Due to his unwillingness to accept a wizard's help, an independent investigation into Phantoms is launched
by Agent Kizaki of the metropolitan police's National Security Agency.
But after seeing Haruto protect a former co-worker's son, Naoki,
he relinquishes possession of a magic stone.
All done.
Thank you!
That was fast, as usual.
Haruto, that ring...
It does look similar.
Is this another ring that'll let me use Dragon's power?
Not only that, but this time... I made two!
What's up with that? Being pretty generous, old timer.
I just heard the stone talking to me. And it said, "Make two."
Amazing! It's like Haruto's gained two new levels at once!
Well, time to head out with my trusty new magic.
Looking for Phantoms?
Good luck! Be careful.
Right.
Wait a minute, I'll come with you!
Ow!
Are you being even more over-excited than usual?
I've decided to level up myself as well, as your assistant!
I can not believe you!
You're terrible!
That's gotta suck.
Did you just try to make him lose hope?
Who are you?
Tell me! Are you a Phantom?
Sorry! He thought you were someone else.
I think he's running a fever, too...
Haruto, my shoulder...
Shoulder?
It's better!
Did a Phantom do this to you?!
Don't give into despair! You gotta hold on to hope!
My little You! What are you doing to my son?!
The name's Nara Shunpei!
I swear, he's not trying to be creepy.
Tell the lady you're sorry!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
That's pretty suspicious...
I'm sure this time!
I have you now, Phantom!
Huh...?
Excuse me.
That takoyaki looks tasty!
Quit running off on wild Phantom chases.
I'm sorry.
You're going to tip off the Phantoms, making this much noise.
You're off for the day. Go back and chill out.
Haruto...
He's late...
Hello, hello there! Terribly sorry for the delay.
What the hell took you, Valkyrie?
So sorry! There was a delay with my human employer.
He was raising a fuss, so I... adjusted his jaw.
Awesome!
But don't overdo it.
Remember, your other boss is plenty scary herself.
Valkyrie.
Yes, ma'am?
I've got a job for you.
Yes, yes, certainly...
I'd be happy to help, Mistress Medusa...
I've found a Gate who's ripe for your particular approach.
Make them despair so that a new Phantom can be born.
Understood.
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 12
The Sweets of Hope
I'm so useless...
Hey, Shunpei!
Tetsuya?
It really is you!
It's been a long time, man.
Yeah, haven't seen you since you graduated!
I'm working here now, as an apprentice.
Here at... a sweets shop?
The boss is a real genius, and he makes amazing stuff.
I really want to help him out, so right now I'm learning the ropes.
That's amazing...
Hey, Tetsuya!
Yes, sir!
Wanna take a look?
Sure!
Here we are.
This is amazing.
Awesome!
This is so great...
They're really beautiful.
Where the hell did you run off to, right when the bean paste's being mixed?
Sorry about that, sir!
Right!
You've got a hundred years to go before you can call yourself a sweetsmaker!
So strict!
Oh, sorry!
Here's your usual plain sugar.
I'll bring your change in a sec.
Sure.
Here you go. Care to try our new Viva Italiana?
Sure don't!
I wanna have some donuts!
Oh my, Saya, we're going to buy some manju.
But I like donuts better than manju!
Oh, alright then.
Yay!
Welcome!
Here's your change.
If they were headed in that direction for manju, it might've been for the Matsuki shop.
Is that place famous or something?
Not exactly, but their stuff's delicious.
It's not much of a hit with the young ones, though.
Young, you say...
Excuse me? Are you saying I'm not young?
No...
Honestly! You're such a meanie, Haru!
Hang on, you're the one who said it...
Wow, you do deliveries, too?
Yeah, to a nearby restaurant.
They order from us every day, one of our regular customers.
Boss, I'm heading out!
I'm leaving too!
Hey!
Have a bite.
I'm so sorry to bother you.
Oh, come now, I'm up here.
It's nice to meet you.
Got one.
Hey, your donut!
Get to work! Come on now, back to work!
I'm so sorry to have startled you, sir.
This won't take long. It'll be over before you know it.
Now then... If you'll excuse me.
You okay?
Matsuki? You're from the sweets shop?
The ring-bearing wizard!
SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO TRANSFORM
Transform!
FLAME, PLEASE
FIRE FIRE, FIRE FIRE FIRE!
If you're looking for a snack, I hear they sell them at stores now.
Thank you for the advice!
SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO TRANSFORM
LAND, PLEASE
E-E-E-E-EARTH EARTH E-E-EARTH!
Well, I've met my quota for today, so I'll withdraw for now.
DEFEND, PLEASE
He got away.
You were attacked by a monster and that's how the order was ruined?!
I'm really sorry!
I would understand if you had lost it, but this monster story?
Even a child wouldn't believe such nonsense.
Stop making excuses and explain what happened!
It's not an excuse!
I know it's hard to believe, but it's the truth.
Of course it's hard to believe!
But...
Shut up, Tetsuya!
Boss...
Shunpei?
He's an old friend of mine. I heard about him being attacked, so...
I'm sorry for the trouble my employee caused.
I've contacted a Bairindou store to replace today's order.
