We are the two-in-one Masked Singers!
I love this color. It's the color of frustrated youth! It's too good!
You can't just toy with Jimmy's feelings...
He's a human being.

Guess that means it's surprisingly easy to a trick a trickster...
Let's do it, Phillip, Terui.

CYCLONE JOKER
Let's wrap it up, Terui.
JOKER EXTREME
Fuuto.
The word "mysterious" is a perfect match for this city...
And this time...
The case coming to our office...
No, more like the case coming to Akiko...
Is about as mysterious as it gets...
Phillip.
Package for you.
No return address listed...
This should be fascinating...
Akiko, what's wrong?
It's this book!
It makes you you wanna cry your brains out!
The Girl and Her Doll's Home.
It's noteworthy for winning some literary awards and going on to become a best-seller.
The little girl who's the main character is just such a good, good girl!
Hey!
A pseudo-Memory?
And...
A guide for constructing a new gadget.
What in the world...
But... who could've...?
Shroud...
Either way, I'll see about building it.
Alright.
This is so good!
Really makes you cry!
Hey, hey lady.
Oh my, you're a little cutie.
Just like the character in this book...
Hey little girl, who are you?
Rika!
Rika then?
Where'd you come from?
Did you get lost?
Hey, hey lady!
Listen to the dolly!
Dolly?
Where is it?
No, that's not it!
Come on, listen to it!
You gotta listen!
Calm down! Just calm down a sec--
Did someone steal your doll?
The Kazebuki-cho area...
Is that where your doll is?
Lady, you gotta listen to the dolly okay?
Akiko, do you know where the toolbox is?
Oh Shotaro! Do you know where this girl came from?
What girl are you talking about?
What girl...?
This girl--
What're you talking about?
Where could she have gone?
Oh, that's what I was looking for.
Wind Castle.
This is it!
A private detective?
You?
Yes ma'am!
The bona fide chief of a private detective agency!
Well I guess that makes me a bona fide literature critic.
What do you want?
A little girl asked me to retrieve her doll...
A doll?
Now that you mention it, one showed up this morning.
Yeah I figured...
Mmf hrmf frrph mmfh!
It's right over there, so feel free to take it.
Oh, okay. Sorry to barge in!
There it is!
Huh?
Excuse me!
Did you review The Girl and Her Doll's Home too?
Oh yeah, that thing that was obviously based on the author's daughter...
That thing was nothing but a parent trying to make their kid seem like a big deal!
B-But y'know...
I felt that it really conveyed the love a parent has for their child, or something...
He's just pandering to make some cash.
I'm telling you, that author doesn't give the tiniest crap about his child!
Huh?
Huh? Huh? Huh?!
Did it fall out?
It's gone?
That's strange...
Hey, what're you doing? Hurry up and take that thing with you!
Where could it have gone?
It was there just a second ago...
Sorry, but could you help me look for--
Now she's gone too!
What the...

