Chapter 122: 122. Don’t Ever Ask Who Kazushi Kadoya Is! Dai Shocker Wants to Conquer the World!
The audience across the three realms couldn't help but be amused at the events unfolding.
"Haha! This guy kept insisting that Decade couldn't return to the real world!"
"But look, Kazushi Kadoya came back almost immediately. Talk about instant karma!"
"Yeah, it's hilarious! Total facepalm moment for him."
"This guy even wanted to reward Kadoya to demonstrate Dai Shocker's strength! What a joke!"
"Does he even understand what 'reward' means?"
The extraordinary chat group buzzed with laughter.
Jizi: "Haha, that was priceless!"
Fu Nina: "The way he got slapped in the face by reality was just too funny!"
Walnut: "I wonder if his face hurts now?"
Yae Shinko: "Doubt it. His skin's thick enough to take it."
Meanwhile, behind Apollo, a group of bizarre monsters emerged. Apollo stood confidently, declaring:
"I will harness the unparalleled power of Dai Shocker to eliminate every Kamen Rider. None of you stand a chance."
Kazushi Kadoya stepped forward, speaking calmly:
"Sometimes, even when there's no chance of victory, you must still fight."
Turning to Ninata, he added, "This man has fought all this time to reclaim what truly matters."
Apollo sneered in response, "Such resistance is futile!"
Kadoya remained unfazed. "One person alone might not succeed," he said seriously, "but with companions, people who support each other, anything is possible."
Apollo's expression darkened. "Who do you think you are?"
Kadoya tilted his head slightly, holding up his Rider card. "I'm just a Kamen Rider passing through. Remember that."
Apollo's face twisted in confusion and frustration. Meanwhile, the audience burst into laughter.
"Haha! Kadoya says this every time someone asks who he is!"
"Yeah, it's become his signature line!"
"He's so good at playing cool, and I love it!"
Back in the extraordinary chat group:
Fu Nina: "Kadoya's catchphrase always cracks me up."
Walnut: "I've noticed that anyone who asks him that question doesn't last long!"
March 7: "Haha, really? That's tragic!"
Fu Xuan: "Villains should learn: never ask that question if they want to live."
On the battlefield, Kadoya shouted, "Transform!"
"Masked Driving! Decade!"
At the same time, Kotaro Anri Nan entered the scene and transformed as well:
"I am the son of the sun, Kamen Rider Anri reborn!"
The two joined forces against Apollo, but new monsters soon appeared, attacking relentlessly. Kadoya activated the K-Touch device:
"Kuga, Agito, Ryuki, 555 Sword, Hibiki! Kabuto, Den-O, Tsukasa! Ultimate Masked Rider! Decade!"
His sword unleashed a powerful strike, sending monsters flying. Flames erupted as they fell, reduced to ashes. Alongside him, Agito appeared and attacked in tandem, their combined sword beams decimating the enemy ranks.
The audience was thrilled.
"Wow! Other knights are showing up too!"
"This is so exciting!"
Meanwhile, Haido repelled several monsters, his ultimate attack control blasting through them in a surge of green light. Apollo, furious at the loss of his forces, shouted, "Damn knights!"
Kadoya didn't back down, snatching Apollo's double-sided energy mirror and leaving him enraged.
However, the tension shifted when Yusuke arrived with urgent news:
"Shi, Xia Hai's condition is critical!"
Kadoya's expression changed dramatically, and he hurried to the hospital. Yusuke asked hesitantly, "Do you know how to use this mirror?"
Kadoya nodded. "If it can take life, it should also be able to give life."
Red light surged from Kadoya into the mirror as he used it to save Xia Hai. Yusuke panicked. "If you do this, you might die!"
Kadoya weakly replied, "Don't tell Xia Hai."
When Xia Hai finally opened her eyes, the audience breathed a collective sigh of relief.
"Wow, she's awake! That's such a relief!"
"I was so worried!"
In the chat group:
Kiana: "I'm so happy she's okay!"
Himeko: "I hope she and Kadoya end up together."
March 7: "Same here!"
As Kadoya and Xia Hai exchanged an affectionate look, the audience swooned.
"That gaze says everything. It's so sweet!"
"If they don't end up together, I'll be devastated!"
Keqing: "Kadoya's eyes are full of love. It's heartwarming."
Ningguang: "They have to be together. No question about it."
Meanwhile, Nan Kotaro and his allies successfully drove Apollo away, though the audience was disappointed he escaped. On a nearby overpass, Minglong blamed Kadoya for Dai Shocker's actions, a claim the audience found absurd.
"Blaming Kadoya for Dai Shocker? That's ridiculous!"
"Yeah, it's not his fault they're acting out."
The story continued as Kadoya and his companions arrived in a new world. Yusuke noticed Kadoya's outfit had changed to that of a baseball player.
"What kind of world is this?" he wondered aloud.
Kadoya replied ominously, "The most dangerous worlds often appear ordinary at first glance."
Soon, they encountered locals who greeted each other with mechanical waves and monotone "Eh!" greetings. Kadoya ignored a woman who tried to greet him, prompting her to accuse them of being rebels. She blew a whistle, summoning a crowd and monsters to attack them. Realizing they were in a world ruled by Dai Shocker, Kadoya and his team prepared to fight.
Amazon, a new Rider, appeared and joined the battle. The audience was both amused and intrigued by his unique monster-like appearance and feral fighting style.
"Haha! Both sides look like weirdos!"
Yusuke commented, "The knights in this world really do look odd."
Kadoya transformed again, unleashing a devastating attack that impressed Amazon. However, the locals sided with the monsters, booing the Riders.
"What kind of world is this?" the audience exclaimed.
In the chat group:
Raiden Mei: "This world feels so wrong."
Klee: "Why are they supporting monsters instead of knights?"
Ganyu: "It's baffling."
Haido later explained that this world was under the control of the Ten-Faced Ghost and Dai Shocker, who spread propaganda portraying knights as threats. Most of the population had joined Dai Shocker out of fear, leaving the few who resisted to be hunted.
Amazon added grimly, "They've turned people against us with lies, making themselves look like saviors."
Despite the odds, Kadoya resolved to fight for this world, proving once again why he was a hero. The audience watched in awe, ready for the next chapter of his journey.
