1. Catch the wind! And use your mask!
Copy !req
2. "Terminate all traitors."
Copy !req
3. That is my task.
Copy !req
4. But the Organization ordered me
to capture you alive.
Copy !req
5. As such, I'll simply make sure
you never escape again.
Copy !req
6. Allow me to begin.
Copy !req
7. Grasshopper-Aug. He completed you?
Copy !req
8. SHIN MASKED RIDER
Copy !req
9. I hear wind.
Copy !req
10. Why do I hear wind blowing inside me?
Copy !req
11. Did I kill them?
Copy !req
12. No.
Copy !req
13. My body moved by itself.
Copy !req
14. I don't get it.
Copy !req
15. I killed them.
Copy !req
16. How could I do that?
Copy !req
17. What is this?
Copy !req
18. I came to free you.
Follow me if you want to escape.
Copy !req
19. What is this? What happened to my body?
Copy !req
20. You broke me out. You must know something.
Copy !req
21. Please tell me!
Copy !req
22. Why?
Copy !req
23. Why am I so strong?
Copy !req
24. I'll answer your questions, young Hongo.
Copy !req
25. Professor Midorikawa?
Copy !req
26. The Organization has been developing
synthetic insect-hybrid augmentation.
Copy !req
27. You are the project's masterpiece.
Copy !req
28. You can revert to human form at any time.
Copy !req
29. Simply expel the excess prana
from your Energy Converter.
Copy !req
30. Professor,
Copy !req
31. how do you know all this?
Copy !req
32. Because I chose you to be our comrade.
Copy !req
33. It was my scientific research group that
upgraded your body into its new form.
Copy !req
34. You did this?
Copy !req
35. You're the only one I could trust
with the future of prana.
Copy !req
36. It had to be you.
Copy !req
37. Prana is an omnipresent source of energy
that sustains all life.
Copy !req
38. Your body now uses condensed prana
to wield super-human powers.
Copy !req
39. Your body has been equipped with
a Prana Absorption-Amplification System.
Copy !req
40. Your protective gear has a Converter Lung.
Copy !req
41. It's integrated with your Belt and Mask.
Copy !req
42. You gave me such power…
Copy !req
43. - Why?
- Because you wanted it.
Copy !req
44. Superior strength.
Copy !req
45. I wanted it?
Copy !req
46. I know what happened to you in college.
I know your despair.
Copy !req
47. You've pursued greater strength
ever since that day.
Copy !req
48. You wanted the power to protect.
Copy !req
49. And now that power is yours.
Copy !req
50. But Professor,
Copy !req
51. I punched people to death.
This power is monstrous.
Copy !req
52. I can't—
Copy !req
53. All of the Organization's Augs
possess the same power.
Copy !req
54. But they use it for
their own gratification.
Copy !req
55. Please use yours for the people.
Copy !req
56. Use your power to protect
the countless weak.
Copy !req
57. We must destroy the Organization.
Copy !req
58. Please help us with our mission.
Copy !req
59. Forgive me for not introducing
my daughter sooner.
Copy !req
60. I'm Midorikawa Ruriko.
Copy !req
61. Um, I'm—
Copy !req
62. Hongo Takeshi.
Straight-A student. All-round athlete.
Copy !req
63. But you're a glum-chum.
Copy !req
64. That's why you're unemployed.
Motorcycles are your only hobby.
Copy !req
65. I don't trust people.
Copy !req
66. But I'll put some faith in your abilities.
Copy !req
67. I'll let you tag along,
but you'll have to dress better.
Copy !req
68. This is an essential for
motorcycle riders.
Copy !req
69. And,
Copy !req
70. heroes always wear red, right?
Copy !req
71. Or something like that.
Copy !req
72. This your motorcycle Cyclone.
It's part of your Grasshopper-Aug System.
Copy !req
73. We tailored it to you.
Copy !req
74. All this to fight the Organization?
Copy !req
75. Is that spider mask guy an "Aug" too?
Copy !req
76. He is.
Copy !req
77. Spider-Aug.
Copy !req
78. One of the other groups made him.
He's an Evil-Infused Augmentation.
Copy !req
79. Damn! Flee!
Copy !req
80. Hello.
Copy !req
81. - Professor!
- Don't worry about me!
Copy !req
82. Spider-Aug,
Copy !req
83. I've already done my part.
Copy !req
84. Go ahead. Kill me.
Copy !req
85. Rest assured.
Copy !req
86. I shall fulfill your wish, as only I can.
Copy !req
87. "Terminate all traitors."
Copy !req
88. That is my task.
Copy !req
89. I do like the way this feels.
Copy !req
90. I take the life of my prey
with my own hands.
Copy !req
91. That's my idea of good manners.
Copy !req
92. So now, Midorikawa Hiroshi,
Copy !req
93. please die.
Copy !req
94. Become a part of my happiness.
Copy !req
95. Professor!
Copy !req
96. Hongo…
Copy !req
97. Look after Ruriko.
Copy !req
98. Thank you for granting me happiness.
Copy !req
99. I wish you eternal happiness too.
Copy !req
100. You may have betrayed us,
but you're also a dear fellow Aug.
Copy !req
101. I'll leave you for now.
Copy !req
102. This girl's a traitor too,
but my orders are to bring her back alive.
Copy !req
103. And it was foolish of you
to return to human form.
Copy !req
104. Now that you've expelled your energy,
you cannot break my web.
Copy !req
105. Farewell.
Copy !req
106. You really are Midorikawa's masterpiece.
Copy !req
107. You're less damaged than I expected,
Grasshopper-Aug.
Copy !req
108. That's not my name. It's…
Copy !req
109. Rider.
Copy !req
110. Call me Masked Rider.
Copy !req
111. Spare me your rambling, traitor.
Copy !req
112. It saddens me to kill a fellow Aug,
Copy !req
113. but locusts have been
a bad omen throughout history.
Copy !req
114. You leave me no choice.
Copy !req
115. I'll eradicate you now.
Copy !req
116. "Terminate all nuisances."
Copy !req
117. That is my task.
Copy !req
118. I hate humans.
Copy !req
119. On behalf of all Augs who shun humanity,
I shall kill mankind myself.
Copy !req
120. That's my idea of happiness.
Copy !req
121. I like it.
Copy !req
122. You have great close-range combat skills.
Copy !req
123. But if you keep missing me,
I have nothing to fear.
Copy !req
124. The way you slaughtered my combatants
was most impressive.
Copy !req
125. Now that you've killed a human,
you too know the happiness it brings.
Copy !req
126. No! It doesn't make me happy at all!
Copy !req
127. I like it. Such destructive power.
Copy !req
128. You're no longer human,
but we still can't see eye-to-eye.
Copy !req
129. What a shame.
Copy !req
130. Look at us.
Copy !req
131. We are overwhelmingly lethal.
Copy !req
132. Not being human is such bliss!
Copy !req
133. We're both Augs.
Copy !req
134. So why? Why don't you share my happiness?
Copy !req
135. Now, please die.
Copy !req
136. Become a part of my happiness.
Copy !req
137. Oh darn.
Copy !req
138. In the air, I'm at a great disadvantage!
Copy !req
139. Put me down. I can walk.
Copy !req
140. To prevent sensitive info from leaking,
all agents melt when they die.
Copy !req
141. That's how we'll end too.
Copy !req
142. The leftover energy in my body
is screaming.
Copy !req
143. I can't control how violent I am
when I wear this.
Copy !req
144. The mask contains a system
that boosts your survival instincts.
Copy !req
145. It makes you more aggressive and
erases your aversion to bloodshed.
Copy !req
146. You enter a state where you can kill
without mercy to stay alive.
Copy !req
147. What I did…
Copy !req
148. It pains me.
Copy !req
149. "Pain" and "happy" are almost identical
when you write them in kanji characters.
Copy !req
150. "Happiness" is just one stroke away
from "pain".
Copy !req
151. At least when you endure the pain,
you make somebody else happy.
Copy !req
152. That's what it takes to protect others.
Copy !req
153. He might be too kind.
Copy !req
154. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
155. Professor Midorikawa…
Copy !req
156. I failed to save him.
Copy !req
157. No apology needed.
Copy !req
158. You saved me. That was enough.
Copy !req
159. And it was Midorikawa who made you
half-grasshopper without even asking.
