An old classmate of Shunpei's, Tetsuya, is attacked by a Phantom.
But the Phantom's true target was a delivery of sweets carried by Tetsuya...
Because the chef who created them, Matsuki, is the actual Gate.
VERY NICE! THUNDER!
FABULOUS!
Ring-bearing magician! I invite you to attack, if you dare!
Safe...
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 13
Inheriting the Dream
Haruto... Did you know that the owner was actually the Gate?
Yeah. It was just a hunch.
I noticed the Phantom left without actually attacking Tetsuya.
That long ago?
You mean the Phantom was attacking the sweets, not Tetsuya?
Yeah.
And then he made that huge order, as part of his plan...
So he could drive the shop out of business.
Boss, I'm sorry! I was the one who said to take the job.
No, Tetsuya!
I was the one who was tricked by the Phantom! I'm sorry!
You don't need to apologize.
It's not your fault...
Without the orders from the restaurant coming in...
I'm gonna have to sell the shop.
All right.
If I'm gonna sell the place, I've got a lot to do.
Hey, hang on a second!
Where are you going?
Shop's not gonna close itself.
Could you hang around here for a bit longer?
The Phantom's still going to be after you!
It's okay, Haruto will protect you.
Tetsuya, go get rid of the rest of our inventory before it goes bad.
Yes, sir.
Hey, Valkyrie!
I thought you had the Gate on the ropes!
And yet, here's your ass with nothing to show for it!
I understand you're upset, I really do!
If it weren't for the wizard, I would be introducing a new Phantom to you right now...
Then get back to work!
Now, now...
It's only a matter of time until the Gate's business closes down.
All I need to do is wait for him to lose hope.
I'm not so sure about that.
What makes you say that?
If that store closing would have made him despair,
then he would've given up as soon as he realized your deal was fake.
Makes sense!
Something else is supporting him.
Just one thing keeping it all from collapsing...
You want to go out?
Yeah. You can keep me safe, right?
It's not that simple!
Aw, come on...
Is it something we have to do right now?
Can it wait until after I beat the Phantom?
The sooner, the better.
So it's worth risking your life for?
Yeah.
But—
Got it. I'll keep you safe.
I thought you'd been quiet lately.
I'm trying to level up as an assistant, but I'm just holding him back.
What do I even say to him?
Don't let it bug you! Everyone has a bad day sometimes.
It's not like Haruto's mentioned it, right?
That's true. He hasn't said a word.
So he doesn't even care if I'm there or not.
I don't blame him. Who needs a useless assistant?
Then... you just have to become useful, right?
Haruto acts strong, but lately, I've been wondering how close he is to getting overwhelmed...
Haruto?
Since he's the only one who can fight the Phantoms...
I want to be there to support him.
That's what I think.
You want me to hire your apprentice?
It'd be a shame to see him out of a job because I couldn't keep the place going, y'know?
If he was working here, I could rest easy.
Please.
Chief. Could you come here please?
I'll be right there.
Have him whip something up and bring it here.
If he's got potential, then I'll bring him on.
You can't give up yet!
It's the boss' call to make.
There's nothing else we can do...
What do you want me to do?!
There has to be something!
Maybe we can't magically fix everything at once.
But we can do something to save a little bit of hope!
So making sure your apprentice still had work is worth risking your life for?
What about you?
Eh, I'm fine. I've worked enough.
Once Tetsuya becomes a proper chef,
if he still has a bit of my training showing through his works, then that's fine by me.
So that's why you didn't lose hope when you realized your shop was shutting down.
No wonder you were willing to take the risk of going out...
Someday, you'll know what it's like.
You know, that Shunpei kid... the goofball?
Oh, he's not really my apprentice or anything.
And I'd rather not have anyone need to follow in my footsteps...
Haruto!
That woman... She's the Phantom I told you about before!
She heard us!
Aw, crap.
Hang on, miss.
I'm afraid you've gone far enough.
I'll use force if I have to.
For you to challenge me...
Fool.
Transform!
SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO TRANSFORM
LAND, PLEASE E-E-E-E-EARTH EARTH E-E-EARTH!
You'll regret this, ring-bearing magician.
DEFEND, PLEASE
Yeah, she's definitely not a run-of-the-mill Phantom...
