The fateful meeting between a boy and girl, and their eventual parting...
This melody complements this sad love story wonderfully...
My fellow Kamen Riders...
Behold, for we would revolutionize the very history of the world!
Watch as I, the one who knows no boundaries...
...display the talents of a god!
Genm's missing?
Yeah. He vanished along with the Bugvisor and Proto Gashats CR were watching over.
So Genm broke out of his prison, then...?
Breaking out of that prison is impossible.
A third party may have been involved in his disappearance.
Contact me if you find Dan Kuroto.
That bastard...
By the way, is everything well with your hospital?
Yeah.
All thanks to the new medicine Lazer developed.
So, how's your hospital doing?
Any developments in the research for reviving those who were erased?
We're working with the regenerative medicine department and making progress.
The process may be time-consuming, but one day...
I hope you can see your girlfriend again someday.
I'll make it happen. Just wait and see.
Hey Doc, I'm done with the paperwork.
I'm so hungry I could die!
It's late. You can go home now.
Let's order some pizza! Your shout, Taiga. I'll have the most expensive one.
Stick to your snacks, kid.
Stop treating me like a child. I'm a grown-up now.
Hello hello!
I've finally found you, Nico!
Luke? Why are you here?
Luke Kidman
To totally destroy you, duh.
Come on!
Thanks for your hard work, see you tomorrow!
Hey, Nico!
What's wrong?
Hey! Are you all right?
Hey, pull yourself together!
The game illness...
Seito University Hospital Centre for Regenerative Medicine
I hear there is a new development in your research, Dr Yaotome.
Yes...
After investigating every possibility, my team propose this as our only possible approach.
Seito University Hospital Centre for Regenerative Medicine
Yaotome Saiko
We would suggest reconstructing the genes of the erased— that is, the human's— from their Bugster.
Reconstructing human genes from Bugsters?
Is such a thing possible?
I've always had my suspicions.
I've always wondered, "why does the Bugster possess its host's memories?"
Because the host's genetic info is within the Bugster's body!
Not necessarily in its original form, but yes.
If we could just find a way to repair those genes...
It would pave the way to restoring the bodies of those who were erased!
Exactly. You two catch on quickly.
Man! You're a quick one, aren't you!
As expected from our authority in genetics, Yaotome Saiko!
I'll report to you again when we find any results.
I'll be counting on you from here on out.
Dr Kagami...
How does dinner afterwards sound?
I'd love to have a nice long chat with our young genius surgeon.
Thank you for the offer, but...
...I'll have to say "no thank you" today.
Not even our hospital's most beautiful lady doctor could move him, huh?
His heart is still set on his lost girlfriend, y'see.
Oh, that's too bad...
Hiiro.
Saki... Why are you here?
Please, wait!
Could I have one— no, two of the frosted cakes, please?
Thanks for always coming by. Long day at work?
Oh, it's nothing. It's just that you asked for two today...
Well, that might be it.
- I'll pack them up for you right away. -Thanks.
I can't believe I hallucinated Saki...
But, I haven't forgotten her, even for one second.
It feels like it was just yesterday...
At least look at me when we're together!
What's the point of me being here, then?
Saki...?
Saki!
You never told me anything about your illness!
Why didn't you?!
Hiiro...
Become the world's best doctor...
Please, Saki... Look at me.
Become the world's best doctor...
You're so close, and yet...
Now, your wish will never be granted.
Become the world's best doctor...
Saki...
Hiiro.
No...
This is just exhaustion, nothing more.
So you've come to eat sweets now, have you?
This isn't just a hallucination!
Saki!
Why are you here?
You!
It's been a while, hasn't it...
...Dr Kagami?
How...? You were completely erased!
Love creates miracles.
Let's leave it at that.
By the way, my motto is...
"...from all around the world; I Miss You."
I am... Amagasaki Ren!
"I Miss You..."
From all around the world
Forget about me, Hiiro.
I'm going to stay by his side from now on.
Did you brainwash Saki? What are you up to?!
You're creasing my favorite suit!
All I've done is capture the girl's heart with my charms.
Don't give me that!
You haven't changed at all.
Only the lowest of men resort to violence.
The Bugvisor...!
Why do you have it?!
Cultivate.

Saki!

