START YOUR ENGINE!
The rain stops, there's a break in the clouds
The blue sky's calling out to you
Alright, it's almost time to head out
I don't need anyone else's advice
I've gotta trust my own instincts
It's high time I found my own way
Fire Up, Ignition
The heavy pressure's on
Slam the accelerator and power through
Surprise, the whole world's got drive! (It's faster than ever)
Feeling high like you're finally awake (Show me your Drivin')
Once you're on the road to destiny (Keep chasin' forever)
There's no way to go in reverse...
All we need is Drive!
Hear me out, please...
I need to know the truth about this case.
Episode 42 What is the truth about the goddess?
The woman you copied, Hatori Misuzu. You took her to the hospital
and now several of the women there are comatose.
At first we thought...
She's probably another subject for some messed up experiment.
But now I'm wondering if that was an accident, something you didn't anticipate.
Why would you think that?
Earlier...
Are you really her beloved?!
Then why isn't she waking up?!
You brought that girl to the hospital hoping that she would wake up.
You had no intention of hurting anyone when you did that.
But how is Misuzu waking up correlated to Medic's Ultimate Evolution?
Right after the Global Freeze...
Before I had a human form...
Don't die!
I synchronized with this powerful sentiment, even as it was fading...
And it was in that moment when I learned the contents of her heart.
Her intense desire to help the one she loved, greater than her concern for her own life.
I was confused, but I was compelled to know more about this feeling...
So I treated her wounds.
I saved her life using a power derived from pure, unconditional love.
Afterwards, I repaired countless damaged Roidmudes.
But the power had an adverse effect... I absorbed the emotions of those I healed.
The more of them I healed, the more emotions I drew into my own being.
Emotions they learned from humans.
Dark emotions like resentment, envy, and hatred...
And the result was a twisted demon who slaughters her own kind with no remorse.
I fear that it may be gone forever...
That precious emotion which granted me this power.
No, it isn't.
You realize that, don't you?
The Roidmudes are capable of caring for others.
That's why you're trying to wake Misuzu up.
You think that you'll be able to restore yourself once she's awake again.
But she didn't wake up...
And the key to that...
I miss you so much...
Shou!
I'll find out who Shou is.
Shinnosuke, what are you saying?!
You would help her achieve Ultimate Evolution?!
It's not just for her.
It's to save Misuzu, and the other victims at the hospital.
No...
I am afraid that will not be necessary.
Impossible, you're—?!
Correct... Professor Banno.
You've taken a Roidmude body?!
Indeed, Krim. Now bear witness...
Transform.
Gaze upon the form by which my Ultimate Evolution takes.
A golden Drive...
You will refer to me as Gold Drive from this point on.
FIRE ALL ENGINES!
SIGNAL BIKE!
Transform!
DRIVE TYPE: TRIDORON!
RIDER! CHASER!
Alright, let's finish this, Shinnosuke!
Got it!
What?!
What is this power?!
GUN
Now then, come along.
I do not trust you!
Medic, Professor Banno is an ally in our pursuits.
He's here to help.
Restoring your root emotion, as well as amplifying it...
These acts are mere child's play for me.
I vow to guide you along the path to Ultimate Evolution.
Medic, is this really what you want?!
We'll call this a test drive.
Until next time.
Banno didn't even try to lie about it...
How little he cared...
Forget not being a father to us...
He's not even a human being.
I suppose we will have to defeat him, once and for all...
As painful as it may be, it must be done.
I'm more than ready.
Hatori Misuzu was dedicated to ballet, and she had a natural talent for it.
She was a rising star, we all had high hopes for her. But then...
A rising star...
Her boyfriend said the same thing.
Boyfriend? You mean Igarashi Kazuya?
Yes, weren't they dating?
She loved ballet from the bottom of her heart.
He didn't take it seriously, and she resented him for it.
Please excuse me.
Tomari here.
I've got it all.
Every article of Igarashi Kazuya's dirty laundry, a whole hamper full...
He's in quite a bit of debt.
A grand total of ten million yen!
Ten million?!
And now for the most shocking part...
There were signs that he was embezzling funds from the ballet company about a year ago.
Right around the time Hatori Misuzu went missing.
Oh, no...
I've been on pins and needles this past year.
Do you know why?
Because that damn dog of yours came back in one piece.
But now, I can finally rest easy again.
Because this time you won't survive the accident.
Not another move, Igarashi!
You've been playing the part of her boyfriend, waiting for this moment.
Whatever do you mean, officers? I was just taking her for a walk—
Don't bother playing dumb.
We've got proof of your embezzlement right here.
