Kamen Rider Double Rumor/Picture Thread

My speculation is that Fang will be a representation of earth, since the other Phillip Memories correspond to the four classical elements.

I wouldn't put it past a Japanese show to declare its element is "fossil" or "ancient" or something else that's out of left field, though.
 

I have a feeling it will be of the lightning element. A lot of animes and games made in Japan use the set of fire, water/ice, wind, and lightning, which correspond with the five elements of Chinese tradition (lightning being metal, and wind for wood). Earth usually isn't added.

I suppose it depends on whether W is doing Western or Chinese elements, then. It's quite true that based on the Phillip Memories we've seen so far, it could be either.

(Though if he got one for Lighting/Metal, then it would stand to reason he would eventually get something for Wood to complete the cycle... which is hard to imagine, but could be interesting.)

Examples? I've never really observed this myself in element systems following the classic Chinese cycle.

In Bagua, the wind trigram is associated with the wood element.

For a specific toku example, there is Rainbowman. From Japan Hero:

Plus, this group of four elements was used to Blade too (fire, wind, lightning, and ice for the category 6 cards).
 
I see. Interesting, thanks. I'd never seen elemental associations for Bagua outlined anywhere.

Knowing this makes a lot of JRPG elemental damage systems considerably more logical.
 
I think I'm still going with the earth element with fang, since its a dinosaur fossil thing. I also remember lightning being only a subclass of fire in most cultures/religion like Agni, Wicca, etc. Avatar: The Last Airbender even utilizes the lightning as a stronger attack by Azula of the Fire Nation.
