I will defeat all you damn Worms.
Every last one!
The chosen one...
....is me.
You're...?!
I will shape the future using my own two hands.
Transform!
TRANSFORM
Good job, Kagami.
You're not Kagami, are you?
Target, lost.
As long as you wish for it to be done
All you desire will soon become reality
So long as you're the fated chosen one
Chaos spreads itself all around
Our chance to turn the world back to the way it was
Is fast slipping away
Your heartbeat is moving fast
Already out beating the clock
Racing to the dawn of a brand new day
When we both rise to fight, standing here side-by-side,
I feel myself reborn
Moving at a speed, a motion invisible to the eye
I will go to any length, protecting you with my strength
This is all that I've sworn
Losing sight of this rapid vision is unwise
You won’t even believe your eyes…
KAMEN RIDER KABUTO
Souji, good morning!
Good morning.
Let's eat!
Today's breakfast is great, too!
Nothing in the news of what happened yesterday...
So this is the power their organization possesses.
You say something?
I've been thinking about getting into the stock market.
I think that would suit you.
Really?
Well then Juka, how about I start by buying your school?
And than assign myself as principal.
Right on!
So you were not the one who transformed?
Right.
Than who did?
Well...
I've only ever seen him once before.
He's... how do I put this...?
Put simply, he's weird.
He's weird?
Those that are not a member of ZECT are not qualified to be Riders.
Find him.
Misaki.
Yes, sir.
The qualified candidate from headquarters has made contact.
Very well, I'll escort the belt to the rendezvous point.
No... there's somewhere I'd like you to go first.
It'll be okay.
"I'm by your side."
I'm by your side.
What'll happen when we find that guy who transformed?
Not like we can just let him join us, right?
It's possible, if he can be of use to us.
That'd be awful.
On second thought...
If we do that, he'd be a rank below me.
Then I'll no longer be on the bottom!
Sounds great!
The real problem is if he decides not to join ZECT.
What happens than?
In that situation, we'd need to eliminate him.
Are we allowed to do that?!
In this day and age? Here in Japan?!
Sometimes that's what's required.
The sooner you accept it, the better.
Awesome.
I don't know who this guy from headquarters is, but surely it's wasted on him.
Go already. It's time for your part-time job, right?
This is the place?
One Île-de-France special.
One salmon with basil sauce, please.
Sure.
And that's not all, because in fact...
Yeah, yeah, it's that...
- What is it?! - How rude!
Smoke.
How very rude! No need to ridicule us! Why can't we smoke?!
- Right? - Forget it.
What do you mean "forget it"?!
- What a coward. - Hey, what are you doing there?
What's the meaning of this?
Hey, what's your problem?
What?
Putting it out is common sense.
It's not good for the child.
You punk!
Go! Let's get outta here!
Savor your shame, and get lost.
Mackerel miso.
Like I said, mackerel miso.
We don't have that.
You cannot deceive my nose.
I assume it's what the chef is making.
Hiyori.
Why don't we give him some?
Red miso and white miso...
...and a new blend of miso, right?
Until today, I've only ever used this word to describe my grandmother's cooking:
Delicious.
It's my first time as chef here.
So, I made mackerel miso.
It's too bad.
You make better mackerel miso than me. You should be more confident.
You're... a strange guy, aren't you?
Your name is Hiyori, yes?
It's rude to address a customer in such a informal way.
Then... how should I address you?
My grandmother once said...
"He who walks the path of heaven—"
'Morning!
I'm starved.
Aren't you on the last shift, Kagami?
Oh, I just wanted to try Hiyori's mackerel miso.
Yo.
Tendou...
Good timing. I came here to see you.
Huh...?
I want to talk to you about ZECT, that organization—
Can we talk outside?
I see.
So you keep your duties with ZECT a secret from them.
Forget that, why do you have a Rider belt?!
Tell me about ZECT first.
Then I will return the favor.
I can't give you the details.
But believe us! We risk our lives to fight the Worms.
We protect peace.
You're mistaken.
It's not that you can't tell me, it's that you know nothing to tell.
Sorry, but I don't trust those who are not well informed.
Still, please be our ally!
Please!
I'm begging you!
Very well.
Really?
However!
You will be ranked below me.
What?!
It is only natural. I am the strongest, aren't I?
I'm doing this for your sake!
Can't you tell?!
Your desperation tells me one thing.
If I resist, they'll dispose of me.
If I step out of line, I'll be killed.
That's how ZECT functions, no?
That guy...
Yes.
Go to the rendezvous point to meet Misaki.
Something happen?
The candidate has been killed.
I understand, I'll be right there.
The Worm came straight for him.
They knew he was the one who was qualified to wear the belt.
That's why the enemy is such a terrifying opponent.
Tendou's in danger...
No matter how strong, someone unarmed is no match for the Worm.
If someone transforms, can they match the Worm's Clock Up?
Of course.
Kagami...
Wait! What are you doing?!
Wait for me, Tendou!
This time I will fight!
I know what you're thinking.
In this location, the Zecter can't reach me to transform.
That's why you think you can win.
But...
You are underestimating my power.
If I say "come,"
then he... will come.
This time I will become a Rider.
Then I will defeat you bastards!
Come! Kabuto Zecter!
Because...
I am the chosen one!
Transform!
TRANSFORM
Why?!
Why won't it come to me?!
They used Clock Up!
Tendou!
Hang on!
Who can you save if you get killed?
Looks like the hero type doesn't suit you.
Just shut up and listen!
The Masked Rider System has the ability to combat Clock Up.
Find a way to use it.
I already know how.
What?!
Sorry, but I've had a long relationship with the belt.
I just wanted to see how far I could go in this form.
So this whole time...
Cast Off!
CAST OFF
CHANGE: BEETLE
Clock Up.
CLOCK UP
In the Clock Up Rider form, one is capable of speeds greater than any human.
CLOCK OVER
This is... Kabuto.
Wait, that's my bike!
Clock Up.
CLOCK UP
CLOCK OVER
ONE TWO THREE
Rider... Kick.
RIDER KICK
I see.
So at last, Kabuto is...
However...
We cannot allow someone outside of ZECT to be a Rider.
Tell me, are you fond of owls?
Pardon?
Even if its prey is cloaked in absolute darkness.
Even if its breath is stilled as it hides.
It gracefully brings its hunt down.
It's a beautiful sight.
I will definitely find and eliminate him.
Kamen Rider Kabuto!
You're not fit to be a member of ZECT.
What are you?
What are you?!
Your organization's true power... ZECT's power, you will show it to me.
What are they after?
What's their criteria for picking victims? We don't have a clue.
My grandmother once said...
"Make the world revolve around you."
"Life is more fun that way."
Who are you?!
"It was more than a meteorite that fell from space." Right?
Walking the path of heaven. Ruling over us all.
