Three years ago, Gentoku, who is then the head of the Touto Institute of Advanced Matter Physics, attempts to convince an old friend, who is also serving as the Touto Prime Minister's aide, of the benefits of strengthening their capital's military forces in preparation for any possible threats from the neighboring states of Hokuto and Seito.
However, when his friend refuses to consider this idea, Gentoku's path crosses with that of the so-called evil scientist, Takumi Katsuragi. This will then lead him to form the organization known as Faust. Takumi will also be responsible for providing him with the resources to become Night Rogue.
But who exactly is Night Rogue, and what is he really fighting for? Is he really as villainous as he seemed when the television series started, or is he really just a misunderstood strategist who only wants to ensure Touto's safety?
The "Kamen Rider Build" Blu-ray collection first volume will sell for ¥19,800 plus tax. The second volume, which will include episodes 13 to 24, has been scheduled for release on Wednesday, June 13.
The television series is currently airing on TV Asahi's Superhero Time block on Sunday at 9 a.m. JST.
