And we’re back with more Kamen Rider Den-O! 3 Imagin now possess Ryutaro. As the weight of that continues to bear on his body and soul, what will he do when a hidden 4th awakens within him? Ryutaros unveils himself! This dragon themed, break dancing, trouble maker is here for one reason. To Defeat Ryutarou. But before he can do that, Den-O Gun Form will rise!
Meanwhile the memories in Airi’s heart begin to surface. Memories of a telescope, of stars once seen, and a love once loved. A familiar watch is in her possession as well, one that a mystery man still holds as well. Inscribed within are the words “the past should give us hope”. What does this mean for Airi? Why does this man continue to appear? Time will tell.
Fun Fact #5
Urataros was the 2nd Imagin to join the Den-Liner crew. As such we explore his origins in myth next! Urataros is based on the legend of Urashimataro. Dating back to nearly the 8th century this legend centers around the fisherman Urashimataro who’s act of kindness, saving a small turtle from violent children, earned him the respect of the sea emperor Ryujin. Urashimataro had coincidentally just saved Ryujin’s daughter.
Given gills to breath water and taken to the bottom of the sea Urashimatro was welcomed by Ryujin and his daughter, now a lovely princess named Otohime. Despite his pleasurable stay in the palace of Ryugu-Jo he asks to retun home mere days after his arrival. given a box that will protect, but instructed by Otohime not to open it, Urashimataro returns to the surface. In his absence what felt like mere days to him had actually been 300 years. His family and life as he knew it were gone, in a panic he opened the Tamatebako box given to him by Otohime. Which unleashed the ravages of 300 years of rapid age upon him….
Next week we take a look at Kintaros and his connections to the legend of Kintaro! Be sure to click “discuss on the TokuNation forums” at the bottom of this post to join our weekly discussion!
Will he defeat Den-O, or empower him?
Either way, the destructive Gun Form is here!
And what has awoken in Airi's heart?
Memories of a man, of love, and a watch....
So let's watch Den-O 13-15!
I've liked so far how they've introduced each new form into the series, but I have to wonder how the Imagin were turned into energy to begin with. If they're invaders from the future, then why come only halfway to 2007 to have to go further back?
It also seems like each new Momo-tachi that comes on is not really any more powerful than the other, just differently attributed.
Owner is just strange. I originally thought he was Ryutarou's future self. Now I'm not so sure. And I have a mad crush on Hana.
To be honest, I skipped episodes 11 and 12 last week. I rewatched the early part of Den-O not that long ago and this part of the series really doesn't hold up that well to multiple rewatches. The whole thing of taking four episodes to introduce each new Imagin really makes the early part of the show drag, although that might also just be "two-episode arc" fatigue leftover from Fourze and Wizard, too. Either way, the Ryutaros episodes are a ton of fun and I'm looking forward to getting back into this.
Don't like Gun Form.
That vomiting fish has to be the weirdest Imagin so far.
I sometimes feel that Japanese stuff tends to misplace characters to designs. Momotaros and Kintaros pretty well suit their designs, but nothing about Uratros really implies what he's like, and Ryuutaros could not be more different. He's also just plain obnoxious, and is absolutely a tired archtype "child" character. Just because you bounce a lot does not make you a "kid."
But Double-Action Gun Form is just a cool song.

But, hey, who am I to judge? Some people might grow to like him...and I'm not including me because I already watched the whole series. And now I'm suppressing the urge to post spoilers for the whole series. (Hana is Airi's daughter.
