I'm just an ordinary person passing by.

If I hold the sword, I can't embrace you as we leave the room.

Hugging you means I can't protect you from leaving the room.

White Curtain: "???"

I've figured it out! You guys are deliberately trying to mess with my mentality, aren't you?

"Commander! Let's go!"

[Host, where are we going?]

"Hmm? Of course, it's to punish evil and promote good."

[...Host, no villains from other worlds have recently crossed over. What evil do you intend to punish, and what good do you intend to promote?]

"Didn't you see? That guy was just provoking me, trying to get me mentally unstable. I'm going to go through the internet and kill them!"

"You just wait, I'm about to transform into Susanoo!"

You think you can talk like this online without getting attacked through the internet? You didn't expect that, did you? I'm a Digimon!

"Arm up! Evolve!"

【...】

[Host, there's another mission coming up.]

[A spacetime rift has been detected. A Grongi has entered this world through the rift. They are powerful and have extremely high potential for growth. Please proceed there as soon as possible.]

[This mission template: Kamen Rider Kuuga (Ultimate Form)!]

Huh? Kuuga?

Just as Shiro was about to transform into Susanoo to settle scores with those guys, he paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

Kuuga? Kamen Rider Kuuga?

It's Kamen Rider Kuuga?

Bai Mu looked at the template and immediately forgot his previous emotions.

Yay! I got the Kamen Rider Kuuga belt!

For my sake, I won't hold it against you. After all, I'm the hero who protects the smiles of others!

However, the ultimate form... So the Gurongi that ran in was Daguba?

Good grief, they just released Kuuga's ultimate boss?

Kamen Rider Kuuga, the first Kamen Rider series of the Heisei era, aired in 2000. It is the elder brother of all Kamen Rider series after the Heisei era. At the same time, like Ultraman Tiga, one of the three Heisei Ultramen, this series is the only Kamen Rider series to receive the Nebula Award.

The title "Nebula Award" pretty much says it all; it's a show that's worth watching.

Even now, this show is still considered excellent, and like Ultraman Tiga, it's a show worth watching multiple times.

The story of this series mainly revolves around Kamen Rider Kuuga and his battle against an unidentified life form called the Gurongi.

Among them, Daguba is the most powerful and terrifying of the Gurongi life forms. After the meaningless slaughter game began, it directly killed 30,000 humans. It is a monster that exists simply to enjoy fighting and killing.

What? You're saying the most powerful Grongi among the Grongi life forms is Gamio?

If Kuuga had a movie, Nagamio would definitely be the strongest among the Grongi, but unfortunately, Kuuga doesn't have a movie!

The original strongest life form of the Gurongi, Gamio, could not appear in the theatrical version and could only appear in the TV series of the same name. The key point is that the Gamio in the TV series is different from the one in the theatrical version. Not only has his appearance been changed, but he also does not have the same sense of oppression as Daguba. He is truly the most ridiculous king.

Because of this, Daguba became the most expressive Gurongi life form.

—Oh no, Auntie Dong, you owe us a Kuuga movie!

Chapter 75 Joe Odagiri: It's true that Kamen Rider is here to fight!

Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture, is one of the few inland prefectures in Japan. Nagano Prefecture boasts an extremely diverse landscape, with plains, mountains, mountain ranges, rivers, and lakes all present.

At the same time, due to its diverse landscape and climate, Nagano Prefecture has become one of the few tourist prefectures in Japan, attracting countless tourists every year.

As the central city of Nagano Prefecture, Nagano City is naturally very developed, with its information industry and agriculture being major highlights.

With the New Year approaching and people already on holiday, many have become tourists, coming here to enjoy the rare sweet atmosphere.

After finishing his work, Joe Odagiri brought his wife and three children here for a trip.

As the actor who plays Yusuke Godai, Joe Odagiri has a special feeling for Nagano Prefecture.

After all, it was here that he fought Daguba and they died together... Oh no, it should be that in the original story they died together, but later they felt it wasn't good for the older brother to die at the beginning, so they changed it to disappearing, and then changed it to Yusuke going to find a new future.

"I really miss those days..."

Walking on the snow-covered streets in a cotton-padded coat, this man, who had a unique charm even in the Heisei era of great upheaval, revealed a hint of nostalgia.

Although Kamen Rider Kuuga was his first TV drama, it was definitely the first step he took towards the peak of his acting career.

