Line 1:
{{tropework}}
* A big Meta Awesome to Seiji Takaiwa and Makoto Itō, both of whom have done the suit work for Double and manage to convey with their body language that there's two people making up this rider. Check out [[Kamen Rider Double/Funny|the series Crowning Moment of Funny page]] for a few stand outs where conveying there are two minds in there sells the joke, and there's a few examples here too.
* Double and Dango's [[Dance Battler|dance-battle]] session at the "[[Kamen Rider Double/Recap/E7E07 E8E08 Find the C|Find the C]]" arc climax; {{spoiler|they were <s> matching</s> overwhelming a super-speed Dopant, which previously snatched ''four'' of Double's Gaia Memories like candy from a kid, all the way ''without a pause''}}. The dance music only added more points to the scene.
** [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Doubles]] as a Funny moment when, as it begins, Shotaro is flabbergasted. "Are you serious?! We're in the middle of a fight here!!"
* Akiko channeling her father's spirit while protecting her client in "[[Kamen Rider Double/Recap/E 9E09 E10 The S Terror|The S Terror]]".
** This needs to be explained. The Sweets Dopants is spitting out sticky goo and about to go for the client. What does Akiko do? She gets a chair and screams, "I WON'T LET YOU HURT MY CLIENT!" and literally hits the Dopants with the chair so hard that ''it breaks''.
* Shotaro going hard-boiled in ''[[Recap/Kamen Rider Decade Double The Movie Movie War 2010|Begins Night]]'', punching out {{spoiler|the fake Sokichi/Skull}} - while untransformed, busting his knuckles open - and delivering a [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] while finally accepting that {{spoiler|this Sokichi is a fake, and the real one lives on in his heart}}.
* Akiko in "[[Kamen Rider Double/Recap/E 15E15 E16 The F Afterglow|The F Afterglow]]". {{spoiler|Arms Dopant has put Shotaro and Akiko in a [[Nightmare Fuel|simple sadistic trap]]. Akiko's bloody hands as she desperately tries to keep Shotaro from falling says it all.}}
** {{spoiler|Fang's last second rescue when her grip finally slips, followed by Philip pulling a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment.}}
** For Double's suit actor. {{spoiler|Watching as Shotaro, trapped in Phillips body with his crazed partner, tries to use the Joker half to restrain Fang's fury, makes you truely appreciate the skill it takes to convey the two-in-one Rider's nature. Even something as simple as using the right (Fang) side of the body more agressively conveys volumes about the state of minds Double is in. }}
** {{spoiler|1=Shotaro retrieving Philip's mind from the [[Berserker Rage]] of the FangJoker form; also [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] - the two of them are, indeed, one Kamen Rider.}}
* Accel chasing down the [[Kamen Rider Double/Recap/E 19E19 E20 The I Doesn't Stop|Ice Age Dopant]] in Bike Form over street. Ice, hills, and even a rollercoaster
* "[[Recap/Kamen Rider Double E 27 E 28 The D Was Seen|The D was Seen]]" saw Philip do the impossible and {{spoiler|1=outwit Weather, denying him the Invisible Memory before bailing out Terui with FangJoker ''before'' coordinating a Double Maximum Drive that reversed a gigantic tornado.}}
* The [[Recap/Kamen Rider Double E 31 E 32 The B Carried On The Wind|first appearance]] of '''{{color|green|CCyclone}}Joker {{color|silver|XXtreme}}''' certainly counts. Especially since his finisher uses ''four'' Maximum Drives.
* [[Two Words: Obvious Trope|Two words]]: '''{{color|mediumblue|AAccel Trial}}'''.
** Which sadly did not figure into the CMoA that happened during the real battle against Terror. Trial got RULED by the Terror Dragon so he had to improvise a way to fight it on other terms, so he brings in the HARDBOILDER's Turbuler attachment. Cue him using Double's bike attachments to supplement his original mode to great effect.
* The fight at the end of [[Recap/Kamen Rider Double E 45 E 46 What K Needs|46]]. If you weren't pumped up, you are a zombie.