Copy !req
160. Forget about it.
Copy !req
161. It doesn't bother me.
Copy !req
162. He only made me to help him develop
a practical use for prana.
Copy !req
163. We had one thing in common. A bit of DNA.
Copy !req
164. Just like you,
I was merely one of his tools.
Copy !req
165. You didn't hear Professor Midorikawa's
last words.
Copy !req
166. He said, "Look after Ruriko."
Copy !req
167. I think he created this body of mine
out of his love for you.
Copy !req
168. That's a surprisingly positive take
on his ego.
Copy !req
169. You're so naive.
Copy !req
170. No wonder he chose you.
Copy !req
171. SHOCKER?
Copy !req
172. That's the name of the Organization.
Copy !req
173. As far as I know,
they have four more Augs.
Copy !req
174. It only gets tougher from here.
Copy !req
175. I see Spider-Aug's prana has disappeared.
Copy !req
176. Did Midorikawa's grasshopper defeat him?
Copy !req
177. Yes.
Copy !req
178. Is that flower a show of respect
for Spider-Aug?
Copy !req
179. Yes.
Copy !req
180. I made an attempt to behave
in the same manner as humans.
Copy !req
181. Midorikawa Hiroshi is dead too.
Copy !req
182. How is Ruriko doing?
Copy !req
183. I believe she intends to utilize
Grasshopper-Aug
Copy !req
184. to remove your power of authority,
Mr. Ichiro.
Copy !req
185. I see.
Copy !req
186. Even if she brings the grasshopper here,
I have another apparatus for violence.
Copy !req
187. You need not worry.
Copy !req
188. Fight violence with violence.
Copy !req
189. I appreciate the logic.
Copy !req
190. Whomever may be deleted,
it does not concern me.
Copy !req
191. As long as the data is preserved.
Copy !req
192. I like it when you get robotic, K.
Copy !req
193. I saw the data from your mask.
You waste way too much prana.
Copy !req
194. You must fight more efficiently.
Copy !req
195. Your entire biology now depends on prana.
Copy !req
196. If you use it all,
you'll lose your somatic code.
Copy !req
197. - So watch it.
- Got it.
Copy !req
198. But why am I half-hopper?
Copy !req
199. Insects and humans are the most evolved
species on this planet.
Copy !req
200. According to my father,
combining them forms the ideal organism.
Copy !req
201. Cautious hoppers and aggressive humans.
Makes a nice balance.
Copy !req
202. Or something like that.
Copy !req
203. You have a spare safe house?
Copy !req
204. I do.
Copy !req
205. I'm always fully prepared.
Copy !req
206. We can get ready here
without anybody knowing.
Copy !req
207. Who are you?
Copy !req
208. You don't look like cops.
Copy !req
209. So you're with Intelligence?
Copy !req
210. Or is it Security?
Copy !req
211. He's with Intelligence.
Copy !req
212. I'm just a government official
on janitor duty.
Copy !req
213. I clean up SHOCKER's mess.
Copy !req
214. And you want to clean us up too?
Copy !req
215. The opposite.
Copy !req
216. We want your help.
Copy !req
217. We need help eliminating their agents.
Copy !req
218. In return, we'll share our intel
and guarantee your security.
Copy !req
219. - If we decline?
- Use your imagination.
Copy !req
220. What is SHOCKER trying to do?
Copy !req
221. Word has it,
Copy !req
222. they're pursuing happiness
for all mankind.
Copy !req
223. Close enough.
Copy !req
224. SHOCKER was founded by
a Japanese billionaire.
Copy !req
225. It's currently lead by the most advanced
artificial intelligence in the world, I.
Copy !req
226. Happy third birthday,
Copy !req
227. I.
Copy !req
228. And it's a pleasure to meet you, J.
Copy !req
229. I created the autonomous AI system J
to monitor the outside world.
Copy !req
230. Are you the gentleman who created I?
Copy !req
231. I drafted the plan and provided the funds.
That's all.
Copy !req
232. The creator of I is
Copy !req
233. modern man's science.
Copy !req
234. I has been in a closed network
ever since J was activated.
Copy !req
235. All of I's information comes through J.
Copy !req
236. You can unify the world, I.
Copy !req
237. Once that happens, you can lead mankind
to the world beyond.
Copy !req
238. Your role, J,
is to observe humans in despair,
Copy !req
239. and identify
the type of happiness they seek.
Copy !req
240. How do people who have no hope
overcome despair and attain happiness?
Copy !req
241. I want to know.
Copy !req
242. Certainly. I shall report to I.
Copy !req
243. One year later, J was updated to K.
Copy !req
244. J's frame was switched off.
Copy !req
245. The founder gave I and K a final mission :
"Lead all of mankind to happiness."
Copy !req
246. Then he killed himself.
Copy !req
247. After running simulations,
I concluded their goal shouldn't be
Copy !req
248. "the greatest happiness for
the greatest number."
Copy !req
249. The plan was to create a method to save
humans experiencing the deepest despair.
Copy !req
250. This would provide mankind with
the ideal model for happiness.
Copy !req
251. Just as the founder wished.
Copy !req
252. In order to develop and deploy
the ideal model,
Copy !req
253. and save the world's most hopeless people
using mankind's most advanced technology,
Copy !req
254. K established an underground organization.
Copy !req
255. That's the secret society :
Copy !req
256. "Sustainable Happiness Organization
Copy !req
257. with Computational Knowledge
Embedded Remodeling."
Copy !req
258. A.K.A. "SHOCKER".
Copy !req
259. Okay. Now we'll share our information.
Copy !req
260. Considering it's mostly OSINT and SIGINT,
this data's not bad.
Copy !req
261. You're better than I thought.
Copy !req
262. After you destroy them,
what happens to us?
Copy !req
263. Still pending.
Copy !req
264. But I'll try to make sure
you won't be killed.
Copy !req
265. You're honest for an adult.
Copy !req
266. Okay. I'll play along.
Copy !req
267. How do we communicate?
Copy !req
268. Texts and phone calls can be intercepted,
Copy !req
269. by SHOCKER
and other foreign parties in our trade.
Copy !req
270. Contact nobody but me or him.
Copy !req
271. - How?
- Just raise your hand.
Copy !req
272. You're already
persons of highest interest.
Copy !req
273. We're watching you 24-7.
Copy !req
274. For our protection?
Copy !req
275. If you sign the contract.
Copy !req
276. Okay. But no paper trails.
Copy !req
277. Consider it signed.
Copy !req
278. Accepted.
Copy !req
279. You are now members of the official
Anti-SHOCKER Alliance.
Copy !req
280. We're counting on you.
Copy !req
281. We want to eradicate Bat-Aug first.
Copy !req
282. We've already located his lair.
Copy !req
283. I've arranged approval for you to
intervene immediately.
Copy !req
284. Know how to use it?
Copy !req
285. One magazine isn't enough.
I'll need a spare.
Copy !req
286. Do you have a plan?
Copy !req
287. Yes.
Copy !req
288. I'm always fully prepared.
Copy !req
289. I'll need another gun.
Copy !req
290. You've pursued greater strength
ever since that day.
Copy !req
291. You wanted the power to protect.
Copy !req
292. This is what it feels like to kill,
Copy !req
293. Dad.
Copy !req
294. Are you really going alone?
Copy !req
295. At the moment, that's our safest bet.
Copy !req
296. I should go too. I want to protect you.
Copy !req
297. Not happening.
Copy !req
298. Can you wear that mask again?
Copy !req
299. Can you kill again?
Copy !req
300. Can you overcome your despair?
Copy !req
301. Yes.
Copy !req
302. I promised I'd protect you.
Copy !req
303. Promise? You just got chatty with
my father on his deathbed.
Copy !req
304. Not my problem.
Copy !req
305. You don't know a thing about me.
Copy !req
306. You are too kind.
Copy !req
307. I can't rely on you in battle.
Copy !req
308. Unlike you, I'm in all the way.
Copy !req
309. Take me to the lair.
Copy !req
310. Midorikawa's little girl?
Copy !req
311. Foolish insects fly into the flame.
Copy !req
312. Long time no see, K.
Copy !req
313. That coat suits you well, Ms. Ruriko.
Copy !req
314. You do social pleasantries now?
You're learning well.
