“If you want to change the world, you have to fight.” Ace Ukiyo (浮世 英寿, Ukiyo Ēsu) simply stated, as he pulled out the Water Raise Buckle, inserting it into the right side of the Desire Driver.
Keiwa Sakurai (桜井 景和, Sakurai Keiwa) looked at Ace, wondering for a moment what his words had meant, before he was suddenly interrupted by the formation of the manifestation of Armed Water’s emblem just slightly to Ace’s right, which ejected a torrent of water that forcefully sent Keiwa reeling. All the while, Ace prepared his transformation pose, readying himself with the snap of a finger.
“Henshin!” Ace then pulled on the faucet of the Water Raise Buckle, activating it as the emblem behind him spun repeatedly, forming another torrent of water that begun to form the Rider’s armour.
Around Ace, his Entry Raise Form’s armour began to manifest, surrounding in a black film, before the armour formation devices materialised, injecting the top half of Armed Water’s armour — consisting of the Armed Geats Head, Shoulder Shell and Cyan Overplate — into his suit.
Armed Water! Ready, fight.
アームドウォーター！レディー、ファイト。
Āmudo Uōtā! Redī, faito.
----------------------------------------
This was Kamen Rider Geats (仮面ライダーギーツ, Kamen Raidā Gītsu)’ Armed Water (アームドウォーター, Āmudo Uōtā) form.
Both Geats and the Jyamato charged at each other, the Rider quickly parrying an attack from the monster using the Raise Water that had just been summoned. However, the two sides seemed to be pretty much evenly matched when it came to melee capabilities, the two parties easily able to not only tank the other’s hits, but also dish out hits of their own.
That seemed to change, however, as Geats then turned on the tap on the Raise Water, as it released multiple pipes that dug into the water beneath the Rider, charging it up with the blue liquid. Geats was quickly to adapt to this new feature that he obviously knew about, firing a pressurised jet of water that collided with the Jyamato, sending it flying back onto the ground nearby the waterfall where they were fighting.
Geats also did the same, the two combatants continuing to remain evenly matched, as Keiwa watched the battle unfolding, going back to deliberating on the words that Ace had mentioned earlier.
“To change the world…” Keiwa muttered to himself, as he pulled out the Boost Raise Buckle that he’d obtained as a mission drop, staring at it for a brief moment. “…I have to fight…”
As he prepared to transform with the Boost Raise Buckle, however, Geats called out to him from afar, prefacing his message with a brief, “Let me borrow that!”
Keiwa looked at the Rider with an incredulous confusion, as the latter continued to combat the Jyamato, briefly pinned to a tree. “For the future of the children!”
The wielder of the Boost Raise Buckle stared at it, unsure on whether to use it himself, or to provide it to Geats to assist the Rider in his battle. After a careful moment of deliberation, he nodded to himself ever-so-slightly, before he then threw the Boost Raise Buckle in the direction of Geats, who continued to fight the Jyamato.
“Okay!”
Geats quickly diverted his attention from fighting the Jyamato and ran in the direction of Keiwa, who’d thrown the Boost Raise Buckle at him. Grabbing the Boost Raise Buckle, he quickly inserted it into the side of the Desire Driver that was empty, as behind him, a manifestation of Boost’s emblem formed, just slightly to his left.
Set!
セット！
Setto!
Pulling on the grip of the Boost Raise Buckle, it ejected a stream of fire from its exhaust that blocked the nearby Jyamato — who’d recovered from the hit and charged in the Rider’s direction — from attacking, sending him flying backwards. Behind Geats, the armour formation devices materialised, injecting the bottom half of Boost’s armour — consisting of the Red Zone Leg, Boost Discharger NA and Boost Kicker — into his suit in the process.
Dual On! Boost~ Armed Water! Ready, fight.
デュアルオン！ブースト・アームドウォーター！レディー、ファイト。
De~yuaru On! Būsuto~ Āmudo Uōtā! Redī, faito.
Holding the Raise Water in his right arm, Geats readied himself to jump back into the fray, an almost-cocky smirk developing beneath the mask. This was his Armed Water Boost (アームドウォーターブースト, Āmudo Uōtā Būsuto) form. “Now, here come the highlights.”
<< OST >>
“Magnum Shooter” | マグナムシューター

“Get him!” Keiwa called from afar, as Geats charged in the direction of the Jyamato who was still recoiling from the attack he’d taken from the Rider, before the red fox jumped upwards, landing a kick on the monster.
At the same time, the exhausts on his lower body armour fired up, before boosting his kick, sending the monster flying into the air ever-so-slightly. Immediately afterwards, he sent the Raise Water in the direction of the Jyamato, hurling it like a javelin as it crashed into the tree behind him, impaled firmly and squarely. Geats, not one to lose momentum, rushed towards the Jyamato who dodged the attack, executing a flurry of repeated kicks that resulted with the Jyamato entering the range of the Raise Water’s blast.
Geats jumped backwards, his right leg pulling on the trigger of the Raise Water, as he executed a punch with his right arm, the two attacks combining to send the Jyamato flying, crashing into the pond of water nearby. As it got up, furious and angry at the state of its combatant, it charged in the direction of Geats, who easily dodged and parried its attacks with the Raise Water, before the Rider simply whacked it with said weapon.
Sent tumbling down the water fall, the Jyamato roared in frustration, as Geats activated the Revolve On function of the Desire Driver, pressing the button on the top of the Driver before rotating it a full 180 degrees. A ring of metal formed around him before his body began to morph.
Revolve On!
リボルブオン！
Riborubu On!
Landing on a slightly higher elevation to the monster, the two halves of Geats’ armour switched; the Red Zone Leg, Boost Discharger NA and Boost Kicker turned into the Boost Geats Head, Red Zone Chester, Boost Discharger SA and Boost Puncher while the Armed Geats Head, Shoulder Shell and Cyan Overplate turned into the Knee Shell and Cyan Underplate.
This was Geats’ Boost Armed Water (ブーストアームドウォーター, Būsuto Āmudo Uōtā) form.
As the monster struggled to get back up, Geats readied himself for a finisher, prefacing it with a blatantly obvious, “Here’s the big finisher!”
Pulling the faucet of the Water Raise Buckle on the left side of the Desire Driver, he immediately activated the grip on the Boost Raise Buckle, ejecting another stream of flames from its exhaust.
Boost Time!
ブーストタイム！
Būsuto Taimu!
The flames from the Boost Raise Buckle caused the water beneath his feet to vapourise into steam briefly, before Geats used his right leg to kick up a water vortex that swirled around him. The Booststriker, having changed forms into its Geats Mode, landed behind Geats, beginning to absorb the water that the Rider had kicked up moments prior.
The Rider, who was already in a prime position for his attack, pulled on the grip of the Boost Buckle once more, ejecting a third stream of flames, the yellow in his eyes glowing brightly for a brief moment as a red manifestation of his emblem materialised behind the Rider.
The exhaust ports on the Booststriker changed orientations, turning into cannons that fired out jets of water, launching the Rider forwards as he readied a punch.
Boost~ Water~ Grand Victory!
ブースト・ウォーターグランドビクトリー！
Būsuto U~ōtā Gurando Bikutorī!
The Rider charged forwards, his fist colliding with the Jyamato and sending it flying into the air, before it exploded in an explosive victory for the Rider, Geats eventually landing on the ground in front of where the monster had just exploded.

