1. Good morning.Copy !req
2. Hello. Good morning.Copy !req
3. Where are Shotaro and the chief?Copy !req
4. He didn't get in touch with you?Copy !req
5. Aren't you his assistant now?Copy !req
6. I still don't have a way
for him to get in touch with me.Copy !req
7. A reasonable explanation.Copy !req
8. Hey, are you mad
about me being here, Philip?Copy !req
9. Not at all.Copy !req
10. I'm unabashedly fascinated
with your missing memories.Copy !req
11. It's an intriguing prospect!Copy !req
12. Oh, no. The way I phrased that...Copy !req
13. How many times do I gotta tell you?Copy !req
14. You can't always sound like you're a mad
scientist looming over a lab specimen!Copy !req
15. What I meant is—Copy !req
16. So, I'm a lab rat to you? Is that it?Copy !req
17. I'm too late.Copy !req
18. A death threat?Copy !req
19. Right...Copy !req
20. It came in yesterday.Copy !req
21. Which is why I'd like to hire
the Narumi Detective Agency as security.Copy !req
22. A threatening letter...Copy !req
23. Who are they threatening?Copy !req
24. Are the two of you familiar
with Megu Kazamatsuri, from our company?Copy !req
25. Oh, of course!Copy !req
26. I play the mobile version
of your game on my phone.Copy !req
27. I'm not much of a gamer,
but I recognize her.Copy !req
28. She's like your poster girl, right?Copy !req
29. I hear she's a big deal...Copy !req
30. Moriguchi, this is an important discussion.Copy !req
31. Work can wait.Copy !req
32. You sure about that, Maji-P?Copy !req
33. 'Cuz if I don't crunch now, the mobile
update that's due next week is gonna be late!Copy !req
34. I realize that!Copy !req
35. What's a "Maji-P"?Copy !req
36. Probably because he's the producer,
and his name is Majima.Copy !req
37. I'm always so damn busy...Copy !req
38. Man, she's a textbook case.Copy !req
39. I can't get caught up with anything!Copy !req
40. Just look at the state she's in.Copy !req
41. Does anyone besides me
even care about deadlines?Copy !req
42. Making video games must be pretty rough.Copy !req
43. Pardon us.Copy !req
44. This is Monster El Dorado,
popularly known as "Monrado."Copy !req
45. Due to our company being located in Fuuto,Copy !req
46. the game itself is set in the city.Copy !req
47. Wow, in Fuuto, huh?Copy !req
48. You slay monsters from the demon world
that appear in different parts of town,Copy !req
49. obtain their abilities, and use them
to customize your characterCopy !req
50. before taking them into battles
with other players.Copy !req
51. Demon Halo Slash!Copy !req
52. That's Monrado in a nutshell.Copy !req
53. You win!Copy !req
54. I'm proud to say it's our
company's biggest hit title,Copy !req
55. with this being its third year of service.Copy !req
56. Megu Kazamatsuri
was originally just a cosplayer,Copy !req
57. but between the striking look of
her character, and her skill at the game,Copy !req
58. it's gotten to the point where she's hosting
events and singing songs for the project.Copy !req
59. She's grown into a incredibly popular idol.Copy !req
60. Unfortunately, it has also led
to these death threats.Copy !req
61. Then the person who's in danger is...Copy !req
62. Megu Kazamatsuri?Copy !req
63. This is the letter we received.Copy !req
64. Pardon me...Copy !req
65. "To Max Soft."Copy !req
66. "During the third anniversary event,"Copy !req
67. "Megu Kazamatsuri will be
executed for her crimes."Copy !req
68. "Security can't protect you.
