** Voted #4 movie in the entire franchise, and #19 product overall in NHK's All Kamen Rider Popularity Ranking.

Voted #2 series in the Heisei era and #2 product overall in Creator/{{NHK}}'s All Kamen Rider Popularity Ranking.

* EatTheDog: At the end of "The D was Watching", Isaka thinks about how hungry he is and begins staring at the cat. Poor Mick...

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: Jun killing Saeko]].

As the story unfolds, Shotaro and Philip slowly uncover the secrets behind the latter's [[LaserGuidedAmnesia forgotten past]], contend with a HotBlooded [[TheRival police officer]] on a quest of [[YouKilledMyFather personal vengeance]], and track down the source of the Gaia Memories that are being manufactured and sold in the shadows of Fuuto: the enigmatic "Museum" organization, controlled by the [[TheMafia Sonozaki Family]].

* ''Kamen Rider W Hyper Battle DVD: Donburi's α/Farewell Beloved Recipe'', a ''Televi-Kun'' magazine exclusive DVD.
* ''Kamen Rider W DVD: Gaia Memory Encyclopedia'', another ''Televi-Kun'' exclusive DVD that reviews Double's equipment and powers.

** The end of [[Recap/KamenRiderDoubleE3E4DontLayAFingerOnM ep. 4]] shows that Phillip's presence was imperative in winning the all-or-nothing "Old Maid" game, with a deck given by Santa-chan, against the Money Dopant; ep. 12 ends with Phillip pwning Akiko at that same game ''with the same deck even''.

** The main rider's name is also a bit tricky as it's offically spelled "Kamen Rider W [Double]" in Japanese but both "W" and "Double" have been used and western fans generally tend to go with "W" (with a notable exption being [[https://kamenrider.fandom.com/wiki/Kamen_Rider_Double the FANDOM]] [[TheWikiRule wiki]]) while the offical international romanization for both the rider and show is "MASKED RIDER DOUBLE".

* PowerWalk: Episode 32.

* MixAndMatch: Take a {{Superhero}} series, stir in some FilmNoir, and sprinkle a bit of PostCyberpunk on top, and you get ''Kamen Rider Double''.

* RobotBuddy: Almost like the Disc Animals of ''Series/KamenRiderHibiki'', our heroes have the "Memory Gadgets"; equipments that can turn into animal forms (Live Mode) with their own Memories.

* AloneInACrowd: Happens when Philip encounters [[spoiler:Wakana right after she becomes a fully fledged DarkChick]].

** Ep. 29 is titled "Nemuri Hime [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya no Yuutsu]]".

** Aya Kujo of "The T That Came Back" uses this a lot. {{Justified|Trope}} in that she's spent the last few months in Los Angeles, and actually manages to speak it [[SurprisinglyGoodEnglish fairly well]].

** The Luna Memory; according to the official info, its power is "Illusions", but for the most part it manifests as [[RubberMan Elasticity]], with [[color:gold:Luna]][[color:purple:Joker]] gaining stretchy limbs, [[color:gold:Luna]][[color:gray:Metal]] turning the Metal Shaft into a [[WhipItGood whip]], and [[color:gold:Luna]][[color:blue:Trigger]] firing homing energy bullets. The "illusion" part manifests mostly for the [[FinishingMove Memory Breaks]], which involve barraging the foe with karate chops, energy discs, and BeamSpam respectively. Additionally, it can reveal hidden enemies when used with the Bat Shot and create a web of light with the Spider Shock.

** Kyoko's outfit resembles that of Franchise/IndianaJones. Given Shotaro's hardboiled motif, their interaction is likely a tongue-in-cheek crossover between two popular subgenres of TwoFistedTales.
*** Possible ActorAllusion in her use of a whip--she played Mele on Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger, in which she would use her tongue as a whip in some cases.

* PersonalityPowers: The NEVER mercenaries from ''W Forever'' end up with the Memory that best reflects their personality and fighting style: the sexy martial artist who hates cold gets [[color:red:Heat]], the [[TheBrute burly]] [[CarryABigStick staff fighter]] gets [[color:silver:Metal]], the CampGay [[WhipItGood whip fighter]] gets [[color:gold:Luna]], the ColdSniper gets [[color:blue:Trigger]], [[spoiler:and [[TheMole the woman who deceived Phillip into helping them]]]] gets [[color:green:Cyclone]].

* WhipItGood: [[color:gold:Luna]][[color:gray:Metal]] form wields the Metal Rod like a whip.

* WindTurbinePower: the entire city of Fuuto, making it potentially the most eco-frindly city in fictional Japan

* AsianAirhead: A type 2 example of this is Himeka Yukimura from the "The Nightmarish H" arc.

* TenMinutesInTheCloset: Dango and Chizuru [[InvokedTrope get locked]] [[MundaneUtility in the RevolGarry]] together in episode 8. This seemed to be the non-romantic type; making up results in them spending the next few minutes of the episode street dancing rather than any hugging or kissing.

* FiveManBand: The Sonozaki Family is an evil version:
** BigBad: The patriarch Ryubee.
** EvilGenius: Elder daughter Saeko (who's a bit of TheDragon, but not as much as...)
** TheDragon: Son-in-law Kirihiko. [[spoiler:Well, [[KilledOffForReal not anymore]]]].
** DarkChick: Younger daughter Wakana. [[spoiler:who's been promoted to TheDragon as soon as she unlocked her SuperMode.]]
** TeamPet[=/=]TheBrute: Mick, of course.
** SixthRanger: Dr Isaka, The owner of the W[[spoiler:eather]] memory. [[spoiler:[[RunningGag NOT ANYMORE]]]].
** EleventhHourRanger: Jun Kazu, member of Foundation X.
** And from the movie:
*** BigBad: Katsumi Daido/Kamen Rider [[color:palegoldenrod:Eternal]]
*** TheDragon: Kyosui Izumi/[[color:gold:Luna]] Dopant
*** TheBrute: Gozo Domoto/[[color:gray:Metal]] Dopant & Ken Ashihara/[[color:blue:Trigger]] Dopant.
*** DarkChick: Reika Hanehara/[[color:red:Heat]] Dopant
*** [[spoiler:EvilGenius / SixthRangerTraitor: Maria S. Cranberry/Cyclone Dopant]]

* GreenLanternRing:
** The Luna Memory; according to the official info, its power is "Illusions", but for the most part it manifests as [[RubberMan Elasticity]], with [[color:gold:Luna]][[color:purple:Joker]] gaining stretchy limbs, [[color:gold:Luna]][[color:gray:Metal]] turning the Metal Shaft into a [[WhipItGood whip]], and [[color:gold:Luna]][[color:blue:Trigger]] firing homing energy bullets. The "illusion" part manifests mostly for the [[FinishingMove Memory Breaks]], which involve barraging the foe with karate chops, energy discs, and BeamSpam respectively. Additionally, it can reveal hidden enemies when used with the Bat Shot and create a web of light with the Spider Shock.
** The Weather Memory has enough powers to be one of these. See SuperpowerLottery below.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs:
** The T-Rex and Triceratops Dopants.
** The Fang Memory makes this actually kind of cute, in a heroic example.

* PlayingGertrude: Eldery Shotaro and Akiko in one of the Hardboiled Delusion skits where Shotaro imagines the detective agency in the future.

** Trigger: CoolGuns/{{Handguns}}