Copy !req
315. Action is eloquence.
Copy !req
316. But may I ask why you came?
Copy !req
317. To recommend a surrender.
Copy !req
318. How considerate of you.
Copy !req
319. However, I doubt Mr. Bat-Aug
will surrender.
Copy !req
320. Looks like you're right.
Copy !req
321. Later, K.
Copy !req
322. She's a feisty one.
Copy !req
323. Just as I expected.
Nothing but automatons here.
Copy !req
324. He still trusts nobody.
Copy !req
325. Well, neither do I.
Copy !req
326. It's been a while, you old bat.
Copy !req
327. How impudent of you, traitor.
Copy !req
328. You're still researching viruses,
despite my father's warnings?
Copy !req
329. Of course I am.
Copy !req
330. My Bat Virus is a work of art,
essential to the happiness of all mankind.
Copy !req
331. Your virus is a "work of art"?
Copy !req
332. Twisted old men never change.
Copy !req
333. Surrender now.
Copy !req
334. Or I'll put a dent in your precious virus.
Copy !req
335. Be my guest.
Copy !req
336. I've already perfected it.
Copy !req
337. This is what you get
for making fun of my research.
Copy !req
338. Now the little lady's life is all mine.
Copy !req
339. Should we intervene?
Copy !req
340. Wait.
Copy !req
341. This looks complicated.
Copy !req
342. Leave it to Masked Rider.
Let's see what Hongo Takeshi can do.
Copy !req
343. Unlike you, I'm in all the way.
Copy !req
344. No.
Copy !req
345. I'm not like you, Dad.
Copy !req
346. You finally made it.
Copy !req
347. We've been waiting, Hopper-Boy.
Copy !req
348. The name's Masked Rider.
Copy !req
349. So you're Bat-Aug?
Copy !req
350. Indeed.
Copy !req
351. I am SHOCKER's greatest
Chief of Biochemical Research,
Copy !req
352. Bat-Aug.
Copy !req
353. Who are they?
Copy !req
354. They're samples for my experiment.
Copy !req
355. They're nothing for you to worry about.
Copy !req
356. What you should worry about is
Copy !req
357. this little girl.
Copy !req
358. Miss Ruriko!
Copy !req
359. Hopper-Boy!
Copy !req
360. Do you know what has eliminated
the greatest number of humans in history?
Copy !req
361. Epidemics?
Copy !req
362. Correct.
Copy !req
363. Not famine, nor war.
Copy !req
364. Epidemics!
Copy !req
365. Epidemics are wonderful.
Copy !req
366. They expose society's decay,
Copy !req
367. and highlight what is truly needed for
the happiness of all humanity.
Copy !req
368. You're wrong.
Copy !req
369. Epidemics bring sadness to all people,
without exception.
Copy !req
370. Eradicating epidemics is one thing
that makes all of humanity happy.
Copy !req
371. I knew it. Simpletons can't appreciate
my ideals, nor my art.
Copy !req
372. This Bat Virus is my greatest masterpiece.
Copy !req
373. Reducing the ever-increasing population
by design,
Copy !req
374. it enables the superior survivors
to become even happier.
Copy !req
375. That's art!
Copy !req
376. And now,
Midorikawa's daughter is one of them.
Copy !req
377. She's been infected with my art.
Copy !req
378. She is my servant.
Copy !req
379. If I give the order,
she will die instantly.
Copy !req
380. - What did you do?
- A demonstration.
Copy !req
381. I hope the simpleton now appreciates
the level of perfection I have attained.
Copy !req
382. So, Hopper-Boy.
Copy !req
383. Will you oppose me, and let the girl die?
Copy !req
384. Or will you serve me, and let her live?
Copy !req
385. Those are your only options.
Copy !req
386. What will you do, Hopper-Boy?
Copy !req
387. Okay.
Copy !req
388. - Have it your way.
- Good choice.
Copy !req
389. For starters, let's get you disarmed.
Copy !req
390. Remove that disturbing piece of equipment
from your head.
Copy !req
391. Now you are infected with
my Bat Virus too.
Copy !req
392. You are my servant.
Copy !req
393. And now,
Copy !req
394. I want you to kill Midorikawa's daughter
right here and now.
Copy !req
395. Tear her to shreds.
Copy !req
396. Send her to join Midorikawa
with your own bare hands.
Copy !req
397. I have been waiting for a moment
like this for years.
Copy !req
398. This is what I call bliss!
Copy !req
399. What's this?
Copy !req
400. Without the mask,
you're exposed to the virus.
Copy !req
401. Why isn't it working?
Copy !req
402. That shouldn't be possible!
Copy !req
403. But lo and behold!
Copy !req
404. The girl too?
Copy !req
405. Why are you able to move?
Copy !req
406. Midorikawa told you.
Copy !req
407. When it comes to living organisms,
prana is almighty.
Copy !req
408. From the moment the virus enters the host,
it possesses prana.
Copy !req
409. To render the virus harmless,
I just had to rewrite its code.
Copy !req
410. You brat!
Copy !req
411. You got infected on purpose?
Copy !req
412. Exactly.
Copy !req
413. I'm always fully prepared.
Copy !req
414. Finding it hard to fly?
Copy !req
415. Die!
Copy !req
416. It appears the situation has taken
a turn for the worse.
Copy !req
417. I believe it's time for
a strategic change of plans.
Copy !req
418. Not so fast!
Copy !req
419. What a shame, Hopper-Boy!
Copy !req
420. You can only jump 66.30 meters high.
Copy !req
421. I am beyond your reach.
Copy !req
422. Midorikawa,
Copy !req
423. why doesn't anybody understand me?
Copy !req
424. You came.
Copy !req
425. Yeah.
Copy !req
426. I did.
Copy !req
427. You okay? Not wearing yourself out?
Copy !req
428. I'm fine.
Copy !req
429. I'll be okay.
Copy !req
430. I want to protect people.
Copy !req
431. I'll trust my heart.
Copy !req
432. So you made a choice.
Copy !req
433. Madam Scorpion-Aug,
Copy !req
434. they fell for the decoy,
just as you planned.
Copy !req
435. Golly good.
Copy !req
436. Then it's time we got this tail
to a mass-murdering party.
Copy !req
437. We're gonna use my cute little toxins.
Copy !req
438. I'm gonna fix the world!
Copy !req
439. - Waah!
- What's this?
Copy !req
440. Yikes spikes!
Copy !req
441. We have party poopers.
Copy !req
442. It's a little early,
Copy !req
443. but let's get this party rocking.
Copy !req
444. So people, let's party!
Copy !req
445. Slaughtering is such a ball!
Copy !req
446. Ecstasy!
Copy !req
447. Super ecstasy!
Copy !req
448. Come on, pleasure me more!
Copy !req
449. You boys can't get enough?
Copy !req
450. As you wish.
Copy !req
451. Very good.
Copy !req
452. Let's go all the way.
Copy !req
453. Yikes spikes!
Copy !req
454. Flop.
Copy !req
455. Scorpion-Aug has been neutralized.
Copy !req
456. We've dealt with
the Scorpion issue ourselves.
Copy !req
457. Your assistance is not required.
Copy !req
458. The prana system doesn't work against
Scorpion-Aug's venomous chemical weapons.
Copy !req
459. Thanks for stepping up.
Copy !req
460. - As for our next target—
- I know.
Copy !req
461. Wasp-Aug, right?
Copy !req
462. Do you know Wasp-Aug?
Copy !req
463. I was born and raised in the Organization.
I know most of the main agents.
Copy !req
464. And I know her particularly well.
Copy !req
465. She's the closest thing I have
to a friend.
Copy !req
466. Will you get her to surrender?
Copy !req
467. No, her ambitions are too dangerous.
Copy !req
468. It's better for all if she disappears.
Copy !req
469. Are all the agents at SHOCKER
such dangerous dudes?
Copy !req
470. Those at the executive level are.
Copy !req
471. But the lower-level agents and combatants
are just conscripts.
Copy !req
472. Prana is used to brainwash them.
They have no free will.
Copy !req
473. They're given enhanced bodies
and forced into service.
Copy !req
474. You'd still be one of them,
if I didn't get you out.
Copy !req
475. The suits might've already dealt with you,
like they did with Scorpion-Aug.
Copy !req
476. What's wrong?
You don't like my way with words?
