I gotta believe!
I don't wanna know
heta na shinjitsu nara
Just spare me the sadness of our world
I don't wanna know

I'm better off not knowing at all
Why, why, why, why?
kizukeba I came too far
Now I realize I came too far
tomaranai kanjiru kono yokan wa
I can't stop it; I can feel that something is starting
The new beginning!

EXCITE! EXCITE! What's the answer?
EXCITE! EXCITE! kotae wa
EXCITE! EXCITE! The answer is...
I. kono te no naka
(One) My life is in my hands
II. susumu beki life
(Two) And all I have to do
III. ikite iku dake
(Three) Is live it to my best
I've had a complete change of heart.
I want to stop Dan Masamune from wreaking havoc,
and help secure the futures and smiles of all.
So, Emu...
Let me out, please?
Emu...
Don't let him trick you...
I don't plan on it.
Episode 43: License to Wear The White Coat
If we don't have permission from the Ministry, we can't free you, Kuroto.
It's Dan Kuroto God!
Aight, meeting's over.
- Okay! - Right!
Great work, everyone.
Leaving god's talents here to rot...
...letting them sit idle is the greatest sin!
And you don't know what Dan Masamune will do next!
Yeah, that's the thing.
What is he up to...?
Wh— Kiriya!
It can't be!
The Gamedeus virus flared up again!
The coroner, too...
All of the patients who were supposed to have been cured have...
- Are you all right? - What's going on?
Are you okay?
Hey, didn't we already cure them?
It must be because Cronus absorbed Gamedeus.
Exactly so.
Cronus...
Kamen Rider Chronicle will evolve through me, the true final boss.

Worry not. I no longer have any use for you lot.
What...?!
What do you mean by that?
The one who has the right to challenge the true final boss...
...is you!
What? Me?
Wh— Wha—?!
Nico!
What the hell is Cronus up to?!
Why did he take her?!
Have you forgotten the rules of Kamen Rider Chronicle already?
The Ride Player who collects all the Gashatrophies will earn the right to challenge the final boss.
Then, Nico was...
What is this place?
You have opened the gates of fate.
Welcome...
...to the game area of the true final boss.
Dan Masamune wants to...
...kill Saiba Nico.
So he's trying to give the player closest to winning a game over,
and reset the progress made on Rider Chronicle?
How do we get to that game area?
It's impossible for you guys.
None of you have obtained the right to transform into the legendary warrior, Cronus.
Transform into Cronus... You mean, Nico can?!
Now, start up Kamen Rider Chronicle.
If you wish to live, you have but one course of action.
Endure all the Bugster viruses that exist, become Cronus, and defeat me.
How will you fare, I wonder...?
Where will your fate lead you?
Will it be a game clear, or a game over?
Where are the Chronicle Gashats?
Huh?
We have the Gashats we collected from the patients, right?!
Wait—
Taiga...
If only I had stopped the Bugsters in their tracks five years ago...
This would never have happened...
What are you going to do?
I'm going to crush that Dan Masamune with my own two hands!
Taiga, wait—
KAMEN RIDER CHRONICLE!
Please, wait!
CLICK AND LOAD!
What are you waiting for?
If you don't defeat me, you have no way of getting out alive.
All right, I'm game!
Don't underestimate what genius gamer N can do!
KAMEN RIDER CHRONICLE!
Transform!
Taiga?!
You won't be fighting. I will.
What's this? An unexpected challenger has appeared.
So you think you have what it takes to obtain the legendary power?
The fact that I'm here is proof enough.
What's going on?
How come only Taiga went to the game area?
I see... So that's how he was able to go.
The unlicensed doctor's been living with the Bugster virus all these five years.
You really don't know anything.
About what it means to be a compatible user, and the true reason we use Gashats...
As the first Kamen Rider, he chose to shoulder the fate of fighting alone,
so we don't have to suffer what he went through.
I've been building Bugster antibodies the last five years.
Oh?
To heck with your Cronus or whatever.
I'll show you I can do it!

Not even death can shake your resolve.
I thought your commercial value had long run out, but,
you truly are something.
Mission start!
GASHACON MAGNUM!
He fought all this time at the risk of his own life.
I have nothing to lose.
That's why I can say,
I'm the only Kamen Rider we need around here.
But, he's realized...
GASHACON BREAKER!
...his fate of putting his life on the line to protect something he doesn't want to lose.
His life... on the line...
But that doesn't mean he should bear all of this alone!
That doesn't mean it's all right for him to die!
Right. He's an idiot who won't learn.
I don't want to lose Nico, or Taiga, or anyone else.
But, what can we do?
We can't even get to the game area!
Gentlemen...
I can easily write a cheat code to access the game area with my godly talents,
and it won't even take five minutes.
I have a proposal.
Get the Ministry's permission and set me free....
...if you don't want to leave Dr. Hanaya and Saiba Nico to die.
How can I make up for what I've done?
What can I do...?
End Chronicle so no one else has to lose their life.
We need to save these lives.
Save... lives...
GASHACON SWORD!
GASHACON SPARROW!
I'll crush you and end Chronicle!
Truly, this is a force to be reckoned with.
However, you have not properly mastered Cronus' power.

It's... not over yet.
I won't let her die!
She's my patient!
You only have death waiting for you, and yet you still stand?
Taiga... That's enough, please.
I can't let it end here.
I've said so before. You're my patient.
I will protect your life.
Even without a license, I...
I want to keep being a doctor.
Then take care of yourself a little better.
We finally know how you really feel.
You guys...
How did you lot get in here?
I guess you could say... it was divine intervention.
I make the impossible possible.
That's what a god's talents can do!
Shut up!
To your self-sacrifice, I say “no thank you”.
You shouldn't neglect your own health.
Doctors have to take care of so many patients' lives, after all.
You can't forget that.
To save our patients, we doctors have the responsibility to live on.
The responsibility to live on...
We're proceeding with a team treatment now.
For your operation.
Taiga.
You're a doctor, aren't you?
That's right.

Taiga! You did it!
Look, you beat Cronus!
Game's over, Cronus.
You lot know nothing of games.
How about I show you?
I'll show you just what happens when you defeat the final boss.
He's— Oh crap!
This is—
The infection is spreading...
Judgment has been passed.
My good doctors, this is the beginning of the pandemic of fate.
“Pandemic”...?!
The true final boss will evolve to become even stronger after being defeated.
That's what a game is!
Humanity shall play to its heart's content!
Indulge in this eternal game with no ending!
NEXT EPISODE
Next time, on Kamen Rider Ex-Aid...
Is it up to the Bugsters...
I want to save the patients!
But if she does that, Poppy will—
To change the fate of humanity?
To save all the humans...
Or will it be the doctors' resolve?
Parad!
Now! Do it now!
I'll change your fate with my own hands, Gamedeus. Transform!
