Underworld

This article is about a location in Kamen Rider Wizard.

"So here is the Underworld of (Gate's name)..."

―Wizard and Beast's first word upon arrives at a Gate's Underworld.^[src]

An Underworld (アンダーワールド, Andāwārudo) is the subconscious of a human, also known as their Inner World (精神世界, Seishin Sekai). When a Gate gives in to despair, their magic core becomes corrupted and forms into an Inner Phantom, which then emerges and proceeds to tear down the host's Underworld before destroying the host itself. Able to assume its host's form, the Phantom proceeds to seek out more Gates and place them deep in despair to repeat the cycle.

When a Phantom causes a Gate to fall into despair, Wizard or Beast can use the Engage Magic Ring to travel into their Underworld to destroy the new Phantom before it can emerge, stripping the Gate of their magical potential and saving their life. To destroy the Phantom in the Underworld, Wizard and Beast require the assistance of their own Inner Phantoms, WizarDragon and Beast Chimera.

List of Underworlds

• Main Character
• Other Gates

• Haruto Soma's Underworld is represented by his memories of his parents' deaths. First shown after he visited it himself to gain access to Flame Dragon, then later after his Underworld was invaded by the Phantom Legion. In The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle, it is invaded by the Ogre Phantom (via Legion's power) and with the ChiChin Pui Pui ring, Haruto is able to enter his own Underworld. This time, his Underworld is represented by his memories of Koyomi.
• When Kosuke Nitoh obtained the Beast Driver, and again when he obtained the Hyper Ring/Mirage Magnum and before his final battle with Fueki, he spoke with Chimera in what can be presumed to be his own Underworld, a formless black and gold void with stars. Presumably, because Nitoh is either not a true Gate (having a Phantom implanted in him via his Driver) or never had his real Phantom emerge, he lacks a true Underworld.
• After Rinko Daimon was forced into despair by the Phantom Minotauros, Wizard went into her Underworld and destroyed her Inner Phantom Jabberwock. Represented by her childhood memories of her late father. ^{[The Ringed Wizard]}
