==Plot==
[[Parad]] has absorbed into [[Emu Hojo|Emu]] and challenged the other Riders, transforming into Para-DX Fighter Gamer [[Level 50]]; [[Hiiro Kagami|Hiiro]] and [[Taiga Hanaya|Taiga]] quickly transform into Brave and Snipe Quest and Shooting Gamers [[Level 2]] but are quickly knocked down, "Emu" quitting as a doctor and leaving. "Emu" walks into the [[Bugsters]]' hideout, Parad jumping back out and deciding he has to Level Up to get Emu to fight him properly. He tries using the [[Gashat Gear Dual]] in a [[Gamer Driver]], but nothing happens, as only humans can use that kind of Driver. Emu demands an explanation, and Parad says that this was all Emu's wish.

At [[CR]], [[Asuna Karino|Poppy]] and [[Nico Saiba|Nico]] are freaking out. Hiiro explains Parad's obsession with fighting Emu and how Emu's Bugster couldn't be drawn out [[A New Challenger Appears!|bef]][[Take Off Against the Direction of the Wind!|ore]], and how there's only one logical conclusion. Parad drags Emu to a park to explain: as a kid, Emu would think up games because he wanted someone to play with, and Parad was formed from those desires as the Bugster that grew from his infection. He absorbs into Emu again and transforms to Ex-Aid Double Action Gamer [[Level XX]], Parad taking over Orange with Emu as Blue. Back at CR, the doctors have reached the same conclusion, Nico realizing it was actually Parad she'd lost to in the game tournament, who had at the time been controlling Emu's body as "Genius Gamer M". After [[Michihiko Zaizen]] had removed Parad six years ago, Emu had returned to his normal self and resolved to become a doctor. To cure Emu's game illness, they need to defeat Parad.

Orange fights Blue, but Blue doesn't fight back, Orange tossing over the [[Gashacon Key Slasher]] and [[Maximum Mighty X]] [[Gashat]] to help even the odds, but Blue still doesn't fight. Then Orange says he started [[Kamen Rider Chronicle]] just so they could fight, and erasing humans was also part of Emu's wish. Meanwhile, Nico switches her quest for vengeance from Emu to Parad. Poppy wants to save Emu because he saved her, Hiiro sarcastically thanking [[Kuroto Dan|Kuroto]] for their situation; the name, however, triggers a memory in Poppy about her host knowing a young Kuroto mentioning infection countermeasures. Hiiro and Taiga are called in to Ex-Aid Level XX's fight with "himself", realizing Parad is controlling Orange. Parad explains that their memories and DNA are the same, and it was him reentering Emu that saved his life when Kuroto revealed that Emu had the game illness; he has controlled Emu's fate, and Emu can't change it, challenging him to prove otherwise. Blue finally fights back, knocking Orange down and hitting him with Maximum Mighty [[Critical Finish]], using Reprogramming to fuse human genes into him and knock him out of his transformation, Emu's canceling as a result. Far from losing, Parad reveals that he can now use Genm's old Gamer Driver to Level Up, using the Gashat Gear Dual and fusing its games to become Para-DX Perfect Knock Out Gamer [[Level 99]].

Hiiro and Taiga become Brave Level 2 and Snipe Simulation Gamer Level 50, but Level 99 is too strong to hurt. Para-DX summons the [[Gashacon Parabragun]], using Gun Mode to fire a 3-shot chain attack at Snipe, nabbing an Iron-Body [[Energy Item]] for his weapon and Separation for himself to trigger multiple [[Perfect Puzzle|Perfect]] Critical Finishes, the attack blocking Snipe's [[Bang Bang Simulations|Bang Bang]] [[Critical Fire]] before hitting him with iron-covered shots and defeating him, knocking the [[Gashat Gear Dual β]] loose. Emu wants to fight but his infection is flaring, preventing him from acting. Brave grabs the Gear Dual β and takes Brave Fantasy Gamer Level 50; Para-DX switches the Parabragun to Axe Mode for close combat. He uses a 7-times power slash attack before using Muscular and Speeding-Up Energy Items for [[Knock Out Fighter|Knock Out]] Critical Finish; Brave counters with [[Taddle Fantasy|Taddle]] [[Critical Slash]] but is defeated. Fighting against his infection, Emu becomes Ex-Aid Maximum Gamer Level 99, using Mighty [[Critical Break]] against Para-DX's Perfect Knock Out [[Critical Bomber]], the attacks hitting and stopping each other, but knocking Emu out of his transformation. Taiga and Hiiro try to get Emu away, but Parad jumps back into him and leaves, mocking Nico for losing to him six years ago.

Poppy is investigating Kuroto's old hideout, an old [[Genm Corp.]] office, her host's memories leading her to a back room with a chest inside and a manual labeled "[[Level 0]]". Inside the chest is a Gamer Driver and a black [[Mighty Action X]] Gashat with a gray image.

Icon-ex-aidThis article is about an episode in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid.
Red alert WARNING: This episode contains scenes of blood and bloodshed. Viewer discretion is advised!

