Line 17:
** [[Amazons Attack|My God...]]
* [[Body Horror]]: Most of Double's Joker-Based finishers involve his body ''splitting in two''. '''Vertically'''.
{{quote|
* [[Broken Record]]: {{spoiler|MAXIMUM DRIVE MAXIMUM DRIVE MAXIMUM DRIVE MAXIMUM DRIVE MAXIMUM DRI-}}
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: All of Double's [[Finishing Move|Memory Breaks]], as their two halves must be in sync to use one. Shotaro [[Invoked Trope|makes up the names himself]], and Philip indulges him to allow his partner some fun.
Line 45:
*** {{color|red|Heat}}{{color|blue|Trigger}}: ''Trigger Explosion'' <ref>The Trigger Magnum fires a laser beam like flame shot, frying the target. When both Memories are used, it changes to ''HeatTrigger Supernova'', which is more powerful but the Double Driver to the point of catching Double on fire, repeatedly spouting "'''MAXIMUM DRIVE'''", and seriously injuring Double's body.</ref>
*** {{color|gold|Luna}}{{color|blue|Trigger}}: ''Trigger Full Burst'' <ref>A massive barrage of homing shots from the Trigger Magnum. Changes to a double pincer ray called ''Trigger Stag Burst'' when the Stag Phone Memory Gadget is attached to the gun.</ref>
** {{color|green|Cyclone}}Joker {{color|silver|Xtreme}}: CycloneJoker Xtreme has a total of five finishing moves.
*** ''Double Xtreme'': A tornado, larger than the one used by {{color|green|Cyclone}}Joker, lifts Double into the sky and speeds them towards the foe.
*** ''Prism Break'': A slash from the Prism Sword.
Line 114:
* [[Running Gag]]: His "Half-boiled" lifestyle, used to mock his self-proclaimed [[Hardboiled Detective|hard-boiled]] image.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: A mild version; he's somewhat competent, just not as hardboiled as he thinks he is.
* [[Spanner in the Works]]: Both to {{spoiler|Shroud's}} plans, initially and later to Ryubee's. Ironically {{spoiler|Shroud}} would end up relying on Shotaro being this to Ryubee, calling him a [[Wild Card]]. Then, he [[
{{quote|
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: His Gaia Memories provide these for Double:
** [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]: The Joker Memory, which allows Double to perform Rider Kicks/Rider Punches/Rider Chops. While Shotaro uses the T2 Joker Memory to transform into Kamen Rider Joker in [[The Movie]], he uses his normal Joker Memory in episode 49.
Line 127:
* [[Acting for Two]]: Appears in flashbacks as {{spoiler|young Katsumi Daido}} during ''Forever A to Z'' and {{spoiler|Eternal's V Cinema}}. Though this may simply be {{spoiler|[[Fridge Brilliance|Maria having all but forgotten what young Katsumi was like, and inadvertently imprinting Phillip as a]] [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]}}.
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: See [[Disguised in Drag]] below.
* {{spoiler|[[Back
* [[Big Eater]]: Philip will do this for the sake of his research.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Fascinating!"
* [[Cute Bookworm]]: Shy? Not exactly. Vulnerable? Depends. Cute and brainy? Definitely. Also [[Incredibly Lame Pun|doubles]] as [[Badass Bookworm]].
* {{spoiler|[[Dead All Along]]}}
* [[Deadly Upgrade]]: FangJoker set Philip's mind on fire at first, despite it taking the protagonists two minutes after its television debut to get proper control over it.
Line 145:
* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: Philip develops a taste for... vinegar, after Akiko used it a couple of times on him as an all-purpose elixir.
* [[Hair Decorations]]: Freakin' ''binder clips''.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Shoutaro, at least by the end. They even call each other "partner"
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic RROD]]: His body starts to disintegrate after the initial plan for Gaia Impact is ruined.}}
* [[Immortality Begins At Twenty]]: Delusion Diary #11 hints that Philip will forever remain seventeen years old because {{spoiler|he's composed of the Earth's data.}}
Line 155:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: {{spoiler|His real name is Raito Sonozaki}}. His name also references [[Raymond Chandler|Philip Marlowe]].
* [[Mysterious Waif]]
* [[Of Corpse He's Alive]]: Whenever his mind is in Double's body, Philip is unconscious, so his lifeless body is a sitting duck. In episode 7, nobody tried to interact with them, but Akiko had to make-believe they were napping sweethearts, so as not to draw attention on the bus.
* {{spoiler|[[Phlebotinum Breakdown]]: After the failed Gaia Impact, Philip's body is returning to data, hastened by transformation.}}
* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]: The {{color|green|Cyclone}} Memory comes with the iconic scarf. Double's scarf is known as the Windy Stabilizer.

