Long ago, magic and science worked together in harmony.
But with the rise of civilization, magic fell into the shadows.
It is now the present day.
One man uses magic to hold back forces that science is powerless to stop.
He is known as... the Wizard.
Mmm, tasty.
Did you find them, Garuda?
Oh well... I'll finish these later.
CONNECT, PLEASE
Lead the way.
What's the situation?
There's a number of workers still inside.
You ready, Daimon?
Absolutely.
It's our duty to protect the public.
Alright, move in!
What are these things?!
No way!
You're powerless against me.
CONNECT, PLEASE
What?!
Silver bullets?! Are you a wizard?!
A wizard?
Curses!
You are the Wizard!
It's showtime.
Get him!
Stay out of the way, won't you?
C'MON AND SHOOT! SHAKE HANDS!
SHOOTING STRIKE FIRE!
Episode 1
The Ring-Bearing Wizard
Hey, Koyomi. I dealt with the ghouls, but the Phantom got away.
Can you figure out where it went?
I'll need more than just Garu, Haruto.
You should send out some more familiars.
You realize using all this magic wears a guy out?
Of course I do. But there's no other way.
All right, but that's easy for her to say.
LUPACCHI MAGIC, TOUCH TO GO
UNICORN, PLEASE
KRAKEN, PLEASE
It should still be around somewhere. Good luck!
Are you... really a wizard?
Pretty much.
I'm with the Toriisaka Metro Police, the name's Daimon Rinko.
What do you know about that monster?
You mean the Phantom?
It's called a Phantom?
There are people in the world with magical potential, known as Gates.
Creatures of pure magic who are born by killing those Gates, from the inside out...
Those are Phantoms.
Master Phoenix.
You mind explaining how you managed to screw up so badly, after making all that noise with those ghouls?
Huh?
A magic-user appeared and ruined my plans...
Wizard, eh?
Mistress Medusa.
Our mission as Phantoms is to make the Gates lose all hope, so that new Phantoms can be born.
So that Wiseman will once again hold the sabbat.
I understand.
If you do, then forget about the magic clown and get to work on the Gate already!
Sir!
So if Phantoms target Gates, does that mean one of those workers was a Gate?
Probably.
Hang on!
How can you use magic anyway?
Because I've got a Phantom inside of me, too.
...What was that for?
What's the matter, Koyomi?
Haruto got arrested by the police.
Wha... What?!
Come on, Rinko...
Are you seriously going to arrest me out of the blue like this?
I can tell how dangerous you are.
Whoa... Really?
I have to say... As a man, that's a bit flattering.
Now then, Mr. Souma Haruto.
I'd like to question you regarding these Phantoms again.
Oh, come on, Rinko darling.
Don't you talk to me like that!
Are you seriously going to go after the Phantom?
Of course I am! Protecting the public is my duty as a policewoman.
You can't touch them without magic, you know.
So what?
You want me to give up?!
As a police officer, I'm just supposed to give up any hope I have of protecting people from this kind of threat?!
It must be nice, being able to use magic.
If you can cast a spell to do anything, you don't ever have to give up hope.
I...
I...!
Magic isn't what's giving me hope.
What?
I have magic because I held on in the face of despair.
What? I have no idea what you're talking about.
Fine, then.
I'll close this case, with or without magic.
I'm not giving up yet.
Fair enough.
But if you do end up losing everything else...
I'll be there to bring you hope.
What's that supposed to mean?!
Daimon. Got a second?
Be quiet and stay there!
Well... now what do I do...?
You want me to drop the case?!
Are we going to pretend like nothing happened?!
Exactly. The police aren't equipped to deal with something like this.
I realize we're talking about monsters maybe even more powerful than we can comprehend.
Even so—
Regardless, I don't want you pursuing this case.
Why?! Are we just supposed to let those monsters run free?!
Aren't the police supposed to protect people?
These are orders all the way from the top!
What?
She's the one who caught Haruto...
Wait, Daimon!
Oh yeah, I wasn't done eating...
CONNECT, PLEASE
Oh, Unicorn.
Good timing. Care for a bite?
I understand how you feel.
But... you do realize we can't handle those monsters, right?
Give it up.
You're giving up too?!
I joined the police because I wanted to protect people.
How can I live with myself if I don't see this case through?!
Why are you so hung up on these ideals about duty?
I became a cop because of my father's influence...
He was stationed out in the country.
He worked so hard to keep his jurisdiction safe that everyone loved him...
Daddy!
Hey, Rinko!
I wanted to protect people, just like my father did.
I became a detective to do that, but...
I see.
So that's what keeps you going.
What are you doing?!
The detective with the bandaged head is the Phantom
Then that means...
Rinko's the Gate.
Gotta put this away again.
SMALL, PLEASE
You're a Phantom, Amino?!
How?
Amino died of despair.
And gave birth to a Phantom... me.
No...
There's not a thing that you can do to stop us.
Now give into despair, and bring forth a new Phantom!
The ring-bearing wizard!
So you really were after Rinko.
Take care of her.
I'm too busy to play with you.
Yeah, well, same here.
DRIVER ON, PLEASE
So I'll make this quick.
SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO TRANSFORM

The finale...
VERY NICE! KICK STRIKE!
FABULOUS!
Haruto!
Do something or else there's going to be a new Phantom!
I'm never going to let that happen again.
Rinko.
The... wizard?
I don't think... I'm going to make it...
Don't give up. I'll make it all better.
I'll be there to bring you hope.
You're one... weird wizard...
I promised. I'll bring you the hope you need.
ENGAGE, PLEASE
Daddy!
So this is her spiritual landscape... Her Underworld.
Hell of a magical apparition she's got there.
Haruto...
LUPACCHI MAGIC, TOUCH TO GO
Well, a promise is a promise.
DRAGORISE, PLEASE
Dragon! Submit to me!
CONNECT, PLEASE
C'MON AND SLASH! SHAKE HANDS!
FLAME SLASH STRIKE!
FIRE FIRE FIRE! FIRE FIRE FIRE!
Is it over?
Yeah. She's not a Gate anymore.
She's safe now.
Hope, he said...
Next time on Kamen Rider Wizard.
You're still hunting Phantoms?
These incidents are under our jurisdiction.
You have gained magical potential.
I want to learn how to use magic too!
It's showtime.
