Kamen Rider Double Forever - Gaia Memory of Fate - Discussion thread

[hide] WTH was that after the credits!? Was that Chiharu!!?
EDIT: Nvm, I rewatched the scene and the bandaged person is Shroud. WHOA! [/hide]

...and what is the lesson folks...

Kamen Rider W was originally titled...Kamen Rider the Next (Done Right):sweat:
 
I just watched the director's cut of Gaia Memories of Fate.
What's with the slightly creepy post credit ending with Shroud "masking up"? Was Maria Shroud after all? Leading a double life? That adds a bit more drama to the whole thing. Perhaps Shroud is some kind of "Immortal" herself?

The eye at the end clearly belongs to Maria...
 
Rosewave I'm thinking of the same thing. Could;

[hide] she be a NEVER too? Considering that she invented all these bio technology, it will be easy as pie to become one herself too. Add that Shroud was badly hurt by Terror's powers, the puzzle kinda fits. Perhaps Shroud was at the edge of death and made herself a NEVER. There's nothing that indicates that the Sonozaki only have 3 children, though there's also nothing that indicates that the Sonozaki had another kid. Not to mention Katsumi didn't appear at the end of episode 49 with everyone else, his name is also different, hmm. Anyone got any idea on this one?[/hide]

I'm curious, but did anyone cried watching the movie? The lyrics of the ending song did it for me, perhaps I'm a bit emotional, but I think the song perfectly fits Katsumi, andi t's relate-able, generally it's a song about losing your way somewhere on your journey of life. It'd been a while since I'd liked a japanese song so much. I like Katsumi, I will enjoy watching him in the Eternal movie, which I don't want to be spoilered on. At the very least we know that he's conscious of his sins when he tells W that "isn't it too late for me to count my sins now?!"

Interesting theory:

[hide]Ryubee did say Maria experts in cloning. If Maria is Shroud, did she clone Philip in secret (implying she is already seperated from Ryubee and that she knew Philip base jumped in the well (lol) and became a data human) and that clone is now Katsumi. She did mention that Philip just looks like her apparent son who died in an accident. This puzzle is really confusing.[/hide]

The theories above may be correct, Ryubee did say she sold her (replace Maria with Shroud in the situation) soul to the devil (coming back to life, not her son). At the verge of death, she became a NEVER herself.

With your theory, that would mean that Maria's

[hide] a woman that died and became a NEVER and cloned her child and when the clone died she made him into a NEVER too? Seems kinda out of a character for a character like Shroud to do anything other than revenge. [/hide]

Someone on TV-Nihon mentioned the scene after the ending credits could had been an

[hide] "Hi I'm Shroud and I still exist" scene rather than a cliffhanger that will lead to something. It's plausible. [/hide]
 
I think it's a definite possibility that Maria herself became a NEVER, but I also agree with Oblivion, the scene might as well just be a reminder of Shroud's existence, though if it is it seems awfully pointless. I guess we'll know soon when we find out if they make more Double movies or not.

[/hide]

There are other changes, but were very minor like changes in camera angle, added camera shake effects and some post production effects.

At least 20 mins were added to the film. Please correct me if I'm wrong and additions are very welcome. The director's cut is better than the theatrical version.

Maria = Shroud

Which means Philip and Daido are half-brothers, which explains why they resemble each other in the flashbacks.
