Chapter 289 The Ultimate Fun: Kamen Rider GP Tournament

Shuka Town.

Yuto Sakurai was fooled by Number 3's superb acting skills and broke into the town called Knight Town, which was actually Shocker Castle. He found the Hongo House and, led by Tachibana Tobei, arrived at the underground base beneath the Hongo House.

"Is this the electronic brain that stores the souls of Number 1 and Number 2?" Yuto Sakurai asked, looking at the electronic brain before him.

Tachibana Tobei explained, "It is a state-of-the-art, top-notch technological product made using all the wealth of the Hongo family."

"But why don't we see any other Kamen Riders, Number 1?" Yuto Sakurai asked.

"I am not number one." The voice of the Shocker leader rang out in the underground base.

"Huh?"

"I am the Great Leader of Shocker," said the Shocker leader.

At the same time, a figure wearing a red robe and a red pointed hat was projected on both sides of the electronic brain.

This is clearly the image of the Shocker leader.

"Besides, this isn't Knight Town, it's Shocker City!"

As soon as the Shocker leader finished speaking, the underground base began to shake, and the electronic brains displaying the Shocker emblem began to slowly rise.

"Hahaha!" Tachibana Tobei also let out a cold laugh, smashed the lantern in his hand, and in the blink of an eye transformed into a leech chameleon monster, slowly approaching Sakurai Yuuto.

Yuto Sakurai glanced at the slowly rising electronic head, then turned and ran outside.

In this situation, anyone who isn't a fool can see that they've been tricked.

That guy, number 3, is indeed from Shocker's side.

"Stop!" The leech chameleon monster also gave chase.

Yuto Sakurai ran outside and watched as the electronic brain and several servers slowly rose from the ground.

At this moment, the villains of the Knights of the Ages slowly strolled over and completely surrounded Sakurai Yuto. Among the group of monsters, the most conspicuous one was none other than No. 3, Kuroi Hibikichiro, who maintained a human appearance.

"Thank you for your hard work." Kuroi Kyoichiro looked at Sakurai Yuto and said with a faint smile.

"I'm such an idiot, I actually believed you for even a moment." Yuto Sakurai said with a stern face, looking at Kyoichiro Kuroi.

"Betrayal is the very word for Kamen Rider. I have always been a Shocker Rider, swearing allegiance, and I have not betrayed anyone," said Kyōichirō Kuroi.

"Now everything makes sense," came Shinnosuke Tomari's voice from the side.

Having changed his clothes, Tomari Shinnosuke walked to Sakurai Yuto's side while looking at the villains in front of him.

"Forced." Yuto Sakurai looked at Shinnosuke Tomari.

"In other words, gathering Kamen Riders here to rebel against Shocker is actually a trap to annihilate the righteous Kamen Riders in one fell swoop," said Shinnosuke Tomari.

"If you knew that, why did you still show up?" The champion boy, now dressed in the Shocker Junior Army uniform, questioned.

"You were back then..." Shinnosuke Tomari looked on with a hint of surprise when he saw the boy who had spoken up.

"And this guy, they're all important hostages." Genhachiro pushed Shijima Kiriko, who was bound by iron chains, over.

"Kiriko..."

"Don't worry about me. Even if it's just Mr. Park alone, we must continue to survive," said Kiriko Shijima.

"You lost, give up," Kuroi Hibikichiro said calmly.

The villains from past dynasties slowly walked towards the two of them.

"I need to survive, so I must move forward!" Tomari Shinnosuke raised his head, looked at the enormous electronic head before him, and asked, "Great Boss, do you dare accept my challenge?"

"A challenge?" Upon hearing this, Chief Shocker became somewhat interested. He wanted to see what tricks this knight was up to.

"I'll race the Shocker Knight and myself," said Shinnosuke Tomari.

"What games are you playing!" Black General said disdainfully.

"Just like your catchphrase, the strongest cyborg is the one who can quickly control machines. Since you value speed so much, let's have a speed contest!" Shinnosuke Tomari said, looking at the huge electronic head that housed the Shocker leader's consciousness.

