'Kamen Rider Build' Episode 18 Spoilers: The Golden Warrior of Hokuto Appears
Kazumi Sawatari (Kouhei Takeda ) has arrived and is about to debut his first on-screen transformation as Hokuto's warrior, Kamen Rider Grease. What will this mean for Touto's titular Rider and his companion, Cross-Z, on the next episode of the Japanese live-action special effects series, "Kamen Rider Build'?
The Rider Wars have begun, and it seemed that Hokuto has gradually been gaining the upper hand. And despite his initial reluctance to use the Rider System for war, Sento Kiryu ( Atsuhiro Inukai), a.k.a. Kamen Rider Build, has been forced to fight for the sake of protecting Touto from their enemies.
Then, right before the previous episode ended, a guy, who looked all set for battle, arrived bearing a Sclash Driver of his own.

The official synopsis for the upcoming 18th episode, titled "The Gold Soldier," reveals that their new enemy's Sclash Driver is among the many devices that Sento himself has developed from the Pandora Box. How did the enemy get his hands on it? The confusion will bear on both Sento and Ryuga Banjou (Eiji Akaso), a.k.a. Kamen Rider Cross-Z.
However, before they can even attempt to ponder on the possible answers, Kazumi transforms himself into the golden soldier and known assassin of the northern capital of Hokuto, Kamen Rider Grease.
The upcoming episode will also be debuting Build's SmaphoWolf Form, as well as the in-series debut of his PhoenixRobo Form, following its initial appearance on the 2017 live-action special effects film, Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FINAL: Build & Ex-Aid with Legend.
