History Recap / KamenRiderDoubleE35E36BeyondR

Back at the Agency, our heroes do a bit of digging about the winged Dopant Memory--apparently, Nagi was handpicked for the compatibility with the Quetzalcoatlus Memory, which is why Isaka had killed her own father in front of her. Isaka intends to cultivate this new Memory from Nagi, [[Recap/KamenRiderDoubleE27E28TheDWasSeen just like he had with Lily Shirogane and the Invisible Memory]]--but the port's not complete yet, and thus Nagi hasn't had the thing inserted proper. Ryu decides that for one he's taking matters into his own hands and storms off, with Akiko trying to follow. At the same time, Dr. Isaka, in a dark corner of the Sonozaki mansion with Saeko, explains a little about how he got his start--obsessed with the human condition, Isaka got into medical science, but fell on hard times as he couldn't get what he wanted out of it. Until he witnessed for himself, the Terror Dopant on a rampage as it took down several people at once with his NightmareFuel. Except it had a different effect on Dr. Isaka--not sheer fear, but sheer ''awe''. And in that awe, he promised himself that he would be able to invoke that kind of fear someday.

Ryu, with Akiko tagging along, finally reaches the very location where he'd met Shroud a few times--and sure enough, she's there. He demands greater power from her, and she turns him down to his face--as Ryu (ignoring the events of previous episodes) has somehow forgotten what his {{revenge}} is about. But he's not taking that from her or anyone, and she agrees eventually--but he has to follow her. At the same time, Shotaro acts on his own and finds Nagi back at the bird park, reasoning that he's got a better shot than Ryu at making her come round--and it works. Upon learning that [[NotSoDifferentRemark Ryu was technically a victim of the Weather Dopant just like her]], Nagi now fears for his safety as much as her own--but Shotaro tells her that real men gain strength from the people around them, and purpose from the people they protect. Just a little something Soukichi passed on to him...and now to her.

They are rudely interrupted as the birds are suddenly roused into a panic, and Dr. Isaka shows himself yet again. Yes, he's still out to farm the girl and her Dopant port by inciting fear, but not in the usual way, as he's reproduced a circuitboard based on the Quetzalcoatlus Memory in order to duplicate its effects, while ''taking out all the safeguards'' so it'll take effect immediately on anyone who's even ''marginally'' compatible. For example, one of the birds she loves so much. Simply chucking the winged circuitboard at an unsuspecting parrot causes it to mutate and grow, [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever into the massive Quetzalcoatlus Dopant!]] A creature with a wingspan of nearly 50 feet, a triple-jawed beak and a screech meant to wet the pants of lesser people, [[KidnappingBirdOfPrey it immediately grabs Nagi and takes to the skies]]. There's no time to waste as Shotaro immediately goes into Double, takes the Machine [=HardBoilder=] and gives chase.

Without any way to actually ''reach'' the airborne creature, Double summons [=RevolGarry=] to switch to the [=HardTurbular=] configuration...but for some reason, the [[RobotBuddy Gunner-A]] is already filling the empty slot. Going with Shotaro's gut, Double locks the Machine section to the Gunner drone to form Machine [=HardGunner=], allowing him to make a long-range shot that hits the creature and allows him to lasso Nagi to safety. The Xtreme Memory shows up out of nowhere again, allowing Double to go into [=CycloneJokerXtreme=], and try out a new move with Gunner-A--by using the Prism Bicker to take a direct shot from Gunner, he's able to ride the shield like a hoverboard ''and'' execute a [[FinishingMove Bicker Charge Break]] on the flying creature (which leaves the parrot flying away, none the worse for wear). Unfortunately, this involves leaving Nagi alone for far too long, and Isaka gets his hands on her anyway...and realises that the Memory port ''isn't growing like he had expected it to''. Demanding that Nagi tell him what is reinforcing her heart, Weather just barely slips away when Double pulls a Bicker Illusion on him.

Back at Narumi Detective Agency, our heroes figure out that Ryu having her back actually did help Nagi with the Memory port business, preventing it from developing as Isaka had planned on. Which is when Nagi realizes that the pendant Ryu gave her had slipped out of her hands back there, but it's not a good idea for her to go outdoors at this point, particularly with Ryu now MIA. Where's Ryu gone to, then?