"Hmph." Kuroi Kyōichirō scoffed, "Didn't you already lose to me?"

"You can't say you've won unless you beat your opponent to a pulp," Shinnosuke Tomari retorted, quoting a line from Kyoichiro Kuroi.

"Hahaha! Interesting! I accept!" The Shocker leader laughed and agreed.

In his view, the remaining knights were nothing more than grasshoppers in autumn, unable to hop around for much longer. Being able to watch an interesting knight GP tournament for his amusement was a way for them to make the most of their remaining energy.

"But the Great Chief..." General Black was about to say something when he was interrupted by the Great Chief of Shocka.

"It would be easy to kill him here. But I'd like to see the match," said the Shocker chieftain.

"However... if I win, you have to give Kiriko back to me, and the child's smiling face," said Shinnosuke Tomari.

"Alright." Chief Shocker readily agreed, saying, "The match is tomorrow. Before then, you all better behave yourselves."

The Shocker skeletons also ran to Yuto Sakurai and Shinnosuke Tomari, held their swords to their sides, and escorted them into Shocker's cell.

……

Not far away, Shen Yun, who witnessed the whole process, could only sigh and rub his forehead in exasperation.

The Shocker chieftain is just having fun.

He finally understood.

Why did they have to make number 3 act as an actor to lure those righteous knights when they could have easily crushed them?

According to the Shocker leader's idea, he probably felt that it would be too boring to just crush these righteous knights in one fell swoop. He wanted to let Number 3 gain the trust of the righteous knights, then let Number 3 lure the righteous knights into the Shocker trap, and finally defeat and brainwash the righteous knights. Wouldn't that be more fun?

Isn't this much more interesting than crushing those knights?

What kind of ultimate fun-loving person is this?

Just because you're immortal, you think you can act recklessly?

As an aggregate of evil energy, the Shocker Chief has no concept of death.

Even if the Shocker chief is killed, at most the Shocker chief will only be put into a slumber for a period of time.

Once it absorbs enough evil spirit energy, the Shocker chieftain will awaken again and return.

Even if humanity goes extinct, the Shocker leader will not die.

If intelligent life similar to humans were to evolve on Earth again, the Shocker leader would awaken once more, bringing despair and terror to intelligent life on Earth.

"However..." Shen Yun looked at Tomari Shinnosuke and Sakurai Yuto being escorted by Shocker Bone Fighters, and stroked his chin, saying, "The Knight GP Tournament, huh? That's really interesting. If it were me, I think I'd agree too."

Shen Yun discovered that he seemed to be influenced by the leader of Shocker and was gradually transforming into a fun-loving person.

After seeing that the matter was over, Shen Yun returned to the laboratory.

"Doctor, the candidate for the modification surgery has been selected," said the scientist from Shocker.

"Well, the modification surgery will be carried out tomorrow. Today, let's start by improving the Sky Whirlwind," Shen Yun said casually.

He's going to see some fun tomorrow, and it won't be too late to have the modification surgery after he's done.

"Yes."

……

prison.

Yuto Sakurai and Shinnosuke Tomari were imprisoned in an empty cell with only two beds.

The two sat facing each other. Sakurai Yuto looked at Tomari Shinnosuke, puzzled, and asked, "You should know that Shocker is unlikely to keep its promises, right? Why did you still propose the match?"

"There are still things that don't make sense," said Tomari Shinnosuke.

"Something that doesn't make sense?" Yuto Sakurai also felt a bit puzzled.

"Hmm." Shinnosuke Tomari nodded and continued, "If Kuroi's goal is to lure us here for Shocker, just to kill us, isn't that going to be too complicated?" (Why? I'm looking for the reason too.jpg)

"So that means Shocker's goal wasn't to kill us?" Yuto Sakurai understood the meaning behind Shinnosuke Tomari's words.

Tomari Shinnosuke nodded and said, "I'm afraid the Great Boss has a purpose that even Kuroi doesn't know about."

