[00:23] Tokime
    Good morning.
[00:24] Philip
    Hello. Good morning.
[00:26] Tokime
    Where are Shotaro and the chief?
[00:28] Philip
    He didn't get in touch with you?
[00:30] Philip
    Aren't you his assistant now?
[00:34] Tokime
    I still don't have a way 
    for him to get in touch with me.
[00:36] Philip
    A reasonable explanation.
[00:38] Tokime
    Hey, are you mad
    about me being here, Philip?
[00:42] Philip
    Not at all.
[00:44] Philip
    I'm unabashedly fascinated
    with your missing memories.
[00:47] Philip
    It's an intriguing prospect!
[00:49] Philip
    Oh, no. The way I phrased that...
[00:51] (Flashback) Shotaro
    How many times do I gotta tell you?!
[00:53] (Flashback) Shotaro
    You can't always sound like you're a mad
    scientist looming over a lab specimen!
[01:01] Philip
    What I meant is—
[01:03] Tokime
    So, I'm a lab rat to you? Is that it?
[01:07] Philip
    I'm too late.

[02:41] Shotaro/Akiko
    A death threat?!
[02:43] Majima
    Right...
[02:44] Majima
    It came in yesterday.
[02:47] Majima
    Which is why I'd like to hire
    the Narumi Detective Agency as security.
[02:51] Shotaro
    A threatening letter...
[02:53] Shotaro
    Who are they threatening?
[02:56] Majima
    Are the two of you familiar
    with Megu Kazamatsuri, from our company?
[03:00] Akiko
    Oh, of course!
[03:01] Akiko
    I play the mobile version
    of your game on my phone.
[03:03] Shotaro
    I'm not much of a gamer,
    but I recognize her.
[03:07] Shotaro
    She's like your poster girl, right?
[03:09] Shotaro
    I hear she's a big deal...
[03:15] Majima
    Moriguchi, this is an important discussion.
[03:18] Majima
    Work can wait.
[03:20] Monako
    You sure about that, Maji-P?!
[03:22] Monako
    'Cuz if I don't crunch now, the mobile
    update that's due next week is gonna be late!
[03:26] Majima
    I realize that!
[03:28] Shotaro
    What's a "Maji-P"?
[03:29] Akiko
    Probably because he's the producer,
    and his name is Majima.
[03:32] Monako
    I'm always so damn busy...
[03:33] Shotaro
    Man, she's a textbook case.
[03:34] Monako
    I can't get caught up with anything!
[03:35] Shotaro
    Just look at the state she's in.
[03:37] Monako
    Does anyone besides me
    even care about deadlines?!
[03:38] Shotaro
    Making video games must be pretty rough.
[03:41] Majima
    Pardon us.
[03:43] Majima
    This is Monster El Dorado, 
    popularly known as "Monrado."
[03:47] Majima
    Due to our company being located in Fuuto,
[03:50] Majima
    the game itself is set in the city.
[03:52] Shotaro
    Wow, in Fuuto, huh?
[03:54] Majima
    You slay monsters from the demon world
     that appear in different parts of town,
[03:57] Majima
    obtain their abilities, and use them
    to customize your character
[04:00] Majima
    before taking them into battles
    with other players.
[04:00] Megu
    Demon Halo Slash!
[04:02] Majima
    That's Monrado in a nutshell.
[04:03] Game
    You win!
[04:05] Majima
    I'm proud to say it's our
    company's biggest hit title,
[04:08] Majima
    with this being its third year of service.
[04:11] Majima
    Megu Kazamatsuri
    was originally just a cosplayer,
[04:15] Majima
    but between the striking look of
    her character, and her skill at the game,
[04:18] Majima
    it's gotten to the point where she's hosting
     events and singing songs for the project.
[04:23] Majima
    She's grown into a incredibly popular idol.
[04:26] Majima
    Unfortunately, it has also led
    to these death threats.
[04:30] Akiko
    Then the person who's in danger is...
[04:33] Akiko
    Megu Kazamatsuri?!
