Kamen Rider Double in his CycloneJoker formation. This is the primary form seen in advertisements and the first form that Double is depicted as in all media. The duality motif and that of the letter W is visible in all of Double's 10 forms.

Kamen Rider Double (仮面ライダーＷ（ダブル）, Kamen Raidā Daburu) is the primary and eponymous protagonist of the 2009–2010 Kamen Rider Series Kamen Rider Double. Double's name is taken from the English word double as he is the first Kamen Rider that transforms from two people, and his motif is that of the letter W. His debut was a cameo in the film Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker.

Shotaro Hidari

Shotaro Hidari (左 翔太郎, Hidari Shōtarō, portrayed by Renn Kiriyama) is a self-dubbed "hardboiled detective", though considered "halfboiled" by others to his dislike, who dresses in the style from the 1940s and wears a black fedora made by the Windscale design house. He has a sharp intuition and may even figure out the culprit behind a crime before having Philip confirm his or her identity. Vowing to ensure that no one ever feels sad, Shotaro took on the job as the protege of Futo's private investigator Sokichi Narumi. However, during the Begins Night (ビギンズナイト, Biginzu Naito) incident, an investigation into a mysterious organization led to Shotaro meeting Philip prior to Narumi's death, leaving Shotaro to continue in his stead. A year later, refusing to let his mentor's death be in vain, Shotaro works to stop the Dopant crime wave by being the man on the street, contacting his various informants and transforming into Kamen Rider Double by providing his body for the formation. Shotaro takes the role of Kamen Rider Double very seriously and with great pride as the name "Kamen Rider" was given to them by the citizens themselves. As such, he tries to make a good name for Kamen Rider Double. His surname is literally translated as "left" (左, hidari) and his Gaia Memories provide the left side of any Double formation.[1][2][3]

Philip

Philip (フィリップ, Firippu, portrayed by Masaki Suda) is a mysterious young man who possesses the true Gaia Memory (地球の記憶, Chikyū no Kioku), referred to as the "Chosen Child" (運命の子, Unmei no Ko) whose powers were used to create the Gaia Memories and whoever possesses him would rule the world. After being rescued by Shotaro and Sokichi Narumi from the Museum, receiving his name from the latter, Philip aids Shotaro in order to atone for being used as a puppet by his captors. He investigates Dopant activity through his ability to access the Gaia Library (地球（ほし）の本棚, Hoshi no Hondana), a collection of all of the information in the known world within his conscious mind. However, due to having no memory of his life before being rescued and the need to keep his location secret from the people Shotaro rescued him from, he usually spends his time in the Detective Agency's secret hangar, reading about common topics that he finds interesting. Sometimes his unintentional focus on a topic will turn into an obsession that overwhelms him until he knows everything about that subject, often getting in the way of ongoing investigations. Once seen by Saeko Sonozaki, she calls him Raito (来人). He fights the Dopants with Shotaro, allowing his consciousness to separate from his body to fight as Kamen Rider Double, providing the Gaia Memories for the right side of Double.[1][2][3] Philip was named by Sokichi Narumi after the fictional detective Philip Marlowe. His name is alternatively spelled as "Philippe" in the aura that is produced when he accesses the Gaia Library. His real name "Raito" is pronounced similarly to the English word "right", as he forms the right side of any Double formation.

Forms

Like many of the Kamen Riders before him, Double has the ability to transform into multiple forms that are accessed through Shotaro and Philip's USB flash drives called Gaia Memories (ガイアメモリ, Gaia Memori). The Gaia Memories that Kamen Rider Double uses to access different powers depend on which two Gaia Memories are used in combination with each other. When Shotaro and Philip set their Gaia Memories into the Double Driver Belt, Philip's conscious mind enters Shotaro's body to produce Double. Their quote at the start of a battle is "Now, count your crimes!" (さあ、お前の罪を数えろ！, Saa, omae no tsumi o kazoero!), a quote originally used by Sokichi Narumi.[1][2][3] When combined as Double, Shotaro usually does most of the talking, though both speak when saying their pre-battle quote and announcing Maximum Drive attacks. When Philip speaks by himself when transformed, Double's right eye flashes. Double's ability to function is dependent on the condition of both Shotaro and Philip. If their synchronization is somehow disrupted, Kamen Rider Double will be unable to move properly. If their Rider form takes any damage at all, both of them will feel the pain after returning to normal and Philip will often pass out due to his weaker constitution.