Copy !req
477. Is this SHOCKER's doing?
Copy !req
478. Yes.
Copy !req
479. Wasp-Aug's colony must reach further than
the agency's intel shows.
Copy !req
480. Miss Midorikawa Ruriko?
Copy !req
481. Her Highness Wasp-Aug has been waiting.
Copy !req
482. If you'd be so kind, please follow me.
Copy !req
483. Your ears are better than mine.
Once we're inside, locate the server.
Copy !req
484. Got it.
Copy !req
485. There you are, Ruri-Ruri.
Copy !req
486. Welcome to my hive.
Copy !req
487. Your taste hasn't changed.
Copy !req
488. Taste reflects one character.
Isn't this place gorgeous?
Copy !req
489. Shall we have champagne
to celebrate our reunion?
Copy !req
490. Unfortunately, we're out of
Goût de Diamants.
Copy !req
491. A Shipwreck will have to do.
Copy !req
492. Good evening, K.
Copy !req
493. You work so hard.
Copy !req
494. You are too kind.
Copy !req
495. I'm here to observe you
because that is my task.
Copy !req
496. I see the gentleman didn't come by
motorcycle today.
Copy !req
497. Won't you join us?
Copy !req
498. No alcohol, thanks.
Copy !req
499. You know why we're here, Hiromi.
Copy !req
500. To eradicate us?
Copy !req
501. Exterminate us?
Copy !req
502. Either way, it sounds unpleasant.
Copy !req
503. And "Hiromi" is my old code name.
Copy !req
504. Now that I'm a high-ranking executive
at SHOCKER,
Copy !req
505. it's "Wasp-Aug."
Copy !req
506. Do keep up.
Copy !req
507. One word of advice.
Copy !req
508. Leave SHOCKER, Hiromi.
Copy !req
509. I have advice for you too.
Copy !req
510. Come back to SHOCKER, Ruri-Ruri.
Copy !req
511. You've enjoyed SHOCKER's splendor
since the day you were born.
Copy !req
512. I's secret society,
forever realizing our happiness.
Copy !req
513. Domination is the little thing in life
that makes me happy.
Copy !req
514. Submission is what makes my slaves happy.
Copy !req
515. For us to be truly happy,
Copy !req
516. we need an efficient system of slavery,
that benefits both nature and society.
Copy !req
517. We must reconstruct and implement
a new, controlled global system.
Copy !req
518. This town is the test model.
Copy !req
519. So,
Copy !req
520. now you understand what I aim to achieve,
you should both come back to SHOCKER.
Copy !req
521. Become cornerstones of a global system
that's right.
Copy !req
522. Those born to SHOCKER return to SHOCKER.
Copy !req
523. That's what's right.
Copy !req
524. Sorry, Hiromi.
Copy !req
525. I can't do that.
Copy !req
526. Neither can I.
Copy !req
527. Oh dear.
Copy !req
528. Negotiations have broken down already.
Copy !req
529. I hate violence, but…
Copy !req
530. I have no choice.
Copy !req
531. Now she's Wasp-Aug?
Copy !req
532. You stole their prana?
Copy !req
533. I did.
Copy !req
534. Now I'm complete.
Copy !req
535. Ichiro asked me to bring you in, Ruriko.
Copy !req
536. Don't fight it.
Copy !req
537. These are the lucky locals chosen
to participate in my social experiment.
Copy !req
538. They're just innocent workers.
Copy !req
539. You won't be violent with them, will you?
Copy !req
540. I hate violence too.
Copy !req
541. Oh dear. Did I screw things up?
Copy !req
542. Go.
Copy !req
543. He retreated without even
putting up a fight.
Copy !req
544. He's too soft.
Copy !req
545. That's Hongo's strong point.
Copy !req
546. His weak point too.
Copy !req
547. Is it really our job
to make up for his shortfalls?
Copy !req
548. You seem at home.
Copy !req
549. I always camp outdoors
when I tour on my bike.
Copy !req
550. It's less convenient, but more fun.
Copy !req
551. I go whenever I can.
Copy !req
552. Wherever I go, it's a battlefield.
But I'm always fully prepared.
Copy !req
553. I want to finish editing Butterfly-Aug's
basic program before he hatches.
Copy !req
554. Or it'll get hella crazy.
Copy !req
555. Butterfly-Aug?
Copy !req
556. I'll fill you in later.
Copy !req
557. Don't mind me.
Copy !req
558. I install programs to my brain
through my eyes.
Copy !req
559. I'm a computational organism,
made by the Organization.
Copy !req
560. Slow down. Try savoring your food.
Copy !req
561. No time for that. I'm refueling.
This is all about nutrition intake.
Copy !req
562. I don't get hungry anymore.
Copy !req
563. Having an efficient body is boring.
Copy !req
564. That's my father's prana system.
Copy !req
565. All living organisms emit prana
into the air.
Copy !req
566. Your device absorbs it,
converting it into bioenergy.
Copy !req
567. In other words,
you breathe the life of others.
Copy !req
568. But if all of humanity stopped eating
and started wearing that device,
Copy !req
569. we'd just end up with people
stealing each other's prana.
Copy !req
570. That road leads to nowhere but extinction.
Copy !req
571. That's why my father quit developing
insect hybrids.
Copy !req
572. Your prana converter was his last.
Copy !req
573. My father lived with hope,
but he always found despair.
Copy !req
574. It's pretty obvious
when you think about it.
Copy !req
575. Full of ideals, he was an idiot.
Copy !req
576. And the idiot's conclusion was
to pin all his hopes on you.
Copy !req
577. This is Wasp-Aug's territory too?
Copy !req
578. We control our prana,
but they're just Hiromi's puppets.
Copy !req
579. Unless we stop her,
this'll happen globally.
Copy !req
580. So we must destroy
her brainwashing system,
Copy !req
581. or her hive will always be
full of innocent drones?
Copy !req
582. The system's a beta version.
It should be stored on an external device.
Copy !req
583. Did you locate the server?
Copy !req
584. I did. I just need to destroy it, right?
Copy !req
585. It won't be that easy.
Copy !req
586. I want you to go in alone this time.
Copy !req
587. I have a plan.
Copy !req
588. Don't trust me.
Copy !req
589. Trust my plan.
Copy !req
590. Okay.
Copy !req
591. But I won't trust your plan.
I'll try trusting you.
Copy !req
592. Thanks, Miss Ruriko.
Copy !req
593. Thank you, Ruri-Ruri.
Copy !req
594. I do appreciate the invitation.
Copy !req
595. Feel like returning to the Organization?
Copy !req
596. No.
Copy !req
597. I feel like a fight.
Copy !req
598. Oh dear.
Copy !req
599. That's a shame.
Copy !req
600. Up here on the roof
Copy !req
601. your bodyguard can't pop in
on his bike to save you.
Copy !req
602. Doesn't it scare you going solo?
Copy !req
603. Of course I'm scared.
Copy !req
604. But I'm always fully prepared.
Copy !req
605. And you should know,
Copy !req
606. I believe in the man called Masked Rider.
Copy !req
607. We've already thwarted your plan.
Copy !req
608. Surrender, for Miss Ruriko's sake too.
Copy !req
609. That angle is going to backfire.
Copy !req
610. I want to make Ruriko cry.
Copy !req
611. So, I'm turning you down.
Copy !req
612. Hongo Takeshi,
Copy !req
613. the hornet is your natural predator.
Copy !req
614. Think you can beat us?
Copy !req
615. This katana is custom-made.
Copy !req
616. It can slice right through
your body armor.
Copy !req
617. Oh dear.
Copy !req
618. I won't lose, but I can't win.
Copy !req
619. He leaves me no choice.
Copy !req
620. I'm going to need your prana.
Copy !req
621. My pleasure.
Copy !req
622. Change.
Copy !req
623. Now we have the same basic specifications.
Copy !req
624. And now,
Copy !req
625. we have the same weapons.
Copy !req
626. Here I come.
Copy !req
627. Ruriko, I'm going to break your little toy
before your eyes.
