Please help me, I can't sleep!
Fess up! Why'd you put the researchers to sleep?
Phillip, you can't die!
You cannot die yet.

Now, let's count up your sins!
You're my only partner, Shotaro.

Headline: The Re-Emergence of the Beast Man
Hidari Shotaro will cause you misfortune.
You cannot stay with him.
You must leave that man behind.
Why would Shroud say that?
Hey Phillip, what's up?
You feeling okay?
Is there something on my face?
It's nothing.
Then I'd like you to help me look something up.
The beast man?
Oh, I remember this.
That urban legend that started about ten years ago...
You think it's a Dopant, Terui?
Yeah.
A scary old man!
H-H-How can we help you?
You here to make us some kind of offer we can't refuse? Huh?
Get the hell outta--
Ow!
Is Chief Narumi Soukichi around?
I'm Bitou Isamu. I was a client of his.
I've been locked up for ten years, and he said to come see him when I got out.
The Chief is...
My father...
My father passed away.
He's dead? Chief Narumi?
In an accident.
N-Now me, his daughter, and his apprentice, Shotaro here, are working as detectives.
Did you have a case for my father?
Nah...
I asked him to look something up for me when he visited once.
And he said it'd be my present for being released...
Mr. Bitou's case record...
B...
B huh...
B... B,B,B,B
I don't see it.
That's fine then.
Wait a sec please!
If it's something the chief left to be taken care of, then that means I'm up.
I'll have to handle it.
I've got no need for a rookie, kid.
You just frickin' met me!
Hey Mr. Bitou!
Wait a sec!
Hey!
Shroud... what about Shotaro could mean misfortune for me?

