Yusuke Godai, report!
Yusuke Godai, what's happening?
What?
What's wrong?
Reversing.
Godai!
Reversing.
A era begins from zero on this empty planet.

Where are you hiding, Kuuga?!
Death from behind! I'm Me-Gyarido-Gi!
This is Ichijou. I'm at the Shiminato harbor. Unidentified Life Form #4 has defeated #24.
Please send back up to secure the area.
That was astonishing.
Yeah.
Who would have thought there'd be no damage.
What could this be...
Must be the horse armor.
What?
Like what Miss Sakurako translated.
A creature that looks like a bug andt can turn into horse armor.
So the TRCS was the 'horse'?
Well, there were no bikes in olden days.
But why did it stop all of a sudden?
Wait.
We need to check if there's any danger first.
It's fine. I mean look.
It has Kuuga's mark.
Yes.
Mr. Ichijou.
This is Sasayama.
What's wrong?
Erm...
Your mother has...
Your mother has collapsed.
My mother...
Anyway, I'm sorry but please connect me to Ms. Enokida.
I need to talk to her.
But!
It's all right, please hurry!
All right.
Creed
Nagoya West Hospital
Ichijou, it's me.
Ms. Enokida, I'm sorry but I'm going to need your help investigating something.
What?
It's the unidentified flying object.
Come again?
It's flown over to #4 and merged with his bike.
It is now completely moving it on its own.
I'd like you to check if it's dangerous.
I understand. I'll inspect it as soon as possible.
I'll leave it to you.
But is it really all right? Just taking it from the scene without permission?
You don't need to worry about that.
One more thing then...
How's your mom?
Mr. Ichijou...
She's all right.
Oh, did you hear?
#24 is dead and they seem to have found that flying object.
Metropolitan Police Joint Investigation Task Force HQ
Yes.
Sakurai and I are heading to the scene.
In any case, things are finally settling down a bit.
I wonder if I can take my daughter to her piano class later.
You're a good dad, right, Mr. Sugita?
Nah, just an ordinary one. See you later.
I'm heading back to Headquarters.
Wait a moment.
Wouldn't it be bad... if Mr. Ichijou was there?
What?
Couldn't we get someone to replace him? Like Mr. Sakurai or Mr. Kuribayashi?
You think he really wants to see his mother then?
Wouldn't it be heartless of him if he didn't?
You think so?
My father was a policeman too.
He was great at his job.
That's why my mother, even before he got sick and passed away, was always very lonely.
Oh.
Even if he's a police officer, isn't it a bit wrong to be this dedicated to your job?
He's not like that because he's a policeman.
Eh?
He's like that because Ichijou is just Ichijou. At least, that's what I think.
He's different from me.
I always feel tired when it comes to work so I try to avoid it.
In any case, we should believe in him.
See you.
Shinjuku Ward
The beast that flies through the sky has appeared.
Things are getting interesting.
Is it that powerful?
About that. How is Gyarido?
He hasn't come back yet.
Then get Gadora to come.
National Research Institute of Police Science, Chiba
Ichijou!
Ah, Ms. Enokida.
I made it just in time.
This thing is a bit beyond us.
Ichijou, you couldn't bring us something just a bit more normal?
So this person is #4? I wonder if something will happen.
Happy to be working with you!
Same here!
All the reported data will be sent here.
Now this is something worth investigating.
Could it be that she and Mr. Tsubaki are the same type?
Anyway, now that this case is closed shouldn't you be heading to Nagoya?
Nagoya?
Don't worry. It's nothing.
Could something have happened to your mom?
Yes, Ichijou's mother collapsed.
What?
It didn't seem serious so it should be okay, right?
I'm heading back to Headquarters.
What about you?
Could I stay here?
Sure.
Then I'll stay here until we get the results.
I see.
In that case...
Good bye.
Yep.
Bye.
Yeah.
If something happens, call me as soon as possible.
This is...
Jounan University Archeology Department
Jean! Welcome back.
Hey.
What's wrong?
I..
I can't face Mika.
I couldn't protect the things that her father left behind.
Yes?
Godai?
The horse armor actually appeared!
What?
It formed from those relics and it's stuck to my bike now.
The police are investigating it now.
Anything new on your end?
Oh... well...
According to the Linto text the 'bug' is supposedly a messenger from God.
