However, Professor Daidoji manages to escape.While driving in his car, the professor is once again pursued by Shocker monsters. Using a visual trick, a monster learns that a formula needed to activate the device is with Daidoji's daughter. After that, Kamen Rider 2 arrives at the scene and protects the professor from the terrible monsters.
