4	[[WMG:Phillip is a Sonozaki]]
5	You saw the flashback. He has two sisters, a mother, and a father as his only memory. He could be the Cyclone Dopant.
6	* You might be right about that one. [[spoiler: There was a third child in the Sonozaki Family.]]
7	** [[spoiler: Confirmed. Episode 38 reveals Philip as Raito Sonozaki.]]
8	[[WMG: Phillip is Akiko's brother]]
9	Akiko's dad saved Phillip from the Sonozaki with no real explanation. This is a good explanation.
10	* Jossed. In [[TheMovie Begins Night]], it was a client ([[spoiler:actually Shroud]]) who told Sokichi to save Phillip.
11	** [[FridgeLogic and wouldn't Akiko recognize Phillip if he was?]]
12
13	[[WMG: Philip is a dopant.]]
14	He was used as a test subject in experiment to harness some sort of alternative way to use Gaia Memories. Probably some sort of permanent implantation/fusion or something. His Gaia Memory is Knowledge, Library or something along those lines.
15
16	[[WMG: [[spoiler: Phillip was meant to be the Nazca Dopant.]]]]
17	* In episode 2, Ryubee pointed out that the Nazca memory was meant for a member of the Sonozaki Family. And seeing as [[spoiler: The second WMG was correct...]]
18	** [[spoiler: If that's the case, that leaves Shroud as the odd one out...unless she was the intended user of the Weather Memory (which would explain why she had it in the first place)]].
19
20	[[WMG: In Kamen Rider W Forever: A to Z Gaia Memory of Fate, Phillip will be the Cyclone Dopant]]
21	* Phillip gets kidnapper at some point (fact), and he'll be brainwashed and end up being the user of the T2 Cyclone Memory. There will be an [[IKnowYouAreInThereSomeWhereFight epic fight]] between Phillip as the Cyclone Dopant and Shotaro as Kamen Rider Joker.
22	** Further supported by pictures on the movie's website showing Phillip's actor in the same NEVER uniform as the other "Double Dopants". And ''damn'', does he look good in it.
23	** '''Jossed'''. [[spoiler: Maria S. Cranberry is the Cyclone Dopant.]]
24
25	[[WMG: Phillip does not exist and Shotaro is really a schizophrenic who imagined him up]]
26	The case to find the child of light was all for nothing and Narumi's death was in vain. After the events of Begins Night, Shotaro began to imagine a companion to match the weird voices he is hearing when he became Double. The Gaia Library was all in Shotaro's head, not knowing that it's just suaveness that helps him through the cases. Usually he hits a HeroicBSOD after remebering Begins Night and blames it on something else (As seen in the Money Dopant and the Cockroach Dopant episodes).
27	* So what explains Phillip's interactions with people like Akiko and Wakana?
28	** It's all Shotaro. Sometime during that one year gap, he began to adapt a Kevin Baugh style in which he starts dressing up as Phillip.
29	* Speaking of Wakana, [[spoiler: explain that whole Raito thing?]]
30	** That was Shotaro deciding to give his imaginary friend a backstory by tying together random people and making a family tree.
31	* Also explain the times in which Phillip became Fang Joker?
32	** Again, It's all Shotaro. Plus we needed an AlternateCharacterInterpretation WMG for this page.
33	*** [[FlatWhat ... What.]]
34	* Explain the interaction between ''any'' character and both Phillip and Shotaro; how can they both be on-screen with a thrid party?
35	* This theory is too hard to explain/justify, but it's an interesting idea. I'd like to see a "WhatIf It was all in Shotaro's Head?" fanfic.
36	* Alternatively, Phillip is the schizophrenic who imagined Shotaro up.
37
38	[[WMG:[[spoiler:Philip is going to revive somehow]]]]
39	[[spoiler: He needs to be alive for Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider OOO & Double: Movie War 2011, so yeah]]
40	* [[spoiler: '''Confirmed.''' Wakana sacrifices herself to bring him back.]]
41
42	[[WMG: While he was Kamen Rider Joker Shotaro had the powers of Trigger and Metal as well]]
43	Because we see that he still has the memories in episode 49, it would be silly not to use them in the fight against the Dopants.
44
45	[[WMG: Phillip was meant to be a girl]]
46	The HoYay, the [[DudeLooksLikeALady Cross Dressing]], it makes sense to me...
47
48	[[WMG: Phillip is a girl!]]
49	[[spoiler: Seeing how Wakana gave him her body...]]
50	* Fetish Fuel anyone?
