Nemoto Kazuyoshi, a Gate, is also a suspected arsonist.
On the verge of being arrested, Nemoto professes his innocence,
causing Shunpei to flee the scene with him.
Stop the car right now!
This man's an arsonist!
I...
I didn't start any fires!
I've had enough.
I'll just call the station myself.
Give me that!
Hey, give that back!
- Stop! - No!
What?!
Daimon helped the suspect escape?!
Ow... Ow, my ulcer...
Ow, ow...
I figured not needing to eat Phantoms to recharge your mana would've been pretty convenient,
but I guess it sucks in its own way, huh?
Still, it's a weird story. Who would've thought the Gate was an arsonist?
Yeah.
And if what Sora said was true...
If the police arrest him... Well, that'll drop him straight into despair!
Well, for now, Shunpei and Rinko are keeping the Gate outta jail, so that's a relief.
But where did those two run off to?
The number you have dialed is...
No good.
I can't get through to Rinko's phone.
Guess I'll try calling Shunpei.
Of all the times to leave his phone behind...
Just keep running for now, Shunpei, Rinko.
Hello, Kaga!
Guess you completely lost track of the Gate, huh?
Aww, you're so silly!
Still, I was pretty surprised!
Who would've thought that detective would help him escape?
If the Gate doesn't despair...
...you realize what that means for you, right?
Good luck now, Kaga.
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 37
The Fugitive's Despair
Hey! Why are we hiding here?!
Let's go to the police already!
Rinko! Just hear his story out!
I didn't start any fires! Honestly!
We have proof, y'know!
See?
That's...
I was out for my walk and the fire just started up!
I didn't do anything!
But now, all this stuff's happened...
Oh, it's so depressing!
Mr. Nemoto! Calm down!
I know!
At times like this, a little music helps brighten the mood.
There!
We're interrupting this music to bring you some news...
Regarding the apartment building that was set on fire late last night in Toriisaka,
the police have named a suspect, Nemoto Kazuyoshi, a 40-year-old resident of Morinoshita...
W-Wait a minute!
What is going on here?!
Additionally...
An active police officer is suspected of having aided in his flight.
Daimon Rinko, along with a known acquaintance of hers, Nara Shunpei, are also wanted for questioning.
I'm so sorry!
That one was expensive...
Guess I'd better get out of bed.
Haruto!
No, you should get some rest!
It'll be fine.
I'm not completely out of mana or anything.
We now return you to the scheduled broadcast...
No way...
Did they just say that I was wanted for questioning?!
Me too!
And what do they mean, "accomplice"?!
Listen here, Shunpei!
This is your fault!
What are you gonna do about this?!
How did this happen...?
I should be the one asking that!
Don't blame Mr. Nemoto for what's happening!
I'm so pathetic...
Mr. Nemoto...
What do you mean?
It's always like this...
I'm so weak-willed and easy to manipulate,
people end up tricking me all the time...
The other day...
This guy made me buy a weird pot... for a million yen.
Does he really seem like an arsonist to you?
Because he sure doesn't to me...
Listen, mister...
If you didn't do anything, why not go to the police and tell them that?
You make it sound simple, but...
I'd just end up saying "yes" to whatever they'd ask me, and getting locked up...
I'd probably get the death penalty!
How negative can you get?
What are you doing?! Cut that out! It'll be fine!
Are you mocking officers of the law?!
Hold it!
Where did Shunpei's group and the Phantom go?
Haruto!
I got a secret weapon!
What is it?
Myna bird food!
We can use this as bait, and that Phantom's bound to show up...
Like a bird... to its nest.
Whoa, great idea, Nitou!
Aw yeah!
Aw not at all, Mayonnaise-brain!
Listen...
He's a Phantom, disguised as a myna bird.
Phantom.
Phantom?
Yes, a Phantom!
Not a bird.
Ow! Ow, ow, ow!
Help!
...What is wrong with you?
Grandma!
Man, I hate to do this when I'm low on mana...
GARUDA, PLEASE
It's up to you.
I can... I can help...
I'm on the run for a crime I didn't commit...
Kyuuta's flown off...
What am I supposed to do?!
Oh, you mean your myna bird?
How long have you had it?
Just recently! He flew into my room...
He's my best friend!
He loves cucumbers, so I named him Kyuuta!
So, it's not the "kyu" from the character for "myna bird"?
That's hilarious...
Oh, Kyuuta!
Kyuuta!
Come home! Kyuuta!
Come on, come home, Kyuuta!
Let's go home!
Kyuuta!
I'm starting to think he's not exactly the arsonist type...
Rinko...
Is there someone there?
So that's where you were hiding!
We've located the fugitive!
You're not escaping this time!
Come along quietly!
Nice one!
Rinko, over here!
We need to go!
But, Kyuuta—!
Do you want to get arrested?! Hurry!
Get in here.
Okay...
So that's where the Phantom was...
Those two can combine?!
Sweet...
Nitou.
Don't say it.
