Did any of you know this?
A rook, which is a piece in chess, symbolizes a tower.
By the way, cool is slang for great.
I'm cool, wouldn't you say?
You dirty monster!
Just as I expect from a Wolfen...
Only good for running away.
This is...
Pump that beating heart
Send 'em flying, kick it up
Light that burning heart
You're my one and only
(Wake up, wake up)
Have you ever wondered what your purpose in the world is?
Pump that beating heart
(Beatin', beatin')
Light that burning heart
(Come up y'all)
If you just lock yourself away, nothing will ever begin
You have to kick your way through that shut door
You'll never be able to count away all of your fears
(Just kick it)
So break the rules of fate
Dash through life trusting the bonds you can't see!
(Just do it)
You've got to change, breakin' the chain
Get up and soar toward the future
Don't be afraid, the world is your stage
Go!
Pump that beating heart
You're my one and only
Episode 16 Player: The Rules of Cruelty
Time for another time trial!
Okay, Wataru.
Okay.
Here, Biggie!
Are you okay, Biggie?
Hey... You shouldn't be spacing out.
Did you remember something?
Hi!
It's the girl from earlier! Hi!
Thank you so much!
My family owns a restaurant. Come and eat!
I still owe you a meal!
It's yummy!
There's plenty to go around. No need to hold back!
That's right!
You kids are young! You've gotta eat up!
Knead, knead, knead, knead...
What is it?
Knead, knead, knead, knead...
Do you want to try?
No, Biggie! You shouldn't bother him.
It's fine!
Hey, did you want to try?
Take your coat off.
Good, good. Ok.
You're sure built!
We're actually hiring right now. Do you think he'd be interested?
No... he might be a bit of a handful.
Biggie's actually suffering from amnesia.
Amnesia? No way!
Really. It's true.
He can't remember anything.
Then that's more reason for him to work.
Having something to do might jog his memory.
That's right.
He should give it a try if he wants.
Working can be refreshing, right?
Someone just quit, so it would be a big help!
What do you want to do, Biggie?
Biggie...
will do it!
Great!
Game cleared!
I'm getting myself a prize!
I owe you guys one.
Take care.
Do take care of yourself, Sachiko.
"Congrats on being able to even leave the hospital" is what I should say.
"Thanks"... But no thanks.
I will gladly finish our match if that's what your after.
I need to borrow your muscle.
Huh?
Sorry. I've got nothing to borrow. I'm afraid I'm too tired.
It's not for me. It's for Yuri.
For Yuri?
Her mother's murderer showed up. Now Yuri's acting reckless.
She took IXA, and now she's trying to enact her vendetta on this Fangire.
Her mother's... murderer?
I'm listening.
He's one of the Checkmate Four, the group that rules over the Fangires.
His name's Rook.
Yuri doesn't stand a chance.
Is he really that strong?
On a whole other level. Also...
...he's pissed.
He's always playing a game.
He makes up rules for killing humans.
If he wins, he gets a prize.
If he loses, he punishes himself.
He plays pointlessly again and again by himself.
That's the kinda man he is.
I see. Sounds like a dangerous fellow.
You understand, now help me.
Sure, but while the Hydra's heads may work together,
that doesn't mean they won't eat each other.
...I will defeat you. Don't forget it.
I wonder if Biggie will be okay?
He's just working all of a sudden...
You're right. I just hope he isn't too much trouble.
Wataru!
Biggie! What is it? Is it about work?
Uh... I have a delivery.
No, no! We didn't order anything!
No, Biggie! Not here!
Sorry!
Sorry for the surprise, guys.
Come on, Biggie, lets go.
Okay!
Fried, fried, fried, fried...
Here's your fried special.
Thanks for waiting.
- Thank you.
Hey, Biggie! You forgot the miso soup.
I'm sorry.
Your turn.
Sorry.
What is this? Eri, you guys look cute together.
She's blushing.
It's nice to be so young.
Thank goodness. It's working out somehow.
I have a good feeling about them.
My brake!
Watch out, Biggie!
Thanks.
Thank you, Biggie.
What's going on? What's this for?
Please! Let us keep Biggie!
He's cheery and athletic.
The customers love him.
I want him to be the heir of the Hoteiya Resturant.
Please!
This is fun, Biggie.
Yeah! It's fun!
Don't you have a good feeling about them?
But... is it okay to let them be like this?
What do you mean?
What will happen when Biggie gets his memories back?
It's okay. Biggie is Biggie after all.
Of course. You're right.
Biggie?
Did you really remember something?
That's right. Isn't it, Biggie?
What did you remember?
A fountain...
A fountain?
A water fountain with red tiles.
Delicious!
Now, for the next time trial....
Balloons.
That's it!
Not you.
Where did he go?!
Not you.
Hold on.
Relax, I heard your story.
I will avenge your mother—
We'll take care of it.
I have an idea.
- I have an idea.
No!
I'll kill him myself.
Forgive me, Yuri.
Let's go.
What can I do?
There are fountains everywhere.
Is that you, Ms. Megumi?
What's that mean?
I guess, you just look older.
Megu?
Don't get sick, Megumi.
What are you implying?!
I've been up all night. All night!
Unlike you guys, I'm hard at work!
I've been profiling Fangire cases from 22 years ago.
Understand?!
Ah, welcome.
Boss, coffee.
Okay.
You! How about training instead of wasting time?
You're gonna lose to Kiva again.
As I said before. I did not lose.
IXA lost.
But now IXA has a new power.
Power worthy of me.
- If you please! - Come to Godfather Restaurant!
Reopening today, newly remodeled!
Please come.
Is this the place you remember, Biggie?
Well, is it, Biggie?
What is it, Biggie?
Did you remember something?
Stop it!
It's okay. Don't force it, Biggie! Let's go home, okay?
That's far enough.
Sorry, but it's game over for you.
No...
How about another round?
And in this round, I slay you.
This is for my pack!
FIST ON
Yuri!
You monster!
Why did you murder my mother?
I don't remember every person I've played with.
You're full of it!
Yuri!
You piece of...!
READY
Transform!
FIST ON
Let's go, Fido!
Better say your prayers!
How dare you play games like this?!
Time's up?!
I will punish myself.
Are you okay, Biggie?
Biggie?
I wonder if Biggie's okay.
He seemed to be in pain.
Biggie...
Why?!
He's a Fangire?!
No...
Biggie is...
He can't be...
Biggie...
22 years ago, I fell asleep.
Because of that, it seems my memory was a bit fuzzy.
My name is Rook!
Of the great Checkmate Four!
He can't be...
He can't be! He can't be! He can't be!
Kivat!
Let's take a bite out of 'em!
Chomp!
Transform.
The inheritor of Kiva?!
Fascinating!
For the finish!
Sleeping within the earth...
come forth, my fellow souls!
Wataru!
This is bad! Hey, Wataru!
Castle Doran!
READY
Transform!
FIST ON
POWERED IXA
Please move!
Wataru, wake up!
If you don't, Castle Doran can't reach its full power!
It's too much for you! Watch me!
This is IXA's new power!
Let's go!
Finish it!
Hey, Wataru!
Wataru!
Next time on Kamen Rider Kiva...
If we kill him, the three of us can leave.
Let me show you how to win a match.
My partner...
Transform!
Wake Up!
