Story
Haruto and Kamen Rider Wizard confront a mysterious Golden Magician who abducted Koyomi to perform a ritual. They fail to stop it, and the Magician uses the Create Ring to summon a rainbow tornado that engulfs everything around them. Haruto and Koyomi wake up the next day and find themselves in a different world where magic is commonplace. They find Shunpei and learn that he does not recognize them.
Haruto learns that citizens' mana is used as currency. Alongside other citizens, Rinko defeats an army of Ghouls without the help of Koyomi or Haruto. Rinko doesn't recognize the two and arrests them. He brings them to Emperor Maya, who lets them go after learning that Koyomi is incapable of using magic. Afterward, they search for the Golden Magician but instead find Kosuke Nitoh, who reveals that he uses a handmade Beast Driver that does not need to consume Phantoms to sustain itself.
Haruto and Koyomi stumble across a Magic Ring Shop (a counterpart of Okagedomo Antique Shop). Wajima introduces them to his worker, Shiina, and he offers them shelter. Shiina runs away after being told their situation, and Wajima reveals that Shiina's mother, among others, was taken away by a giant rainbow tornado. Elsewhere, Shiina watches as the Golden Magician engulfs a group of dancers in a rainbow tornado and chases him. He is led to a group of alternate counterparts of Phantom Generals, and he begins to fight them. Haruto and Koyomi find Shiina and save him from the Phantoms.
Shiina awakens and tells them that he saw the Golden Magician retreat to Maya's castle. Haruto and Kosuke sneak into the castle and discover that the Emperor is using a machine, which contains the corpse of Shiina's mother, to drain the citizens' mana. The duo is discovered, and Sorcerer appears and attacks them. They transform, and Beast helps Wizard escape to expose the Emperor's plot. Sorcerer overpowers Beast and vanquishes him. Shiina returns to the shop and discovers that he can no longer use magic, which Koyomi tells him is the result of Haruto's actions to save him. Haruto is unable to convince the citizens of Emperor Maya's plan, as he has already made propaganda smearing Haruto.
Haruto escapes a group of guards who try to capture him and returns to the castle. He gets overwhelmed by the guards but is saved by Kosuke, who survived Sorcerer's attack. Haruto enters Maya's chambers, and he reveals to Haruto that he is not a magician and activates the machine, draining the citizens' mana and causing them to suffer. Sorcerer enters the chamber and reveals himself to be the Golden Magician. Haruto removes the Common Ring from the Emperor and shatters it. The Magicians transform and fight each other. Wizard defeats Sorcerer, and Magic Land begins to vanish. Before returning to his world, Wizard tells Maya that they will meet again. Haruto and Koyomi wake up and confirm that they are in the correct world. They go to the park and see Maya with his family and Shiina with his mother.[4][5]
