Please watch in a well lit room, and sit away from the screen.
Hello?
That one's next...
So, how've you been, Ritsuko?
No way, really?
Why, though?
An era begins from zero on this empty planet.
Karappo no hoshi jidai wo zero kara hajimeyou
Legends will need to be repainted.
Densetsu wa nurikaeru mono
Now is the time to release your accelerator!
Ima, akuseru wo tokihanate.
KUUGA!
A blazing revival!
Atsuku yomigaere!
KUUGA!
A proud energy!
Hokori no enajii!
KUUGA!
Be strong for all our sakes!
Tsuyoku aru tame ni!
NO FEAR!
NO PAIN!
As long as he stands for love!
Ai no mae ni tatsu kagiri!
NO FEAR!
NO PAIN!
There is nothing that we need to fear!
Osoreru mono wa nani mo nai!
Even if I stand alone, I will overcome it all!
Kanzen dokusou, ore ga koete yaru!
Super Transformation!
CHOU HENSHIN!
MASKED RIDER KUUGA!
KAMEN RAIDAA KUUGA!
Southern Nagano
People in Nagano hit with a double dose of trouble over the holiday.
An unexploded shell and a bear sighting caused many traffic delays.
Children missing within the city limits.
Mutilated cattle discovered.
Reports of howling heard at night.
An unexploded shell and a bear sighting?
What the heck is this?
So bright!
Well of course!
You slept for eleven hours!
Sorry!
I don't think I've ever been exhausted like this before...
Excuse me! Could I please get a menu?
I couldn't sleep at all!
Transformation
Watching that video! Getting attacked by that weird thing!
And then you went and... changed like that!
Hey, are you really okay? After all that...
I think so! I didn't die or anything.
You're taking this too lightly!
When you transformed, I thought you might lose control! I was really worried!
You know, it seems I can fight in that form whenever I want to.
And when I don't want it anymore, I turn back to normal.
Nice and simple, right?
Let's hurry back to Tokyo. You're done with that stuff now, right?
I hope I can go back to adventuring. I didn't like the feel of it at all.
What feeling?
Please wait!
Since that incident at the ruins, strange things have been happening everywhere!
Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters
Children disappearing. Officers going missing. Mysterious howling at night.
With all this, why doesn't the brass say anything?
We haven't been able to find the bodies of Unidentified Life Forms #1 and #2.
'Releasing vague information would only risk a panic' is what they think.
But still--
That's why we're going to be on heightened alert in the meantime.
Once the TRCS2000 is completed, it's possible that we'll get it before Headquarters now.
That's amazing!
Hey, stop!
What?
If I'm wrong about this, forget it, but...
Last night, did you--
Yeah! I fought that spider looking thing.
You really are Unidentified Life Form #2!
That's what you call me? Talk about a mouthful.
How did it happen?
Well, to break it down... I saw this vision at the ruins.
I put the belt on like I was shown. Then unbelievably, it went inside me!
Around here, it went "shhllpt".
No. "Fffzzt"?
No! If felt like more of a "Zhhhr"! What do you think?
Why did you do something so rash?
I felt like I was asked to fight the spider guy.
You were asked?
I gave it a shot, and it felt like it was meant to happen.
I had what it took to fight him.
You didn't think anything else?
You could have ended up just like that monster!
Nah, it didn't feel that way. Although that's just how I felt.
Are you stupid? How can you be so confident with no reasoning?
That aside, Mr. Detective. Whatever happened to that spider thing?
It's got nothing to do with you.
It's still alive, isn't it?
It's none of your business!
More importantly, come with me. You need a physical.
No way! I haven't even bathed yet!
What?
Mr. Ichijou, if we don't get to the scene soon, Mr. Ebisawa is gonna be scary!
Hurry back to Tokyo and go here.
Medical Examination Center, Shuichi Tsubaki?
Understood?
Mr. Ebisawa. Sorry for being late.
I appreciate you coming out here..
San Marco Church, Nakagosho, Nagano
So, why do you need us at a homicide?
The victim has strange wounds. It seems like something bit here and left two small holes.
The examination's not complete but there didn't seem to be any other cause of death.
Plus, it happened five times in one evening!
What's the chance that... thing from last night, survived?
#1 and #2 didn't have the same mouth structure as humans...
I see...
Those two...
Did either of them seem sensitive to light?
No. Why?
It's hard to believe, but a drunk who claimed a monster attacked him...
