Tokusatsu: How come this knight drama is different?!

Yu Che closed his eyes, awaiting death...

This is truly... embarrassing...

In the end, can't I really do it...?

Just as the massive black energy sword above was about to fall completely, a soft call reached You Che's ear...

“Yu Tetsu-sama…”

You Che suddenly opened his eyes. In his field of vision, the black giant sword stopped just centimeters above his head...

Yu Che, however, paid no heed to any of that and turned to look in Pegasus's direction...

There, Az appeared behind Pegasus without anyone noticing...

Az seemed to sense something, turned to look at Yuche, and gave him a smile...

"There is still one last way... I'm entrusting everything to you..."

Then, Yaz's figure slowly disappeared, followed by Pegasus's roar filled with astonishment and uncertainty:

"What's going on?! My body! My body!"

Black energy began to erupt around the knight armor of God-Ark, and the black and red energy gradually converged and took shape...

One by one, the word "death" gradually emerged from the energy...

What followed was Ark's mechanical yet manic laughter...

"Hmph, hahaha! You Che! I said we would meet again! I said we would meet again!"

Pegasus staggered, the dense aura of death swirling around him. Then, his knight's tunic gradually changed color, the blue arc of light faded, and a pale white armor slowly covered his body...

Ark was reawakened within Pegasus's body...

And what followed was Pegasus's incredibly high-pitched roar:

"You bastard! What have you done?!"

—End of this episode.

Chapter 257 and... Warm-up

After this week's 40th episode, we'll skip the discussions in the Kamen Rider fan community for now...

I know some people might ask why I skipped this. Shouldn't I just go and see what the Knights fan community is discussing?

But what I have to say is that the current content is stuck at the point where Ark has taken over the story, and we still have a week to go before we can see the rest of the plot. So what else can the Kamen Rider fan community do besides urging for more updates (referring to all sorts of creative and angry comments)?

It's like eating in the toilet, and you only eat half of it...

……

Okay, let's turn our attention to a certain evil toy-selling conglomerate, B. What are they up to now?

Yes, they are discussing the company's upcoming publicity campaign.

Okay, that's a bit too highbrow. As we all know, Bandai Namco is a shoddy operation. How shoddy? Just look at how they've reissued the Fox Spirit belt again and again after the Fox Spirit hype exploded last time. That shows how insatiable they are.

Well, to put it simply, the problem they faced was that the original Fox Spirits sold so well that they reprinted it again and again. Then, after the end of Gochad and the release of the Gabe and 01 remakes, a lot of Kamen Rider fans' wallets were taken away, resulting in their warehouses being piled with Fox Spirits belts.

What should we do if they pile up? We can't just not sell them.

Then they came up with an idea.

Sigh, why don't I just bring JFox back into the mix?

It just so happens that they still have their own theatrical version of Extreme Fox to film!

And so, this makeshift team made its decision...

……

A week later, episode 41 of season 01 premiered, bringing the series one episode closer to its conclusion...

……

The story begins without immediately picking up where the previous episode left off.

Instead, the scene shifts to the final Kamen Rider belt production at the Hiden Technology Research Institute...

Izu looked at Yutsu with a serious expression and asked, "Are you really going to do this? But Mr. Yutsu, you should know that if Ark is revived through Pegasus's body and possesses Pegasus's immense power, it could potentially cause even greater destruction..."

You Che shook his head: "That may be the case in the short term."

After all, in your opinion, Pegasus didn't actually have much of an impact, right?

But what about in the long run? Don't forget that although Ark caused a series of tragic events such as the Dawn Incident, ultimately, Pegasus was the culprit behind all of this.

The damage he could actually cause was the greatest; it's just that someone else was the one carrying it out.

not to mention……

Compared to the danger posed by Ark, Ark is easier to deal with. After all, its actions are straightforward, unlike Pegasus, who hides behind the scenes, always deceives others, and always leaves a glimmer of hope for others, never actually intending to fulfill it.

Iz fell silent.

Yu Che sighed helplessly: "Isn't that how Aruto is? Even though he knows Pegasus is dangerous, because Pegasus always leaves him with a glimmer of hope, Aruto can never make up his mind completely."

But it's different with Ark.

Someone will not hold back against Ark, and I believe it too...

Even if Ark gained Pegasus's current power, Aruto would still win in the end.

After saying that, You Che shook his head helplessly: "As long as he has no hesitation or confusion in his heart, he is the strongest."

Iz sighed: "Okay, I understand, but where does Ark's data come from?"

Az stepped forward expressionlessly: "I was created by Ark's power, and Ark gave me its data long ago so that I could revive it."

Relevant data can be extracted from me.

Iz nodded: "I just hope... things don't come to that..."

Yu Che sighed, "Yes, I just hope things don't come to this point..."

Afterwards, Yu Che was called away by Hiden Aruto to eat ramen at a roadside stall.

After Yutsu and Hiden Aruto left, Azu looked at Izu and said, "Just to be on the safe side, I need to arrange a final plan."

Iz asked, somewhat puzzled: "The last resort?"

Az pursed his lips: "If... if Yuche-sama fails... then use my body as the pathogen of the Arkvirus, and infect Pegasus, so that Ark can be revived from his body."

Iz was somewhat surprised: "What did you say?! You want to use yourself as a pathogen?! Do you know what that means for a Humagear?!"

Az looked at Iz expressionlessly: "It means that if I fail... then I will disappear completely, and all my data will be devoured by that guy Ark."

Iz's initially surprised expression faltered slightly. He then looked at Yaz, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, Iz didn't continue to persuade him and simply nodded.

"I see."

Yaz nodded expressionlessly, then turned around, tossed her long hair, and went to the incubation chamber to modify her body for a while.

"Wait a moment……"

Iz suddenly called out to Yaz.

Yaz turned to look at the other person.

"Did you go to this extent... for Mr. Yuche?" Izu knew she shouldn't ask that, but... she couldn't help herself.

Azu looked at Izu, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Heh, of course. Well, you wouldn't understand if I told you, you idiot. After all, you certainly can't sacrifice everything for your master like I do."

Iz's breathing quickened slightly, but she didn't refute Yaz's sarcasm. Instead, she asked, "Why?"

Yaz raised his eyes to look at Iz, originally intending to continue mocking Iz a few more times.

However, after seeing Izu's serious and earnest gaze, Azu gave up the idea of ​​continuing to mock him.

"The reason..." Yaz murmured softly, as if recalling something.

Then she laughed: "It's simple, because I can't imagine what the world would be like without Yutsu-sama~"

After saying that, Az climbed into the incubation chamber without hesitation...

……

Let's go back to the present...

Yaz's figure did not appear suddenly.

Yu Che could see it clearly: Az emerged from the tattered Zero One belt that had fallen to the ground and was lying on the roadside grass like trash...

Why is Yaz able to stay inside the belt?

If it were a normal Yuche, he could immediately deduce that Az formatted his data and then stuffed it into Zero One's belt along with the data of the Ark, waiting for an opportunity.

However, at this moment, You Che felt that his mind was a complete mess, his fingers unconsciously gripped the grass, and blood vessels gradually appeared in his pupils...

On Pegasus's side, Ark's maniacal laughter continued, expressing his joy at his resurrection...

Yu Che could only see the figure with its back to him, gradually disappearing...

This is the world of data...

You Che shouldn't have been able to see it...

He probably can't see it...

only……

The long-haired figure finally couldn't resist and turned to look at You Che...

How weak! But...

I really want to see it one more time...

Even a single glance would be enough...

"Yaz!"

—And then the OP went live…
