Kouga has strong misgivings.

[gold_wolf]

No.

Choose a different place. If they're taking away everything, I don't want any part of it. Losing Gouten is one thing, but my armor and Zaruba-

Just forget it. I refuse.

As long as we have the Double Driver and two sets of GaiaMemory, I don't see why not.

[gold_wolf]

Strange... Can anyone become a protector where you are from?

[halfofhalf]

They have to have the strength and resolve to ride with the devil.

[gold_wolf]

[Okay, that gets a smile of sorts.]

That sounds impressive.

[halfofhalf]

Glad you think so.

[He thought of it himself.]

[gold_wolf]

It's the same for being a Makai Knight. You have to have enough strength and soul to defeat Horrors.

[halfofhalf]

Dopants are pretty difficult, too. There was times where I thought Shoutarou wouldn't be able to handle it.

[gold_wolf]

What are Dopants?

[halfofhalf]

Humans who have been transformed due to being influenced by GaiaMemories.

They often gain super-human abilities.

[And some really clichéd lines and mannerisms.]

[gold_wolf]

Are they monsters?

[Sorry, he's only used to humans transforming into Horrors when possessed, so that's what he pictures.]

[halfofhalf]

More super-evolved humans, but they can be seen as monsters.

[gold_wolf]

[He has to think about it, since human and anything more powerful feel inherently different to him, but eventually he decides that super-evolved doesn't mean possessed.]

I guess it's not the same. Just stronger.

[halfofhalf]

It's the strength of their feelings that makes them do it. They're not possessed by the GaiaMemory.

[gold_wolf]

In that case, it sounds like becoming a knight.

[halfofhalf]

Some people call Kamen Rider the knight of Fuuto.

I don't think Shoutarou likes the name too much.

[gold_wolf]

What's wrong with being a knight?

It's an important job.