51
52	[[WMG: Shotaro will try using Xtreme when he's Kamen Rider Joker at one point]]
53	And it will rock!
54	* Not before he's tried out Trigger and Metal with the Lost Driver... also the Xtreme Memory apparently dissipated at the end of ep. 48 and never showed up gain till the end of #49.
55
56	[[WMG: Philip is an alternate universe [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Archive]]]]
57	He has access to the totality of human knowledge and accesses it via books. The archive has access to the totality of human knowledge and knows it via the written word. Connection?
58
59	[[WMG: [=HeatMetalXtreme=] and [=LunarTriggerXtreme=] were actually tried out at some point...]]
60	...but they replaced the sword in the Prism bicker with a spear and a rifle, and the guys decided it was impractical for general Dopant combat, not to mention rather uncomfortable. Shout Outs to ''300'' and ''Gundam'' be damned.

67	Because [[RuleOfCool it would be cool]].
68	* But then she would [[EpilepticTrees have to die]].
69	** [[spoiler:Natsumi and Megumi didn't.]]
70	*** [[spoiler:Natsumi already died and Megumi didn't look female in rider form so the death of riders probably mistook her for a guy]]
71	*** Check the Decade WMG for [[spoiler:Natsumi's]] reasons for survival.
72	* Well, she became Double in a dream sequence, although it was partially PlayedForLaughs.
73	* Sadly Jossed.
74	** Not quite, see above.

87	[[WMG: Kirihiko will gain a second generation driver/rider belt]]
88	He will see that he isn't strong enough and become an evil rider using his Nazca Memory.
89	* [[spoiler: Jossed. Kirihiko died.]]
90
91	[[WMG: Kirihiko: HeelFaceTurn pending]]
92	He's been derided for marrying into the Sonozaki family at least once. Saeko clearly treats him like dirt. It's inevitable. So, maybe he's not an evil Rider in the usual sense.
93	* [[spoiler: Confirmed.]]
94
95	[[WMG: Possible {{Heel Face Turn}}s.]]
96	* Kirihiko may join Double when he realizes that, for him to be the one to defeat him, he would have to be the last one.
97	** [[spoiler: You were right on the Face Heel Turn, but he does not join Double. The reason for his betrayal is because of his disagreement with experimenting Gaia Memories on innocent kids and was killed immediately afterward.]]
98	* Wakana, because her not being good just seems wrong.
99
100	[[WMG: Ryubee's wife is the ManBehindTheMan.]]
101	There has to be some reason that she hasn't been mentioned yet.
102	** [[spoiler: Well, Ryubee's wife is Shroud, so...maybe?]]
103	*** [[spoiler: Pretty much Jossed at this point.]]
104	[[WMG: The Sonozaki family started out as good, but were turned evil by the Gaia Memories]]
105	Supposedly the use of a Memory Driver belt prevents being corrupted, but the fact that the Sonozaki's turn into Dopants instead of Kamen Riders could be taken as evidence that their belts are imperfect. Rather than going insane after just a few uses, they were slowly corrupted after years of use. \
106	It would also explain why Wakana and Kirihiko are both ripe for a HeelFaceTurn. As the youngest in the family and the new in-law, they would both have had less exposure to the Gaia Memories than Saeko or Ryubee.
107	* So Mick is just naturally that way?
108	** As an animal, Mick's simpler mental processes might make him even more vulnerable to corruption. [[CatsAreMean Or maybe he IS that way.]]
109
110	[[WMG: Weatherman isn't long for this world.]]
111	He's wearing Kirihiko's robe. That ''has'' to be a sign.
112	* [[spoiler:And it seems that Double ''and'' Accel are gonna receive their {{Super Mode}}s soon. Looks like Weather's days are numbered...]]
113	* [[spoiler:'''Confirmed''']].
114
115	[[WMG: How the Terror Dopant will lose.]]
116	Cyclone-Joker-Xtreme will use a ''sextuple'' Maximum Drive combo: Xtreme, Prism, and four other Memories in the Bicker Shield, all concentrated into either Double's leg for an ultimate Rider Kick, or into the Prism Breaker sword for a spectacular lightshow of a sword attack.
117	* '''Jossed'''. [[spoiler:Just a simple Rider Kick from CJX.]]
118	** [[spoiler:CJX had it easy, it was Accel who did most of the work.]]
119
120	[[WMG: Ryubee never considered Isaka a threat.]]
121	He considers Isaka and his use of multiple memory ports as just another experiment for the museum.
122
123	[[WMG: [[spoiler: A new character/Dopant will replace Isaka]]]]
124	[[spoiler: Much like how Isaka replaced Kirihiko.]]
