Previously on Kamen Rider W...
Kamen Rider is a public menace! He's a rotten criminal!
Listen closely! I happen to love the city of Fuuto more than anyone else!
What are you babbling about!?
You must've mastered Nazca's super speed ability...
I was training. And I did it for you.
Now, let's count up your sins!
FANG STRIDER
If you're wondering why we're already fighting with this guy again...
Then I need to back up about thirty minutes earlier.
It was truly what you'd call a twist of fate...
It's been a while, Sho.
Well I've always felt that when you're feeling kinda down,
the best way to get refreshed is to take a walk on down to the barbershop.
Thanks.
By the way Sho, I needed to ask you--
I second that sentiment.
When I need to feel refreshed, there's really no other place I'd rather be.
Wouldn't you say so, sir?
Yeah, sure thing.
If you're a fan of the Kaze Barbershop...
You must know Fuuto pretty well.
"Pretty well?" I have to ask, you know about Mr. Fuuto right?
Of course!
He's the town's mascot.
I'll have you know, I was the one who designed him!
I won the contest to design him in third grade!
Seriously!? Awesome!
That's incredible!
Isn't it? I'll see if I can get you a special keychain they make of him!
"I Love Mr. Fuuto."
It's a super rare commemorative keychain that they only made fifty of!
Please! Please!!!
Man, I really do love it here in Fuuto!
It's you!
You're--
Let's take this outside!
What a surprise.
I never thought I'd run into you in a place like that...
My dear Kamen Rider.
You...
Just who are you anyway?
Sonozaki Kirihiko.
I suppose you'd be more familiar with this appearance, though.
NAZCA
So that's how it is...
Gaia Memories, which guide humans down the path of sublime evolution...
It is my business to see to their distribution...
As well as my pleasure.
Cut the crap!
The stuff you guys are pushing,
Is a tool for evil that's making the city cry!
JOKER
If you're going to transform, why not use this "Fang Joker" that I've heard so much of?
Did you catch that Phillip? What do you wanna do?
I'd like to make my way over there as soon as possible but...
It's missing.
Missing?
What's missing?
The Fang Memory!
Where did it go?
I've been looking for it since this morning,
but there's no sign of it!
That's too bad then.
Looks like you'll have to settle for this.
JOKER
CYCLONE
Transform!
The usual, eh?
Well...
That merely seals your fate.
We'll see about that.
Not bad!

A twist of fate...
I had no clue that meeting him by chance like this...
Would be one of the last times I'd ever see him again...

Farewell to N
The Memory Kids

Shotaro. This Dopant's significantly stronger than before...
Indeed! And while I'd rather you be in your strongest form, I'll still take this chance to defeat you!
We're not gonna lose.
HEAT
HEAT METAL
Especially not to a low down scumbag who makes the city cry, like you!
That thing has quite a reach.
Super speed!
And despite what you say, I love this city as well!
From the bottom of my heart!
Hey! Sho!
Sho!
Consider yourself lucky.
Sho!
I guess we can't risk him getting caught up in the fight.
Sho!
Hey mister...
Sho! I came running after you!
What's the matter?
The truth is, I needed to hire you for some detective work.
Could you find my daughter?
Welcome home!
Hey Akane!
You sure have grown.
Welcome to the shop, Shotaro.
She left the day before yesterday,
and hasn't been home for two days.
How old is Akane now?
Fifteen years old. Ninth grade.
Well...
I think she'll probably come home without much to worry about.
Kids that age are always talking about running away from home and stuff like that.
But Akane's not like that!
You know that yourself.
You've got a point...
Alright.
I'll take the case.
That was a lovely meal.
Well Father, I need to head to work.
Wakana.
I remember now, I happened to find this.
It's the Clay Doll Memory.
Did you forget to mention that you had lost it?
Yes!
To be honest, I've been looking for it this whole time...
Take good care of it.
This represents our bond as a family, after all.
Yes sir.
Well, I have to go...
Father, she's been a little--
Anyway, Saeko...
