Kamen Rider W (Double) Series discussion

[Bobby]

It looks like a Muppet on steroids.

It looks like a Muppet on steroids.

Yes, one of the most ugliest thing we've seen in a while.

[Toku Warrior]

Well, at least it looks better than the T-Rex and Sweets Dopants. But the T-Rex dopant just had that evil sauciness to her.

[Bobby]

It's hard to tell if this one is male or female. But Sweets & T-Rex were cool looking. I did think T-Rex was corny looking initially. If you guys recall.

[Mike123]

I think that in the future, they should make the Dopant's evil voice in the same gender as its user.

That way, it wouldn't seem that they're going out of their way to make it suspenseful of who's the true culprit since no one can suspect the other gender because of the Dopant's voice.

[Bobby]

Yeah. Some of us thought Sweets was a dude. It was a bitch.

[Toku Warrior]

Maybe, but that's why KR W is a detective based Kamen Rider. What kind of mystery would it be if he was able to narrow the suspect by gender via the dopant voice?

Most Dopants keeps the same voice they had when they use the Gaia Memories but some have a certain powersurge that adds on its own unique voice probably. In any case, it makes for a more interesting mystery and it forces both Shotarou and Philip to pull out all the stops in figuring out a case.

well i watched 14 finally.

it's getting pretty good actually!

I'm starting to enjoy this series.

I like the character development.

and it seems pretty obvious to me from the way this episode has panned out, it seems to me that philippe is wakana's little brother.

i guess we'll find out in time eh?

I think i'm gonna start watching this as they are subbed.

[Bobby]

What made me suspect that the Sonozaki Clan is Philippe's family was the flashback he had after the Money Dopant said "Family".

[*Jess♥]

ah nice one bobby, seems like you're really 'on the ball' with this series.

I had never considered it that far back.

[Bobby]

A guy like Terror Dopant would have wanted a son to carry on the family name. So that's another idea.

[Tales]

I was thinking that the Claydoll would start to have second thoughts of being a Dopant.

[*Jess♥]

yeah you could be right.

W is getting interesting now. the character on the 'bad' side are actually interesting characters and it seems a lot of the character development is cross party.

[Toku Warrior]

Damn, Eps.27 is now driving the series to a great pick up point. The Memories seem to be evolving over time, thus stronger Dopant (as we saw with the Bird Memory). Now the Weather Dopant is here and he is kicking ass and taking names from both W and Accel.

Spoiler alert

It seems that philip is afraid of something when Shotarou suggests using one of the elemental memories of theirs in a Memory Break. Shotarou doesn't know why but when Weather is about to kill Ryu, Shotarou goes against Philip's warning and inserts the Heat Memory into the Breaker slot on his belt, thus causing W to scream in pain and to become engulfed in flames.

Damn this series is better then Decade, Den-O and Kiva combined. It really keeps ya wondering.

[*Jess♥]

wow, i really need to catch up!

that's what i get for turning into a narutard XD

I didn't read the spoiler so it's ok.^^/ thanks for continuing that dude, it's good to see we are safe from harm

[Toku Warrior]

NP. That spoiler basically only pertains to Eps.27 anyway.

but from the looks of it, we might be seeing the appearance of both Accel Trial Form and Cyclone-Joker Extreme Form probably by Mid may at the latest.

[Toku Warrior]

Well, Eps.32 was really interesting. It seems that shotarou-tachi yet find some resolve for this case in partciular.

For those wondering, Philip's power is evolving and Shotarou can't keep up. this is why we see those electrical surges around W's body at times. SHROUD tells Philip early on....about an episode or two back....that Philip should stay away from him as Shotarou may lead to Philips' destruction.

Let's just say, Shotarou get's his act together via a nice speach from Philip and the two-in-one Rider get's his butt back in memory using gear. This episode is one fo the few that also used two Dopants as villains but this is the first time I've seen two Dopant fight as a team so well. It makes the duo of Taboo and Nazca look crappy.

We also get to see the debut of CYCLONE-JOKER Extreme form. The process which brings forth the Phoenix Extreme Memory is very touching so I won't mention any more on that part.

The Prism Shield/Sword weapon is also an amazing weapon. The last time I saw a weapon with such power was the Hyper Sword from KR Kabuto.

It can also utilize the Quantle-Maximum Drive (I made the name up on the spot). This allows for 4 of the purified Gaia memories that W uses to be slotted into the shield. Each one going into MD mode. He can then either use the shield or sword for a MD finish.

The transformation sequence from W to C-J Extreme Form is also pretty well done.

Sorta a spoiler but more of an informational view.....

And, what we thought was once a white center which supposedly represented FANG is actually the Prism energy of the transformation taking a solid form....from what I can gather.

this episode also showed something unexpected. At the end we get yet another trailer for the Chou Den-O Trilogy movies and it seems that Diend

will be getting a Complete Form of his own. Judging from the card he has in his hands in the trailer clip, the 8 Riders, yes only 8, he uses are well....I can only make out these ones:

Ryuuga

Orga

L'Arc (that's the gold Rider from Blade: Missing Ace right?)

Arc

G3

Ibuki (I think)

Caucusus (is that even right....the KR Kabuto movie.....the one with the golden horn acsent on his mask...also used in Chou Den-O movie 1)

??? (can't make out the last one.)

this episode really brought some nice things to the table.

[Toku Warrior]

Here's the video clip with CJ-Xtreme. It's also subtitled....somewhat descently.

I'll place it within a spoiler tag incase no one want to view it.

Love KM W, so far its my favorite series even tho i have only seen 3 kamen rider series right now (W, dragon knight and Den-O), i love how the story develops and even like the annoying characters too for some weird reason , i did hated Ryu but surprisingly he had the most change out of all the characters and i like the dude now, at first he was a total tool but later he turned into one of the most coolest characters i have seen, too bad i don't like his costume that much, it could have been better. BTW, can anybody clarify what is the special property of the Joker Memory? i know what the other memories do but i don't get the purpose of the Joker memory aside of looking cool and having a kickass voice when they are going to use the Joker button (I swear i can't get enough of the guy saying Joker every time they use it, it sounds awesome)

[Bobby]

Hand-to-hand combat. The Fighting Memory.

[odin]

Hand-to-hand combat. The Fighting Memory.

okidoki, i thought it had a special ability aside from that thanks for the clarification

[TheAptomStrain]

Has anyone noticed that Double's HardBoiler and Kabuto's Kabuto Extender are the same bike? Not the same year obviously, But definitely the same model.

I even looked it up. They're both Honda CBR1000RR's.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CBR1000RR

[Bobby]

I was right about Philip being the Terror Dopant's son and the Taboo & Clay Doll Dopants' little brother!!!!!!

[Toku Warrior]

I think most of us following the series so far already knew that before hand by now.

Also, Odin, though the Joker memory is a hand-to-hand combat type of memory, it's also known as the Ultimate Trump.

[Bobby]

I suspected it early in the series. Namely during the Money episodes.