125	* [[spoiler: The new guy from Foundation X who keeps dropping things looks like he may be a good candidate for this.]]
126	* * [[spoiler: Confirmed? He pretty much became the replacement for Terror, of all people.]]
127
128	[[WMG:Museum is related to Shocker. Or a spin-off of Shocker itself.]]
129	That's how [[spoiler:a Shinigami-Hakase Gaia Memory exists, in the past Ryubee was Dr. Death's friend. When Dr. Death was defeated by Kamen Rider No. 1, Ryubee had backed up Dr. Death's memories and powers until technology advanced enough to create the memories. In the meantime, Dr. Death lived as a regular human, and as Natsumi's grandfather.]]
130	* This would also explain the similarities between the Masquerade Dopants and Shocker Soldiers, including the skeleton motif and the fact that they're plentiful but incredibly weak {{Mooks}}.
131
132	[[WMG:[[spoiler:Wakana and Terui are both dead]]]]
133	[[spoiler: It appears likely that Wakana's FaceHeelTurn and ability to access the library are because Ryubee killed and resurrected her like Philip/Raito. Also possible that Terui is dead, explaining why he isn't affected by the Terror or Old Dopants, but for some reason he can't access the library - perhaps he was killed by Isaka but Shroud found a way to bring him back so he could fulfil her plans to become Cyclone Accel Xtreme?]]
134	* [[spoiler:Or, perhaps, being resistant to Dopant powers is just like being resistant to a disease. Maybe Dopant powers are actually illnesses?]]
135
136	[[WMG: Wakana would've replaced Phillip if the dissapearing had been a little worse.]]
137	If Phillip had fallen in battle or to dissapearing before Utopia was defeated, I personally think that Shotaro, in desperation, would discover the lost driver. Then, as in Canon, he goes and rescues Wakana. He they get outside, and he henshin's trying to fight off Utopia as Joker (And not doing badly as, unike Accel which has fire as a theme, Joker is a literal Wild card, so the Utopia powers are resisted. Meanwhile, Phillip appears in the Gaia Library and asks Wakana to take his place, giving her his memories. It could take a long battle, and probably involve a purified Claydoll memory, but eventually the two would manage to get in syn when they realise that they both felt as if Phillip was family, allowing them to go Xtreme and finish it.

142	[[WMG: "Shroud" is Mrs. Sonozaki]]
143	According to the other wiki, a woman referred to as "Shroud" is the one that gave Accel his arsenal. Her true identity is unknown, and no explanation has ever been given for Ryubee's wife not being around. If Shroud is his wife, and also Phillip's mother, should the theory of Phillip being a Sonozaki turn out to be true, it would explain how she got a Gaia Memory as well as any Memory Gadgets Accel has, like his Beetle Phone.
144	* Alternately, Shroud is actually Saeko.
145	* I think it's possible that Shroud is Philip and Wakana's mother but not Saeko's. It would explain why Saeko resents Wakana, and Shroud doesn't sound (or look, from what little we can see of her) much older than Saeko.
146	* [[spoiler: In episode 28, she refers to Philip as "Raito," which, assuming the "Philip is a Sonozaki" theory is correct (and it is), would support this.]]
147	* [[spoiler:Further supported by the preview for Episode 44; one line of dialogue is, "Shroud is Philip's...". We'll know soon enough.]]
148	* [[spoiler:'''Confirmed'''. Shroud is Fumine Sonozaki.]]

151	[[spoiler: Someone else will have the Nasca Memory.]]
152	* [[spoiler: My money's on Ryu Terui after a FaceHeelTurn. The acceleration-based Kamen Rider appearing right after the super-speed Nazca disappears CAN'T be a coincidence.]]
153	** [[spoiler: Oh, yeah. There ''has'' to be a connection between Nasca and Accel. Think about it...Kirihiko's last words were about how much he loves the wind and the city, while Ryu's first words on-camera, two scenes later, were about how much he hates the wind and the city. In terms of personality, Ryu is the anti-Kirihiko, and thus someone Saeko might want to replace him. Kirihiko was [[AntiVillain nominally on the side of the villains]] but was still a [[NobleDemon decent man]] who [[WellIntentionedExtremist loved the city]]; Ryu is [[AntiHero nominally on the side of the heroes]] but is a total JerkAss. Kirihiko's morals lead him to a HeelFaceTurn; will Ryu's lack of morals lead him to a FaceHeelTurn?]]
