Kamen Rider W Finale
In just 2 more episodes, one of the best Heisei era Rider series ends. And now, we get an early preview for the finale...
So, it seems that Kazu will get his sorry butt kicked by episode 48 and just as Philip said, looks like it'll come true seeing as how Shotaro is Kamen Rider Joker by the finale preview. Episode 49 will probably be the first time that a series epilogue would be an episode length one. Looks sad, doesn't it? Shotaro being shot at the back by a dopant similarly to how Narumi Sokichi was shot in the 1st episode. Will it be a good ending? Well, all in 2 weeks due, I guess. Can't believe this great series is already ending :(

Dance Move - Terror
And so... the preparation for Begins Night
has finally begun!
Well, after failing to do some semi-spoiler like shorts for Kamen Rider W last month, now I go for a 7-10 semi-spoiler but then again. Probably a lot has watched already.
Anyway, for W 7-8, the case starts with someone throwing a rock at Narumi Agency's window with a request for them to go to a specific place saying that a suspicious character would pop-up. Meanwhile, Philip does his regular lookups and sees a book he cannot open, titled Heaven's Tornado. And so, amazingly the series of events lead to the same people involved while in the run, the cockroach dopant shows claiming itself to be a hero who eliminates those who give pain to others. Later on, we are given that the Heaven's Tornado can't be shown since the "client", Dango, needs a partner and they had an argument and things got worse when Cockroach dopant reveals it was Dango's request why he is after his partner, Chizuru. A lots of things happen and Heat, Luna, Metal and Trigger memories were stolen, Philip solves the problem and opens the book, thus using Heaven's Tornado as a way to defeat the Cockroach Dopant, by dancing it. Pretty much of the more important things to note her is the appearance of Mikku, Ryuubei's cat, in Dopant form attacking Philip during the investigation.
Now for episodes 9 and 10, we are shown a lot of flashback from the 1st episodes event with Shoutaro and Philip calling it begins night, most likely to prepare us for the upcoming movie. The case this time is about disappearing patisseries working in the Sonoozaki household, and Akiko decides to go undercover, not knowing that a Dopant also lies in the mansion. Shoutaro tries to stop Akiko at many times here and shares some of his experiences with his boss, Akiko's father. Due to Akiko's meddling, the Dopant reveals itself later on as the Sweets Dopant and kidnaps both Akiko and their client, while Double tries to save them, more commanders show up and attack him, particularly Nazca and Taboo, but manages to escape and save Akiko on time, later on as Akiko defends their client, Shoutaro sees his boss in her. Double finishes the dopant with Joker Grenade, Maximum Drive of Heat Joker.
For more expansion of his powers, Luna can be used as a maximum drive for the bat shot, which reveals hidden enemies while bat shot can also attach to metal shaft and become sonic shaft. More important notes at episodes 9-10 is that Terror finally shows and had all of them escape in no time leaving Shoutaro all shaky after his safe escape. And one more thing is seeing the previous dopants' memories in the museum's display.

Lies
Luna Trigger Form
Sorry again for the late update.
Well, for one, the case this time is to to protect a certain woman who's a politician with a plan to construct a second tower in the city. It turns out she's being targetted because of it and of course, by a dopant. This case has a lot of lies going on with a kid, not knowing her father's dead already and sees Double as her dad. Really cute though XD Well, due to Shoutaro's "half-boiled" style, he does something quite cute for the kid and Philip was a big help. Just watch it to find out.
Well, this arc also features the first appearance of the Trigger Memory, as well as the Luna Trigger form. Luna Trigger is awesome, much much better than Wanted's bullet curving, lol! Also the arc features Kirihiko and Shoutaro's first encounter as well as the first duel of Nasca with Double. Well, Nasca lost big time, sorry for spoiling but this is just a short portion. Another new feature in the arc is that the memory gadgets can be fueled up with Philip's Gaia memories as it's Maximum Drive where as Shoutaro's Memories are for Double to access his Maximum Drives.
Just waiting for Episode 8 to come out so I can make another update.