Have we made any progress on developing those new Memories?
Well...
There was a last minute setback...
Now, come along, Raito.
I see...
So Raito...
will not be joining us just yet.
However, Father...
Kirihiko has awakened Nazca's super speed ability.
So he's reached level two...
I'd expect no less from the man you chose, Saeko.
That should do for now...
Phillip, I need you to look something up--
Hey!
What are you two doing!?
We caught something!
That is one big mouse!
What is this mess!?
Dammit, Akiko, you--
It wasn't my idea!
Then that means...
Shotaro, you're home...
Please, help us locate Fang.
I guess he's in no condition to look anything up...
Don't tell me... we've got a case?
Yeah, a missing person.
Really caught me off guard when he asked too...
Then we need to get to work!
Let's go!
We can't! We should find Fang as soon as we can!
Work is more important than finding it.
But...
Oh look, it's time for Princess Wakana's radio show!
And now what you've all been waiting for, Mystery Tour in Fuuto!
A message from a listener calling himself Michael:
"Princess, listen to this!"
"A friend of mine has seen some kind of bird-man near the expressway in the Kazami district!"
A bird-man? Fascinating!
Could I trouble you ladies... for some info?
Hey Sho, what're you doing here?
Egusa Akane, she's a ninth grader at Fuuto Middle School South...
Oh yeah, the girl from the barbershop, the one who was an ace for her track team...
Don't forget to pose, you two!
It seems she hasn't been home in two days.
Akiko, how could you!?
Sorry!
Now that you mention, I think I saw her hanging out with some other kids from her school.
Seemed kinda scary too...
Scary? They're just some fifteen year old kids.
What are you talking about? Kids at that age are the ones who are most messed up.
And there's plenty of stuff her parents might not know about.
That's right. I don't get these kids nowadays~
That's weird coming from you...
So where did you see her and her friends?
I think it was under the expressway in Kazami...
Akane.
Hey. It's been a while.
Shotaro...
The daruma doll's face... when it fell over.
What's that supposed to be?
And when you weren't looking... it turned into a bobblehead daruma!
What're you talking about... check it out I'm Mamiya Rinzo!
Are you two stupid or something?
Aw come on.
Last time I did that you were cracking up.
I'm not a kid anymore!
Even so, your dad's worried about you.
Go home.
I'm not going home! Leave me alone!
Hey, wait a sec Akane!
Touma! Yuichi!
Hang on!
Whoa there!
You need Akane for something?
And like...
What's with you and the old lady?
O-o-o-ld lady!?
Easy now...
We... are detectives.
Detectives?
What a pain in the ass...
A Gaia Memory!
Hey...
Do you realize what that thing's gonna do to you?
Nope... we just wanna have a little fun.
Too damn bad! Now hand it over.
Yuichi!
Got it!
Here we go!
BIRD
I didn't hear about this!
Get 'em!
Looks like you need a little corporal punishment...
Phillip!
Shotaro... I've caught a kabuto beetle in one of the traps I set to catch Fang.
You're not gonna find a kabuto beetle at this time of year!
Got you!
Shotaro!?
Let me go!
Wait, don't let me go!
Hey, Yuichi!
Touma, don't!
Okay! Bye bye!
No way!
Transform!
CYCLONE JOKER
Kamen Rider!?
Payback time.
LUNA JOKER
There... you go!
Ow!
Now, ready for a spanking?
METAL
LUNA METAL
I give up I give up I give up!
I surrender!
Geez... a kid like you using one of those damn things.
I'm sorry!
Now hand it over.
Yuichi, pass it to me!
BIRD
What!? They've been sharing the same Memory!?
Alright! Come on Akane!
This can't be...
You need a Connection Port to be able to use a Memory...
It should be impossible for multiple people to use a single Memory...
Hold it, you!
He got away!
Hey.
What's wrong?
Yuichi!
Hey!
Yuichi!
Are you okay?!
This must be a side effect from using the Gaia Memory...
It seems Memories were circulating to children who were only fifteen years old.
