Make as many Drivers as you can...
To save as many as people as you can. That...
That is our mission, right?
I created the Drivers for you!
Yeah.
So I can save humanity.
All my hopes are in your Drivers.
My word...
What a bore you are.
Stop.
Everything above this floor is restricted to project members only.
The end is coming.
Stop!
Save us lost sheep.
Professor!
What the heck? This could hurt someone.
Sengoku Ryoma.

Ryoma.
Yo, Takatora. Why are you back so soon?
Oh, if it's for the Genesis Driver, there's a delay in completing it.
Alas, my precious samples were damaged.
No, I'm here about the explosion.
Minato is already looking into it. You're not needed.
But why a suicide bomber? What happened?!
I don't recall that Lockseed.
And I don't recall making it.
What?!
Someone other than me created it.
That's unforgivable...
A Lockseed that I don't know.
As far as we can tell, the attacker was an innocent civilian.
His personal history was spotless.
But in the last few weeks, the people around him...
...noticed him acting strangely.
It's been a while since I've done this. Almost nostalgic.
A corporate spy?
What a boorish thing to do.
You...
You are empty inside.
You have no interest in doing anything for yourself.
Just who are you?
You are devoid of passion.
That's why you seek others.
You're drawn to the passion of others.
That makes things more exciting.
It makes it more dramatic.
Hey.
Do you want to see the birth of the ruler of the world?
We are the Black Bodhi Tree.
We will save the whole world.
The end of the world is coming.
Accept our salvation.
This is...
The Black Bodhi Tree?
They're a cult who have been gaining traction in Zawame lately.
But...
Why do they have this?
What's that?
Looks like part of a Lockseed to me.
Why are you following me?
Takatora.
Because you suddenly left.
You're on to something, aren't you?
It's nothing for you to worry about.
Don't be like that.
This incident will likely cause problems for Project Ark.
I can't just ignore it.
As you wish.
You're...
What is it, Ryoma?
Hey.
What is it?!
Hey!
I'm sure that man is...
The end is coming.
Save us lost sheep.
Oh my.
Long time no see.
Sengoku Ryoma.
So it is you... Kudo Kugai.
I knew you'd figure it out from the clue I left.
What's the meaning behind this?
Why is this part here?
After all, you are...
I've come to guide you to the world of the gods.
What?
But first... you must pass this ordeal.
Ryoma!
Did you hear about Kudo?
Yeah. The Lockseed went out of control during the test.
Poor guy.
Our superiors must be nuts to go along with that shady plan.
It can't be helped. President Kureshima Amagi likes it.
Hey, it's Sengoku Ryoma.
What a creep.
Whatever...
Sacrifices are necessary for the sake of science.
Is this really what to expect from the supposed "top company" Yggdrasill?
What a waste.
Who are you?
You're trespassing!
Oh, sorry.
Were you the one who wrote those documents?
What if I did?
They're amazing.
What'd you say?
Your research might save the world.
I'm Takatora.
I've been put in charge of the Counter-Helheim Project.
Takatora?!
Oh, right...
You're Kureshima's son!
I need your brilliance. Please help me.
I'm Sengoku Ryoma.
Where am I?
You awake, Ryoma?
You shielded me?
Of course.
I can't afford to lose you.
You're just so...
Was he the ringleader?
Just who was he?
Kudo Kugai.
The man once in charge of Yggdrasill's laboratory.
You could say he was my predecessor.
I've never heard of him.
To cover up an accident, all records of him were erased.
That's right.
It was an accident where the first Lockseed that I created went out of control.
Kudo Kugai died in that accident.
He shouldn't exist.
I've lost everything.
But I've gained power.
How about you, Sengoku Ryoma?
Are you worthy of becoming a god?
POMEGRANATE
I must find out.
To obtain a god's power in order to save the world.
What's wrong?
Is a party starting?
Let me join in.
Oh man.
As usual, more of the professor's rough treatment.
Hey! Wait! Just stay away!
I can't die here.
I'll show that I'm better than everyone else!
Oh? I thought you were just a thug...
But you're an interesting one.
Who're you?!
Why sell this stuff?
It's power you want, right?
Come with me.
Well, just remember to watch your back.
Not gonna let you blow up.
What was I doing?
Oh? That woke you up?
Good timing.
Tell me where you got this Lockseed.
In the past few weeks, civilians have mentioned seeing a ghost.
We think that ghost is Kudo Kugai as he appears and disappears.
Professor!
It's as you predicted.
It sounds like it was the Black Bodhi Tree who were distributing these Lockseeds.
There's some trick to it.
Fine work, you two. You're both truly talented.
This Lockseed sends the user into trance.
In a sense, it instantly brainwashes you.
And if you activate this... it goes boom!
Brainwashing and suicide bombing.
A Lockseed made for terrorists?!
That's unforgivable.
Using my research for such a lowly thing as this.
What's Kugai after? Revenge against you?
Who knows?
But I doubt he'll stay quiet.
For Kugai's Lockseed to do the brainwashing, a command must be given.
So if I trace it, I should be able to find where he's hiding.
That's not like you.
Are you planning to go in alone?
Takatora.
Why are you here?
I can't let people use your research for evil.
Oh my.
This is a Lockseed mass-production factory?
An artificial Helheim.
You did all of this behind my back. My word.
Isn't that right?
Kudo Kugai?!
Just as I'd expect from Sengoku Ryoma.
You're Kudo Kugai?
I was right.
To save the world, your power is needed.
I find you most unpleasant. I will need you to disappear right now.
Very well.
This will be the final ordeal.