CycloneJoker

CycloneJoker (サイクロンジョーカー, Saikuron Jōkā) is the first form used by Kamen Rider Double, first seen in All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker, the first form utilized within the television series, and the main form associated with the Kamen Rider Double series. It is colored green and black and is accessed from the Cyclone and Joker Memories. In this form, Double's kicks are powered by wind, increasing the damage and adding cutting potential. This form's finishing move is a drop kick Rider Kick called the Joker Extreme (ジョーカーエクストリーム, Jōkā Ekustorīmu). During the move, a tiny controlled tornado lifts Kamen Rider Double into the air before Double's body splits down the middle as the halves reach their target. A variation of this attack involves Kamen Rider Double jumping off the back wheel of Kamen Rider Accel Bike Form, allowing for faster acceleration upon descent.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

  • During the events of Shotaro's jidaigeki-influenced dream, this form is known as ShippūKirifuda (疾風切札), and the Gaia Memories are replaced by wooden placards known as kifuda (木札).
  • In Akiko's dream, where Shotaro is the mind and she is the body of Kamen Rider Double, the belt announces that she is the "Masked Beauty of Naniwa" (なにわの美少女仮面, Naniwa no Bishōjo Kamen) after the transformation into CycloneJoker.

HeatMetal

HeatMetal (ヒートメタル, Hīto Metaru) is the second form used by Kamen Rider Double, first appearing in the Decade movie All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker. It is colored red and silver and is accessed from the Heat and Metal Memories. In this form, the damage from the Metal Shaft is increased by fire. A common tactic used by Double is to turn around while changing to this form, using the Metal Shaft on his back to block enemy attacks. His finishing attack is the Metal Branding (メタルブランディング, Metaru Burandingu), causing one or both ends of the Metal Shaft to ignite on fire and deliver a final blow to the opponent.[1][2][3][4][7]

LunaTrigger

LunaTrigger (ルナトリガー, Runa Torigā) is a form that first appears in the television series. It is a gold and blue form accessed from the Luna and Trigger Memories. In this form, Kamen Rider Double's Trigger Magnum is able to fire gold and blue bolts that can curve and track targets. Its finishing attack is the Trigger Full Burst (トリガーフルバースト, Torigā Furu Bāsuto), which fires multiple charged homing shots at the enemy.[8][9][10]

Half Changes

Due to the nature of the Double Driver, there are a total of nine different combinations that Kamen Rider Double can assume which combine the combat abilities of the left side with the elemental affinities of the right side. By performing a Half Change (ハーフチェンジ, Hāfu Chenji), Double can assume any of the six secondary forms. In the original descriptions of the forms, Kamen Rider Double could only be able to perform a Maximum Drive in only one of the three primary forms. Since then, nearly all of the Half Changes have had a Maximum Drive finisher.

HeatJoker

HeatJoker (ヒートジョーカー, Hīto Jōkā) is the first Half Change form used by Kamen Rider Double when he appears in the Kamen Rider Decade film, colored red and black and is accessed through the Heat and Joker Memories. In this form, Double can throw flaming punches by means of the Heat Memory's powers.[1][2][3][4][11] The form's Maximum Drive finisher is the Joker Grenade (ジョーカーグレネード, Jōkā Gurenēdo) Rider Punch, during which Kamen Rider Double somersaults in mid-air, then HeatJoker's body splits down the middle during descent as the halves each hit the target with elementally energized hooks.