Line 24:
** Not to mention {{spoiler|Phillip coming [[Back From the Dead]], then working with Shotaro to become Cyclone-Joker once again to finish off the Energy Dopant, as the final credits roll to the series theme WBX.}}
** Let's not forget the very last lines of the ''Double'' TV series:
{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Phillip:''' You haven't forgotten the [[Catch Phrase]], have you Shotaro?}}<br />
{{spoiler|'''Shotaro:''' Of course not, Phillip! All those who make this city cry shall forever hear our call:}}<br />
{{spoiler|'''Double:''' ''([[Character Tics|hand gesture]])'' Now, count up your crimes!}} }}
* Comparing movie clips to the series however is like comparing diesel to nitro. If {{spoiler|Sokichi}} ever needed to prove his badassness then he passed with flying colors.
Line 31:
** The villain has essentially won, BUT the entire city gathers at the site of the battle and chant "KAMEN RIDER" over and other again until {{spoiler|"the winds of Fuuto" give Double their [[Incredibly Lame Pun|second wind]] in the form of wings, they unleash their ultimate Rider Kick on Eternal, destroying him forever and utterly destroying the tower they're fighting on.}}
** Also from [[The Movie]], Phillip's [[I Am What I Am]] moment.
{{quote| '''Philip''': I am human, a Detective, and also......KAMEN RIDER!!<br />
'''Shotaro''': Hey, partner. Don't you mean "we?"<br />
'''Philip''': Yeah, you're right. *Cyclone*<br />
'''Shotaro''': *Joker* }}
** Don't forget {{spoiler|Shotaro kicking asses as Kamen Rider Joker}}
** Double cycling through ALL OF HIS FORMS in his final battle against Eternal.
* The intro to Kamen Rider Accel's V-Cinema. Words can't explain [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCeYTUWWqs0&feature=player_embedded how freaking awesome it is.]
** The sequence of Ryu busting Mook ass armed only with his gun and his fists, then [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Jinno]] stumbles his way into the warehouse... I cried tears of during the whole affair.
** About that, the entire '''{{color|gold|AAccel Booster}}''' fight:
*** After Commander sends Akiko falling to her death, Ryu tries to dash over to save her in normal Accel form but can't do it as well due to his right leg being essentially shattered from a previous fight. Upon obtaining the Gaia Memory Enhancing Adapter, he activates his Booster form in a similar way to Trial. Cue [[Most Wonderful Sound|jet engine noises]] as he flies to Akiko and catches her. Thus begins the fight between Accel Booster and Commander in an [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTbWl2ezVI0 absolutely amazing climax]. Oh, and he dehenshins in time to walk away suitless as Commander explodes behind him.
* Katsumi Daido/Kamen Rider Eternal and NEVER vs the Eyes Dopant. Seeing what Eyes Dopant did in the V Cinema, it is ''satisfying'' to see how the later got his ass handed to Katsumi. {{spoiler|After the Dopant kills some people Katsumi helped escape, Katsumi releases an insane laughter and delivers a very powerfull [[Death Glare]]. Then he calmly admits his defeat and tells the Eyes Dopant that he forgot [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|everyone is a devil]]. This moment alone tells the viewer asskicking is about to happen.}}
** And the fight against Jun Kazu/Utopia Dopant before. After Katsumi transformed, he CURBSTOMPED Kazu to death (literally).
* In episode 12 just as the [[Monster of the Week|Monster of the two weeks]] is defeated the one who's really to blame for the events of the virus dopant arc [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v-cuUU9fYw gets his just deserts]
* Movie War Megamax gives us Shotaro and Philip doing their thing very well, even if they're not as focused on as [[Kamen Rider OOO|OOO]] and [[Kamen Rider Fourze (TV)|Fourze]] are.
** After learning that Philip is too engrossed looking up stuff on Foundation X, Shotaro decides to break out the Lost Driver again and kick ass as Kamen Rider Joker.
** When Kamen Rider W finally shows up back in action, he beats down four Zodiart monsters with little to no effort, accompanied by his theme song.