Kazoku
Well, one major problem of Double is introduced in episode 3
Sorry for the really late post, if anyone's reading it anyway XD
Well, a quick recap of episodes 3-4, this case is about the existence of a casino that is said to really bring luck to people, but most likely, a dopant is behind this all. The Dopant this time is using a money gaia memory. And while chasing after the Money Dopant, Double encounters a problem, it seems that once the sync of the two gets disturbed Double ceases to function properly and this is done by the Money Dopant by inscribing the word "kazoku" or family which greatly affects Philip.
Kirihiko, which I theorized to be a new Rider on the last W update turns out to be just another Dopant, but the Sonozaki family it seems has belts before plugging on their Gaia Memories. Well, along the way, the scene jumps back to the Sonozaki family to let you see the events there, not pretty much important though. By the end, Philip finds a way to conquer his out of focus dilemma when hearing the word kazoku. What that is, I won't spoil, just watch it. XD Anyway, I've watched episode 5's raw already and Trigger finally gets to be used.

Half-Boiled
Heat Metal Form
Here's a little catch on episode 2, sorry it's a bit late. XD
Well, episode 2 continues from where we left at episode 1, with the appearance of the T-Rex Dopant. Well, certain turn of events I won't spoil so much but they did introduce something interesting though, which is having conflicts being two detectives as one. You'll just have to find out what conflict it was.
As far as Double's gadgets are concerned, it looks like they have more Gaia Memories than the 6 expected, in episode 2, Shotaro plugs a Bat and Stag Gaia Memory on his camera and other gadget, which turned them alive into a Kivat and Gatack Zecter like entities. Lol! Well, aside from that, Double's cycle also splits in half and his gigantic car carries the parts, his gadgets are really amazing.
Lastly would be that it is probably Shotaro only who can henshin while in Rider form, Philip's side is more on natural powers while Shotaro's side focuses more on fighting style (weapons, etc.) Before the episode ends, Akiko finally decides to go with the Detective stuff and names the agency as "Half-Boiled" instead of "Hard-Boiled", you'll find out why once you watch. And it seems there's gonna be a new Rider appearing very soon. Can't find a video yet so, I can't really show it, just watch it.
Well, that's it, hope I didn't spoil too much. :p

Two People, One Rider
The newest Kamen Rider has arrived
Yes, the 3rd Rider to be known in the 2009 is here!
Well, I've watched the raw yesterday immediately after waking up from bed. XD Well, how was it? Was it any good? Well, as far as my personal concerns:
- Philip looks like a girl.
- How will they Henshin if they're apart?
- Can this be better than Decade?
- Philip looks like a girl.
- How will they Henshin if they're apart?
- Can this be better than Decade?
Well, they've all been answered and it's only the first episode so far. As far as Philip's criticisms from people like me, let me tell you already, don't let the appearance fool you! In reality, Philip is a lot more manlier compared to Kamen Rider Decade's Daiki Kaitou (who was showing some "bending" in certain scenes with Tsukasa Kadoya, lol).
Next would be the answer to the 2nd concern is that they can henshin into W no matter how separated they are, once Shotaro decides to go for a Henshin, Philip automatically gets the belt as well to give him a sign that they must henshin on that certain moment. And yeah, somewhat Philip's soul leaves his body and enters Kamen Rider Double's other half.
Third concern. IMO this has a lot of potential of beating Decade already from the first episode, W's 1st ep. is better than Decade's if you ask me. You just get to see how awesome they are on the first fight scene. Aside from that, I just find myself liking W's costume design more and more interesting, perhaps due to the OP of the series. Hehe, the opening song is nice too. Anyway, here's the opening song for the series.
Well, with the exception of W's weird looking Rider kick, the series has already managed to impress me, even W's vehicles looks too wicked. Anyway, why do I say that W's Rider Kick is weird? Well, watch it to find out. Hehe, I won't be spoiling pretty much in this series comapred to my test run episode reviews for the later parts of Decade.
