Everyone thinks Daisuke has died and that a Worm is impersonating him, but in reality it was a deception to force the Riders on one another. The real Daisuke was soon attacked by the other four riders as he tries to prove that he is human. Eventually the Worm's identity is discovered, and Daisuke retrieves his Drake Grip. Hyper Kabuto makes its first appearance after defeating several Pupa Worms.
