## Story

Because of the large company, Healthy Rain Corporation setting up shop in the once bustling city of Maywood; the community started to become more like a *castle town*. To escape the feeling of being under castle authority, dance crews were formed by young people to bring joy back to the public. Along with this
 is a popular game that uses the mysterious Fruitlocks that contain mysterious monsters called Vine Beasts that are said to come from another dimension.

As the game becomes more popular, tears in reality begin to open that bring the Vine Beasts from their home dimension to Earth. Travis Collier, a young man who recently quit his dance crew Team Warrior (claiming to have grown out of dancing), finds a special Fruitlock and the Sensō Driver to
 become a Masked Rider, named Masked Rider Samurai. He must fight the
sudden appearance of the Vine Beasts, but also against other the masked-Kamen
 Riders known as Masked Riders.