154	*** [[spoiler: So who will replace Accel?]]
155	*** [[spoiler: Maybe he'll get a Double Driver and we'll get to see [=AccelNazca=].]]
156	*** [[spoiler: I think that if Weather defeats Accel in battle or does something that touches too raw a nerve for Ryu, that Ryu might decide Accel isn't strong enough to defeat Weather and ''then'' he'll want to use a Dopant Memory.]]
157	* [[spoiler: Alternately, Dr Isaka/Weather might absorb the powers of Nazca - given that one of his aims is to [[GottaCatchThemAll absorb as many GaiaMemories as possible...]] ]]
158	* [[spoiler: Recent magazine scans show images of a red Nazca Dopant.]]
159	* [[spoiler: It turns out Saeko is the red Nazca - using direct insertion, she manages to reach level 3...]]
160	** [[spoiler: IKnewIt]]
161
162	[[WMG: Shroud is Mrs. Narumi.]]
163	With all the speculation that she was married to Ryubee, nobody's considered she may have been married to Sokichi instead. Her war against the Sonozaki Family may be to avenge her husband, and her support of Philip may be to fulfill her husband's unfinished business. It would explain why she doesn't like Shotaro; she may very well see him as the man who failed to protect her husband.
164	* Not to mention she's familiar with the detective agency's rooms.
165	* '''Jossed'''. But [[spoiler:she did hire Sokichi to rescue Raito.]]
166
167	[[WMG: Shroud is [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Narutaki]] or is related to him.]]
168	Hatred for the rider? Sorta a check with the whole "Shotaro can [[spoiler: no longer be Double]]" and her shock to him achving [[spoiler: Xtreme form.]] Appears mysteriously and watches the battle unfold? Check. ConspicuousTrenchcoat? Check. Gives the SecondRider a belt (Yes, I just made Kuuga the Second Rider to Decade)? Check. Crazy WMG? Check.
169
170	[[WMG: Shroud is an EnergyBeing.]]
171	Shroud is actually long dead, but she managed to live on as an EnergyBeing, with her outfit as a containment suit. The glow surrounding her and the fact that every inch of her body, including her face, is covered points to this.
172	* '''Jossed'''.
173
174	[[WMG: Shroud is the client that sent Sokichi to save Phillip]]
175	It makes sense if Shroud was a Sonozaki, and if she values Phillip like she values Terui, then I can see that Isaka is right about her being the end of the Kamen Riders. Because she planned it all along.
176	* [[spoiler: Confirmed. Actually, I did saw this coming.]]

180	[[folder:F--king Gaia Memories, How Do They Work]]
181
182	[[WMG: Gaia memory is an alternate reality version of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII materia]]]]
183	Think about it. Materia is the planet's memories turned into power granting marbles. Going by name, Gaia Memory are most likely memories of Gaia placed into power granting sticks. And they both can be absorbed into bodies through special means. Not to mention that their sources are both forms of TheLifestream.
184
185	[[WMG: Gaia Memory uses MorphicResonance]]
186	The Gaia Memories are Morphic Patterns extracted from Earth's planetary Morphic Field, and channeled through the USB sticks to alter a user's pattern to match the Memory.
187
188	[[WMG: "Gaia Memory" is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin]]
189	We know Gaia Memories look like USB memory sticks. But, perhaps there's a double meaning: they may contain the literal memories of the Earth. We know the Sonozakis need Philip to create new Gaia Memories, that Philip can access all the knowledge on Earth, and that the Sonozakis have the inspirations for many Dopants in their museum. Gaia Memories must be the memories of the Earth, extracted from Philip's head using the museum's exhibits as keywords.
190	* With all the fossils and excavation digs surrounding the Sonozaki, shouldn't this be obvious already?
191	[[WMG: The [=DoubleDriver=] was developed as a way of controlling the power of the Fang Memory]]
192	The Fang memory is so powerful it can corrupt a person even if filtered through a regular Memory Driver. The only way to control it is through two separate minds working in sync. The other six Memories are like training to help the two users bond and learn how to work together.
193	[[WMG: [=FangMetal=] and [=FangTrigger=] will show up as soon as the writers get bored of Accel.]]
194	* Jossed. The series ended before they could show those forms.
195	** Not just yet. With two straight to DVD movies being released there is always a chance they could make more with the inclusion of [=FangMetal=] and [=FangTrigger=].
196	** While it's never happened on screen, we do have [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/kamenrider/images/4/4f/Sic59_FJ_and_Skull_07.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20131007010716 these figurines]] depicting [=FangMetal=] and [=FangTrigger=], implying that they are possible, they just never used them.
