The last hope of those whom Phantoms seek to drag into despair...
The magic-weaving warrior, Wizard.
With his magic rings, his battle to protect our hopes continues.
Good morning.
What's wrong?
I feel... like I'm going to burst...
Was it a Phantom?!
Hey! Hang in there!
He just ate too much.
He ate too much mochi this morning. Here.
What?!
Don't scare me like that!
It really does hurt, though!
Please, Haruto...
Could you cast a spell to make it better?
You can't Alakazam injuries and sickness away, you know.
Aw, really?
But my picture book said ancient magic could cure anything...
Here, take this medicine. Go on.
Sorry...
Thank you.
What is wrong with you?!
Don't wipe it on my coat!
You're being awfully well behaved.
Not really.
Well, I don't blame you. Not after a second beating from Wizard...
Shut up.
Oh no... oh man!
That man...
Is he a Gate?
Well, isn't that interesting...
Wiseman!
I'd like to see what's hiding within him.
Leave it to me.
Actually, I brought the perfect man for the job.
I suppose I should get to work, then.
I'm going to starve at this rate...
But danger and opportunity are two sides of the same coin!
It's when the chips are down that fortune is bound to shine!
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 17
Another Wizard
Delicious...!
Unbelievable. After all that whining...
I felt better after taking that medicine.
Huh? I think this is expired...
Here you go. Would you like ketchup and mustard?
Mayonnaise?
Exactly.
Time to eat!
Oh yeah! Oh, this is perfect.
Well, enjoy...
Want to try?
It's really good!
You okay? I'll take care of this, so get to safety.
Are you the ring-bearing wizard?
You're a wizard?
Pretty much.
SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO TRANSFORM
Transform!
FLAME, PLEASE
FIRE FIRE, FIRE FIRE FIRE!
Get him!
It's showtime—
Hold it!
What?!
Don't you play dumb!
What's the big idea?
Isn't it obvious?! I'm talking about my meal!
Sorry, I'll pay for your next one. Just stay back.
H-hey! Wait a minute!
I said hold on!
Are you okay?
We need to run!
Haruto!
Take care of him!
But my meal!
It's just you and me now.
LAND, PLEASE
E-E-E-E-EARTH EARTH E-E-EARTH!
DEFEND, PLEASE
The talk of you getting stronger seems to be true!
Yeah, sorry about that.
Wait!
Haven't you ever been told not to let your guard down?
What's... going on...
I expected as much from a wizard's resilience...
It seems my venom won't kill you immediately.
Venom?
Since we're here, I shall predict your chances of survival.
Ah, Death itself...
How unfortunate.
I'm afraid you are due for a terrible, hopeless death.
Wait...!
Haruto!
What's the matter with you people?
Can't a guy eat without a small army getting on his case?
Excuse me? Did you intend to eat while being attacked or something?
Attacked? Me?! When?
He asks "When?"...
Those monsters were clearly attacking you, and Haruto saved you.
Haruto? That's the wizard?
He didn't save me!
He interrupted my meal!
It's just one meal. No need to get so...
Shut it! My life's on the line here!
Why did you let Wizard survive?
You will find I have done no such thing.
The ring-bearing wizard will die in excruciating pain.
You seem pretty confident about that.
But that guy's pretty tough.
In that case, Master Phoenix, I leave him in your capable hands.
In his poisoned state, even you should be able to deal with him.
What was that?!
I see, the Fool...
Master Phoenix, your careless mistakes will lead down the path of self-destruction. See?
Why, you...
Stop.
Now, I should find that man who escaped and finish my business with him...
All in Wiseman's name.
Here you go!
Our newest specialty, Winter Strawberry Crullers!
That looks delicious!
Enjoy.
Can I have one?
My treat.
Eat to your heart's content!
You're a pretty nice guy!
You're too kind...
What do you mean, your treat? I paid!
Oh yes, this is good! Would you guys like to try?
Uh, no...
Don't be shy, now!
Eat up! Hey, bring more donuts!
Coming right up!
Thanks!
Now you're ordering more?
-Here you go! -Thanks.
What are you doing?
Keep that weird goop off my donuts!
It's not weird! It's mayonnaise!
It's weird! No matter how you slice it, that's weird!
You just don't get it.
Mayonnaise is the greatest food in the world!
Just try some.
Ow ow ow...!
Hey you two, what is with him?!
I'm not totally sure...
So good!
Hey manager... this is actually good!
This might work!
Right?
Here, Shunpei!
I still might starve though...
Thanks for the snack.