Copy !req
628. So cry.
Copy !req
629. Break down and cry hard for me.
Copy !req
630. Burst into tears, right here and now.
Copy !req
631. I want to make sure you're sad.
Copy !req
632. Hurt.
Copy !req
633. Lost.
Copy !req
634. Please, Ruriko!
Copy !req
635. Oh dear.
Copy !req
636. It stopped halfway?
Copy !req
637. Wasp-Aug!
Copy !req
638. Say your prayers.
Copy !req
639. This is the end?
Copy !req
640. Oh dear.
Copy !req
641. You had me.
Copy !req
642. Why?
Copy !req
643. If I wear this any longer, I'll kill you.
Copy !req
644. I don't want that.
Copy !req
645. Neither does Miss Ruriko.
Copy !req
646. Don't do it.
Copy !req
647. Oh dear.
Copy !req
648. You are so kind.
Copy !req
649. I don't have any friends.
Copy !req
650. But…
Copy !req
651. I can't kill you.
Copy !req
652. We respect your personal thoughts.
Copy !req
653. We'll handle it from here.
Copy !req
654. One little warning.
Copy !req
655. Guns don't work on me.
Copy !req
656. Oh dear.
Copy !req
657. This is what gets me?
Copy !req
658. Don't tell me…
Copy !req
659. Scorpion-Aug's venom?
Copy !req
660. Hiromi?
Copy !req
661. What a shame.
Copy !req
662. I wanted you to kill me, Ruri-Ruri.
Copy !req
663. Is this why you attacked Scorpion-Aug?
Copy !req
664. No comment.
Copy !req
665. Are you okay?
Copy !req
666. I'm going to borrow your shoulder.
Copy !req
667. Humans really are interesting.
Copy !req
668. You're old-fashioned, K.
Copy !req
669. Yes. I'm trying to behave
in the same manner as humans.
Copy !req
670. Are they the two traitors?
Copy !req
671. Yes. I'm hoping they return to us
without further ado.
Copy !req
672. You are?
Copy !req
673. Then I'm sorry, K.
Copy !req
674. They're not coming back.
Copy !req
675. Oh. Why not?
Copy !req
676. Because I'm going to give them
an icy cold end.
Copy !req
677. Vengeance for Brother Spider-Aug.
Copy !req
678. That is now my greatest wish.
Copy !req
679. The two traitors will die.
That's a promise.
Copy !req
680. You call this a good hideout?
Copy !req
681. There's nothing here!
Copy !req
682. I need a shower.
At least a change of clothes!
Copy !req
683. Is that costume the only thing you own?
Try washing it!
Copy !req
684. It stunk back there.
Copy !req
685. Fresh clothes.
Copy !req
686. A female officer chose the underwear.
I haven't seen them.
Copy !req
687. You eliminated Hiromi
because that's your job.
Copy !req
688. I get it.
Copy !req
689. Don't worry about me.
Copy !req
690. Being hated is part of the job.
Copy !req
691. There's no need to contain your emotions.
Copy !req
692. I'm not.
Copy !req
693. My emotions will be fine, after I change.
Copy !req
694. You're too far away.
Copy !req
695. You're getting changed.
You need your space.
Copy !req
696. That's my decision.
Copy !req
697. When you're protecting me, stay close.
Copy !req
698. Except for the bathroom.
Copy !req
699. Be there, when I change and when I sleep.
Copy !req
700. But don't do anything weird.
Copy !req
701. It's okay.
Copy !req
702. You're safe and secure.
Copy !req
703. Safe and secure?
Copy !req
704. That's a first.
Copy !req
705. Sorry for being so annoying today.
Copy !req
706. I just wanted someone to pamper me,
for the first time in my life.
Copy !req
707. My father and brother were so strict.
Copy !req
708. - Brother?
- I can finally make your dream come true.
Copy !req
709. Soon, Ruriko.
Copy !req
710. - Brother!
- Hm?
Copy !req
711. My brother Ichiro hatched.
Copy !req
712. Your brother?
Copy !req
713. Butterfly-Aug.
Copy !req
714. We must stop him,
or all hell will break loose.
Copy !req
715. Not all of our departments
work closely together.
Copy !req
716. An overzealous special ops unit
tried to take out Butterfly-Aug's lair.
Copy !req
717. This was the result.
Copy !req
718. The JSDF received an SOS
and sent a rescue team.
Copy !req
719. They found the unit like this.
Copy !req
720. The weird thing is
none of the bodies have any wounds.
Copy !req
721. No traces of chemical or
bio-weapons either.
Copy !req
722. How were they killed?
Copy !req
723. To be precise,
they're both dead and alive.
Copy !req
724. What do you mean?
Copy !req
725. Butterfly-Aug has stolen their prana.
Copy !req
726. Individual prana sequences are
kept intact as they're removed,
Copy !req
727. then they're sent elsewhere.
Copy !req
728. It's like he's taken their souls
to another dimension.
Copy !req
729. We call it "The Habitat Realm."
Copy !req
730. Either way, these people's prana
will never return to their bodies.
Copy !req
731. In that sense, they're already dead.
Copy !req
732. You can cremate the bodies.
Copy !req
733. The Habitat Realm…
Copy !req
734. What's it like?
Copy !req
735. It's pretty much hell.
Copy !req
736. Hearts roam naked.
It's a world where you can't lie.
Copy !req
737. It's no place for a human.
Copy !req
738. I intend to send every last human
to The Habitat.
Copy !req
739. Won't you stop me, K?
Copy !req
740. If that's what makes you happy,
do as you wish.
Copy !req
741. I see. Then I shall.
Copy !req
742. What will you do with Ms. Ruriko?
Copy !req
743. There are no exceptions
with The Habitat Project.
Copy !req
744. Myself included.
Copy !req
745. My brother's ultimate goal starts with
seizing control of all mankind's prana.
Copy !req
746. Once he has it, he'll send
every last human to The Habitat.
Copy !req
747. To do that,
he must be the last human alive.
Copy !req
748. Why would your brother plot
something like that?
Copy !req
749. Ichiro's mother was murdered
when he was a child.
Copy !req
750. It was a random killing.
Copy !req
751. He hasn't trusted strangers,
or humans at all since.
Copy !req
752. I think my father probably joined SHOCKER
for the same reason.
Copy !req
753. Unlike Ichiro, my mother wasn't a human.
Copy !req
754. SHOCKER's artificial womb is
all I have for a mom.
Copy !req
755. We created a system that uses prana to
send each individual soul to The Habitat.
Copy !req
756. My brother and I wrote the code.
Copy !req
757. At the time,
we all believed it would make us happier.
Copy !req
758. We were wrong.
Copy !req
759. It wasn't my idea of happiness.
Copy !req
760. I have to stop my brother.
Copy !req
761. That's why I fled,
with the father I hate so much.
Copy !req
762. I'll do this alone.
Your help is not required.
Copy !req
763. You don't want me tangled up
in your family's problems?
Copy !req
764. Don't worry. I'm already tangled.
Copy !req
765. I'll help.
Copy !req
766. Well,
Copy !req
767. I'll need your mask.
Copy !req
768. Installing a new program?
Copy !req
769. Yep.
Copy !req
770. Firstly, I'll prevent your mask from
self-destructing.
Copy !req
771. Then I'll slip in a program
Copy !req
772. to secure
your unique prana sequence to the mask.
Copy !req
773. Or you might call it…
Copy !req
774. Welcome home, Ruriko. I missed you.
Copy !req
775. You can't complete The Habitat System
without accessing my data.
Copy !req
776. That's why you missed me.
Copy !req
777. And without accessing my data,
Copy !req
778. you can't complete your program
to pariphalyze The Habitat System.
Copy !req
779. That's why you came, right?
Copy !req
780. This is a family meeting.
Keep your nose out.
Copy !req
781. Brother,
Copy !req
782. Father died too.
Copy !req
783. I know. He got what he deserved.
Copy !req
784. But Mother didn't.
She was killed for no reason.
Copy !req
785. Stop trying to get revenge.
Copy !req
786. It's not revenge.
Copy !req
787. Leading all of humanity's prana to
The Habitat is salvation.
Copy !req
788. You've experienced its beauty.
Copy !req
789. No death. No unfairness.
A world for souls only.
Copy !req
790. It's happiness. Utopia.
Copy !req
791. No, it's unhappiness. Dystopia.
Copy !req
792. The Habitat Project was
all your idea, Ruriko.
Copy !req
793. You wanted to help people
understand each other.
Copy !req
794. Why betray it?
Copy !req
795. I knew nothing about the world back then.
Copy !req
796. But I do now.
Copy !req
797. Did our fool of a father fool you?
Copy !req
798. All I knew was how to compute.
Copy !req
799. But he showed me
there are more worlds outside of ours.
