Ten years ago...
10 Years Ago
Our nation was able to land a manned vehicle on Mars, for the first time.
There, we found a mysterious artifact... Pandora's Box.
That was the beginning of our nightmare.
Himuro Gentoku
Touto Prime Minister's Aide
The Sky Wall Tragedy...
Even today, we are still living in the aftermath of this disaster.
The mysteries of outer space...
Celebrating
Martian Expedition Prominence's Return
Humanity has dreamed of, and pursued the key to solve them for ages.
And today we are taking a step towards that solution.
We at Project Prominence are here to announce a major breakthrough.
This object, which we believe is the product of some form of civilization,
has been brought from Mars to Japan...
What the...?
Stop!
Hold it! Wait!
Don't do it! Freeze!
A strange light came from the ceremony celebrating the return of the Martian expedition...
It suddenly resulted in the appearance of a giant wall.
It was named the Sky Wall.
It split the nation in three parts, each with its own capital.
Hokuto in the north, whose focus is on social welfare.
Hokuto
Seito in the west, pursuing economic recovery.
Seito
Touto in the east, which adheres to traditional pacifism.
Touto
The things that divided us deepened, and our country was torn apart.
Foreign powers, like vultures, are looking for the chance to annex the capital regions.
Before that happens, we need to decode the mystery of that box.
So this is Pandora's Box?!
I've never seen material like this before!
What's it made of?
What's this made of?
He was asking if we had any mid-level research positions available...
We gave him our test just in case, and he got a perfect score.
Utsunami Nariaki
Himuro Gentoku's Assistant
On a difficult test like that...?
Excuse me...
Lastly, can I get your thoughts on this Kamen Rider?
We have reports from all over Touto,
about attacks on citizens from unidentified life forms, called Smash.
Takigawa Sawa
Freelance Journalist
These citizens have presumably been saved by a mysterious hero named Kamen Rider.
Now, that is fascinating...
Why don't we discuss this hero of yours in the hotel next door, all night?
That creepy aide! What's he thinking?!
What do you mean "Can you still make it to that hotel"?
Chief!
Ow...
Sorry...
A Smash?
Hang on.
READY, GO!
VORTEX BREAK!
There...
Good.
Kamen Rider...

This is terrible...

This is terrific!
Okay, good work!
So, what's this? A hedgehog?
Don't know...
Don't care...
Isurugi Misora
Tired...
Want my money...
Sleepy...
I wonder what I'll be able to do with this?
Can't wait to test it!
I have to say, my invention is really terrific!
I can take the essence from monsters, and turn it into a power up for Build!
Of course, that's all thanks to your power, Misora...
But my technology, which lets you tap into your full potential, honestly deserves praise...
You little...
Isurugi Souichi
Caffé "nascita"'s Owner
Buongiorno, Sento!
You scared me...
Here. The fruits of last night's labor.
Bravo!
Thank you so much, my dear daughter.
So, have you remembered anything?
Remember what?
Your memories!
The twenty-plus years of memories that you are missing!
Scientists in gas masks...
Human experimentation...
Some kind of bat man...
So nothing new, huh?
Isn't finding that bat guy the only reason you're doing this Build thing?
What am I supposed to do?
I've been turning the Smash back to normal, but they don't remember a thing.
For the record, you've got a year's worth of rent built up.
What do you mean, rent?!
When did that happen?!
It's kind of obvious.
You may be an amnesiac, but I can't just give you a room for free.
I'm not a saint, y'know.
Is that why you suggested I work at that lab?!
It's your first day, right?
Don't you have somewhere else to be?
Crap!
Well...
That's what you might think, but to that I say...
Ta-da!
What's that? You gonna call in sick?
Yeah, exactly. Hello?
Of course not!
It's an invention of mine.
BUILD CHANGE!
Well? Amazing, right?!
Terrific, isn't it?! Am I a genius or what?!
Now, to the lab. Let's...
...not go anywhere right now. You're still inside the cafe.
Banjou Ryuuga
Fugitive detected.
You answered every question on our test correctly, right?
That's incredible.
But we were wondering about the "A physicist, probably" part of your resume...

