[00:05] Shotaro
    A bomb cyclone hit Fuuto that day
[00:09] Shotaro
    and whipped up an out-of-season blizzard.
[00:14] Shotaro
    Which wasn't a problem in and of itself.
[00:17] Shotaro
    No one expects the weather
    forecast to always get it right.
[00:20] Shotaro
    The real problem was that...
[00:23] Shotaro
    on that day, of all days,
[00:25] Shotaro
    we were in the mountains picking
    mushrooms for some reason!
[00:29] Philip
    Behold, Shotaro!
[00:31] Philip
    The amanita fulva is intact!
[00:34] Shotaro
    Maybe instead of the shrooms,
[00:36] Shotaro
    you should be worried about us!

SIGN    • Stylish! • Slick! * My hubby is a bike.
[02:20] Tokime
    "My hubby is a bike!"
[02:24] Tokime
    She probably means "is riding a bike."
[02:30] Terui
    He seems to have taken a liking to you.
[02:32] Akiko
    Oh, Mick sure has!
[02:34] Akiko
    Even though I've known him way longer!
[02:37] Tokime
    You came to talk with Shotaro, right?
[02:40] Terui
    Mutsuo Mihara...
[02:42] Terui
    The culprit behind the Meganeura
    case has been murdered.
[02:48] Terui
    He was under tight security.
[02:51] Terui
    And the way he died is... improbable.
[02:53] Terui
    I think something is brewing in Fuuto.
[02:56] Terui
    I was hoping to share intel.
[03:00] Terui
    Strange that the two of them aren't back yet.
[03:02] Akiko
    Oh, right.
[03:03] Akiko
    It started with Philip falling down a
    rabbit hole researching mushrooms.
[03:07] Akiko
    This whatever-it-was mushroom
    he was most interested in?
[03:09] Akiko
    Shotaro tells him,
[03:10] Akiko
    "Hey, I saw those up in the
    Kazafuki Mountains, back in the day."
[03:13] Akiko
    And Philip's all "By all means,
     escort me to them."
[03:17] Akiko
    And of course, with Shotaro
    being a people pleaser,
[03:20] Akiko
    he's like, "Guess it couldn't
    hurt to take some time off!"
[03:22] Akiko
    Can you believe it?!
[03:25] Terui
    Chief...
[03:26] Terui
    You're making this sound like
    some light-hearted antics,
[03:30] Terui
    but given the weather...
[03:32] Terui
    Isn't that a recipe for getting stranded?
[03:37] Akiko
    I strandidn't think of that.
[03:50] Shotaro
    Hey! Buildings!
[04:03] Philip
    This place is abandoned.
[04:05] Shotaro
    Damn it!
[04:09] Philip
    Shotaro, someone's coming!
[04:19] Shotaro
    A-Abominable snow woman!
[04:29] Kanna
    Did you two get lost in the blizzard?
[04:33] Shotaro
    Oh, you must be a local!
[04:38] Kanna
    This way, quick!
[04:43] Shotaro
    We're saved!
[04:49] Shotaro
    There's probably a house
    around here somewhere.
[04:53] Philip
    "A house"...
[04:55] Philip
    would be an understatement.
[05:01] Kanna
    Come on, you two! This way, quickly!
[05:06] Shotaro
    Cold... So cold! What a relief!
[05:09] Philip
    Thank you.
[05:10] Philip
    You've saved our lives.
[05:13] Kanna
    I just happened to see you two.
[05:17] Shotaro
    Is this mansion yours, miss?
[05:21] Kanna
    No. It's not.
[05:24] Kanna
    I'll ask the owner to let you two
     take shelter during the blizzard.
[05:28] Kanna
    Could you wait here while I do?
[05:30] Shotaro
    You bet!
[05:31] Shotaro
    Even the entryway is a lot
    warmer than it was out there.
[05:38] Kanna
    Oh.
[05:39] Kanna
    There's one other thing I need to ask.
[05:42] Kanna
    Don't let anyone in the mansion
    know that you've seen my face.
[05:49] Kanna
    Can you promise me that?
[05:52] Shotaro
    Well, sure.
[05:54] Shotaro
    Considering you saved our lives...
[06:05] Shotaro
    No signal here, either.
[06:07] Philip
    Likely because of the weather.
