Haruto finds the missing Rinko's location with the aid of a mysterious young man.
However, what awaited him was his nemesis, the immortal Phoenix,
who had become much stronger.
Haruto...!
I guess this is where I do the finale...
Nitou?!
The ancient wizard!
Butt out!
Let me eat this guy!
Thanks.
HURRICANE
You okay?
It's my fault... you were in trouble...
Rinko!
Don't you run away!
CHAMELEO
I'm trying to eat you! Quit running!
GO! C-C-C-CHAMELEO
Back off!
What are you talking about?
Now that there's no one to interrupt, this works great for me!
Here I come, my main dish!

CHAMELEO SABER STRIKE!
One... aw, man!
I don't have time to waste with you.
Wow, Beast is here too.
Well, it's still fun!
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 23
Decisive Battle
Ms. Daimon, can you hear me?
I want ten units of red cell concentrates!
This is Daimon Rinko!
- Doctor, please! - Right!
Please wait outside.
I see... okay.
Stay with Rinko.
I can't believe he was holding Rinko hostage...
He has to pay for this.
Do you think Haruto will be alright?
Man, what is with that guy?!
What are you talking about?!
That Phantom's a freaking monster!
I didn't get to eat him...
Of course that's what's bothering you.
Patient Room
Okay, thanks.
How's Rinko?
She's in no danger of dying.
She's pretty badly injured though, so she should rest for a while.
Phoenix has grown too powerful for even you to stop, you say.
I'm terribly sorry, Wiseman.
It's all right.
If he only wants the ring-bearing wizard...
Let us wait and see what comes of it.
Ringy wizard... show yourself!
Or else I'll blow this whole city away!
Phoenix?!
What, you guys have familiars too?
I'm surprised you do!
Yeah! My lil' Gryphon—
- We need to let Haruto know! - Wait!
I'll take care of it.
Don't say it! I know what you're thinking.
Right now, Haruto needs to stay with Rinko.
So, I'll go in his place.
And it's totally not because eating an immortal phoenix...
...would be an awesome source of mana.
...I figured as much.
You look terrible.
It's my fault...
It's my fault that she was...
You're right. It was.
"A wizard is the only one who can protect people from Phantoms."
You're the one who said that.
Yet you couldn't even protect a person you got involved in this in the first place.
What a joke.
Ringy wizard!
Get out here before I run outta city to wreck!
Whoa there...
I'd rather you cool off, instead.
You again...?
Nobody called you here.
I've always thought the way I show up uninvited was one of my best features!

Man, where'd these come from?!
Give the ringy wizard a message...
Come to where we first fought, tomorrow.
What?
If he doesn't, this whole city is gonna burn!
Make sure he knows.
Get back here, main dish!
Man, why's he keep running?!
In that case—
I can at least eat you guys!
Rinko!
Thank goodness...
Haruto...
I'm so relieved...
Looks like I had you worried.
I'm sorry.
This is my fault. I dragged you into all this.
Listen, I...
I met with Phoenix, without telling any of you.
I ran into him while investigating a case.
At first I was scared, but when I talked to him...
he started to remind me of myself...
So... maybe I could get through to him.
That's what I was thinking.
I was so stupid... they may look human, but they're still Phantoms after all.
In the end... I just encouraged him to do more damage...
Tomorrow, go to where they first fought?
An invitation to an old-fashioned duel.
He won't stop until he gets to fight Haruto...
We need to let Haruto know!
But Haruto's all worried about Rinko.
Can he even fight in the state he's in?
So I'll take over after all!
No... If Haruto isn't there, the city could be—
I'll just gobble him up before he gets the chance!
Well, maybe, but—
I'm already ticked off because I missed a chance to eat him before!
If I don't eat him, my stomach...
I mean, Chimera won't be satisfied.
What's not satisfied now?
Haruto! How long have you been there?
Yo. I just got back.
Then you didn't hear any of that stuff!
Well, uh—
How was she? How's Rinko doing?
She's awake, and not too bad.
I see.
She should be fine after some rest.
That's a relief!
Well, you're probably tired too, so get plenty of rest!
Especially tomorrow! Get plenty of rest tomorrow!
Tomorrow?
Uh, well, it's just...
Hey, how about some tea?
No.
That's fine.
I see.
Man, that was a close one!
You guys better not tell Haruto!
You, youuu were the one who almost let it slip!
Haruto...
I'm not cut out to be a wizard...
All that stuff about being people's last hope...
All that big talk...
And then I let this happen to Rinko.
Haruto...
Didn't you want to move on and accept the past, instead of worrying about it?
You're the one who saved me.
No... not just me.
I bet that Rinko... that everyone else feels the same way!
"A wizard is the only one who can protect people from Phantoms."
You're the one who said that.
I'll be your last hope.
I want to protect people, magic or no magic.
Just like you.
You're right.
Okay, I'm in perfect shape!
Just you wait, featherface!
...What are you doing here, Haruto?
Sorry to disappoint you when you're all up early and excited, but...
Koyomi gave me Phoenix's message.
Thanks, man.
Hey wait!
I'm the one who gets to eat him.
I have to settle things with Phoenix myself.
What are you saying?
He's the immortal Phantom, you know!
The only way to handle him is if I consume his mana.
There's nothing you can do. Give it up.
Wizards don't give up easy.
And as long as I don't give up, then there's still hope.
And I'm the last hope.
Then again, I guess I am kind of full from those Ghouls I ate yesterday...
Forgot all about that...
You can have this guy, then.
Just settle it for good.
Nitou.
Stop! Don't say it.
Besides, I can't survive on gratitude.
The wizard's on the move.
I see.
Haruto...
Here we go.
This time, I should be able to play until I'm satisfied.
Yeah.
But this is going to be the last time you play with anyone.
What?
You took Rinko's compassion and spit on it.
You're going to pay for that.
You look ready to fight!
Bring it on, then!

What the...?
All of my powers combined! This is the last hope!
And now, this one is complete.
Not bad...
But watch yourself! I'll just come back to life.
I'm not going to destroy you.
What?!
Your immortality is going to cost you.
You'll be destroyed and reborn again forever.
No way...!
I... I can't be... not like...
There will be no finale for you.
This whole thing reminded me just how dangerous Phantoms are.
From now on, no more doubts!
I'll protect the citizens from the Phantoms with all my power!
You don't learn, do you, Rinko?
I want to protect people, magic or no magic, just like you.
I see...
Besides, whatever happens, I'll always have my last hope.
- Ow! That hurt! - See? Take it easy.
Owowow!
The ring-bearing wizard defeated Phoenix...
So what now?
What do you mean?
Well, it's gonna be hard to carry out Wiseman's will all by yourself, right?
True.
Are you going to help me, Gremlin?
Next time on Kamen Rider Wizard...
Granny?!
Kousuke!
You're the Gate...
It's me, the magical girl everyone's talking about, Beast!
No way...
Just try and take my hope.
It's showtime.