That's because of the amnesia.
Are you serious...?
Well, whatever.
I'd like you to work on figuring out this thing.
The Martian artifact, known commonly as Pandora's Box.
There's said to be a type of energy source more potent than nuclear inside.
That's amazing.
There must've been a civilization far more advanced than Earth's...
What about the Sky Wall Tragedy?
I've read about it.
The Sky Wall popped up after a flash of light during the Mars mission return ceremony.
It's not just the wall.
The Box also altered the behavior of everyone present.
It was like it tapped into some sort of aggressive impulse.
As a result, our country was torn in three over this potentially massive energy source.
What is it?
Let me get confirmation...
An inmate from Touto Central Prison in area C4 has escaped.
Former Martial Artist Escapes Prison
Banjou Ryuuga
Age 23
The suspect's name is Banjou Ryuuga, 23 years old.
Banjou Ryuuga...
He's presumed to have assassinated Mr. Katsuragi Takumi,
Murdered Katsuragi Takumi
Guardians destroyed by Banjou
This guy killed one of our researchers.
and went on to kill his research assistants.
So he's escaped...
A group of Guardians was able to locate him during their search this morning...
That's incredible... Hard to believe a human was responsible.
YOU'VE GOT MAIL!
He's destroyed the assets that were sent to retrieve him, and is on the run again.

Banjou Ryuuga. A former pro-fighter.
He got banned for life, for fight fixing.
He then got a 10-year sentence for murdering a scientist, one year ago.
The sensors are reacting, but there's no reports of a monster.
Maybe he just hasn't turned into a Smash yet?
I've hacked the GPS data for the motorcycle that Banjou stole. I'll send it over.
Touto Central Stadium
Whoa!
Who the hell are you?!
Just here to bring in a murderer, namely you.
I didn't kill anybody!
Do you realize how unconvincing that sounds, from a fugitive?
I didn't run because I wanted to!
Then why not just go back to jail?
I can't!
If I go back, they're gonna get me again...
They?
You already said you wouldn't believe me!
Not bad, Mr. former pro-fighter.
But...
I'm about to take a slightly different approach.
That strength...
You...
Did those gas mask freaks get to you, too?
Or are you on their side?
Gas masks?
Don't play dumb!
They turned me into a damned guinea pig!
Gas masks and human experimentation...
What do you mean?
What's there to explain?!
Some bald-headed guard got the drop on me in jail...
Touto Central Prison
Get off me!
Let me go, please!
Let me outta here!
Is that all true?!
Then you must've seen the bat man, too.
A man wearing a black suit, with a bat design.
I don't know!
What is that thing...?
A Smash.
Smash?
A person in a monstrous form, with violent tendencies.
They can't be reasoned with unless you beat them!
Fighting a Smash barehanded...
You've got real guts.
I'll take it from here.
Now, let's begin the experiment.
RABBIT! TANK!
BEST MATCH!
ARE YOU READY?
Transform!
THE FULLMETAL MOONSAULT!
RABBITTANK!
YEAH!
What the heck...?
I've found the winning formula.
HEDGEHOG!
ARE YOU READY?
Build Up!
Poke! Poke! Poke!
And now, the finishing touch.
RABBITTANK!
YEAH!
One sec.
READY, GO!
VORTEX FINISH!
YEAH!
Amazing...
Good.
You saw those gas mask freaks?
What are you talking about?
Where am I...?
Who... am I...?
What is this place?!
Don't play dumb!
It's true.
This guy's like me, they did something to our bodies!
You gotta believe me!
If what you say is true...
Those experiments were to turn people into Smash.
So, you're Kamen Rider...
I've heard about you.
Hand the murderer, Banjou Ryuuga, over to us.
I didn't kill anybody!
I might be stupid as hell, and a piece of trash...
But I would never do that.
Why...?
Why won't anyone believe me?!
This is terrible...
I'm gonna regret this day, for sure...
BUILD CHANGE!
Get on.
Get! On!
Get off!
Move!
I want them brought in!
Dead or alive, doesn't matter. Don't let them get away!
Chancellor, if they die...
It doesn't matter!
We don't need toys that break this easily.
Target acquired.
Switch with me!
What?!
Eyes in front!
YEAH!
Great, now I'm a fugitive too.
Why did you save me?
Because I believed you. That's really it.
The truly stupid don't think of themselves as such.
I don't think you're a liar.
Your fly is open, though.
YEAH!
Seriously?!
Since when?!
Since like, the beginning.
Why didn't you say something?!
When was I supposed to? Figure it out yourself, stupid.
Who are you calling stupid?!
You just said that I wasn't stupid!
I'm gonna fall! Quit it, stupid!
I'm not stupid, dammit!
The war has begun.

Looks like Kamen Rider is now a wanted fugitive.

I just found a best match for my memories.
