Kamen Rider Double/Recap/E13 E14 The Radio Q: Difference between revisions

Suddenly, Wakana gets a question from a caller with obvious vocal effects identifying himself as "Mr. Question". His question is innocuous enough: "What is your favorite number?", but Wakana takes an instant dislike to him<ref>she even mutes the recording to get in the [[Verbal Tic]] she uses when annoyed</ref>, pegging him as another stalker. She's right: when she answers "seven", he announces he has a present for her, which turns out to be a large structure collapsing in front of the station, followed by a Dopant<ref>Mr. Question, obviously</ref> attacking everybody around it. Cue opening theme.

 

 

Later, the Sonozakis are all eating dinner together, arguing what to do about Mr. Question. Saeko encourages Wakana to give up her radio show, leading to both of them assuming their Dopant forms and blasting each other. Ah, dinner with the Sonozakis, never know when two people are gonna go for each others' throats. Kirihiko objects to the violence, but Saeko reassures him that it won't kill Wakana. Ryubee intervenes, telling Wakana to quit her job if the case isn't solved soon.

Right before Shotaro arrives, Mr. Question assumes his Dopant form, identified as the Violence Dopant, and begins his attack, only to be rebuffed by Double. A [[Melee a Trois]] soon ensues, with Wakana joining the battle as Clay Doll and attacking both Double and Violence/Question. Kirihiko observes the fight, though he declines to join in simply because it's so entertaining to watch. As Double and Clay Doll touch each other in battle, Philip is reminded of his earlier connection with Wakana, though he can't place it. During the fight, Violence/Question shatters Clay Doll into a million pieces while [[Evil Laugh|laughing about it]] and bolts, much to Kirihiko's horror. Wakana quickly [[Pulling Themselves Together|pulls herself back together]], reminding Kirihiko of Saeko's earlier comment that her blasts won't kill Wakana.

 

 

Meanwhile, Philip is dwelling over the connection he made with Clay Doll during the earlier fight, as Wakana enters the office. Philip, as usual, hides behind the "secret" door, and they have a conversation. Philip asks if Wakana's ever felt like someone is trying to kill her, and with [[Rule of Drama|a change in the lighting]], Wakana explains that she feels that way about ''Saeko''. Turns out that because Ryubee tightly controlled Saeko's childhood but not Wakana's, Saeko took her frustrations out on Wakana. Wakana's little brother prevented her from becoming just as mean by talking Wakana out of retaliating against Saeko, though he's no longer around, and she's become... not quite as kind. Philip counters that she still has a lot of kindness in her; her true self is the kind little girl underneath, not the [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]] she tends to act like (well, without using those exact words...). As Philip prepares to enter the Gaia Library to deduce Question's true identity, Akiko is berating Shotaro for letting Wakana out of her sight, and the station brings in Motoko to take over Wakana's show while she's missing. In the Gaia Library, Philip asks Wakana if she remembers anyone asking her her favorite scenery, and she recalls it was someone at her first audition for her radio show. With that, Philip discovers Mr. Question's real name, and Wakana leaves the office to get back to work, but not before making Philip promise to see her again and let her see his face. Philip is left alone, contemplating his newfound feelings for Wakana. He goes into the Gaia Library to look Wakana up, but he declines to read Wakana's book<ref>that sounds dirtier than it is</ref> when he finds it.

* [[Brother-Sister Incest]]: This is what fans think when the writer simultaneously [[Ship Tease|Ship Teases]] a pair of characters and hints that they're brother and sister.

* [[Character Development]]: Wakana gets loads and loads of it during this story. Not only did she become ''much'' nicer in general, but compare her offing of a [[Mook]] in the first part's [[Cold Open]] versus her sparing Motoko's life towards the end of the second part.

* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: Wakana and Philip's second conversation.

* [[Defictionalization]]: Wakana's single, "Naturally", was also released in [[Real Life]].