Copy !req
800. That's the only thing he ever did for me.
Copy !req
801. You should look at the worlds
beyond our own.
Copy !req
802. Don't be afraid of hearts you can't read.
Copy !req
803. There's no need.
Copy !req
804. Trusting people
is what kept mankind alive.
Copy !req
805. Trusting people also got them betrayed.
Copy !req
806. And to protect one's family from violence,
one needs greater strength.
Copy !req
807. I could have saved her,
if I'd been stronger.
Copy !req
808. She didn't have to die.
Copy !req
809. Humans are the only living creatures
that can solve conflict without violence.
Copy !req
810. That's why I'm eradicating
the perpetrator of violence :
Copy !req
811. the human body itself.
Copy !req
812. I don't think that's happiness.
Copy !req
813. Ruriko,
Copy !req
814. in kanji, removing just one line
from "happy" makes "pain."
Copy !req
815. It's so easy to destroy happiness
in this world.
Copy !req
816. Even if that's true, it's wrong to try
to recreate the entire world.
Copy !req
817. Brother…
Copy !req
818. Trying to pariphalyze me already?
Copy !req
819. A brave attempt,
Copy !req
820. but you cannot pariphalyze me, Ruriko.
Copy !req
821. My metamorphosis is complete.
Copy !req
822. I've already become
the synthetic-insect hybrid, Ultimate-Aug.
Copy !req
823. Nobody can compare with
my capacity for prana.
Copy !req
824. It seems you're right.
Copy !req
825. Hongo Takeshi, is it?
Copy !req
826. Did you sleep with my sister?
Copy !req
827. We don't share a romantic relationship.
Copy !req
828. We share trust.
Copy !req
829. Then I have no interest in you.
Copy !req
830. I have things to do.
Copy !req
831. You may flee.
Copy !req
832. Leave my sister there.
Copy !req
833. Wait.
Copy !req
834. Please wait!
Copy !req
835. My father chose you to protect her?
I expected better.
Copy !req
836. As Midorikawa Hiroshi's final masterpiece,
you are most disappointing.
Copy !req
837. I'll forget this happened.
Copy !req
838. I don't care for a tit-for-tat.
Copy !req
839. I'll leave you to him.
Copy !req
840. You're the first-model Grasshopper-Aug
"No. 1"?
Copy !req
841. Oh, sorry.
Copy !req
842. It's Masked Rider, right?
Copy !req
843. You are?
Copy !req
844. Ichimonji Hayato.
Copy !req
845. I was supposed to be a journalist,
but that doesn't seem the case anymore.
Copy !req
846. He's Grasshopper-Aug, No. 2.
Copy !req
847. Like yourself, he's
a synthetic insect-hybrid augmentation.
Copy !req
848. But I tweaked him,
so he's an enhanced model.
Copy !req
849. That's the story, apparently.
Copy !req
850. So, let me show you.
Copy !req
851. Transform.
Copy !req
852. You don't need wind?
Copy !req
853. Something doesn't feel quite right,
but my orders are to defeat you.
Copy !req
854. So,
Copy !req
855. shall we duel?
Copy !req
856. Sorry to say,
Copy !req
857. but you cannot beat me.
Copy !req
858. Probably not.
Copy !req
859. Ichimonji Hayato,
Copy !req
860. we'll do this another time.
Copy !req
861. Let's retreat.
Copy !req
862. You turn your back on my asylum?
Copy !req
863. You will regret this, Ruriko.
Copy !req
864. Still going?
Copy !req
865. Yeah, I think he's ready.
Copy !req
866. Did you condense enough prana?
Copy !req
867. Great.
Copy !req
868. Defeating you when you're weak
wouldn't feel quite right.
Copy !req
869. I'm okay.
Copy !req
870. Let's settle this.
Copy !req
871. What's wrong, Hongo?
Copy !req
872. You're in the mood.
Copy !req
873. Bring it on.
Copy !req
874. Oh, I see.
Copy !req
875. You show self-control, even with the mask.
I'm impressed.
Copy !req
876. Or was it just your kindness showing?
Copy !req
877. I guess I like kind people.
Copy !req
878. But there's a fine line between
"kind" and "weak."
Copy !req
879. If you hold back and I kill you,
what happens to the girl?
Copy !req
880. Get the picture?
Copy !req
881. Give me all you have, Hongo.
Copy !req
882. Ouch!
Copy !req
883. So, that's you at full power?
Copy !req
884. I like it.
Copy !req
885. The second man, Ichimonji Hayato.
Copy !req
886. He's been brainwashed,
but he maintains his own will.
Copy !req
887. This one's mentally tough too.
Copy !req
888. I see.
Copy !req
889. This makes it
easier to see who's stronger.
Copy !req
890. If we go at it mid-air,
we won't disturb anybody.
Copy !req
891. And it's easier for you
to collect prana too.
Copy !req
892. I like it.
Copy !req
893. If I can analyze the data from Ichiro,
Copy !req
894. I should be able to pariphalyze
the brainwashing.
Copy !req
895. Don't hold back, Hongo!
Copy !req
896. You're trying to fight
SHOCKER's brainwashing.
Copy !req
897. I don't want to fight you.
Copy !req
898. Don't be so naive.
Copy !req
899. The only thing on my mind right now
is fighting you.
Copy !req
900. How lame!
Copy !req
901. You disappoint me.
Copy !req
902. Should we finish this here?
Copy !req
903. That leg would take a while
to heal anyway.
Copy !req
904. Sorry.
Copy !req
905. You're in the way.
Copy !req
906. Move it, missy.
Copy !req
907. I'm pariphalyzing SHOCKER's mind control.
Copy !req
908. Your prana belongs to you.
Copy !req
909. Take control of your soul again.
Copy !req
910. "Isolate sad memories,
then overwrite them with euphoria."
Copy !req
911. That's SHOCKER's preferred method
of mind control.
Copy !req
912. But when it's undone,
all the memories come flooding back.
Copy !req
913. Stay strong amidst the waves of sadness,
Ichimonji Hayato.
Copy !req
914. Please.
Copy !req
915. Become a Rider.
Copy !req
916. Help him.
Copy !req
917. Who are you?
Copy !req
918. SHOCKER's new star.
Copy !req
919. Part mantis, part chameleon.
Copy !req
920. I'm Kamakiri Kameleon,
or "K K-Aug" for short.
Copy !req
921. I've never heard of you.
You're not in my memory.
Copy !req
922. Well, now we're acquainted.
Copy !req
923. I'm the fruit of the labors of SHOCKER's
finest scientific group.
Copy !req
924. I'm the first tri-species
synthetic hybrid augmentation.
Copy !req
925. Created by the Angels of Death,
Copy !req
926. I'm their latest and greatest work of art.
Copy !req
927. Well done, if I do say so myself.
Copy !req
928. Hey. Does it hurt?
Copy !req
929. Betrayal is more evil than murder.
Copy !req
930. Revenge is more noble than saving a life.
Copy !req
931. This is for Spider-Aug.
Copy !req
932. Die!
Copy !req
933. Who the hell are you?
Copy !req
934. Me?
Copy !req
935. I just became SHOCKER's enemy.
Copy !req
936. Humanity's ally.
Copy !req
937. I'm Ichimonji Hayato.
Copy !req
938. And,
Copy !req
939. I'm Masked Rider.
Copy !req
940. Masked Rider?
Copy !req
941. Huh?
Copy !req
942. What's that?
Copy !req
943. Thanks to the missy,
my prana feels just right.
Copy !req
944. From now on, I'll do as I please.
Copy !req
945. For starters,
Copy !req
946. I'll take you down.
Copy !req
947. Start settling the score.
Copy !req
948. I guess that means
Copy !req
949. you're fresh out of the traitor oven?
Copy !req
950. That seals the deal.
I'm going to kill you.
Copy !req
951. When it comes to traitors,
Copy !req
952. I kill them all!
Copy !req
953. Ouch!
Copy !req
954. My super-duper mantis mask…
Copy !req
955. You silly little grasshopper.
I am salty now.
Copy !req
956. I am mad salty.
Copy !req
957. Die!
Copy !req
958. Die!
Copy !req
959. Brother Spider,
Copy !req
960. forgive me.