I wish I had finished the Genesis Driver.
At least I was smart and brought the prototype.
How nostalgic. It's been too long since you used that Driver.
Indeed.
When we first started investigating Helheim...
The two of us were often reckless.
Back then, I used to admire you from the bottom of my heart.
And you showed understanding of my research.
Even now, I believe that was a good relationship.

What are you talking about? It's thanks to the power you gave me.
You could have become a god.
Truly, what a waste.
A few days later
I knew you were still alive, Kugai.
No...
That phrasing might not be entirely accurate.
Kugai.
You are no longer human, are you?
Sengoku Ryoma... you guided me...
...to another world.
What happened to me?
By Kureshima Amagi's orders...
I died participating in the Lockseed activation test.
At least, my human side died.
But... with no body, I was reborn into a greater being.
My goal is not revenge.
I just wanted to test you.
And now, I'm sure.
Come with me, Sengoku Ryoma.
I will become God and save the world.
To do that, I need your power.
Your goal is to give birth to a god, right?
I can make that happen.
Kureshima Takatora can't do it.
Enough with your jokes.
You're just third rate.
Takatora is indeed a pity.
He doesn't understand me the way I thought he did.
Now, he's just an obstacle.
But, I still acknowledge him...
Unlike you!
I sense zero potential from you!
A boor like you...
...cannot become a god.

I'm fine...
See! Don't overdo it!
Sis, Zack's awake!
Thank goodness!
Sis and the other refugees have returned to Zawame.
Azami...
Oh, I'll go tell the others.
We were all saved thanks to you, Zack.
No big deal...
I didn't do anything.
That's not true!
Zack, you always do your best!
It was true when you were appointed Team Baron's leader as well as when you first started dancing.
You're always straightforward.
Kamen Rider Gaim Gaiden
One year later
Piece of cake!
Hey, Kaito! We're steamrolling these ruffians!
The weak shall perish, and the strong survive.
Such are the rules of nature.
Zack, what's wrong?
No.
It's nothing.
Did you hear that Jounouchi won a sweets contest?
I see.
Kureshima Mitsuzane is apparently going abroad with his brother.
Makes you wonder what we should be doing.
Peko.
I've made a decision.
I'm going to New York.
I want to see how far I can go as a dancer.
Hey, wait a second. What about Team Baron?!
I'll be back in a year.
Till then...
I'm leaving it in your hands.
I can't do it!
Please understand. I've thought this through.
I also...
...don't know what I should be doing right now.
So...
Zack...
Go see him off.
You and Zack are the same.
But...
Kumon Kaito! I will inherit your strength!
Shura! Shura! Shura!
New York
That's it!
We'll give you the result later.
Next, number 40.
Catherine Jones.
How was it?
There's only a slight hope.
Oh yeah.
Baron was your dance team, wasn't it?
Everyone talks about it.
Neo Baron?!
Oh, Azami. It's been a while.
Zack, I know this is an important time for you...
But I need your help.
Peko hasn't come back?
Neo Baron is just a pack of thugs and drifters.
They're gaining influence by gambling on underground fights.
And the one running it is...
Shura.
I can't believe it's him.
So this is Zawame's number one team? Looks like they're little more than show.
You're not bad. What's your name?
Kumon Kaito.
How about it? Want to join the team and dance with us?
Very well...
Starting today, this team is mine.
What'd you just say?!
Can you not hear? This team is mine.
Hey, what kind of crap are you spouting?
You bastard!
Now, now.
You can join the team, but it doesn't belong to anyone.
I see...
In that case, prove it through your might.
Zack!
You pass.
But...
Shura!
Why did you try to pull such a cowardly act?
My bad... I'll do what you want. Just forgive me.
My team does not need cowards.
Get lost!
Welcome back.
I'm home.
Here.
Peko's been working real hard since you left.
But... he said he couldn't forgive Neo Baron for the trouble they were causing.
So he went in alone?
About Neo Baron's leader...
Yeah, I heard.
I can't believe it's Shura.
He might have a grudge from being thrown out.
Well, I'll just have to ask him myself.
I'm going. Please head back, Azami.
Alright! No more bets!
The match is starting!
Peko...
They're so enthusiastic...
I did it!
Now you're a member of Neo Baron.
I got it!
One man died.
That man's name was Kumon Kaito.
He created Team Baron.
He sought strength. Strength to change the world!
Cry out his name.
Kaito! Kaito!
Kaito! Kaito! Kaito!
Let the strong gather to me!
I will carry on Kumon Kaito's will!
I will create a world where only the strong are left!
Zack...
Well, well. There's a familiar face.
Everyone, let me introduce you.
The man who created Team Baron with Kumon Kaito!
It's Zack!
Peko, we're going.
What the heck? You're just a kid.
Want to play?
What's the meaning behind this?
Zack, the rules here are simple.
If you want to take Peko with you, you have to prove your strength.
If you win the match, you can have him back.
Very well.
Well done.
Now keep your end of the bargain.
Peko, let's go.
I'm staying here.
Why?!
You shouldn't ignore what he wants.
How about it, Zack?
Why don't you join us too?
Let's follow Kaito's ideals together.
Me? Join you thugs?
The salvation will come soon.
Saver System.
If this weapon is created, all the humans will disappear from Zawame.
This is salvation.
The foolish people will be gone.
Only the people who take shelter with Neo Baron will be saved.
Did you think I'd join after hearing that?
I see.
In that case, we can't let you leave!
This is what you get!
Stop right there!
How cowardly, pitting so many men against one.
Charmant guy...
Leave this to me.
Hold on to this for a second.
Let's run!
Stop right there!

