It's me, Shouma!
An odd-jobs prez took me in. Her name was Sachika-san.
She was really generous,
but I ended up scaring a friend of hers, after saving her from a Granute.
"Is that a monster!?"
So I bailed before I got unmasked.
Now my next horizon awaits!
My harvest for last month.
J-Jeebh-sama!
That's a nice smile.
You've always been good at finding us the finest of spices.
Jeebh-sama, another one of our part-timers has vanished.
That so?
Let's hope you're good enough to fill in for our missing friend as well!
You can count of me!
I can't get enough of these!
So? What did you want to talk about?
This guy ring any bells?
Can't be a Granute, right...?
We'd have heard rumours about someone so bizzare-looking.
Right?
So it's gotta be-
- a human? - a human?
- No way... - No way...
- Look into something for us, will you? - Look into something for us, will you?
Very well.
This is my last buy.
"small token of gratitude"
What should I get? This? Or That?
- Who even gets that worked up about snacks...? - Here you go!
- Thank you! - You're most welcome!
Nice... It's gotta be this!
Hehe, I can finally fill my tummy a little...
Oi, what the hell was that for!?
Oh! I'm so sor-
Huh? Wha- Hey!

Episode 3 - The sinful taste of a soda punch
Thanks for the food.
Yum!
What's this called?
Huh? Pretty obviously a nori-ben, ain't it?
Nori-ben?
I'll remember that, thanks!
You broke or something?
Yeah, I used the last of my cash, recently-
On these.
Oi, aren't these all snacks?
There's more to come, actually!
See?
I wanna try marshmallows, soft-creams, and-
Dumbass!
- This, and this- - Sure thing.
Eat this.
You gotta have rice, meat and veges to get energy!
No wonder you flopped over.
I do?
Snacks are for when you're feelin' peckish-
or when you're celebrating or feelin' down? THEN you eat a ton of them.
"Feeling down"?
"I could really go for some potato chips right now..."
I see... That makes sense.
Thanks for the meal!
Feelin' peppy now?
Kidding. Takes a while, usually.
Ah-
Let me help!
Don't-
There we go.
'The hell...?
It worked just like you said! Thanks, mister!
Hey, I got a job you could help with!
I'll even split the dosh!
A job? That'd be great!
What kind of job is it?
The kind that'll bring us happy times!
I'll help!
- Come with me! - Okay!
I'll toss that out for you.
Apparently they're starting to call this bike-riding one Kamen Rider,
and there's a monster saving people from other monsters, or something.
And which one's which?
Don't know yet...
There weren't any clear eyewitness accounts.
Still, one of them...
could even be my mother's-
Slow down. You've got leads, not evidence.
Right you are.
Sorry, nothing much has happened since you first believed my story, after all.
Listen, Hanto.
Do you even have a plan once you've pinpointed your mother's murderer?
You're facing an actual monster.
I don't.
Honestly, I'd prefer if you didn't get tangled up in dicey stuff-
speaking as your foster dad of sorts...
Chief...
So I say, having dragged you into this profession!
Got that right! How many dicey stories have you had me chase already, huh?
Hey, hey, hey- You wanna go, huh?!
Hello, Yamada-san? We're here to inspect your water pipes.
That's weird, we're on time for the appointment.
Wait, what if Yamada-san's collapsed inside?
That's really bad!
Yamada-san!?
Could you get the door open, big man?
I'll try!
Yamada-san?!
Yamada-san?
Yamada-san? Where could you have collapsed...?
Can you hear me?!
I can't find anyone, mister.
What are you doing?
That's it?
Isn't that money?
- There's gotta be a safe somewhere... - Hang on!
Doesn't that belong to the house's owner?!
Shut up and just wait!
No! This is just robbery!
- Hey. - I love this stuff!
- Oh, it's Hanty! Welcome! - Cut it out with the "Hanty". It's Hanto!
Cut it out!
We aren't even friends! It should be "Karakida-san", more like.
- Where's the harm, Mr. regular? - I've only commissioned you three times!
- Three times makes you a regular 'round here! - Someone's got too much free time as usual.
I got another little SNS investigation for you.
What's the scoop? A celebrity?
Seen this before?
I have actually- in person, even!
- When you got attacked by that monster? - For real?! Where abouts?! When?!
