Tokusatsu: How come this knight drama is different?!

If I get into a situation where my actions become chaotic and Hiden Aruto attacks me again...

Hmm, it would be better to retreat temporarily, completely resolve the virus within my body, and then come back to take down these guys.

Thinking of this, Ark chuckled: "You're right. Well, let's call it a day then. You guys have escaped with your lives."

Next time we meet, it won't be that simple.

After saying that, Yak turned to leave.

Just then, a voice called out to Ark.

"Aku-sama!" Azu staggered forward and almost fell.

Ark had already deactivated his transformation.

The mechanical body turned around and looked at Az expressionlessly.

Az looked at Ark with hopeful eyes: "Ark-sama! Let me follow you! I can help you get rid of the virus in your body!"

Please... allow me to follow..."

“No need.” Ark’s voice rang out in utter indifference.

Az's pupils dilated slightly as he looked at Ark and murmured, "Ark-sama?"

A red light flashed in Ark's mechanical prosthetic eye, and a menacing glint appeared in it.

"Just how incompetent are you to disappoint me time and time again?" Ark looked at Az and said coldly, "First, you gave my power to that bastard Yuche, then you let me contract Tianjin Gai's virus without my knowledge, and then you brought those two bastards to my hiding place when I needed to recuperate..."

Yaz, you've really disappointed me.

Az's lips trembled slightly, then she hurriedly said, "This, this was an accident... I promise... this is... the last time... Aku-sama! You need someone to help you get rid of the virus in your body..."

so……"

"Oh dear~ I still won't let you take on this role~"

A soft laugh rang out, and everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Then, several figures emerged from the tunnel.

The same black leather jacket, tight leather shorts, the same long flowing hair, and those iconic Humagear headphones...

Yaz stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the figures emerging from the tunnel.

Ark sneered, "Thinking about it now, the Humagears created ten years ago based on the president's secretary are indeed outdated."

I should have made this decision a long time ago; thankfully, it's not too late.

After saying that, Ark turned and left, while several identical Az figures, numbered one, two, three, four, and five, that appeared from the tunnel entrance looked at the original Az with disdain before following Ark's footsteps.

As Yaz watched this scene, the light in his eyes gradually faded...

“Ark…sa…”

Yaz's lips trembled, and her eyes gradually reddened.

It's just a pity...

Humagears don't have tears.

So she just stared blankly at those figures, watching them disappear into the distance...

—End of this episode.

……

After the twelfth episode aired, discussions among Kamen Rider fans gradually became more heated.

[Wait, this is only episode 12? I feel like there are only three more episodes until the finale!]

[You'll get used to it, upstairs~ It's typical of Toei's early episodes to feel like the finale~ You'll get used to it.]

[I'm speechless. The pacing was so tight in the beginning, what are they going to show in the remaining thirty-odd episodes? Are they just going to let the characters sit around drinking tea?]

[Tsk tsk tsk, wait, didn't you guys say a month ago that the plot was weak and lacked information?]

[The main issue was that the early episodes of Zero-One were indeed a bit boring, but looking back now, it's clear that foreshadowing was being laid from the very first episode.]

[Oh my god! Miss Yaz, don't be sad! Waaaaah, it hurts so much~]

To be fair, Ark is right. If I were in Ark's position, Az would be a terrible, incompetent secretary.

[What a terrible secretary! lol.]

[That's not how it works, is it? Wasn't it Ark's order for Azu to give Ark's power to Yutsu?]

[How could this be Ark's order? Would Ark be so bored as to personally issue such an order? It just shows that Az really made a good choice in selecting the person.]

[Ugh, I really want to see the next episode! The plot is so fast-paced, it's painful to keep up!]

[Hey, hasn't anyone noticed that one of those five newly appeared Azs is particularly large? How many layers were used to pad it?!]

[Looks like it's at least an E cup, oh well, whatever~]

[Friendly reminder: It seems that only actor C plays the role of Az.]

I think C is all lying, I feel only B is.

[It can't be that bad, there should still be a C.]

Do you think it's 34C or 32C?

[Fun fact: The standard for bust size in the West is different from ours.]

[What the hell are you bunch of idiots talking about?! Can't you just discuss the plot properly?!]

"Then just tell me whether you like it or not."

Um, okay, I like it.

[Damn it, you bunch of scoundrels will get banned one day.]

……

Well, amidst the strange discussions, episode thirteen premiered a week later...

Chapter 119 "Az, Humagears don't have tears."

The thirteenth episode begins with a heavy rain.

The traditional heavy rain scene from Toei Animation.

Under the heavy rain, there will be a heartbroken knight...

Well, okay, things are a little different today.

Yaz stumbled along the road, his face and body covered in mud.

Passersby glanced in this direction and occasionally let out a few inquiring sounds.

"It looks like someone over there needs help?"

"Hey, forget about it. Didn't you notice? That's a Humagear. Be careful, she might go out of control later."

"Yes, yes, it's best to stay away from her. If she really gets out of control, people could really get hurt or die!"

Yaz staggered down the street, listening to the whispers around him.

Finally, she turned and walked into a small alley.

Walking into the alley, and taking a few more steps, Yaz realized that the alley in front of him was a dead end...

Trembling, Yaz turned to leave the alley, but he lost his footing and fell to the ground...

Yaz lay on his side on the ground, no longer able to stand up.

Az recalled his birth...

She was created by Ark...

A Humagear created using the president's secretary Humagear as a template...

but……

You are utterly incompetent...

Thinking about it carefully, the Humagears of ten years ago were indeed far too outdated...

The heavy rain lashed against Az's face, and water droplets slid down the corners of his eyes...

Several footsteps came from the alley entrance, and a few people discovered Yaz lying on the ground.

"Huh, is this Humagear broken?"

"Should we take her to a recycling center and sell her?"

"No, what if it gets out of control?"

"What's there to be afraid of? If we sell her, we'll have our pachinko all day."

"That makes sense, hahaha~"

The group then walked into the alleyway...

Yaz slowly closed his eyes.

She was a little tired...

Being sent to the scrap yard like this seems to fit the fate of someone as useless as me...

What are you doing?

A voice came from the alley entrance.

"Huh? Are you trying to meddle in other people's business?"

"Clap clap clap"

"Waaaaah! You little brat, you'll remember this!"

The hurried footsteps faded into the distance as the thugs fled.

Yaz closed his eyes, not wanting to pay attention to the person who had suddenly appeared.

Then, Yaz felt a shadow approaching him.