[04:36] Majima
    This is the letter we received.
[04:38] Shotaro
    Pardon me...
SIGN    To MAX SOFT,   During the third anniversary event, Megu Kazamatsuri will be executed for her crimes. Security can't protect you. Not from my magic box of tricks.
[04:40] Shotaro
    "To Max Soft."
[04:42] Shotaro
    "During the third anniversary event,"
[04:44] Shotaro
    "Megu Kazamatsuri will be
    executed for her crimes."
[04:47] Shotaro
    "Security can't protect you.
    Not from my magic box of tricks."
SIGN    From m
[04:52] Shotaro
    "From m," huh?
[04:54] Akiko
    A magic box of tricks...
[04:58] Shotaro
    Sure sounds like a Gaia Memory.
[05:00] Shotaro
    Which led you to us?
[05:01] Majima
    Right.
[05:02] Majima
    I've heard the rumors about
    the Narumi Detective Agency.
[05:05] Majima
    Will you accept the case?
[05:07] Shotaro
    Of course.
[05:09] Shotaro
    Our lovely, local gaming idol is in danger.
[05:12] Shotaro
    What kind of man would ignore her peril?
[05:14] Monako
    Pretentious jerk.
[05:16] Shotaro
    Come on, miss, that's harsh!
[05:19] Shotaro
    Although, I get where you're coming from.
[05:21] Shotaro
    Your job looks like a real handful.
[05:23] Shotaro
    Of course you're annoyed by
     the presence of a glamorous gal!
[05:26] ---
    I get it!
[05:28] Akiko
    So, where's Megu Kazamatsuri right now?
[05:32] Majima
    I'm trusting you to maintain
    confidentiality on this,
[05:36] Majima
    before revealing a secret that we
     would rather keep from the public.
[05:39] Majima
    That's actually the reason I'm turning
    to you instead of the police!
[05:44] Shotaro/Akiko
    What's the secret?
[05:46] Majima
    Team Megu! Come on!
[05:54] Monako
    It's them!
[06:00] Koizumi
    Come on! Time for another makeover!
[06:03] Monako
    Aw, crap!
[06:05] Monako
    Ms. Koizumi, I'm begging you—
[06:20] Koizumi
    There. Your transformation
    is complete, Megu.
[06:32] Majima
    Right.
[06:34] Majima
    Monako Moriguchi, the main programmer
    of Monrado, is actually Megu Kazamatsuri!
[06:40] Monako
    They got me again!
[06:41] Shotaro
    Y-You mean the gal who looks like she's never
     touched makeup t-turned into that beauty?!
[06:46] Akiko
    Wait, then Monako has been
    making the actual game,
[06:49] Akiko
    and also doing PR for it, as an idol?!
[06:52] Monako
    I-I didn't wanna! It's just...
[06:56] Monako
    I thought it'd help make
    the game a bigger deal,
[06:59] Monako
    and I got so popular...
    they won't let me quit.
[07:03] Majima
    Moriguchi! I keep telling you
    to pay attention to your language!
[07:06] Majima
    Megu is a princess from the demon realm!
[07:08] Monako
    Monster! You're a literal monster, Maji-P!
[07:11] Koizumi
    Monako...
[07:12] Staff A
    Cheer up, Monako!
[07:14] Staff B
    You can do this! Okay?
[07:15] Staff C
    I mean, look how pretty you are!
[07:17] Staff D
    She's right! You can't let it go to waste!
[07:19] Koizumi
    Everyone is waiting for you,
    Monako... and Megu.
[07:23] Majima
    Do it! You've gotta do it, Moriguchi!
[07:24] Monako
    No, no, no way!
[07:26] Monako
    I'm sick of being an idol!
[07:33] Akiko
    That was a shock!
[07:35] Akiko
    A girl like that is a big-time idol...
[07:38] Shotaro
    I was wondering why they
    didn't go to the cops,
[07:42] Shotaro
    but I get the need for secrecy, now.
