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

Sh...

Shocker?!

Wha...

Wha-Wha...

Wha-Wha-Wha?!

What the hell?!

You saw.

I've gotta kill you too.

You think you can kill him?

What's with the getup?

I'm Electro-Wave Human, Tackle.

And what the hell is that?

You think you can beat me just because you put on that—

I do.

Because I'm Tackle.

Asano-kun.

Y-Yes?!

You should've gone home by now.

Go on. Hurry.

Sorry!

Screw you.

I can't let him live after seeing my secret!

Both of you are gonna die.

You shitty humans!

Your boyfriend is human too, you know.

Mitsuba doesn't count.

But you—

Die!

Too weak!

You're just a human!

And all you've got is brute strength!

Electro-Wave Throw!

I could use your help with something.

What's this?

TOJIMA WANTS TO BE A KAMEN RIDER

Tojima-san. Okada-san.

It's great to see you again.

I never imagined you'd ask to meet like this.

So, what are we talking about today?

Well...

Here she is.

Who's that?

Your girlfriend's part of Shocker.

No... Yukarisu is...?

I can only imagine the shock of someone you care about being in Shocker.

You never noticed?

Kinda dense.

It can't be!

How could Yukarisu be one of my family's nemeses?!

Nemeses? What do you mean?

It looks like I'll have to tell you the rest...

The story of me, my brother, and Shocker: The Monster Encounter Arc!

You encountered a monster?!

I'd love to hear about it!

Please keep it concise this time.

It was after we had learned about Shocker's existence... during summer vacation.

We visited our grandparents' house in the suburbs.

Suddenly...

Good evening! We're here to steal your stuff!

Okay, pardon the intrusion, folks.

Grandpa!

Tie up the old-timer.

With what?!

Whatever you can find!

And where do I find it?

– The whole point is you find it, duh! – Grandpa! Are you okay?!

Can't have him causing trou—

Ichiyo?!

You asshole...

What is this brat's pro—

Who do you think you are?!

You little... shyeet!

Sh...

Shocker!

You think I care?!

You...

I am done playing around with you!

Ichiyo!

We have an update on the armored car that was attacked.

Eyewitness reports describe a pair of attackers, one male and one female.

The suspects are currently at large,

– and the police are continuing their search. – That was me, by the way.

Quit eating our food!

But what're we gonna do?

Why would you wanna steal stuff with a human like me?

That's gonna mean both the cops and Shocker are after you.

It's fine.

We're the Japanese Bonnie and Clyde! Right?

Sure are.

I'm back.

Who're you folks?

Grandma! They're thieves!

An old lady? This is an old lady?!

And what are a pair of thieves doing eating in my house?!

Oh my god! Are you okay?!

– Get it out! – You okay there, honey?

– How?! – You okay there, honey?

– I appreciate it. – Think for yourself for once, damn!

Where do I pull on it? Here? Here? Like this?

– Look after the boys. – Where do I pull on it? Here? Here? Like this?

Right.

Be careful, Grandma!

Maybe you shouldn't—

Get out. Now.

Hey!

Enough! Let him go!

We better help Grandma!

It's fine.

My honey can take out that trash with no—

No way!

Grandma!

Honey!

Honey—!

Grandpa!

This turned into a total mess.

A pair of brats.

Grandpa... Grandma...

We couldn't confirm for sure, but...

It was most likely...

A monster.

That's right. My grandparents were killed by Shocker.

Who're you?

He's absolutely radiating aura.

I mentioned him in the story. This is my brother, Ichiyo.

I asked him to come and meet you.

But I don't know what he'll do if he sees Yukarisu in her Shocker form!

I better hide her!

Hurricane!

And you are...?

Yuriko Okada.