Copy !req
961. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
962. So much for always being fully prepared.
I made a blunder.
Copy !req
963. Stop talking.
Copy !req
964. I'm done for.
Copy !req
965. I won't make it.
Copy !req
966. While I still have my prana,
Copy !req
967. one last thing.
Copy !req
968. I sent the latest data to your mask.
Copy !req
969. It contains my final will too.
Copy !req
970. Your will?
Copy !req
971. Like I said.
Copy !req
972. I'm always fully prepared.
Copy !req
973. And…
Copy !req
974. Your scarf…
Copy !req
975. I'm so glad it suits you.
Copy !req
976. So,
Copy !req
977. you left to join Midorikawa.
Copy !req
978. Ruriko…
Copy !req
979. First of all,
Copy !req
980. when I first left SHOCKER,
Copy !req
981. I thought I'd be dead before long.
Copy !req
982. But thanks to you,
I lived longer than I expected.
Copy !req
983. Thanks.
Copy !req
984. And that time with Hiromi too.
Copy !req
985. Thanks.
Copy !req
986. It was nice.
Copy !req
987. Yeah,
Copy !req
988. I'll thank the others while I'm at it.
Copy !req
989. This is for the bearded guys.
Copy !req
990. Tell them thanks. They treated me well.
Please pass that on.
Copy !req
991. Talking to a camera like this
all by myself…
Copy !req
992. It's kinda embarrassing.
Copy !req
993. My body and energy converter
won't be enough to pariphalyze my brother.
Copy !req
994. Not now he's Butterfly-Aug.
Copy !req
995. My volume of prana just isn't enough.
Copy !req
996. But you can do it.
Copy !req
997. I've installed the pariphalyze program
on your mask.
Copy !req
998. I will have transferred the latest data
from my brother to it too.
Copy !req
999. I'm giving everything to you
because I believe in you.
Copy !req
1000. You have to stop him,
Copy !req
1001. Masked Rider,
Copy !req
1002. Hongo Takeshi.
Copy !req
1003. I'm so glad the scarf suits you.
Copy !req
1004. My father was into motorcycles
before he joined SHOCKER.
Copy !req
1005. I saw him in a photo my brother has.
Copy !req
1006. It looks like this.
Copy !req
1007. I wanted to be in that photo.
Copy !req
1008. I envied him.
Copy !req
1009. I wanted to ride behind my father too.
Copy !req
1010. But not anymore.
Copy !req
1011. It felt really nice riding behind you.
Copy !req
1012. It felt like I was giving you my prana.
I truly felt happy.
Copy !req
1013. I think I finally understood
Copy !req
1014. the meaning of happiness.
Copy !req
1015. Thanks,
Copy !req
1016. Takeshi.
Copy !req
1017. Goodbye.
Copy !req
1018. PS : I hope I can say the scarf bit
face-to-face.
Copy !req
1019. I made a fatal mistake with the missy.
Copy !req
1020. I'm truly sorry.
Copy !req
1021. It's not your fault.
Copy !req
1022. I was too weak.
Copy !req
1023. I will carry on Miss Ruriko's torch.
Copy !req
1024. I'll keep fighting SHOCKER.
Copy !req
1025. What will you do, Ichimonji?
Copy !req
1026. My field of expertise used to be
pens and cameras.
Copy !req
1027. I exposed evil. The truth was my weapon.
Copy !req
1028. When you fight evil, the whole world wins.
Copy !req
1029. I'll like having this power.
Copy !req
1030. I want to live free.
Copy !req
1031. From now on,
I'll only do the things I like.
Copy !req
1032. It's not that I don't like you,
Copy !req
1033. but I wouldn't like being used by
the guys behind you.
Copy !req
1034. I hate being part of the herd.
Copy !req
1035. Which means,
Copy !req
1036. I'd rather fight SHOCKER alone.
Copy !req
1037. You can enjoy solitude on a bike.
Copy !req
1038. That's why I like them.
Copy !req
1039. Bye, Hongo.
Copy !req
1040. Hongo Takeshi.
Copy !req
1041. We looked into your background.
Copy !req
1042. Your father was a policeman.
Killed in the line of duty.
Copy !req
1043. My father was negotiating with a man
who'd taken a hostage when he was killed.
Copy !req
1044. - I want to help you.
- Liar!
Copy !req
1045. - I'm not lying.
- Then ditch the gun!
Copy !req
1046. Throw it here!
Copy !req
1047. Hey!
Copy !req
1048. Stop it!
Copy !req
1049. Stop or I'll shoot!
Copy !req
1050. Stop! Stop!
Copy !req
1051. Only the strong can protect
their loved ones.
Copy !req
1052. Dad…
Copy !req
1053. If I'd been stronger,
I could've protected him.
Copy !req
1054. Dad!
Copy !req
1055. If he'd used the power he was given
and fired his weapon,
Copy !req
1056. he would never have been killed.
Copy !req
1057. As he laid there dying,
Copy !req
1058. he kept asking if
the hostage and killer were safe.
Copy !req
1059. He seemed more worried about them
than the family he was leaving behind.
Copy !req
1060. He was kind to strangers,
until the very end.
Copy !req
1061. I want to be as compassionate
as my father,
Copy !req
1062. but unlike him,
I want to use the power I have.
Copy !req
1063. You're not the only one.
Copy !req
1064. Many people have experienced despair,
just like you.
Copy !req
1065. But everyone copes with it differently.
Copy !req
1066. You can get over this, in your own way.
Copy !req
1067. Thanks.
Copy !req
1068. You're right.
Copy !req
1069. Healed already?
Copy !req
1070. Yes.
Copy !req
1071. I think it'll be fine.
Copy !req
1072. It's time I saw Ichiro.
Copy !req
1073. Getting revenge for Ruriko?
Copy !req
1074. No.
Copy !req
1075. I just want to carry on her will,
and make her wishes come true.
Copy !req
1076. I won't take revenge.
Copy !req
1077. And Ruriko isn't really gone.
Copy !req
1078. And…
Copy !req
1079. can I ask one favor?
Copy !req
1080. Going by yourself, Hongo?
Copy !req
1081. Is this my price to pay for the missy?
Copy !req
1082. They possess the same powers as you.
Copy !req
1083. They're Polymorphic Plague-Type
Grasshopper-Augs.
Copy !req
1084. While you're a solitary creature,
they're gregarious.
Copy !req
1085. In the locust phase,
grasshoppers turn black and form swarms.
Copy !req
1086. They also become more savage.
Copy !req
1087. Now it's time to lose your prana
and join Ruriko,
Copy !req
1088. Hongo Takeshi.
Copy !req
1089. No choice but to fight?
Copy !req
1090. There are so many. Can I defeat them?
Copy !req
1091. My mask won't last.
Copy !req
1092. Hop on!
Copy !req
1093. Hongo, I've made up my mind.
Copy !req
1094. I hate teamwork,
Copy !req
1095. but I'll try liking it.
Copy !req
1096. From now on, I'm Masked Rider No. 2!
Copy !req
1097. That makes us Double Riders.
Copy !req
1098. Yeah.
Copy !req
1099. This finally feels right.
Copy !req
1100. Uh-oh!
Copy !req
1101. That hurt!
Copy !req
1102. What showoffs.
Copy !req
1103. Without the body armor,
we'd be in real trouble.
Copy !req
1104. You okay, Hongo?
Copy !req
1105. Sorry, Ichimonji-kun.
Copy !req
1106. Don't apologize.
Just show your appreciation.
Copy !req
1107. Thanks, Ichimonji-kun.
Copy !req
1108. Cut the "kun." No need for formalities.
Copy !req
1109. Okay, Ichimonji.
Copy !req
1110. Whoa.
Copy !req
1111. We have more guests.
Copy !req
1112. Crank it up, Hongo.
Copy !req
1113. Let's do this, Ichimonji.
Copy !req
1114. - Hongo!
- Ichimonji!
Copy !req
1115. So,
Copy !req
1116. shall we, Hongo?