He said that the monster ran off when the morning sun came up.
Could it be...
A third one?
Mama? Is Father Hose going to be okay?
I don't know. He didn't say anything about staying inside today...
It would be terrible if he was attacked by a bear.
Excuse me.
Is that Father Hose?
Well, I was kinda... wondering if you were okay...?
Well, as long as you're okay.
Sorry to intrude. I'll leave now.
What a foul stench.
That's right, it's unbelievable! He sleeps all night, and then vanishes for two hours!
I had no idea what to do at the restaurant!
What? Bear panic?
...Oh, yeah. That sounds terrible.
Did you get any leads on it, Makoto?
What?
Really?
When?
Okay.
District 4 in Hakoshimizu, Nagano?
Right, got it. Thank you. Bye.
I'll be out late tonight so help me find a place to stay.
What?
There's a wake for Professor Natsume from the expedition team. I should at least drop by.
I see.
Something's been bothering me too.
What?
Calling all cars...
Unidentified Life Form spotted, provide immediate assistance.
Koshibami, Nagano
Hold on!
Run!
Hurry! Hurry and run!
Mr. Detective!
Get back! This is a job for the police!
But, Mr. Detective!
Hurry and get away from here!
Idiot! What are you--?!
He changed!
THIS is how you throw a punch!
Mr. Ichijou!
Mr. Ichijou.
Nagano Prefectural Police Hospital
You can't, Mr. Ichijou!
You need to be checked out! You could have fractured bones.
I'm fine. It doesn't even hurt anymore.
I know that's not true!
I'm fine!
I have a lot of things to check out.
Mr. Detective!
You're still here?
Sorry! It was my fault!
Just stay out of it.
More than anything else, you're a civilian.
But--
You can believe you have the power to fight if you want... but it's not your duty!
Protecting the people is the duty of the police.
If you're not going to take it seriously, stay away!
You're late, Godai. What were you doing?
Park Hotel, Minami Chitose, Nagano
I was thinking about the red warrior.
Red warrior?
In the vision I saw, the warrior had a red body. But when I transformed, my body was white.
I get the feeling it's supposed to be red.
Red...
I think it didn't go all the way because I wasn't dedicated enough...
I guess even you hesitate sometimes.
Of course I do...
That's...
Residence of Professor Natsume, Hakoshimizu, Nagano
Thank you.
Father.
Be careful now!
Kurita, Nagano
Careful on the way home, all right?
He got drunk again tonight!
Mr. Masaru Oshima?
What is it?
I want to hear about the monster attack.
You actually believe me?!
That monster, it came through the window! It was at San Marco Church.
You don't look very tasty, but I'll still drink your blood.
Mr. Detective!
What are you doing here?!
I'm going to fight!
You're still saying that?!
I'm not going to let them...
I'm not gonna let them make anyone else cry!
I want everyone to smile!
So please watch...
My...
Transformation!
You turned into Kuuga?! How?!
Kuuga?
I see, this is Kuuga?!
This is it!
K-Kill you... I'll do it!
Kill you.
I'll kill you!
Kuuga!
Good morning, Mr. Ichijou...
Why am I on your shoulder?
Oh, it's fine, right?
I have never been more ashamed.
I make a pillow out of my heavy luggage.
Omoi nimotsu wo makura ni shitara.
With a deep breath, I become one with the blue sky.
Shinkokyuu... aozora ni naru.
With eyes open or closed
Me wo akete 'te mo tsubutte mo.
I pass over the same scenes but
Onaji keshiki wa sugite yuku kedo
I just noticed something I couldn't miss.
Ima, mite 'nakucha... kizukenai.
Come on, follow me to a future with no more sadness.
Kimi wo tsurete yukou kanashimi no nai mirai made.
The only thing in my pocket is the smile on your face.
Kimi ga kureta egao dake poketto ni shimatte.
I will become the blue sky.
Boku wa... aozora ni naru.
We've confirmed the existence of seven Unidentified Life Forms.
Your orders are to shoot on sight!
#2 and #4 shouldn't be on the list of targets!
'Tokyo'.
Tow-Key-Oh?
Feels like it's been ages since I breathed in the Tokyo air!
Sorry.
You reek.
If they get to Tokyo... he'll...
Transform!
HQ says we don't need to worry about bringing them in, just take them out!
Don't do anything crazy, Godai!
Tokyo