197	*** The novel for Double states that although the forms are possible, using them would be disastrous, since Shotaro's compatibility with the Joker Memory is what lets him keep the Fang Memory's berserker nature in check; he lacks such compatibility with the Trigger and Metal memories, meaning that [=FangTrigger=] and [=FangMetal=] would be uncontrollable.
198
199	[[WMG: The 'W' Memory stands for [=Weather=].]]
200	The logo on the Memory features rain, a tornado and lightning bolts, and we know he has ice power from the murder of Ryu's family.
201	* It's already a fact. So confirmed.
202
203	[[WMG: The Luna Memory was made from [[Franchise/GreenLantern Sinestro]]'s Yellow Power Ring]]
204	Because WMG isn't Wild enough.
205	* So Cyclone Memory was made from Kyptonite?
206
207	[[WMG: [=CycloneJoker=] Extreme has a form of [[{{Franchise/Nasuverse}} Mystic Eyes of Death Perception]]]]
208	[[Literature/TheGardenOfSinners Ryougi Shiki]] gained her Mystic Eyes after being connected to the Akasha, allowing her to fully understand the nature of everything around her. The power levels of Mystic Eyes are ColorCodedForYourConvenience with the strongest being "Rainbow", followed by "Jewel". And the [=MEoDP=] let the user inflict cuts which cannot be healed. The effects of the eyes are somewhat diluted by being shared between two hosts, however.
209
210	[[WMG: Very few of the Gaia Memory's are unique, most of them are mass produced]]
211	The best proof of this comes, oddly enough, from a Dopant we haven't seen. In the first episode Shotaro explains what Dopants are to Akiko along with a picture of an intact "Injury" Memory. There are also some measurements ruled next to it. In This Tropers opinion the image looks like it's been taken by Futo's police and Shotaro got an image to take back with him because he's on good terms with Jinno. Thus implying Futo Police either have the first Injury GM in storage, or have had it destroyed. In the same episode, Kirihiko appears to Marina and Togawa selling them the T-Rex and Magma memories, if you look closely, you can see that one of the Memory's in his suitcase Injury. You can probably see it in episode 3 (after he's fired on Phillip + Shotaro and is wondering why he hasn't heard about any of Double's Memories) as well but I'm not sure. This means that Kirihiko has the second Injury GM (if he hasn't sold it already) You can also see several memories that were in Kirihiko's case in the first episode. Then in Episode 12 during Sachi's flashback, one of the Gaia Memories that she is offered by the salesman is Injury. Therefore Nezu has a third Injury Memory. You can also see some other memories that
212	* This explains how Phillip is able to identify each Gaia Memory after performing a Lookup, he and Shotaro have already fought every Dopant at least once. For example, in episode 14 Phillip knows that the Dopant is "Violence" despite not seeing the memory being used, or anyone mention it. They knew it was Violence the moment they saw him in the park.
213	* It has been shown for a fact that Masquerade is mass-produced, so it may be possible for others, too.
214	* Further evidence from episode 20, Phillip doesn't know what the "W" memory is and so starts looking it up. He mentions "Winter" and then "White" before saying that no other Gaia-Memories beginning with "W" match what the Ice-Age Dopant is doing. To me, that implies that Gaia-Memories can be encountered more than once, otherwise he wouldn't even be considering the "White" and "Winter" memories.
215	* Pretty much confirmed by episode 49, when we see new Anomalocaris and Cockroach Dopants, despite these two Memories having been destroyed very early on.
216	* Not to mention way back in episodes 5-6, where not only was the existence of two Anomalocaris Memories a major plot point. Test model or not, it proved that there could be multiples ''very'' early on in the show's run. Proving less but still noteworthy, we see the Sonozakis inspecting a Gaia Memory factory where they're shown multiple identically coloured Memories.
217
218	[[WMG: Joker goes with everything]]
219	I thought this was obvious, but it doesn't seem to be confirmed canon. Joker is the wild card. Whenever there's a combo outside of the 9 usual ones for W, Shotaro uses the Joker memory because there's never any drawbacks with it. [[color:cyan:Fang]]Joker and[[color:green:Cyclone]]Joker [[color:silver:Xtreme]]'s forms are admittedly less flexible because of this, but even they change the Joker half a bit. [[color:cyan:Fang]][[color:blue:Trigger]] for example could be unstable or just not work.
