This was the first episode of Double I saw, so I’m going to have something of a bias towards it. Mostly, I like how we have an English-speaking character who actually speaks English, rather than slurring them badly.

And speaking of guest stars, it’s Koichi Sakamoto’s directorial debut for Kamen Rider (having previously done Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie for the Ultra Series), so we have two beeps of the…

Sentai-lert!

First up is our main guest Aya Kujo, portrayed by Ayumi Kinoshita, who previously portrayed a police detective with an amount of English dialogue in Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger and a girl looking for revenge who has a disguised identity in Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds. It’s not the last time we’ll be seeing her in these Phase 2 rewatches either.

And the old guy who’s a decoy antagonist is played by Hiroo Ohtaka, who’s had a few minor roles in Rider productions (basically, he was the old dad in the Faiz movie and Prof. Odagiri in the Type Tokujou special from Drive). But in Sentai, he’s had some more substantial roles, namely the big bad High Bishop Gaja in GoGo Sentai Boukenger and a recurring oden cart owner in Avataro Sentai Donbrothers.