“You know…” Geats, currently in his Zombie Form (ゾンビフォーム, Zonbi Fōmu), mentioned, the Zombie Breaker currently in his right hand. Besides him was Kamen Rider Tycoon (仮面ライダータイクーン, Kamen Raidā Taikūn), currently in his Armed Arrow (アームドアロー, Āmudo Arō) form, and Kamen Rider Mary (仮面ライダーメリー, Kamen Raidā Merī) — Morio Koganeya (小金屋 森魚, Koganeya Morio) -- currently in his Armed Shield (アームドシールド, Āmudo Shīrudo) form. Far from the rest of the group was Kamen Rider Da·Paan (仮面ライダーダパーン, Kamen Raidā Dapān) — Kanato Sumida (墨田 奏斗, Sumida Kanato) — currently in his Entry Raise Form (エントリーレイズフォーム, Entorī Reizu Fōmu), the once-black eye visor now decorated with ornate white markings indicating his partially-zombified status.
“…we’re free to team up or fight amongst ourselves,” Kamen Rider Buffa (仮面ライダーバッファ, Kamen Raidā Baffa), Michinaga Azuma (吾妻 道長, Azuma Michinaga) — currently in his Magnum Form (マグナムフォーム, Magunamu Fōmu) — retorted, cutting off the fox Rider, as he held the Magnum Shooter 40X, currently in its Rifle Mode, to his shoulder. “That’s the nature of the Desire Grand Prix, right?”
And as the Zombie Jyamatos began to slowly walk towards their location, hearing Buffa’s statement, Da·Paan retorted, responding with a frustrated, “It’s over for me anyways!”
Yet, however, a female voice — Neon Kurama (鞍馬 祢音, Kurama Neon)’s voice to be exact — called out from the rooftops near their location, as she prefaced her words with a simple, “I’m not giving up.”
Set!
セット！
Setto!
Charging in the direction of the Riders that were beginning to be surrounded by the Jyamatos, she pulled out the Hammer Raise Buckle, inserting it into the right side of the Desire Driver, her ID Core already inserted into its appropriate slot in the middle. Near the Riders, Armed Hammer’s emblem began to manifest, forming from thin air, much to Mary’s surprise. Tycoon cheered a little as well, while Geats simply looked on.
“I will fight until the bitter end!” Neon determinedly stated, continuing to run across the rooftop as she prepared to jump off and transform at the same time. “So that I can live the life I want!”

“Henshin!” Neon then slammed down the hammer of the Hammer Raise Buckle, activating it as the emblem that had materialised began to form the Rider’s armour. As Neon began to land on the ground, her Entry Raise Form’s armour began to manifest, surrounding her in a black film, before the armour formation devices materialised, injecting the top half of Armed Hammer’s armour — consisting of the Armed Na-Go Head, Shoulder Shell and Magenta Overplate — into her suit.
Armed Hammer! Ready, fight.
アームドハンマー！レディー、ファイト。
Āmudo Hanmā! Redī, faito.
This was Kamen Rider Na-Go (仮面ライダーナーゴ, Kamen Raidā Nāgo)’s Armed Hammer (アームドハンマー, Āmudo Hanmā) form.
Landing on the ground between the group of Riders and Da·Paan, the Raise Hammer also materialised, landing neatly in her right arm. Looking at the battlefield around her, she readied herself, before she proceeded to charge into the fray, rapidly attacking the Zombie Jyamatos around her.
“The zombie’s weak spot is its head!” She screamed to herself, remembering the details she’d learnt about the Jyamato that she was facing this round, before she continued to repeatedly bash the heads of the Zombie Jyamatos that got a little too close for her comfort. “Head! Head!”
“Knee! Knee! Head!” Na-Go then slammed the blunt end of the Raise Hammer into the leg of one of the Zombie Jyamatos, causing it to fall to the floor, before the heads of the Jyamatos that had fallen neatly lined up, allowing for Na-Go to execute a powerful magenta bashing attack that destroyed a good three or four Jyamatos in succession.
“You’re wasting your time!” The partially-zombified Da·Paan screamed, still very much frustrated at what Na-Go was attempting to do. “You’re just gonna become a zombie anyways!”
Geats, having struck down another Zombie Jyamato, simply retorted Da·Paan’s statement with a concise, “There is a way of surviving.”
He recalled the moment he shared with Keiwa and Neon the night before, as the three stood in a park in the wee hours of dusk. Keiwa looked at Ace with an incredulous look of confusion, a facial expression that was partially mirrored onto Neon’s face.
“What is it?” Keiwa asked Ace, unsure of whether Neon could be de-zombified.
“There are many mysteries regarding the Jyamato, but one thing I do know…” Ace explained, turning to face the two other individuals in the area with him. “…is that any damage or penalties dealt by the Jyamato are all reset once the game finishes.”
A look of surprise formed on Keiwa’s face, before it turned into an idealistic expression. “So you mean, if we can clear the game before Neon-chan becomes a zombie…”
Ace simply smiled in response, before he continued, “Want to risk it all on this slim chance?”