220
221	[[WMG: Phillip and Shotaro both have super-compatible memories]]
222	Shotaro's is Joker, in keeping with his wild card persona and the above WMG. Philip is more difficult. His seems to be Cyclone, since he uses it the most and, when his power was increasing, it manifested in the Cyclone memory (see when Terui uses it). However, Fang was custom-made for him, extra-powerful like the other super-compatible Dopants and it is always used with his body as the base. It may be artificially super-compatible with him while Cyclone is naturally so.
223	** Confirmed with Joker kind of. The T2 Gaia Memories sought out the person they were most compatible with. Who did the Joker Memory seek out? Shotaro.
224
225	[[WMG: The Fang Memory is derived from [[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger AbareKiller's DinoGuts]].]]
226	Hence its color, spikes, and being a berserker.
227
228	[[WMG: The Sonozaki's Gaia Memories effected them even with their Drivers]]
229	They used extremely powerful memories and the Nasca Memory hurt its user even with a Driver. This was why they were all mostly psychoatic in some way and why even Ryubee [[spoiler: was redeemed after death]], Wakana was only spared (for the most part) because she was compatible with it. This would explain why Ryubee went completely insane afterwards, he'd probably been using his longer than the others since the show made it seem like he was responsible for everything.
230
231	[[WMG: The Fang Memory never recovered from the Eternal Requiem]]
232	This explains why [=FangJoker=] was never used again. Look at the memory, doesn't it scream "Dead" to you?
233
234	[[WMG: A "Dopant" Gaia Memory exists]]
235	In which case, we'd get the Dopant Dopant. There has to be a base for everything right?
236	* The upcoming W/OOO movie ''does'' reportedly feature the Memory Memory (as in, personal memories)
237
238	[[WMG: The Badass Memory could beat Terror]]
239	Because badass cannot be affected terror
240
241	[[WMG: Terui Ryu's compatibility with Phillip's Memories is tested again within the year between #48 and #49]]
242	Kamen Rider Heat initially fails from the temperature buildup, and Kamen Rider Lunar's effects were... freaky, so Ryu saves them for the Engine Blade while using the Cyclone memory to become Kamen Rider Cyclone, with a racing bike form (not to mention that the addition of a green form lets the theme coloring mimic the better-known red-yellow-green international traffic light system).
243	* It's also possible that the using Lunar in the Accel Driver lets Ryu turn into a [[{{Franchise/Tron}} lightcycle]].
244	** Counter by the fact that Shroud specifically imagined Ryu taking Shotaro's place in Cyclone Accel Extreme, as opposed to taking Phillip's. It's more likely that Ryu tried to take Phillip's place with the Accel memory in place of the Cyclone Memory, but the Lost Driver didn't accept the memory and didn't transform.
245
246	[[WMG: The Weather Memory only gives the power to control the weather on its own]]
247	Pretty much, if he hadn't absorbed other Gaia Memories, all Isaka would've been able to do was control the weather itself, not generate ice or the like from his own body. The reason he could was he absorbed Gaia Memories to give them those powers. He only absorbed those types because his Weather Memory could control weather, allowing him to control the power of so many Gaia Memories being used at once. [[spoiler:That's why wen the Weather Memory, he was consumed by the Living Connectors, without it to control them, he suffered the fate of someone trying to directly use multiple Gaia Memories at once.]]
248	** [[MagikarpPower On it's own, it likely could only control clouds, until he started taking other people's Gaia Memories.]]

257	As one of the earliest test subjects for Foundation X's ressurection technology, Kazu's revived body had some 'bugs' in the form of neurological disorders including [[ExpospeakGag facial pareisis]][[note]]Partial loss of movement in the face.[[/note]], [[ExpospeakGag dysprosody]][[note]]Inability to control the tone of one's speaking voice.[[/note]], and [[ExpospeakGag focal hand dystonia]][[note]]Involuntary muscle spasms in the hands during certain specific activities, such as trying to hold something.[[/note]].
258	* Jossed, that how he normally is
259
260	[[WMG:The Great Leader from the original Kamen Rider is the real leader of Foundation X.]]
261	Aw, come on, if Museum MIGHT be related to Shocker, why can't Foundation X be the real new representation of Shocker?
262	* Foundation X is pretty much Shocker. Evil-looking logo? Check. Secretive operations? Check. Mooks? Check. Dabbling in all sorts of weird stuff? Check.
263	* So, maybe in the Decade X Double Crossover, Foundation X commissioned Ryubee to create the Shinigami memory and find Natsumi Hikari's grandfather who was once the original Dr. Shinigami and bring him back to Shocker, either as Foundation X or the latter as its front. So it might make sense.