[07:44] Akiko
    Is it me, or does this company seem shady?
[07:48] Akiko
    She's the lead developer for Monrado
    and has to be an idol on top of that?
[07:51] Akiko
    No one could blame her for not wanting to.
[07:53] Shotaro
    They probably can't let her quit.
[07:56] Shotaro
    They need her to keep making the game,
    and keep being Megu Kazamatsuri.
[07:58] Akiko
    Yeah, Maji-P seemed to be on edge, too.
[08:01] Shotaro
    Either way, I wouldn't feel
    right leaving her hanging.
[08:06] Akiko
    Monako's going to be a surprise guest
    at an event scheduled for 5:00 PM...
[08:10] Akiko
    I'll go ahead and stake out the venue.
[08:12] Shotaro
    Okay.
[08:13] Shotaro
    I'm gonna head back to the office
    and check in with Philip.
SIGN    Kamome Billiards
[08:20] Shotaro
    What's this about?
[08:24] Tokime
    If you have something to say, just say it.
[08:27] Philip
    I'm not speaking because
    there's nothing to say.
[08:30] Shotaro
    What the hell are you two fighting over?!
[08:32] Philip
    This isn't a fight. It's an argument.
[08:35] Tokime
    Good point. I haven't
    laid a finger on him. Yet.
[08:38] Shotaro
    That's still called fighting, y'know!
[08:41] Shotaro
    So there you have it.
[08:43] Shotaro
    I'm on bodyguard duty for Megu Kazamatsuri
    until the anniversary event's over.
[08:48] Shotaro
    You listening, partner?
[08:50] Philip
    Of course I am.
[08:51] Shotaro
    Look, try and take it easy.
[08:54] Shotaro
    I'll talk to Tokime, too.
[08:57] Shotaro
    She doesn't know who she is.
[08:59] Shotaro
    You can see how that'd
    make her prickly, right?
[09:01] Shotaro
    Just try and cut her some slack.
[09:03] Philip
    I understand. I was
    in the same position once.
[09:07] Philip
    But she has a lack of tact,
    and a dearth of empathy...
[09:10] Philip
    In addition to a perennially
    overbearing personality.
[09:13] Philip
    There's a disconnect in our
    attempts to communicate.
[09:15] Philip
    It's that simple.
[09:16] Shotaro
    That's lot of complaints
    for something "that simple."
[09:21] Shotaro
    Well, I'll head to the scene with Tokime.
[09:24] Shotaro
    I'm counting on you if things get dicey.
[09:29] Shotaro
    You could stand to chill out some, too.
[09:32] Shotaro
    The two of you will be
    getting along in no time.
[09:34] Tokime
    I'm not so sure!
[09:35] Tokime
    I have a hard time imagining
    we'll ever be on the same page!
[09:38] Tokime
    He's mean, he doesn't care about how I feel...
[09:41] Tokime
    On top of being kind of stuck up!
[09:43] Shotaro
    They've practically got the same complaints!
[09:45] Shotaro
    Is this a "like hates like" deal?
[09:47] Tokime
    And by the way!
[09:48] Tokime
    If you had let me know what was going on,
[09:51] Tokime
    we wouldn't have had
    an argument in the first place!
[09:53] Shotaro
    Wait, me?! It's my fault?!
[10:02] Monako
    The whole place is full again!
[10:04] Monako
    Maji-P! Maji-P!
[10:06] Monako
    Maji-P, where are you?! It's starting soon!
[10:09] Monako
    Maji-P! Get back here soon, please!
[10:17] Meganeura
    And so it begins...
[10:20] Meganeura
    The festival of doom!
[10:26] Monako
    Damn it, Maji-P.
[10:28] Shotaro
    Hang in there, Monako.
[10:31] Monako
    Not interested.
[10:32] Monako
    I'm supposed to be sinking as much
    time as possible into game dev.
[10:37] Monako
    Why do I have to be dealing
     with death threats?
[10:40] Shotaro
    Well, you don't need to sweat that part.