[06:10] Philip
    The master of the house is ready to see you.
[06:18] Philip
    Something about her seems different.
[06:21] Philip
    Like her voice is somehow muffled.
[06:24] Shotaro
    I was more focused on how low-cut
    that dress of hers is in the back.
[06:28] Shotaro
    Wouldn't have guessed she'd
    have such wild fashion sense.
[07:05] Kuya
    Hey there.
[07:06] Kuya
    A pleasure to meet you.
    I'm the master of the premises.
[07:11] Kiku
    We weren't expecting visitors
    at a time like this.
[07:14] Kuya
    Well, it's not like we could sit back
[07:16] Kuya
    and let them freeze to death, Grandmother.
[07:19] Kuya
    Now then, you boys...
[07:23] Kuya
    Here's a riddle.
[07:25] Kuya
    What do you think we're up to in this house?
[07:33] Philip
    A particularly eccentric
    masquerade ball
[07:37] Philip
    is the only description that
    comes to my mind.
[07:41] Kuya
    That's the natural conclusion.
[07:44] Shotaro
    I'm not so sure.
[07:46] Shotaro
    If you're out to have a good
    time with these ladies,
[07:50] Shotaro
    it's weird that you'd have them
    strap on such nasty masks.
[07:53] Shotaro
    Something about that makes me think
[07:55] Shotaro
    there's more going on here
    than just crazy aesthetics.
[07:57] Shotaro
    Another thing.
[07:59] Shotaro
    If this was just a party to
     entertain the big man,
[08:01] Shotaro
    wouldn't the older lady be a distraction?
[08:03] Shotaro
    But instead, she's seated in front
    of the fancy folding screen.
[08:06] Shotaro
    Like she's the important one.
[08:08] Shotaro
    Which is why I don't think
    this is just any party.
[08:13] Kuya
    What do you think it is, then?
[08:15] Shotaro
    To be honest, it's so surreal
    it could be out of a fairy tale...
[08:21] Shotaro
    Specifically, a fox's wedding.
[08:27] Kuya
    What's your name, friend?
    What do you do for a living?
[08:31] Shotaro
    I'm Shotaro Hidari. This is Philip.
[08:34] Shotaro
    We're both private detectives.
[08:36] Kuya
    That explains it!
[08:38] Kuya
    I'm impressed.
    You've got some sharp insight.
[08:40] Kuya
    You were more or less on the right track!
[08:43] Shotaro
    Say what now?
[08:45] Kiku
    He's right.
[08:46] Kiku
    This is about finding a wife.
[08:48] Kiku
    Selecting one of these candidates
    to marry him, specifically.
[08:53] Kiku
    These four girls are the foxes in question.
[08:56] Kuya
    I'm looking to choose the
    temptress that suits me the best.
[09:00] Kuya
    And there you have it.
[09:03] Kuya
    I'm Kuya Kagamino.
[09:05] Kuya
    The master of the Kagamino residence.
[09:07] Shotaro
    Wait, is it okay for you to
    take the mask off?
[09:10] Kuya
    Well, everyone connected to the
    house already knows what I look like.
[09:14] Kuya
    My mask is just supposed
    to make me harder to read.
[09:18] Kiku
    I can explain it to them, dear.
[09:20] Kuya
    This is Kiku Kagamino, my grandmother.
[09:24] Shotaro
    Kiku's explanation wasn't
    exactly easy to swallow.
[09:28] Shotaro
    It involved an old marriage custom
    followed in this settlement.
[09:32] Shotaro
    This village, called Kiritoshi,
    was home to a gold mine.
[09:36] Shotaro
    That plus its hot springs
[09:37] Shotaro
    made it a popular tourist spot,
    even among Fuuto's other attractions.
[09:40] Shotaro
    Hardly anyone comes around anymore,
    so it's functionally been abandoned.
[09:45] Shotaro
    But the Kagamino family,
    who were basically local royalty,
[09:49] Shotaro
    still live here, with their
    massive fortune still intact.
[09:53] Shotaro
    They've got all kinds of golden goods,
    and works of art to spare.
[09:59] Kuya
    All of which were mine to inherit.
[10:02] Kuya
    Though I've been selling it off bit by bit
     to live a life of sweet indulgence.