Neon was left in consideration for a moment, pondering upon Ace’s question, before the Star of the Stars of the Stars himself then asked, “Are you really okay giving up here?”
He then took his leave, as Keiwa then pulled out his backpack, opening the zip and taking out the Boost Raise Buckle that he’d received as a mission drop for the second round. Placing it in Neon’s hand, he simply stated, “Take this if you want?”
“Why?”
“If you died… my sister would be sad.”
Neon simply grinned a little, as she took a glance at the Boost Raise Buckle that was currently in her right hand. “So not you…”
“Of course… me too.” Keiwa replied, before he took his leave, leaving Neon to ponder on the Boost Buckle, briefly recalling the wish she’d made and written on the Desire Card; ‘to find true love’.
Returning back to the present day, she dwelt on those words again once more, before she struck down two more Zombie Jyamatos, facing the horde of Jyamato that was slowly beginning to huddle in her location. Pulling out the Raise Boost Buckle and holding it in her hand, she looked at it for a moment, before inserting it into the left side of the Desire Driver.

Behind her, slightly to her left, a manifestation of Boost’s emblem formed. Pressing on the hammer bit of the Hammer Raise Buckle, she then pulled on the grip of the Boost Raise Buckle, causing it to eject a stream of fire from its exhausts. She leapt a little, taking a stance as the armour formation devices materialised behind her, injecting the bottom half of Boost’s armour — consisting of the Red Zone Leg, Boost Discharger NA and Boost Kicker — into her suit in the process.

“Boost Na-Go… let’s go!” Neon, now pumped up with determination, smiled beneath her mask. This was her Armed Hammer Boost (アームドハンマーーブースト, Āmudo Hanmā Būsuto) form. And so she charged back into the fray, using the power released by the Boost Raise Buckle to repeatedly execute a flurry of kicks, punches and striking attacks that would make Wizard himself partially jealous.
After her twentieth Zombie Jyamato kill, she took onto the upper levels of the construction area that formed the main battlefield of the Jyamar Area, striking down more Zombie Jyamatos before using the Boost Discharger NA to eject a stream of flames that caused her to propel forwards, leaping out and into the air. Almost as if flying in the air, she charged in the direction of Tycoon, who was in the process of defeating another Zombie Jyamato.
“Neon-chan!” He called out to the female Rider, holding out his hand, which she immediately accepted, Tycoon providing as a slingshot of some kind that gave enough momentum to launch her in the direction of the nearest rooftop that had a Zombie Jyamato, striking it and sending it crashing towards the ground.
She would also land on the ground, as she attempted to get up, Tycoon also fighting another set of Zombie Jyamatos behind her. However, she would collapse onto her feet, the zombification progressing even more as the gold on her visor began to form intricately-detailed white ornaments. Unable to get up, she struggled to fight the zombification process, clutching onto her head in the process.

“I’m taking you down with me!” Da·Paan, taking advantage of the situation, attempted to charge at Na-Go, leaping from a nearby wooden platform.
However, Tycoon was quick to pin down the zombified Rider, holding him down with as much effort as he could muster. “No one has the right to take away someone else’s happiness!”
“Let me go!” Da·Paan, however, had progressed even further into the zombification ritual, the sudden boost of strength allowing him to push Tycoon to the side, scrambling to the side as he struggled to fight the zombification process.
Na-Go clutched her head, the pain still continuing to wiggle its way into her brain, as Tycoon looked on, worried and shocked. “Oh no! Time’s almost up!”
As he attempted to help Na-Go, another Zombie Jyamato attempted to strike at the Rider, forcing him to divert his attention. From afar, Geats and Buffa were still fighting Zombie Jyamatos on the roof, as the two Riders observed the commotion down below.
“Looks like this is Na-Go’s exit.” Buffa simply commented, defeating another Zombie Jyamato. However, Geats simply watched on, the feline Rider refusing to give up.
“It’s… not over yet!” She screamed, as Geats decided to prepare a finisher of his own. The fox Rider pulled on the purple tab of the Zombie Raise Buckle, the middle bit of the Desire Driver glowing an ominous purple as it charged up with a particularly powerful blast of energy.
Zombie Strike!
ゾンビストライク！
Zonbi Sutoraiku!
The Berserclaw on his left hand began to charge up with purple energy, before Geats would then slam it into the ground beneath it, the energy from the attack transferring to the area around Na-Go. Orange hands would form from the ground, in a design similar to the Berserclaw, before multiple more hands would materialise from the ground as well, trapping the horde of Zombie Jyamatos in front of her in a very tight grip.
As Na-Go turned to look at Geats, she would deliberate on his words once more, the two sentences ‘Want to risk it all on this slim chance?’ and ‘Are you okay with giving up here?’ continuing to echo in her head. Gaining the energy to push and fight back against the pain caused by the zombification process, she got up with a determined expression beneath the mask.
“I’m not giving up until I get my ideal world!” She stated, before she slammed her hand into the top button of the Desire Driver that activated the Revolve On function of the Driver, rotating it a full 180 degrees in the process. A ring of metal formed around her, before her body began to morph. At the same time, a golden manifestation of her Rider emblem formed for a second, before dissipating into thin air as quickly as it came.

