**[00:03] Chuuta**
I want you to find a w-witch!
**[00:06] Shotaro**
This girl didn't kill your guy.
**[00:09] Shotaro**
The real killer is one of you!
**[00:13] Road**
So... damned... hungry!
**[00:17] Shotaro**
Turns out Tokime wasn't Road.
**[00:19] Philip**
I'm aware. And I understand what's going on.
**[00:22] Shotaro**
Let's do the usual, then...
**[00:25] Shotaro**
I'll need your half of the power, partner.
**[00:28] Philip**
Right.
**[00:31] Philip/Shotaro**
Transform!
***SIGN*** Cyclone! Joker!
**[00:58] Road**
You're...
**[01:01] Philip/Shotaro**
Kamen Rider W.
**[01:03] Philip/Shotaro**
Now, count up your sins!
**[01:13] Philip**
Close combat will counter Road's
use of high-temperature projectiles.
**[01:16] Philip**
Stay on top of him!
**[01:17] Shotoaro**
Don't gotta tell me twice!
**[01:23] Akiko**
You must be Tokime!
**[01:25] Akiko**
Are you okay?
**[01:26] Tokime**
What's going on?
**[01:29] Tokime**
The detective transformed...
**[01:31] Tokime**
But I can hear *his* voice, too.
**[01:33] Akiko**
I don't know how it works,
**[01:35] Akiko**
but Philip's soul becomes part of
Shotaro, along with the Memory.
**[01:41] Akiko**
They're partners, the
two halves of one detective...
**[01:47] Akiko**
And they protect this town.
**[01:51] Akiko**
As Kamen Rider!
***SIGN*** Episode 3
***SIGN*** Beware of t /The Masked Defender
**[03:32] Tokime**
*Kamen Rider...*
**[03:36] Tokime**
*Where have I heard that name before?*
**[03:52] Shotaro**
He's getting desperate and fighting back!
**[03:54] Philip**
But the power he's outputting is remarkable.
**[03:56] Philip**
This Memory ranks highly among those
still in circulation, without a doubt.
**[04:08] Shotaro**
That dirty...
**[04:15] Akiko**
He's after *us*!
**[04:19] Shotaro**
The old hostage bit?
**[04:21] Shotaro**
You play dirty, don't you?
**[04:23] Road**
It's just until I escape
into the other Fuuto.
**[04:25] Road**
Once I'm there, I'll eat her up.
**[04:28] Road**
She's been waltzing across
the back roads that I made!
**[04:32] Road**
Now she pays the toll!
**[04:34] Shotaro**
Hate to break it to you, but you're not
holding hands with the bad girl right now.
**[04:38] Road**
What?!
**[04:41] Shotaro**
You're holding my right arm.
***SIGN*** Luna! Joker!
**[04:46] Philip**
Shouldn't that be *our* arm,
and not yours, Shotaro?
**[05:01] Shotaro**
Guess you're right!
**[05:07] Shotaro**
How do you like this?!
**[05:11] Akiko**
Yeowch...
**[05:13] Tokime**
Are you okay? Were you hurt?
**[05:14] Akiko**
Thanks, Tokime.
***SIGN*** Exterminate!
**[05:20] Akiko**
Shotaro! Philip! Go ahead
and kick that guy's butt already!
**[05:24] Philip/Shotaro**
Right!
**[05:31] Tokime**
The Memory's hot...
**[05:34] Tokime**
The shadow city is activating!
**[05:43] Philip**
A gate to another dimension, eh?
**[05:45] Shotaro**
We're going after him, Philip.
**[05:47] Philip**
Into Shadow Fuuto? Fascinating.
**[06:07] Road**
Them again?!
**[06:30] Shotaro**
Are you kidding me?!
**[06:49] Shotaro**
We need something with better reach!
**[06:50] Philip**
Right!
***SIGN*** Luna! Trigger!
**[07:16] Shotaro**
What the...
**[07:23] Shotaro**
That punk!
**[07:25] Philip**
Shotaro, we'll need to jump.
**[07:26] Shotaro**
Got it!
***SIGN*** Cyclone! Joker!
**[07:31] Road**
No one can keep up with me in this ci—
**[07:44] Shotaro**
Damn it, this guy thinks he can do whatever
he wants because he paved the road!
