As the Riders' allegiances shift like a modern Warring States,
Kouta is left shocked as a charismatic patissier named Oren transforms into a durian Armored Rider.
What will become of the Armored Riders, Kurokage and Ornac?
Come on!
Wha–
Un, deux…
Trois!
Whoa! That was amazing!
That old guy's tough!
He's no ordinary baker...
Un, deux, trois!
Hey, Ornac!
Come on, Ornac, teamwork!
Come now! Eyes on me!
Ow!
Hey, Ornac!
Really getting tired of that name...
Spanking time!
Ow!
Damn it...
What are you–?!
Oh, how cute! These are my spoils, are they?
Thank you~!
What a weakling! If this were a real war, you'd be in a body bag by now!
Eat this!
Oh my, merci!
That geezer's awesome!
Bravo!
Incredible…
Thank you~!
Hey!
What are you trying to pull?
Excuse me?
That wasn't even a fight!
What's so fun about messing with people and making a fool out of them,
When you know you've already won?
Such is the cruel world of professional entertainment, my boy.
The viewers want blood, and tis the players' duty to provide!
It's a whole other world from your little amateur playfights!
You're crazy!
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!

We've got another steaming hot piece of news fresh off the streets!
There's a new Rider in town, and we're gonna call him Bravo!
He's a stranger to the world of street dancing we all know,
But as a combatant, he's the real deal!
He made his explosive entrance by cracking Invitto and Raid Wild,
He's crushed his way through four other teams since then!
And collected a whole bowl of Lock Seeds in the process!
Okay! We're bringing you an exclusive video message from the man himself, Bravo!
Check it out, everyone!
How did you like my show?
That's Bravo?
I trust a display of true fighting passion was to your taste?
I hope you've seen just how much a professional outclasses these amateurs.
If you stop giving these Beat Riders the oxygen of attention, they'll soon fade away like they deserve.
So I ask you, my darling people, to keep your eyes on me. And I'll show you what a pro can do.
Honestly, what's that creep up to?
Here you go.
Awesome!
He's the patissier from Charmant, right?
Having the skill to make such wonderful cakes must make him dangerous in a fight!
Mai, you do realize he's a threat to every single Beat Rider, right?
Huh? Oh. Right.
But why's he doing this?
Yeah, what did we ever do to piss off some famous cake guy?
It doesn't make any sense.
Hmm… maybe it bugs him to see you guys just having fun...
What?
Well, he trained for ages and won a ton of contests,
All so he could make cakes for people to enjoy, right?
But nowadays, anyone can be an artist just by uploading a video.
Used to be, an artist couldn't get anywhere without a teacher's blessing.
But that's ancient history.
Pathetic.
I bet this Bravo would love to see you two moping around.
Kaito! You're not saying he's right, are you?
It doesn't matter if he's right or not.
He's backing it up with his power.
You can only argue with the strong by being even stronger.
I'm going on break!
You always pick the perfect times to leave, don't you?
If you don't like what he says, defeat him and shut him up.
But…
Do you even have the mettle to do that, Gaim?
That's not going to solve anything!
We received a challenge from this Bravo character this morning.
What?
Isn't that a relief, Gaim?
You can just sit on the sidelines and watch.
I'll shut him up for you.
Wow!
Gennosuke Oren.
Emigrated to France fifteen years ago to perfect his baking art.
Fought in Africa and the Middle East as part of the Parachute Regiment in pursuit of citizenship.
After his service, changed his name to Pierre Alfonso,
Gained his title of master patissier, then returned to Japan last year.
And that's it.
So, he's an elite soldier with real combat experience.
How did such a dangerous individual get his hands on one of our Drivers?
I couldn't tell you.
I can guarantee who I gave the Driver to, but that doesn't mean they'll be the owners.
They could always give it to someone else and let them initialize it.
How do you intend to fix this, Sid?
Now, hold on.
You can never predict everything that could go wrong…
Overseer Kureshima.
I mean, you did lose that valuable Watermelon Lock Seed somewhere, didn't you?
And yet, you're always so eager to discipline your subordinates for their mistakes…
Even so, letting a trained soldier use the Driver is too dangerous!
We must recover it at once!
Really?
I think we should extend our hand to him.
It'll be a great boost to my program, too.
The purpose of your little show is propaganda, nothing more.
Do not mistake your place!
But Professor Ryouma likes him having it.
He says he's getting unprecedentedly useful data.
Indeed.
It is an unusual case, but within the bounds of the project as a whole.
Why don't we let him go a bit longer?
Takatora.
Just keep an eye on the streets.
Contact me immediately if anything happens.
Yeah, yeah.
Yessir.
Such might… what are you?
Sorry, but you just can't match my training.
But you won't win with brute force alone!
BATTLE, START!
Oh my, my, my!
That's quite the artistic move. Not bad at all, for an amateur.
But one thing you must learn...
Is that the best art is always the most fragile!
What?!
Here you go!
DURIAN SQUASH
Don't push yourself.