LunaJoker

LunaJoker (ルナジョーカー, Runa Jōkā) is the first Half Change form used by Double within the series, a gold and black-colored form accessed through the Luna and Joker Memories. In this form, Double has the ability to stretch his right limbs by means of the Luna Memory's powers.[12][13]

CycloneMetal

CycloneMetal (サイクロンメタル, Saikuron Metaru) is a green and silver-colored Half Change accessed through the Cyclone and Metal Memories. In this form, Double can wield the Metal Shaft by means of the Metal Memory's powers. When swung, the Metal Shaft creates blades of wind by means of the Cyclone Memory. The form's Maximum Drive finisher is the Metal Twister (メタルツイスター, Metaru Tsuisutā) where Double spins around while swinging the Metal Shaft covered in an aura of wind.[14]

LunaMetal

LunaMetal (ルナメタル, Runa Metaru) is a gold and silver-colored Half Change accessed through the Luna and Metal Memories. In this form, Double can wield the Metal Shaft by means of the Metal Memory's powers, using the Luna Memory's abilities to use it like a whip.[15] The form's Maximum Drive finisher is the Metal Illusion (メタルイリュージョン, Metaru Iryūjon) where Double spins the Metal Shaft around to create golden rings that float around Double, before unleashing them upon the target all at once.

CycloneTrigger

CycloneTrigger (サイクロントリガー, Saikuron Torigā) is a green and blue-colored Half Change accessed through the Cyclone and Trigger Memories. In this form, Double wields the Trigger Magnum by means of the Trigger Memory's powers and is able to shoot out high compressed air by means of the Cyclone Memory's powers.[8][9][16]

HeatTrigger

HeatTrigger (ヒートトリガー, Hīto Torigā) is a red and blue-colored Half Change accessed through the Heat and Trigger Memories. In this form, Double wields the Trigger Magnum by means of the Trigger Memory's powers and shoots fire blasts by means of the Heat Memory's powers.[8][9][17] The form's Maximum Drive finisher is Trigger Explosion (トリガーエクスプロージョン, Torigā Ekusupurōjon), which fires a single constant stream of fire that completely melts the enemy. During one of the early encounters with the Weather Dopant, Double used a Twin Maximum Drive with this form, which allowed Double to shoot a concentrated fireball that burned everything in its path at the expense of Shotaro's physical well-being.

FangJoker

FangJoker (ファングジョーカー, Fangu Jōkā) is a white and black form that Kamen Rider Double first uses to escape from Philip's captors during the events of the Begins Night as seen in Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Double & Decade: Movie War 2010. As the Fang Memory was designed for Philip, he and Shotaro's roles as Double are reversed in FangJoker, with Shotaro's consciousness transferred into Philip's body for the transformation. However, the transformation was extremely taxing on Philip's body as he tends to lose control of himself in this form during its first two uses. In addition, they cannot stay in the FangJoker form for too long due to Philip's weaker body. By activating the Fang Memory's horn between one and three times, FangJoker is able to summon a bladed weapon that forms on various portions of FangJoker's body. One time summons the Arm Saber (アームセイバー, Āmu Seibā) on FangJoker's wrist to be used as a close combat weapon; two times summons the Shoulder Saber (ショルダーセイバー, Shorudā Seibā), which can be removed from FangJoker's right shoulder to be used as a dagger or boomerang-like weapon; three times summons the Maximum Saber (マキシマムセイバー, Makishimamu Seibā) on FangJoker's right ankle. This last Saber is used to perform FangJoker's Maximum Drive: the flying roundhouse Rider Kick Fang Streiser (ファングストライザー, Fangu Sutoraizā), in which a projection of the Fang Memory's head is shown "biting" the opponent when Double comes in contact.[18]

CycloneJoker Xtreme

CycloneJoker Xtreme (サイクロンジョーカーエクストリーム, Saikuron Jōkā Ekusutorīmu) is the evolved form of CycloneJoker accessed with the Xtreme Memory, linking it directly to the infinite knowledge of the true Gaia Memory through the iridescent band going down the middle of Kamen Rider Double's body called the Crystal Server (クリスタルサーバー, Kurisutaru Sābā). It also represents the perfect union between Shotaro and Philip. The knowledge of this form allows Double to instantly analyze the opponent's capabilities. Upon transforming, the middle of Double begins to glow as the Xtreme Memory absorbs the Cyclone and Joker Memories and attaches itself onto the Double Driver. The Xtreme Memory opens up revealing a spinning X as Double rips open the center revealing the prism-colored center. Unlike the other forms of Double, where Shotaro or Philip provide the body for their Rider Form, the Xtreme Memory absorbs Philip's body and fuses it with Shotaro's body in their Rider Form becoming one in body, mind and soul. Thus when either Philp or Shotaro speaks on their own, their respective side's eye flashes, they also appear together as soon as they break the transformation. CycloneJoker Xtreme's Maximum Drive is the Double Xtreme (ダブルエクストリーム, Daburu Ekusutorīmu) Rider Kick. In this form, Double wields the Prism Bicker which has its own Maximum Drives.[19][20][21] Unlike the other forms of Double, CycloneJoker Xtreme's motif also includes the letter X.[22]

