== [[Fridge Brilliance]] ==
* The Foundation X plot was left hanging to follow it's [[Film Noir]] theme. Old [[Raymond Chandler|mystery works]] would have many questions unanswered intentionally, and would be [[Bittersweet Ending|bittersweet]] at best.
Line 8:
* How did Kamen Rider Skull take on the Terror Dopant without being terrified in the Nobody's Perfect PV? He's hard-boiled, as in unswayed by emotions. Fear is an emotion.
** Whereas his apprentice is terrified because he is ''half''-boiled.
* Why does [[The Movie]] have so many names? [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|Double Forever, A-to-Z, The Gaia Memory Of Fate]]. It doesn't. It just has one: (Kamen Rider Double) Forever A-to-Z: The Gaia Memory Of Fate.
* Shotaro's favored Memory, '''Joker''', is said to possess the inherent power of the "trump card". Why should this be considered [[Personality Powers]]? {{spoiler|Shotaro is actually the ''wild'' card, being the outlier in both [[The Chessmaster|The Chessmasters]]' plans. What's the wild card in most card games? '''Joker'''. Being the metaphorical Joker is what ''makes'' Shotaro the trump card, as his [[Determinator|sheer determination and devotion to]] [[Nakama|his friends]] allowed him to pull off the impossible and shake off the paralyzing fear inflicted upon him by Terror and defeat Utopia single-handedly without transforming, things Shroud's chosen warrior (Ryu) couldn't even do.}}
** This also extends to the movie: {{spoiler|Daido assumed that Shotaro was out of the picture without Phillip or Double, only for him to receive the Lost Driver from Sokichi, gain the T2 Joker thanks to his affinity for its powers, and [[Storming the Castle|storm the castle]] in order to rescue his partner and protect his city.}}
* Philip's favored Memory, '''{{color|green|CCyclone}}'''. The two people capable of accessing the Gaia Library are Philip and {{spoiler|Wakana}}. {{spoiler|Wakana's}} signature Memory, {{spoiler|Claydoll}}, represents [[Dishing Out Dirt|the power of the earth]]. The {{color|green|CCyclone}} Memory represents the exact opposite, namely the power of the sky.
** In fact all three of Philip's base Memories can be associated with the sky. '''{{color|gold|LLuna}}''' obviously represents the Moon, while '''{{color|red|HHeat}}''' represents the Sun (compare with Magma, a Memory with [[Playing Withwith Fire|similar powers]] that draws its strength from the heat of ''the earth'').
* Xtreme may look like a silly way to spell extreme but it makes sense when you realize that Cyclone Joker Xtreme is the evolution of Double and X is the letter after W.
** It's also a punny name, based off Double's Cyclone Joker finisher, Joker E''xtreme''.
Line 31:
* How come they reuse the Dopant Memories from the beginning of the show in the finale and in one of the spin-offs? Because there's no one to make more Gaia Memories, so you can't have find a unique memory unless you happen to have a Gaia Memory ''before'' the crackdown (like the Commander Dopant), find a rare one ''after'' the crackdown (like the Energy Dopant). If you don't have those, you would opt for one of the ''many'' mass produced Memories, which happen to be the ones seen in the beginning.
* Why does Cyclone Joker Xtreme wield the Prism Bicker as it's ultimate weapon? Because it's a [[Bifurcated Weapon|two-in-one weapon]] for a [[Sharing a Body|two-in-one]] [[Kamen Rider]]!
** Moreover, unlike most [[Bifurcated Weapon|Bifurcated Weapons]] the Prism Bicker's component parts are completely different from one another. The [[Infinity Plus One+1 Sword|Prism Sword]] and [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me|Bicker Shield]] both have their own special abilities, but it's only when they're combined that their true power emerges; just like how Shotaro's and Phillip's different personalities combine to form a Rider that's more than the sum of its parts.
*** The weapons can even be related to each character:
**** Shotaro does most of the fighting for the pair, so he gets a warriors weapon, the Prism Sword, which is always wielded in the ''right'' hand.
Line 45:
** Or Shroud warned them at some point...
*** Philip could have looked it up one time and went "Better keep Shotaro from trying this.".
* In the ''Forever A to Z'' Net Movies, it's revealed that the Queen Memory can turn anyone into Queen - could the reaction over the actual Queen trying to use the T2 Queen Memory in the movie a justified attempt at averting [[Divide Byby Zero]]?
* In the 11th Delusion Diary, Shoutarou imagines the future of the agency in the year 2060. Shoutarou and Akiko are old, but Philip hasn't aged. Which is funny until you realize that {{spoiler|Philip will stay young forever even as the others around him grow old and die, leaving him alone in the agency. Poor kid.}}
** It's never been stated that {{spoiler|Phillip doesn't age}}. In fact, since he {{spoiler|fell into the Gaia Memory well when he was just a little kid, the fact that he's now a teenager should be proof that he ''does'' age}}.