"So, the competition was proposed to reveal the truth?" Yuto Sakurai suddenly realized.

"Hmm." Tomari Shinnosuke nodded, a thoughtful look on his face, and said, "And there's one more thing."

"What is it?"

After a moment of silence, Tomari Shinnosuke said, "Let's go to sleep first. We'll see about everything tomorrow."

After saying that, Tomari Shinnosuke turned over, got into bed, covered himself with a blanket, turned off the chandelier, and went to sleep.

"?"

Hey, don't just say half of what you mean!

However, seeing that Shinnosuke Tomari had already fallen asleep, Yuto Sakurai had no choice but to go to sleep as well.

……

The next day.

Shen Yun arrived at the venue for the Knight GP Tournament and sat in the best spot with a good view, ready to watch the GP Tournament that was about to begin.

The contestants drove their vehicles slowly onto the track.

The beautiful Shocker girls, all smiling, stood beside the knights, holding signs bearing the knight's crest.

There are quite a few competitors in this GP race, and the top contenders are Drive's Setron and No. 3's Sanshi Cyclone.

Inside the racetrack, every seat was taken, and the stands were filled with Shocker Bones, who waved Shocker flags to cheer on the Shocker Knights below.

Above their heads stood two crosses, with Kiriko Shijima and Yuto Sakurai bound to them respectively.

Hachiro and three other boys who had just won a prize and joined the Shocker Junior Army were assigned to guard the two.

The enormous mind, harboring the consciousness of the Shocker leader, began its address as the host: "Listen up, foolish humans! The Kamen Rider GP Tournament is about to begin. The participants include a ten-man team led by Shocker Rider Ace Number 3. As for Drive, who rose to fame by challenging us Shocker, let's see his tragic end. Which Rider will claim the glory of being the fastest and strongest? Hahahaha, let's enjoy the Kamen Rider GP Tournament!"

As the leader of Shocker spoke, the camera panned across the ten contestants in turn.

People on the street also gathered in front of the screen to watch the game.

As the signal lights went out, the ten participating riders drove off in their respective vehicles.

The No. 3 Cyclone took the lead, but before it had gone far, it was overtaken from the side by Drive's Setron.

Seeing Drive run ahead of him, Number 3 also pressed a button on the dashboard.

Several missiles were launched from the Type 3 Cyclone and bombarded the area around the Setron. The continuous explosions forced the Setron to stop in place.

The Type 3 Cyclone also took the opportunity to overtake the Sethron and maintain its leading position.

Seeing the Type 3 Cyclone overtake, the Shocker Bone players on the field cheered.

"What? A Rider version of Road Rash?" Shen Yun chuckled.

This kind of item-based race reminded him of a racing game he used to play when he was a child.

Of course, speed isn't the key here; brute force is.

Top of the field.

"Great!" Genhachiro cheered excitedly, clenching his fist.

"That's despicable!" Yuto Sakurai exclaimed angrily.

"That's right, it's against the rules," Kiriko Shijima said, turning to Genhachiro. (Kiriko's black stockings look really good here.)

"As long as we win, that's all that matters," Genhachiro said indifferently.

After Cyclone was forced to stop by a missile fired from the Type 3 Cyclone, the other Shocker riders overtook him, leaving Drive in last place.

"Using any means necessary?" Drive muttered to himself, looking at the Shocker Knights who had already run ahead.

Then Drive stepped on the gas and chased after them again.

The leading number 3, looking at Drive, who had fallen to the back in the rearview mirror, chuckled and said, "The one who wins this game will be the fastest and strongest knight."

With Drive's strong comeback, Sethlon is now close to Wizard, who is in ninth place.

Seeing Drive had arrived behind him, Wizard pressed the right handle and reversed the direction of the hand-like part in the middle of the belt, making it face to the right.

Wizard placed the magic ring on his right hand into the hand-like part in the center of the driver, unleashing the power of the right ring.

"Big Please!"

A red magic circle covered in magical patterns appeared beside Wizard. Wizard reached his left hand into the magic circle, and a huge arm emerged from the other side of the red magic circle, slapping the Drive that was driving behind him.

