Nazca Arc
Episode 7-8: Find the C
C stands for Cockroach and Client.
Written by:
Naruhisa Arakawa,
Directed by:
Ryuta Tasaki
/Philip Can't Stand It
Phillip discovers a book in Gaia Library that he can't unlock, titled Heaven's Tornado. He's someone really disturbed by something locked, he's even more hellbent on learning it which leads him into a street dancer named Dango Inamoto, to the point of scribbling outside whiteboard, and doing it into the walls of the Narumi Detective Agency. Meanwhile Shotaro and Akiko got a request, but it's done in rough way by the apparent client tying it to a rock and throwing it through a window, with said request refering to Kazehana High School. It's an implementation of Chandler's Law to add new complication amidst a burst of violence, in this case breaking a window. This act justificably enrages Shotaro that he refuses to comply even with the payment and wants to chew them out, while ironically Akiko questions him to take the case that the thrower pay them up front. Shotaro visits the school for the someone said as suspicious, but instead got cornered by cops. Shotaro escapes and finds the principal being attacked by Cockroach Dopant. Shotaro henshins with Phillip to W.
Phillip and Akiko do find Dango. This episode has different writer, but I guess the reason Phillip's refered as little devil at the beginning, is due to this, he's extremely task focused, that he has tactless approach by forcefully turning on Dango's radio to test movements for Heaven's Tornado, while Akiko, childish attitude aside, still has proper etiquette to introduce herself to Dango (in pushy and loud way). Phillip's dance is praised by Akiko, but he still hasn't learned Heaven's Tornado yet, so he starts talking to Dango to show the move, but Dango claims he can't do it anymore, not by himself, and leaves. Akiko tries to convince him that she reveals it's her responsibility as the Narumi chief, but Dango, like others such as Shotaro, also find it ridiculous that Akiko's the chief, particularly that she trips off a can right before. So it's shown that Dango has a bit of shallow trait to judge someone by outer first impression with Akiko seemingly like a child. They run after him and end up in a bus, as Phillip insists Akiko to not lose sight of Dango.. yeah just like ep. 3 against Yuuko as Phillip henshins with Shotaro to W. I forgot to mention that sometimes when they henshin into W, the camera can show them both in split-screen, which is a neat way and can save time for showing both of their henshin separately.
The Cockroach Dopant views himself as a hero and claims Fuuto doesn't need 2 heroes at once, refered as Roachstar in Wakana radio show earlier. Well actually, hero doesn't attack principals like that and wouldn't be so self-absorbed that another hero means threat. The Dopant specializes in speed, that CycloneJoker and CycloneTrigger can't catch him. Using LunaTrigger, they managed to get some hit due to the homing properties. As they attempt to use Trigger Full Burst, Akiko calls Phillip that Dango's getting off the bus, distracting their fight as Shotaro insists him to focus, losing track of the Dopant. Akiko also takes off the bus, again while carrying Phillip on her back, also slowing them down, and Akiko releases him for that especially as W de-henshins. The Sonozaki family's cat, Mick, is also used by them in battle as Smilodon Dopant, to respond to the current Dopant, using it as a competition for Kirihiko. Shotaro meets up with another informant of his for school, schoolgirls Queen and Elizabeth, portrayed by AKB48 members. Queen is teasing, towards Elizabeth. They report that there's a website called Underworld Pest Control, which is related to the Cockroach Dopant's attacks, and someone at the site pissed off at Hoshino at the school. But like before regarding "Narumi" family name, this shows a consequence of refering to someone with family name only, that the Dopant mistakenly attack the principal of the school, as the schoolgirl informants point out that there's another Hoshino in the school, refered as cute.
Dango rushes into the school. which is covered by cops for attack on Takeshi Hoshino. Dango has an inappropriate behavior here as well to talk down Makura who tries to stop him, with Makura only laments that he's looked down by kids too, and Jinno instead claims it's the truth. As Jinno got confused by both of the Hoshino family name on the school, he unintentionally pisses off Akiko who slaps him with her slipper. Dango tries to call out for another Hoshino that the schoolgirl informants refer, a girl named Chizuru, who was his former dance partner, by dancing, but he gets kicked out by a teacher, who is mad due to him being a dropout, and keeps him away from Chizuru who he claims as focused on swimming. Phillip figures it out that, Heaven's Tornado is a couple move, and the key is to bring Chizuru together with Dango. On their way Smilodon confronts them, this puts them at odds with Shotaro, who is on the swimming pool and comes across Dango, and also notices Chizuru being attacked by Cockroach Dopant. It reveals more that Cockroach Dopant sees himself as hero because he wants to exterminate the town's pests, and Dango was the one that posts about Hoshino on his website. Well that's actually more of a work of contract killers, moreover without a filter about who to kill or not. Dango and Shotaro fends off Cockroach, and tries to explain to Chizuru, but of course this'd cause a further rift between them. This time, it's Phillip making things difficult for the team due to his search for Heaven's Tornado, that Shotaro already warned him to not wander around. Still, this is another difficulty of 2-in-1 Rider, but this establishes that both of them are individuals that are allowed to act on their own. Shotaro had to wait until Phillip and Akiko escape from Smilodon, by jumping into a nearby garbage carrying Dyna, um not Ultraman but a Toyota pickup before henshin into W to fight Cokcroach. In the fight, W catches a sight of Chizuru being devastated that Dango resorts to try killing her as Dango tries to explain, with Phillip on the verge of failing his mission too for Heaven's Tornado, giving an opportunity for Cokcroach to steal their Luna and Trigger Gaia Memories.