[10:07] Kiku
    The family has enough wealth
    that he can afford to do so.
[10:11] Kiku
    As you can imagine, there's been no shortage
    of women looking to marry into it.
[10:15] Kiku
    In order to make sure the bride was chosen
[10:18] Kiku
    for their personality,
    and not just their face,
[10:21] Kiku
    we have them meet with
    the head of the family
[10:24] Kiku
    while wearing the masks used
    to ward off evil spirits.
[10:26] Kiku
    That was how the tradition came to be.
[10:29] Kiku
    I did the same thing when
     I married his grandfather.
[10:32] Koyomi
    That's right.
[10:34] Koyomi
    Which means we're all aiming
    to marry the master here.
[10:39] Kei
    Today's the second day.
[10:41] Kei
    The four candidates spend four days
    in the mansion making their case.
[10:45] Kurumi
    The rules are simple.
[10:47] Kurumi
    Whoever captures his affections
    over the four days is the winner.
[10:52] Kurumi
    But if your face or name ever get out,
[10:57] Kurumi
    you're immediately disqualified.
[10:59] Shotaro
    I get it.
[11:01] Shotaro
    So that's why our lady in white
[11:03] Shotaro
    wanted us to keep quiet
    about seeing under her mask.
[11:08] Kuya
    My parents died when I was young.
[11:11] Kuya
    Grandmother's raised me ever since.
[11:14] Kuya
    So, when I decided to settle down,
    I figured I'd do things her way.
[11:20] Kuya
    The four of them were
    chosen by Grandmother.
[11:24] Kuya
    If she's satisfied with them, then so am I.
[11:28] Kurumi
    So, can we drop the explanations already?
[11:30] Koyomi
    I'm all for that.
[11:31] Koyomi
    We're already fighting to get as much
    time with the master as possible.
[11:35] Koyomi
    And since I can't show him my darling looks,
[11:38] Koyomi
    it's down to conversation to win him over.
[11:41] Koyomi
    Although some folks are betting it
    all on everything but their heads...
[11:46] Kei
    Excuse me?! Who are you
    talking about, exactly?
[11:48] Koyomi
    I didn't mention who, sweetie.
[11:50] Kei
    You were looking at me, weren't you?
[11:51] Koyomi
    Lord, talk about self-conscious!
[11:54] Kei
    Sounds more like you!
[11:55] Kei
    I've got my doubts about
    those "darling looks."
[11:57] Kei
    You're lucky this is a masquerade!
[11:59] Kei
    It'll save everyone from
     losing their lunch!
[12:01] Koyomi
    Right back at you, girly!
[12:03] Koyomi
    You wouldn't believe how glad I am
     to miss out on that nasty mug of yours!
[12:09] Kuya
    Come on, let's all settle down a bit.
[12:11] Kuya
    The night is young.
[12:16] Kuya
    With that being the case, gentlemen,
[12:18] Kuya
    I need to continue
    to entertain these ladies.
[12:22] Kuya
    The blizzard's of no consequence.
[12:25] Kuya
    And thanks to our financial resources,
[12:27] Kuya
    we have food and back-up power to spare.
[12:31] Philip
    That would explain
    why it's so warm.
[12:34] Kuya
    The only way to the village is a tunnel
    that's likely been buried in snow.
[12:38] Kuya
    This manor will be isolated
    for the immediate future.
[12:42] Kuya
    The only ones present within it
[12:44] Kuya
    are one of my Grandmother's friends,
    who's been trapped here by the snow,
[12:48] Kuya
    and the nine of us in this room—my
    butler included—for a total of ten.
[12:52] Kuya
    We could easily survive
    for six months without leaving.
[12:57] Kiku
    This is part of the tradition.
[12:59] Kiku
    You'll need to wear masks
    while in the house.
[13:03] Shotaro
    We really appreciate
    the hospitality, mister.
[13:06] Kuya
    I've simply taken a liking to you two.
[13:10] Kuya
    The way you reacted to this
    bizarre setup so calmly...
[13:14] Kuya
    Our dynamic detective duo
    seems to be something special.
[13:24] Shotaro
    You gotta figure this setup
    only draws in gold diggers, right?
[13:30] Shotaro
    I've got real doubts about him
    finding a nice gal in this bunch.
