Television's summary of episode 46:
Ryubee is planning to sacrifice Phillip to Wakana in order for her to become the "Shrine Maiden of the Earth". Shotaro is afraid of Terror's powers. Ryubee is planning to fuse Wakana with the Gaia Impact, which contains all the memories of the earth. The meaning of "Shrine Maiden of the Earth" is actually a living Gaia Memory. This is why a control program, which is Phillip, is needed. He's the only one who can use the Evil Tail.

Bro's summary of 46:
Shotaro is almost possessed by Terror's fear. Phillip has been kidnapped by Ryubee and he assembles the whole Sonozaki family at the dining table.
After that Phillip is able to call Shotaro and tell him that he's becoming a sacrifice. When Kyoko hears this, she decides to steal the Evil Tail from the Sonozaki family.

Episode 47 is called "残されたＵ／フィリップからの依頼" The U Left Behind / A Request from Phillip

Station's summary of the episode:
After the collapse of the Sonozaki family, Phillip asks Shotaro to find Wakana.
Kazu is taking care of Wakana and for the sake of Saeko, he has taken over Ryubee's plans.

TV Life's summary of 47:
Phillip can still sense the existence of Wakana, he begs Shotaro to find her. Kazu becomes the Utopia Dopant and attacks Ryu. Phillip is, for some reason, refusing to transform into Double.

Episode 48 still has no name, but Station has a summary for it.
For some reasons Shotaro's hesitating to become W. Ryu is heavily wounded and the plan to rescue Wakana has failed. On top of that, Kazu is trying to hurt Phillip mentally by attacking people close to him.

THIS. MY GAWD.

The Climax is near. And what a Climax it shall be.

Can't wait to see that stuff! :thumbs:

So Phillip refuses to transform into W, does that mean Shotarou can transform into W Joker?

 

[Ryuutaros]

I was wondering...

Would Kamen Rider Joker be one of the strongest Riders in Double since its like a pure "Trump card" Rider thanks to the Joker Memory?


Or its only half as strong as Double since it lacks element powers?

 

[Wing Saber]

Joker is more of a spare Rider form for Shotaro, in case Philip was completly unavalible. Though it might not be as strong as W.

 

[DecaEnd]

Well, Joker's stats are the worst out of all the Rider and Rider forms. I think it's the same as Trial but slower.

The episode 47 preview makes it look like Philip is refusing to transform because his body will disappear, or he thinks it will disappear

 

[KAGEKI]

THIS. MY GAWD.

The Climax is near. And what a Climax it shall be.

Indeed, but it'll be a very sad one as well.

Official stats aren't worth much anyway in Rider.

Extreme has significantly worse stats than Fang, but you'd never notice it watching the series, especially considering how each one performed against Weather. But, yes, Joker is clearly worse than Double considering how Shotaro only uses it when Philip isn't available.

Anyway, I'm still rooting for a Joker Dopant in the finale...

Joker Dopant?

So I'd assume it's like that pic where Shotaro uses direct insertion in desperation?

And I got Blade vibes out of that.