After eating those Ghouls, I've got plenty of mana.
DRIVER ON - I can handle it myself.
Transform!

Now be a good bird and let me eat you!
Ow, ow, ow, ow, quit it!
Get off!
You flocking piece of...
CHAMELEO, GO!
C-C-C-CHAMELEO!
Hurry...
It's hard to walk down here...
Quit whining!
Run!
Look, it's all a misunderstanding!
Rinko and Shunpei are running to protect Nemoto!
Why would they need to protect Nemoto?!
He's a suspect!
Man, this isn't getting us anywhere!
Listen up! Nemoto's a Gate, and if you arrest him, he's gonna turn into a monster!
Get it now?
You mean he's so dangerous, he'll be like a monster?!
Then we need to take him into custody as soon as possible!
That's not what I meant!
Stay out of the way!
Or we'll bring you in for obstruction of justice!
Ow!
Quit making things more complicated.
Unbelievable...
I've really done it now.
There's no going back...
The cage, the cage, the cage...!
This is bad!
We're going to have to prove that Mr. Nemoto isn't the arsonist!
I don't think we have any other choice.
But...
I'm so lonely... and hungry...
There's nothing left but despair!
Rinko, do you have anything to eat?
Of course not.
Why is all of this happening to me?
Somebody help!
It'll be okay, Mr. Nemoto!
Hold it together! I'm with you!
I'll manage something!
Oh, that is enough!
I've been listening to you this entire time,
and you keep getting depressed for everything!
Rinko...!
And you're worrying too much about him, Shunpei!
If you think other people are going to bail you out of every bit of trouble in life, you're dead wrong!
Don't you want to try and fix this yourself?!
Because if you don't, you're not going to get out of this!
I bet the real arsonist is laughing at you somewhere...
Doesn't that bother you?
Doesn't it make you mad?
Well?!
Shunpei!
I'm sorry...
But I agree with Rinko.
You have to want to fix this yourself!
We're on your side, Mr. Nemoto!
Let's prove that you're innocent, together!
Shunpei...
Um... Can I see the picture from the security camera again?
Here.
This...
I walk by here all the time...
There's another security camera!
This was taken by...
that camera, over there.
The other camera's right there.
I see...
Guard! Guard! There's a fire! A big old fire!
What?!
Hurry, this way!
Where is it?!
It's over there! Go right around the corner!
This way?
Now!
Nemoto, keep watch.
Right.
There it is! Shunpei, it's camera 7.
Right.
Kyuuta!
Kyuuta! Come home! Come on!
There!
Play from there!
Rinko, this means...
We need a copy.
Right.
- Despair! Despair! - What's wrong, Kyuuta?
I didn't see any fire!
- Despair! - You there!
-What are you doing? -I wasn't doing anything!
Move aside!
Is it done yet?
Who's in there?!
What are you people doing?!
- Oh no! Hang on... - Oh crap!
Open up!
Just a second!
Open up!
It's open...
What are you people—
- Who are you?! - I'm so sorry!
What are you doing, Nemoto?!
Hurry! Are you okay?
But Kyuuta came back!
Hello, this is Remnants.
Rinko?!
Are you alright?
Rinko, where are you?
We've got proof of who was behind the arson...
We're going to lure the culprit out.
You can't go to the police! They'll—
I'll explain the details later.
For now, that's all I can say.
Rinko?
Hey, Rinko!
Man, it's not gonna be good if Nemoto is arrested.
Let's go.
Where?
To the police.
Why?!
Just stay quiet and follow us.
W-Wait, Shunpei!
Come along.
Just do as Rinko asks!
No! Let me go!
Good morning! Is everyone doing okay?
- Right! - Well I'm doing great!
Yeah!
I thought you were going to prove I was innocent?!
The arson suspect!
And Detective Daimon!
- Hang on! - What are you doing?!
Rinko, don't!
If he gets arrested, there'll be trouble!
What's going on here?!
We've got him.
Good! Now arrest the arsonist and his accomplices!
Right!
First!
I have the culprit for you.
You liar...
You were just trying to trick me!
Despair!
The arsonist... is right here.
...The myna bird?
That's ridiculous!
We've got the proof right here!
It was all caught by a security camera!
This myna bird is a Phantom!
I get it.
Stop spouting nonsense—
Good job, Rinko and Shunpei!
Yay!
Looks like it had us fooled too.
Well, the rest is our job.
I've got plenty of mana today...
So you'd better brace yourself.

Nemoto...
I'm sorry we had to scare you like that.
But we didn't want you to know the truth.
Otherwise, the Phantom would have caught on... We're sorry.
I... I'm innocent now, right?
Yes.
But...
Kyuuta's...
Kyuuta's a monster!
Now there's nothing but despair!
Ehh?!
Next time on Kamen Rider Wizard.
You know him?
He's a piece of garbage!
I can't forgive him... for disappearing like that, and running away.
I owe you quite a bit for your help back then.
I took his hope away...