Not from my magic box of tricks."Copy !req
69. "From m," huh?Copy !req
70. A magic box of tricks...Copy !req
71. Sure sounds like a Gaia Memory.Copy !req
72. Which led you to us?Copy !req
73. Right.Copy !req
74. I've heard the rumors about
the Narumi Detective Agency.Copy !req
75. Will you accept the case?Copy !req
76. Of course.Copy !req
77. Our lovely, local gaming idol is in danger.Copy !req
78. What kind of man would ignore her peril?Copy !req
79. Pretentious jerk.Copy !req
80. Come on, miss, that's harsh!Copy !req
81. Although, I get where you're coming from.Copy !req
82. Your job looks like a real handful.Copy !req
83. Of course you're annoyed by
the presence of a glamorous gal!Copy !req
84. I get it!Copy !req
85. So, where's Megu Kazamatsuri right now?Copy !req
86. I'm trusting you to maintain
confidentiality on this,Copy !req
87. before revealing a secret that we
would rather keep from the public.Copy !req
88. That's actually the reason I'm turning
to you instead of the police!Copy !req
89. What's the secret?Copy !req
90. Team Megu! Come on!Copy !req
91. It's them!Copy !req
92. Come on! Time for another makeover!Copy !req
93. Aw, crap!Copy !req
94. Ms. Koizumi, I'm begging you—Copy !req
95. There. Your transformation
is complete, Megu.Copy !req
96. Right.Copy !req
97. Monako Moriguchi, the main programmer
of Monrado, is actually Megu Kazamatsuri!Copy !req
98. They got me again!Copy !req
99. Y-You mean the gal who looks like she's never
touched makeup t-turned into that beauty?Copy !req
100. Wait, then Monako has been
making the actual game,Copy !req
101. and also doing PR for it, as an idol?Copy !req
102. I-I didn't wanna! It's just...Copy !req
103. I thought it'd help make
the game a bigger deal,Copy !req
104. and I got so popular...
they won't let me quit.Copy !req
105. Moriguchi! I keep telling you
to pay attention to your language!Copy !req
106. Megu is a princess from the demon realm!Copy !req
107. Monster! You're a literal monster, Maji-P!Copy !req
108. Monako...Copy !req
109. Cheer up, Monako!Copy !req
110. You can do this! Okay?Copy !req
111. I mean, look how pretty you are!Copy !req
112. She's right! You can't let it go to waste!Copy !req
113. Everyone is waiting for you,
Monako... and Megu.Copy !req
114. Do it! You've gotta do it, Moriguchi!Copy !req
115. No, no, no way!Copy !req
116. I'm sick of being an idol!Copy !req
117. That was a shock!Copy !req
118. A girl like that is a big-time idol...Copy !req
119. I was wondering why they
didn't go to the cops,Copy !req
120. but I get the need for secrecy, now.Copy !req
121. Is it me, or does this company seem shady?Copy !req
122. She's the lead developer for Monrado
and has to be an idol on top of that?Copy !req
123. No one could blame her for not wanting to.Copy !req
124. They probably can't let her quit.Copy !req
125. They need her to keep making the game,
and keep being Megu Kazamatsuri.Copy !req
126. Yeah, Maji-P seemed to be on edge, too.Copy !req
127. Either way, I wouldn't feel
right leaving her hanging.Copy !req
128. Monako's going to be a surprise guest
at an event scheduled for 5:00 PM...Copy !req
129. I'll go ahead and stake out the venue.Copy !req
130. Okay.Copy !req
131. I'm gonna head back to the office
and check in with Philip.Copy !req
132. What's this about?Copy !req
133. If you have something to say, just say it.Copy !req
134. I'm not speaking because
there's nothing to say.Copy !req
135. What the hell are you two fighting over?Copy !req
136. This isn't a fight. It's an argument.Copy !req
137. Good point. I haven't
laid a finger on him. Yet.Copy !req
138. That's still called fighting, y'know!Copy !req
139. So there you have it.Copy !req
140. I'm on bodyguard duty for Megu Kazamatsuri
until the anniversary event's over.Copy !req