None of your magic will work against me.
I wouldn't be too sure about that!
WATER, PLEASE
WATER WATER WATER WATER~
So this is how you drained Koyomi's mana...
LIQUID, PLEASE
What?
I've got some tricks up my sleeve.
I can see how you were able to beat Phoenix.
But I don't have time to play any longer.
Now, stay and watch the Gate lose hope...
Haruto!
You have to tell me where Tetsuya would likely be.
They're going after him!
Please! Think it over again!
I've already made arrangements to get my sweets from a different place.
Please, reconsider!
N-Now, please, that's quite enough...
You're making a scene!
I'm begging you!
Please keep buying from the Matsuki shop!
Their sweets are delicious! And beautiful! And amazing!
Hey! Give it a rest!
Wait, please wait!
Go home!
Please, just hear me out!
Please!
Ma'am?
Please!
Do you get it now?
There's nothing else we can do.
Tetsuya...
Why are you trying so hard, anyway?
It's got nothing to do with you.
My dream was to be a wizard.
I wanted to use magic to help people.
And that'll probably never happen now...
But... Haruto was willing to take up my dream.
Haruto's my hope.
So I want to help however I can.
Please! Buy from the Matsuki shop again!
Please! Ma'am, just hear me out!
Please!
Shunpei...
Thanks.
Tetsuya!
What a relief! You're alright...
What're you doing, kid?
Just watch.
It's done.
Hope...
Boss... Have one.
Good. I'd even put these out for sale.
Thank you, sir.
Boss. I'm going to keep training, so that I can keep your recipes alive...
That way, even if the store's gone, I can succeed you.
Tetsuya, take these to the Bairindo right now.
I asked them to hire you.
And these manju are gonna be your resume.
Boss...
You're the only one who can follow in my footsteps, so let me at least set you up.
I'm looking forward to seeing you become a real chef.
Yes, sir.
I'll be your hope.
It reminds me of you, Haruto...
Let me handle that dream for you.
Haruto...
I promise.
I'll bring you the hope you need.
That's right...
Guess I'm the one walking in someone else's footsteps.
Then I'd better do a good job...
I'm very sorry to interrupt.
The Phantom!
Koyomi...
Oh my, still making manju?
Let me help you dispose of them.
And your apprentice, while I'm here.
Take the manju and get going!
I'll make sure your hope stays safe.
Come on!
Transform.
SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO TRANSFORM
FLAME, PLEASE
FIRE FIRE, FIRE FIRE FIRE!
Boss!
Get going!
Tetsuya, just go! Get a move on!
Ma'am!
Is that...
You won't leave well alone!
Wait!
HURRICANE, PLEASE
AIR, AIR! AIR, AIR, AIR AIR!
Once you're gone, the Gate will give into despair.
And I'll finally meet my quota!
Stay behind me!
The manju!
When'd I...?
Hold on tight this time!
Thanks.
Shunpei!
The manju's safe!
Nice job, Shunpei.
You saved the day.
Haruto...
I'll handle the rest.
You take care of Tetsuya and the last Hope.
Right!
Let's go.
I think not!
HURRICANE DRAGON
BLOW, BLOW, BLOW BLOW BLOW BLOW!
Stop right there!
Enough playing tag.
VERY NICE! SPECIAL!
FABULOUS!
Amazing...
You can fly too?!
It's showtime.
You won't escape this time!
SMALL, PLEASE
The finale.
VERY NICE! THUNDER!
FABULOUS!
I...!
Sorry about all this. You even begged for me.
No, I'm the one who's sorry!
I wasn't able to help at all.
That's not true, man.
I was only able to make that Hope manju and understand how my boss felt because of you.
...How? Did I do something?
Of course you did! You protected the manju, didn't you?
You did great.
Oh yeah! Why were you fighting to protect those manju anyway?
...You jumped into a fountain without knowing why?
Well... My body just kinda... moved on its own?
I'll be counting on my wizard's assistant from here on out.
You did it!
I did! I did!
I did it!
I actually did it!
Next time, on Kamen Rider Wizard...
I welcome you to the brink of despair...
Film is my life!
You'll pay for costing us so many Gates!
You're... from before...!
It's showtime.
