- Marth Debuted in "Smash Bros.": Basically, all the foreign-language dubs are this, since the original show was never broadcasted outside Asia.
- Newbie Boom: The anime adaptation got many viewers interested in Kamen Rider W and the entire Kamen Rider franchise.
- No Dub for You: Defied like hell in the Latin American Spanish dub: Originally, there weren't any plans to dub this show to Spanish, partly because both the Kamen Rider franchise is basically obscure in Latin America, despite attempts to bring many parts of it to the regionnote and because the show requires had already watched Kamen Rider Double to understand some plot points. For some unexplained reason, however, it was later announced that the animated adaptation will have a Latin American Spanish dub. This is in stark contrast with Brazil, as a local dub was announced since day one, as both Kamen Rider and Tokusatsu are more popular there than in Spanish-speaking countries. On the other hand, the Gaia Memories are still voiced in Japanese in most foreign dubs.
