Sir...

Your vote...

...in the meeting tomorrow will greatly impact the Japanese economy.

Yeah.

Pus has to be drained.

What?

What's this?

Sir...

Shocker is a secret society.

Cyborgs secretly working as soldiers.

They hide their emotions and their identities behind their masks.

Shocker is coming.

They are the armies of hell.

Original Story: Shotaro Ishinomori They are the armies of hell.

Those dark shadows are coming after us.

In order to protect our peace...

MASKED RIDER THE FIRST

Pretty... it always moves me.

Water crystals are so beautiful.

Aren't they?

You're diligent, Asuka.

You've been gathering data day and night.

I want to write accurate articles.

JYONAN UNIVERSITY

But I'm really surprised that water crystals are...

...50 easily influenced by their environment.

It means water is alive.

Mr. Hongo.

If beautiful things are reflected in water...

...water crystals become beautiful.

You know a human body is made up of over 60% water?

People get revitalized by seeing beauty...

...meaning water crystals are capable of physical change.

If our daily lives are filled with beauty...

...then we'll be happy.

That's right.

But don't you get bored with these theories all the time?

No, I enjoy them a lot.

I like your theories.

I think I will write good articles.

Will you keep studying this subject?

I'll finish my master's this year.

But I'll stay at the university and study as an assistant.

I hope you'll do a good job.

Thank you.

I'll write good articles. Please read them.

I will.

Take care.

Ask her out? You like her?

I never said that.

She'll be married soon.

I hope she'll be happy. Such a nice person...

You want to wear a dress made of water crystals?

They're really beautiful.

I'll show you. I have pictures.

It's the chief editor's whim.

I think someone studying them is strange enough.

I thought so at first...

But Mr. Hongo explained it so thoroughly.

I felt like he really loves his studies.

Congratulations, Mr. Hongo.

You've been selected as a member of the sacred organization, Shocker.

Applause, everyone!

Who are you?

Let me introduce myself.

I'm from Shocker...

Welcome...

Takeshi Hongo.

What're you doing?

Stop it!

Stop it!

Who the hell?

Stop!

Hey!

Wait!

Good job the other day. We have to thank you.

How is it being a Shocker?

It's great.

I'm more than happy.

Good.

I want you to start the next mission.

Get rid of those who oppose our society.

The others are already on the move.

Support them.

You up to it?

Weekly Magazine ABBA Company

Your article's good. Weekly Magazine ABBA Company

Thank you.

Do you remember this article?

New Urban Legend: A Phantom!

Of course. I wrote the article. New Urban Legend: A Phantom!

This article about people witnessing the phantom is fishy.

But something's odd.

What is it?

It's surely strange.

4 out of 5 people you interviewed are missing.

They all said they saw it.

Yes, I myself have suspicions, but...

It could be like a dog with a human face or...

Then, if it were true...

| wonder...

The truth could actually be simple.

It's the man I interviewed.

He's the only lead left.

Put out your cigarette, sir...

This is a non-smoking car.

Stop it!

You think I'm a rude driver, don't you?

I don't like the smell of smoke.

It bothers the other customers.

This car is my living.

Don't vomit or spit.

Don't cross your legs either.

Gets the seat dirty.

Ah, you did it.

You spit on the seat. Wipe it up.

Wipe it up.

Enough. I'm getting out!

Stop the car!

No, I can't.

It's my job to take you...

...to the other world.

What happened?

That way!

He's dead...

Why?

Who did it?

A phantom?

Kill him, Hopper. Witnesses have to die.

What's wrong, Hopper?

What have I been doing?

What are you up to?

If you betray us...

...you'll die.

That's the punishment for traitors.

Hey, come on!

Hey!

Katsuhiko?

Katsuhiko.

Katsuhiko.

Katsuhiko?

You...

Wait!

Katsuhiko...

Katsuhiko...

Katsuhiko!

Is it true that Hongo betrayed us?

The brain operation was defective.

We have to kill traitors.

He'll die anyway.

All cyborgs need periodic blood exchanges to control rejection.

I'm not patient enough to wait.

Use a Hopper to kill a Hopper.

I'm glad you're back.

I was so worried about you.

I thought you might quit the university.

Everyone was worried and they were calling you.

Magazine editor found dead

But we couldn't reach you. Magazine editor found dead

What happened?

Nothing.

Will you get me an A14 beaker?

Okay.

What happened?

Are you okay?

Asuka.

Can I talk to Mr. Hongo alone?

Huh?

What's that? Lover's quarrel?

When did they get close?

How silly.

Why?

Why'd you kill Katsuhiko?

Say something, murderer!

I won't let it be over.

Watch out!

Hey, are you okay?

Midoriyama Hospital

She'll be okay but needs to stay here for now.