That's a rather deep wound you just took.
I'm…
Not done yet!
Oh my.
Are you taking pity on me?
You show genuine promise.
Train yourself up. I'd be delighted to take you on again.
See you!
Team Gaim's Stage
Did you hear Bravo beat up Baron too?
Is there any Beat Rider than can stand up to him?
I bet Gaim's next on the list.
What if he came here?
No way!
It'd be great!
What are you doing?
You're…
Mr. Oren!
Mai?
He really came!
If this city's really going to provide public stages for this nonsense...
The least they could do is make sure the acts are actually talented.
Where do you get off judging our dancing?
Well I don't see anyone else bothering, sweetie!
It's important that the chaff is removed from art, that only the best remains to be seen!
It's because know-nothing amateurs like yourselves get to prance around like this,
That culture as we know it is in a decline!
We don't care about art or culture!
Yeah. We only want to share our fun with the streets. Isn't that all right?
It's wrong, darling, all wrong!
Art is not a playground for the likes of you!
DURIAN
Whoa!
It's durian time!
LOCK ON
DURIAN ARMS
MISTER DANGEROUS
Whoa there!
Kouta!
This is gonna get ugly. Get back.
He's a tough one. I'll back you up.
Okay!
Oh, so you're a Beat Rider too, are you.
That explains your terrible fashion sense!
You said you don't get along with Aquarians, right?
I don't make a habit of paying any attention to horoscopes...
But just this once, they're spot on!
Micchy!
Right!
ORANGE
GRAPE
Transform!
LOCK ON
ORANGE ARMS
GRAPE ARMS
THE PATH OF BLOSSOMS! TO THE STAGE!
DRAGON, FIRE! BANG, BANG, BANG!
Let us begin!
Oh, give it a damn rest!
Why, you!
He's using Kouta as a shield!
Go, get him!
Ow…
Micchy!
Whoa…
He's really good at fighting!
You worked longer and harder than anyone to become a master patissier.
You're proud of that, right?
Of course I am. I'm a true professional, after all.
Then, why can't you be satisfied just being proud of your cakes?
They're making more people way happier than what you're doing to us!
Silence!
Kouta!
Micchy!
Eat this!
Kouta!
Micchy!
He's so strong…
Ah, I know! Let's try out that adorable little tactic of his!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
You're meant to be controlling them!
What do you mean?
He doesn't even know the first thing about summoning Inves!
And there's so many of them!
This is bad!
Hold it right there!
Run!
Rat!
How dare you! I am your commander!
Such insubordination! You'd think I could beat some sense into you!
There's too many of them!
Kouta! Use this!
Another new lock?
What's this one gonna be?
WATERMELON
Whoa! It's huge!
Micchy, I can't handle this!
What is that, a wrecking ball?
It's gigantic!
Oh, how beautiful...
Micchy, it's too big!
Look at the size of it...
A real man rises to the challenge!
LOCK ON
K-Kouta?
Come on!
- Whoa! Whoops! - Kouta!
Come on!
- Whoa! Whoops! - Kouta!
Koutaaaa!
Literal suicide tactics! Beautiful!
WATERMELON ARMS
WRECKING BALL, BIG BANG!
My lovely tactical unit!
Nice, Micchy! This is gonna be a big help!
Yes!
Kouta! You're okay...
Very well!
Time to split you!
He's gonna split me like a melon!
It split…
Good!
Hey, look!
This is my stage now!
ARMOR MODE
Oh my!
Ahhhhhh!!!
Alright!
Awesome!
It was nothing...
Uh oh!
Kouta?
Back off, Micchy! I'll handle him!
Oh, look at you, you beautiful beast! Go! Get him!
Wha...?! After him, Micchy!
Okay!
Use this!
WRECKING MODE
Thanks!
Whoa, Micchy!
Get 'em!
Why...?
Take this!
ARMOR MODE
WATERMELON SQUASH
Gonna slice you up!
Kouta, we did it!
Heh.
Yeah!
How dare you, you amateurs!
Ouverture!
Oh dear me! I need to get back and bake those pie crusts!
Hey!
I will get you for this!
Do not think you've beaten me!
He's not gonna learn, is he?
I guess not.
Baron used to be tied for first, but they lost to Bravo.
And since Gaim beat Bravo, they took all those points!
And that puts Team Gaim in first place with a huge lead!
Congratulations!
Here you go!
Toast! Let's do a toast!
Hey, hey, where's Mai?
Let's wait a bit.
I can't wait!
Thanks for waiting!
You are late!
I'm sorry!
Here you go! A cake to celebrate!
...wait, isn't this from Charmant?
What's wrong with Charmant?
They make the best cakes!
Whoa!
Nice!
That's a good point, but…
To being number one!
Cheers!
Watch the preview for a sneak peak at Baron's new Arms!
Next time on Kamen Rider Gaim:
Mai's in trouble!
Stop following me. You're slowing me down.
You and I have a different idea of strength, Kaito.