It should be here in twenty minutes.
Twenty minutes...
That should make it in time for lunch, at least.
And of course, we'll fully reimburse you.
I am truly sorry for what happened to your order.
I'm afraid that our arrangement ends today, Mr. Matsuki.
You can't!
Hang on!
...And so, the Phantoms targeted him because he's a Gate!
It's not his fault! Right, Haruto?
That Phantom left without putting up much of a fight...
Come on! Don't just stand there, say something!
About what?
I'm trying to explain that Tetsuya wasn't lying...
It doesn't matter if he's lying or not!
When you accept a job, you guarantee it with your life.
That's why people trust professionals...
And we lost that trust today.
That's all there is to it.
But right now, their orders make up over half of what we sell!
The store's going to...
Tetsuya! Don't give up! There's still hope!
Hope? How?
I...
I know! We just have to make sure you guys still sell, even more than before!
Haruto, look after Tetsuya for me!
Okay.
Mr. Wajima, Koyomi.
Would you like to buy some sweets?!
We've got manju, ohagi, and lots of other stuff that looks good, all perfect for afternoon snacks!
That comes to 20,250 yen!
That's expensive!
Also, this one's on the house!
Thanks... Hey, wait!
Fubuki manju, brown sugar manju, another fubuki manju...
How about you, Rinko?
What the...
I don't want any of this!
It's to save the Gate. Do your part!
Oh, wow! You're selling sweets?
Oh, those look good!
Come on up...
Are you paying, Miss Daimon?!
Oh, come on!
Cut it out already!
How about a daifuku instead?
And a domyoji for your boyfriend. That'll be 200 yen each!
Care for a bean daifuku, or a chestnut manju?
How about some tea manju for Mister Octopus?
It'll be two hundred yen!
Hello, this is the Matsuki Shop.
Oh, Mr. Yama, sorry...
I'll have something figured out by next month...
That's the guy who supplies our red beans.
We've been having to put our orders on a tab for a while...
Is this place really in that bad shape?
If we don't get out of the red soon, the boss might have to sell this place...
I understand. Sorry...
Care for some sweets? Tasty sweets here...
I'd like a manju, please.
This is...!
Yes... Yes!
Magnificent!
I've never tasted such a delicious manju before!
Thank you very much!
Feel free to have another!
I'd be glad to!
Though, how does 500 a day sound?
Sure...
Five hundred a day?!
Precisely!
I am Kiritani, the manager of the Japanese sweets department for the Narushima line of shopping centers.
I'd like to feature a special original manju flavor from the Matsuki shop in our daily special corner.
For six months, starting tomorrow.
Five hundred orders a day, for six months?!
See?! Awesome, right?
More like too good to be true.
Are you sure?
He's right! We can't turn out that kind of order out of nowhere.
It's okay! Your shop's manju is number one in Japan— no, in the world!
I can sell-through everything you can get me.
Please... Please take the order!
Boss, let's take the job!
Come on, kid...
With the restaurant not ordering anymore, we can't let this slip by!
Let's do it, and keep this place going!
You're right...
Okay, Tetsuya! We're gonna whip up a new type of manju.
Right!
Hey, turn the heat up.
Yes, sir!
Don't do it like the regular kind. Make it thinner.
Right!
Is it done?!
Yeah... Have a bite.
Thank you!
Well?
Yeah, it's great!
This is delicious!
Alright!
You did it! I know this will sell!
Boss! We've gotta come up with a name for it!
I've already got one in mind.
"Hope".
Hope?
Tetsuya, we need to whip up five hundred pieces of hope for tomorrow.
Right!
Hope, huh?
Sounds like a good name to me!
I feel like I was finally able to help Haruto for real!
Shunpei, take over for me.
On it!
Haruto, look after Tetsuya.
Right.
Hey, get a move on!
Okay!
KRAKEN, PLEASE
Stay with the van.
What do you mean, you didn't order them?!
From the Matsuki shop, right?
Five hundred manju... Yeah, it's not on the list.
I haven't heard anything about it.
Hang on a second!
That can't be right!
We took the order, yesterday!
Call Kiritani. The one in charge of the Japanese sweets!
Unfortunately... He's on a leave of absence.
I'm afraid he lost his hope some time ago and is... no longer with us.
So you're...
Allow me to formally introduce myself: I am the Phantom Valkyrie.
Then that order of five hundred manju a day...
A falsehood.
You should have known such luck simply does not exist.
You mean to say we were tricked...
And the manju we made were all a waste...?!
Your expression is truly priceless, Mr. Matsuki.
Now, please give into despair, and give birth to a new Phantom.
Haruto!
Let's run!
Hurry!
You won't escape that easily!
You have no hope left.
So the boss was actually the Gate.
You are causing a nuisance. My associates will attend to you.
Shunpei! Get him out of here.

Here's something extra.
VERY NICE! THUNDER!
FABULOUS!
Nice one, Dragon!
A thundering success.
Ring-bearing magician! I invite you to attack, if you dare!
Shunpei!
Haruto!
Next time on Kamen Rider Wizard...
No one needs me here anyway.
You were a fool to challenge me.
I'll protect both your wishes!
Shunpei!