Equipment

Double Driver

The Double Driver (ダブルドライバー, Daburu Doraibā) is Kamen Rider Double's transformation belt, a second generation Memory Driver developed for the user to link with Philip to access his abilties. Unlike earlier models, the Double Driver uses two Gaia Memories at once for even more power for the user. There is only one, physical, Double Driver, but when Shotaro places it on him, another Double Driver manifests itself onto Philip. By inserting the Gaia Memories into the respective Memory Slots (メモリスロット, Memori Surotto) on their belt buckles, Shotaro and Philip can transform into Double.[1][2][3] The Left Slot holds Shotaro's Gaia Memories and the Right Slot holds Philip's. When Philip puts a Gaia Memory into the Right Slot, he undergoes Soul Forward (ソウルフォワード, Souru Fowādo), sending his soul to Shotaro to transform both of them into Kamen Rider Double. Another slot on the right side of the Double Driver is called the Maximum Slot (マキシマムスロット, Makishimamu Surotto). When a Memory is placed in the Maximum Slot, Double can use a Maximum Drive (マキシマムドライブ, Makishimamu Doraibu) finisher attack. This specific slot is used for the Joker Memory to execute either the Joker Extreme (CycloneJoker) or the Joker Grenade (HeatJoker) Maximum Drives. In other forms, it can be used to insert the right half's Memory, allowing for a Twin Maximum attack, but this is immensely dangerous due to the strain it puts on Shotaro's body. As long as the Double Driver is worn by both Shotaro and Philip, they can telepathically communicate with each other provided that both of them are conscious outside the transformation to Double.[23]

Gaia Memories

The Gaia Memories (ガイアメモリ, Gaia Memori) are mysterious USB flash drives imbued with the powers of the Earth itself. Originally created with funding by the Sonozaki Family, these Gaia Memories end up in the possession of Shotaro and Philip, and can only be used through the Double Driver. Compared to the Gaia Memories used by Dopants, the Memories used by Kamen Rider Double are much more refined in appearance, something that Shinkuro Isaka states is indicative of the limits placed on their powers. Two can be inserted into the Double Driver, allowing Shotaro and Philip to transform into Kamen Rider Double. Philip's right-half Gaia Memories called Soul Memories (ソウルメモリ, Souru Memori) determine the elemental power of Double, while Shotaro's left-half Memories called Body Memories (ボディメモリ, Bodi Memori) determine the type of attack or weaponry that Double uses.[1][2][3][24]

