Wajima is forced to make a ring,
and a boy named Naoki has his identity as a Gate hidden from him by the same NSA Agent, Kizaki.
His continued refusals to share information are found to be suspicious by Haruto and the others.
Are you alright, Mr. Kizaki?!
Yeah. Take him with you.
Right.
Hang on! I need to have a word with him.
Why'd you run off?
I'm sorry.
I just wanted to see where my father died.
Is this it? The place where he died?
What are you doing? Get him out of here!
Right!
Hang on a second! I'm not done talking to—
There's nothing to talk about.
We'll take full responsibility for his safety.
I can't trust him with a monster like you for too long.
The Wizard Rings contain magical power.
There is a man, a modern-day magic-user,
who wields their power with both his hands,
so that despair may become hope.

Episode 11
A Promise to Protect
I"m just having trouble getting into it...
Y'know, you can't just force art...
Spare me your nonsense!
I apologize.
But we absolutely need the power of magic to counter the Phantoms.
We need a ring at any cost.
I see.
Well, even if you need it, just getting a ring might not help you.
What?!
Using the ring's power is a matter of what's in your heart.
To get to it in the first place, you have to be prepared for it.
So you're saying we aren't fit to use a ring.
Well, I didn't say that.
The point is, to make these rings do anything, it takes a wizard.
What?
Yep. You heard.
Come on in.
Everything's ready.
Look.
There's Naoki.
They're moving him somewhere?
Keep your head down.
Leave the rest to me.
Make sure they don't notice you're following them.
Right.
Hey, they're leaving!
And the wizard's with them. Just what I need.
You gonna be okay, Gargoyle?
'Cuz if you get your butt kicked again, you'll be in big trouble.
I'll figure something out.
Hold it.
What? You come up with a plan?
Oh yes...
We'll have to make sure we get the drop on them this time.
This is a Phantom we're dealing with.
There's no telling exactly how he'll be coming after us.
Stay on your toes.
Yes, sir!
Come on.
We'll have you waiting here until the boat is ready to leave Tokyo.
We'll keep things under control.
They're here!
Don't let them through!
Right!
We're running!
Hurry!
Run for it!
Run...!
You okay?
You're looking in good shape, wizard.
You... I thought I beat you!
Tough luck.
Because I'm Phoenix, the immortal Phantom who rises from the ashes.
Immortal?
Are you serious?
WATER
Looks like he had you fooled.
What?!
I wanted to mess with you some more, but enough's enough.
Next time we meet, I'm gonna finally crush that stupid shiny head!
Be prepared to lose!
Phoenix...
An immortal Phantom, huh?
Kizaki!
You okay?
Yeah... It looks like we were able to keep them fooled.
Check on the warehouse...
Right!
Hey... What's with the decoy?
It was to protect Naoki.
That doesn't mean you should risk somebody else's life, man.
I will risk whatever it takes to protect Naoki!
Even my own life... I have to keep him safe...
Why go so far?
Because I made a promise.
What promise?
Katayama and I were investigating a string of disappearances last year.
Kizaki.
Yes?
Take a look at this.
What is it?
A magic stone.
Magic stone?
I don't fully understand myself, but I think this could be an important piece of evidence.
He had found a magic stone during the investigation, and it led him all the way to the Phantoms.
There!
Gargoyle, you're up.
That's a Phantom?
Yessir. If the two of you came all the way down here, then...
We've found the next Gate.
Katayama Naoki. He's attending Seinan High School.
That name...
Do you think they mean your son?
What do you think a Gate is?
Kill the Gate, so that a new Phantom may be born.
Have fun.
Yessir!
You can count on me.
Kizaki, I need a favor.
Take Naoki into protective custody, as soon as possible.
I'm going to slow him down.
Wait a minute! Let's think this through!
My son is in danger! I don't have time to think!
Katayama!
Listen. No matter what happens to me, don't look back!
You keep Naoki safe!
But sir...
Get moving!
By the time I made it back, it was too late.
