Haruto, Nitou, and Mayu battle against Medusa to defend a Gate named Yamamoto,
who gains the potential to become a wizard.
Amidst the pitched battle, who should appear before Medusa but...
You've done a good job, Medusa.
The White Wizard... is Wiseman?
TELEPORT, NOW
You now have the potential to become a wizard.
Come with me.
I don't want to become a wizard!
I see.
But this is your fate...
CHAIN, NOW
Masahiro!
No!
That bastard's at it again!
Masahiro!
You alright?!
Move.
Masahiro!
TELEPORT, NOW
Masahiro...!
Aya!
Aya's calmed down...
Rinko said that the Section Zero is going to take her into protection.
...do you think that's actually Fueki's Phantom from when he went into despair?
But... if he's a Phantom, why would he help Koyomi?
Maybe it's like Gremlin and some of his human personality is still intact.
Either way...
If Wiseman and he are the same person,
then holding the Sabbat and gathering wizards...
There's got to be some connection between those.
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 48
The Philosopher's Stone
Haruto! They're back!
Anything?
Nothing?
Sorry...
Can you make one more round?
It's been five days!
And we haven't found any clues...
Oh, but, it'll be okay!
I mean, as long as we keep searching...
I'm sure we'll get somewhere, eventually.
That's not good enough!
Sorry...
While we're doing this, Koyomi is...
My mana...
LUPACCHI MAGIC, TOUCH TO GO
PLEASE, NOW
This space is accelerating her mana drain...
Not here either... where is he hiding?
Is he just going to stay in his hole now?
But that's not going to work for me...
White Wizard... no.
Wiseman.
Not a single lead...
What about you?
What's wrong? You look down.
No... I'm alright.
You thinking about that White Wizard?
I guess finding out the guy who gave you your powers is the enemy boss has to suck...
I thought I chose to become a wizard...
But if the White Wizard is Wiseman, I may have just been manipulated.
When I think about that...
Ghouls?!
Why would they be out here...?

Hello, Mayu!
Gremlin?!
Mayu!
No! Get off!
Haruto!
Aw, shucks! Why'd you have to show up?
Right back at you. We've got enough to deal with.
Mayu, are you alright?!
Yes...
Fine then...
I'll come up with something else.
Wait!
FLAME DRAGON
BURN… BURN… BURN BURN BURN!
CHAMELEO
GO! C-C-C-C-CHAMELEO!
Him again...
Are you okay?
Yes.
But why didn't you transform?
I...
I guess you're not too happy about being a wizard anymore.
Haruto?
What's wrong?
Nothing, really.
Nitou, can you look after Mayu?
Uh, sure.
Oh, Haruto!
Where am I...?
Takigawa Sora
Why am I trying to find him...?
Hello!
Sorry about earlier. But hey, great timing!
I was wanting to talk to you, too.
So, what did you want?
I was thinking you might know where Fueki is.
Oh, I see...
Then I'll need you to be my hostage.
Hostage...?
If one of the wizards is in my grasp,
I bet Wiseman will come to me.
That's why you were after Mayu...
Yeah! I was thinking of trading her for what I want.
You see...
I need Koyomi.
Is that a joke?
Haruto!
What are you doing here?
I saw you on your way here...
So you've come back...
I guess this means our negotiation's over.
But, it was nice of you to think of me.
We really are two peas in a pod, Haruto.
Hold it!
Why did you meet with Takigawa Sora...?
He was right.
I needed his help.
I was being stupid...
But...
No matter how hard we look, there's no trace of Fueki...
I want to help Koyomi. And I couldn't think of anything else...
I'm supposed to be a wizard....
But at the most important time, I'm powerless...
Some "final hope" I am.
Haruto...
Hello?
I understand. I'll be right there.
Haruto!
There's still hope.
This is...?
Thank goodness...
I'm glad you're awake, Agent Kizaki.
Are you really okay?
Yeah.
But, you're more interested in Fueki than how I'm doing, am I right?
Then...
You did discover who he was?
Yeah.
That's why he attacked me.
What is this?
His name is Fueki Sou...
He's a physicist.
A physicist?
Yes...
A famous one too, apparently.
He's contributed to many fields and has done important work in medicine and technology.
What about his family...?
He had a wife, but she died young.
And... he has a daughter.
My daughter Koyomi is my reason for living.
She's my hope.
When I learned she had an incurable disease...
I used every means available to me to try and treat her...
I...
I'm Fueki's daughter.
Father...
Koyomi...
Koyomi?
Koyomi...!
Open your eyes! Koyomi!
But it was all for nothing and Koyomi passed away.
I lost my hope for living... and fell into the depths of despair.
That can't be...
What am I...?!
Then...
Who is the Koyomi that we've been with?
She's the key to this mystery.
And this...
It's Fueki's address.
As much as I hate to admit it, the only thing that can handle a wizard is another wizard.
You're the only one I can turn to...
I think I've talked too much... I'm going to get some rest.
I'll lower the bed.
Thank you, Kizaki.
Wait! I'll go too.
No... I'll go alone.
I want to talk to him one-on-one.
Well, I guess we'll head to Remnants...
Sounds good.
That's probably the safest place to be.
Wait a moment.
Yuzuru!
You're okay?!
I've come to pick you up, Mayu.
Wiseman is waiting.
Hey! What are you talking about?!
You didn't...
SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO TRANSFORM
Transform.
CHANGE, NOW
You became a wizard...?
CHAIN, NOW
Hey, stop it!
Yuzuru!
Got no choice...
DRIVER ON

Stop it, Yuzuru!
If you try to stop me, I won't hold back.
I said, stop!
What happened to you, Yuzuru?!
Yuzuru...!

GIANT, NOW
Yuzuru...!
Nitou!
Let's get going.
TELEPORT, NOW
This is it...
Fueki
I'm impressed you found this place.
Fueki.
Excellent timing.
I was on my way to retrieve you.
Me?
Yes.
Are you the Phantom born from Koyomi's father?
I'm human.
And this is Carbuncle, an artificial Phantom I created.
An artificial Phantom?!
To become a wizard, you need to host a Phantom within your body.
So, I used science to grow one and implanted it in myself.
Is that even possible...?
I succeeded in combining science and magic,
and gained what I sought.
The power for a normal human to wield magic at will.
What's that got to do with Koyomi?!
What is she?! Why does she need mana?!
Koyomi is... a puppet that contains the Philosopher's Stone.
What?!
Her deceased body is kept alive with mana.
Through the Philosopher's Stone,
the mightiest magic stone, with the power to defy life and death.
The ultimate magic stone?
But in order to exist, it needs an influx of mana.
A power source, if you will.
And you chose... me.
In order to hold the Sabbat once again,
I can't afford to expend my own mana.
So you used the Phantoms to find Gates...
And then brought Mayu, Yuzuru, and Yamamoto in, forcing them to become wizards.
Do you know how many people fell into despair because of you?!
Do you know how they've suffered?!
Compared to the suffering I felt when I lost my daughter...
Theirs is insignificant!
What?!
Koyomi is my hope.
To regain that hope... I will make any sacrifice!
It was all for Koyomi's sake...?
There had to be something else!
There was no other way.
And without your cooperation, Koyomi will die.
Could you stand that?
Then I'll have you come with me by force.
Yamamoto?
Let me introduce you to the fourth wizard.
SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO TRANSFORM
Transform.
CHANGE, NOW
Yamamoto's a wizard...?
Next time, on Kamen Rider Wizard...
The four of you will be the pillars...
If I can save Koyomi by becoming this "pillar", that might not be so bad.
I'm here to stop your Sabbat.
Goodbye, archetype.
