Courage of Your Convictions

Poem 4: What Was This For? (Form: Anaphora)

Speaker: Ryusei Sakuta

Story: Who Decides?/Horseshoes and Hand Grenades

This was made to save my friend.

This was all for Jiro's sake that I accepted that deal.

This deal was made to free him from that coma.

This coma was what drove me to become a Kamen Rider.

This Kamen Rider has killed someone.


This someone was a boy who wanted to be friends with everyone.

This boy was so optimistic and so hopeful.

This boy is now cynical and filled with hatred.

This boy's change is all his fault.


This boy's change is his mistake.

This mistake was believing that things would go write if Gentaro died.

This belief was what caused me to lose everything.

This everything was the friendship with the boy and his friends.

This killer must atone for his sin.


This sin is the sacrifice of an innocent.

This innocent now stands in front of him with anger in his face.

This anger is justified.


This killer constantly stated, "I will decide your fate."

This fate was already set in stone.

This killer can only scream in agony for what he caused.

This agony is all my fault.