Drive quickly slowed down and kept drifting, dodging the blows from Wizard's giant hand.

Seeing that his attack had no effect on Drive, Wizard once again turned the lever on the Drive at his waist, and then placed his right hand on the black palm in the center of the Drive.

"Bind Please!"

The next moment, a red magic circle appeared in all four directions of Setron, and a chain shot out from the red magic circle, wrapping around Setron's car and slowing it down.

"Tire Fuerul!"

Seeing this, Drive immediately activated its tire booster, and several tires were ejected from the rear wheels of the Cetron, severing all the chains wrapped around the Cetron's body.

Drive accelerated and overtook Wizard, moving into ninth place.

However, due to Wizard's interference, Drive has fallen far behind the other eight riders.

Meanwhile, the leading eight riders had already entered the straight track. On this straight track, W, piloting the Boomerang Sprinter, caught up and overtook the other riders, including Kamen Rider No. 3, with a single acceleration, reaching the same position as Gaim.

Looking at the leading W and Gaim, Number 3 said coldly, "Even if they are Shocker Knights, I will not show them any mercy."

Stab it!

The rear wheel of the Type 3 Cyclone, driven by number 3, suddenly ejected a spinning head covered with sharp spikes.

Number 3 stepped on the gas, accelerating forward and using the spinning drill on the rear wheel to puncture the tires of Gaim's Sakura Hurricane and W's Boomerang Sprinter, causing both cars to explode on the track.

Seeing this scene before them, the three children who had just joined the Shocker Youth Army stared wide-eyed.

"They're even attacking Shocker's knights?"

"Aren't they companions?"

Drive, who was catching up from behind, did nothing, yet his ranking moved up two places to seventh.

Suddenly, a purple rider on a motorcycle rushed in from outside, crashed into the arena, and landed next to Drive's Cytro.

"You damned knight who's a human's companion!" Chesha said, and then planned to use his Chaser to ram into Sethron.

At that moment, a man wearing a white jacket and white jeans slowly walked towards the track ahead.

"That person is...."

"As long as there is light in this world, I will be resurrected!" Minami Kotaro said firmly.

After saying that, he spread his five fingers on his right hand and stretched them towards the sky, then slowly lowered them to his front.

"Hen Shin!"

Minami Kotaro swung his right hand, made a fist and placed it at his waist, then swung his left hand forward and made a fist and held it upright in front of him.

His eyes lit up with a dazzling light, like welding torches, and the solar sublimator appeared at his waist.

The endless radiance of the sun transforms into visible particles, radiating outwards from within.

Under the dazzling light, Kotaro Minami also transforms into Kamen Rider Black RX.

"I am the son of the sun, Kamen Rider Black RX!" RX said, striking his classic pose.

"Ledoron!" RX called out and leaped into the air.

A red sports car with fin-like spikes in the middle drove up from behind, and the doors of the Ledoron opened upwards, allowing the jumping RX to land in the cockpit.

With a single acceleration, Ledoron weaved between the Chaser driver and the Drive's Cetron.

"Your light has become my hope, so entrust it to me!" RX said.

"Hmm!" Drive nodded, stepped on the gas, and the speed increased rapidly, quickly closing the distance with the other Shocker Knights.

After Drive left, the massive jaws that had been stored in front of the vehicle unfolded, and it turned around to bite Chesa and his Chaser, rubbing them against the wall.

Meanwhile, Drive caught up with Kabuto, who was in sixth place.

To be able to interpret Yonemura's utterly worthless plot in such a creative way, that's truly impressive.

While browsing the Kamen Rider forum today looking for information, I came across a live stream post about Kamen Rider Kiwami. It seems like an Ultraman fan watched Kiwami on a friend's recommendation.

It seems like this is the other person's first time watching Kamen Rider. The post is full of "kkr" comments, it's hilarious! They've already streamed up to episode 45, I recommend checking it out. The poster's name is: Melody of the Holy Moon.