The two halves of her armour began to switch sides, the Red Zone Leg, Boost Discharger NA and Boost Kicker turning into the Boost Na-Go Head, Red Zone Chester, Boost Discharger SA and Boost Puncher while the Armed Na-Go Head, Shoulder Shell and Cyan Overplate turned into the Knee Shell and Cyan Underplate.
This was Na-Go’s Boost Armed Hammer (ブーストアームドハンマー, Būsuto Āmudo Hanmā) form.
The Raise Hammer remained in her right hand, though it became noticeably bigger, roughly two to three times its original size. Tycoon looked onwards at Na-Go, a cheerful expression forming beneath the mask. Geats also observed Na-Go, as the feline Rider then proceeded to ready her finisher, slamming the hammer bit of the Hammer Raise Buckle down, before activating the grip on the Boost Raise Buckle, ejecting another stream of flames from its exhaust.
The Raise Hammer was suddenly enveloped in an aura of fire, which Na-Go used to her advantage, swinging it around and striking any Jyamatos which happened to get within the radius of her attack.
Boost Time!
ブーストタイム！
Būsuto Taimu!
Swinging around the weapon even more, she built up a severe amount of momentum, before she held the Raise Hammer high above her, charging up her finisher. Immediately afterwards, she pulled on the grip of the Boost Raise Buckle a third time, ejecting another set of flames from its exhaust pipes. The back end of the Raise Hammer opened up, revealing a powerful jet engine that roared aggressively, before it increased the force of the weapon’s attack threefold.
She swung the Raise Hammer in the direction of the horde of Jyamatos in front of her with a blaze of glory, the sheer force of the wind pushing through their heads and sending them reeling, before the flames released from the Raise Hammer consumed them, destroying them in the process.
Boost~ Hammer~ Grand Victory!
ブースト・ドハンマーグランドビクトリー！
Būsuto Hanmā Gurando Bikutorī!
She found herself pushed back a little bit by the recoil of the attack, before she swung her hammer into the other horde of Zombie Jyamatos, sending a powerful gust of wind that crashed into the horde in front of her, destroying them in the process in a furious explosion.

Mary, currently in his Armed Chain Array (アームドチェーンアレイ, Āmudo Chēn Arei) form, readied himself, holding the Raise Chain Array as he swung it around a little, resting it in his right hand. Walking over to Buffa, who was currently in his Zombie Form (ゾンビフォーム, Zonbi Fōmu), he cheekily smirked beneath the mask, pointing to the Boost Raise Buckle in the process. “Alright! As long as we have Boost Buckle, we’re sure to win.”
He cheekily punched Buffa’s chest, before immediately charging into battle, striking at the Wasou Jyamato that was attempting to attack him with its spear. Using the Raise Chain Array, he sent the ball part of the weapon slamming into the Jyamato to the best of his ability, causing the monster to reel from the attacks in response. Mary continued his onslaught, as Buffa looked on, observing the battlefield as he continued to hold the Boost Raise Buckle in his hand.
“Hey, young man! What is it?” Mary called out to Buffa, the latter refusing to respond, instead opting for a completely silent observation of the battlefield in front of him.
On the other side of the battlefield, Tycoon, who was currently in his Armed Arrow Form, attempted to work with his partner, Kamen Rider PunkJack (仮面ライダーパンクジャック, Kamen Raidā Panku Jakku), who was currently in his Armed Shield (アームドシールド, Āmudo Shīrudo) form, watching the fight that Tycoon was partaking in. Using the Raise Arrow, he parried an attack from the Wasou Jyamato that was attacking him, barely able to hold off the monster.
“I’m…” Tycoon muttered out, before he dodged a few blows the Jyamato was attempting to strike. However, he wasn’t so lucky, taking one hit before being forcibly sent reeling from the blow, scrambling to continue dodging the Jyamato’s attacks.
All the while, Buffa observed Tycoon as he took another few hits from the Wasou Jyamato, cornered against one of the fences. However, Tycoon was quick to recover, charging up the Raise Arrow as he fired at the Jyamato, causing it to be sent to the ground temporarily. “…not beaten yet!”
As the Wasou Jyamato Tycoon fought got up, Mary turned to see Buffa still patiently observing the battlefield, a look of confusion beginning to form beneath his helmet. “Hey, don’t just stand there! Fight already!”
“Sure.” Buffa merely responded, as he saw Tycoon fire another arrow into the Wasou Jyamato, landing a kick immediately afterwards and sending him into PunkJack, the latter Rider occasionally taking potshots at the Wasou Jyamato.

Making his move, he finally prepared to utilise the Boost Raise Buckle he was currently holding in his left hand, inserting it into the left side of the Desire Driver in the process. Behind him the manifestation of Boost’s emblem form slightly to his left, before he flipped the switch on the Zombie Raise Buckle, proceeding to pull on the grip of the Boost Raise Buckle. A stream of fire was ejected from its exhausts, crashing into the emblem and materialising the armour formation devices behind her in the process.
Dual On! Zombie and Boost! Ready, fight.
デュアルオン！ゾンビアンドブースト！レディー、ファイト。
De~yuaru On! Zonbi ando Būsuto! Redī, faito.
Said devices injected the bottom half of Boost’s armour — consisting of the Red Zone Leg, Boost Discharger NA and Boost Kicker — into his suit in the process. Immediately, he charged at the Wasou Jyamato that Mary had been fighting to that point, the Rider having prepared a finisher in an attempt to destroy the Jyamato in the process.
This was Buffa’s ZombieBoost Form (ゾンビブーストフォーム, ZonbiBūsuto Fōmu).
Using the exhaust pipes in the suit, he dashed forwards at an incredible speed, slamming the Berserclaw into the Jyamato and dragging it forwards.
As Mary struck where the Jyamato previously was with the Raise Chain Array, the weapon collided with the ground in a powerful thud, much to the dismay of the Rider. “Hey! Hold it! That was mine!”
Sending the Jyamato flying, it would land near where Tycoon and PunkJack were currently fighting their Wasou Jyamato. As PunkJack continued to observe from the sidelines, Tycoon would then pull the string on the Arrow Raise Buckle, charging the Raise Arrow with green energy that would repeatedly emanate from the weapon.
At the same time, Buffa then pressed the top button of the Desire Driver, activating the Revolve On function of the Driver in the process. Rotating the Driver a full 180 degrees int he process, ring of metal formed around him, his body beginning to morph in the process.