Protect As A Horse
Horse Armor
Strong
Heroic
Servant
Horse
Retainer
Slave
So the fact that it looks like a bug is something to be happy about?
Pretty much.
Really? That's good.
I was already figuring it'd be something good.
See ya!
Cheer up, Jean!
Huh?
The relics were recovered by the police and they're investigating them now.
So they weren't lost, huh?
I'm sorry. Here you go.
How did it go?
Something incredible seems to have happened.
It's because of this that the motor was changed to something completely different.
Here, you can still see some of the original bike
It's a pity but I don't think it can change back into a motorcycle.
No, I think it can.
Why?
When I became blue Kuuga, this fence post became a weapon.
And when I changed back to my original form, it became a fence post again too.
This is obviously a good guy.
There are wires here!
Ah, sorry.
Who is he?
Why is he here?
Just now...
What happened?
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Pole Pole, Bunkyo Ward
Sorry!
I'm really sorry! But It's oriental!
Here you go! Namaste!
I'm on my way!
Is the coffee ready?
Coffee! Give me a second!
Yes!
Hello!
The place is full.
Minoritch! Thank goodness you came! Give me a hand!
No problem but where are Yusuke and Nana?
Yusuke is taking a drama class and Nana is riding her motorcycle. I don't know where she's off to.
Is that so?
Was that right?
It was wrong.
Shinkou, Chiba
This is strange.
Up until now, they've always left corpses behind.
There should at least be parts of a dead body.
Yet no matter where we look, we can't find anything.
Sugita, come over for a sec!
What is it?
This manhole was open.
It escaped through here?
I can just do it again.
So you've captured the unidentified flying object?
Metropolitan Police Headquarters, Chief's Office
Yes.
This is just a guess but...
We believe this to be a weapon made in ancient times for #4.
What?
It's still hard to say but would you allow me to take responsibility for this like with #4?
I can't decide that yet.
But...
#4 has currently defeated 21 of the 24 known Unidentified Life Forms.
This much is certain.
The two of you have led the action that has saved many police and civilians.
If that thing is anything like #4...
We will protect it as best as we can.
So don't worry about it.
Thank you very much!
Mr. Ichijou! We've just been informed that an Unidentified Life Form has stolen a truck and escaped.
What?
According to Sugita's report, the one that escaped is most likely #24.
What's going on?
National Research Institute of Police Science, Chiba
After you touched it, it suddenly came alive and started giving off energy.
Hello?
Ichijou? Well just now...
What? An Unidentified Life Form?
Give it to me!
It's me!
#24 escaped through the sewers and killed five men. It's now escaping in a truck.
It's still alive?
Unfortunately.
It is now in the Sumida area.
Got it!
But...
It healed itself?
Sorry, but I need this for a bit!
It fried our equipment!
Yusuke Godai!
He's currently moving towards the fourteenth train line. If he keeps going, he'll pass under the bridge soon.
All right, I'll ambush him on the way!
Taito Ward
This time you're dead!
He ran again?!
He's going to ram him?
He... ran... ki... kill Kuuga...
Mr. Ichijou.
Huh?
Why?
I guess we have no choice but to take it to Headquarters again for further investigation.
By the way, are you okay?
Yeah.
Good thing you didn't go to Nagoya the other day.
What would you have done if something had happened while I was away?
I know.
Let me handle the rest. You go and take a rest.
Okay.
Bye.
You can only call the hospital your mother works at until 8 o'clock you know.
Metropolitan Police Joint Investigation Task Force HQ
Head Nurse.
Thank you.
Hello?
It's me.
Ah.
Is it good for a Head Nurse to be sick?
What about you? Since when do policemen have this much free time?
I guess you're right.
Told you.
That's how it is.
I make a pillow out of my heavy luggage.

So, I'm number 25?
#25 has attacked a squad of policemen in Ikebukuro.
Got it!

Kuuga...
Yusuke Godai, come with me.
The warrior with the spirit of water defeats his enemies using long weapons!
He'll be the same as them. A living weapon who exists only to fight.
It'd be great if he was a good guy.
