Hissatsu Attack! - Kamen Rider W's Twin Maximum Drive

My review called "Hissatsu Attack!" will tackle some of the Kamen Rider's Finishing Moves or Attacks. It will involve some little analysis as well as description and pictures of the said "Hissatsu Attack!". Variations of the "Hissatsu Attack!" might be added as well. Now for my first "Hissatsu Attack!" review. I will talk about Kamen Rider W's Twin Maximum Drive.

First of all, what's a Maximum Drive? A Maximum Drive is a common name for the hissatsu attack utilized
by the Kamen Riders within the Kamen Rider W Series. They have different utilizations based upon which Kamen Rider uses it, as well as, what form are they using. A Maximum Drive is used in order to defeat the Dopants (Kaijins of the Kamen Rider W Series). It is harmless upon the Dopants and the users of the Gaia Memories since the attack specifically targets to eject the Gaia Memory from the user's or the Dopant's body. The destruction of the Gaia Memory would result to what they call a "Memory Break".

Now on to the topic at hand, The "Twin Maximum Drive". It was only used on the episode 27-28 in which Kamen Rider Accel and Kamen Rider W are fighting the Weather Dopant for the first time. With the Weather Dopant gaining the upper-hand that time easily defeating Kamen Rider Accel and W. Hidari Shotaro (W's Left Side) acted upon himself and attempts to use a "Twin Maximum Drive", which specifically uses two synchronized Maximum Drives at the same time. The currently used half-change combination that they are using is HeatTrigger. Kamen Rider W inserts the Trigger Memory to the Trigger Magnum and performs a Maximum Drive, and W also inserts the Heat Memory on the Maximum Drive Slot on the side of the belt to perform another Maximum Drive. It showed a burning Kamen Rider W, then shoots a giant fireball hurling down to the Weather Dopant.It can be noted that, Philip (W's Right Side) attempted to stop
Hidari from attempting the "Twin Maximum Drive" for it would be dangerous. I think that they have attempted this feat before since they had been Kamen Rider W for almost a year already or it's Philip using his super-genius intuition to stop Hidari.

Yeah Shoutarou! Listen to Phillip! He knows you can't do it!  Way to let you down -_-

Maximum Drive! Maximum Drive! Maximum Drive!

It can also be noted that, theoretically, these are all the half-changes of W that can perform a Twin Maximum Drive: HeatMetal, CycloneMetal, LunaMetal, HeatTrigger, LunaTrigger, CycloneTrigger, and FangJoker. Take note that I assumed this for the fact that these half-changes utilizes Maximum Drives on Trigger and Metal's respective weapons with a free spot for the Maximum Drive Slot for Heat, Cyclone, and Luna. FangJoker, on the other hand, utilizes it's Maximum Drive through the Fang Memory leaving, again, a free
slot for the Joker Memory. Even CycloneJokerExtreme, technically, would have a Twin Maximum Drive as well.

Continuing from what I said before, the giant fireball hurls down to the Weather Dopant. It hits the Weather Dopant spot on. It was able to push the Weather Dopant for a reasonable distance. Surprisingly, The Weather Dopant wasn't even damaged nor scratched by the said attack. Rendering Hidari's effort useless also hurting his body in the process.

Kamen Rider W shoots a huge fireball!

The fireball hurls towards Weather Dopant!

No damage! Not even a scratch! Twin Maximum Drive is not effective to Weather Dopant!

Even that powerful attack didn't leave a mark on Weather Dopant!  We know Akiko -_- We just saw that.

Verdict: 6/10

It has been said that this is one of W's Strongest Attack (If Xtreme were not to be involve in this), however, it has a very major drawback since it would hurt the user afterwards making it a double-edged finisher. And what made my score down is the fact that it was hyped up as W's Strongest Attack but it didn't even damaged the Weather Dopant. (It can be considered that they used this tactic in order to show that even W's Strongest Attack can't pierce through this Dopant making it a fearsome "general-type" kaijin for
the heroes to face. And also the fact that it's just his first battle with them.) Instead of a perfect 10, it went down to a 6 brought up by the coolness and the risk factor of the "Hissatsu Attack"




Variations of the Hissatsu Attack!:

Rider Twin Maximum Drive - which was also used in episode 28, this variation of the Twin Maximum Drive involves two riders, specifically Kamen Rider Accel and Kamen Rider W, instead of the generic one rider. It involves synchronizing each riders Maximum Drive in order to attempt this feat.
