Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider (東島丹三郎は仮面ライダーになりたい)

I'm sorry, Mitsuba.

I love you. I do.

I really loved you...

But I can't anymore!

Yukarisu.

Sh...

Shocker!

Wh-Wh-Wh-Wha...

What!?

Electro-Wave Throw!

Rider...

Kick!

No way...

They're only human... but they just wiped out a squad...

of Sh-Shocker combatants...

And then there was one.

That's you.

Wait, Ichiyo!

M-Mitsuba?

Could I have a moment

to speak with Yukarisu?

No, I want an answer now.

To what?

This woman of yours...

Do you intend to marry this Shocker combatant?

M-M-Marry?!

Marry her?! Ichiyo, what are you talking about?!

A man and a woman being together means they intend to get married, doesn't it?

That's a bit simplistic.

There's more to it?!

Not you, too!

Well... is there no middle ground?

No, there's not!

You'll either marry her, or won't.

That's the bottom line.

And there are no other options?

Just those two!

So, when I say middle ground—

Mitsuba!

Choose. Now.

What's going on here?

How have so many combatants been defeated?

I-It's him!

The monster!

Wh-What?! Is that true?

This skinny, sickly man is one of them?

– You can't be serious! He's a monster? – So obnoxious.

You can't be serious! He's a monster?

– You can't be serious! He's a monster? – Is he your boss, Yukarisu?

– He can transform into one? Even though he's so scrawny? Look at him! – Y-Yes...

Well?! Is it true?!

It is!

I'm asking you!

Shut up.

I bet you cause trouble wherever you go.

I've definitely got you beat when it comes to manners.

Well, good for you!

Looks like you've dropped the mask... literally.

Yukarisu.

I'm going to protect you!

Wh-Where are you going?

He wants to protect me?

But I'm Shocker...

Transform...

V3!

You face V3.

I'm here too!

No. I can take him on my own.

Stay out of this! I can handle him by myself.

No, I get to go first!

Is he... laughing at us?

V3 Mach Speed Kick!

What?!

Electro-Wave Throw—

Rider Punch!

V3—

Chop!

Chop! Chop! Chop! Chop! Chop! Chop!

It's the Spider Man!

You're not leaving me with much of a choice.

What's the matter? I thought we were fighting.

Mind if I take the initiative, then?

Granted, your head's coming off next.

Wha...

Who did that?!

No way...

Mitsuba, is that you?

That's right!

R... R-R-R...

LET ME BE V3 TOO

LET ME BE V3 TOO Riderman!

LET ME BE V3 TOO

Riderman.

The fourth Rider ever, who appears in Kamen Rider V3!

Did you... get changed?

Riderman!

That's right. I transformed!

But like... you changed your clothes.

It's a transformation!

Ichiyo, we can't beat him like this! We need to withdraw for now!

A retreat does seem wise.

It's okay. That wire can withstand two tanks pulling it in opposite directions.

Yukarisu, we're running!

B-But I... A-And you, Mitsuba...

Why are you Riderman?!

I see.

You want to know why I became Riderman?!

Now? You're doing this, now?!

Me and My Brother's Rider Story: The Conflict Arc!

Yukarisu, you deserve to know!

KAMEN RIDER V3

KAMEN RIDER V3 Kamen Rider V3, Shiro Kazami,

lost his parents and little sister to monsters,

and was seriously injured as well.

Make me... make me into a cyborg!