264
265	[[WMG: Foundation X will be the BigBad of a several series arch]]
266	They funded the villains of this series and they're funding research into O Medals (possibily the Kougami Foundation). They'll have a role in OOO, then the next series. After several series, there will be a series were their ultimate plan comes to front and all the Riders in the arch will team up against them.
267	Not exactly series, but [[CrisisCrossover Movie War Megamax]] does feature Foundation X as its BigBad - and the Legendary Seven Kamen Riders ([[Series/KamenRider 1 and 2]], [[Series/KamenRiderV3 V3, Riderman]], [[Series/KamenRiderX X-Rider]], [[Series/KamenRiderAmazon Amazon]], and [[Series/KamenRiderStronger Stronger]]) fighting them around the world.
268
269	[[WMG: Foundation X's true leader is [[Franchise/KamenRider The Great Leader]]]]
270	Foundation X is involved in various incidents in the other series, it will be revealed in a future series their leader is the Great Leader trying to continue were he left off in the Showa Era.

276	[[WMG:Asuka's missing father is [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Kamen Rider Knight]] in disguise]]
277	That explains the girl's doll.
278	* If the little girl is about five years old, that means he'd have had to break up with his canon girlfriend, meet the child's mother, and knock her up very soon after the end of Ryuki. Fast worker? Rebound relationship?
279
280	[[WMG: Kamen Rider Double will end on a cliffhanger.]]
281	* [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Until the movie.]]
282	** Jossed. The movie takes place between Episodes 44 and 45.
283
284	[[WMG: Detective Jinno knows more about this Dopant business than he's letting on.]]
285	He practically lets Shotaro have free rein at the crime scenes, which would have gotten him reassigned to some other prefecture if Internal Affairs found out; and he's a [[ObfuscatingStupidity textbook case of]] BunnyEarsLawyer (much like the ORE boss in Ryuki and the Blue Sky boss in Kiva). [[spoiler:Shotaro is definitely going to need his help if rumors of Accel being another detective on Shotaro's case are true.]]
286	** Naw, he seems more of a InspectorLestrade to this troper, but he has room to grow.
287
288	[[WMG: [[Videogame/EarthBound1994 You cannot grasp the true form of]] Terror's attack]]
289	* Not this one though. You can get a [[{{Pun}} grip]] on it with this one
290
291	[[WMG: The show will be exactly 52 episodes long.]]
292	Each two-parter uses a different letter of the alphabet in the episode title. Assuming all 26 letters get used once, that's 52 episodes total.
293	* This would make it longer than every New Generation Rider series so far[[note]]Series/KamenRiderAgito had 51 episodes, [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Ryuki]] and [[Series/KamenRider555 555]] had 50, [[Series/KamenRiderKuuga Kuuga]], [[Series/KamenRiderBlade Blade]], [[Series/KamenRiderKabuto Kabuto]], and [[Series/KamenRiderDenO Den-O]] had 49, [[Series/KamenRiderHibiki Hibiki]] and [[Series/KamenRiderKiva Kiva]] had 48, and Series/KamenRiderDecade had a run of 31 episodes[[/note]], if it holds.
294	* The next season is set to start September 5th, so if ''Double'' runs an episode every week until then, that totals 49. So you were close, and if you count both movies as 2 episodes a piece, that's 53, so your ''still'' close.
295	* Well, Double's part in the Crossover Movie with Decade could be considered half a movie, in which case it works out to 52.
296	* Can be ticked off as confirmed - the series ends at 49 eps with only the letters A to Y used. TheMovie is named ''Forever A to'' '''Z'''.
297	** One problem. Zone Dopant in episode 38.
298	** And now there's the in-continuity novel: ''The One Who Comes After '''Z'''''. So confirmed.
299
300	[[WMG: The series is set in an alternate continuity of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' where Gendo Ikari won.]]
301	Gendo successfully crushed Rei's will and merged with Adam and Lillith, gaining control over Instrumentality. Why else would the Gaia Memories have [[Creator/FumihikoTachiki his voice]]?
302	* Another thing of note: The Terror Dopant's ability involves goo called the Terror Field. In EVA, AT field stands for ''Anti''-Terror Field. Something for you to stir in.
303	* Again, another thing to note: [[spoiler: The Gaia Impact is an AssimilationPlot, just like Instrumentality]].
304
305	[[WMG: The series takes place in a universe where much of the Toei Heroverse either exists in exile or is Brainwashed and Crazy.]]
