Synopsis

Kamen Rider (2012), Season 23 swaps medals and switches for spellcasting rings — a 53-episode urban fantasy you can watch online on iFILM.

People born with strong magic are called Gates, and creatures known as Phantoms hunt them, hatching from a victim's despair. Haruto Souma, once a Gate himself, becomes Kamen Rider Wizard and plants himself between the Phantoms and the people they prey on, guarding their hope. A hot-tempered second magician, Kosuke, joins the fight as Kamen Rider Beast, while a mysterious White Wizard and the secret of the Philosopher's Stone hang over everything. Hope keeps getting more expensive.

What sets this run apart is how it ties its ring gimmick to a theme of holding on; the ending wanders somewhere you won't predict. Stream Kamen Rider Season 23 online on iFILM.
