Weretiger is ordered by Medusa to go after the Gate Toshie Nito, which is Kosuke Nito's no-nonsense grandmother who came to Tokyo to take Kosuke back to their home in the Fukui Prefecture. His first attempt was failed due to stopped by Kamen Rider Wizard and Beast.
With aid from Gremlin, posing as a bus driver, Weretiger reveals Kosuke's identity as Kamen Rider Beast to Toshie as she willingly offers herself as a sacrifice to nourish her grandson.
Just as the trade of the captured Shunpei for Toshie take place, Weretiger tries to push Toshie into despair by killing her grandson, but Haruto intervenes and he and Kosuke fight Weretiger and Gremlin, with the latter getting his Beast Driver back.