**[07:48] Philip**
He's taking the Memory's name literally,
**[07:51] Philip**
fancying himself the king of these roads.
**[07:53] Philip**
And while my interest in this
dimension hasn't been sated...
**[07:56] Philip**
We should execute a Memory Break.
**[07:58] Philip**
That should let us return to normal space.
**[08:08] Road**
Damn it!
**[08:15] Shotaro**
End of the road.
***SIGN*** Joker Maximum Drive!
**[08:23] Road**
I'm so... so damn hungry!
**[08:28] Shotaro**
I'll give you something to chew on, then.
**[08:32] Philip/Shotaro**
Joker Extreme!
**[08:57] Shotaro**
Tough luck.
**[09:00] Sabu**
Damn it...
**[09:02] Shotaro**
But the only kings on these roads...
**[09:05] Philip/Shotaro**
...are us.
**[09:30] Shotaro**
Well...
**[09:33] Shotaro**
Look...
**[09:36] Shotaro**
Sorry, Philip.
**[09:39] Philip**
The feeling is mutual, Shotaro.
**[09:48] Philip**
I was too fixated on the circumstantial
evidence that Tokime was Road.
**[09:53] Philip**
But she wasn't a Dopant at all.
**[09:55] Shotaro**
Right.
**[09:59] Akiko**
Well, with the culprit in cuffs,
I guess this case is closed, right?
**[10:05] Shotaro**
Nah.
**[10:06] Shotaro**
Not yet.
**[10:08] Shotaro**
There's still one other person
who needs to count up their sins.
**[10:23] Shotaro**
There's another hidden culprit in this
case, guilty of a serious crime.
**[10:32] Shotaro**
Mr. Chuuta Tsubosaki... that'd be you.
**[10:41] Chuuta**
Th-That's ridiculous.
**[10:43] Chuuta**
What could I have possibly...
***SIGN*** Toadstool!
**[10:49] Chuuta**
N-No! That's just...
**[10:57] Shotaro**
This is definitely your Memory, then.
**[11:01] Tokime**
He's a Dopant, too?
**[11:03] Philip**
Toadstool...
**[11:05] Philip**
A Gaia Memory of poisonous mushrooms, eh?
**[11:09] Shotaro**
Chuuta, I did a little digging on you.
**[11:13] Shotaro**
It's true that your family farm
in Hokkaido isn't raking it in,
**[11:16] Shotaro**
but it isn't on
the verge of failing, either.
**[11:19] Shotaro**
And you said you first came
to Fuuto to work here,
**[11:22] Shotaro**
but you visited two years ago
with some friends, didn't you?
**[11:25] Philip**
It was then that you
encountered this Gaia Memory.
**[11:31] Philip**
I'd imagine the dealer offered
to let you test its power out.
***SIGN*** Toadstool!
**[11:37] Shotaro**
That's a common trick they pull
to pressure people into a sale.
**[11:41] Philip**
You were enthralled
with the power it offered you.
**[11:45] Philip**
Unable to forget the experience,
you saved up the money to move to Fuuto,
**[11:50] Philip**
and purchased the Gaia Memory you
had been so desperate for.
**[11:52] Philip**
You hid the Memory in a bag
with a hidden pocket,
**[11:56] Philip**
which she promptly stole.
**[11:59] Philip**
Given the bag's contents, you could hardly
turn to the police to retrieve it.
**[12:03] Philip**
Which is why you sought out
the Narumi Detective Agency,
**[12:07] Philip**
with our reputation for
investigating Memory incidents.
**[12:09] Philip**
You concocted a persona to justify
your avoidance of police involvement—
**[12:13] Philip**
that of "the man who loved a witch."
**[12:17] Philip**
And coincidentally, it was effective.
**[12:19] Philip**
Shotaro's encounter with Tokime convinced
him of the likelihood of your story.
**[12:25] Shotaro**
Partner, could you not guess
at what's in my head?
**[12:28] Philip**
Perhaps I overstated that theory.
**[12:31] Philip**
Regardless, the t-intersection witch
was not actually a Dopant.
**[12:36] Philip**
Its nature isn't clear due to the damage,
but this is Tokime's Memory.
**[12:41] Philip**
And as a possible side
effect of possessing it,
**[12:42] Philip**
she had the ability to sense
Road's manipulation of dimensions.
**[12:47] Philip**
Tokime used the paths created by Road
to travel between the two towns,
**[12:51] Philip**
making her living as a thief.