/Dancing Hero
W gets overwhelmed by Cockroach's speed, but they know that Cockroach will attack at him occassionally, and they made a good move to henshin into HeatMetal as Cockroach charges toward him, being hit by the burning Metal Shaft. However this doesn't last long as they only change form once in a while, and Cockroach steals Heat and Metal Gaia Memories too. More info is revealed that Dango's the one that throw the note through the window, and also the one that vents about Chizuru on Underworld Pest Control, as he thinks the site isn't real, due to being depressed for Chizuru leaving him as dance partner for swimming club without explanation. Dango really has terrible attitude problem man, lampshaded by Akiko too for him doing whatever he wants, albeit Chizuru isn't blameless either for not explaining. At least Dango has guilt over this that he realizes that the site actually does kill people, and tries to make it up by making the request to Narumi Detective Agency regarding the site, so he's not all heartless, albeit employing Chandler's Law due to being in doubt. However Phillip still has skewed priorities, only being concerned about Heaven's Tornado and making sure that Dango would perform it later, and tries to reconcile the pair with the Gaia Library.
Forced to look for the Dopant alone, Shotaro visits Santa-chan, who is promoting a manga sale about Roachstar, apparently being self-published by Cockroach himself and basing it on his murders with exact same location. He does have some precaution to have no detail in the publishing info, and he probably relies on the fact that people would think it's actually dark fantasy, or being overconfident that he's invincible as Dopant (there are much others), but the move of publishing manga is still not a smart one for him, it'd just exposing himself to the likes of Shotaro, like revealing where he lives. The Cockroach user, Ikari, calls Kirihiko that he can't use the stolen W's Gaia Memories, and Kirihiko instructs him to beat W to take their Driver. Ikari is a horrific take of a doujinshi artist, making use of blog and manga for his rotten activities like murder that he views himself as hero for that. Ikari continues his drawing, with uncannily accurate depiction of what happens to Chizuru, tired running, each panel capturing the exact same location the camera does to her, but instead of Cockroach capturing her, it's Phillip contacting her, with Akiko bringing Dango along to the secret base to lock them up in RevolGarry. It's apparently the solution Phillip finds to reconcile others, locking them in dark, cramped space, which Akiko claims as a cliche in school stories. It leads into heavy argument as expected, and yes Dango making it up by hiring those detectives doesn't fully absolve him from his mistakes. Though Phillip's method eventually succeeds as they're left with nothing to do, except make amends, by Chizuru revealing that she took swimming to get better, implementing synchronized swimming as she feels she holds him back. This'd be baffling to not talk it out regarding just that, including to Dango to ask the reason she hides it, where she doesn't want for him to go easy on her. That'd be a misguided take of being independent or pushing the limits, like Miyabi's dream chasing before. This is between 2-parter minors instead of major series conflict, but the problem is done via usual miscommunication that it escalates worse, this one's more overdone in the franchise compared to previous 2 parter. Nevertheless they finally make up, to Akiko's delight. Whatever works within the cold pragmatic view you had Phillip, and yes he still doesn't care about their state, only wanting to learn about Heaven's Tornado.
Shotaro "visits" Ikari's house, where he escapes while Shotaro sends Stag to keep track of him, which leads him to the place where Dango and Chizuru finally shows their Heaven's Tornado to Akiko and the overexcited Phillip, that Cockroach appears from sewers, sending a manhole cover to Chizuru's leg, injuring her. Dango directly takes on the Cockroach head on, but Cockroach doesn't allow anyone to take back requests. Phillip's concern over Chizuru there is only regarding if she can finish Heaven's Tornado, which earns him a slap from Akiko's slipper (who later carries Chizuru away), but gets a keyword for dance which is wave. Shotaro arrives and they henshin into W, implementing some dance-like moves in the fight that confuses Cockroach, which gets praised by Dango that he wants to join in, to Shotaro's confusion that they're in the middle of fight. Both of them confuse and overwhelm Cockroach with dance battle moves and a literal tornado move from W ending the sequence, getting their Gaia Memories back. This is an afaik rare moment of the bystander minor taking part in the fight, and the Cyclone form gets to implement literal Tornado move, the idea to confuse the opponent is a nice idea but the execution still wasn't fully convincing IMO that Cockroach was more acting like sitting duck in some open windows like W and Dango handshaking. W puts down Cockroach for good with LunaTrigger's Trigger Full Burst and Ikari gets arrested. Shotaro reports that Chizuru's leg wasn't hurt that badly... questionable logic here, and keeps his optimistic view of his clients that they may move into world competitions, while deeming Phillip as the real problem that he's hellbent when he wants to learn. Akiko thinks he's changed regarding his expression watching Heaven's Tornado, but actually no, Phillip remains the same, like usual he loses interest in topics he already learned by throwing away an invitation note from Chizuru and Dango Akiko presented, moving on into another subject to learn which is mt. Fuji.
