Story

"The magic rings, the Wizard Rings. They shine on both hands of the modern mage as he changes despair into hope."
―Narrator[src]

A mysterious ceremony held on the day of a solar eclipse released demons called Phantoms into the world. Haruto Soma, a survivor of the ritual, obtains mystical powers and receives the Wizardriver belt and Wizard Rings from a mysterious White Wizard, so he may protect the hopes of the people, as Kamen Rider Wizard. Later on, a man named Kosuke Nitoh appears as the "ancient wizard" Kamen Rider Beast to feed on the Phantom's magical power to survive and becomes both a rival and ally to Haruto.

Notes

  • With 53 episodes in total (including 2 post-finale episodes which serve as the TV special), Kamen Rider Wizard is considered the longest Heisei-era Rider series in history, beating Kamen Rider Agito's record of 51 episodes. If the specials didn't count as episodes, however, then Wizard's episode count record would have been tied with Agito's.
  • In this title series, the Kamen Rider is often called as "Magicians", save for a crossover movie.
  • This is the first series to have the opening be sung by a male singer since Kamen Rider Decade.
  • This was the last Kamen Rider Series until Kamen Rider Build to premiere in September.
