Ore, Sanjou!

The next Kamen Rider for the highly popular Shinkocchou Sehou branch of SH Figuarts has been confirmed!

Fan favorite Kamen Rider Den-O takes the next Seihou slot, with his unique Plat Form configuration. This is Kamen Rider Den-O’s most basic state, fighting without aid from the Imagin creatures that normally give Den-O his powers.

And speaking of which, it seems another Den-O character is getting a Seihou release spot- the reveal stream that confirmed Plat Form also has an early look at a Shinkocchou Seihou based on everyones’ favorite climaxing swordsman- the Imagin Momotaros!

SH Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Den-O Plat Form is currently scheduled for release in September 2020. The price is a modest 5500 Yen before shipping and handling.

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!

This is the end folks! The Kamen Rider Den-O TV Series ends here! But don’t let that stop you, we’ve got 1 episode to view this week and 2 movies!

All of time is at stake and the child of Airi & Yuuto is revealed! Den-O, Zeronos, Momtaros, Urataros, Kintaros, Deneb, Hana, Naomi, and even Sieg! Everyone is here for the end. It’s all come down to this, the Imagin must destroy the future they’ve come from to save the world that’s meant to be. Can they survive?!

Climax Deka is here! With the battle against Kai over, Team Den-Liner has taken on the task of policing time and destroying rogue Imagin. But one, Negataros, will use the power of Nega Den-O and create his own evil organization. The only way to stop him? Team up with the one and only Kamen Rider Kiva!

And, it’s the Final Countdown. Two new trains of time have appeared! The Ghost Train controlled by the evil Kamen Rider Yuuki and, New Den-Liner?! The hero of a future 50 years from now and Ryutaro’s grandson, Kamen Rider New Den-O,  arrives with his Imagin Teddy to protect the present. An unprecedented team-up of Den-O and the Imagin is at hand for the final explosive battle!

But that isn’t even the end! We’ll be back next week with another trip down memory lane with a Den-O movie! Den-O & Decade Neo Generations: Onigashima Warship! Following that will be the FINAL week of Den-O on Let’s Watch Wednesdays with the Chou Den-O Trilogy of movies!

Let’s Watch Wednesdays approaches the end of everything with Kamen Rider Den-O!

The key to the past, present, & 2 futures lies with Airi Nogami, or more accurately, her unborn child! The child of Airi & Yuuto is the key to the Junction in time. Forgotten by time itself this child is too protected for even Kai to reach. Instead he’ll rampage an army of Imagin through time, even hijacking Den-Liner! One by one the Den-Liner crew will make their last stand as the battle for everything that will ever be comes to it’s conclusion! Tune in next week for the finale of the Kamen Rider Den-O TV Series!

Den-O Trivia #17
On the topic of actors again this week, let’s talk about our main hero Den-O/Ryutaro Nogami. The young Takeru Satoh made his debut in toku as the titular rider and played Den-O over the course of the entire 49 episode series as well as the first 3 movies. And although many tokusatsu alums tend to stick to their genre or return to it later, Satoh has done neither.

To this day Kamen Rider Den-O is Takeru Satoh’s only tokusatsu credit. After leaving the franchise in 2008 and having a string of jobs in the interim Satoh made an explosive debut again as another hero, this time ripped from the pages of manga. In 2012 he emerged as the titular hero in the first film of the Ruroni Kenshin live action trilogy! Satoh reprised this role for both sequels as well; The Great Kyoto Fire, & The End of A Legend.

Let’s Watch Wednesdays returns from a couple weeks on hiatus back to Kamen Rider Den-O! Zeronos has returned, but that may be all the good news our heroes will have for now.

Yuuto Sakurai, the older one, disappeared some time ago. That fateful day by the lake, the circumstances of it are known only to Ryutaro. If Yuuto Sakurai no longer exists in the memories of others, how can we be sure Ryutaro actually knows what happened? Kai counted on erasing Yuuto from time to connect his future to the present, but he didn’t count on Ryutaro’s memories. And if the two times don’t connect, Momotaros & the others will disappear along with their time, forever. Now that contested moment in time will be revisited by all parties involved. But who actually knows the truth?

Den-O Trivia #16
Back to actors! If you didn’t pick up on it yet, you may have seen Kamen Rider Zeronos’ actor before. Yuichi Nakamura, is the man we’ve come to know and love as the younger Yuuto. However don’t confuse him with the actor of the same name who voiced Beet J Stag from Go-Busters.  This is the Zeronos Yuichi Nakamura.

In any case Nakamura once had another role on an older rider series, Kamen Rider Hibiki! 2 years before he became Yuuto/Zeronos he played Kyosuke Kiriya, who would briefly transform into the at the time unnamed Kamen Rider Kyoki! His role as Kyoki may not have been as long as Zeronos but it’s always fun to see which characters toku actors have played previously.

“Take Care of Deneb.”

Let’s Watch Wednesdays returns to Kamen Rider Den-O but with the loss of one of our heroes. In case you haven’t noticed we’re rocking a Thursday Edition this week. Techincal difficulties on my end being to blame. But we’ll be back to normal next week.

Yuuto paid the ultimate price when his past self was erased from time. Or so it would seem. The Zeronos cards aren’t all bad after all. While the memories of a person disappear, they are protected from the ravages of time. But with no more green cards left, Yuuto must now resort to the red cards and an even greater price must be paid as well. The memories Yuuto’s made in the present will now cease to be. His past no longer exists, and now neither does his present, nor would it seem does his future. But one thing is certain, Zeronos Zero Form is a power to be reckoned with!

Den-O Trivia #15
It’s time to see if you were paying attention again! This week the show changed up something most people skip right past, the opening! That’s right, the usual rendition of Climax Jump you’re used to was replaced this week by Climax Jump Den-Liner Form. A rendition of the song sung by our lovable Imagin! Episode 40 is the first instance where the opening theme changes and the first where clips from the episode you’re about to watch are inserted into the montage.

Of course this isn’t the only alternate version of Climax Jump out there. In fact when Climax Jump was released as a Single there were 5 versions of the song just on that disc. But there are multiple other versions of the song each tied to a particular form of Den-O as well as several more official remixes of it. I actually know of at least 12 more versions of the song out there, bringing the total close to 20, all of which I have of course.
