Kaito transforms into Armored Rider Baron,
and duels Gaim on their bikes.
Suddenly, both bikes are swallowed by a mysterious light
and shoot into a strange and alien world...
The very same forest where Gaim's leader, Yuuya, disappeared.
You wanna go?!
What the heck do you think you're doing?!
This place is crawling with Inves!
You know this place, then?
Yeah. I've been here before.
That's when I got this lock.
That lock?
Yeah.
They were just hanging from the trees here.
They look like normal fruit until you pick them.
H-Hey! It's true, honestly! You don't believe me, do you?!
Well then. How do we get back to the city?
That's kinda the problem here, huh.
It was pretty easy last time. We left through the same hole we came in.
But this time...
I suspect the answer is these bikes.
They seem to be able to travel between the worlds by attaining sufficient speeds.
Hey! Where do you think you're going?!
Staying together is useless to me.
I want to find out more about this world.
I told you, it's too dangerous to go alone!
That's no concern to me.
You, on the other hand, seem afraid to be alone.
Hey!
Fine! I'm gonna go look for Yuuya.
Got it, move... wow...
Don't say no, just live more!
It's survival, you gotta move
When life's in a warring state
Who's got the strength to win
Now that all the locks are open?
Don't say no, just live more!
Where will you find...
Don't say no, just live more!
And how will you use...
The forbidden fruit?
The wind of the moment has its own message to share
It's blowin' stronger and stronger till it reaches you
Your dreams and future may seem so far away...
When you've got all you can out of life, that's when you can stop
But don't let life get you down
Keep your head held high
Wherever you may go
Never compromise yourself
Follow the path you believe in, and just live more!
Don't say no, just live more!
So we have a cease-fire with Baron until they return?

Alright, good night, Mai.
Just where is Kouta?
Mitsuzane.
Ah, brother.
Where have you been, to return at such an hour?
Uh, cram school was doing an extra session tonight.
A sound idea. Your grades have been floundering a bit lately.
I was top of my class in the mid-terms.
When you are more than capable of being top of your year.
Mitsuzane. One day, you will be working by my side in Yggdrasill.
As such, your path in life, and what you must do to attain it are clear.
Are they not?
Of course, brother...
Then apply yourself.
Do not allow yourself to be led astray.
Cast aside distractions, and you shall find fulfillment in life.
I know.
My life's nothing but distractions, after all.
Mitsuzane...
Good night, then.
I'm here.
What?
These are the ones...?
Ripe for the picking.
Number 11? Excellent.
But of course...
It wouldn't be so simple, would it?
Transform!
BANANA
LOCK ON
COME ON!
BANANA ARMS
KNIGHT OF SPEAR
Hey! Is anyone there?
Yuuya!
Well, this sucks.
Maybe I should call the cops or something...
What the hell is this place?!
Is that...
Umm, excuse me?
H-Hey!
Hey, come back!
I swear I'm not doing anything bad!
Man, what was their problem?
What the heck are you doing?!
It grew?!
Transform!
ORANGE

PINEAPPLE AU LAIT
Hey, back up! I'm just looking for someone!
Why're you doing this to me?!
Hmph.
Just... leave me alone...
What? Is this your best?
These should suffice.
Don't run. Attack with all your might.
What? Why would I want to fight you?
Why?
If you dare ask that to your enemy's face,
you do not deserve to have joined the fight at all!
You don't deserve to wield that belt.
I will relieve you of it.
N-No...
It's pointless to seek meaning in battle.
For you will find your resting place before your answer.
This world is full of evil. Evil beyond purpose or reason.
If you've lived this long without seeing that, your life is a waste.
Let this place be your grave!
Team Baron
So what's the big meeting for?
I'm giving you these. Take them.
Huh?!
What brought this on?
You'll get new Lock Seeds from me instead of Sid.
In exchange...
I want your teams as Baron's vassals.
You want us to work for you?!
Actually, Hassy, it's not a bad deal.
With locks like these, we'll sweep the Inves Games.
And with a team alliance, we'll go up in the rankings.
It's better than letting Gaim wipe the floor with us.
Then it's a deal.
This is its own form of strength.
Coming!
Oh, Mai.
Hello.
I'm sorry for calling you here.
Come in.
Kouta, what happened to you?
I went to that forest again.
The forest where Yuuya disappeared...
The forest where Yuuya disappeared.
And I had to fight a new, white Armored Rider.
A white Rider?
He was strong... terrifyingly strong...