141. You listening, partner?Copy !req
142. Of course I am.Copy !req
143. Look, try and take it easy.Copy !req
144. I'll talk to Tokime, too.Copy !req
145. She doesn't know who she is.Copy !req
146. You can see how that'd
make her prickly, right?Copy !req
147. Just try and cut her some slack.Copy !req
148. I understand. I was
in the same position once.Copy !req
149. But she has a lack of tact,
and a dearth of empathy...Copy !req
150. In addition to a perennially
overbearing personality.Copy !req
151. There's a disconnect in our
attempts to communicate.Copy !req
152. It's that simple.Copy !req
153. That's lot of complaints
for something "that simple."Copy !req
154. Well, I'll head to the scene with Tokime.Copy !req
155. I'm counting on you if things get dicey.Copy !req
156. You could stand to chill out some, too.Copy !req
157. The two of you will be
getting along in no time.Copy !req
158. I'm not so sure!Copy !req
159. I have a hard time imagining
we'll ever be on the same page!Copy !req
160. He's mean, he doesn't care about how I feel...Copy !req
161. On top of being kind of stuck up!Copy !req
162. They've practically got the same complaints!Copy !req
163. Is this a "like hates like" deal?Copy !req
164. And by the way!Copy !req
165. If you had let me know what was going on,Copy !req
166. we wouldn't have had
an argument in the first place!Copy !req
167. Wait, me? It's my fault?Copy !req
168. The whole place is full again!Copy !req
169. Maji-P! Maji-P!Copy !req
170. Maji-P, where are you? It's starting soon!Copy !req
171. Maji-P! Get back here soon, please!Copy !req
172. And so it begins...Copy !req
173. The festival of doom!Copy !req
174. Damn it, Maji-P.Copy !req
175. Hang in there, Monako.Copy !req
176. Not interested.Copy !req
177. I'm supposed to be sinking as much
time as possible into game dev.Copy !req
178. Why do I have to be dealing
with death threats?Copy !req
179. Well, you don't need to sweat that part.Copy !req
180. I might not look reliable,
but I've got a knack for protecting people.Copy !req
181. If they'd just let me quit
this Megu Kazamatsuri gig,Copy !req
182. that'd solve the whole thing!Copy !req
183. You're up, Megu.Copy !req
184. I seriously can't do this!Copy !req
185. And wh-where the heck is Maji-P?Copy !req
186. Come on, don't say that.Copy !req
187. The crowd is out there waiting for you.Copy !req
188. Megu!Copy !req
189. Wow...Copy !req
190. Megu?Copy !req
191. What?Copy !req
192. Here we go, here we go!Copy !req
193. Welcome to the Monster El
Dorado 3rd Anniversary Festival!Copy !req
194. First, take a look at this!Copy !req
195. Magic unleashed!Copy !req
196. Demon Halo Slash!Copy !req
197. I'm heading your way now!Copy !req
198. We've got a big surprise for you all today!Copy !req
199. She jumped out of the screen!Copy !req
200. Monrado's own super idol, Megu Kazamatsuri!Copy !req
201. Good evening, everybody!Copy !req
202. It's Megu!Copy !req
203. Asleep in the hearts of everyone you knowCopy !req
204. Is the yearning to become someone elseCopy !req
205. And in this town those feelings will awakenCopy !req
206. Once the wind blows away all doubtsCopy !req
207. Megu!Copy !req
208. Ambivalence, the fear and curiosityCopy !req
209. Might seem like opposites,
leaving you confusedCopy !req
210. She's on a roll. And acting like
a completely different person.Copy !req
211. But I'm innocent, with pristine feelingsCopy !req
212. And if it was all for your sake...Copy !req
213. The glittering world of Fuuto El Dorado,Copy !req
214. is one I'm ready to defend,Copy !req
215. so let the battle begin!Copy !req
216. I got ya! With an emerald
for every ounce of passion!Copy !req
217. And we'll forge a legend together!Copy !req
218. What's wrong, Tokime?Copy !req
219. I hear something... awful.Copy !req