Joe Odagiri became an overnight sensation with his portrayal of Kuuga, the man who fought to protect everyone's smiles. He became one of the few men who could be compared to Hiroshi Nagano at the time, and many resources came his way. He could even continue playing Kuuga as the elder brother of the Heisei era if he wanted.

It's a pity that, in order to avoid solidifying people's impression of him, he refused to continue playing Kuuga, so the Kuuga characters that followed were not him, which is truly regrettable.

Regardless, as the original Kuuga, this man's portrayal of Yusuke Godai became a childhood memory for a generation, and his thumbs-up gesture became a belief for many.

—In China, the name Ultraman Kuuga is even more deeply ingrained in people's minds than the name Ultraman Kuuga.

He walked with his wife and children, looking around. Although there were many people around, the snow meant they didn't have to worry about being surrounded by fans.

However, as he walked, a person suddenly appeared in front of Joe Odagiri.

A person dressed in white clothes and a white coat, with a genuine smile on their face.

Joe Odagiri was a little surprised when he first saw him. Although Nagano City is not the coldest place in Japan, it is still a place where it snows. Yet someone was not wearing a down jacket and came out wearing only a white undershirt and a thin coat.

Isn't he cold?

But upon closer inspection, Joe Odagiri was slightly surprised.

Because he recognized the person in front of him.

Kenji Urai.

Kenji Urai, one of Joe Odagiri's friends... Well, since they're both in the same industry, it's normal for them to know each other. Although Kenji Urai isn't as famous as Joe Odagiri, you'll definitely remember him if you hear just one sentence from him.

His first stage performance was with Sailor Moon...

"Urai... are you here on vacation too? Why are you dressed so lightly? Aren't you cold?"

Upon seeing someone he knew, and even a friend he had acted opposite before, Joe Odagiri didn't pretend not to see him. He walked up with his wife and children and greeted the person.

Only when Odagiri Joe walked closer did he realize how young Urai Kenji was...

While Kenji Urai may not look old, it's already 2021, almost 2022. No matter how young he looks, twenty years have passed, and there must have been some changes.

However, the Urai Kenji in front of me had not changed at all; in fact, he looked like a teenager.

Exactly the same as it was twenty years ago...

Wait, twenty years ago?

At the summit of the snow-capped mountain, amidst swirling snowflakes, the image of the devil with the 'innocent' smile instantly flashed into Joe Odagiri's mind.

The man in front of me, Kenji Urai, looks exactly the same as he did twenty years ago when he played the strongest Gulangji Daguba.

Whether it's clothing or facial expressions.

Apart from the surrounding scenery, nothing else changed.

No, how could I remember things from twenty years ago so clearly?

"You've arrived..."

Odagiri Joe was still surprised at how clearly he remembered things from the past when 'Urai Kenji' in front of him smiled and spoke.

However... something is slightly different. The 'Kenji Urai' in front of me suddenly gives off a sense of incongruity at this moment.

"If that's the only way, you won't be able to fight me, Kuuga."

"So you've given up, and that's why you came here specifically to be killed by me?"

"You are... Daguba!?"

This conversation immediately made Joe Odagiri's eyes widen.

The person in front of me is not Kenji Urai! He is not Kenji Urai!

He is... no, he is... Daguba!!!

For no apparent reason, Joe Odagiri almost instinctively came to the conclusion that this was the case.

Although Kamen Riders and Gurongi are impossible in real life, Joe Odagiri accepted this fact.

It's like knowing that the sun rises in the east, but not feeling surprised when you see it rise in the west; you even feel a sense of entitlement.

But now is not the time to talk about these things.

The Gurongi have appeared! The most terrifying Gurongi are now standing right before him!

"Yu, Li Ge Lu, hurry up and leave Ge Lu Da yo!!!"

Without hesitation, he turned and pushed his wife as they ran. His wife, not understanding what was happening, stood there dumbfounded. Then, she saw the smiling 'boy' reach out his hand to her husband...

"—!!???"

The couple was instantly locked onto by a terrifying aura—a laughter that was also filled with the scent of death—leaving their minds blank.

Are they going to die?

Are they going to die here?

But just as they were sinking into despair, a figure suddenly swept past them, and Daguba, who had reached out to kill them, was kicked away.

Then, a black knight appeared before them.

He had a strong body, covered in black leather armor with golden accents, beetle-like horns on his head, and blood-red eyes.

Odagiri Joe stood there dumbfounded, staring at the knight who had suddenly appeared.

"Card, card face, come and hit... Kuuga!?"