I didn't stand a chance.
He could have killed me.
I don't... I mean, killed...
He would have!
He could have, easily.
Isn't this weird?
All I did was play in the Inves Game.
Even when I dueled Baron, it was still all according to the rules.
But the truth is...
This belt's power is way beyond that.
It's not for playing a game. It's for fighting to the death, fighting for your life.
Kouta...
I realize now...
That as long as I keep wearing this belt, he'll come for me again.
And next time, I won't make it out in one piece.
So I...
can never transform again.
Kouta...
No problem. We'll be fine.
You don't have to worry about us anymore.
Mai, that–
Yuuya got this to help the team.
We'll keep it safe with us in the garage.
Okay?
Just rest up.
And come hang out whenever you feel like it.
Mai... I'm sorry.
It's fine. Don't worry about it.
Mai...
Did you hear about Baron's alliance?
If we don't have Kouta, then...
That's enough!
We can't keep depending on Kouta!
We've got to take care of the team ourselves!
But...
I know the place... where Kouta went.
What?
That's where we got in trouble before.
Kouta saved me then, too.
He always does.
He keeps getting himself hurt to save everybody else.
So, I can't leave this belt with him anymore.
Just having it will hurt him.
What's wrong with getting hurt if it means you can save someone else?
What?
I don't think Kouta did anything wrong.
If you think he did, then you don't understand what he's done for us.
Micchy...
I know Kouta can come back from this!
He hasn't done anything wrong!
I can never transform again...
We have to take care of the team ourselves!
I want to change. I hate being like this.
But...
Is there anything I can do to help?
Hello!
I need something from you.
Yes? A Lock Seed?
Yeah, and a belt to put it in.
Some things money just can't buy, you know.
Why not?
I only let a few specific people have a Sengoku Driver.
House policy, you know.
Besides, you're Takatora Kureshima's little bro, aren't you?
You know my brother?
His dad's a real big shot up in Yggdrasill Corp.,
and he's project manager of their R&D department.
If it got out that I let his little brother stick his hand in the fire,
I wouldn't be able to show my face in Zawame again.
Well, Mr. Sid.
You're absolutely right. I'm a Kureshima.
I have an incredibly promising career laid out for me if I were ever to join Yggdrasill.
I'm sure I could become even more powerful than my brother Takatora.
Hold on...
I completely understand you're afraid of angering my brother.
But in the long term, I'm not sure it's him you should be afraid of.
You'd do well...
to get on my good side while you can.
You've got the Kureshima ruthlessness, all right.
I like you, kid.
Now, if you're the nice, well-mannered Kureshima son I think you are...
Say I happened to leave something behind. I'm sure you'd return it.
If I were the well-mannered Kureshima son, I suppose.
After the break, he finally transforms!
Team Gaim's Stage
Sup!
What?
What's the matter, Gaim?
I don't see your little bodyguard anywhere.
Mai...
Micchy?
I've got this, Mai.
What?
Hideyasu Jounouchi, Team Invitto.
Your cowardly tricks are infamous.
I prefer the term “tactics,” thank you.
Did you think you'd stomp all over us without Kouta here?
Sorry to burst your bubble.
Don't tell me you're...
Micchy! That's a...
But it's not going to be that easy.
Seriously?
GRAPE
There will always be hardship and sorrow in life.
LOCK ON
But I'd rather take them upon myself than let the people I love suffer.
That's why you did it... right, Kouta?
Transform!
GRAPE ARMS
DRAGON, FIRE! BANG, BANG, BANG!
What?!
Another Armored Rider?!
Hello, Zawame City, and all you Beat Riders out there!
Have I got some major news for you!
Ok! Feast your eyes on the hottest new footage!
C-C-Can you believe it?!
Team Gaim's got their hands on a second Armored Rider!
Seriously?!
Even Team Invitto's new A Class Seed couldn't save them!
Whoa!
Live On Air
It's a game where players use Lock Seeds to open a gate to another world, and summon Inves to do battle with each other!
About the Inves Game
This new rider's a gunslinger with a zing of Chinese flavor!
He shoots down foes with a burst of fire, like the roaring breath of a dragon!
So let's call him Armored Rider Ryugen!
Ok! Get pumped, people!
What the...?!
Next time, on Kamen Rider Gaim:
They're definitely worth our attention.
Baron and his cronies have challenged Micchy!
This is something only I can do! That's why I was given this power!
That's why I won't run from it!
Next time, it's...