220. The road goes on and on,Copy !req
221. and I'll follow it until the dream comes—Copy !req
222. A Dopant!Copy !req
223. The time's come for your execution...Copy !req
224. Megu Kazamatsuri!Copy !req
225. That's not a Monrado character.Copy !req
226. A m-monster...Copy !req
227. Everyone! Run for it!Copy !req
228. Knock it off!Copy !req
229. Butt out!Copy !req
230. Monako!Copy !req
231. Time to find out how tough you areCopy !req
232. when it's not just a game!Copy !req
233. My fun's just beginning,Copy !req
234. but I've gotta deal with this chick first!Copy !req
235. Tokime, take the memory
out of my breast pocket!Copy !req
236. Are you going to transform?Copy !req
237. With me?Copy !req
238. No, stupid!Copy !req
239. I can't turn into W
with anyone but Philip!Copy !req
240. Just take the Stag out of my pocket!Copy !req
241. This?Copy !req
242. That's it!Copy !req
243. Now load the Pseudo Memory!Copy !req
244. Stag.Copy !req
245. I carry around that bulky flip phone
for moments just like this!Copy !req
246. It turned into a stag beetle.Copy !req
247. Is this like the other ones, at the office?Copy !req
248. They're called Memory Gadgets.Copy !req
249. Ow, ow, ow...Copy !req
250. Say your prayers, Megu Kazamatsuri.Copy !req
251. And get ready to suck my sword!Copy !req
252. Die!Copy !req
253. Tokime, look after her.Copy !req
254. Got it.Copy !req
255. I told you to knock it off earlier, too.Copy !req
256. Make it a third time and we
do things the hard way, pal.Copy !req
257. You...Copy !req
258. I should've killed you already!Copy !req
259. Guess you prefer the hard way.Copy !req
260. It's time, then.Copy !req
261. Let's go, Philip!Copy !req
262. Right.Copy !req
263. Cyclone! Joker!Copy !req
264. Transform!Copy !req
265. You're one of those Kamen Rider guys?Copy !req
266. You bet I am.Copy !req
267. Based on his appearance, we can be almost
certain he's using the Meganeura Memory.Copy !req
268. A mega what now?Copy !req
269. What do you mean?Copy !req
270. Meganeura,Copy !req
271. a giant dragonfly that could
reach lengths of 70 centimeters,Copy !req
272. from the Paleozoic Age, 300 million years ago.Copy !req
273. I'd advise against close combat!Copy !req
274. Sounds about right.Copy !req
275. Trigger!Copy !req
276. Cyclone! Trigger!Copy !req
277. Kamen Rider W...Copy !req
278. On the right side, the wind-powered Cyclone,Copy !req
279. the blazing Heat, and the enigmatic Luna...Copy !req
280. On the left, the hand-to-hand focused Joker,Copy !req
281. the strong and durable Metal,Copy !req
282. and the sharp-shooting Trigger options.Copy !req
283. By combining different pairs of powers,
nine possible combat forms are available,Copy !req
284. in addition to various
rumored secret weapons.Copy !req
285. I would love to see them all...Copy !req
286. But will the little dragonfly
be able to last that long?Copy !req
287. He's slippery, I'll give him that.Copy !req
288. Let's end it with a Maximum!Copy !req
289. Right!Copy !req
290. Trigger Maximum Drive!Copy !req
291. Trigger Storm Bomb!Copy !req
292. Monako! Are you okay?Copy !req
293. What was that? I didn't hear about this!Copy !req
294. You okay?Copy !req
295. His Memory still isn't broken?Copy !req
296. Akiko, Tokime, get Monako to safety!Copy !req
297. Got it!Copy !req
298. Screw you...Copy !req
299. All these scrubs, getting in
the way of my godlike playing...Copy !req
300. You've all gotta pay!Copy !req
301. W-What in the...Copy !req
302. This weight... on our body...Copy !req
303. Chief!Copy !req
304. I suddenly feel too heavy to move...Copy !req
305. Tokime, get Monako clear!Copy !req
306. It's affecting Aki, too?Copy !req
307. What the hell is going on?Copy !req
308. Die!Copy !req
309. Maybe this dragonfly isn't a typical Dopant.Copy !req
