Kamen Rider Den-O
(
?面ライダ?電王
,
Kamen Raid? Den'?
,
lit.
'
Masked Rider Electro-King
'
)
is the seventeenth installment in the popular
Kamen Rider Series
of
tokusatsu
programs. It is a joint collaboration between Ishimori Productions and
Toei
. It premiered January 28, 2007 on
TV Asahi
, and concluded airing on January 20, 2008. Its lead actor
Takeru Satoh
is the first Kamen Rider Series lead born in the
Heisei period
of Japanese history. It aired on the
Super Hero Time
slot alongside
Juken Sentai Gekiranger
.
Along with the usual film adaptation that
Heisei
Kamen Rider series have released during the late summer of their broadcast run,
Den-O
had a
second film
released in the spring following its broadcast run which grossed 730 million yen (approximately
US$
6.8 million)
[1]
and a series of ten
OVA
shorts, both of which are firsts for any
Kamen Rider
. Continuing the trend,
Kamen Rider Den-O
also had a third film released in October 2008, the first for any Kamen Rider series
[1]
[2]
and a second series of 12 OVA shorts was released in November 2008.
Takeru Satoh
claims that the reason that
Den-O
has amassed such popularity is because of its comedic timing.
[2]
A fourth film was released on May 1, 2009,
[3]
and three more released in the summer of 2010.
Synopsis
[
edit
]
Ryotaro Nogami, a young man with a lot of bad luck, 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, a 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 fiance, 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.

has been parodied and referenced in recent episodes of various anime.
- Part A of episode 169 of
Sgt. Frog
(

(

,
Urere Densha no ?sama de Arimasu
)
and featured the
Keroro Platoon
piloting various frog-themed bullet trains similar to the control of the DenLiner. The episode featured phrases such as "Here I come!"

,
Boku, sanj?!
)
, "I am from the start, at the climax"
(

,
Boku wa saisho kara kuraimakkusu dayo
)
, and "My finishing attack..."
(

,
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?じゃん!い?じゃん!スゲ?じゃん?!
,
? jan! ? jan! Sug? jan?!
)
is spoken by Giroro, as these are the lyrics of "

Den-O
on his "KeroLiner"
(
