W 16 released (No HD yet)

Post by Phoenix512 »

Philip has to save Akito and Shoutarou from the Arms Dopant while escaping from Sakeo. It looks like he will need some help after all.

Spoiler
It makes sense that the Double Driver would work the other way as well with Philip's body being the one that transforms while Shoutarou's body is knocked out. Fang is pretty neat with the blades growing at various parts of the body along with the dinosaur head shaped in placed in the Double Driver itself. Kirihiko has redeemed himself in Saeko's eyes with that rescue along with W itself regaining its rep as a hero when saving that child.

I like the Fang gadget/Memory hybrid. It's an interesting way of making use of the left-right differences

Also, looks like Philip can transform too, but his body is too weak to last very long

I like this ep on showing a bit of growth on Philip and the oh-so-cute-but-DANG-STRONG-and-DANGEROUS Fang Memory
Spoiler
(come on - it can TRANSFORM)
.

And cue up the "I KNEW IT!!!"s from those that have been pondering since the episodes involving the Money Dopant...

The minute i saw Fang Joker, i thought "holy shit, its Abarekiller!!" lols. This situation is also kinda similar to Kuuga a bit but not as severe as Shoutaro is there to help Phillip come back to his senses.

Spoiler
Im guessing this isn't his true final form tho (and given the fact that they had this since the beginning for the most part but of course we gotta wait for the movie for more), wonder if there'll be a hybrid memory on Shoutaro's side of the driver.


So now that they know who Taboo is in human form....guess they'll dig deeper from now on while doing other requests....

It was pretty obvious since the money episode...

Spoiler
Yeah, he missed the Gatack zecter that Shoutaro somehow stole.

The Stag phone resembles Gatack Zecter and the flying Beetle Gadget that we see at the end of the episode resembles Kabuto Zecter (i mean, with a different color scheme and all)

Fang Joker? more like [insert Abaranger joke here]!

Pretty awesome design. Although, the fact that Raito has one more memory than Hidari bothers me.
The Joker side also transforming somewhat makes up for that though.

I think that this will be the only other memory he gets. Double's theme is Mix-and-match, so it would make more sense this way.

In b4 TATSUMAKI SENPUU KYAKU! :P

-As someone said earlier, I couldn't help but think this was like AbaRed vs. AbareKiller. Arms Dopant is even the right color too.

-Fang memory is actually kind of adorable. When it roars, it sounds like it's saying "Philip! Philip!"

-The burning bookshelves scene is probably on my list on one of the most well-directed moments I've ever seen in Kamen Rider. Hell, maybe in toku altogether. I notice whenever something is on real fire in toku, it's automatically awesome (for example, GoseiGreat's finisher)

-I'm hearing Fang Strizer too but everywhere seems to say Fang Strider (probably because Strizer isn't a word) Lol'ed at realizing, it's like he's doing a ONE TWO THREE...RIDER KICK Gatack style

-Seiji is such a great suit actor when Metal side is raising his fist and Heat side kept putting it down. It makes it very believable that he's really two people in one body.

-Fat Philip= :lol:

Fang-Joker has sort of a reverse Ying-Yang quality to it with the Fang part being more chaotic and Joker acting as a balance to it. Also it's interesting that Fang in memory mode need to be primed for attacks & finishers, I wonder if it was an early prototype Gaia Memory that was repurposed to protect Philip?

To be honest, I found this episode to be a little bit of a let down. I mean, the preview for it was longer then usual, but all got resolved nice and cleanly in the end. And lets face it, somehow, the weaknesses of Fang Joker will be written out eventually.

Although, I like Shotarou coming up with the finisher move.

Heh, so I'm not the only one who got the apparent Abare-references(esp FangJoker looking like AbareKiller) ^_^.

I really liked this episode, the whole arc was done really well so that Phillip dosn't just stay in the Room but has to actually get out and save himself as well as Shotaoru and Akiko. I also liked that the Belt goes both ways and that Phillip can summon it as well with Shou going into Phillip's left side. OMG the burning Library scene was one of the best I've seen already, Phillip was counting on Shou to come and bring him out of the Berserk-mode. Well worth the two week wait though I've been going *__* 'wanna see!' and all.

I hope they do more with the Fang Memory, though not just 'oh we solved the issue in one ep with no more side-effects' thing like what usually happens on some shows. That and the new beetle one we saw flying around, though for some reason I have to say I actually thought 'Tatsulot??' when I saw it flying around. ^_^

I have to say I also liked Kirihiko redeeming himself and telling Saeko he'd been training for her. As much as they are the villains apparently in this, I have to say I do like the Sonozaki family as characters and that we're seeing more depth to them as much as we see character growth in Shou, Phillip and even Akiko.