Episode 31
The B Brought By the Wind
To Pursue The Beast
/
This place sure hasn't changed.
Bitou Isamu. Forty one years old.
When I see this guy, who seems to come out of the same era the Chief was from...
It stirs something inside of me.
Like my life is about to change... big time.
Ow!
Quit babbling, boy.
I don't care if you wanna follow me, but keep it quiet, got it?
Hey mister!
Welcome!
Can I ask you something?
I'm Bitou, and I used to run a place around here...
I'm looking for my old employee Maru...
That is, Arima Maruo.
Doesn't ring a bell.
Hey Sho!
Hey, it's Watcherman! What's up?
Taking pics of all the local delicacies again?
You bet.
And I couldn't help overhearing you mention that Arima guy.
He's the president of the firm that owns all the real estate around this area.
President? Maru?
Narumi Soukichi.
The man who fought against the Syndicate...
He saved me, and then taught me about life.
He seems to have been an impressive guy.
I would've liked to have met him.
I wonder what dad had for that guy?
Hey Phillip! Search for it!
...can you?
I can try.
Sam!
Bell. It's been a while.
Sam and Bell? What's that about?
Our old nicknames.
"Sam" from Isamu, and she's Suzuko so she's "Bell."
The other was one of my workers, Arima Maruo. He's "Maru."
Sam, Bell, and Maru.
Oh my, it's kind of embarrassing to hear about now.
Here, come on in.
Still playing Shogi huh?
Practicing to lose gracefully, so that I can help keep his spirits high.
Where's Maru?
Is your husband doing well?
Doing real well... Mr. Bitou.
Congratulations on your release.
Maru...
Oh come on...
All this "Maru" and "Bell" stuff like it's the old days.
Consider our position, as husband and wife.
Dear, he came all this way to visit us, there's no need to...
Suzuko...
Shut the hell up.
Maru! You bastard!
Sam!
Could you get out of here?
All kinds of weird rumors are gonna be circulating if someone sees you around here.
I've been hearing some weird rumors myself...
About a wild beast.
Got it? If you're still making Bell miserable, I've got a few ideas of what to do about it...
You gonna go crying to that private eye again?
I heard he's dead.
What of it?
Or did he leave something for you?
You bet he did.
You know what I'm talking about, right?
And who are you?
I'm a detective, and the late Narumi Soukichi's apprentice.
And believe me, I've heard all about it.
Let's go, Mr. Bitou.
The final keyword will be "Bitou Isamu."
That did it.
Ten years ago...
There was an attempted robbery on an armored car that was driving near the Fuuto reservoir.
Shortly after this incident, Bitou Isamu turned himself in and was sentenced to ten years in prison.
And why did Narumi Soukichi bother investigating this after the fact?
It seems there was a lack of decisive evidence.
The armored car, along with the three billion yen it carried,
allegedly fell into the reservoir and have never been recovered.
And witnesses reported seeing wreckage that couldn't have been caused by a man.
Wait...
This case was from ten years ago?
Do you think it was caused by the beast man?
Mr. Bitou, I think I'm starting to get the picture.
The thing the Chief found out was proof that guy was up to something, right?
You know where the proof is, kid?
Nah, I was bluffing.
Trying to bait him... he's gonna make a move sooner or later--
Ow!
You dumbass!
You have no idea what you're dealing with.
Listen, Maru is...
That guy is...
A Dopant!
Where's the bear?
I said give me the damn bear!
Bear?
Looks like I'll have to tear it out of you.
Phillip!
JOKER
Transform.
CYCLONE
Transform.
What's with the Memory?
Well, I'll worry about it later, I guess.
CYCLONE JOKER
Let's do it!
What's with you? You want a piece of me?
That kid...
Whoa now!
What the...?
Is that it?
Punk!
Whoa!
He's powerful!
Let's go, Shotaro!
Yeah!
My body... it's not moving... right...
Joker isn't powerful enough, try a different Memory.
In that case!
CYCLONE METAL
That's not it... is it because my side is too powerful?
You're getting sloppy, Hidari!
Terui...
Who the hell are you?
So this is the beast man I've heard so much of?
ENGINE MAXIMUM DRIVE
Impossible! The rate he regenerates at is insane!
Nobody who gets in my way gets out alive.
You're both dead!
Enough!
He doesn't know anything. He was bluffing.
You're...
Maru.
I knew it was you.
You turned into a beast man again!
Mr. Bitou!
It's a new day.
Anyone who goes against me in this town... boom!
Boom!
You bastard!
Hey!
BEAST
This is the Gaia Library...?
Why?
The transformation is over, but my consciousness isn't returning to my body...?
Double?
What could that form be?
Are you okay?
I was scared!
You were tossing and turning a lot more than usual.
What happened to me?
That's what I'd like to know, jeez!
Is this because I encountered the Xtreme Memory?
My husband hasn't come back...
Were you aware he was using a Gaia Memory?
No! I'm sure he would never...
I'm sorry, but I saw it myself.
Ma'am!
Are you sure you don't know anything?
Are you really sure...
Bell.
Sam!
Me being here probably won't help at all but...
No, thank you!
So the true culprit from ten years ago was Arima, and he was using a Memory!
And our only hint to where the evidence is at is the word "bear."
FROG
Bear!
Bear?
Like those statues that have a salmon in their mouth?
A little wooden sculpted bear huh? There's no way it's...
No, wait...
I think I've seen that somewhere before...
And it was related to the Chief too...
What is it?! Did I say something brilliant again!?
You sure did!
I remember! That's where it is!
Let's go! The sooner the better!
Wait a moment Shotaro!
There are certain issues with Double right now.
If you're going to make a move, you need to be cautious.
Yeah, now that you mention it, our balance was kind of screwed up...
But it was because Cyclone was too powerful right? Just tone it down a little and we'll be fine.
Mr. Bitou is gonna be happy.
The damned cops are sniffing around now...
Do they want me to go on a rampage?
Calm down. The police have their own Kamen Rider, you know.
You gals from the syndicate?
What, you wanna take a ride on the wild side?
Of course not!
God, there are no decent men in this line of work.
What was that--
The one who is interested in you... is the man over there.
Who the hell are you?
I would like to see the full potential of your body.
Would you like me to handle it for you?
This bear hunt...
It's up here in the Kazefuki Mountains...
The chief ended up owning a cabin around here.
I've been there before... and that's where I saw that little bear sculpture.
I can feel it.
Indeed...
I possess some new power.
Shroud!? How did you get in here!?
I've known about this place much longer than you.
Raito. Soon you will evolve...
Because of the Xtreme Memory.
But the partner that will allow you to grow to that level... is not Hidari Shotaro.
Shotaro can't accommodate my power anymore?
Shotaro, where'd you see the bear?
I think it was somewhere upstairs.
Chief...
It's just like you warned me about.
Maru hasn't cleaned up his act at all.
He's still making Bell miserable.
What are you looking at?
Mr. Bitou, you're still in love with Mrs. Bell aren't you?
You're 100% amateur hour, aren't you?
Are you seriously the chief's apprentice?
What the hell?
What are you talking about?
Ten years ago...
Please! Sam! I'm begging you!
Show mercy!
Get up!
Sam, stop it!
Please! Let him go!
I... without him... I...
I can't go on...
Then you... that's why you took the fall for Arima?!
For the woman you loved...
That's not the kind of thing you gotta spell out, kid.
And the Chief... he never said a word.
When I met with him to tell him what I was gonna do...
Didn't say a word. Even though he knew the truth, and saw right through my sappy feelings...
He was a hell of a man.
Listen kid...
Being small-time is painful.
You might end up losing something big.
Oh come on...
Chief!
Like I've got anything to lose that would hurt more than the Chief...
I found the bear!
Here here here!
So this is what he was gonna give me?
I wonder what's up with that bear?
I mean, from the look of it, it's just a wooden bear...
Mr. Bitou!
So this is it, then?
Isaka Shinkuro!
Phillip!
Hey Phillip!
Phillip, what's up!?
Akiko, take care of Mr. Bitou!
Hold it right there!
Raito, don't waste your time.
Please move aside.
I suppose I'll do away with you while I'm here...
Phillip!
What were you thinking?!
Our only choice is to use Fang Joker!
Maybe by using my body as the base...
Well whatever, all things considered, we need to hurry!
JOKER
FANG
Transform!
FANG JOKER
What's with this power!?
It's no good! Even using my body... even with Fang...
Shotaro can't keep up!
You seem off-balance today! Would you like me to examine you?
Phillip! We'll fight back with a Maximum Drive!
We're too poorly coordinated! He'll be able to withstand it!
Well if we're dead, it won't matter either way will it!?
Understood.
FANG MAXIMUM DRIVE
FANG STRIDER
No... we couldn't maintain the transformation into Double...
Shotaro!
Why...?
This time I'll--
Your time is up, Hidari Shotaro.
You don't have what it takes...
...to be Double.
No way... I can't turn into Double...
Kamen Rider W
Terui Ryu... would you like to partner with me?
Shotaro has what it takes because he's half boiled!
Xtreme!
