Finding Phoenix being seemingly serene after his defeat by Kamen Rider Wizard on Christmas Eve, Medusa notices a strange youth as Wiseman appears and dispatches the Phantom Manticore to find out who the presumed Gate is. When the youth is about to eat, Manticore and his Ghouls make their move when Haruto intervenes. With the youth forcefully dragged off by Rinko and Shunpei, Kamen Rider Wizard proceeds to defeat the Ghouls before turning his attention to Manticore in Land Style.