You wanted to kill her the last time you brought her here...
That's right!
Do you know why?! She kept saying that she was going to expose me!
So that night...
But strangely enough, the hit and run wasn't reported the next day.
Not only that, but Hatori Misuzu went missing. It was like the accident never even happened!
I couldn't believe how lucky I was!
But then...
Igarashi Kazuya, you're under arrest for attempted murder.
Come on.
Kiriko, I need to take care of something.
Brain...
Where is Medic?
Well, you see...
Please forgive me!
Well now, I see you're finally awake.
It seems that your emotions were clouded by an unsightly lust.
And just as promised, I have done away with that impurity.
All that remains is the emotion you originally synchronized with...
Unconditional love...
Let those feelings for Heart be your guide, and you will reach your Ultimate Evolution.
For Mr. Heart...
What exactly should I do...?
Oh, it's quite simple.
I see...
I am a foolish, cowardly, weakling unworthy of being among the Promised Number!
I beg of you, Heart!
I will accept any punishment that you see fit!
I understand.
Since you offered, I will wipe you from existence.
You're about to see a visitor that you've been waiting for, Misuzu.
A visitor?
And whom might that be?
Medic? But she's dressed in white...
Professor Banno is guiding me to my Ultimate Evolution.
In other words, this woman has outlived her purpose.
Whatever, I guess her new wardrobe hasn't changed her crappy attitude.
Let's...
Transform!
RIDER! DEAD HEAT!
RIDER! CHASER!
Very well, then.
Now I can destroy both of you at once.
Get to safety, Kiriko!
This is strange...
The stains on my soul are gone, and I am fighting for Mr. Heart...
But there are still no signs of Ultimate Evolution...
Why?!
Mr. Heart...
I must look so foolish right now... He can't see me like this!
Shou...
You're alive...
Shou, I missed you so much...
Shou is a dog...?
That's right, and she loves him with all of her heart.
Shou's been waiting, too.
She's been waiting for the moment they'd be reunited.
I see...
That explains why Medic suddenly brought that dog back with her.
Please don't die, Shou!
Shou!
How could a body on the verge of death project such strength...?
Moments of joy.
A pure heart.
Unconditional love...
I remember...
The important feelings that I had long since forgotten...
The emotion that I synchronized with was dedication, born from this dog's love for the one who guides her...
That is what my love for Mr. Heart is like.
I can feel it...
I've finally achieved it...
My Ultimate Evolution!
- NICE WORK! - NICE WORK!
Medic, you found your Ultimate Evolution.
Medic...?
What's the matter?
I made a few modifications.
Once Medic achieved her Ultimate Evolution...
...her mind would be erased, and she would become my puppet.
I did it all for Mr. Heart...
Banno, you wretched bastard!
Medic.
Stop this, Medic! Come to your senses!
I did it all for Mr. Heart...
Medic!
Tomari!
That's right, Medic! Slaughter the Kamen Riders!
Heart?!
Medic...
Stop this.
This isn't the fight that I asked for, is it?
Heart!
I suppose we shall withdraw, for now.
Banno!
Thank you so much.
I'm just happy to see you smile again.
Now you can get back your ballet career.
I will!
Tomari, when did you figure out that Shou was her pet, not a romantic partner?
When we were talking to the ballet company, I started to remember a few things that we overlooked.
All of the women who collapsed love dogs...
Beware of dog
That's the emotion they synchronized with.
Like Rinna.
I've been thinking of getting a dog like this, Doc.
What should I feed him, though...?
It's gotta be miso soup, right?
No, you goofball. Dog food!
And he needs plenty of love!
Then... it must be true....
Heart, I am an Ultimate Evolution as well.
I did it all for Mr. Heart...
And along with Medic, that makes four.
We now have the Promised Number.
I did it all for Mr. Heart...
Thus, I have a proposal.
I will be your new leader, and we will bring forth a new Global Freeze—
Actually, we're missing one.
I did it all for Mr. Heart...
There are only three of us here, right now.
I want you to disappear... that way, we can prevent Banno from consolidating power.
Why...?
Why am I feeling pity for Medic, of all people...?
What did you want to talk about?
The truth is...
Boyfriends and girlfriends. What is romantic love?
No way...
Kamen Rider Drive!
It appears that I love Kiriko...
Chase's shocking confession!
Krim's deadly secret!
Mr. Belt...?!
Krim's deadly secret!
Yesss...
Krim's deadly secret!
Brain's embattled escape!
I can not be caught now!
Brain's embattled escape!
I can not be caught now!
Episode 43 When will the Second Global Freeze take place?
Run, Brain! Go!