* [[The Chick]]
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: She as actually quite the competent detective, when the chips are down.
Line 185:
* [[Iconic Item]]: Her slipper, of course.
* [[The Idiot From Osaka]]: Has shades of this, given her quite black and white view of the world, but she does keep Shotaro focused on the case.
* [[Kansai Regional Accent]]: Akiko refers to herself using the ''uchi-'' pronoun. It does help that her actress Hikaru Yamamoto is from Osaka just like her character.
* [[Kawaiiko]]
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: One that Shotaro doesn't want in his life.
Line 204:
* {{spoiler|[[The Atoner]]}}
{{quote|
* [[The Cast Showoff]]: Koji Kikkawa sings his own theme song.
* [[Cool Bike]]: The SkullBoilder, which is a [[Paint It Black|black version]] of the HardBoilder.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: Well, not THAT old, but you get the point.
* [[Death
* [[Finishing Move]]: ''Skull Punisher'' <ref>A Rider Shooting attack using the Skull Magnum.</ref>
** An unnamed Rider Kick executed with the Skull Memory in the Maximum Slot, which creates an energy skull that Soukichi kicks towards the Dopant.<ref>''Ganbaride'' simply calls this move "Hissatsu Kick"</ref>
*** Not to mention, the Skull summoned by [[Kamen Rider Decade|Diend Complete Form]] in ''[[Kamen Rider Den-O|Chō Den-O Trilogy: Episode Yellow]]'' performs a Rider Kick that more closely resembles the Joker Extreme.
* [[The Gunslinger]]: Skull Magnum
Line 235:

* [[Finishing Move]]: Several:
Line 271:
* [[Official Couple]]: With Akiko.
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: For the Weather Dopant
* [[The Rival]]: Subverted. Ryu was introduced in "The I Doesn't Stop" as a character whose moral stance and personality were fundamentally opposed to Shotaro's, fitting the general pattern of secondary Riders introduced in the Heisei era
* [[Sixth Ranger|Second Rider]]
* [[Super Mode]]: {{color|gold|Accel Booster}}
Line 288:
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: The Jewel Dopant arc.
* [[Actor Allusion]]: At one point he notes that Takeshi would be a nice name. Also, his use of [[Gratuitous English]] mirrors his schtick as a [[Fake American]]. And the name "Catherine" pops up later...
* [[Clear My Name]]: The subject of episodes 41-42.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: In Kamen Rider W Returns.
Line 297:
* [[Iconic Item]]: His back scratcher.

* [[Spanner in the Works]]: Doesn't even need to be in the action to fill this role in the Jewel Dopant arc.

Line 347:
* [[Evil Genius]]: Also a bit of [[The Dragon]], given that she killed off the Boss in the premiere and fights Double at times.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Saeko means cold child, and she spends the series being cold and antagonistic to Wakana.
** Nevermind how it's ''pronounced''...
* [[Palette Swap]]: {{spoiler|After losing the Taboo Memory to Mick and having her Gaia Driver destroyed, she starts to use Kirihiko's Nasca Memory, turning into what is currently called "Red Nasca" (it's actually pretty orange).}}
* [[Pyrrhic Victory]]: {{spoiler|While she manages to survive the downfall of the Museum and Ryubee's death, she loses the Nasca Memory after being defeated by Claydoll Xtreme.}}
Line 369:
* [[Idol Singer]]: Gets her own [[Defictionalization|Defictionalized]] single release with "Naturally".
* [[Magikarp Power]]: Clay Doll seems to be the weakest of the Gaia Memories used by Museum, primarily useful for its [[Good Thing You Can Heal|regenerative ability.]] {{spoiler|But once she unlocks its Xtreme form, not only is she able to shrug off a Memory Break, her offensive power goes through the roof.}}
* [[Name's the Same]]: Wakana had a namesake with [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Mion Sonozaki.]] And indeed is played in the live action by the same actress as Wakana.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]/[[Evil Counterpart]]: {{spoiler|The Gaia Progressor she gains from her father grants her Claydoll Xtreme form, which is much more powerful and grants Wakana access to the Gaia Library.}}
* [[Rich Bitch]]: {{spoiler|Until she mellowed out in "[[Kamen Rider Double/Recap/E13 E14 The Radio Q|The Radio Q]]", that is.}}

* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Saeko showed increasing displeasure over his failure to defeat Double in the form of both verbal and physical abuse. {{spoiler|Then, just after she forgave him for that, he pulled his [[Heel Face Turn]], and she killed him for it.}}
=== Shinkuro Isaka/Weather Dopant | <small>Actor: [[Tomoyuki Dan]]</small> ===
Line 413:
* [[Fetish]]: Is interested in Saeko's body only when she is in her Dopant form.
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: {{spoiler|To Ryu.}}
* [[Informed Ability]]: Supposedly has gained the power of numerous Gaia Memories, yet he always relies only on his [[Elemental Powers]].
* [[Insanity Immunity]]: He's so evil and completely insane, he's immune to the corrupting effects of Gaia Memories.
** It's not so much that he's immune, but rather that he ''likes'' the effects, and just goes with them rather than fighting it.
Line 423:
** Incidentally, he's the third strongest Dopant in the series and so completely insane that his own Memory couldn't make him worse.
* [[Serial Killer]]: Not only does he murder people to take their Gaia Memories, when he got the Weather Memory, he went on a series of murder sprees using his various elemental powers. Ryu's family are among his victims.