She has some difficulty breathing...

...due to strong pressure on her chest.

Haruhiko!

What are you doing?

Don't be silly! Come down!

Don't do it!

Shut up! Leave me alone!

I'll die anyway.

That's not true! You'll be cured!

That's a lie!

I know...

I'm dying!

Haruhiko!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Haruhiko Mitamura

What a troublemaker.

He wants to be cared for.

Probably...

Nobody has come to see him since he arrived.

Katsuhiko.

Katsuhiko...

Tachibana Racing

Is this motorcycle...for me?

Yes.

You're good enough to handle it.

Take care of it.

You've changed.

Changed?

I have?

Yes.

You've become a man.

I'm not praising you.

I mean you look like a man who lost something.

But don't worry about it.

You gain something when you lose something.

That's the way it works.

Give up on this story.

I don't care about myself.

I don't want to trouble my university.

How about killing my fiancee?

Not just Katsuhiko.

You killed the witnesses who saw the phantom?

No, I didn't. That's...

I'll find out.

I'll expose the truth myself.

Don't do it. You'll risk your life.

You're threatening me?

No, I'm not!

Please leave.

You're the last witness.

I'll take you...

...to hell.

The phantom!

Asuka!

Traitor, I'll kill you first.

Get him!

Asuka.

Who are you?

Look.

What is this?

Beautiful flowers... Lucky you, Haruhiko.

Don't be silly! I don't need sympathy.

Wasn't me. You know who it was?

No.

I wonder.

Thanks, Katsuhiko!

I'm sorry, Katsuhiko. Sorry.

Katsuhiko!

Why?

Katsuhiko, you're alive?

Katsuhiko?

Who's that?

You trying to pick me up?

Excuse me. Wrong person.

You can't say that.

You know why I'm sitting next to you?

I fell for you at first sight.

Check, please.

It's on me...and a bottle of champagne.

I can't accept it.

I'm just kidding.

It's me, Katsuhiko.

I'm alive.

Get in.

You're not a ghost?

A volunteer?

Yes. I take care of lonely inpatients.

Disappointed I'm not a ghost?

I'm Miyoko Harada. Call me what you like.

Nice to meet you.

Don't come again. You bother me.

My name's Hayato Ichimonji, not Katsuhiko.

You knew, right?

Why'd you come with me?

I don't know myself.

I might be a tramp.

A tramp doesn't cry over a ring.

It's a chance for seduction.

I'll be okay.

You're not my type.

All girls say that at first.

I've no time for that now.

You still think of him?

That's part of it.

What's the other? Tell me.

I can help you.

Don't do it.

You'd risk your life!

Rather not. It won't help me anyway.

I want to know everything about you...

...and your relationship with the masked man.

Wait a minute.

What the?

Strange man...

What do you want?

My mission is to kill you.

What am I doing?

Who are you?

You, the other day...

Tell me why...

Tell me why you saved my life.

Thank you.

Tell me who you are.

Show me your face.

I just...

...want to protect beauty.

Hello, Haruhiko Mitamura.

I made a lunch box today.

Have some if you like.

You must be cold?

I made this.

Hope you'll wear it.

What are you doing?

I stayed up all night to make it.

I told you not to come again.

We'll never see each other again, anyway.

What do you mean?

I'll leave the hospital soon.

You're leaving here?

Well...

I mean I can't stay in a place like this for long.

Hey.

You waiting for Asuka?

Forget about her. You have no future.

You...

Who are you?

Why'd you approach Asuka?

What are you doing there?

You came to apologize?

Or do you want to talk?

No...

I just...

Go away then.

I don't wanna see your face.

You want me to get rid of him?

Wait.

Don't be so hard on me.

Stop it. You always jolt me.

I remind you of him? Ordo I attract you?

You know.

No, I don't. I'd better check.

So, let's go for a meal.

I hate this rain.

Woman.

1'll kill you.

You saw Shocker, so you must die.

Run!

Hayato Ichimonji!

You betrayed us.

What are you up to?

You mean it?

Kill him!

It can't be.

You think you're strong.

Are you okay?

It was you.

Why didn't you tell me?

Why are you helping me?

It's better not to say.

I received a report.

What are you up to, Ichimon;ji?

You're also betraying Shocker?

No.

I just want a reward.

I'll kill Takeshi Hongo.

Give me Asuka as advance payment.

I'm not stupid.

I know I can't live without Shocker.

But why doesn't Hongo have rejection?

He could be a successful example of a cyborg.

But we can't forgive a traitor.

We, Shocker, control the world from the shadows, unknown.

We need superior cyborgs.

We should create them.

Hayato Ichimonji, I'll accept your request.

Kill Takeshi Hongo.

Then, Asuka will be yours.

