Two Detectives in One
/
One Year After - "Fuuto"
Good morning!
'Morning!
Is this it?
Sign: Kamome Billiards
Can I help you with something?
Hey, what does hard-boiled mean?
Never backing down, no matter what the situation...
The way that a real man's man lives...
That...
Is hard-boiled.
Well you're being evicted, here's your notice.
What was that?!
I'm this place's owner.
So I'd appreciate it if the weird wannabe detective would vacate the premises.
That's no good...
...for a neighborhood middle schooler to get caught up in the dangers of the underworld...
...without her knowing what's going on.
I just came to this town for the first time...
...and I'm twenty!
Seriously!?
Narumi... Akiko?
The chief's daughter!?
The chief...
...won't be coming back for a while...
I didn't hear anything about that!
The chief...
He... I...
Sho!
Long time no see!
Marina?
Marina!
Togawa Yosuke...
Your boyfriend?
It's been a week since he went missing...
Please... find him.
This town is my yard.
You can relax and wait.
I'm Hidari Shotaro.
A private detective.
In this town, the wind carries everything from the smallest happiness to the greatest misfortune...
My client, a childhood friend of mine named Tsumura Marina...
It was certainly an odd wind that blew her back into my life...
Why are you narrating to yourself!?
Ow!
You!
Now why might you be following me?
I figure I'd see how you do things firsthand...
So, did you figure out why that guy disappeared?
Yeah...
...it seems to have something to do with some changes at the company where he works...
But where do you get off trying to supervise me!?
Because I've got this!
With you around... you'll hurt my hard-boiled mindset!
Something stinks...
What's this?
Windscale...
This is where Togawa used to work.
Dammit, it's the private detective! Sticking your nose into our business again!?
Hey Makura!
Sorry, but, I don't have much to say to a third rate cop like you...
What was that!? You've got balls!
Quit your whining!
You better not screw with the police!
Shut up!
Are you two a cat and a dog or something, huh?
Shotaro, come with me for a sec...
Sorry about that Jin...
You've still got a sharp nose.
Take a look, that's the fourth floor...
They said that unless something burns the frame of the building out from under it...
something like is that impossible.
A Dopant... huh?
Dopant?
I figured...
In the past week, there's been three incidents like this...
Nothing this large though...
If you figure anything out, let me know, alright?
They were all offices of the company Togawa had worked at, huh?...
Jeez, this was supposed to be a missing person case, and now a Dopant's involved...
Dopant?
I feel like the wind's telling me that this might be a job for us...
Quit trying to be cool and explain already!
What exactly is a Dopant!?
This is assault!
It's me, Phillip!
Phillip?
Did you get that stuff I sent you?
It's fascinating.
Very stirring...
We need to know the perpetrator's abilities! Look up the details on his Gaia Memory.
Wait, nevermind...
Why not?
Because I'm looking right at him...
The Gaia Memory type...
Is Magma.
Run for it!
What's up with this town?!
I didn't hear anything about this!
You get it now?
If you value your life, I would head back to where you came from.
Hey, be careful!
Hey!
Huh!?
Sign: Sonozaki
Tardiness is punishable by dismissal in my organization...
But there was a disaster!
It was so vexing, to be late to the first dinner party in so long...
A building melts, and people die...
It's a common occurrance in this town.
Although it is because of our operations...
That was a Magma model wasn't it?
Who could've sold it?
I had heard that there's an extremely talented young fellow in the sales division...
Father...
Yes, Saeko?
I thought I'd tell you...
TABOO
I've met someone I'd like to marry.
That guy really pisses me off!
I'm going to evict the hell out of him!
Huh?
...and this is the most common cause among among this country's volcanos.
They are caused by when within the subduction zone enough magma is forced out into....
Excuse me?
Would you stay out of the way?
In regards to the available information on sulfphur dioxide and volcanic rock.
I've covered 142,610 articles...
Are you this Phillip guy?
The wannabe detective's partner...
Narumi Akiko!
I've covered all the material in regards to you already.
Not interested anymore.
Be on your way back to this Osaka place...
Osaka place?
Don't you know about Osaka?
I'm pretty sure it's at least better known than Fuuto...
Because of stuff like fried octopus...
The middle schooler!
Hey, what the hell are you doing here!?
Hello Shotaro!
She's wonderful.
It's intriguing! I've found a new subject to research.
I'm sure you've never heard of it...
This "fried octopus" food!
In regards to the preparation and composition of fried octopus there were 3,543,280 results found.
The method of eating it is particularly interesting!
Now you've done it!
You've got Phillip all wound up!
What's with this guy?
Until he's finished with his research he won't be able to focus on the Dopant case!
There it is again! Dopant!
There are people who are selling these things in the city now...
They're called Gaia Memories.
Someone with one of these can transform into a powerful super-human...
And those super-humans are called Dopants.
That's ridiculous—
Weren't we just attacked by one?
Akashi dumplings? Kobe-style fried octopus? Fried eggs?
But man... once this happens he can't focus on anything else.
So what do we do?
That about covers everything regarding fried octopus!
Could you hurry and check the Gaia Library then?
Right.
Beginning search...
The memory in question is Magma...
We need to figure out where he'll attack next.
The first keyword is "Togawa Yosuke"...
That narrowed it down...
That's because we know exactly who's involved...
Next is Windscale.
That's the name of the company he used to work at...
Next, put the following serial number in:
WS-09K-097T
It was quite insightful of you to put in the serial number on the tag...
This is a limited edition item sold only in specialty stores.
Among the stores where it's stocked, the only one which hasn't been attacked is...
The Kaze-Tani branch of Windscale.
Let's go Phillip.
You're not coming?
Of course.
The two of us make one detective, after all.
Sho?
Togawa Yosuke, right?
You work here too?
In that case...
MAGMA
Burn!
I'll stop you...
No.
We'll stop you
JOKER
Phillip?
CYCLONE
Is that a Gaia Memory?
Transform!
CYCLONE JOKER
What? What?
I didn't hear anything about this!
Phillip!
Now... let's count your sins.
This is pretty hot...
In situations like this...
LUNA

Hey Phillip, say something before you switch Memories.
What shall we do, Shotaro?
Gonna have to go for a Memory Break, of course.

The rest is for the cops to handle...
Man, how do I explain this to Marina?
What the hell is that!?
Hey, stop it!
Ow...
You okay?
We gotta run!
Hey!
Wake up!
Where are we going!?
This is scary!
Kamen Rider W
I don't want to see anyone in this town cry...
Why!?
It might just eat you alive.
I don't need your help.
You murdered Togawa Yosuke!