We're Me!? (We’re 俺!?, Wia ore!?) is the twenty-ninth episode of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. It features the debut of Para-DX Perfect Knock Out Gamer Level 99, the Proto Mighty Action X Origin Gashat, Parado's first appearance as Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Double Action Gamer Level XX R and Emu Hojo's only appearance as Kamen Rider Para-DX Fighter Gamer Level 50.

Synopsis

It was Emu who managed to return Poppy Pipopapo back to normal thanks to the bond they share, but it was not a time for relief. Suddenly Parado begins to manipulate Emu! "Let's do this, the most exciting of all games!" Emu managed to remove the Gashat Gear Dual that transforms Parado into Kamen Rider Para-DX and uses it himself! Just what on Earth is going on?! Finally, the points connecting Emu and Parado are beginning to reveal themselves...

Plot

Parado has absorbed into Emu and challenged the other Riders, transforming into Para-DX Fighter Gamer Level 50; Hiiro and Taiga quickly transform into Brave and Snipe Quest and Shooting Gamers Level 2 but are quickly knocked down, "Emu" quitting as a doctor and leaving. "Emu" walks into the Bugsters' hideout, Parado jumping back out and deciding he has to Level Up to get Emu to fight him properly. He tries using the Gashat Gear Dual in a Gamer Driver, but nothing happens, as only humans can use that kind of Driver. Emu demands an explanation, and Parado says that this was all Emu's wish.

At CR, Poppy and Nico are freaking out. Hiiro explains Parado's obsession with fighting Emu and how Emu's Bugster couldn't be drawn out before, and how there's only one logical conclusion. Parado drags Emu to a park to explain: as a kid, Emu would think up games because he wanted someone to play with, and Parado was formed from those desires as the Bugster that grew from his infection. He absorbs into Emu again and transforms to Ex-Aid Double Action Gamer Level XX, Parado taking over Orange with Emu as Blue. Back at CR, the doctors have reached the same conclusion, Nico realizing it was actually Parado she'd lost to in the game tournament, who had at the time been controlling Emu's body as "Genius Gamer M". After Michihiko Zaizen had removed Parado six years ago, Emu had returned to his normal self and resolved to become a doctor. To cure Emu's game illness, they need to defeat Parado.

Orange fights Blue, but Blue doesn't fight back, Orange tossing over the Gashacon Key Slasher and Maximum Mighty X Gashat to help even the odds, but Blue still doesn't fight. Then Orange says he started Kamen Rider Chronicle just so they could fight, and erasing humans was also part of Emu's wish. Meanwhile, Nico switches her quest for vengeance from Emu to Parado. Poppy wants to save Emu because he saved her, Hiiro sarcastically thanking Kuroto for their situation; the name, however, triggers a memory in Poppy about her host knowing a young Kuroto mentioning infection countermeasures. Hiiro and Taiga are called in to Ex-Aid Level XX's fight with "himself", realizing Parado is controlling Orange. Parado explains that their memories and DNA are the same, and it was him reentering Emu that saved his life when Kuroto revealed that Emu had the game illness; he has controlled Emu's fate, and Emu can't change it, challenging him to prove otherwise. Blue finally fights back, knocking Orange down and hitting him with Maximum Mighty Critical Finish, using Reprogramming to fuse human genes into him and knock him out of his transformation, Emu's canceling as a result. Far from losing, Parado reveals that he can now use Genm's old Gamer Driver to Level Up, using the Gashat Gear Dual and fusing its games to become Para-DX Perfect Knock Out Gamer Level 99.

Hiiro and Taiga become Brave Level 2 and Snipe Simulation Gamer Level 50, but Level 99 is too strong to hurt. Para-DX summons the Gashacon Parabragun, using Gun Mode to fire a 3-shot chain attack at Snipe, nabbing an Iron-Body Energy Item for his weapon and Separation for himself to trigger multiple Perfect Critical Finishes, the attack blocking Snipe's Bang Bang Critical Fire before hitting him with iron-covered shots and defeating him, knocking the Gashat Gear Dual β loose. Emu wants to fight but his infection is flaring, preventing him from acting. Brave grabs the Gear Dual β and takes Brave Fantasy Gamer Level 50; Para-DX switches the Parabragun to Axe Mode for close combat. He uses a 7-times power slash attack before using Muscular and Speeding-Up Energy Items for Knock Out Critical Finish; Brave counters with Taddle Critical Slash but is defeated. Fighting against his infection, Emu becomes Ex-Aid Maximum Gamer Level 99, using Mighty Critical Break against Para-DX's Perfect Knock Out Critical Bomber, the attacks hitting and stopping each other, but knocking Emu out of his transformation. Taiga and Hiiro try to get Emu away, but Parado jumps back into him and leaves, mocking Nico for losing to him six years ago.

Poppy is investigating Kuroto's old hideout, an old Genm Corp. office, her host's memories leading her to a back room with a chest inside and a manual labeled "Level 0". Inside the chest is a Gamer Driver and a black Mighty Action X Gashat with a gray image.