**[12:54] Philip**
Distortions in space near the
Tachikawa building were frequent,
**[12:58] Philip**
which led to her being sighted at
the t-intersection in Yuunagi-cho.
**[13:03] Philip**
Given her amnesia, she may have also been
searching for clues to her identity.
**[13:11] Philip**
And thus, the legend
of the t-intersection witch was born.
**[13:16] Chuuta**
That's a lie!
**[13:17] Chuuta**
She has to be a Dopant!
**[13:19] Chuuta**
I saw her standing in mid-air!
She stole my bag, too!
**[13:22] Philip**
During the battle with Road,
I was able to confirm
**[13:26] Philip**
a several-meter discrepancy in coordinate
locations between the two towns.
**[13:30] Philip**
It's likely she was taking
advantage of that fact.
**[13:33] Shotaro**
I get it.
**[13:33] Sign**
Regular Fuuto
**[13:33] Sign**
Shadow Fuuto Building
**[13:35] Shotaro**
She looked like she was floating
**[13:36] Shotaro**
because she was standing
on higher ground in the other city.
**[13:39] Shotaro**
She walks away, and it looks
like she's vanishing into the wall.
**[13:42] Philip**
As for the bag that flew through the air...
**[13:48] Shotaro**
An invisible hook and string?
**[13:50] Philip**
Ethical concerns aside, she's refined their
use into a skill that helped her survive.
**[13:55] Philip**
That's the extent of our deductions.
**[13:57] Philip**
What do you have to say, Chuuta Tsubosaki?
**[13:59] Philip**
Any counter-arguments?
**[14:03] Philip**
Shotaro, at what point did you realize
that he was suspicious?
**[14:08] Shotaro**
It was something Tachikawa said.
**[14:10] Shotaro**
The witch, the nosy third-rate
detective, and that bag...
**[14:14] Shotaro**
He talked about taking care of it all.
**[14:16] Shotaro**
Why'd he care about the bag?
**[14:18] Shotaro**
How'd he show up so
suddenly in Suzukaze Park?
**[14:22] Shotaro**
Chuuta and I are the only ones who had learned
about Tokime bathing in the fountain.
**[14:27] Shotaro**
I had the broad strokes figured out then.
**[14:30] Shotaro**
You figured working with us
wouldn't get you anywhere,
**[14:33] Shotaro**
and worst case scenario,
we'd sniff out the Memory.
**[14:36] Shotaro**
Which is why you used that run-in
with Tachikawa as a chance
**[14:40] Shotaro**
to ask him to get rid of me and the girl.
**[14:43] Shotaro**
And that once you had the bag,
you would owe them one.
**[14:48] Shotaro**
You made him an offer he wouldn't refuse.
**[14:51] Chuuta**
Th-That's right...
**[14:53] Chuuta**
With that Memory, I could be superhuman!
**[14:56] Chuuta**
No one could ever call me boring or mediocre
**[14:59] Chuuta**
or make fun of me ever again!
**[15:04] Chuuta**
With this Memory, I could be...
**[15:08] Chuuta**
I will be...!
**[15:13] Chuuta**
Let go!
**[15:14] Chuuta**
Let go of me!
**[15:24] Shotaro**
Chuuta. I was doing everything I could.
**[15:28] Shotaro**
I wanted your love
to have a happy ending.
**[15:31] Shotaro**
And I didn't want you to think
Fuuto was an awful place.
**[15:34] Shotaro**
But this whole time,
the thing you really loved
**[15:38] Shotaro**
was the worst part of this town.
**[15:41] Shotaro**
I can't bear the thought of that.
**[15:44] Shotaro**
It's killing me.
**[15:49] Tokime**
Detective...
**[15:51] Shotaro**
I'm begging you.
Pay your debt, and come back.
**[15:57] Jinno**
Chuuta Tsubosaki, you're under suspicion
of illegal purchase of a Gaia Memory.
**[16:01] Jinno**
You'll be coming with us.
***SIGN*** Kamome
***SIGN*** Billiards
**[16:08] Shotaro**
Well, you should get going, too.
**[16:11] Tokime**
Do I need to count up my sins, as well?
**[16:14] Shotaro**
Of course.
**[16:16] Shotaro**
Stealing's still a crime, y'know.
