In Kamen Rider W, Dopants are humans who gain superpower abilities and turn into monster by accessing the power of Gaia Memories, which resemble USB flash drives.
Each Gaia Memory typically has a special initial and unique power. The side effects of using these memories can lead to dependence and obsession with power.
For this reason, Kamen Rider W strives with all its might to defeat the Dopants and maintain security in Futo City. However, the struggle is not easy, as there are many Dopants whose powers are quite troublesome.
Below, we will review top ten most powerful Dopants in Kamen Rider W. Who are they? Let's get straight to it!
10. Arms
To kick off this list, we have the Arms Dopant, whose powers once overwhelmed Kamen Rider W.
Kenji Kurata is a member of Twin Rose, a group of thieves. He transforms into a Dopant with the power of a Gaia Memory and claims to be a Kamen Rider during his actions.
Arms Dopant's powers are quite troublesome. He fights using a sword called the Shield Sword. Shotaro and Philip must transform using the Fang Joker's powers to defeat him. For this reason, the Arms Dopant is a fitting candidate for this position.
9. Nazca
Nazca Dopant is one of the Dopants working under the Sonozaki family's orders. The first user of the Nazca Memory was Kirihiko Sudo, Saeko's husband. He is a highly dedicated man who deeply loves the city of Futo.
Kirihiko's powers while using Nazca are quite superior to those of other Dopants. He also briefly awakened the power of Nazca, allowing him to move at superhuman speed. Unfortunately, the side effects of this power affected Kirihiko's body, leading to his eventual elimination by Saeko, who deemed him useless.
8. Beast
Maruo Arima is a user of the Beast Memory. In the past, he committed a robbery, which was investigated by Soukichi Narumi. However, Maruo's crimes were forgotten until Bito sacrificed himself in the case.
Maruo, with his Beast powers, is involved in a conflict with Kamen Rider W. True to his name, Beast's powers are extremely ferocious and wild. He can even move incredibly fast and has extraordinary regeneration abilities. To defeat him, Kamen Rider W needs to use his Xtreme form.

7. Hopper
The user of Hopper's memory is a mysterious woman who enjoys eating cockroaches. She is an executioner working for the museum, much like the Smilodon Dopant. Her job is to execute those who betray the museum.
Hopper Dopant possesses superior speed and super kicks. She is able to move nimbly and overwhelm Kamen Riders. However, this Dopant is defeated by Accel. Before being captured by Ryu, the user of Hopper's memory is killed by the Smilodon Dopant to prevent her from revealing the museum's secrets.
6. Smilodon
This Dopant is unique because the user of the Smilodon Memory is not a human, but a cat named Mick, kept by the Sonozaki family. He is like a typical cat, cute and playful.
However, it transforms into a terrifying monster when it transforms into a Dopant. The Smilodon Dopant's abilities are even stronger than those of the previous Dopant. It can move extremely fast and dodge W and Accel's attacks. It also doesn't hesitate to kill enemies according to its master's orders.
5. Taboo
Taboo is a Gaia Memory used by Sonozaki Saeko to transform into a Dopant. She is one of the key characters in the distribution of Gaia Memories in Futo City. She is also a major enemy, often standing in Shotaro and Philip's way.
In combat, Taboo Dopant's power is not to be underestimated. She is capable of creating a kind of energy ball that can cause a deadly explosion. Furthermore, Taboo Dopant's power was also enhanced after Saeko underwent experiments with Dr. Isaka.

4. Clay Doll
Dolls are a favorite toy for children because they look cute, but that's not the case with the Clay Doll Dopant. Despite its doll-like appearance and being quite cute, this Dopant is still a monster with terrifying powers.
The user of the Clay Doll memory is Sonozaki Wakana, who used to work as a radio announcer in Futo City. She initially didn't want the power and was afraid of becoming a monster. However, everything changed after her father appointed her as the head of the Museum.
Wakana's Clay Doll powers developed rapidly after being connected to the Gaia Processor through the Gene Dopant. She then evolved into Clay Doll Xtreme, giving her the same ability as Philip to access information about the world.
3. Weather
In third place is the Weather Dopant, whose power is incredibly powerful and incredibly difficult to defeat.
The user of this memory is a doctor named Isaka, who is obsessed with the power of the Gaia Memory. As the name suggests, this memory has the power to manipulate the weather.
Isaka dedicates all his time to conducting experiments and strengthening himself over time. He does this with the goal of defeating the power of Sonozaki Ryubee's Terror memory.
Isaka is also the mastermind behind the murder of Kamen Rider Accel's father. Because of this, Ryu is obsessed with destroying Isaka. Unfortunately, Isaka's power far surpasses Accel's, and he has been able to defeat both W and Accel multiple times.
2. Terror
Terror Dopant is an enemy with terrifying power far above average. The user of this memory is the leader of the Sonozaki family, Ryubee. Despite his humble and cackling demeanor, Ryubee is actually incredibly difficult to defeat.
As his name suggests, this Dopant is capable of instilling incredible terror into his opponents, imbuing them with threats and fear. Anyone who encounters this Dopant is guaranteed to flee in fear.
Kamen Rider W and Accel were even rendered helpless in their fight against this Dopant. Besides instilling fear, this Dopant also possesses several deadly techniques, such as the Terror Field, which can incinerate opponents, and the Terror Dragon, which is created from his head.
1. Utopia
Utopia Dopant's abilities are far more complex and diverse, making him the final enemy of Kamen Rider W. The user of this memory is a researcher from Foundation X named Jun Kazu.
This Dopant's primary power is reality warping, which allows it to grant its user's wishes and absorb the opponent's ambitions. Furthermore, this Dopant can also use telekinesis and pyrokinesis.
Kazu's compatibility with Utopia's memories is 98%, allowing him to harness Utopia's power to its full potential. Because of this, he is a formidable opponent for Kamen Rider W.