But because of the time he bought us, I was able to get Naoki to safety.
So, at least there's that...
Naoki doesn't know, does he?
Naoki's a naive kid...
He'll just feel even worse if he thinks it's his fault his dad died.
So I decided I'd never tell him.
No matter what he says.
Naoki?!
I knew it.
That was pretty sneaky, using a decoy like that.
Gargoyle.
Phoenix is keeping the wizard occupied.
Take your time, and enjoy the despair as it seizes him.
Yes ma'am!
The Phantom!
The Phantom's found Naoki?!
Got it!
This can't be...
I'll take care of it.
Wait!
Please... Take me with you.
Guys, please!
What are these things?!
This way!
Over here!
Gotta clear out everyone in my way!
Stop it! I thought you were after me?!
Then leave other people alone!
You're really gutsy, just like your old man.
Last time I went after you, he charged right at me.
No... You killed my dad?!
Oh yeah. He was desperate to save you.
Stop it!
What? Move it!
I won't let you touch Naoki!
I'm going to protect my son!
You're pretty stubborn.
Dad... For me...?
Basically, your old man died and it was all your fault!
That can't...
Nice!
Now, fall down into that despair!
Naoki...
That was faster than I hoped...
Well, I was just dying to see you again.
Haruto...
Sorry for the wait.
You didn't quite make it in time!
Now I just have to beat you!
We'll see about that.
DRIVER ON
SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO TRANSFORM
Transform.
FLAME, PLEASE
FIRE FIRE, FIRE FIRE FIRE!
It's showtime!
Naoki! Are you okay?!
Naoki!
Come on... Hang in there!
Hey!
I didn't know anything...
And Dad died, because of me...
Did the Phantom tell you?!
I... I...
No... You can't give up hope!
Don't make your dad's death in vain!
Agent Kizaki...
Haruto! We're running out of time!
Sorry, but I need to wrap this up.
FLAME DRAGON
BURN... BURN... BURN BURN BURN!
CONNECT, PLEASE
You fell for it.
COPY, PLEASE
Funny what happens, when you shoot the exact same spot enough times.
VERY NICE! SPECIAL!
FABULOUS!
The finale.
No... Naoki's Phantom is going to...
Easy there. I'm still here.
Please...
Right.
I promise.
I'm the hope you need.
Haruto...
ENGAGE, PLEASE
Naoki, tighten up your stance a little.
So this is Naoki's Underworld...
And that's the embodiment of mana born from Naoki's despair!
Let's go... Dragon!
I made a promise too. We're taking that thing down, before it can escape into reality!
I'm not going to let you wreck Naoki's mind any more!
The finale.
LUPACCHI MAGIC, TOUCH TO GO
VERY NICE! KICK STRIKE!
FABULOUS!
Haruto.
Naoki's not a Gate anymore.
So he won't be targeted again.
I brought more wine.
Those flowers...
It was you all along, huh?
I'm really sorry I blamed you!
Haruto told me the truth.
I can't believe that man...
I was shocked about what happened to Dad, but...
Since Haruto saved me, I think I have hope again.
Hope?
I... want to join the National Security Agency.
I want to protect people!
Just like my dad... and like you.
I'm back!
Wajima's back on the job!
Ta-da!
Welcome back
Welcome back!
Welcome back, sir!
Thank you, thank you.
I made this overnight.
Well, that's very impressive.
Can I eat yet?
Not yet.
And... I brought a present.
It seems that they wanted my help to make this into a ring.
A magic stone!
I'm amazed they let you have it.
Well, you're the only one who can use their power, anyway.
So does that mean... that Agent Kizaki trusts Haruto now?
Does it?
I guess he's not so bad after all...
Wonder what the ring's going to be this time.
Alright, let's eat!
Thank you!
Next time on Kamen Rider Wizard...
As your assistant, it's time for me to take it to the next level!
Would you mind giving into despair and giving birth to a new Phantom, please?
Let's hold on to hope!
Perfect timing. I wanted to try this out anyway.
It's showtime.
