Tokusatsu: How come this knight drama is different?!

[Aaaaaah! You upstairs bastard! Stop reading! Please, please stop reading!]

[You're crazy! This is the Knights Community. Can't you go somewhere else to act crazy?]

Wow, that guy's even more pretentious than Star of Stars! But he is kind of handsome, almost as good as me.

Who's peeing yellow? Quickly wake him up!

No! Don't let him get away with it!

[The first episode didn't seem to reveal much, but the suit was kind of cool, what do you think?]

[It's just the first episode, you'll get used to it.]

Hey bros, see you in a week! I'm off to the next team.

Don't go! Once you go, you won't be able to come back!

Chapter 78 Is this what you wanted?! President Hiden Aruto...

Viewers who watched the remake of 01: The Age of the Fox were thoroughly entertained by the content of the first episode.

Because they can watch not only 01, but also Gabe.

Gabe is the normal version, while 01 is the remake.

Who can understand the excitement of binge-watching two shows at once?

That felt amazing!

Is that star within a star a hint at the Extreme Fox?

[What hints? They were all explicit. Besides, the writers for both the remake of 01 and the Goku Fox are from Kamen Rider Studio. It's just so satisfying. How can I put it?]

[By the way, it's supposed to be a remake, but where can I watch the original?]

[Oh dear, it seems the hen has been taken off the shelf...]

[Really? Does anyone remember the original plot?]

【This... seems... I don't remember...】

Okay, it's the same familiar taste, the same familiar recipe.

A week later, viewers will completely forget about the remake and treat 01 and Gabe as a brand new series...

……

So, a week later, the second episode premiered:

In the opening scene of the second episode, Hiden Aruto is slumped over the desk in the president's office at the Hiden Group, looking utterly hopeless.

"Ugh... I'm so tired... I want to eat sushi... I want to eat noodles... I want to eat fried chicken... Waaah... Why do I have to do all this here...?"

Izzy, dressed as a secretary, walked over carrying a stack of folders.

"President Aruto, please finish these matters today."

Hiden Aruto pouted and burst into tears: "Waaah... I haven't even learned how to be a company president for a single day, why do I have to suffer like this here..."

Iz tilted her head, looking somewhat puzzled.

She couldn't quite understand; were these things really that difficult to handle?

She had already calculated all the data that needed to be processed beforehand, so the company president only needed to make approvals and selections.

Hiden Aruto pouted, looking pitiful.

Just then, footsteps were heard.

Vice President Jun Fukuzoe and his secretary Jesta (who is also a great beauty) walked up the stairs.

"Hahaha! President Aruto. I told you long ago, you can't hold this position! You'd better hand it over as soon as possible!"

Hiden Aruto looked at Fukuzoe Jun and thought for a moment before asking, "Jun-san, could you help me with the president's work? You're a long-time employee of the Hiden Group, right?"

Fukuda Jun proudly put his hands on his hips: "That's right, I've been with this company for decades..."

Halfway through his sentence, the vice president realized what he was doing and immediately roared at Hiden Aruto, "Are you kidding me?! You're the president now! You're the one who should handle these things! You want my help? Then why don't you just give up your position as president?!"

Hiden Aruto reluctantly pulled his belt out from behind his back: "I don't want to be the president either, but Zero One is tied to me, and access requires the group's president..."

Anyway, that's what he knew from Izzy...

Fukuzono Jun snorted coldly: "Since that's the case, what else is there to say? You just keep working obediently."

Hiden Aruto reached out and grabbed Fukuzoe Jun, pleading pitifully, "Jun-san, please help me..."

Or... should I appoint two presidents in our company?

Jun Fukuzoe was taken aback, then turned to look at Aruto Hiden: "Really?"

Hiden Aruto quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, you two presidents, here's what we'll do, you handle the work, I'll take the 01 belt and deal with those out-of-control Humagears."

Fukuzono Jun smiled and said, "Oh, that's wonderful."

Hiden Aruto nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right."

Fukuzoe Jun's expression changed, and he roared at Hiden Aruto, "Do you think I'm an idiot?! What's the difference between this and my current position as vice president?! Do I need to do things for you to get by?! Bah!"

As he spoke, Jun Fukuzoe shook the files on Aruto Hiden's desk: "You can stay here with these files until the end of your life!"

With that, Fukuda Jun snorted and turned his head away.

Jesta, the vice president's secretary, bowed slightly to Hiden Aruto and Izu before leaving.

Hiden Aruto, with a mournful face, suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Just then, a news report suddenly appeared on the screen in the president's office.