H-hey, wait!
Wait a minute!
Koyomi, what's wrong?
Haruto's what?
Haruto!
Where are we...?
The antique store.
I heard you were poisoned.
Let my guard down...
Hey, Haruto!
You need to get some rest.
Where's the Gate?
I'm sorry. When Koyomi called us, he got away.
Garu and the others are looking for him now.
Okay...
I need to get some real sustenance soon.
One moment there, sir.
Thanks for the free fortune.
Oh, no. You've caught my curiosity, actually.
This is...
Wait! Don't say it!
Something I hide inside is going to put my life at risk, right?
Yes...
Very impressive.
It says your fate seems desperate...
I knew it!
You're a good fortune teller. You really have me figured out.
But you don't seem to be in despair at all.
Is there something that is giving you strength?
Giving me strength?
Yes...
If there is, could you perhaps share it with me?
I found him!
Take a look, here!
He seems to be all right.
Oh no... the Phantom's with him!
Haruto!
You can't go now!
I'm not gonna get any better just lying here.
I need to do something while I still have the strength to move.
But...
I'm the only one who can fight the Phantoms.
Wait!
I'll go too!
Haruto...
So what I'm saying is that, danger is opportunity! You know what I mean?
When you're really up against the rope is when you have the brightest inspiration,
and when you're really feeling down is when you can see the world most clearly.
I think, since you're a fortune teller,
you could probably do some good by sharing that kind of advice with people!
I see... that may be helpful indeed.
So...
So?
I wanted to know what gives you strength.
Dude, you are such a good guy!
You're trying so hard to help a total stranger like me!
There's a reason for that...
Oh, no, it's nothing...
But you don't have to worry about me.
What?
I already told you. As far as I'm concerned, danger is opportunity.
Which means that despair is the same as hope.
That's impossible!
Think harder, about your deepest feelings!
Enough!
This is bordering on an invasion of privacy.
You again!
So, Mr. Phantom.
Why don't you show us your true colors already?
A Phantom?
So you're still alive, wizard...
I'd appreciate it if you didn't meddle.
Danger just turned into opportunity!
You okay?
Man, you always butt in right at the good part!
Well, I am a wizard.
Yeah, I got that!
But I wanna know why you're always interrupting my meals!
I already apologized for that!
I'm talking to you here!
- Transform! - Don't do that!
ERROR
That poison drained all my mana...
Move!
Where'd...?
- Haruto! - Haruto!
This fight was over the instant my venom entered your veins.
There they are!
DRIVER ON
Is he...
Transform!
SET
OPEN
L I O N
LION
My name is Nitou Kousuke.
Beast, the wizard!
A wizard?
He wasn't a Gate...
The primitive wizard, eh?
Then the Magician card... that's what it really meant.
Time to eat.
Roar!
It's an all-I-can-eat buffet!
He's consuming their mana!
Alright! You're next!
CHAMELEO
GO! C-C-C-CHAMELEO
He vanished!
Where is he!
Now hold still while I eat you.
Hup!
Watch out! His tail can poison you!
Poison?
Aw, that'll be a piece of cake.
I just said to watch out...
Now, you will suffer as he does...
Gonna have to try harder than that!
DOLPHI
GO! D-D-D-D-DOLPHI
I see...
So he poisoned you too, huh?
Oh well. I'm using it anyway.
The poison's gone!
It's healing magic.
Man, I just helped out my rival! I am so awesome.
"My venom didn't work? How could this be?!"
Were you about to say that?
Now let's finish with this one.
FALCO
GO! F-F-F-FALCO
And now the main dish!
SIX
FALCO SABER STRIKE
Roar!
Delicious!
You...
Did you just eat the Phantom's mana?
Yeah! So do you, right?
Don't play dumb.
Just because we're rivals doesn't mean you need to keep secrets! It's uncool.
Rival? When did I—
Wait! Don't say it!
I know exactly how you feel.
Underneath that cool guy act, you're totally stressed out.
You're worried I'm going to horn in on your action!
No, I seriously don't care—
But look, I found that Phantom first.
So of course I get to eat him!
Okay.
Now, I got to eat him this time, so I'll let you off easy.
But I'm not gonna stand for you trying to mooch another meal from me!
Got it?
What was that all about?
That wizard...
I don't get him at all.
Next time, on Kamen Rider Wizard...
Outta my way, Mayo!
You're trying to interrupt my meal again, aren't you?!
Could you give this to the ring-bearing wizard?
We need to talk.
This is a matter of survival for me!
It's lunchtime.