[10:43] Shotaro
    I might not look reliable,
    but I've got a knack for protecting people.
[10:50] Monako
    If they'd just let me quit
    this Megu Kazamatsuri gig,
[10:53] Monako
    that'd solve the whole thing!
[10:55] Staff C
    You're up, Megu.
[10:56] Monako
    I seriously can't do this!
[10:58] Monako
    And wh-where the heck is Maji-P?!
[11:01] Staff C
    Come on, don't say that.
[11:02] Staff D
    The crowd is out there waiting for you.
[11:07] Crowd
    Megu!
[11:09] Shotaro
    Wow...
[11:22] Crowd
    Megu?
[11:23] Crowd
    What?!
[11:25] Crowd
    Here we go, here we go!

    Dorado 3rd Anniversary Festival!

    We've got a big surprise for you all today!
[12:00] Crowd
    She jumped out of the screen!
[12:02] Koizumi
    Monrado's own super idol, Megu Kazamatsuri!
[12:07] Monako
    Good evening, everybody!
[12:10] Watcherman
    It's Megu!
[12:20] Lyrics
    Asleep in the hearts of everyone you know
[12:26] Lyrics
    Is the yearning to become someone else
[12:31] Lyrics
    And in this town those feelings will awaken
[12:36] Lyrics
    Once the wind blows away all doubts
[12:36] Audience
    Megu!
[12:41] Lyrics
    Ambivalence, the fear and curiosity
[12:46] Lyrics
    Might seem like opposites,
    leaving you confused
[12:47] Tokime
    She's on a roll. And acting like
    a completely different person.
[12:52] Lyrics
    But I'm innocent, with pristine feelings
[12:57] Lyrics
    And if it was all for your sake...
[13:02] Lyrics
    The glittering world of Fuuto El Dorado,
[13:07] Lyrics
    is one I'm ready to defend,
[13:09] Lyrics
    so let the battle begin!
[13:13] Lyrics
    I got ya! With an emerald
    for every ounce of passion!
[13:18] Lyrics
    And we'll forge a legend together!
[13:19] Shotaro
    What's wrong, Tokime?
[13:21] Tokime
    I hear something... awful.
[13:23] Lyrics
    The road goes on and on,
[13:26] Lyrics
    and I'll follow it until the dream comes—
[13:37] Shotaro
    A Dopant!
[13:38] Meganeura
    The time's come for your execution...
[13:42] Meganeura
    Megu Kazamatsuri!
[13:46] Crowd
    That's not a Monrado character.
[13:49] Monako
    A m-monster...
[13:51] Akiko
    Everyone! Run for it!
[13:54] Shotaro
    Knock it off!
[13:55] Meganeura
    Butt out!
[14:00] Akiko
    Monako!
[14:01] Meganeura
    Time to find out how tough you are
[14:04] Meganeura
    when it's not just a game!
[14:06] Meganeura
    My fun's just beginning,
[14:09] Meganeura
    but I've gotta deal with this chick first!
[14:12] Shotaro
    Tokime, take the memory
    out of my breast pocket!
[14:15] Tokime
    Are you going to transform?
[14:17] Tokime
    With me?!
[14:18] Shotaro
    No, stupid!
[14:19] Shotaro
    I can't turn into W
    with anyone but Philip!
[14:21] Shotaro
    Just take the Stag out of my pocket!
[14:26] Tokime
    This?
[14:27] Shotaro
    That's it!
[14:28] Shotaro
    Now load the Pseudo Memory!
SIGN    Stag.
[14:32] Shotaro
    I carry around that bulky flip phone
    for moments just like this!
[14:35] Tokime
    It turned into a stag beetle.
[14:37] Tokime
    Is this like the other ones, at the office?
[14:39] Shotaro
    They're called Memory Gadgets.
[14:45] Monako
    Ow, ow, ow...
[14:47] Meganeura
    Say your prayers, Megu Kazamatsuri.
[14:52] Meganeura
    And get ready to suck my sword!