The two halves of her armour began to switch sides; the Red Zone Leg, Boost Discharger NA and Boost Kicker turned into the Boost Buffa Head, Red Zone Chester, Boost Discharger SA and Boost Puncher, while the Zombie Buffa Head, Zombie Spike SA, Undead Chester, and Poison Chamber Arm turned into the Undead Thigh, Zombie Spike NA and Poison Chamber Leg. Buffa landed on the ground, readying a finisher as soon as he finished transformation.
This was Buffa’s BoostZombie Form (ブーストゾンビフォーム, BūsutoZonbi Fōmu).

Pulling on the grip of the Boost Raise Buckle, Buffa summoned the Boostriker, which charged in his direction, turning into the buffalo-themed Buffa Mode in the process. Immediately afterwards, he jumped onto the Boostriker as he charged in the direction of the Wasou Jyamato he had been fighting moments earlier.

Almost as if synchronous in their actions, Tycoon charged up the Raise Arrow, executing his finisher on the Wasou Jyamato he was fighting, while Buffa pulled on the grip of the Boost Raise Buckle once again, a stream of flames ejecting from the exhaust as a purple manifestation of his Rider emblem formed for what felt like half a second, immediately disappearing afterwards. Slamming the Boostriker into the Wasou Jyamato, it sent the monster flying into the sky, before Buffa executed a powerful punch on the monster.

After what had felt like both eternity and less than a second, the two Wasou Jyamato exploded, heart emblems releasing from their bodies in the process. From a distance, a score seemed to increase as Tycoon looked at Buffa with an incredulous expression beneath his mask.
“We beat it?”
----------------------------------------
The Saboten Knight Jyamato began to increase massively, much bigger than it previously was. Where before, it was roughly the height of a two-storey building, its currently height could undoubtedly be mistaken for double, or even triple, of its previous height. It towered over all of the buildings in the area, as it guarded the massive green tree behind it that served as its source of life force and hostage storage area.
As the Kamen Riders — Ace, Neon, Michinaga and an injured Keiwa — arrived on the battle scene, the fox Rider who led the points ranking then uttered with a smile, “It’s a duel. Let’s see who kicks the can.”
Michinaga observed the Saboten Knight Jyamato’s movements, before responding with an almost immediate, “It will be me!”
“I’m not losing to you!” Neon responded, appearing near both Ace and Michinaga as she also continued to observe the monstrous Jyamato’s movements.
Elsewhere, Keiwa was currently leaning against a pillar, flinching a little bit as he could feel his injuries weakening his body. However, he felt like an adrenaline-like force pushed him to continue onwards, as he observed the green tower that stood behind the Saboten Knight Jyamato. Jutting out from it was his sister — Sara — currently trapped and unconscious, her life force feeding into the Jyamato with every unrescued second.
Each of the Riders pulled out the respective Raise Buckles that they’d obtained; Keiwa pulled out the Arrow and Boost Raise Buckles, inserting it into the right and left sides of his Desire Driver; Michinaga pulled out the Zombie Raise Buckle, Neon pulled out the Claw Raise Buckle and Ace pulled out the Magnum Raise Buckle, the latter three inserting their respective Raise Buckles into the right side of their Desire Drivers.
Set!
セット！
Setto!
“Henshin!”
The four Riders executed their respective transformation poses, before activating their Raise Buckles. Ace rotated the revolver section of the Magnum Raise Buckle, before pulling on the trigger, the emblem of Magnum materialising behind him and slightly to his right. The trigger being pulled unleashed a bullet from the Desire Driver which crashed into the emblem, beginning to form his armour. In Michinaga’s case, he pulled the purple tab of the Zombie Raise Buckle, the middle bit of the Desire Driver glowing purple as it released mysterious goo that dropped onto the ground beneath him, the projection of Zombie’s emblem having formed slightly to his right.
In Neon’s case, as she pulled on the frontal bit of the Claw Raise Buckle, Claw’s emblem began to manifest and take shape slightly to her right and behind her, as multiple claw-like scratches emerged from the Driver, striking the emblem and forming her armour. In Keiwa’s case, as he pulled on the string of the Arrow Raise Buckle and pulled on the grip of the Boost Raise Buckle, the latter ejected a stream of flames from the exhaust ports, while the former summoned multiple arrows that collided with the emblems that had formed behind him.
Magnum! Ready, fight.

Around each of the Riders, their Entry Raise Form armours began to manifest, surrounding them in black film, before their respective armour formation devices materialised, injecting their respective parts into their suit.
For Geats, it was the top half of Magnum’s armour — the Magnum Geats Head, Magnum Chester, Magnum Guard SA and Gunslinger Arm. For Buffa, it was the top half of Zombie’s armour — the Zombie Buffa Head, Zombie Spike SA, Undead Chester, Poison Chamber Arm and Berserclaw. For Na-Go, it was the top half of Armed Claw’s armour — the Armed Na-Go Head, Shoulder Shell and Yellow Overplate. For Tycoon, it was the top half of Armed Arrow’s armour — the Armed Tycoon Head, Shoulder Shell and Green Overplate — and the bottom half of Boost’s armour — the Red Zone Leg, Boost Discharger NA and Boost Kicker.
Geats was now in his Magnum Form (マグナムフォーム, Magunamu Fōmu), Buffa was currently in his Zombie Form, Na-Go was in her Armed Claw (アームドクロー, Āmudo Kurō) form and Tycoon was now in his Armed Arrow Boost (アームドアローブースト, Āmudo Arō Būsuto) form. With each of the Riders having transformed, they were beginning to become surrounded by a flurry of Pawn Jyamatos that charged in their direction, handling the matter at hand.