  • Cyclone Memory (サイクロンメモリ, Saikuron Memori): The Cyclone Memory, also known as the Windy Memory (風の記憶, Kaze no Kioku), allows the user to move at fast speeds, controlling the very power of wind, becoming the Windy Warrior (風の戦士, Kaze no Senshi).[8][9] When used, half of Kamen Rider Double becomes the green Cyclonic Right Half (旋風の右半身, Senpū no Migi Hanshin).[1][2][3] Forms using the Cyclone Memory possess a silver scarf hanging from the neck.[8][9]
  • Joker Memory (ジョーカーメモリ, Jōkā Memori): The Joker Memory, also known as the Trump Card Memory (切り札の記憶, Kirifuda no Kioku), allows the user to increase fighting potential, becoming the Skill Warrior (技戦士, Waza Senshi). When used, half of Kamen Rider Double becomes the black Trumping Left Half (切り札の左半身, Kirifuda no Hidari Hanshin).[1][2][3] When the Joker Memory is placed in the Maximum Slot on the Double Driver, it allows Double to split into two halves to deliver an elemental-powered Maximum Drive attack.[8][9]
  • Heat Memory (ヒートメモリ, Hīto Memori): The Heat Memory, also known as the Hot Memory (熱き記憶, Atsuki Kioku), empowers the user with the element of fire, becoming the Blazing Warrior (炎の戦士, Honō no Senshi).[8][9] When used, half of Kamen Rider Double becomes the red Heated Right Half (熱き右半身, Atsuki Migi Hanshin).[1][2][3]
  • Metal Memory (メタルメモリ, Metaru Memori): The Metal Memory, also known as the Steel Memory (鋼鉄の記憶, Kōtetsu no Kioku) or the Fighter Memory (闘士の記憶, Tōshi no Kioku), empowers the user with great strength, becoming the Superpowered Warrior (怪力戦士, Kairiki Senshi).[8][9] When used, half of Kamen Rider Double becomes the silver Fighting Left Half (闘士の左半身, Tōshi no Hidari Hanshin). When the Metal Memory is placed in the Maximum Slot on the Metal Shaft, it allows Double to infuse the tips of the Metal Shaft with an elemental-powered Maximum Drive attack.[1][2][3]
  • Luna Memory (ルナメモリ, Runa Memori): The Luna Memory, also known as the Illusion Memory (幻想の記憶, Gensō no Kioku), allows the user to cast illusions, stretching limbs and bending gunshots, becoming the Mysterious Warrior (神秘の戦士, Shinpi no Senshi). When used, half of Kamen Rider Double becomes the gold Fantastical Right Half (幻想の右半身, Gensō no Migi Hanshin).[8][9]
  • Trigger Memory (トリガーメモリ, Torigā Memori): The Trigger Memory, also known as the Sniper Memory (銃撃手の記憶, Jūgekishu no Kioku), turns the user into an expert marksman, becoming the Gun Warrior (銃戦士, Jū Senshi). When used, half of Kamen Rider Double becomes the blue Sniping Left Half (狙撃手の左半身, Sogekishu no Hidari Hanshin). When the Trigger Memory is placed in the Maximum Slot on the Trigger Magnum, it allows Double to fire an elemental-powered Maximum Drive attack.[8][9]
  • Prism Memory (プリズムメモリ, Purizumu Memori): The Prism Memory is the Gaia Memory for the Prism Bicker sword and shield. It serves as a storage for other Gaia Memory powers and links the power of four Maximum Drives into one.[19][20][21]

Fang Memory

The Transforming Gaia Dinosaur Fang Memory (変形ガイア恐竜ファングメモリ, Henkei Gaia Kyōryū Fangu Memori), also known as the Fanged Memory (牙の記憶, Kiba no Kioku), is a special Gaia Memory that was solely created to protect Philip by any means necessary, enabling him and Shotaro to transform into Kamen Rider Double FangJoker. It can change between its Live Mode (ライブモード, Raibu Mōdo), which resembles a Dromaeosaurid, and its Memory Mode (メモリモード, Memori Mōdo), the top of which resembles a dinosaur's head. When used, half of Kamen Rider Double becomes the white Fanged Right Half (牙の右半身, Kiba no Migi Hanshin), enabling Double to fight like a berserker while altering the left half to match it in being animalistic in design. Being made to protect Philip, the Fang Memory shows up whenever he is in danger.[25]

Xtreme Memory

The Transforming Gaia Bird Xtreme Memory (変形ガイア鳥エクストリームメモリ, Henkei Gaia Chō Ekustorīmu Memori) is a special bird-like Gaia Memory that allows Kamen Rider Double to become CycloneJoker Xtreme by changing from Live Mode (ライブモード, Raibu Mōdo) to Memory Mode (メモリモード, Memori Mōdo) in order to slide onto the DoubleDriver. It first appears when Philip is in mortal danger from being attacked by the Weather Dopant, and it digitizes him where Shroud confronts him about his mission to save the Earth. The Xtreme Memory's powers come directly from the true Gaia Memory and are accessed through the Crystal Server on CycloneJoker Xtreme. To initiate its Maximum Drive, the Double Xtreme Rider Kick, the Xtreme Memory is closed and then re-opened.[19][20][21][26]

Metal Shaft

The Metal Shaft (メタルシャフト, Metaru Shafuto) is an extendable bō used when Double assumes any form that uses the Metal Memory.[1][2][3] When the Metal Memory is placed in the Maximum Slot on the Metal Shaft, Double is able to execute the Metal Branding (HeatMetal), Metal Twister (Cyclone Metal), and Metal Illusion (LunaMetal) Maximum Drives.[8][9] The Metal Shaft attaches to the back of the Metal half of a Double formation.[27]