The Sticky Fingered Doll
/
The doll is moving!
Let...
...go!
Ear! My ear!
Did it! The doll!
Alright, for now, just calm down.
And... could you just tell us what really happened?
I'm not lying! I saw it with my own eyes!
Jin!
Did Akiko do something?
She's under suspicion for attempted murder!
So why'd you try to kill her?
Some kind of grudge we don't know about?
I'm telling you, the freaking doll did it!
It's gotta be some kinda cursed doll!
See!
Start moving again!
Moooove!
But don't curse me, okay?
Hey.
Akiko...
Did Karakida mention... anything about the doll being sent to her?
Or about when it showed up?
She did, actually!
She said it was delivered this morning!
Shotaro, you believe me don't you?
There's no such thing as a cursed doll.
And aren't you a little too old to be playing with dolls?
You can't expect me to buy that story.
Right?
Oh really?
I guess I'll just have to prove my innocence myself--
Oh that's right, there was another address...
Where are you going?! Stop! Stop or I'll shoot!
Come on Makky, stop flipping out!
I oughta arrest for obstruction of justice, you crappy detective!
Go ahead and try it!
Hey hey hey, could you two stop turning the crime scene into a circus?
This is it!
Hello, excuse me!
Are you okay!?
You trying to get this pinned on me too, you cursed doll?!
Let goooo!
Help me!
You alright, chief?
Where'd it go?
ACCEL
Transform!
ACCEL
Stand aside.
You little...
What the--
Give it a rest already, you freaky monster doll!
Lady...
ENGINE
ELECTRIC
It got away...
Ryu!
You believed me!?
Oh my God, I'm so glad!
There were actually two previous incidents that resembled your case...
No signs of forced entry in both cases.
And the exact same kind of box was found inside as well.
So you're saying the cursed doll was inside that box?
Yeah...
But it's not a cursed doll.
I'm sure...
It's a Dopant.
A Dopant? Something tiny like that?
The body of a Dopant...
Can become beautiful, or hideous, depending on how it develops...
My dear Saeko...
In that regard, your body is exquisite.
Although...
Although what?
It's not quite perfect today...
Is there something upsetting you?
You're quite skilled at guessing what someone's thinking.
It's my sister.
She just keeps doing whatever she wants to...
She doesn't realize she has an obligation...
Obligation?
Yes.
She has an obligation to fight for me.
Say...
Could you "cure" Wakana?
So that she'd be a true Dopant...
Certainly.
If that's what you want...
Alright, I've got it.
Ribbit ribbit...
Phillip!
We need you to look something up.
Sorry, but as you can clearly see, I'm quite busy.
Chief's orders.
You need to help Ryu out.
Hey Akiko, why is it helping Terui specifically?
And why have you been clinging to him so much?
Because I can really rely on Ryu!
Unlike a certain someone!
Oh, fine!
Come Phillip, hurry up and take a look--
I guess I have to...
We'll be looking for the culprit behind the string of recent attacks...
What's the first keyword?
Doll.
Next?
The people who were attacked...
Editor at a magazine, Inada Tsutsuru.
Sci-fi author, Hashimoto Tomari.
Literary critic, Karakida Yuki.
Columnist, Tama Senta.
That narrowed it down.
The one thing the four who were attacked have in common...
They all had rather unkind words for a certain author's work.
And who's that?
Horinouchi Keio.
Huh? But that's... the author who wrote this book!
So it's him...
"Pictured alongside his beloved daughter, Rikako."
Huh...
Rikako?
Rika!
That girl in the picture is the one who asked me to get that doll back!
She may also be the identity of the doll Dopant...
I see...
Considering it's a doll-sized Dopant, that would explain it...
No way! A little girl like that wouldn't use a Gaia Memory!
It's more likely Horinouchi used it on her.
So you're saying that her father used the Memory on her?
No... if that's the case, we have to save Rika as quickly as possible!
Okay, let's go Akiko.
I thought you didn't want to play with dolls?
I'm just gonna investigate with Ryu!
You little...!
Thank you.
Okay, who's next?
He looks honest enough...
And I guess we don't actually have any proof that he did it...
What're we gonna do!?
I'll handle it.
I'm surprised you were willing to say you based it on your daughter...
Considering what a two-dimensional piece of sentimental slop it is.
What's all this about?
You don't even love your daughter, do you?
And who might you be?
You're with the police?
I heard a rumor that whenever someone badmouths your book you'll send your daughter to kill them.
That's quite a scary story, isn't it?
Well...
Since you gave me such constructive criticism, I'll send you a new copy of my book as thanks.
I'm looking forward to it.
Pardon us.
What was that all about?
Just laying some bait.
What I just told him was along the same lines as the four people who were attacked by the doll said.
He'll take some kind of action if we're right.
I see! So you pissed him off on purpose!
Well done, Ryu!
Lady, listen to the dolly!
Rika!
Thank goodness you're okay!
What the dolly says...
Your daddy made you become a Dopant right?
Is that it?
You hafta listen!
Let's go to the police okay? They'll look after you.
You gotta listen!
Chief...
What're you doing?
I found Rika!
Then where is she?
Wakana...
We're going to do a little examination to help you achieve your true potential...
What kind of examination--
You don't want to use your Gaia Memory do you?
How did you know--
I want you to leave your Driver with me.
Okay?
Right.
Y'know, Terui's been really chummy with Akiko lately...
And yet he still tries to act cool, all like "Don't question me!" and stuff.
I guess he's a lot less serious than he tries to act...
Pretty damn sad.
If you ask me, Shotaro...
You're pretty damn sad for just hanging around here with me and drinking tea...
It's totally obvious.
You wish Chief Akiko was dependent on you, right?
They got a word for that y'know:
It's called jealousy.
Man, I have no idea what you're talking about...
Detective!? What're you still doing around here!
This box...
It was sitting outside the office.
Back off! This thing's a Dopant!
Dumbass!
You think there'd be a Dopant as small as this?
See?
Upsy daisy!
Hey, watch it!
Can you hear me?
Unbelievable!
You little...
Squirming around...
Hey!
I see he took the bait.
Stop it!
Well done, chief.
Not this time.
ACCEL
Transform!
You wait right there!
Phillip!
Yes?
We gotta transform!
I'm a bit busy...
Who cares, just transform!
Just a moment!
Oh come on, quit stalling and freaking transform!
Fine. I'm so close to finishing too...

What the--!?
Stop it Rika!
I heard it again...
Where'd it go!?
Shotaro, use the Spider-Shock.
Good work.
Lady...
You're not getting away!
I'll handle it.
ACCEL
MAXIMUM DRIVE
Ryu! Wait!
It'll be fine, it's just a Memory Break.
Rika!
Rika! Rika!?
The Memory isn't being ejected? Then that isn't Horinouchi's daughter.
It's a regular doll.
Seriously?
Then how was it moving around before?
The culprit wasn't a doll Dopant...
But rather, a Dopant that controlled the doll.
I see!
LUNA
So he's the puppeteer...
Wait! I've had enough!
Thank God!
Rika wasn't the Dopant!
Lady...
Lady! Lady!
That voice!?
Listen to the dolly!
Kamen Rider W
Make her into a puppet, please.
You have no will of your own now. You will act how I want you to!
Rika, I swear that I'll save you.
My client's in there!
That settles it!