310. Could he be...Copy !req
311. A High Dope?Copy !req
312. Stupid bug!Copy !req
313. Metal!Copy !req
314. Cyclone! Metal!Copy !req
315. Something weird is going on, Philip!Copy !req
316. We're sluggish, but he's fine!Copy !req
317. It's strange.Copy !req
318. The Meganeura Memory shouldn't
confer this kind of power.Copy !req
319. Tokime?Copy !req
320. Tokime!Copy !req
321. What is this?Copy !req
322. It was so awful before...Copy !req
323. Now the sound... is pulling me toward it...Copy !req
324. Tokime! What's going on?Copy !req
325. Here's my chance!Copy !req
326. Tokime!Copy !req
327. Got you!Copy !req
328. Slow as you were...Copy !req
329. You still had to ruin my—Copy !req
330. If you can't be fast,
you can at least be prepared.Copy !req
331. Metal Maximum Drive!Copy !req
332. You—Copy !req
333. I figured you'd slow down for a bit
if you managed to nail me.Copy !req
334. Metal Stag Breaker!Copy !req
335. The weight's all gone!Copy !req
336. He got away.Copy !req
337. In my search for you,
I've found something else entirely.Copy !req
338. Tokime.Copy !req
339. I would've never expected you
to be with a Kamen Rider.Copy !req
340. How odd fate can be.Copy !req
341. I can spare more time
for your quest of self-discovery.Copy !req
342. Thank goodness. She doesn't look hurt.Copy !req
343. Tokime, are you okay?Copy !req
344. What was I...Copy !req
345. Tokime, why did you do that?Copy !req
346. Megu Kazamatsuri was nearly killed.Copy !req
347. I don't know!Copy !req
348. I'm not sure myself...Copy !req
349. This isn't a matter you can just—Copy !req
350. Easy there.Copy !req
351. Don't go picking fights
with my body, Philip.Copy !req
352. Understood.Copy !req
353. Shotaro, aren't you being too soft with her?Copy !req
354. Partner...Copy !req
355. We can be sure the culprit's
got a personal grudge here.Copy !req
356. There was serious hate in the way
he talked to Megu Kazamatsuri.Copy !req
357. You need to figure out who he is.Copy !req
358. I fully intend to, but...Copy !req
359. Akiko.Copy !req
360. An attack means the cops
are gonna be involved.Copy !req
361. Ask Terui to guard her.Copy !req
362. Okay. Sure.Copy !req
363. But... what's up?Copy !req
364. I wouldn't expect you
to suggest something like that.Copy !req
365. I'm not gonna rake you over the coals.Copy !req
366. Stuff happens sometimes
that we can't explain.Copy !req
367. Shotaro...Copy !req
368. I just want you to remember this:Copy !req
369. A detective who exposes their client
to danger is worthless.Copy !req
370. Pops used to chew me out
about that all the time.Copy !req
371. So, I'm counting on you.Copy !req
372. With the case... and keeping her safe.Copy !req
373. You're gonna... be my...Copy !req
374. assistant... right?Copy !req
375. Shotaro!Copy !req
376. Since I had the W Driver on at the time,Copy !req
377. I could feel how shocked, sad,
and furious my partner was.Copy !req
378. Yes. I think because I saw that coming...Copy !req
379. I managed to hold out long enough to have
a word with everyone before collapsing.Copy !req
380. My instincts are pretty good.Copy !req
381. I could tell something
dangerous was going on.Copy !req
382. With the bad guy...
and among the good guys, too.Copy !req
383. Say, Shotaro.Copy !req
384. What's up, partner?Copy !req
385. It seems our souls have swapped bodies.Copy !req
386. Sure seems like it.Copy !req
387. Here's hoping we don't run
into a Dopant like this.Copy !req
388. Speak of the devil.Copy !req
389. Yeah, sure enough.Copy !req
390. No other way! Better transform!Copy !req
391. Transform!Copy !req
392. Huh?Copy !req
393. Oh, right!Copy !req
394. We're facing backward
because of how we usually do this!Copy !req
395. This is less of a W, and more of an X...Copy !req
396. Set Up! Set Up!Copy !req
397. Set Up!Copy !req