Trigger Magnum

The Trigger Magnum (トリガーマグナム, Torigā Magunamu) is a firearm used when Double assumes any form that uses the Trigger Memory. When the Trigger Memory is placed in the Maximum Slot on the Trigger Magnum, it shifts from Normal Mode to Maximum Mode to enable the Trigger Full Burst (LunaTrigger) or the Trigger Explosion (HeatTrigger) Maximum Drives. The Trigger Magnum attaches to the chest of the Trigger half of a Double formation. When used in conjunction with the Stag Phone while in LunaTrigger, its finishing attack is the Trigger Stag Burst. When used in conjunction with the Bat Shot while in CycloneTrigger, its finishing attack is the Trigger Bat Shooting.[8][9][28]

Prism Bicker

The Super Multicolor Light-Emitting Sword Prism Bicker (超多色発光剣プリズムビッカー, Chōtashoku Hakkōken PurizumuBikkā) is a special weapon that Kamen Rider Double uses while in CycloneJoker Xtreme. It can separate into the Prism Sword (プリズムソード, Purizumu Sōdo) and Bicker Shield (ビッカーシールド, Bikkā Shīrudo). Through the Prism Memory's ability to link Philip's three elemental Gaia Memories with the Joker Memory, the Prism Bicker allows CycloneJoker Xtreme to perform three quadruple power Maximum Drives: the Prism Break (プリズムブレイク, Purizumu Bureiku) sword slash, the Bicker Charge Break (ビッカーチャージブレイク, Bikkā Chāji Bureiku) sword and shield charged slash, and the Bicker Finallusion (ビッカーファイナリュージョン, Bikkā Fainaryūjon) laser blast.[19][20][21][29]

Memory Gadgets

The Memory Gadgets (メモリガジェット, Memori Gajetto) are items powered by artificial Gaia Memories called Giji Memories (ギジメモリ, Giji Memori, "Pseudo Memories") that allow them to switch between their Gadget Mode (ガジェットモード, Gajetto Mōdo) and their Live Mode (ライブモード, Raibu Mōdo). The Gadgets can in turn be attached to Double's weapons to provide a boost. The Cyclone, Luna, and Heat Memories can also be inserted into a Memory Gadget, activating a Maximum Drive.