However, Tycoon was not one to wait, beginning to execute his master plan, as he rushed in the direction of the Saboten Knight Jyamato, landing in a relatively empty space with plenty of room to manoeuvre. Immediately, he called out to the Jyamato, almost in a mocking tone of some sorts, “Last boss! I’m over here!”
As the Jyamato noticed his location, the other three Riders reacted in surprise, as Sara’s eyes opened ever-so-slightly, barely able to make out Tycoon’s silhouette. She instinctively called out for her brother, as he charged around the battlefield, using the Boost Raise Buckle’s speed to outmanoeuvre the Jyamato’s barrage of missiles.
“What’s wrong?! Come and get me!” He then screamed, the Jyamato turning around to face the Rider in the process. He continued to run away, dodging the barrages of flames and missiles that the Jyamato was continuing to rapidly fire by the second.
“What is he doing?!” Na-Go asked in incredulous confusion, as she continued to hack and slash away at the Jyamato around her.
“He’s acting as the lure…” Buffa responded, also focused on killed the Jyamato that were surrounding him.
“You really are too nice for your own good,” Geats landed on the ground next to Buffa, as he destroyed another Pawn Jyamato, focusing on the Saboten Knight Jyamato immediately afterwards. “Fine. If that’s what you want, I’m going to end this!”
Pulling out the Ninja Raise Buckle, Geats prepared to insert it into the right side of his Desire Driver; however, a mysterious force almost held him, preventing him from inserting it into the Driver…
“Keiwa!”
“Don’t worry about me!” Meanwhile, Tycoon another barrage from the Saboten Knight Jyamato, collapsing to the ground as his younger sister screamed in worry at him. Struggling to maintain his composure, he forced himself forwards, thinking about the other Riders who were fighting the Pawn Jyamatos. “Until… everyone is saved… I won’t fall!”
Geats could only look onwards, as the Saboten Knight Jyamato summoned a powerful missile, drawing from the massive green tower behind it. As the missile turned red, the Jyamato would then send it hurling towards Tycoon, consuming the Rider in an explosion, much to the shock of his sister, who could only watch the battle with shock and worry.
However, as the flames died down, what emerged from the fire was a log that crumbled to the ground, much to the confusion of Sara, who wondered what was going on.
Tactical Slash!
タクティカルスラッシュ！
Takutikaru Surasshu!
A voice boomed from afar, as Tycoon suddenly emerged, summoning multiple massive energy shurikens that he would then send slamming into the Saboten Knight Jyamato, causing it to crash onto the ground in sheer pain.
“What happened?!” Both Buffa and Na-Go asked in response to the sudden mystery that was in front of them.
“Apparently, the Ninja Buckle resonated with him.” Geats simply responded, as both him and Buffa turned to look at Tycoon, who was practically hovering above the Saboten Knight Jyamato, far higher than the rest of the combatants in the battlefield.
Recalling when he attempted to use the Ninja Buckle in response to the monster attacking Tycoon mere moments earlier, Geats found himself confused when the Buckle refused to allow itself to be inserted into his Desire Driver, the Raise Buckle releasing a burst of energy that repelled it from the Driver.
“Eh?” Geats muttered to himself, before the Raise Buckle was flung out of its hand, flying in the direction of where Tycoon should be.
Set!
セット！
Setto!
“It resonated with Tycoon’s shinobi heart…” Geats mentioned, as the Ninja Raise Buckle inserted itself into the Desire Driver, ejecting both the Arrow Raise Buckle and Boost Raise Buckle in the process.
“…since he was ready to sacrifice himself to finish the mission.” He finished, as the grip on the Ninja Raise Buckle pulled itself, summoning a powerful gust of wind around the Rider, alongside the armour, eventually merging onto the green Rider’s body in a gust of wind.
Ninja! Ready, fight.
ニンジャ！レディー、ファイト。
Ninja! Redī, faito.
Briefly, Ninja’s emblem began to manifest, forming from thin air and appearing slightly to the right of Tycoon, as the armour formation devices began to materialise, injecting the top half of Ninja’s Armour — consisting of the Ninja Tycoon Head, Ninjutsu Chester, Ninja Armor S and Shuriken Arm — into his suit.
This was Tycoon’s Ninja Form (ニンジャフォーム, Ninja Fōmu).
As Tycoon landed on the rooftop, the bright green of the Ninjutsu Chester that served as his chest armour gleaming beneath the sunlight, he readied himself for battle, the Ninja Dueler having materialised itself in his hands. From above, in her prison cell, Sara found herself unable to hold back the smile that formed on her face, seeing the state of her brother now rejuvenated. From the battlefield below, Geats also observed the newly-minted form, interested in what was going to come next.
“Didn’t I say…?” Turning to face the Saboten Knight Jyamato who had been knocked to the side by the recoil from the Ninja Buckle, Tycoon stood his ground, a soft declaration escaping his mouth. “I’m not going down.”
The Jyamato now angered at this change of events, it began to charge multiple green bolts of energy, firing them in the direction of the green Rider who was beginning to charge in its direction. Running across the rooftop, Tycoon continued to dodge projectile after projectile, using the speed provided by the Ninja Buckle to outrun the attacks. Jumping over hurdle after hurdle along the way, he quickly rolled to the side, barely dodging another projectile hurled in his direction.
And jumping from one rooftop to the other, he barely managed to fit in a gap in the window of the building he crashed into, instead crashing onto the ground and into what appeared to be a desk of some kind, undoubtedly meant for a school student. However, he forced himself to get up as he realised that the Jyamato was inevitably sending out projectiles in his direction.
Charging towards a wall, he quickly utilised the power of the Ninja Buckle, dissipating into thin air and re-materialising on the other side of the wall in an incredulous display of shinobi arts. The destruction beginning to pile up around him, Tycoon was barely able to parry one of the many blasts of green energy with the Ninja Dueler, eventually reaching a point where he was just out of the Saboten Knight’s range.
Set!
セット！
Setto!
Taking an advantage of the moment, he quickly whipped out the Boost Raise Buckle that he still had on him, inserting it into the left side of the Desire Driver. A manifestation of the emblem of the Boost Raise Buckle materialised above him, forming a hole in the roof above him. Pulling on the grip of the Boost Raise Buckle, a stream of flames ejected from its exhaust, before he then pulled on the handle of the Ninja Raise Buckle, letting it spin.
Dual On! Ninja and Boost! Ready, fight.
デュアルオン！ニンジャアンドブースト！レディー、ファイト。
De~yuaru On! Ninja ando Būsuto! Redī, faito.
Tycoon jumped upwards, the armour that had materialised — consisting of the Red Zone Leg, Boost Discharger NA, and Boost Kicker — attaching itself to the Rider’s lower half.
This was Tycoon’s NinjaBoost Form (ニンジャブーストフォーム, NinjaBūsuto Fōmu).

