FangJoker

"Fang! Joker! FangJoker!" - The transformation sound for FangJoker.

FangJoker (ファングジョーカー Fangu Jōkā) is one of the forms in the series Kamen Rider W. It is transformed to by the Fang Memory and the Joker Memory, used by Shoutarou Hidari and Philip, and the Double Driver. Unlike other Double forms, FangJoker uses Phillip's body for transformation.

He first appeared in The F Afterglow/Reclaim Your Partner, after Philip successfully uses it, but going berserk afterwards. After he got tired, they switched to their CycloneJoker form once more. The suit is portrayed by Seiji Takaiwa, with the voices of Masaki Suda and Renn Kiriyama.

Appearance

The FangJoker form looks somewhat like classic Kamen Rider Double, having the same body suit, and the line that parts them in half, but more spiky.

His right side is white, with black stripes. His main body suit is capable of making a spiky look, and the damage increases highly. His eyes are still red. On his waist wears the Double Driver, with the bulky Fang Memory stuck inside, along with the Joker Memory.

Whenever Shoutaro speaks, the left eye of FangJoker's body glows.

Powers and Abilities

This suit was designed for Philip's use, for the FangMemory and to take over the body, because the regular host is Shoutarou.

The gadget will be crumpled up into a Gaia Memory-fitted piece, and inserted into the Double Driver. It gains the powers to sprout spikes at the shoulder.

By pressing the tab on the Fang Memory a certain number of times, FangJoker is able a spike on either his shoulder, arm or legs for battle. By pressing it once, he summons the Shoulder Saber, twice for Arm Saber and three times for a Maximum Drive. The Memory will say Shoulder Fang, Arm Fang and Maximum Drive in that order when pressed.

He is capable of summoning the Arm Saber at his wrist, a Shoulder Saber which is summoned on his shoulder, which is also capable of being taken off and used as a boomerang or a dagger, and the Maximum Saber, which is on his right ankle. By pressing the Fang Memory three times, he is able to execute his Maximum Drive entitled the Fang Streiser, where he does a flying side kick with the Maximum Saber on his calf. The Fang logo appears as he kicks his opponents. 

Due to the power of the Fang Memory, and Phillip's weak physique, the Fang Memory can overwhelm Phillip and make him lose control. It's important for Shoutaro to support him while in battle. This is why FangJoker is underused compared to most forms, as Phillip's body is not a good vessel for fighting, despite the form being very powerful.
