Scared Rider Xechs

Oh, no!

Please spare me!

Somebody, help me!

Ha-ha-ha! Screaming won't do any good!

Just give up and stamp your seal on this marriage registration

with me, the great Snow Crab Commander!

I have your registered seal right here.

Ah, he even brought along my registered seal without asking!

What a terrible predicament! Ah!

I will use any means necessary to accomplish my goal.

Hold it!

Huh? Who are you?!

You are one shameless jerk,

trying to take this pure woman's first marriage from her!

Um, and brimming with the same nutrients as green and yellow veggies.

Your momma was a crab.

Heaven may forgive you, but we will deal justice for your evil deeds!

Hmph.

Beta-carotene compounds...

Just because you have extra legs...

Plentiful vitamins...

Who do you think you are--

You're going down, raw material!

Damn! In that case, you be sure to make that girl happy!

Heh, that takes care of that.

What's the secret of our strength? I'll tell you...

--Green Juice Xechs! --Healthy Green Juice Xechs!

All-new and ready for you to buy-cycle!

And cut!

Good work, everyone!

"Secret Promotional Plan"

I'm requesting a re-shoot.

What are you talking about? It got the okay, so who cares?

I'm not satisfied with our performance.

There's more room for improvement.

Whoa, Takt, what's with your script? It's covered in red marks.

I've reimagined the aim of the dialogue and meaning of the scenes in my own way,

and am submitting a more fitting production plan.

You've written an awful lot here, haven't you?

I can't help that it's hard to read now.

You really brought that upon yourself.

--It wasn't me who-- --Sorry to keep you all waiting.

The final checks were all okayed, too.

Good work, everyone!

Is something the matter?

Tell me, Instructor!

Why do we have to appear in a health drink commercial?!

Well, I told you, remember?

It's a publicity campaign to play up LAG and the Riders' familiarity

with the general population.

Yeah, because LAG is a military organization.

It's important to appeal to people's sense of security.

Why did you choose health drinks?

What was your real reason for adopting this skit-like script?

Takt, are you having a malcontented Monday?

You're the one who brought up our performance.

As long as we've accepted,

it's only right that we give a 100% performance!

I'm just saying what I said before.

I think that this commercial went perfectly for my production plan.

Production plan?

Yes, this!

What is that?

Aside from the LAG publicity campaign, I thought this up.

I wanted to let the people of the world get to know you better.

Huh, there's a lot written here.

Commercial appearances, a variety show blitz,

our band debut?

Don't you think it's great?

Ridiculous. We are a combat unit.

Don't go taking up our time with non-combat-related nonsense.

Oh, wait, Takt!

That was a horror show.

Shura-Lover-bashing is pretty rough.

Don't let him drive you up a tree, Teacher.

I guess maybe Takt doesn't want to do anything he doesn't have to.

There's magic in the winds of Shonan. Those are your own words.

I don't remember saying that.

Do you remember before, when you lent me those CDs?

You haven't returned them yet.

That doesn't matter right now.

Okay then, what?

They were all rock band CDs.

I just collected them, thinking I could use them as reference

with my resonance and Noiserender combat training. No other reason.

There was a single live concert video mixed in with them.

It shows a band free of any constraint, singing as they pleased.

Where was the concert's location?

Shonan, wasn't it?

The kind of guitar that you use is the same one that that band used.

Coincidence.

The rhythm guitar that I use is also the same as theirs.

The one who gave me that guitar was you, remember?

Is that also a coincidence?

I see that for as half-baked as you are,

you only remember useless stuff, just like you always have.

Stop beating around the bush, just come out and say what you mean.

What are you trying to say?

The truth is, you really think of yourself like that band, don't you?

If you're done watching it, give it back.

No.

What?!

I do whatever I want to, and whatever I feel like. What about you?

I can't be like you, and do nothing but act on my feelings.

There are a lot of things I have to think about, as well.

Like the instructor.

What about the instructor?

It's nothing.

Wow...

Shonan is really that amazing a place?

For band members, it's like a holy land.

Band members? We just barely formed our band, didn't we?

Band... Holy land...

What's going on with you, Teacher?

Let's make a promotional video!

Huh?

A PV! A PV! We're in Shonan anyway, so let's make an Odd-I's PV!

What do you know, that sounds like fun!

Greatest idea and icon!

Whoa, now, hold on. What song do we have for a PV?

If we have nothing, we can just make one--a new song!

Starting right now? That's impossible, you know.

I want to give it a try.

Yosuke...

I'm sure Takt will be in, too.

He knows what the winds here mean, as well.

--New song! New song! New song! --Good grief. Well, what other choice is there?

--New song! New song! New song! --Yuji, you, too? Are you serious?

Let's make it! An Odd-I's promotional video with a new song!

So, why are you fishing?

Kazuki said he would cover the lyrics and composition.

All I can do is take in the ocean with my whole being,

and then deliver that same sensation, right?

You just want to fish, don't you?

Wait, I'm not so sure about leaving this up to Kazuki.

Hmm? There's a lot of people there, huh?

There's some kind of event happening here tonight.

A beach relay, a yakisoba speed-eating contest,

and a Marquis concert.

Say, why does the instructor want to publicize us to everyone?

Who knows?

You think she's toying with us for her own amusement?

Maybe.

I want to know what her true intentions are now.

That's why I agreed to do this.

Is that...?

Got one! Hiro, give me a hand!

Huh?!

Since we don't know when the enemy might appear,

one could say that traveling by VOX is a necessity.

Even if it's to go to a publicity commercial shoot.

Yes, sir.

Two?

What are you doing, Yosuke?

Should I add red ginger to yours?

Answer my question!

Yosuke, some strawberry shave ice.

Two of them.

As you wish.

You, too, Instructor?! What is going on?!

Yosuke said he wanted to do a Cooking Club activity,

so we're borrowing this stand.

Here's your money.

Thanks!

That doesn't explain--

Heavy on the red ginger.

Director Ishidera?!

Thank you for your order.

Hey! Guys!

Look at this!

I caught a whopper!

Amazing!

A... fish...

--Eh? --Huh?

Yuji, hold on! Yosuke can't stand fish-- Aw, too late.

Oh, no. How could I let this happen? I was so caught up, I forgot!

This is an emergency.

Huh? What?

Don't...

Don't...

...look--

look at me!!

What's the matter?! Take it easy!

Ah! Director Ishidera!

Are you all right, Director soba-dera?

That's Ishidera.

"Yakisoba"

Delicious and dangerous! What a mishap, huh, Teacher?

I'll definitely have to write an apology letter for this later.

Yosuke is hopeless around fish eyes goddamn it.

This isn't going to work. Takt said he was researching something,

and has locked himself inside the VOX,

while Yuji and Hiro are playing around on the beach.