Landing on the rooftop, the Rider then noticed the Saboten Knight Jyamato attempting to execute a direct physical strike on his location. Manipulating the situation to his advantage, he jumped upwards as the monster’s fist collided with the rooftop beneath him.
Landing on the monster’s fist, he began to run up the Jyamato’s body, hacking and slashing at the spikes that protruded from the monster’s body along the way. Across the battlefield, sparks of green began to light up the field, undoubtedly due to the monster attempting to attack the Rider to the best of its ability. However, Keiwa was determined in his attack, continuing to charge.
“Just wait, everyone!” Keiwa stated to himself determinedly, holding onto a spike for a brief moment of rest, before he jumped back into the fray, running up the body of the monster while using the Ninja Dueler to parry and destroy the projectiles that were being sent in his direction. With the dual-bladed function that was currently utilised in the Ninja Dueler, he combined the two weapons back together, a simple announcement making note of this change.
Single Blade!
シングルブレイド！
Shinguru Bureido!
Realising that there was no more time to wait, he prepared a finisher, pulling on the grip of the Boost Raise Buckle and ejecting another stream of flames from its exhaust. Immediately afterwards, he pulled on the hilt of the Ninja Raise Buckle, finishing his preparations to execute his finishing attack.
Boost Time!
ブーストタイム！
Būsuto Taimu!
Using his Ninja Dueler, Tycoon jumped from the monster’s body, the weapon turning into a shuriken that hovered in the attack, attacking the various parts of the monster that was in its radius in a severe flurry of green and pink, much to the monster’s anger as it attempted to strike at the Rider. However, Keiwa quickly moved onto the next part of his finisher, charging at the green tower that held his sister and the rest of the victims that the Saboten Knight Jyamato had consumed.
Ninja~ Boost~ Grand Victory!
ニンジャブーストグランドビクトリー！
Ninja~ Būsuto~ Gurando Bikutorī!
Leaping off of the Ninja Dueler in its Shuriken Mode, Tycoon charged up a powerful kick, concentrating the energy into his right leg. A stream of flames ejected from the exhaust pipes on the Boost Discharger NA and Red Zone Legs, before his kick collided with the tower, splitting it in half as a manifestation of his Rider emblem briefly materialised in front of him.
And from the part of the tower that began to fall towards the ground, it dissipated, revealing the victims that had been consumed by the Saboten Knight Jyamato previously, each of them now covered in a white aura that helped with their descent to the ground. As Tycoon also began to fall towards the ground, he flinched a little, unable to move due to the sheer exhaustion the fight was inflicting on his body.
“Someone… this is your chance…” Tycoon muttered to himself, as on the ground below, both Geats and Buffa readied themselves to kick the can that had materialised in front of the Jyamato.
“Leave it to me!” Geats quickly holstered the Magnum Revolver 40X that he was holding on his waist, charging at the can.
“I’m gonna win!” Buffa wasn’t one to admit defeat, wielding the Zombie Breaker in his right hand as he also charged towards the can, though admittedly slightly slower than Geats because of the specifications of his suit.
The Jyamato, realising what had exactly begun to unfold, turned to face the can that was behind him, preparing to grab the can as quickly as possible. However, Geats was quick to reach the location of the can, preparing to execute a kick on the can.
“A giant… lift-off!” Geats screamed, kicking the can — and unfortunately Buffa — into the skies, as the Jyamato roared, realising slightly too late what had just happened.
Raising its hand to the grab the can, however, Na-Go was quick to go on the offence, jumping off the various points on its body before leaping off its body, kicking the can with a powerful, “Go… flying further!”
The can flew past the Jyamato, eventually colliding with the dark red border of the Jyamar Area, forming a hole that was quickly sealed up. However, the monster roared in agony, as it began to dissipate into blue particles, said particles eventually dissipating into the wind.
As Ace de-transformed, the armour around his body dissipating in to thin air, he observed the spot where the can had pierced through the boundaries of the Jyamar Area, as Neon, also having de-transformed, landed in front of him. She also turned to look at the spot where the can had pierced through, her reaction topped with a surprised, “Did I beat it?”
----------------------------------------
The legend of the Kamen Riders. The legendary masked heroes who transform with the aid of mysterious Drivers, fighting against evil of all kind in the name of the future, coexistence, and peace.
仮面ライダーの伝説。謎のドライバーの助けを借りて変身し、未来、共存、平和の名のもとにあらゆる悪と戦う伝説の覆面英雄。
Surely, in every part of the world, there is at least one derivation of the man who fights in the name of justice, and Kamen Rider is no different — a legend that has continued to live on in people’s hearts, helping to create a new generation of people who believe in its ideals.
きっと世界のどこにでも、正義の名の下に戦う男の派生が少なくとも一つは存在し、仮面ライダーも例外ではありません。その理想を信じる人々の世代。