So they're connected to that organization?
Hey, where are you going?!
I can't just ignore them.
We can't do anything!
And the enemy has belts...
Take this.
What's this?
It's an Energy Lockseed, but it won't work without a Genesis Driver.
What about Kumon Kaito's Genesis Driver?
That... no longer works.
But...
This'll be enough.
Peko...
I wanted to be like Kaito in my own way...
Did that wake you up?
I... couldn't forgive them for using the Baron name for evil!
But... I couldn't get away from Shura.
I'm sorry!
I shouldn't have burdened you with caring for Baron.
Please don't say that!
I couldn't forgive my own weakness.
Hey, listen to me.
Things didn't work out for me in New York.
I went to many auditions, but still...
Does it still hurt?
I should be over it, but...
This is where it hurts most.
But that's just an excuse.
I blamed my lack of skill on my bad leg instead of admitting my weakness.
I'm the same as you, Peko.
Not everyone can be as strong as Kaito.
Do you remember, the day we decided on the name Team Baron?
Hey, come on now!
Enough of your lame dancing!
Quit it! Quit it!
Gaim, make way for our teams.
No way! We were dancing here first!
Hey, Hase. Maybe we should work together from time to time.
Out of the way!
From this day forward, we'll be using that stage.
Hey, who are you guys?
Who do you think you are?!
Hase!
Who are you?! I've never seen you before.
My name is Kumon Kaito.
I'm Team Baron's leader.
What the heck?! Don't just name us yourself!
What's it mean?
"To live proudly like nobles."
But as nobles, we are on the bottom.
We're the lowest.
But from there...
We will take the world!
We are weak.
But... it's because we're weak that we can become stronger.
Up till now and in the future too.
I have no intention of forgiving those who've dirtied the name Baron.
I will crush... Neo Baron.
Yeah.
Zack.
If you want the woman back, then come alone.
Let's settle this.
That coward.
Peko... I need you to do something for me.
Azami.
When I didn't know what I was doing...
You gave me the dream of dancing.
Left. Then extend from your right to your left.
That's it!
That's why...
I swear to save you!
Zack!
Let Azami go.
I would have let her go either way.
She was just bait to lure you out.
You okay?
Zack...
I'm sorry.
Please... don't do anything reckless.
Don't worry.
Alright, go on now.
I'm not going to lose!
What's wrong, Zack? Is that the limit to your strength?
Why are you so obsessed about things like strength?!
Strength is everything! If I had been strong back then...
I wouldn't have been driven out of the team!
No way!

I assumed I'd stand by his side one day
