"Yes, there's no doubt about it. You're a Kamen Rider too."
Facing the grotesque beast, a warrior in magenta armor pointed at it and spoke, each word deliberate.
"I have no particular desire to protect humanity... but I absolutely won't let anyone who wants to destroy the Tokyo Area get away with it."
A mature man who looked like he was middle-aged wore a black coat. A strangely shaped belt was fastened around his waist, and he toyed with a card bearing the image of a green-armored figure. He watched the tall, slender man standing before him, who wore a strange masquerade mask and looked like a clown.
"Oh my... I can understand Satomi doing this, but I really didn't expect you to come out and stop me, Muroto. Why is that? If I'm not mistaken, you'd be delighted to see the Tokyo Area turned into a battlefield. I can tell. Unlike Satomi, you and I are the same kind of person."
As if genuinely troubled, the tall, slender man kept a wary eye on the older man as he voiced his question.
"Who knows? Maybe it's because I'm a Kamen Rider too. Besides, the two princesses at home really don't like you."
"That's reason enough."
Kamen Riders are the hope that fights endless malice and hostility, heroes who uphold their convictions to protect and fight.
They hide their identities behind masks, express their will through their actions, and let their hearts guide them, influencing both the past and the future.
The title Kamen Rider is a symbol of the soul, the embodiment of the Rider spirit!
It is passed down from one generation to the next. Whenever despair descends upon the world, it becomes hope and opens a path through the darkness.
Opening words of the novel Kamen Rider Series, by Muroto Kiba
"...Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha. Having made this decision, it seems I can't call myself a Kamen Rider like my predecessors."