Back at Narumi Detective Agency, Shotaro gets a call from Akiko, telling him (in a panic) about the TrainingFromHell that might actually kill Ryu if it kept going on. Which leads Nagi to think that losing Ryu's pendant is the actual cause, and she slips out of Narumi Detective Agency to find it. Similarly, Wakana slips off on her own to find Saeko and try to talk her round, which fails big time as Saeko, tormented for being TheUnfavourite all these years, goes Taboo and gets violent. Fortunately, Mick as Smilodon Dopant shows up to bail her out--but Nagi has none of her luck, as Dr. Isaka also comes out of hiding. He's figured it out too--how Ryu has been the SpannerInTheWorks for once--and he's already worked on a solution: lure him into a trap, with Nagi for bait.

So Shroud hands him the Trial Memory, watching him ride off, before junking all the equipment she brought her and taking her leave. Akiko goes after her while picking up that stopwatch she'd been using the whole time...before [[OhCrap realizing]] it's actually stopped at ''10.07.'' Yes, Shroud had it figured early on: Ryu would be fighting for someone else's sake, not that of his own revenge, which was why she could no longer depend on him to fulfill her motives anymore.

Isaka himself is also at a bit of a loose end. With his goals all but set in stone now, and Saeko tagging along out of necessity, he doesn't really know where to go from here. He doesn't really ''need'' Saeko anymore...and yet he can't just leave her on her own... Unfortunately, future plans will have to wait, as Ryu arrives to take Nagi back.

But it's not quite 100% positive: almost immediately before Ryu can think of arresting him, Dr. Isaka comes to a grisly end, as losing the Weather Memory causes all the other Dopant Memories he's been using to overload, and consume him from within. But before he goes, he warns Ryu and the Narumi gang that their fates have been sealed by Shroud.

Ryu, with Akiko tagging along, finally reaches the very location where he'd met Shroud a few times--and sure enough, she's there. He demands greater power from her, and she turns him down to his face--as Ryu (ignoring the events of previous episodes) has somehow forgotten what his {{revenge}} is about. But he's not taking that from her or anyone, and she agrees eventually--but he has to follow her. At the same time, Shotaro acts on his own and finds Nagi back at the bird park, reasoning that he's got a better shot than Ryu at making her come round--and it works. Upon learning that [[NotSoDifferent Ryu was technically a victim of the Weather Dopant just like her]], Nagi now fears for his safety as much as her own--but Shotaro tells her that real men gain strength from the people around them, and purpose from the people they protect. Just a little something Soukichi passed on to him...and now to her.

* ADeathInTheLimelight: Much like [[Recap/KamenRiderDoubleE17E18FarewellN Kirihiko before him]], we get a look at just what drives Doctor Shikurou Isaka...before Accel Trial and Isaka's own absorbed Memories finish him off.

* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Isaka's demise, which involves him basically getting eaten alive by so many Living Connectors--and by extension, the Gaia Memories he's been cultivating and absorbing.
* KidnappingBirdOfPrey: The parrot-turned-Quetzalcoatlus-Dopant grabs Nagi and flies off with her, as part of Isaka's goal to grow her Memory Port through fear. Luckily, Double and the Gunner-A put a stop to that; and Isaka finds that it doesn't work this time.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Nagi screams that Ryu is a pervert in order to get away from him. Shotaro and Akiko act before actually looking, causing further confusion.

** Shroud, too, considering they're ''outdoors in broad daylight.''

It's straight to business as Ryu goes into Accel right away, batting away lightning bolts to get within range before busting out Accel Trial--which only makes him go faster and hit harder, allowing him to survive the concentrated lightning barrage that got him the last time. Which is when the Narumi DA gang show up, with Akiko spilling the fact about the stopwatch--but it doesn't matter anymore. Because Ryu's not only found the strength to leave his obsession with revenge behind, but the speed to keep moving forward--thus shaking off everything. It's time at last for a new FinishingMove, as Accel Trial pummels Weather at super speed...and nailing it within 9.8 seconds. Isaka falls to the ground as the Weather Memory is broken at last. Nagi'd Memory Port finally disappears as Accel Trial snaps the Quetzalcoatlus Memory with one hand. Reverting back, Ryu unties Nagi, who returns his pendant to him.

** Shroud too, considering they're ''outdoors in broad daylight.''