[13:37] Philip
    Shotaro, you've forgotten exactly
    what Kuya Kagamino said.
[13:42] Philip
    He never mentioned choosing a good
    person from among the four candidates.
[13:47] (Flashback) Kuya
    I'm looking to choose the
    temptress that suits me the best.
[13:53] Shotaro
    Sounds kinda messed up.
[13:57] Shotaro
    Something wrong?
[13:59] Philip
    These are amanita fulva...
[14:01] Philip
    I remember now.
[14:03] Philip
    The Library noted that they're
    toxic when eaten raw,
[14:05] Philip
    but have a lovely flavor
    when used to make broth.
[14:10] Shotaro
    Makes sense, I guess.
[14:11] Shotaro
    They do grow around here.
[14:13] Shotaro
    Good for you, too. Now you
    even know what they taste like.
[14:16] Philip
    My interest has rather suddenly deflated.
[14:18] Philip
    To have them served up on a platter,
    after risking our lives to obtain them...
[14:23] Bando
    Hello there.
[14:25] Bando
    You're the two who were
    lost in the blizzard, I take it?
[14:31] Bando
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
     My name is Kanamori.
[14:34] Shotaro
    Oh, you must be Kiku's friend.
[14:37] Shotaro
    I was imagining someone a lot older.
[14:40] Bando
    I'm a antique art dealer,
    operating out of Kogarashi Hill.
[14:43] Bando
    Mrs. Kiku is one of my regular clients.
[14:46] Bando
    I was happy to be invited to advise
     in her son's engagement,
[14:50] Bando
    but then the snow hit...
[14:51] Bando
    I'm in quite a pickle.
[14:55] Bando
    Although I suppose it may be fate.
[15:03] Bando
    My, my, how dreadful.
[15:06] Bando
    It's been said those involved with
    Gaia Memories are drawn to each other...
[15:11] Bando
    But I never expected to encounter the
    Kamen Rider duo in a place like this.
[15:16] Bando
    I believe tonight will prove
    to be most stimulating.
[15:33] Shotaro
    I really shouldn't...
[15:34] Shotaro
    But job habits mean I get restless
     when there's something bugging me.
[15:43] Shotaro
    Oh, it's you. You scared me.
[15:48] Shotaro
    Hey, whoa there!
[15:49] Shotaro
    Weren't you supposed to
    keep your face hidden?
[15:52] Kanna
    My name's Kanna Kubokura!
[15:55] Kanna
    I don't care about marrying him anymore!
[15:58] Kanna
    So, please...
[15:59] Kanna
    Save me, Mr. Detective!
[16:01] Kanna
    If you don't... I know I'll...
[16:09] Kanna
    I'm sorry.
[16:13] Kanna
    Forget I said anything.
[16:15] Shotaro
    Hey!
[16:37] Shotaro
    She... She's dead.

[18:13] Shotaro
    Philip...
[18:15] Shotaro
    You saved us by using our right hand
[18:17] Shotaro
    to swap memories in time.
[18:23] Shotaro
    Heat helped us withstand it,
[18:25] Shotaro
    but where the hell did the
    explosion come from?
[18:28] Philip
    I've deduced the nature of the Memory.
[18:30] Philip
    It's Alcohol.
[18:31] Shotaro
    Alcohol? As in, like, booze?
[18:34] Philip
    The substance contained within the
    enemy's semi-translucent, blob-like body
[18:38] Philip
    oozed out from the epidermis.
[18:40] Philip
    It splashed us,
[18:42] Philip
    and was then ignited by the enemy's heat ray.
[18:44] Philip
    Alcohol is highly combustible, after all.
[18:47] Shotaro
    Sounds to me
[18:49] Shotaro
    like if we go on the attack,
    we can start a little fire ourselves!
[19:04] Shotaro
    What the hell is going on here?
[19:06] Shotaro
    This whole time...
[19:08] Shotaro
    It's like none of our attacks
    are having any effect!
[19:11] Shotaro
    Even with all the fire!
[19:13] Philip
    Shotaro, have you ever
    fought a drunk before?
[19:17] Shotaro
    With my job?
    All the damn time, pal.
[19:20] Philip
    Then you know how dangerous they can be.
