My name... is Rider.

Call me Kamen Rider.

You're the crown jewel of the Organization's Grasshopper Augment Project.

It's hard to control my violence when I have this on.

Think of your pain as a way to help people gain happiness.

Isn't that what it means to fight for the sake of others?

We're now the government-approved "Anti-SHOCKER Alliance".

Very well. I shall show you.

Transform.

People survive by trusting each other.

Trust is what leads to betrayal.

I want to protect people. I trust my heart's decision.

Those born from SHOCKER must return to SHOCKER. It's only natural.

You're an Augment too, so why can't you understand my happiness?!

Those two traitors are dead meat.

Humans truly are fascinating.

Come on, let's party!

I will save humanity in my own way.

As Kamen Rider No. 0.

Take back the freedom of your Prana. Your soul.

I trust you, so I'll leave things to you.

Kamen Rider, Hongou Takeshi.

Feel the wind and put on the mask!

Execute all traitors.

That is my job.

However, the Organization wants you alive.

So in lieu of death, I will carry out a punishment that will prevent your escape.

Don't worry, it'll be over in a moment.

Batta-Aug! So, you're finally complete.

I heard the wind's call.

But why did I hear it from within me?

Did I kill them...?

No... My body just moved on its own.

I don't understand.

Why am I so calm after killing people?

What is this...?

You're free now. If you don't want to stay here, come with me.

Please. Tell me what happened to my body.

You helped me escape, so you must know something!

Please! You have to tell me!

What is this? What is this power?

I'll answer you, Hongou.

Professor Midorikawa!

You're the crown jewel of the Organization's Grasshopper Augmentation Project.

Releasing the remnant Prana in your energy converter will turn you human again.

Professor... Why do you know all this?

I chose you to be my collaborator.

My research group upgraded your body.

You did...?

I can only entrust the future of Prana to you.

So I did.

Prana directly supports your lifeforce,

and condensed Prana energy makes you superhuman.

The Prana from your body is taken in by the Absorption-Amplifier System,

which is powered by the Chest Converter in your armor

and connects to your belt and mask.

Why did you give me this power...?

Because it was your wish. To have great power.

It was...?

I know very well the despair you experienced in college.

You've wanted power like this ever since then.

A great power that can protect others.

And now, you have it.

But Professor...

This is excessive power that can kill people with ease.

I can't possibly—

The Organization's other Augments use the same power you have to fuel their own egos.

I want you to use this power for humanity.

For the many people who lack the power to protect themselves.

Our plan to take down the Organization...

Will need your help.

Forgive my rudeness, this is my daughter.

Midorikawa Ruriko.

Um, I'm...

Hongou Takeshi.

Sharp mind, fit body, but socially inept and as a result, unemployed.

Motorcycles are your only hobby.

I don't trust anyone.

But I'll take a gamble on your ability.

We're working together, so dress in a way that doesn't embarrass me.

Motorcycle riders have their own look, don't they?

And red always looks good on a hero.

Not that I would know.

The Batta-Aug's system is paired with the Modded Autobike Cyclone.

Perfect for you.

So I'm fighting the Organization now.

Is that man in the spider mask also an Augment?

That's right. The Kumo-Aug.

He was created by a different group. An Inhuman Fusion Augment.

We gotta get out of here!

Now then.

Professor!

Don't worry about me!

Kumo-Aug.

You're here to end me, right?

Go on, do it.

Rest assured that I will grant you your wish in my own way.

Execute all traitors.

That is my job.

What a great feeling.

Taking my prey's life with my very own hands.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Now then, Midorikawa Hiroshi.

Die in my hands, and become part of my everlasting happiness.

Professor!

Hongou...! Take care of Ruriko...!

Thank you for being the fuel to my happiness.

May you rest in eternal bliss.

You're also a traitor, but you're one of our beloved Augments.

So I'll keep my hands away.

And she's a traitor too, but my job is to bring her back alive.

Before I go, your foolish decision to release your energy and regain your human appearance is your downfall.

Farewell.

You're Midorikawa's magnum opus for a reason.

I'm surprised you're completely unscathed, Batta-Aug.

No.

My name... is Rider.

Call me Kamen Rider.

Traitors don't get such privileges.

It's a shame I'll have to kill a fellow Augment,

but grasshoppers have long been a symbol for disaster, after all.

This is where it ends for you.

Execute all those who stand in our way. That is my job.

I hate humans.

So I shall kill them with my own hands, in the name of all Augments who abandon their humanity.

That is what fuels my happiness.

Not bad.

Your close combat prowess is impressive, but it won't matter if you can't hit me.

A warrior out for blood, and it's because of me. How beautiful.

You understand the happiness of killing someone, don't you?

No! I'd never feel happy to do that!

Very good... Such incredible power.

I'm not sure why you can't understand it, as inhuman as you are.

What a shame!

Look at this!

Look at this unstoppable lethality!

The happiness of being inhuman!

You're an Augment too, so why can't you understand my happiness?!

Please, die in my hands, so that you may fuel my happiness.

My research indicated that aerial combat is my one and only weakness...!

Put me down. I can walk.

All members of the Organization dissolve upon death to prevent any disclosure.

When the two of us die, it'll be just like that.

The remnant energy in my body is still screaming.

It's hard to control my violence when I have this on.

That mask has a system that amplifies survival instinct.

It increases competitiveness while erasing the fear of murder,

putting you in a state where you're ready to kill or be killed.

It's more painful... than I imagined.

Pain and gain are only one letter apart.

The line between them is not as obvious as it seems.

But think of your pain as a way to help people gain happiness.

Isn't that what it means to fight for the sake of others?

Maybe you're too kind.

I'm sorry.

Professor...

I couldn't protect him.

You don't have to apologize.

You saved me, and that's enough.

Midorikawa turned you into a grasshopper freak without permission.

Forget about him.

I intend to do the same.

He only created me because he needed a way to implement Prana into practical use.

He is my father, but only by genetic data.

I'm just another one of his tools, like you.

Professor Midorikawa's final words were for me to take care of you.

I think my body is the result of his love for his daughter.

So you affirm and accept that man's ego?

You really are a fool.

I guess that's why he chose you.

SHOCKER?

That's the Organization's name.

As far as I know, there are four more Augments there.

This is where it truly begins.

To be continued...