From the man who began it all, Takeshi Hongo (本郷 猛, Hongō Takeshi), the brilliant student who broke free of the brainwashing of the terrorist organisation simply known as Shocker, fighting against the many robotic half-cyborgs under its banner as Kamen Rider 1 (仮面ライダー1号, Kamen Raidā Ichi-Gō); to Yusuke Godai (五代 雄介, Godai Yūsuke), the man of two thousand skills who wielded the mysterious Arcle to fight against the elusive Gurongi Tribe seeking to bring out the ‘Ultimate Darkness’ as Kamen Rider Kuuga (仮面ライダークウガ, Kamen Raidā Kūga).
To the man who carved the beginnings of the Reiwa Era’s legacy, Aruto Hiden (飛電 或人, Hiden Aruto) — the CEO of Hiden Intelligence and later Hiden Manufacturing — who fights against the rogue splinter cell of terrorist robots, MetsubouJinrai.net, donning the mantle of Kamen Rider Zero-One (仮面ライダーゼロワン, Kamen Raidā Zerowan) in order to ensure the peaceful co-existence of humans and Humagears.
These are merely three of the many heroes who have donned the title of the Kamen Rider, fighting against evil… and fifty-one years on, its legacy continues to live on in the hands of not only Ikki Igarashi (五十嵐 一輝, Igarashi Ikki) and Vice (バイス, Baisu), chosen by the government agency known as Fenix to fight against the Deadmans — who seek to revive their master, Giff, and bring upon the end of the world — donning the mantle as Kamen Rider Revi (仮面ライダーリバイ, Kamen Raidā Ribai) and Kamen Rider Vice (仮面ライダーバイス, Kamen Raidā Baisu) respectively — and Ace Ukiyo (浮世 英寿, Ukiyo Ēsu) — undefeated champion of the Desire Grand Prix — who joins the game to fight against the Jyamato and discover answers to his questions, donning the mantle of Kamen Rider Geats (仮面ライダーギーツ, Kamen Raidā Gītsu).
And still, even if this tale of heroes is ultimately one of fiction, originating from the imaginations of a mangaka whose name lives on in the annals of history, its values are not to be taken lightly, its legacy eventually receiving second life in the hands of the many people influenced by its stories.
それでもなお、この英雄の物語は最終的にフィクションの一つであり、その名が歴史の年代記に生き続ける漫画家の想像力に由来するとしても、その価値は軽視されるべきではなく、その遺産は最終的に手に第二の命を与えられますその物語に影響を受けた多くの人々の。
From cosplay to fan-fiction, to video reviews to drawings, these are merely some of the infinite stories that have carved their own identities… and so, good continues to slay and vanquish evil even in a world where the Masked Hero is merely but a concept.
コスプレからファン フィクション、ビデオ レビュー、ドローイングまで、これらは独自のアイデンティティを刻んだ無限の物語の一部にすぎません…そして、仮面のヒーローがただの世界でさえも、善は悪を殺し続け、打ち負かし続けています。概念。
Of the warrior who fights for the truth that he believes in…
信じる真実のために戦う戦士の…
----------------------------------------
“Come on, you can’t be serious.” A female voice began to speak in what was undoubtedly a deadpan roll, an accompanying imaginary image of an eye-roll also materialising in the process.
“Hey, at least it was a guarantee at this point that Ace was going to win. He’s the main character, after all.” Another voice uttered in retaliation, a male voice that was slightly deeper than the other voice.
“Yeah, but couldn’t they have at least given Keiwa a victory so that he could wish the Riders who died back to life or something? That would have been much more fun.” The female voice retorted back, as the source of the male voice — a guy who seemed to be no older than his earlier twenties — simply pouted.
“Hey, at least he’s going to win next time, right? They’ve already set up the next arc with Beat and those two other Riders, so it’s not like it going to be all too bad, right?” The male voice then responded, clearly bringing to mind not just Na-Go’s newly minted Beat Form, which was set to debut in the Stratagem arc of Geats, but also the two new riders, Letter and Keilow.
“Except what, somehow Tycoon’s not there and instead we got bootleg old man and pumpkin man using Ninja now—”
“Something something isn’t he getting a super form eventually or something, I don’t exactly remember? Either how, we have fan-fiction to solve that anyways. Besides, aren’t you the writer kind of girl anyways?”
“I’m not going to write fan-fiction if I can’t be bothered to write it. Besides, wasn’t there that one fan-fiction someone made of Geats where they added something world to it, or whatever, I don’t even know—”
“Oh, you mean that one,” The male voice then pulled out what appeared to be a smartphone, before turning on the Internet and scrolling over to an article that was titled ‘Hasbro’s Battle Warriors’, showing a few of the Kamen Rider names and their respective suits (Geats’, Buffa’s and Shirowe’s suits respectively).
“Anyways, you sure we can just walk for this long? We need to go somewhere to eat after all, and I don’t feel like waiting until later to have a discussion with the rest of the group.”
“Good point, I’ll go ask Shun and Mei about it and see if they can work out a deal with the rest of the group.” The male voice then responded, turning around to face behind him, before running in the direction of what appeared to be five other individuals.
“Oi, wait for me, Rai! Don’t think you can leave me here after making me complain about Geats for this long!” The female voice chased after the male voice — Rai — as he simply smirked, laughing at the other person teasingly in the process.
