The Terrible m/Wings of Death

is the fourth episode of Fuuto PI. 
==Synopsis==
When a popular video game company's idol-spokeswoman/head developer starts receiving death threats, the Narumi Detective Agency is brought in to protect her.
==Plot==
One morning, Tokime enters the detective agency and sees Philip, but the latter's attitude seemed to upset her. 
Shotaro and Akiko are called into a video game company called Maxsoft, where they investigate a death threat sent to Megu Kazamatsuri, who serves as the company's idol and campaign girl for their game Monster El Dorado. Privately, Majima tells Shotaro and Megu's true identity is actually Monako Moriguchi, Majima's geeky subordinate and lead developer of Monrado. Their request is for Shotaro to protect Monako as Megu as they don't want the game's upcoming third anniversary festivities to be disrupted. 
Akiko decides to stake out the promotional venue while Shotaro checks in with Phillip at the detective agency, but walks into a very intense situation with Tokime and Phillip leering at each other and arguing. After Phillip heads to the garage, still building a device, Shotaro goes over the case with him and tries to calm the two down from their argument by talking to them but has no success.
At the promotional event, Monako is scared and doesn’t want to perform to such a large crowd and Majima is nowhere to be found. She wants to go back to coding the game and finishing development of the new content, as she never wanted to be an idol. But a little reassurance from Shotaro that he will protect her and the cheering crowd convince her to perform and sing on stage. 
The concert abruptly comes to a halt as an insect Dopant attacks the stage and after restraining Shotaro, kidnaps Monako, planning to kill her soon after. 
Shotaro instructed Tokime to reach into his vest pocket and activate the Stag Phone’s Beetle Mode to cut his bonds. He makes it to the amphitheater rooftop and uses the Stag Phone again to block the attack meant for Monako. He then confronts the Dopant with Phillip as Double CycloneJoker. Phillip identifies the Dopant as the Meganura Dopant, based on an ancient species of dragonfly from the time of the dinosaurs. It proves to be too fast and dangerous for Double to use close quarter combat, so Phillip suggests a ranged attack strategy. Shotaro then switches to CycloneTrigger. 
During the battle with the Meganura Dopant, Aurora observes from a distance, apparently aware of Double’s powers and Memories. 
Double uses a Maximum Drive, the Trigger Storm Bomb, to try and put an end to Meganura’s rampage while Akiko checks on Monako and Tokime, only to be knocked down by an explosion. Much to the Two In One Detectives surprise, Meganura withstood a Maximum Drive and resumes attacking, now more berserk than ever. Meganura generates a gravity field to prevent Tokime and Akiko from escaping with Monako and immobilizes Double, appearing to stab Shotaro’s body in the chest but it is blocked by the now damaged Trigger Magnum.
Aurora continues to observe and mentions that the person using the Meganura Memory is possibly a “High Dope”, a rarity among Dopants and he takes interest in the person.
Double switches to CycloneMetal to boost their defense and block Meganura’s blades with the Metal Shaft but is slowed down by the gravity field. Phillip doesn’t understand why Meganura is so powerful, as it doesn’t fit the normal parameters of what the Meganura Memory can do.
Tokime is placed in a trance by Aurora to come to him, causing her to abandon Monako and leave her vulnerable to Meganura. Shotaro snaps her out of it and recklessly shields Monako, resulting in his back being gored by Meganura’s blades. This turned out to be part of his quick improvised strategy though as it would keep Meganura in a fixed position to strike back, he then uses the Metal Stag Break at close range to blast Meganura, who then escapes.
Aurora decides to leave Tokime be, as he is more interested in Double and the Meganura Dopant’s ability to resist the hero’s attacks.
Shotaro speaks with Tokime about the importance of protecting a client and orders Akiko to put Monako in Ryu’s protective custody. He then collapses from his injuries and is bleeding badly. The Doubledriver is still attached to him, so Phillip is aware of his partner’s condition and becomes distraught.

===Hard-boiled Delusion Diary <What If I Was Philip and Philip Was Me>===
Shotaro and Phillip’s souls have switched bodies and the two hope a Dopant doesn’t show up as they are not sure how things will work out. A Road Dopant appears and the two try to transform, but their arms cross into an “X” instead of forming a “W” because both are used to being positioned on the opposite sides. Upon mentioning the “X”, Shotaro in Phillip’s body shouts “SET UP!” repeatedly, which causes Kamen Rider X to appear on his Cruiser and then drive off.

==Notes==
*Adapted from: Chapters 9-11
*Eyecatcher: Tokime
*This episode contains various references to Uma Musume Pretty Derby, an anime of which its second season was also animated by Studio Kai: 
**Information and terms regarding horse racing are shown on a whiteboard in Philip's room.
**Monako, Midori, Meganeura Dopant and 2 members of Team Megutan are all voiced by voice actor/actresses who each have starring roles in Uma Musume Pretty Derby. 
*Monako's "transformation" into Megu is a parody of traditional magical-girl transformation sequences, with Team Megutan dressing her instead of her outfit just magically appearing.
*A new insert song titled Let's go ahead by Machico was played during the episode. Machico performs the song in-character as Monaka while cosplaying as Megu.
*Shotaro says he cannot transform except with Philip, yet he is fully capable of transforming on his own using a Lostdriver. However, he was referring to Double at the time and not Joker.
*This episode marked the anime debuts of CycloneTrigger and CycloneMetal. Furthermore during Yukiji's explanations of Double's forms, both FangJoker and CycloneJokerXtreme appear silhouetted as he refers them as "secret trump cards." It also introduced the Memory Gadgets to new viewers.
*It features the first appearance of Tokimei's (currently incomplete) Stag Phone.
*The episode's end segment ends with a cameo appearance from Kamen Rider X. X’s theme song from his show is also referenced as a gag.
*Genm Corp. is written on the whiteboard as a company that rivals Maxsoft.

*The other in-game character of MonRado, Oboromaru, appears on stage to fight Megu during her song performance before the appearance of the Meganeura Dopant.
*The Meganeura knocks out one of the lights before attacking Megu.
