Kamen Rider Den-O (仮面ライダー電王, Kamen Raidā Den'ō, lit.'Masked Rider Electro-King') is the seventeenth installment in the popular

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

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 fiancé, Sakurai, who mysteriously disappeared and is tied to the mysteries involving the Imagin and a person known as the Junction Point.

Imagin

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.

Novels

Pretty Den-O Appears!

Kamen Rider Den-O: Pretty Den-O Appears! (仮面ライダー電王 プリティ電王とうじょう!, Kamen Raidā Den'ō Puriti Den'ō Tōjō!) was originally scheduled for release in Japan on April 24, 2020 as part of the Toei Manga Festival (東映まんがまつり, Tōei Manga Matsuri),[32] but was later moved to August 14, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[33] The storyline took place in 1989 during Kamen Rider Black RX.[34]

Parodies

Kamen Rider Den-O has been parodied and referenced in recent episodes of various anime.

  • Part A of episode 169 of
    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.
