After gaining a new magic stone, Wizard is able to tap into even more of Dragon's power.
His evolution as a wizard continues...
We're pretty deep in the forest.
You say you found a magic stone around here?
Yes.
I remember there was an entrance around here somewhere, but...
Something's not right.
We've been going around in circles.
Something's keeping us out.
Learning the truth about these stones won't be easy.
Christmas...
I just don't get it.
Humans are crazy, man.
Hey, why can't we just blow up the whole town?
That's gotta make some Gate out there despair, right?
Now that I've got my mana back, I could burn the whole place down myself!
I've found a Gate.
Sorry!
Phoenix.
Make that man fall into the depths of despair.
Seriously, you'll let me?
I'd rather you do that than burn down the city and eliminate any potential Gates.
Thanks a bunch!
But don't cause any pointless destruction.
If you get out of line...
I know, I know!
I'll keep a lid on it.
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 16
A Christmas Miracle
It's our winter Crime Prevention Campaign... Thank you!
Don't forget to keep your home safe!
Watch out for pickpockets and shoplifters.
Be sure to lock up at night.
Pardon me...
Please, take one.
Why am I the only one in costume?
To teach you to take your job seriously!
Commissioner!
Sir, I think I've always been pretty serious...
Did you think I hadn't heard about it?
Well, it doesn't matter.
Section Zero has ordered us to overlook your involvement in Phantom cases.
But that doesn't exempt you from your responsibilities!
Handle them!
But working on Christmas Eve is...
What does it matter? It's not like you have a boyfriend.
Commissioner! That counts as sexual harassment.
And it applies to me too.
Really?
Serves you right!
What are you doing, Rinko?
Uh, well, I mean...
Isn't it obvious? I'm working. Working!
It's not obvious. That's why we asked.
And I didn't know the police did this kind of thing.
No... I mean, I'm not dressed like this because I want to be!
Really? But you look good in it.
R-Really?
Hey, flattery will get you nowhere...
And stop laughing!
A Phantom?
Get away from me, freaks!
Isn't it too early to start a Christmas party?
DRIVER ON
SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO TRANSFORM
Transform!
FLAME, PLEASE
FIRE FIRE, FIRE FIRE FIRE!
It's showtime.
COPY, PLEASE
Man, is the circus in town or something?!
Come on! Get out of here, while you've got a chance!
How'm I supposed to believe this Gate and Phantom crap?
Especially from Santa's little helper over here.
You think I'm dressed like this for fun?
Now, now, Rinko, calm down...
You're Tatsuro, right?
Dude, we're on first-name terms now?
But you just called him "dude".
I'm sorry...
Crap! You guys are wasting my time!
Hey! We're not done talking—
What?! I'm in a hurry!
It doesn't matter if you believe us, but you did get attacked by monsters.
Just stay put and—
Shut up!
This is supposed to be a day of hope for me, okay?
A day of hope?
Leave me alone, at least for today.
Sorry!
Move it, pops!
That's one rude Gate...
I really hate dealing with people like that...
Still gotta protect the Gate, though.
Besides...
Besides what?
I'm kind of bothered by how he was only attacked by Ghouls.
I have a bad feeling about this.
What were you doing?
Why only send Ghouls?
I'm avoiding pointless destruction, just like you told me.
There's no point in subtlety if the wizard notices anyway.
I know, right?
Don't tell me you...
Look, if you're gonna let me handle it, shut up and let me handle it.
Hey!
- Dammit, you're late! - Sorry!
Tatsuro, get over here!
Yessir!
Filling up with regular!
Thank you!
Go ahead.
Excuse me...
How many jobs does that guy have?
He seems like a hard worker, in spite of his attitude.
I bet he blows a lot of money gambling...
Or maybe he dug himself into a huge debt!
I'd believe it.
What are you doing?
Commissioner!
Now I look like a fool too, and it's all your fault!
Come on, I'm getting a proper day's work out of you for once.
I'm sorry! Take care of the rest...!
Good luck with work.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Tsubame Garden
Hey, what do you think you're getting this year?
I want some new video games!
I want a backpack!
I can't wait!
Weird place for you to take your break.
Or do you work here too?
Were you tailing me? You want a beating?
Tatsuro?
It really is you!
It's been so long, Tatsuro!
- Move! - Ow!
Tatsuro!
I'm sorry, Haruto...
Man... Kraken's following him now, so we're fine.
Are you two friends of Tatsuro's?
Not friends, exactly.
Who're you?