Short-tempered as always, I see!
Have you forgotten?
In my romance game...
...using violence will never...
...get you your happy ending!
CLICK TO SAVE!
Frustrated, are you? Being a little more charming would work wonders.
Come to your senses, Saki!
I've worked so hard these last two years just so I could see you again!
There has to be a way to bring you back with regenerative medicine! There has to be!
I've been searching for so long!
I did all of this, Saki...
...so I could make you smile again!
But in the end, you didn't do anything for me.
She's given up on you.
Let's go, my honey.
Wait!
Hey, why's he here again?
He's been infected by Lovelica's game illness.
Lovelica's? But wasn't he completely erased?
Lovelica must have been freed from his temporal death when Cronus was erased.
So you mean, someone went and revived Lovelica?
Who knows?
What is he to you?
He's a gamer I went hard against a bunch of times in tournaments in America, years ago.
A gamer?
He hasn't beaten me once, so he started seeing me as his rival.
He's a bit like you when you first came here.
There's someone I need you to totally wreck.
Who the hell are you?
Nico. Saiba Nico.
You can take him down, right?
That genius gamer M, I mean.
Don't lump him and me together.
There was no vaccine developed for Lovelica. We need to find him and defeat him, quick.
It's been two years since I transformed, huh...
But he's a Bugster from a romance game, right?
You can't win by fighting him the usual way.
I have a way.
Has anyone found anything regarding Dan Kuroto's disappearance?
We've made an inquiry with the Ministry, but they have no leads.
That's not possible!
Someone must be secretly pulling the strings.
Well, about that...
Just before Kuroto disappeared, we cleared a puzzle game he developed.
A puzzle game?
That's right.
I cleared it with Parad.
If that game were a trap, then...
You mean, it was a game that would let Kuroto escape?
I figured as much.
So he really did orchestrate this.
Why would you go and...
Did something happen, Hiiro?
You're acting a little weird...
It's not something you two should be concerned about.
Did Lovelica revive Saki?
If this was all part of Dan Kuroto's plan, then...
Just what are you after?
I think it's about time you told us, don't you agree?
I'd like to know how you revived the girl and I.
Nothing is too difficult for my godly talents.
Be it releasing the girl's locked data...
...or re-cultivating your virus, and using it to infect a new patient.
What are you plotting?
Three games are needed to revolutionize the history of our world.
The first... is on you.
I can't say that making Brave suffer is exactly revolutionary.
I'm not after Dr Kagami.
My true target is... the other one.
The time limit for your romance game ends at midnight.
That's when the princess' spell breaks, and she is erased.
And if you don't become a complete being by then, you will meet the same end.
You truly are a disgusting little man.
Ren.
Your food's getting cold.
Yes, you're right.
Nico.
Don't say you've forgotten about our promise?
What are you talking about?
You promised to go out with me if I ever beat you at a game!
Are you afraid of losing to me now? Is that why you ran away?
As if! And don't treat me like some sort of prize!
Stop it!
He's a patient!
Let go!
Nico... I've thought about you and only you, all these years.
I've worked hard to beat you and make you mine.
I couldn't bear to think about life without you!
Luke...
Don't think too much about it! Letting the stress build is dangerous!
I'll be honest. The Nico now isn't the real you!
You shine the most when you're gaming!
You feel the same way, don't you?
I don't want to hear that from you.
Hey, wait.
Is the present me really not the true me?
Why aren't you saying anything?
Don't ask me that.
An unexpected rival for her love has appeared!
So you are back. I'll beat you to a pulp.
You really think you can beat me,
when you don't even understand a girl's delicate heart?
Do you really have what it takes to capture Saiba Nico's heart?
Shut up!
Adieu!
That bastard...
Your noodles are getting soggy.
Have we met before?
We've worked together a few times during practicals...
Oh, of course.
You concentration is really impressive, Kagami.
You don't seem interested in anything but studying.
But of course.
Even if I studied 24/7, I still wouldn’t reach my goal of holding a scalpel in my hands soon enough.
Amazing... It's like you were born to be a doctor.
Don't forget about your food, Kagami.
You're... Momose, was it?
You finally remembered me!
You won't last through the afternoon lesson if you don't eat.
I'll dig in, then.
Are you trying to eat it like poke...?
Well, you're eating the miso mackerel with a knife and fork...
I'm preparing myself for a real operation.
You really don't waste a single second, do you, Kagami?
Saki...
KAMEN RIDER CHRONICLE!
CLICK AND LOAD!
ENTER THE GAME! RIDING THE END!
I need more power...!
What did you want to talk about?
I looked into Dan Kuroto's disappearance and found eyewitness reports of someone... interesting.
This here's a map of the places a Bugster called Lovelica frequents.
Show me!
Emu told me some stuff.
You're hiding something, aren'tcha, Doc?
You're no good at lying at all.
How 'bout I lend you a hand?
Lovelica's an important clue that will help us catch Dan Kuroto, after all.
Yes?
Brave, help! Taiga's— He's—!
Hey, hang in there!
Got it, I'll be over right away.
What's up?
I'll deal with this.
Hey!
Dr Kagami?
My apologies!
Seems he had to attend to an emergency.
I'll be representing CR at the conference today.
Dr Kagami sure is popular.
From the looks of things, he'll be following his father's footsteps to become Hospital Director, huh?
Oh, so that's why you've got your sights set on our Doc?
Don't get the wrong idea.
I just feel sympathy for him.
When I was young, I often watched my father work, too.
Your father was a doctor, too?
That's right. I pursued regenerative medicine because of my father's influence.
You don't say? Your father must be proud to have such an excellent daughter.
If only that were so.
This is...!
It looks like Taiga activated this Gashat that he had hidden away.
He's had this all these years.
What's the meaning of this?!
So I could have... complete immunity...
If I have the power of Cronus, I can beat Lovelica...
He only appeared recently! That can't be your only reason.
With the power of Cronus...
...we could revive your girlfriend.
Saki!
How can we return Saki's consciousness to her?
With the power of Cronus, it is possible.
You kept it to revive Saki?
But wasn't her data completely erased?
The data came back...
When Cronus used Reset, remember...?
I alone am the law of this world!
RESET!
I get it!
Stop this nonsense!
Saki's already been revived.
However, she's been brainwashed by Lovelica.
Did you see Lovelica? Where is he?!
Don't worry. Leave your patient's operation to me.
Wait!
Just stay put and go to sleep, Taiga!
You need to rest!
I'll do the operation!
You need to rest! You're sick!
Taiga! You can't push your body like that!
If I have the power of Cronus, I can beat Lovelica.
I can get your girlfriend back, too!
Why are you so concerned with Saki?
I got to live because you gave up on the chance to revive your girlfriend.
I am the world's best doctor.
I will never abandon someone who's fighting for their life.
That's why I have a responsibility to save her.
This is my problem!
It's got nothing to do with you.
Your girlfriend was originally my patient.
This is my problem, too!
Get him to rest, and make sure he doesn't move.
If you're going to go no matter what I say,
then I guess I'll just have to take your Gashat.

