It’s time at last for the finale of Kamen Rider Den-O with Let’s Watch Wednesdays! It’s been a long journey but we’re finally here. Admittedly this week is more optional than anything, the story proper was wrapped up with Final Countdown, but a few new mysteries abound…
Picking up just after a brief crossover in Kamen Rider Decade, Onigashima Warship sees a small army of Oni transported from the past to the year 1980. Here they seek the key to the Onigashima Warship, literally their last trump card. With the young boy Yu and a little help from Kamen Rider Decade, can the Den-Liner crew repair the past and fix the de-aged Ryutaro or return the vanished Yuuto? A passing through rider or two, plenty of body snatching, and form changes abound!
And the finale, the Cho Den-O Trilogy! The first film, Episode Red, features Kamen Rider Zeronos and Airi Nogami sorting out the sordid history (and future) of their love. Episode Blue features New Den-O & Teddy. Friends from the future, can these inheritors of the Den-O legacy survive the past and return to their future? And finally Episode Yellow focuses on, Kamen Rider Diend?! That’s right, the thieving hero/crook from Kamen Rider Decade has come to (sort of) right the wrongs of his own past. But being pursued by the new Kamen Rider G Den-O brings it’s own problems. With time travelling hijinks, more than a few double crosses, precious mementos, and at least one insane artificial Imagin, is it any wonder Diend is here? Have no fear, this time Diend steals the show with his Complete Form!

Thanks for watching Kamen Rider Den-O on Let's Watch Wednesdays! Don't forget to vote in our poll for the enxt upcoming LWW segment!
Not going to take the time to watch these right now, either, but I'll at least recap my thoughts as I remember them:
I remember liking the Imagin in this one and, if I remember correctly, this was the one with the ridiculous fake time travel sequence made out of curtains and crayon drawings. That bit was great.
Onigashima Warship: aka, "Where the First/Next suits went to die." I remember that Goldra and Silvra were actually briefly considered to be Riders when I first started following the franchise, but that seems to have been changed pretty quickly. I also always found it kind of weird that this was Zeronos's only appearance in anything Decade-related.
Episode Red: Zero No Star Twinkle: Seriously, how hilariously awesome is that subtitle?
Episode Blue: The one with Rinko from Wizard. I honestly don't remember much about this one, but I do recall liking the story about the girl traveling back in time to be less of an asshole to her grandma. Probably my least favorite of the three, but it had heart.
Episode Yellow: The bit with the Denliner pass is one of my favorite jokes in the entirety of Den-O. At the time I thought it was really weird to see Diend returning to headline this film, but that was before Decade and Narutaki came back every nine months. I remember this was a fun one and Diend Complete is one of the ugliest suits in Rider history.
So I guess that's it, then? I was wondering if Let's Go Riders would be included because it was an OOO/Den-O crossover. Guess not. Oh well, wasn't going to rewatch that one, either.
This LWW was the test bed for the new Rider cameo and the V-Cinema. Den-O died for our sins
