You are the hero. Literally. 15 minutes of pure Kamen Rider wish fulfillment.
Wataru Kurenai, Keisuke Nago, and Otoya Kurenai introduce themselves to a boy (the viewer) who has wandered into the Café mald'amour and offer to teach him how he can be like each of them. This DVD is referred to as an Adventure Battle DVD and it takes on the form of a Choose Your Own Adventure story.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Hyper Battle Videos were Toei's direct-to-DVD experiments in viewer interactivity, predating Netflix's choose-your-own-adventure format by over a decade.
This format specifically targets the 'henshin hero' playground phenomenon where Japanese children physically imitate transformation sequences—here, the show finally acknowledges and validates that ritual.