It was the Bird Memory.
That's not good.
The purpose behind the sale of Gaia Memories...
is to help humanity evolve into an ideal life-form.
I can understand sacrificing a few corrupt adults for that noble purpose but,
I feel this case crosses the line.
I understand.
I'll look into it.
Please do.
Kirihiko...
How have you been feeling lately?
In peak condition, of course!
I see.
I'm counting on you, dear.
How is Yuichi?
He should be fine.
That's a relief.
Why were a bunch of middle schoolers using a Gaia Memory?
At first...
This thing is kick-ass.
With this thing, we'll be superhuman!
Superhuman? How?
Let me show you instead of explaining.
Stick your arm out for a second.
BIRD
It was scary at first, but once we got used to it it was a lot of fun...
We would change into the Bird all the time and fly in the sky...
It's so much fun to go flying!
But eventually, Touma said...
Y'know...
I'm going to use the Bird's power for something more meaningful...
What do you mean "meaningful"?
I'm gonna attack people, from the sky.
I think my first target should be...
Akane objected the whole time but...
Touma just kept going after people in different places...
He must've thought of it as a game...
Is there anywhere else Touma was going to attack?
Now that you mention it...
He mentioned going somewhere tomorrow.
Hey did you hear this?
I heard some kinda hotshot rookie is getting assigned to our station.
What makes him such a hotshot?
Well I hear he does super good work,
and is super good looking too.
Seriously?
Hey mister, I heard your daughter was a starter on her track and field team, and a bit of a superstar herself?
Yes, she sure is.
That sounds nice... she's a middle-schooler right?
Y'know, if I had a daughter around that age, it'd be nice to get her to give her dad a backrub--
Oh yeah, just like that--
Please, you need to run!
Hey, you're from M.S. South's track team--
If you don't hurry Touma will--
Hurry! Hurry!
A bird man?
Here I come again!
Oh come on, you're not hurt that bad!
Now get up! He's making a second pass!
That's enough!
Shotaro...
Please, help Touma!
Yeah, leave it to me.
Hey Shotaro!
Jin! You okay?
You gotta call Kamen Rider! You two are friends right?
Okay uh, I'll get ahold of him but you take everyone and get them out of here!
Got it. Let's go!
Hurry!
You again!?
Well, playtime's over.
Hand the Memory over, Touma.
That's not the kind of thing a kid should be messing around with.
Shut up!
Looks like we're not gonna get far discussing things...
Hey, Phillip.
Yes, Shotaro?
What are you doing here?
I've got a theory in regards to Fang's behavior.
I'm here to test it.
Theory?
I believe that when I am in danger...
is when it will definitely appear.
Come on!
Who the hell are you!?
That proves that.
Reckless as usual, partner.
Now Shotaro, let's put an end to this.
Right.
JOKER
FANG
Transform!
Don't worry, I'll catch your body when you pass out!
FANG JOKER
I gotcha!
Ohh, that one!
Akiko!
Now, let's count up your sins.
Oh crap, this guy's bad news!
SHOULDER FANG
Dammit!
Whew, what a drag...
Touma...
Phillip, time for the Memory Break!
Understood!
FANG MAXIMUM DRIVE
FANG STRIDER
They did it!
Touma!
Touma...
Akane...
Thank goodness...
Well, that settles that.
No... something's strange.
We executed a Memory Break, but the hard Memory isn't destroyed...
Touma!
Hey, what the hell is going on!?
It's because they shared the same Memory.
Using it in that way shouldn't even be possible...
Don't talk about it like it has nothing to do with you!
How could you sell one to a kid!?
We have no sales record of a Memory being purchased by someone underage!
If that's true, then explain this!
I'm looking into it.
More importantly...
NAZCA
Fang Joker...
I should use this opportunity to settle things with you!
ARM FANG
Kamen Rider W
It's not your fault, it's the guys who gave him the Gaia Memory...
But they're just children!
It's a shame that our family will be losing a member...
I told you didn't I? That I love this town too!
