Nitou's grandmother Toshie, who arrives to take him home to Fukui, is revealed to be a Gate.
But all of a sudden, she demands that a Phantom drive her to despair...
Tell you what, I'll trade you.
The kid for the old lady.
Shunpei's life or Granny's...
We can't just choose either one!
This is all a game to him.
I'm so sorry, this is my fault...
It's not your fault, ma'am!
No, it is her fault.
Why would you say that to him?
But if you don't eat Phantoms, you'll die, won't you?
You actually wanted to trade your life to form a new Phantom...
To feed Chimera...
...to feed Nitou!
That's stupid! You're stupid!
You don't have to give yourself up! There's plenty of Phantoms—
I've lived long enough.
Kousuke, take me to him.
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 25
Life Decisions
What was the point of kidnapping this goofball?
I could have just threatened the Gate while she was still there.
That won't make her despair, though.
The old lady lives for her sweet, precious grandson,
and that's Beast.
This should be fun.
I remember now, I put Gryphon into Shunpei's bag!
To the station... Just to the station.
After that...
Lil' Gryphon. You watch over her.
Bird Bowling?
It's a closed bowling alley.
Perfect. Now we have the advantage.
Kousuke. Take me to him.
Kousuke!
Hang on, ma'am.
I can save Shunpei.
Please, don't make any rash decisions.
The heck's going on?
I thought for sure if she found out I was a wizard,
she'd blow her top like she always does!
And all of a sudden, she's...
You, Phantom!
Make me despair.
But if you don't eat Phantoms, you'll die, won't you?
Like she... always does...
No, Kousuke! Stop it!
Ow, ow, ow...
See, I told you!
You should be grateful it's just a scratch! You rascal.
No, Kousuke! Get down from there!
I can't just put a band-aid on it if you fall down!
No, Kousuke! If you get washed away, we might never find you!
Here, take this.
It's a good luck charm.
I'm an idiot! A total moron!
It's so obvious now that I think about it!
Bird Bowling
I'll go in first and distract them.
You grab Shunpei.
Right.
CONNECT, PLEASE
H-Hey!
Quiet!
Medusa?!
The ring-bearing wizard?
Where's Shunpei?
What are you talking about?
My bag's gone...
They totally fell for it!
They got us...
I don't know what you're doing here,
but you've got some nerve interrupting me like this.
Rinko, get back!
SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO TRANSFORM
Transform!
LAND, PLEASE
E-E-E-E-EARTH EARTH E-E-EARTH!
LAND DRAGON
RUMBLE RUMBLE R-R-R-RUMBLE QUAKE! RUMBLE RUMBLE QUAKE!
VERY NICE! SPECIAL!
FABULOUS!
You guys are great!
What a great fight!
You...!
Gremlin!
You really thought you could catch me off-guard?
Too bad!
Make sure you bring the Gate next time.
We'll be waiting at the scrapyard on the outskirts of town.
Bye!
Wait!
Stop right there, Gremlin!
Come in.
Kousuke...
Granny.
Let's just go back to Fukui right now, okay?
No, Kousuke!
This is shameful...
Yesterday, that's all I wanted to hear from you.
Now, it's the last thing I want to hear!
I finally figured it out!
How you felt...
You've been worried about me this whole time.
I finally get it...
But if I lost you now...
That'd put me in despair.
Silly boy...
I would despair if you could sacrifice anyone else for my sake!
Granny...
You need to get ready, Kousuke!
You don't want to abandon Shunpei either, right?
Yeah...
Here.
That's my Granny.
Saw right through me.
You used me.
You've got some nerve.
Whoa!
Oh, come on! It's all a misunderstanding.
What?!
I was hoping that with your power, you might be able to get rid of the ring-bearing Wizard, too!
I see...
The whole thing was their plan all along.
Right.
They used Gryphon against us.
What're you going to do, Haruto?
We can't hand his grandma over to them.
We need a plan.
Well, we're out of time to strategize.
Nitou.
Stop! Don't say it.
It has to be the two of us.
You ready for this, Grandma?
Fully.
Hey! You can't seriously be thinking of handing her over?
Sorry about the wait.
Ma'am?!
So you pick the boy over your own grandma?
You can't do it, Nitou! Don't let them have her!
Shunpei, shut up for a second.
Alright, let's exchange captives.
Sure, sure.
But first, can I have that sweet belt you've got?
Magic's just going to mess this whole thing up.
Fine.
DRIVER ON
Thanks!
Now then, ma'am, if you'd come over here.
You can't, Nitou!
Why would you do this?!
Nitou!
Get moving!
Ma'am!
Move along.
No! Let's run, together.
Otherwise...
Here we go!
Ma'am!
So grandma, let's get to the reason you came out here and grant you your request.
My request?
You asked us to make you despair, right?
So we're going to break whatever gives you strength.
And that would be your grandson!
Nitou!
Kousuke!
Stop! Stop it!
A magic-less wizard is worse off than a bug!
It's over, ancient wizard.
Be sure to give birth to a cute Phantom, okay?
Stop!
You...!
CONNECT, PLEASE
Haruto!
Are you alright, Shunpei?
Yeah!
And that's how you turn danger into opportunity! Am I right?
You said he couldn't cast magic without his belt!
How—?!
I didn't use any magic.
This is Haruto's spell.
See, I can use Nitou's rings.
BEAST, PLEASE
We used my belt to cast some magic on Nitou.
BEAST, PLEASE
You really think I'd let you clowns have my Granny or Shunpei?
Nitou!
Gremlin, right? I still owe you for yesterday.
A wizard isn't supposed to be the one getting tricked.
How about I skip the trickery and just break you in half?
We've got you covered on strength, too.
Nitou!
Whoa there!

SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO TRANSFORM

Come on, you're barely pushing!
Over here!
What the heck?

FINAL TIME
I see that I underestimated both of you.
So I'm out for the day!
Gremlin?!
Man, that guy's good at running away.
Well... At least I can eat you up!
Go for it, Nitou!
My main dish...
KICK STRIKE, GO!
Tasty!
Unfold here...
Nitou took his grandmother back to Fukui himself?
Yes.
He did say he'd be back in a flash, though.
He probably figured something out.
All together...
Done!
Granny?
Yes?
I'll take care of myself from now on, okay?
So I want you to never think about turning into a Phantom again.
I understand.
I'll be fine, honest! I have your charm, remember?
Actually...
I still had this, too.
Let's catch our train. Come on.
Next time on Kamen Rider Wizard.
You don't hunt your own gates often, Misa.
The thing that gave me strength...
This time I'm gonna devour you!
You're under arrest for obstruction of justice!