"Breaking News: Our reporter reports that Mr. Kotoku Yutetsu, considered by the public to be a superstar among stars, has just announced that he will terminate all endorsement contracts with the Hiden Group. At the same time, Mr. Yutetsu is demanding 30 million yen in compensation from the Hiden Group to be paid to Smile Amusement Park for its subsequent repair work."

It is reported that yesterday, the Smile Amusement Park suffered huge losses due to the loss of control of the Humagear robot owned by the Hiden Group. Now, please follow our reporter to the scene...

Hiden Aruto couldn't hear the rest of the report anymore. He stood up in shock, staring at the photo of a certain star among stars displayed on the side of the television screen...

The scene flashes back to yesterday, and Hiden Aruto's eyes widen suddenly, then his entire face scrunches up:

"It's...it's him?!"

And then... [Zero one...Zero one...Zero one...]...the opening theme was released...

After the opening sequence, the second episode begins:

Hiden Aruto scratched his messy hair and looked at the documents in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he asked Izu, "Izu, can you help me retrieve the information on that Star Within a Star?"

Izu nodded, and with a flick of her wrist, a holographic projection appeared in front of Hiden Aruto.

"Gao De You Che is 23 years old this year."

She debuted as a super child star at the age of 9 and has since appeared in the public eye with at least two hit dramas every year.

At 16, he was dubbed the "national male god" for playing the protagonist in his youth.

At the age of 18, the historical drama Oda Nobunaga, in which she starred, broke the viewership record.

At 21 and 22, his starring roles in the first two seasons of "Chasing the Wind" broke Oda Nobunaga's viewership records once again, making him a true star among stars.

Hiden Aruto placed his hands on the table, his eyes filled with confusion: "Why...why would someone like that... terminate their contract with our company..."

Iz blinked, somewhat confused.

Contract termination is just a normal business practice...

Why does President Aruto look so sad?

……

"Bang!" Fukuten slammed his hand on the table, pointing at Yu Che sitting opposite him, and said, "This is a breach of contract! This is a serious breach of contract! As the brand ambassador for the Feidian Group, you unilaterally terminated your contract without notifying us! Don't you have anything to say about this?!"

You Che gave a disdainful sneer.

A middle-aged, balding lawyer standing next to You Che adjusted his glasses and said softly, "Mr. Vice President, there's something I need to remind you of first."

When Feidian Group signed the contract with our client, Mr. You Che, it included a supplementary clause stating that if your company, due to its own reasons, might damage Mr. You Che's reputation, we have the right to unilaterally terminate the contract.

Jun Fukuzoe was taken aback and quickly looked at Jesta, who was standing to the side.

Hiden Aruto also looked at Izu.

Jesta and Izzy nodded simultaneously; this clause was indeed included in the additional terms.

Fukuzono Jun's momentum weakened somewhat: "This... the Humagear in the amusement park going out of control was just a coincidence! A coincidence! You can't conclude that this is our fault based on such a random incident! Besides, the underlying reasons for this incident haven't been investigated yet, have they?!"

Hiden Aruto turned to look at Fukuzoe Jun and noticed that beads of sweat were already forming on Fukuzoe Jun's forehead.

It's obvious he's under a lot of pressure.

Yu Che chuckled, leaned forward, ignored Fukuzoe Jun, and looked at Hiden Aruto: "This... Mr. Aruto, is the president of the Hiden Group, right?"

Hiden Aruto was taken aback, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

Fukuda Jun's face turned even uglier.

Yu Che chuckled and shook his head: "I didn't think about terminating my contract with you because of the Humagear incident."

Hiden Aruto and Fukuzoe Jun both exclaimed in confusion, "Huh?"

Yu Che leaned forward slightly and looked at Hiden Aruto: "President Aruto, I've seen your performance at the amusement park."

Hiden Aruto was taken aback, then his expression became excited: "Then... please, tell me, what do you think of... my performance?"

Hiden Aruto was extremely nervous, which was understandable, since Yutsu in this world had given himself the identity of a superstar, Hiden Aruto's senior, and a very famous one at that...

It would be strange if Hiden Aruto wasn't nervous.

Yu Che looked at Hiden Aruto and said mercilessly, "The entire performance consisted of nothing but lame jokes and cringe-worthy action sequences. The movements were exaggerated and there wasn't a single thing to praise."

With a "thud," Hiden Aruto slammed his head against the table, looking utterly defeated.

"but……"

Hiden Aruto took a slight breath.

You Che sighed: "Although you have absolutely no talent for telling jokes, at least you genuinely want to make the audience happy, even if your character is just a clown."

This is a double entendre, also referring to the original work 01.