I can't make it.

You'll be cured.

It's a lie. I'm dying.

Go away!

Go away!

Go away!

Go away!

We're connected by a red string.

I wanted to leave the hospital.

But, I didn't know where to go.

I didn't know what to do.

Let's go.

I'll take you.

Is it okay to do this? You'll get in trouble.

It's okay. My dream came true.

Your dream?

Yes. I wanted to see you smile.

Will you take our photo?

Thank you.

Miyoko!

Miyoko!

What happened?

Are you okay?

We call an ambulance.

Haruhiko Mitamura, Miyoko Harada

She was a patient?

Miyoko?

But, she said she was a volunteer.

Of course not. She's been here much longer than you.

Is that true?

Why didn't you tell me?

You're seriously ill.

I've been watching you, looking so lonely.

Nobody came to see you.

The same for me.

So I understand your feelings.

It's not your fault.

I wanted to encourage you...

...and that helps me.

Let's get well together.

And next time...

...we'll have a real date.

Yes...

But I don't have any more time.

No, don't say...such a thing.

I'm really glad I met you.

So, thank you.

Are you Miss Miyoko Harada?

And you?

I came for you.

You'll be cured.

For sure.

I remember it was here.

Where I interviewed last year...

It's a coincidence.

It's nice to be here.

Miyoko, Miyoko

What happened? Are you okay?

I called an ambulance for a sick girl.

What's that?

You never give up.

I just...

...want to protect her.

I protect her.

So I want you to die.

Then she'll be mine.

You're Shocker.

Ichimonji...

Ichimoniji! Are you alright?

You!

Stay away!

I'll Kill him...

...for both of us.

Come!

Why?

What does this mean?

Watch out!

Stop it!

What?

Asuka, why?

Tell me!

Why do you defend him?

I just want to know the truth.

Stay away.

Damn it! The rejection intervals got shorter.

You missed him because of her.

What?

Shocker considers you a traitor.

Die!

Get on!

Are you okay?

Why did you save me?

Shocker is after me, too.

So...

You're stupid.

I was trying to kill you.

But now I'm a traitor, too.

It doesn't mean we're comrades.

Tell me one thing.

Do you like Asuka?

I never said that.

She's mine.

I can't let you.

Tell me honestly.

But...

Forget about her.

I'll Kill you...

...to get Asuka and join Shocker again.

Haruhiko!

Miyoko!

You look fine.

I'm okay.

I'll be fine after another operation.

The flowers will bloom next year.

I seeded them.

The same flowers you brought me.

Let's come to see them next year.

Yes.

Water is alive.

This image is the water crystals we're studying in our laboratory.

You can observe they're growing.

As you can see, they change shape.

Next image, please.

These are taken from a spring at 1000m above sea level.

Water crystals are well balanced and spread in 6 directions.

Water's just like a mirror.

It changes beautifully before beauty.

Excuse me.

I have a question.

What is it?

What's a beautiful thing for you?

Life.

Why did you lie to me?

I know now.

You never killed Katsuhiko.

You even saved my life, too.

I thought you'd be at ease by hating me.

That's why.

You hurt yourself by caring about others. It's silly.

But...

But?

But...

Thank you.

Shocker...

The ones who attacked me?

They destroy beautiful things.

I'm not that nice, right?

I said terrible things.

No...

...you didn't

Yes, you did.

But that's okay.

Be nice to me only.

I'll be on my way.

Where you going?

You like Asuka, too?

Don't run away.

What are you saying? Stop it.

Hey.

Why'd you say such things?

If you want her, don't run away.

But I don't know...

...what to do.

Be confident.

We're cyborgs.

I didn't know what to do at the beginning...

...about my being a cyborg.

I lost something and gained something.

I protected what I wanted to with what I gained.

That's how I feel now.

Good.

That's the way.

You're a good guy.

Don't kid me.

I said I'd kill you.

You're lucky.

You were chosen to be a cyborg and saved from death.

She's been taken by Shocker.

Can you die for a woman you love?

We're almost there.

Let's go, Hongo.

We can't handle them.

Get out of here.

Hey, what are you doing?

Do what you want!

Can you die for the woman you love?

You're stupid.

I'll finish you.

I didn't know I was really a good guy.

Yes, you are. I told you so.

Ready?

Let's finish 'em!

Okay.

The flowers will bloom next year.

I seeded them.

Let's come to see them next year.

Yes.

It's blooming.

Just one.

Thank you.

Get Asuka quickly.

Asuka!

Hurry up!

Asuka, are you okay?

Asuka!

Asuka!

I guess I lost.

Good luck.

We have to build a new facility and gather new materials.

We have to get all the men remade.

Let me decide who to kidnap.

I knew...

...you would help me.
