True Strength

**True Strength** is the ninth episode of *Kamen Rider Warriors*. It features the debut of Gallant Mango Armor.

## Plot

With Team Gallant in fourth place while Team Samurai is in first, Jared believes he must seek out new strength. While Travis seeks out a new job and Andre wonders why the Watermelon Fruitlock is no longer responsive, Myra finds an entrance to Vine Forest.

After failing to reach Travis, she decides to venture through the portal when she hears screaming. She is soon attacked by Vine Beasts, but Myra is saved by Masked Rider Gallant. Jared reveals that he is in the forest looking for new Fruitlocks, and Myra decides to tell him about the portal she found, but they soon find it is gone. Jared winces in pain, revealing his wound that Myra tries to dress up. Jared reveals that his need for strength is the result of his family losing everything since Healthy Rain redeveloped Hollowood. Myra begins to feel guilty since her parents helped in developing Healthy Rain. She doesn’t mention it to Jared, but then explains that her definition of strength is that of giving happiness. Though Jared denounces her ideals of strength, he allows her to follow him to find a new way out.

Meanwhile, upon learning of Myra's venture into the forest, Travis goes after her on the Lock Vehicle while Andre learns that Darren is at Team Samurai's garage. He ushers the others out of the garage when Darren reveals he is looking for information on the Watermelon Fruitlock. Andre admits that he stole it from his brother, but he reminds Darren that he is also a Clarke and makes a request of the Lock Dealer. In the Vine Forest, Samurai wakes up after he was knocked out after falling off a cliff upon his entrance into the forest. He wanders around, looking for Myra, until he is ambushed by several Vine Beasts. He is at a disadvantage until Blast arrives on his own personal Lock Vehicle. Once the Vine Beasts are defeated, Samurai reveals to Blast that the Vine Forest is where the Fruitlocks come from, prompting Blast to pick one off of a tree, transforming it into the Kiwi Fruitlock.

Elsewhere, Jared and Myra find a portal back to Hollowood, but they discover the Azure Dragon Vine Beast nearby. Gallant transforms to fight but finds that the Banana spear cannot harm the Vine Beast. Samurai and Blast arrive to back him up, with Blast getting Myra through the portal to safety. Samurai and Gallant battle the Azure Dragon Vine Beast and all three enter Hollowood. When Samurai realizes Orange Armor is ineffective against the Vine Beast, he switches to Pine Armor and successfully uses the Pine Iron to deal some damage to the Azure Dragon Vine Beast. This gives Gallant the idea to use the Mango Fruitlock he acquired previously, transforming him into Mango Armor, now armed with the Mango Hammer, which also seems effective. Together, the two Masked Riders defeat the Azure Dragon Vine Beast, with Jared now pleased with his strength.

When he leaves, Andre realizes that if portals to the Vine Forest are appearing on their own, as Myra had found earlier, then that means that Vine Beasts are now passing through into their world, while elsewhere in Hollowood, a Vine Beast has already begun attacking people.
