Some things I wanna point out.

Image

Shotaro's skin gets markings. It's definitely not debris. Here's a second angle.

Image

Here's a shining moment from Captain Obvious.

Image

The briefcase full of GaiaMemories has some interesting ones in these, specifically the "You" Memory. Perhaps Ishinomori Productions is picking out random English nouns?

Image

Same briefcase, but with two Memories we saw back in Episode 1.

Image

Finally, I wonder who this could be~?

Image

Just to recap, the Memories seen so far in the briefcase are;
Apple, Lightning, Orange, Car, Dog, Hell, Zero, Magma, Injury, T-Rex, Jazz, Music, Bean, Time, Key, Umbrella, Gravitation, You, Crab, and Pyramid.

This series is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I loved pretty much everything about this episode, except the CG, that needs work. I loved the Heat Memory though (I like fire) and those repeated Falcon punches were awesome. The bike being able to switch forms is incredibly awesome and I think I loved that the most about this episode. The Heat/Metal Memory Break was sick. Shoutarou using those Bat and Stag gadgets was really cool. I'm just really liking the series so far and I can't wait to see where it'll go from here.

Yeah, I meant the images. I still think you would have to look at stills where you can clearly see what the icon on each Memory looks like. There's at least one clear frame for every episode as far as I can tell.

I demand that W use the Apple and Orange memories so we can finally compare apples and oranges.

Fantastic episode, I liked the detective work playing into it. W has a cool bike, but I want to see more of it before I declare it more awesome than the Kabuto bikes. Blade's bike could have been the coolest if he'd use the Bike Rouse system a lot more.

Ahahahaha nice one.

I can't wait to see more of his bike in action. Also I'd love to see W (Double) go Luna/Heat but I don't think he can because both of those were used by Phillip on the left side and not Shoutarou on the right. It would be so sick if he could though. Time will tell.

I'm pretty intrigued by this series now, but not really as a KR series, though it does feel like watching Den-O all over again.

Man, it was kinda sad to see Lunagel be the Dopant of the episode, though I shrugged when no other culprit was found.

I hope Shotaro will learn to solve cases himself instead of using PhillipSearch. At least he's not using P-Mail or Phillip Docs.

Also, yeah, this is pretty much a random list of nouns. Bean? Apple? Did the writers throw darts at their Japanese-English Dictionary?

Okay, time to throw in my two yen.

Well, after this episode, Kamen Rider W/Double/Whatever the hell you wanna call it, has the distinct honor of being the first Kamen Rider series that I'm going to follow all the way through.

But lemme get one thing off my chest first.

I fucking HATE Akiko. She's become VERY annoying VERY quickly.

I never thought I would meet a KR girl that I hated as much as Mari from Faiz. Sadly, I was wrong.

Not only does she barge into their office with an eviction notice without so much as an explanation, but the little twat seems to enjoy shoving it in Shotaro's face while wearing a shit-eating grin.

She's also VERY nosy, constantly bugging Shotaro about stuff that's none of her fucking business.

And did I mention how sick I am of her constantly whining "I didn't hear anything about this!"?

At least I enjoyed seeing her in mortal peril throughout the fight. But even my enjoyment of that was hampered by the fact that she was constantly screaming for help when it was HER OWN DAMN FAULT she was in that mess in the first place, and that her constant stupidity was getting in W's way.

And at the end, after proving herself to be both annoying and COMPLETELY useless, she goes and declares herself chief of the agency, when she has NOTHING to contribute besides lugging Phillip's lifeless carcass around.

I hate Akiko. I hate her with the firey passion of a thousand Heat GaiaMemories. She'd better redeem herself pretty damn quick, or I hope the next Dorpant rapes and eats her.

/end long overdue rant

Anyway, my thoughts on this episode.

*Shotaro and Philip have an interesting partnership. Looking forward to seeing how it pans out.

*Seeing Marina licking her lips and saying she was gonna eat Shotaro scared the piss outta me.

*Bike with interchangeable parts - awesome.

*Flaming metal staff - also awesome.

*Judging from the finishing moves, I'd say Joker is hand-to-hand and Metal is armed combat.

*I kinda feel sorry for Philip when they're transformed. Having to constantly attack with one arm and one leg must be a pain in the ass. (Or in Phillip's case, the right ass-cheek)

*It's nice to see that Gaia Memories can be applied to weapons and not just the body. I wonder if we'll see any finishers for Cyclone, Heat, or Luna?

So yeah, great ep. And I'm looking forward to the next one. It's a casino. And casinos + private eyes = awesome. I also hope we get to see Trigger. Guns are cool. Huh huh huh......

Just a couple things I'm wondering.

*Will Shotaro and Philip always use the Cyclone/Joker combo when they transform? Or can they start off with other combos?

*How come W didn't de-henshin when he yanked out both Gaia Memories? For that matter, how come he doesn't de-henshin when he yanks out one?
