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

Well... thanks for walking me home.

He...

He's super duper hot!

Not to mention...

He looks just like him!

What are you staring at?

Maybe you did see what happened?

U-Um, would you like to come in for a drink?

Lately, killing normal people causes more of a commotion than killing petty crooks.

So, I'm letting you live.

Excuse me?!

He just hit me with the most random edgelord talk I ever heard!

Add to that the fact that he could carry me like a princess...

It's like someone custom built a hottie just for me!

E-Excuse me.

Are you trying to conquer the world, by any chance?

How did you know that?!

He answered in an instant?!

Uh, well, the premise you came up with...

Premise?

He said it with a straight face. That's so perfect.

He's like a model example of how to indulge in edgy fantasies!

To be honest...

I'm the fruit of a forbidden union between human royalty

and a dark god bent on global conquest.

Which has made me the key to the fate of the world—

Princess Setasena.

This is our secret, okay?

That's a lie.

Y-Yeah.

Why would you lie about that?

I guess you didn't like that backstory...

But...

Please, let me thank you somehow!

Just don't expect anything too... physical, though.

Unless... maybe...

See? Good, isn't it?

I love ramen!

It's almost all I need in life.

Y'know, I... the truth is, I'm an idol.

But...

Because I like ramen so much,

Junko—she was another idol in my group...

And she got fed up with me.

But thinking it over...

I mean, ramen is all I have!

And I need to keep performing as an idol

to earn the money I need for ramen, y'know?

But when I went back to the agency...

Junko and the others were all acting like monsters.

I guess I can't be an idol anymore.

That sounds like Bat Man's doing.

Oh, it's time!

Sorry.

Okay, all set.

Pops, could you do the honors again?

Got it! Rolling.

What is about to happen?

I am...

The masked idol, Heavy Chop!

THE MASKED IDOL, HEAVY CHOP

HEAVY CHOP'S RAMEN COMMENTARY

All right, it's time for another stream from the masked idol, Heavy Chop!

Were you all waiting for me?

Thank you so much!

I'm coming to you from my favorite ramen cart, as usual!

This is going to be a simple little episode:

I'm going to dance my heart out, and then eat ramen to my heart's content!

So keep those comments coming!

Here I go!

Pops!

Here you go!

So good! It's delicious!

Looks good!

I get happy just watching her being happy.

That's a good appetite!

What is this woman?

Chop, chop, heavy chop!

Thanks for the soup!

His acumen for ramen will make it go straight to my abdomen,

but I'm still a hit with the gentlemen!

And after that day, he and I...

After that day, that woman and I...

Started living together for some reason.

He accepted the key I gave him.

There's still nothing romantic going on, though.

RAMEN TONGA

As a monster, I normally don't consume human food.

But for some reason, I find myself eating what she does.

When I go out, he accepts packages for me.

Lately, he's been watching my streams...

and sometimes it seems like he's smiling.

As a monster, I normally don't sleep.

But when I rest on this woman's lap, for some reason, I do.

Now, then...

Time for another high-energy stream!

I'll get it.

Please. And thanks.

Who are you?

I should be asking you that.

What is it? Who was there?

Hachiro Hakkyoku-san...

Sena.

Sena.

I'm sorry I kept you waiting for so long.

Hakkyoku-san was... my first love.

We met two years ago...

Let's take a little break, Sena.

Okay.

I wish we could get our break!

Hit it big, and then go out for yakiniku once a week!

Oh, come on, Junko.

I'd want to go around trying all different kinds of ramen!

Ramen? You can eat that whenever.

Don't make ramen sound so cheap!

It's at the tippy top of my food pyramid!

Whatever you say!

Where's that red bean bun fall, then?

Maybe third place?

That's a high-rated bun! It got the bronze medal!

Hey, your bronze medal got snatched!

No...

No!

Bun!

Bun!

So good!

It's like the flame of my life... got some much-needed fuel.

Is this a sign... to keep on living and fighting?

How should we know?

Please, live on.

Here.

Some milk to drink.

Th-Thank you.

He chugged it in an instant!

Thank you.

You were looking forward to that bronze medal red bean bun, and I...

I really appreciate it.

He was eavesdropping, too? Creepy.

Please, let me repay you somehow.

It's fine! Don't worry about it.

Come on!
