Synopsis[edit]

Ryotaro Nogami is a young man with a lot of bad luck. One day, he finds a strange pass and things got stranger from a mysterious girl and a large time-traveling train to being possessed by an entity called an Imagin, beings from an alternate future whose kind are attempting to change the past. Though slightly confused about the nature of the crisis, Ryotaro, along with the aid of the hot-headed, violent Imagin, dubbed Momotaros, becomes Kamen Rider Den-O, traveling to different times on the DenLiner to battle the evil Imagin to prevent them from altering the past to affect the present and future. During his adventure, Ryotaro is joined by other Imagin who aid him as well; the lying, manipulating and womanizing Urataros, the herculean (and narcoleptic) Kintaros, and the childish yet powerful Ryutaros. He later meets the mysterious Yuto Sakurai and his bumbling Imagin partner Deneb. Yuto is not only Kamen Rider Zeronos but is the younger incarnation of Ryotaro's older sister Airi's fiancé, Sakurai, who mysteriously disappeared and is tied to the mysteries involving the Imagin and a person known as the Junction Point.

Imagin[edit]

Imagin (イマジンImajin) are creatures from the future who have come to the year 2007 in hopes of changing the past to alter the future that is their extinction. To reach this goal, Imagin grant the wishes of weak-hearted humans and then go back in time to that individual's most precious memory and begin to rampage there. When they lose control of their humanoid forms, Imagin grow into massive proportions known as Gigandeath.

The episode featured phrases such as 'Here I come!' (僕、参上！Boku, sanjō!), 'I am from the start, at the climax' (僕は最初からクライマックスだよBoku wa saisho kara kuraimakkusu dayo), and 'My finishing attack…' (僕の必殺技…Boku no hissatsu waza…) spoken by Urere (Urere replaced Momotaros's boastful 'Ore' (俺) with the more humble 'Boku' (僕)). Urere is also voiced by Toshihiko Seki, who also provided the voice of Momotaros in Den-O. The phrase 'It's good! It's great! It's awesome!' (いーじゃん！いーじゃん！スゲーじゃん？！Ī jan! Ī jan! Sugē jan?!) is spoken by Giroro, as these are the lyrics of 'Climax Jump', the opening theme song of Den-O. Keroro also re-enacts the opening sequence of Den-O on his 'KeroLiner' (ケロライナーKerorainā).
• Episode 16 of Hayate the Combat Butler (ハヤテのごとく!Hayate no Gotoku!) featured 'guest' appearances of the DenGasher Sword, Rod, and Ax Modes as well as cameo appearances of the Owner, Momotaros, and Hana on a train very similar to the DenLiner Gouka.
• In episode 65 of Gintama, Okita uses Ryutaros' catchphrase 'Is it okay if I beat you? Your answer doesn't matter!' (倒してもいい？答えは聞いてないけど！Taoshite mo ii? Kotae wa kiitenai kedo!) and his eyes flash purple while battling Kagura. Episode 89 of Gintama also features this visual gag. Kenichi Suzumura, who voices Ryutaros in Den-O, voices Okita in Gintama.
