Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
Another Double is voiced by Kentaro Ito (伊藤 健太郎, Itō Kentarō), who perviously voiced Excavation Ninja Mogudrago in Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger, Manhole Banki in Engine Sentai Go-Onger and Toome in Uchu Sentai Kyuranger. Another Double is portrayed by an unknown suit actor.
Concept Art[]
Another Double was designed by Tamotsu Shinohara (篠原 保, Shinohara Tamotsu).
Identity[]
He is one of the two Another Riders (the other being Another Agito) who has yet to reveal his human identity, due to time constraints.[2] Although not indicated in the film, Shin-ichiro Shirakura eventually revealed in 2023 the original plan for Another Double's identity which was cut from the film: A survivor of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami who was once a fan of the Kamen Rider Series, but turned into a hater of the franchise after being disillusioned over the Riders' "absence" during the catastrophe.[3]
- In a rather horrifying coincidence, Koji Kikkawa, a cast member of Kamen Rider W revealed in 2022 that he encountered a few children who no longer expressing their love for Kamen Riders as a result of the aforementioned incident.[4]
Notes[]
- Like most Another Riders, Another Double is the opposite of both Shotaro Hidari and Philip; the latter two transforms into the titular two-in-one Rider to protect the City of Futo against those who want to bring sadness to the city. Another Double is created by Tid, with the intent of leading an army of villains to attack innocents, effectively making an entire town’s people crying in peril.
- Another Double is the only Another Rider along with Another Kuuga to change forms without using another Ridewatches i.e. W's LunaJoker form.
- He is the only Another Rider who contacted a second Another Rider (Another Den-O). However, it is unclear whether Another Double created the Anotherwatch himself or was given by Tid before he contacted Ataru.
- Another Double's belt, designed after the Doubledriver, features an Egyptian aesthetic - specifically, it bears two bird hieroglyphs, which represent the sound "w". The two bird-like designs on Another Double's belt might be a reference to Kamen Rider Double's Xtreme Memory.
- The color scheme of Another Double's right side looks similar to the Nazca Dopant's color scheme. This resemblance may be based on the origin of Double's right half, whose family were dealers of the Gaia Memory syndicate in Futo.
- Additionally, in place of the Cyclone half's Windy Stabilizer muffler, he has bandages on his right shoulder and right arm, a reference to Philip's mother Shroud, who covers her burned face with it.
- Another Double features the face portions of Double's Cyclone and Joker halves on either side of his head. Another Double's face appears between the two halves similar to the white portion of Double CycloneJokerXtreme.
