Kamen Rider W has some of the most iconic enemies in the series. Most of them have a lot of personality going on, and that is mostly because of the eclectic designs. Today, we are going to rank the appearances of each dopant.
We aren’t going to include the Kamen Riders themselves, because that wouldn’t be fair. So let’s focus on the villains, today. Here are the 33 dopants, ranked from worst to best designs.
33. Anomalocaris
Ew. What is this thing? This is absolutely the worst that Kamen Rider W has to offer. Not a good start, but I promise that the dopants get better from here. I mean, of course, they do, how do you get any uglier than this?
32. Cockroach
Yep, that’s a cockroach. You know this is actually an okay design, but I’d be a bad person if I placed this nasty creature any higher.
31. ClayDoll
I don’t know, she just looks kind of silly. Is it the boots? That arm? That ridiculous head? Are those ears?
30. Bird
I just hate this design so much. It’s uninspired and while it does scream “BIRD,” it’s just ugly.
29. Quetzalcoatlus
We’ve seen this creature before. It’s not anything special. Every lost island in fiction has this thing.
28. Sweets
This is an absolute monstrosity. Sweets should be cute. This isn’t sweet. This isn’t even a flavor. Disgusting.
27. Puppeteer
I like the suit thing, but that head is just atrocious. The doll has a better aesthetic in this arc than the master.
26. Zone
This isn’t a dopant. I don’t care what anyone says. At least it looks neat?
25. Old
I actually like this design, but it doesn’t say “Old” to me. It doesn’t even say age. Still, I love the sword head.
24. Arms
Arms looks like he should be fighting Captain America. My only issue is that he looks less like a dopant and more like a guy with guns.
23. Yesterday
Yesterday just doesn’t really have anything going on. I’m into the cool head, but the rest of the design just falls flat.
22. T-Rex
It’s a human with a dinosaur said. This design is both awful and absolutely fantastic. Why didn’t I rank this higher?
21. Hopper
Hopper is another “Ew” dopant, but I really like the color scheme. The pointy spikes add to the creepiness, making this the type of dopant to make your skin crawl.
20. Gene
Sometimes simple is better. Gene is plain, but the design just works. Also, that syringe is cool.
19. Triceratops
It’s another dinosaur! Honestly shame on me for having the dinosaurs so low on the list. At least Barney is the highest of the dinosaurs.
18. Nasca
Nasca has a clean look, but the color is just a bit too obnoxious for me. That’s a neat helmet, and it gets bonus points for having a cape.
17. Magma
Magma isn’t remarkable for any reason, but it’s our first dopant and deserves to be in a decent spot on the list. I do like the look a lot, it just feels like we have seen it before.
16. Money
This thing looks like it could replace Harvest from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. I like this silly round design. It’s perfect.
15. Liar
Astaroth from Soul Calibur got a new spooky hammer. The tongue is the reason I like this design so much, it’s just so funny, especially when you consider how scary this looks.
14. Smilodon
It’s a cat. This cat would be much lower on the list if it weren’t for that wild gauntlet. Seriously, that thing looks so cool.
13. Beast
This samurai beast is a beast, what can I say? Come on, it has two faces! It has a samurai helmet. This is it!
12. Virus
Do you wanna get sick? Just look at this thing. This is a virus. This will kill you. Stay away. This one’s design is gross, but man is it appropriate.
11. IceAge
I’m not quite sure why I like this design so much. It looks like a snow monster, and the only remarkable thing about it is the feature things on top of the head. But it just works. What’s up with those fingertips though?
10. Energy
Oh look, the predator is here. He has a cool mask too? I’m in.
9. Nightmare
Yes. This is what I see when I have sleep paralysis. This a nightmare. Congratulations, you did it.
8. Masquerade
Masquerade’s design is cool and neat. I just like everything about it, and it is perfect for a henchman. The spooky ripples on the mask complete the bad guy look. The pants are a bit baggy, but I guess they need some mobility.
7. Taboo
Taboo looks spooky, and I like it. I don’t exactly know what it is supposed to be, but it is cool.
6. Jewel
Jewel is as hard as it looks. The design is as simple as expected but works well. The boots blending in with the pants docks a couple of points, but this is a solid design.
5. Terror
This is just a clean look that is fitting of the patriarch in a crime family. The old Central American suits the age of the user, and the curtains draping from head to toes adds a regal look.
4. Violence
Violence gets to be this high up on this list because of how well that design conveys the name. Look at that thing! If you look up violence in the dictionary, this is undoubtedly what you will see. I didn’t expect to see a Resident Evil boss in Kamen Rider, but here we are.
3. Invisible
I’m joking. Relax. Invisible did have a cool arc, but we aren’t ranking arcs, are we? Let’s just say Violence is the real number 3 on this list and move.
2. Utopia
Utopia’s appearance is fitting for the final boss, looking like the last enemy from an NES JRPG. The short cape, giant weird boots, and gold plating just does it for me.
1. Weather
Yes, this is another “Knight,” but the Weather dopant just looks cool. The white and gold create a sense of royalty, and overall makes Weather look like the essential antagonist that he is. He is the coolest looking dopant in Double, which is good thing since he appears so dang much.
So what do you think? What is your favorite dopant?
