Tokusatsu of the Month this September:Kamen Rider Double



This is the first Kamen Rider series where 2 guys transformed into 1 Kamen Rider who battle against evil criminals using GAIA Memories that transformed itself into Dopants.This is focused in partners in crime,when one is a tough detective and one is a genius investigator who solved clues and detecting some suspects regarding about GAIA memories.


This is also the first series started this fall of the year,starting September 2009 to August 2010,then it's followed by OOO,Fourze and the currently 2012 series Wizard.This series started the 2 time Super Hero time with 2 Super Sentai such as Shinkenger in September 2009 and Goseiger in February 2010 until it's finale then it is traditionally on the following Kamen Rider series.In their movie they double billed with Tensou Sentai Goseiger instead of Shinkenger just because August is the traditinally movie premier since Gaoranger-Agito movie in 2001.


Kamen Rider W also started the endorsement of using GAIA memories set for an arcade game and Climax Heroes for Wii,DS and PS 3 from Kamen Rider 1 to the current Kamen Rider aired.It is also started to represent some GAIA memory set of the powers from 1 to Decade,since Decade endorsed this kind of toy sets.It is followed by OOO's medals,Fourze's switches then Wizard's rings.It's totally upgraded and mor fun to play with you favorite Kamen Rider heroes.

The story was set on a city called Futo were crimes are involved by the Kaijins called Dopants, that secretly endorsed by Sonozaki family who are also have powerful GAIA memories.Every users have special intentions either for good or evil ,but it still prohibit to law when humans were involved in this kind of crime.The episodes were composed of 2 when the 1st part is the foundation of criminal activities and in the second was the conclusion and capturing the GAIA memory user.


The Narumi Detective agency is the place were complainants go involving Dopant's scum in Futo.Akiko who is the only daughter of Kamen Rider Skull/Detective Narumi is the main boss who inherit this agency,but she do some funny things particularly when she slap her green slippers to Shotaro if its doing the wrong thing.Shotaro Hidari is the main detective who always detect some different investigations regarding to Dopants and some people who involve the case,He always transform into Double combining the soul of his partner Philip.Philip is originally a Sonozaki,which is named Raito.Just because of the scum created by his father,his mother created the GAIA memories from Skull to DOuble and Accel to fight evil Dopants who want to scum the city,Philip is a genius investigator who put the following keywords,if its defined who's the Dopant he henshin with Shotaro to fight this monster.


Kamen Rider W has different forms based on the combo given,The primary combo was Cyclone/Joker then followed by Heat/Metal and Luna/Trigger,the only special was on the movie wars called Fang/Joker which is definitely strong and his Extreme form that can combine 6 GAIA memories on his weapon.Cyclone/Joker can also combine into Cyclone/Metal and Cyclone/Trigger,while Heat/Metal can also combine into Heat/Joker and Heat/Trigger,and Luna/Trigger can also combine into Luna/Joker and Luna/Metal.


Kamen Rider Accel is also 2 in 1 rider not 2 partners in 1 ,but he can turn from rider into a Motorcyle just like Chida Nick of Go-Busters.He can chase fastest DOpants easily as he wants,sometimes W rides with him.Terui Ryu the Accel user was choosed by Sonozaki to get his revenge of the murder of his family by the Weather Dopant.He's a tough investigator who also allied with the police regarding to Dopants.He's ultimate form called Trial that can fight more than a fastest Rider same to Faiz Axel and Kabuto-tachi riders.



Philip's original family was the main villains who owned a museum and sending GAIA memories to different people who want to have some desires of Revenge or anything.It's really hard for two Riders fighting about it just because they sell themselves to evil. The Terror Dopant is the main villain that creates great havoc in the city,for me he's one of the most scariest villains of Kamen Riders,followed by his Daughter ClayDoll and her sister who are one of the strongest including Nazca the first user.



I would like to say about this series was great ,and it is not boring to watch just because of defining some clues who cry the city of Fuuto,and I just remember this kind of tribute is similar to Black and RX.