**[16:18] Tokime**
I guess you're right.
**[16:20] Tokime**
I just...
**[16:21] Tokime**
couldn't shake the feeling
that I needed to stay in that dark city.
**[16:25] Shotaro**
I see.
**[16:27] Shotaro**
But you did more than just steal, right?
**[16:32] Shotaro**
I heard about some students
**[16:33] Shotaro**
who were almost attacked by a witch
under a flowering dogwood tree.
**[16:37] Shotaro**
You threatened them
to keep them safe from Road.
**[16:42] Shotaro**
Am I wrong?
**[16:45] Shotaro**
I haven't forgotten that
that's part of you, too.
**[16:53] Tokime**
You are such a softie.
Like a soft-boiled egg.
**[16:56] Tokime**
Half-boiled...
**[16:57] Shotaro**
What're you—
**[17:19] Akiko**
That was right on the lips! Like, fully on!
**[17:21] Philip**
Shotaro? Are you still conscious?
**[17:23] Shotaro**
Huh! Yeah! Yeah...
**[17:25] Tokime**
I don't mind half-boiled.
**[17:30] Tokime**
I'm always so hungry...
**[17:32] Tokime**
You should satisfy me.
**[17:36] Tokime**
Because I don't think I can
count all my sins up by myself.
**[17:50] Shotaro**
*I know I'll never forget...*
**[17:53] Shotaro**
*About the woman who was called a witch...*
**[17:56] Shotaro**
* Or the faint scent*
* of flowering dogwood on my lips.*
**[18:05] Shotaro**
* That brought the case*
* of the t-intersection witch to a close.*
**[18:09] Shotaro**
*But it was also only the beginning*
**[18:11] Shotaro**
* of the storm that would brew*
* around Tokime and I...*
**[18:18] Shotaro**
*Time for a Memory Break!*
***SIGN*** Metal Maximum Drive!
**[18:22] Philip/Shotaro**
Metal Branding!
**[18:29] Shotaro**
Damn it! He really gave us the runaround.
**[18:32] Philip**
That brings this matter to a close.
**[18:34] Shotaro**
Yeah. From here on, it's—
**[18:35] Tokime**
—a job for the cops...
**[18:37] Tokime**
Right?
**[18:39] Shotaro**
T-T-Tokime?!
**[18:41] Shotaro**
Wh-What are you doing here?
**[18:44] Tokime**
Silver and red... then that was Heat Metal?
**[18:47] Shotaro**
Wha?!
**[18:48] Shotaro**
H-How do you know that about W?!
**[18:51] Tokime**
You didn't hear about it from Akiko?
***SIGN*** Akiko Narumi's Special
Kamen Rider W
Secrets Notebook!
**[18:53] Philip**
Shotaro, has Aki not told you?
**[18:56] Shotaro**
What? Told me what?
**[18:58] Shotaro**
Does that notebook mean...
**[19:00] Tokime**
I'm going to be your assistant.
**[19:03] Shotaro**
S-Say what?!
**[19:06] Akiko**
Yeah, I didn't tell you.
**[19:08] Shotaro**
I kinda think I should be
the first person to know!
**[19:11] Akiko**
Aw, sorry, my bad!
**[19:12] Shotaro**
What is Tokime even doing here?!
**[19:14] Akiko**
It was Ryu's idea!
**[19:15] Akiko**
He used his authority in Paranormal
Crimes to get her a conditional release.
**[19:19] Akiko**
It's all about learning what that
Memory she had was, of course.
**[19:23] Akiko**
But given her amnesia,
he said it would be a good idea
**[19:27] Akiko**
to have her help out at the Narumi
Detective Agency under my supervision!
**[19:31] Akiko**
Think of it as a kind of probation!
**[19:34] Shotaro**
Damn it, Terui, what's the big idea?
**[19:36] Tokime**
Terui?
**[19:38] Akiko**
That's my hubby!
**[19:40] Akiko**
He's a detective with the Fuuto PD!
**[19:41] Akiko**
I mean, Philip's the only one
who can analyze her Memory,
**[19:45] Akiko**
so it works out, right?
**[19:46] Philip**
I have no objections.
**[19:48] Philip**
Especially considering I found
myself similarly amnesiac
**[19:51] Philip**
and in the care of this agency before,
**[19:54] Philip**
I believe the best way for you to
unravel the mystery of your past
**[19:58] Philip**
would be to remain here.