I'm the director here.
Here at the Tsubame Garden, we look after kids who have no parents.
Tatsuro lost his parents when he was young, and was here until he left high school.
Him too...
Never mind. What happened then?
Well, Tatsuro's got some rough edges...
He caused trouble here, and at school.
So three years ago, he ran off, and I hadn't seen him since...
I see.
What is he doing now?
Well, he's definitely working.
Director! Is he gonna come this year too?
Well... I don't know.
I bet he will!
Right?
Ow...
They seem excited.
They're probably all hoping for fancy presents again.
Fancy presents?
I'm back from the delivery!
Hey. Good work.
Here you go. Your pay for this week.
Thank you.
This should be enough...
Seriously? You got nothing better to do?
The director told me all about it.
Last Christmas Eve, a mysterious stranger delivered presents to the orphanage.
It was you.
You meant this is a day of hope for those kids, didn't you?
Not just them.
These Christmas presents...
They're my hope too.
Listen, everyone! If you're all good, you'll get presents!
Yay!
Getting Christmas presents, when we had no family, showed us that there was still hope.
Awesome! Thanks!
When I got older, I wanted to give back that same kind of hope.
I wanted to...
But it turned out backwards.
I gave the director and the home nothing but trouble.
I was about as far from hope as you can get.
But just for one day...
On Christmas, at least, I can still give people hope.
This day, where I give those kids presents... is my day of hope.
Satisfied? Then stay out of my way.
I'll help you.
I can relate to wanting to give people hope.
So that's it.
Phoenix!
The presents!
So these are what keep the Gate going, huh?
You were the one who sent the Ghouls after Tatsuro!
But y'know, I don't really care about the Gate.
I'm here to play with you, wizard!
SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO TRANSFORM
Transform!
FLAME, PLEASE
FIRE FIRE, FIRE FIRE FIRE!
Get out of here!
I can't leave the presents behind!
I've been waiting for this for a long time!
Just killing you would be boring.
I'll make you watch this Gate fall into despair, and you'll go right behind him!
I'll kick you down there myself!
FLAME DRAGON
BURN... BURN... BURN BURN BURN!
VERY NICE! SPECIAL!
FABULOUS!
What?!
The same trick's not gonna work twice.
Every time I die, I come back stronger.
I'm the immortal Phoenix!
Oh, the fun's just getting started.
Tatsuro!
I'm finally gonna split open that stupid shiny head of yours!
CONNECT, PLEASE
Hey, you're not the only one who has new tricks.
And I don't have time to play around with you.
WATER DRAGON
BUBBLE BUBBLE BUBBLE, BUBBLE BUBBLE CRASH!
VERY NICE! BLIZZARD!
FABULOUS!
This ain't gonna be enough!
I'm not done!
WATER SLASH STRIKE!
BUBBLE BUBBLE CRASH! BUBBLE BUBBLE CRASH!
VERY NICE! SPECIAL!
FABULOUS!
FLAME
Hey, snap out of it!
It's no good...
My... hope...
Don't give up.
I'll bring you the hope you need.
ENGAGE, PLEASE
So this is Tatsuro's underworld.
Dragon, come on!
DRAGORISE, PLEASE
The finale.
LUPACCHI MAGIC, TOUCH TO GO
VERY NICE! KICK STRIKE!
FABULOUS!
Santa Claus? Why?
Merry Christmas!
Oh... Thanks.
I told you I was immortal.
You'd better make your next trick good, wizard.
You okay?
I'm sorry.
It was all I could do to keep you safe...
There's no point in saving me without the presents...
Now I'm not gonna make it by tonight.
What's this?
MERRY CHRISTMAS, PLEASE
Dude, the presents! Awesome!
No way... What kind of magic is this?
Merry Christmas!
Was that... the real Santa Claus?
It was you all along!
Where are you going?
Why don't you come in?
I don't deserve to go back in there.
This is your home!
It's not about whether or not you deserve it.
- But I... - Forget about the past.
Now, you bring hope to these kids!
Come on!
I bet his real hope was that he'd be able to come back to this place.
Probably.
Well, we should head back too!
I bet Koyomi and Mr. Wajima are tired of waiting.
Yeah.
Man, it's really starting to feel like Christmas now!
And we've got our own cute little Santa.
Cute, you say?
It's not that funny!
Next time, on Kamen Rider Wizard.
I'll take that!
Never been told not to let your guard down?
I'm the only one who can fight the Phantoms...
Danger is opportunity!
It's showtime.
