* While not divulged in the film proper, as revealed by a [[https://twitter.com/cron204/status/1609824272301838336?t=lefQIk7cWN5jOyaKy_R_PA&s=19 Twitter post]] by Shirakura in 2023, Another Double's backstory is surprisingly tragic. He was once a ''Kamen Rider'' fan until the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, which shattered his belief in the Riders' heroism and made him come to resent them, believing that [[BrokenPedestal heroes who couldn't save anyone in the real world shouldn't be celebrated at all]]. This also makes his identity as a mockery of Double rather ironic, as he's essentially donning the appearance of the last Rider whose series he was able to fully enjoy. What makes this sting even more? The fact that he's one of the few Another Riders to get KilledOffForReal after being destroyed.

** It also makes the scene where Sougo botched Double's CatchPhrase when using the W Armor come off as InnocentlyInsensitive, since he's unknowingly soiling Another Double's last happy memories of ''Kamen Rider'' before the earthquake. Small wonder he immediately snapped and called Sougo "half-boiled".