  • The Stag Phone (スタッグフォン, Sutaggu Fon) is a cellular phone that switches between Cell Phone Mode (携帯モード, Keitai Mōdo) and Stag Mode (スタッグモード, Sutaggu Mōdo) with the use of the Stag Memory (スタッグメモリ, Sutaggu Memori). When in Cell Phone Mode, it allows Double to summon and control the HardBoilder and the RevolGarry. The Stag Phone also has a Maximum Drive for the Heat Memory, engulfing it in flames.[30] When attached to the Trigger Magnum, it allows Double to perform the Trigger Stag Burst (トリガースタッグバースト, Torigā Sutaggu Bāsuto) Maximum Drive, crushing the Dopant between two pincer-like energy projections.
  • The Spider Shock (スパイダーショック, Supaidā Shokku) is a wrist watch that switches between Wrist Watch Mode (腕時計モード, Udedokei Mōdo) and Spider Mode (スパイダーモード, Supaidā Mōdo) with the use of the Spider Memory (スパイダーメモリ, Supaidā Memori). It has a grappling hook in Wrist Watch Mode. It can also shoot out trackers which can be tracked in Wrist Watch Mode. When attached to the Trigger Magnum, it allows Double to fire out a net that can capture Dopants. When attached to the Metal Shaft, it allows Double to shoot out a webbed string that restrains a Dopant.[31]
  • The Bat Shot (バットショット, Batto Shotto) is a digital camera that switches between Digicam Mode (デジカメモード, Dejikame Mōdo) and Bat Mode (バットモード, Batto Mōdo) with the use of the Bat Memory (バットメモリ, Batto Memori). A live video feed can be linked to the Stag Phone while in Bat Mode. Its flash can disorient others, and when attached to the Metal Shaft (a combination that Shotaro dubs the Sonic Shaft (ソニックシャフト, Sonikku Shafuto)), it can emit sonic waves strong enough to shatter solid objects. The Bat Shot also has a Maximum Drive for the Luna Memory, allowing its flashes to reveal and stun any hidden targets in its vicinity.[32] When attached to the Trigger Magnum, it allows Double to perform the Trigger Bat Shooting (トリガーバットシューティング, Torigā Batto Shūtingu) Maximum Drive, locking onto the target through the Bat Shot and then firing a concentrated blast from the Trigger Magnum.
  • The Frog Pod (フロッグポッド, Furoggu Poddo) is a speaker that switches between Speaker Mode (スピーカーモード, Supīkā Mōdo) and Frog Mode (フロッグモード, Furoggu Mōdo) with the use of the Frog Memory (フロッグメモリ, Furoggu Memori), which is similar to a MP3 Player that acts as a sound recorder. When the recording is played back, the Frog Pod can modulate the sound to be anyone's voice. Its primary uses are for audio recording and analysis. The Frog Memory and manual for building the Frog Pod are sent to Philip in a black envelope, by a person he believes to be Shroud, the woman who provides Kamen Rider Accel with his transformation items and arsenal.[33][34]
  • The Denden Sensor (デンデンセンサー, Denden Sensā) is a pair of night vision goggles that switches between Goggle Mode (ゴーグルモード, Gōguru Mōdo, also translated as "Night Scope Mode") and Denden Mode (デンデンモード, Denden Mōdo) with the use of the Denden Memory (デンデンメモリ, Denden Memori). Its primary ability is to detect changes in the light spectra and alert its user to cloaked targets - it can even detect the user of the Invisible Memory. Its Goggle Mode also serves this purpose, used to detect the presence of the invisible Lily Shirogane in its first appearance. It is also used as a surveillance device, being able to store 8 terabytes of information in its Giji Memory. The Denden Sensor is the second Memory Gadget Philip is seen constructing from a set of instructions sent to him by Shroud.[35]

HardBoilder

The HardBoilder (ハードボイルダー, HādoBoirudā), designated the "MB1000RV", is Double's personal Honda CBR1000RR motorcycle.[36] Like Double, the HardBoilder is black and green and is also able to change forms by swapping out the back half of the motorcycle after docking with the RevolGarry.[37]

HardTurbuler

The first combination is the black and red HardTurbuler (ハードタービュラー, HādoTābyurā), which is a flying hovercraft-like vehicle. The Hard Turbuler is often used by Double when he is in HeatMetal form.[38] The HardTurbular is armed with Scramble Cutter (スクランブルカッター, Sukuranburu Kattā) guns.

HardSplasher

The other combination is the black and gold HardSplasher (ハードスプラッシャー, HādoSupurasshā), a personal water craft-like vehicle. This is often used by Double when he is in LunaTrigger form.[39]

Start Dash Mode

The HardBoilder can also be put into Start Dash Mode (スタートダッシュモード, Sutāto Dasshu Mōdo) to increase its speed. The Start Dash Mode components can be detached after deployment to slow down any chasing adversaries.[40]

HardGunner

The HardGunner (ハードガンナー, HādoGannā) is the combination of the front unit of the HardBoilder and Kamen Rider Accel's robotic tank the Gunner A. This combination is faster than the HardBoilder and also arms it with the Gaia Cannon.

RevolGarry

The Rotation-Interchange Base RevolGarry (回転換装ベースリボルギャリー, Kaiten Kansō Bēsu Riborugyarī) is a truck/garage that holds the HardBoilder and holds a revolving wheel that has the components to change the HardBoilder to the HardTurbuler and HardSplasher.[41]

HardMammother

The HardMammother (ハードマンモシャー, HādoManmoshā) is Kamen Rider Double's mammoth-like giant mecha, piloting it when the front unit of the HardTurbuler docks into it. The HardMammother also has an Maximum Drive attack that is activated when the Heat Memory is inserted into the Maximum Slot. It only appears in Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Double & Decade: Movie War 2010 as the Mammoth Mecha (マンモスメカ, Manmosu Meka) under the control of the Dummy Dopant before Double takes control of it. It is destroyed along with the Super Crisis Fortress.