Copy !req
1117. Yeah.
Copy !req
1118. Let's go, Ichimonji.
Copy !req
1119. You again?
Copy !req
1120. Yeah.
Copy !req
1121. I'll keep coming until I stop you.
Copy !req
1122. Your father entrusted me with this body.
Copy !req
1123. Your sister entrusted me with her wishes.
Copy !req
1124. I will stop you, no matter what.
Copy !req
1125. I'm in the middle of polishing up
the perfect program, however…
Copy !req
1126. Okay.
Copy !req
1127. I'll play with you.
Copy !req
1128. For real?
Copy !req
1129. Resistance is futile.
Copy !req
1130. My prana system is colossal.
Copy !req
1131. Midorikawa's Grasshopper-Aug cannot
compare with my capacity for energy.
Copy !req
1132. Ichimonji!
Copy !req
1133. Sorry, Cyclone.
Copy !req
1134. I think that'll put your Habitat Project
on hold for a while.
Copy !req
1135. Your prana fast-charger too.
Copy !req
1136. She put ideas in your head?
Copy !req
1137. I underestimated you boys.
Copy !req
1138. Consider this my apology.
Copy !req
1139. I'll take you seriously.
Copy !req
1140. Transform.
Copy !req
1141. Butterflies symbolize
resurrection and immortality.
Copy !req
1142. And blue butterflies are
messengers of the gods.
Copy !req
1143. Behold my complete form,
Copy !req
1144. Butterfly-Aug.
Copy !req
1145. So,
Copy !req
1146. now we have matching forms.
Copy !req
1147. I will save mankind in my own way.
Copy !req
1148. I am Masked Rider…
Copy !req
1149. Number Zero.
Copy !req
1150. Come.
Copy !req
1151. Wow!
Copy !req
1152. Even though we broke his throne,
Copy !req
1153. he's still pretty strong.
Copy !req
1154. Yeah.
Copy !req
1155. He is.
Copy !req
1156. He lives up to his reputation.
Copy !req
1157. By the way, Hongo,
any idea how to defeat him?
Copy !req
1158. Yeah.
Copy !req
1159. Huh?
Copy !req
1160. You do?
Copy !req
1161. Next time you have an idea,
please tell me first!
Copy !req
1162. It was in Miss Ruriko's will.
Copy !req
1163. We have to unmask him to do it.
Whatever it takes.
Copy !req
1164. Okay.
Copy !req
1165. We'll get it done. Whatever it takes.
Copy !req
1166. Yeah.
Copy !req
1167. Whatever it takes.
Copy !req
1168. You're getting pesky.
Copy !req
1169. Whatever it takes!
Copy !req
1170. How impudent!
Copy !req
1171. If you want to destroy the Organization,
leave it to me.
Copy !req
1172. I'll take SHOCKER,
and all of humanity to The Habitat Realm!
Copy !req
1173. I'll do it for my sister too.
Copy !req
1174. And my parents.
Copy !req
1175. I'll avenge my whole family.
Copy !req
1176. You're wrong.
Nobody in your family would want that.
Copy !req
1177. It's all in your head.
Copy !req
1178. You know nothing about me!
Copy !req
1179. I know a bit.
Copy !req
1180. My father was killed too.
Copy !req
1181. He fell victim to human absurdity!
Copy !req
1182. If that's true,
Copy !req
1183. why stop me?
Copy !req
1184. I don't understand people.
Copy !req
1185. But I want to.
That's why I'm trying change!
Copy !req
1186. I want to change myself, not the world!
Copy !req
1187. It's pointless.
Copy !req
1188. Everything is pointless, Hongo.
Copy !req
1189. No, it's not!
Copy !req
1190. Nothing in life is pointless!
Copy !req
1191. Ichimonji!
Copy !req
1192. I've got this!
Copy !req
1193. This is what Miss Ruriko wished for.
Copy !req
1194. She's in there.
Copy !req
1195. Brother.
Copy !req
1196. Ruriko.
Copy !req
1197. You were in here?
Copy !req
1198. You can stay with me.
Copy !req
1199. I've installed a program for it.
Copy !req
1200. Come with him.
Copy !req
1201. Before your body is totally lost.
Copy !req
1202. You thought I wouldn't notice?
Copy !req
1203. This place is too small
for the three of us.
Copy !req
1204. I can't
Copy !req
1205. lose
Copy !req
1206. anyone else.
Copy !req
1207. I've had enough.
Copy !req
1208. I'm sorry,
Copy !req
1209. Ruriko.
Copy !req
1210. Wait, Brother.
Copy !req
1211. Wait, Brother!
Copy !req
1212. Brother…
Copy !req
1213. Wait.
Copy !req
1214. Did you speak with Miss Ruriko?
Copy !req
1215. Yeah. Thanks.
Copy !req
1216. However,
Copy !req
1217. you used too much prana on me.
Copy !req
1218. Unless you go, you'll disappear too.
Copy !req
1219. I'm prepared for that.
Copy !req
1220. You'd give your life
Copy !req
1221. for the soul of a stranger?
Copy !req
1222. Ruriko trusted you.
Copy !req
1223. I will too.
Copy !req
1224. Hongo.
Copy !req
1225. It's in your hands now,
Copy !req
1226. Ichimonji.
Copy !req
1227. Hongo!
Copy !req
1228. Really?
Copy !req
1229. I'm alone again?
Copy !req
1230. Oh, well.
Copy !req
1231. We come into this world alone,
Copy !req
1232. we die alone too.
Copy !req
1233. Hongo requested
we recover and repair the mask.
Copy !req
1234. He said if he disappeared,
Copy !req
1235. he'd want you to continue
calling yourself Masked Rider.
Copy !req
1236. We confirmed SHOCKER has a new agent,
Cobra-Aug.
Copy !req
1237. Hongo Takeshi embedded his prana,
his soul,
Copy !req
1238. in here.
Copy !req
1239. Will you carry on his will?
Copy !req
1240. Masked Rider?
Copy !req
1241. We found Midorikawa Ruriko's soul
in the mask too.
Copy !req
1242. As Hongo wished,
Copy !req
1243. we've secured her prana
in a safe location.
Copy !req
1244. For the missy and for Hongo,
Copy !req
1245. I'll try working with you guys.
Copy !req
1246. I feel a bit better now.
Copy !req
1247. Come to think of it,
I never got your names.
Copy !req
1248. We're just nobodies.
Copy !req
1249. Huh?
Copy !req
1250. I don't trust people
who won't share their names.
Copy !req
1251. I'm Tachibana.
Copy !req
1252. He's Taki.
Copy !req
1253. If you need something, raise your hand.
Copy !req
1254. I'd like a new Cyclone and suit.
Copy !req
1255. This mask feels nice.
Copy !req
1256. It doesn't have the cold, hungry feel
of the last one.
Copy !req
1257. It feels kind.
Copy !req
1258. Yeah.
Copy !req
1259. Now I feel nice and fresh.
Copy !req
1260. So this is your soul?
Copy !req
1261. Hongo.
Copy !req
1262. Hongo, can you feel the wind?
Copy !req
1263. I can.
Copy !req
1264. My prana, my soul, may be inside the mask,
Copy !req
1265. but I feel the force of the wind,
the sound of the exhaust, and the smells.
Copy !req
1266. I feel everything you feel.
Copy !req
1267. Go faster, Ichimonji.
Copy !req
1268. Let me savor the new Cyclone.
Copy !req
1269. Okay.
Copy !req
1270. Here we go, Hongo.
Copy !req
1271. We're not alone anymore.
Copy !req
1272. It's you and me.
Copy !req
1273. We'll fight SHOCKER together.
Copy !req
1274. BASED ON THE CHARACTERS CREATED BY
ISHINOMORI SHOTARO
Copy !req
1275. SHOCKER is coming

1311. The wind whistles across the wilderness
Copy !req
1312. He goes alone, all alone
Copy !req
1313. He is Masked Rider
Copy !req
1314. He takes sorrow with clenched teeth
Copy !req
1315. He fights alone, all alone
Copy !req
1316. However, for his friends
Copy !req
1317. For his hometown
Copy !req
1318. No matter how alone he may be
Copy !req
1319. He will protect everything that is dear
Copy !req
1320. He is Masked Rider
Copy !req
1321. The battle has ended
Copy !req
1322. Morning has come
Copy !req
1323. The sky is blue
Copy !req
1324. The clouds are white
Copy !req
1325. From the top of the hill, oh!
Copy !req
1326. It's coming, here it comes
It's Cyclone

1327. His red scarf waves in the wind
Copy !req
1328. Here he comes, he's coming back

1330. THE END