* [[Light Is Not Good]]: A well groomed, impeccably dressed [[Man in White]] {{spoiler|who possesses the "Utopia" memory, which transforms him into an elegant gold Übermensch}}.

* [[Love Makes You Evil]]
* [[Mad Scientist]]
* [[Man in White]]
Line 492:
* [[Big Eater]]: Watcherman and Santa-chan go though several bowls of ramen (eight each, to be exact) in the time it takes for Akiko to make a phone call.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Santa-chan's "Merry Christmas!"
* [[Defictionalization]]: Queen and Elizabeth are played by two members of idol group AKB48, and when they released their joint single "Love♡Wars", the Liar Dopant arc had them appear on an American Idol-esque contest (Fuuuuuutic Idol) performing the song in order to win a major label release.
* [[Hair Decorations]]: Elizabeth and her rose hairclips.
* [[Funny Afro]]: Watcherman
Line 528:
* [[Woman in Black]]: Quite possibly as a deliberate contrast to Sokichi Narumi, the [[Man in White]]. Both are mentor figures, both wear a fedora and a trenchcoat...

Line 632:
* {{spoiler|[[Laughing Mad]]: Happens after he was driven insane by the deaths of the Quark Project subjects.}}
* [[Mythology Gag]]: His design somewhat resembles that of Kiriya's Oni form from ''[[Kamen Rider Hibiki]]'', while following the trend of white movie-exclusive Riders like [[Kamen Rider Faiz|Psyga]], [[Kamen Rider Hibiki|Touki]] & [[Kamen Rider Den-O|Den-O Wing Form]].
** Other fans say Eternal looks a little bit like a color-swapped [[Kamen Rider Agito|G3 Mild]], with [[The Cape (trope)|a]] [[Badass Cape|cape]] and no [[BFG|huge]] arsenal of [[More Dakka|firearms]].
* {{spoiler|[[Noble Demon]]}}: Sure, Katsumi is a ruthless fighter and killer, but {{spoiler|he saved his to-be comrades from death by turning them into NEVER, and also Mina and her Quark's comrades from despair and death, urging them to fight against Foundation X for survival. Even Shotaro and Philip mourned for him after hearing the whole story, saying that he could have become another Kamen Rider protecting Futo had he not experienced those events.}}
{{quote|
* [[Palette Swap]]: Eternal Red Flare from ''W Returns: Eternal'', which is revealed to be the result of using the experimental T1 Eternal Memory. Its resonance with Daido causes it to evolve into Blue Flare before burning out entirely.
* {{spoiler|[[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]}}: {{spoiler|His reason of returning to Futo in [[The Movie]], against both Museum and Foundation X.}}
Line 643:
* {{spoiler|[[Came Back Wrong]]}}: {{spoiler|Katsumi was Maria's good son, Reika was just an escaping prisoner, Kyosui was a triad member who got betrayed (and ''without'' his [[Camp Gay]] trait before death), Gozo was a farmer protesting against land development, and Ken was a married SAT member.}} Subverted by a little that {{spoiler|they still retain their kind side even after becoming NEVER , but subsequent events turned them insane (though Reika was still retaining her sanity).}}
* {{spoiler|[[Dead All Along]]: NEVER was a project by the Museum and Foundation X reviving people to use as [[Super Soldier
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Double's own Gaia Memories. {{spoiler|Although Cyclone isn't evil.}}
* [[Fallen Hero]]: The group began acting as mercenaries, still holding onto their ideals. One of the effects from the serum that kept them active was the gradual vanishing of their emotions: by the time of A to Z, most -if not all- of them had already fallen to this, even if most of their personality traits were retained. {{spoiler|That and their failure to save the Quark project subjects drove them insane.}}
Line 733:
=== Melissa | Actor: Hikaru Yamamoto ===
A famous singer in Futo in the year 1999, and being stalked by the infamous Spider-Man.
* [[Acting for Two]]: As noted in Akiko's entry.
Line 750:
* [[Punny Name]] / [[Meaningful Name]]: While 'Komori' is written with different kanji, it's a homophone for the Japanese word meaning 'bat'.
=== Kamen Rider Core
A monster created from the fusion of the Memory Memory and 3 Core Medals.
Line 784:
=== Mina ===
A mysterious psychic who confronts Shotaro and Philip, and tells them the story of Katsumi Daido, Kamen Rider Eternal.
