Important things that happened

Kitaoka reveals to Ren his reason to fight in the Rider Battle: to achieve eternal life.
Kitaoka wants to trap Shinji, so that he stays behind bars instead of fighting in the Rider Battle. This also gives Dragreder the eventual opportunity to kill Shinji if he doesn't continue to fight.
When Shimada is discharged from the hospital, she bumps into Kitaoka. She learns that Kitaoka suffers from a terminal sickness when she hears a couple of nurses whispering about his health.
The little girl (Yukari) wants Kitaoka's help because she needs money for her mother's surgery fee.
- Her father was Shimada's kidnapper. He kidnapped Shimada because he lost his job after ORE Journal published an article that criticized his factory. The factory shut down and as a result, he was unable to pay the surgery fee for his dear wife.
- The father didn't return to the little girl because he was killed by Wildboarder when he attacked Shinji at the crime scene.
Thanks to Yukari's testimony, Shinji is released from police custody.
Seeing Yukari's mother in the hospital, Kitaoka pays the fee for her surgery.
Zolda destroys Wildboarder with his Final Vent, but its explosive power weakens Ryuki and Knight.

A quiet girl, Yukari has a habit of whispering into the ears of others when she has something she wants to say.
- She does this with Gorou, as she is indebted to him.
- Through whispering to Gorou, she calls Kitaoka an idiot for his self-centered nature.
- She speaks up to defend Kitaoka from Shinji and Ren, as gratitude for Kitaoka paying for her mother's surgery.
Gorou says Yukari might have made 1,000 papers cranes for her mother, but Kitaoka says there are about 10 paper cranes next to Yukari's mother at the hospital.