She's not my patient anymore.
She's just a part-timer.
I have...
...nothing left to lose.
You're both idiots, you know that right?!
Leave me be!
You'll never change, will you?
You really gonna do this all by yourself again?
You should just worry about yourself.
I can't do that. I have my job at this hospital.
You're fired.
It's time to stop playing doctor.
Have you brought what you promised?
I have, but...
H-Hey! What are you going to do with that, Taiga?
Just give it to me!
Hand it over!
What are you going to use it for? Stop it, Taiga!
Shut up and just give it to me! Give it here!
What is it?
Hiiro! It's Taiga, he—...!
What did he do?!
No man alive can trump my charms.
I'll captivate all the ladies of this planet.
Oh, how sinful I am!
The patient will be erased shortly,
and I shall become a complete being.
My princess....
Let us exchange a kiss of fortune and bliss.
At midnight tonight, your spell will break and you will disappear.
I'll stay with you to the very end.
Okay.

Please...

Hey!
What have you done to my beloved honey?!
- Hang in there!
Unforgivable!
I won't forgive you for making her suffer in her final moments!
You reckless fiend!
Shut it!
She isn't yours!
Hah, nice try.
But, even if you hurt my body, you cannot break my heart with violence!
You're one tough bastard.
CLICK TO SAVE!
This is what you get for ignoring my advice.
You never even tried to capture Saiba Nico's heart.
Hang in there, Luke! Are you okay?!
Nico...
I don't think I can—
You were gonna beat me, right?
Then don't give up!
Nico...
I'll... go to America.
I'll accept your challenge.
Because... that's what the real me would do.
I won't lose to any man who can't capture a lady's heart!
Go to hell all by your sad, lonely self.
This is farewell.
Y-You...!
I'll be taking over this operation.
Brave?!
You tried to save Saki...
Now it's my turn.
I'll save your patient.
Give up! An insensitive man who doesn't understand a girl's delicate heart could never beat me.
Saki...
I'm really sorry.
I'm sorry for getting too caught up in my studies...
...and ignoring you the way I did.
It's too late for regrets now!
Once you hurt a lady's heart, you can never get it back!

You don't have to apologize.
From the moment we met, you were just... you.
Becoming a doctor was the only thing on your mind.
I respected that side of you, and wanted to stay by your side, but...
Maybe, the truth was that... I didn't believe in you.
Saki...!
But now...
...I do, from the bottom of my heart.
So from now, keep your eyes on your own life, and the future ahead of you...
I'll be cheering for you, always.
Just you wait, Saki.
I'll become the man you believe I can be.
I'll become...
...the world's best doctor!
The Rider Chronicle...
Where did it go...?
Good work, Lovelica.
With this, my goal has been achieved.
Thank you!
Thank you for taking such great care of me.
Take care.
Okay, Nico, I'll wait for you outside.
Feels like a weight off my shoulders, knowing I won't have to look after you anymore.
That's what I should be saying to you.
Eating all those snacks isn't good for you.
Not like you have anything left to lose, right?
Well, call me if you run into any trouble.
No matter where you go...
...I'll still be your doctor.
So, when I catch a cold, you gotta fly over to America.
I'll expect you to be there 30 minutes after I call.
As if! What am I, the pizza delivery guy?
Here.
Bye bye!
Bang!
Geez...
You can finally move on now, huh?
This is just the beginning.
There's still a lot we have to do if we want to revive those who were erased.
Come on in.
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
Huh? Where's Dr Saiko?
Oh, she has some urgent business to attend to and couldn't make it.
You really are such a bad man.
Who else could take advantage of Hanaya Taiga's conviction as a doctor as you have?
This Gashat is vital in obtaining Cronus' power, after all.
I'll need it to recreate Rider Chronicle's master Gashat.
So you can retrieve the data of the one being kept inside of it, right?
Now, begin the operation.
Let's begin revolutionizing the history of our world, shall we?!
Here's to reaching heights mankind has never been capable of reaching.