**[20:00] Shotaro**
Still, though, I mean...
**[20:02] Tokime**
Do you not want me here, Shotaro?
**[20:05] Tokime**
If you don't, then I can go.
**[20:07] Shotaro**
Nah... I mean, if it can
help you figure out your past,
**[20:11] Shotaro**
I'd be glad to help.
**[20:13] Tokime**
Then that settles it!
**[20:15] Tokime**
I'm going to help you.
**[20:17] Tokime**
And if I can keep searching
for my past, then when I find it...
**[20:21] Tokime**
I'll finally be satisfied.
**[20:23] Shotaro**
Tokime...
**[20:25] Akiko**
And it looks like we've got a new assistant!
**[20:27] Akiko**
It's a pleasure to have you, Tokime!
**[20:31] Tokime**
For now, why don't you show me
to your place, Shotaro?
**[20:34] Shotaro**
My place, like... where I live?!
**[20:36] Tokime**
Yeah.
**[20:37] Shotaro**
What do you mean, yeah?!
**[20:38] Shotaro**
Why?!
**[20:40] Shotaro**
Are you seriously coming over?!
**[20:43] Tokime**
Cleaner than I'd expect from a bachelor.
**[20:46] Shotaro**
I'm so busy with work,
I hardly ever come home.
**[20:49] Tokime**
It's a little cramped, too.
**[20:51] Shotaro**
What's that matter?
**[20:52] Shotaro**
This is plenty of space
for a guy to live on his...
**[20:56] Shotaro**
Why are you on my bed?!
**[20:58] Tokime**
Why wouldn't I be?
**[20:59] Shotaro**
Wait, are you gonna live *here*?!
**[21:01] Shotaro**
But there's only one bed!
**[21:05] Tokime**
Then we can just sleep together.
**[21:06] Shotaro**
Th-That is not happening!
**[21:12] Akiko**
Shotaro?
**[21:13] Philip**
What's wrong?
**[21:14] Shotaro**
The witch stole my bed.
I'm gonna be sleeping here.
**[21:17] Akiko**
Couldn't you just sleep together?
**[21:19] Shotaro**
I don't wanna hear that again!
**[21:21] Akiko**
He's so bashful!
**[21:23] Akiko**
And when this is a chance
to get closer with the girl he likes!
**[21:26] Philip**
I wouldn't taunt him so much, Aki.
**[21:29] Philip**
I agree that Tokime doesn't
seem to be malicious...
**[21:32] Philip**
But that doesn't mean her
character is sterling, either.
**[21:35] Philip**
I sense a dark side in her.
**[21:37] Akiko**
Well, she *did* have a Gaia Memory,
even if it was broken.
**[21:41] Philip**
Right.
**[21:42] Philip**
There's a strong likelihood she was
involved in some kind of Memory crime.
**[21:46] Philip**
And while I wouldn't confront him about it,
**[21:49] Philip**
I've noticed a trend in Shotaro's
romantic preferences.
**[21:54] Philip**
Shotaro Hidari is drawn to femme fatales.
**[21:57] Philip**
And the outcomes are,
generally speaking, tragic.
**[22:00] Philip**
It may be a subconscious awareness of this
that triggers his reluctance.
**[22:05] Philip**
A fear that any women he loves
will come to a bad end.
**[22:08] Philip**
And there's one other point of concern.
**[22:12] Philip**
Road's motive.
**[22:14] Philip**
What drove him to create so many roads,
to the point he'd resort to cannibalism?
**[22:19] Philip**
Has that other city actually vanished?
***SIGN*** Aurora.
**[22:46] Aurora**
I don't sense you at all.
**[22:52] Aurora**
Have you truly left our city, Tokime?
***SIGN*** Hard-Boiled Delusion Diary

**[24:36] Philip**
Shotaro, are you familiar with
the concept of "maritozzo"?
**[24:40] Akiko**
Who cares? Let's eat!
**[24:41] Shotaro**
Hey, Tokime! You wanna—
**[24:46] Tokime**
I'm always multiplying.
**[24:49] Tokime**
Are you the one who'll satisfy me?
**[24:54] Shotaro**
This better do it! This better satisfy her!
**[24:56] Akiko**
My maritozzi!
**[24:58] Shotaro**
I sure hope it will!