[19:22] Philip
    Alcohol has a numbing effect on pain
     once it permeates the system.
[19:27] Philip
    Even injury can prove little
    hindrance to a drunken rampage.
[19:30] Shotaro
    You're saying the Dopant's immune to pain?!
[19:34] Alcohol
    Oh, I feel great!
[19:36] Shotaro
    Well, this is one hell of a problem.
[19:39] Philip
    A fearsome foe indeed.
[19:51] Shotaro
    Just ran off, huh?
[19:53] Philip
    I don't see any sign of footprints
    on the snowfield.
[19:58] Philip
    Which means that the Dopant
    responsible for this murder...
[20:01] Philip
    is someone inside of this mansion.
[20:10] Philip
    This killer became a Dopant; a monster,
    transformed by a Gaia Memory.
[20:15] Shotaro
    We handle Gaia Memory
    cases pretty regularly.
[20:18] Shotaro
    We'd appreciate it if you'd let us
    take charge, given what's happened.
[20:22] Philip
    It can be away from the eyes
    of Mr. Kuya Kagamino,
[20:25] Philip
    but we need to know the identities
    of the women in attendance.
[20:29] Philip
    We are disturbingly short
    on details, at the moment.
[20:31] Shotaro
    We'll need a word with you two, as well.
[20:34] Kiku
    Well, I suppose as long
    as Kuya doesn't see them...
[20:39] Kiku
    It might be for the best.
[20:41] Kuya
    I say we let them handle it, Grandmother.
[20:43] Kurumi
    Hang on!
[20:44] Kurumi
    Hypothetically... like, just imagine?
[20:46] Kurumi
    Say the monster shows up again
[20:48] Kurumi
    and kills all the other
    bride candidates... except one.
[20:51] Kurumi
    Even if you didn't like that last one...
[20:53] Kei
    What are you even talking about?
[20:55] Kurumi
    Would you still choose her?
[20:58] Kurumi
    When she might be the killer?
[21:00] Kuya
    A foolish question.
[21:02] Kuya
    You're talking to a man
    who's prepared to marry
[21:04] Kuya
    a woman whose face he's never even seen,
     before even knowing her identity.
[21:08] Kuya
    Any girl who survives this
    might be scarier than a monster.
[21:11] Kuya
    You're damn right I'd marry her.
[21:15] Kurumi
    Awesome!
[21:17] Philip
    No one involved in this arrangement is sane.
[21:20] Shotaro
    Kanna.
[21:25] Shotaro
    Once Kuya took his leave,
[21:28] Shotaro
    we got the details on everyone's identities.

[22:17] Shotaro
    An unremarkable office worker
    at a pharmaceutical company.
[22:21] Shotaro
    Given the other ladies'
    more bewitching charms,
[22:24] Shotaro
    I couldn't help but wonder how someone like
    her got mixed up in this weird ritual.
[22:31] Shotaro
    Plus...
[22:32] (Flashback) Kanna
    Save me, Mr. Detective!
[22:34] (Flashback) Kanna
    If you don't... I know I'll...
[22:38] Shotaro
    Maybe that was her trying to warn
    me about what would happen.
[22:43] Shotaro
    I should've pressed her on the issue,
    even if it meant ignoring the others.
[22:49] Shotaro
    If only I'd done that...
[22:52] Shotaro
    Maybe we could've kept
    things to just one victim.

    I am a cat. My name is Mick.
[24:35] Mick
    My favorite dish was
[24:37] Mick
    the acqua pazza served by the head
    chef of the Sonozaki estate.
[24:40] Mick
    I can't expect that kind of food
    at this detective agency.
[24:44] Mick
    Especially with a chief like this.
[24:44] Akiko
    I've got this feeling I need to
    prepare some new slipper phrases.
[24:47] Mick
    There's no chance.
[24:48] Akiko
    Maybe if I start writing
    it'll come to me?
[24:50] Akiko
    "What the heck?!"
[24:50] Mick
    I could say that.
[24:51] Akiko
    "Un-friggin-believable!"
[24:52] Mick
    You are, yes.
[24:54] Akiko
    Oh, that's it!
[24:55] Mick
    What's this? I'm honestly curious.
[24:55] Akiko
    The one you use at the very end!
[24:57] Mick
    What is it, then?