[14:57] Meganeura
    Die!
[15:07] Shotaro
    Tokime, look after her.
[15:09] Tokime
    Got it.
[15:12] Shotaro
    I told you to knock it off earlier, too.
[15:14] Shotaro
    Make it a third time and we
    do things the hard way, pal.
[15:17] Meganeura
    You...
[15:18] Meganeura
    I should've killed you already!
[15:24] Shotaro
    Guess you prefer the hard way.
[15:36] Philip
    It's time, then.
[15:37] Shotaro
    Let's go, Philip!
[15:38] Philip
    Right.
SIGN    Cyclone! Joker!
[15:41] Shotaro/Philip
    Transform!
[15:46] Meganeura
    You're one of those Kamen Rider guys?!
[15:53] Shotaro
    You bet I am.
[15:57] Philip
    Based on his appearance, we can be almost
    certain he's using the Meganeura Memory.
[16:01] Shotaro
    A mega what now?
[16:02] Shotaro
    What do you mean?
[16:03] Philip
    Meganeura,
[16:05] Philip
    a giant dragonfly that could
    reach lengths of 70 centimeters,
[16:08] Philip
    from the Paleozoic Age, 300 million years ago.
[16:11] Philip
    I'd advise against close combat!
[16:13] Shotaro
    Sounds about right.
SIGN    Trigger!
SIGN    Cyclone! Trigger!
[16:28] Aurora
    Kamen Rider W...
[16:32] Aurora
    On the right side, the wind-powered Cyclone,
[16:34] Aurora
    the blazing Heat, and the enigmatic Luna...
[16:36] Aurora
    On the left, the hand-to-hand focused Joker,
[16:39] Aurora
    the strong and durable Metal,
[16:41] Aurora
    and the sharp-shooting Trigger options.
[16:44] Aurora
    By combining different pairs of powers,
    nine possible combat forms are available,
[16:48] Aurora
    in addition to various
    rumored secret weapons.
[16:52] Aurora
    I would love to see them all...
[16:54] Aurora
    But will the little dragonfly
    be able to last that long?
[16:59] Shotaro
    He's slippery, I'll give him that.
[17:01] Philip
    Let's end it with a Maximum!
[17:02] Shotaro
    Right!
SIGN    Trigger Maximum Drive!
[17:07] Philip/Shotaro
    Trigger Storm Bomb!
[17:18] Akiko
    Monako! Are you okay?
[17:23] Akiko
    What was that?! I didn't hear about this!
[17:25] Shotaro
    You okay?
[17:29] Shotaro
    His Memory still isn't broken?!
[17:32] Shotaro
    Akiko, Tokime, get Monako to safety!
[17:34] Akiko
    Got it!
[17:41] Meganeura
    Screw you...
[17:43] Meganeura
    All these scrubs, getting in
     the way of my godlike playing...
[17:48] Meganeura
    You've all gotta pay!
[17:51] Shotaro
    W-What in the...
[17:53] Philip
    This weight... on our body...
[17:55] Tokime
    Chief!
[17:58] Akiko
    I suddenly feel too heavy to move...
[18:02] Akiko
    Tokime, get Monako clear!
[18:05] Philip
    It's affecting Aki, too?
[18:06] Shotaro
    What the hell is going on?!
[18:07] Meganeura
    Die!
[18:14] Aurora
    Maybe this dragonfly isn't a typical Dopant.
[18:18] Aurora
    Could he be...
[18:21] Aurora
    A High Dope?
[18:25] Shotaro
    Stupid bug!
SIGN    Metal!
SIGN    Cyclone! Metal!
[18:42] Driver
    Something weird is going on, Philip!
[18:45] Driver
    We're sluggish, but he's fine!
[18:47] Philip
    It's strange.
[18:48] Philip
    The Meganeura Memory shouldn't
    confer this kind of power.
[19:02] Akiko
    Tokime?
[19:04] Akiko
    Tokime!
[19:06] Tokime
    What is this?