306	* Spielban: Now grown from his days of fighting Wahrer, he is now a teacher.
307	* Inazuman: Has been turned into Kamen Rider Eternal through a strange turn of events.
308	* Kaiketsu Zubat: The Zubat suit was remodeled into Accel's armor once Ken Hayabusa retired it.
309	* Uchuu Keiji: Disbanded.
310	* Kamen Rider Ichigo: Used as a template for a Dopant.
311	* Jossed.
312
313	[[WMG:The yeti at the end of episode 42 was a Dopant.]]
314	How ''else'' would you explain such a bizarre creature from out of nowhere, thought to be the stuff of legends, showing up in Futo?
315	* Jossed. It was just part of a BigLippedAlligatorMoment. Nothing more.
316
317	[[WMG: Kirihiko, Isaka, and Jun were just to signify when one act ends and another begins.]]
318	At the start of Double, we are introduced to Kirihiko, among the rest of the cast, [[spoiler: when he dies]] the first act ended. Accel, Shroud, and Isaka appeared, begining the second act. More depth was added to the show and soon, as [[spoiler: Isaka dies]], the second act comes to an end. When the third act began, we are introduced to Jun, Foundation X, and NEVER. It was when Jun shows up that everything begins to hit the fan at once, everything that was foreshadowed in the two acts until it all boils down to the climax. When [[spoiler: Jun and the overall big bad, Ryubee, dies]], the show ends with a WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue. Jun, Isaka, Kirihiko weren't just shoutouts to the generals of the Showa Kamen Rider series, but place holders, to warn us when the next level of the story is taking place.
319
320	[[WMG:Many of the characters are [[TabletopGame/GeniusTheTransgression Geniuses]].]]
321	Shroud is a Grimm, Ryubee is a Hoffnung, Shotaro is a Klagen (he channels his Mania into detective work), Saeko is a Neid, and Philippe as well as Isaka are Staunens. \
322	Also, Akkiko is a Beholden, the Library is a Bardo, and the Gaia Memories - and by extension the Drivers - were developed so that the Uninspired could use Wonders without triggering Havoc.
323
324	[[WMG: The winds empowering W in the final battle of TheMovie were truly [[spoiler:Kirihiko.]]]]
325	I mean, think back to the scene in which he died in the show -- then consider it's the winds doing the powering-up.
326
327	[[WMG: The world of Kamen Rider W that we know from the show is a Decade AR World and the World of the Rider War.]]
328	This explains how W met up with Decade so easily in Movie Wars 2010; Decade's battle was just out of Futo. Then there's the discrepancies between the OOO TV series and OOO in A-to-Z and Movie Wars CORE. The events of Nobunaga's Ambition take place in W's World, but not in the OOO's TV series world.
329	* It also explains why Kamen Rider is considered a mantle of honor, the world of the Rider War was all the AR Worlds merged together, so all of the Riders exist in W's world. ''Let's Go Kamen Rider'' also takes place in this merged world.
330	* Jossed.
331
332	[[WMG: Possible American adaptation guesses]]
333	* To keep the setting of a "windy city", it would be set in Chicago.
334	** The show will get a subtitle:
335	-->Kamen Rider Double: Windy City Warrior Detectives
336	* In a nod to ''VideoGame/SonicColors'', the Gaia Memories would be redubbed by Roger Craig Smith.
337	* Kamen Rider Skull would be played by [[ActorAllusion Jason]] [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Narvy]].
338	* Shotaro Hidari's adaptation equivalent would have the surname Sinister[[note]]which means "left"[[/note]], have the nickname "Lefty," and is left-handed.
339	** Consequently, Phillip would become Dexter, which means "right-handed".
340
341	[[WMG: Kamen Rider Core is made from Akiko's resentment towards Kamen Riders]]
342	Alright, this is gonna be a pretty long WMG, but it'll make sense soon. Throughout the events of Movie War Core, mostly Double's half, we see that Akiko hasn't really been fond of Kamen Riders, forbidding Ryu to transform and getting bummed up as to finding out why her dad was never around. When the Pteradon Yummy used the Memory Memory on her, it unleashed some hidden emotional resentment towards them and became the foundation for Kamen Rider Core.
343
344	His designs represent her memories of Kamen Rider. His helmet looks like that of a skull, the Gaia Memory Akiko's father uses in battle, while him being on fire could represent what might be the clincher for why Akiko forbidden Ryu to transform: his defeat at the hands of Utopia, which involved him being set on fire. His ability to turn into a bike can also be connected to Ryu, whose alter ego allows him to do just that.
