Episode Title:
Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider!
Episode Description:
As a child, Tanzaburo Tojima was inspired by the Kamen Rider show and dreamed of becoming an actual Kamen Rider. However, during his high school years, he beats up an entire high school gang to defend a classmate Emily, only to cause Emily to fear him. Despondent that an enemy like Shocker doesn't exist, Tojima continues to train in seclusion until he turns 40. After selling off his collection of Kamen Rider merchandise, Tojima learns of an increasing trend of criminals emulating Shocker combatants as they commit crimes, but writes them off as nothing more than petty thieves rather than the actual Shocker. As Tojima attends a festival, it's revealed that the Shocker crimes are being instigated by a gangster named Hachiro Nakao, who is a fan of Shocker and forces his underlings to emulate Shocker so he can pretend to be a villain from the show. Nakao orders his men to assault one of the festival stall owners as part of a shakedown. Seeing that nobody is willing to help the stall owner, Tojima dons a Kamen Rider mask and beats down the Shocker criminals. Realizing what he has done, Tojima flees the scene. The next day, a woman is angered at the news a Kamen Rider has foiled a Shocker crime, and she intended to be the first Kamen Rider to do so.