[19:09] Tokime
    It was so awful before...
[19:13] Tokime
    Now the sound... is pulling me toward it...
[19:17] Akiko
    Tokime! What's going on?!
[19:24] Meganeura
    Here's my chance!
[19:25] Shotaro
    Tokime!
[19:27] Meganeura
    Got you!
[19:40] Meganeura
    Slow as you were...
[19:42] Meganeura
    You still had to ruin my—
[19:45] Shotaro
    If you can't be fast,
    you can at least be prepared.
SIGN    Metal Maximum Drive!
[19:53] Meganeura
    You—
[19:54] Shotaro
    I figured you'd slow down for a bit
    if you managed to nail me.
[19:58] Philip/Shotaro
    Metal Stag Breaker!
[20:09] Akiko
    The weight's all gone!
[20:15] Shotaro
    He got away.
[20:20] Aurora
    In my search for you,
    I've found something else entirely.
[20:25] Aurora
    Tokime.
[20:26] Aurora
    I would've never expected you
    to be with a Kamen Rider.
[20:29] Aurora
    How odd fate can be.
[20:33] Bando
    I can spare more time
    for your quest of self-discovery.
[20:38] Akiko
    Thank goodness. She doesn't look hurt.
[20:41] Akiko
    Tokime, are you okay?
[20:44] Tokime
    What was I...
[20:46] Philip
    Tokime, why did you do that?
[20:50] Philip
    Megu Kazamatsuri was nearly killed.
[20:54] Tokime
    I don't know!
[20:56] Tokime
    I'm not sure myself...
[20:57] Philip
    This isn't a matter you can just—
[20:59] Shotaro
    Easy there.
[21:00] Shotaro
    Don't go picking fights
    with my body, Philip.
[21:03] Philip
    Understood.
[21:08] Philip
    Shotaro, aren't you being too soft with her?
[21:13] Shotaro
    Partner...
[21:14] Shotaro
    We can be sure the culprit's
    got a personal grudge here.
[21:17] Shotaro
    There was serious hate in the way
    he talked to Megu Kazamatsuri.
[21:21] Shotaro
    You need to figure out who he is.
[21:22] Philip
    I fully intend to, but...
[21:25] Shotaro
    Akiko.
[21:27] Shotaro
    An attack means the cops
    are gonna be involved.
[21:29] Shotaro
    Ask Terui to guard her.
[21:32] Akiko
    Okay. Sure.
[21:33] Akiko
    But... what's up?
[21:35] Akiko
    I wouldn't expect you
    to suggest something like that.
[21:41] Shotaro
    I'm not gonna rake you over the coals.
[21:44] Shotaro
    Stuff happens sometimes
    that we can't explain.
[21:47] Tokime
    Shotaro...
[21:50] Shotaro
    I just want you to remember this:
[21:53] Shotaro
    A detective who exposes their client
    to danger is worthless.
[21:57] Shotaro
    Pops used to chew me out
    about that all the time.
[22:01] Shotaro
    So, I'm counting on you.
[22:04] Shotaro
    With the case... and keeping her safe.
[22:12] Shotaro
    You're gonna... be my...
[22:16] Shotaro
    assistant... right?
[22:26] Philip
    Shotaro!
[22:29] Shotaro
    Since I had the W Driver on at the time,
[22:33] Shotaro
    I could feel how shocked, sad,
    and furious my partner was.
[22:38] Shotaro
    Yes. I think because I saw that coming...
[22:41] Shotaro
    I managed to hold out long enough to have
    a word with everyone before collapsing.
[22:47] Shotaro
    My instincts are pretty good.
[22:50] Shotaro
    I could tell something
    dangerous was going on.
[22:53] Shotaro
    With the bad guy...
    and among the good guys, too.

[24:36] Shotaro?
    What's up, partner?
[24:37] Philip?
    It seems our souls have swapped bodies.
[24:40] Shotaro?
    Sure seems like it.
[24:42] Shotaro?
    Here's hoping we don't run