Last week? I felt this slimey thing, then blacked out.
Next thing I know, this one was front and center.
"Slimey"?
Yup. So naturally I freaked out all "waaaah, a monster!!"-
but it just buggered off with a "take care, yeah?".
Eh? Doesn't seem so bad, then.
- Maybe it actually saved you? - You reckon?
- Oh no, I'm swooning! - Reckon it could work?
Why were you stealing, mister?
I wanted to repay my old man.
Your father?
He ain't my dad, but he gave my useless ass food when I was lost and needed it most.
He's been havin' trouble keeping his company afloat.
So I figured it was finally my turn to pay him back!
I just need the dosh to do it!
- But you'd trouble someone else to do it! - Why should I care about that!?
But-
You just need to SHUT UP and do what I say!
I gave you grub, didn't I?!
Just so I would help you steal from others?
I should've just left you.
Later.
Mister-
Can you watch him for me?
I gotta find my next target, quick...
If it's quality spice they want, I might as well make it myself-
the spice of happiness.
This'll do it! I can finally help the old man!
One more dash of happiness, coming right up!
What a nice smile.
The happier these humans are, the more special spice we can extract out of them.
Quality spices make for quality treats.
Now's the time for snacks, right?
A soda one?
Yum...
*fizz*
Wow! This is what soda tastes like?!
Oh man!
Hi! You're a new one, aren't you?
Should I have helped him?
No. I shouldn't commit crimes just because he helped me.
I finally broke free, after all.
Don't just randomly stop on a road, I almost ran you over!
You were a Stomach Inc. goon all this time?
Who the hell are you?
Shame, I enjoyed your bento.
Let that man go!
Ahh, you were the human palling around with this one?
What a pain.
I'll have you join him despite the low quality.
GUMMY!
EAT GUMMY!
Henshin!
POPPINGUMMY! JUICY!
Right... I heard the rumours of my fellow part-timers going missing.
YOU'RE the reason, huh?!
That's right!
I'm saving humans from the likes of you!
The one called "Kamen Rider" is probably the one killing the monsters...
Does that mean...Kamen Rider might be human?
What's up?
Kamen Rider's been spotted over in Mitsuo!
It got stronger?!
Thanks for beefing up my arms!
POPPINGUMMY! JUICY!
There they are... monsters... actual monsters!
I've finally found the real deal!
SNACK!
EAT SNACK!
ZAKUZAKU CHIPS!
CRISP & CRUNCH!
- Let's do this!
- What the- it changed form...?
This'll work!
Let's see how you like this!
GUMMY! EAT GUMMY!
POPPINGUMMY! JUICY!
Ow...!
You're-
Soda, huh?
I'm counting on you!
GUMMY! EAT GUMMY!
GUMMY!
EAT GUMMY!
PUNCHINGUMMY!
*fizz*
Nice! Now I can match him punch-for-punch!
CHARGE ME! CHARGE ME!
What'll it be?
You can either drop Dark Treats for good, or I can beat you into the ground.
I'll never quit Dark Treats!
"Dark Treats"?
Your choice.
*fizz*
PUNCHINGUMMY PUNCH!
*fizz*
Woah...!
Huh? Where's my money?
What the hell are you!?
Some kind of monster!?
Stop doing bad stuff, you hear me?
Oi!
Are you... a human?
Are you a Granute as well?
Or some other organism?! Lemme examine you!
- Beat it old man! - H-hang on...
- And who are you, brat? - Hah!?
I've got important-
Crap, I'm gonna get unmasked...
- I finally found one and you ruined it!! - That's MY line!
Who even are you?!
I research Granutes.
"Granutes"?
I'm sorry.
Our company's gone under, as of today.
Thanks for all your hard work, up until now.
Old man...
I'm so sorry for not being able to repay you...!
Idiot!
I didn't pick you off the streets looking for a reward!
"Just so I would help you steal from others?"
I'm so sorry, Nii-chan...
Come on, you'd better go apologise to Yamada-san again.
Okay...
Please look.
- I knew it, that's a red Gavv! - I knew it, that's a red Gavv!
Next time on Kamen Rider Gavv:
They abduct humans to use as spices for these treats.
I've wanted to try these!
A human is no family of ours.
Episode 4 - An extra helping of marshmallows!
So, what'll it be?
