IMG ID: Train coming down from the heavens to aid humanity

Trains are like angels, their beauty is blinding and they descend from the heaven's to aid humanity, pure and perfect, free from the constraints of the world of mortals

Do you think Tezuka could be a Singular Point?

considering that the popular theory is that all his predictions come true because he's seen it before in a different timeline....yes he definitely could be

(him losing his memories in zi-o? well, yuuto for one thing. zi-o nonsense for another)

The time train, DenLiner! Will its next stop be in the past or the future? The Ore Sanjo station sign was installed for a limited time from July 15 to September 3, 2023. This sign was installed as part of a collaboration with the THE Kamen Rider Exhibition held at Hirakata Park and attracted a lot of attention. This Denliner is an improved monorail version of the Denliner.

Time Train Stewardess

OPEN RP

The train of time, the DenLiner. Traveling across the past and the future. Where is it's next destination? Who is to say.

Somehow, you got lucky enough to acquire a ticket. To view history through the windows if the train. You weren't in first class, however. That was restricted to a group of weirdos who caused so much havoc you could hear it.

As you where enjoying your trip, the stewardess of the train approached you. Clad in her tight kinky outfit of vinels, leather and latex. An ass that could win awards swaying back and forth as she approached you with a grin

"Hello~! I hope you have been enjoying your stay~!" She smiled cheerfully "Can I get you something to eat or drink? Or maybe something...." Leaning forwards, in a way that showed off her chest a bit more, she gave a flirtatious wink and a giggle "Maybe something... Special in the back~?"

a lot of people have said that the den o ending took away from the emotional impact of the set up for it. i honestly dont quite think so.

i think the imagin getting to live is another heart touching part of their story. they are imagins, intangible sand creatures who prey on people in their worst moments, twisting their deepest wishes in order to go back in time to the absolute most important time in their lives to destroy the timeline from there, yet clearly have chosen to do good--they have love and affection for their contract holder and do not want to simply use him for any ends of their own, they have chosen to sacrifice themselves in order to save this timeline, a time they are not even from, a time with happy and sad moments alike, all because of what being a part of den o has done to them. they have grown from the uncaring and often cruel imagin they were at the start, hurtful to ryotaro by using his body as they felt, hurting him physically, trying to kill him, etc, to beings who genuinely adore ryotaro as a part of their family in a way. getting in one last defiance to their nature by getting physical forms and a FUTURE because they chose to save this timeline and created memories with people instead of destroying it entirely, that twists my heartstrings and definitely made me cry on my first watch and my many rewatches of den o.

now why do i say all of this about den o's ending? i want to mention how much i love it already and that is why the version of it where the imagin dont get to live absolutely would have CRUSHED me.

think about it:

- ryotaro is absolutely crushed. he has always been destined to be alone by nature. he is a singularity point. he can remember everything while everyone else forgets. his family died at an early age, his sister's fiance left and took with him his sister's happiness, who, mind you, is his only relative left, and also had to drop out of high school because of that. the one time he gets to make some close connections with anyone, who also remember because they were theyre with him and had his back through all the bullshit that was thrown at him? they get erased alongside the rest of their kind. they fought so hard to save the timeline, a timeline they didnt belong to, just because ryotaro showed them that they could do better than their own natures? who fought despite ryotaro's fear of losing them? this would absolutely destroy ryotaro. how could he go back to living life while also grieving the loss of the intangible demons that lived in his head? every little thing they left behind-- momotaros's wardrobe that he spent all of ryotaro's cash on, gifts left from urataros's paramours, kintaros's weights and gear, the drawings ryutaros made-- all of these tangible things that were left by the imagin, who didnt get to live for themselves without being tied to ryotaro as their only anchor for existing in this timeline? seeing them without the imagin who they belong to would be absolutely devastating.

- airi, who has gone through this intense period of grief before over something she couldn't remember or understand, once again has to deal with it, except in her brother. she can't really understand what hes been through, but she can remember those times when her little brother wasnt acting quite like himself, but rather someone quite younger and more impulsive, yet clearly loved her with a passion, just like her brother does. she can only do so much for him, like how he had to do for her merely a year ago. she can't help him through the worst of it, but also has to deal with her own memory problems and lingering grief over her fiance.

- hana would have to go back to being alone. she has no where else to go, as her future and her timeline is gone, erased. living alone on the denliner in the time before ryotaro and his merry gang got on board would havr been hard. she had just lost everything in her life, after all. but now, having seen the denliner full of life and color and energy with those imagin, having to go back to the cold, empty, sterile interior of the denliner's dining car? even naomi is crushed by the loss. it hurts to lose everything once, but this life that shes managed to rebuild in some sense of normalcy had made her happier, nicer. losing it all again in one fell swoop, once again powerless to do anything, that is absolutely despair inducing.

- and of course, sakurai yuuto. unlike hana, he really IS alone. hana has naomi, owner, any passenger who boards the denliner from time to time, but aboard the zeroliner? just him and deneb. without deneb, he is truly alone. he doesnt belong in the timeline anymore. it was his own (future self's) doing, after all. what life he had, he chose to leave it. for all the time he spent protecting time, he had his partner with him. he cooked and cleaned and tolerated yuuto's aggression. he may not have been the nicest, hell he hated deneb's over enthusiasm, his overbearing compassion, the shittake mushrooms in his food, and showed it through violence, but what was he supposed to do without the one who's been through it all with him? whos been his carer, his one connection through it all? deneb was someone who, knowing his fate, left behind one last meal for yuuto, and simply requested he eat his mushrooms, too kind for his own good, and is now gone forever. yuuto isn't a singularity point. he cant change things or protect the way ryotaro or hana can through their memories. but he has done everything in his power already to protect his former time. he has already sacrificed it all--the memories of himself, memories are time, after all, and it is the most he can ever give. he has never felt more powerless. he has felt lost, just doing what his future self had told him to do without any real connection to what he was protecting, sure, but never has he felt so useless in the way he feels when he couldnt even protect deneb's existence.

yeah im going through it, the den o time tripping ride! honestly this was a fun brainworm to have lol

New Year's Wish

Spoilers for episodes 46-47 of Kamen Rider Den-O. Yeah I'm writing character studies of the funny yellow guy, surprise to no one. A short piece from Kintaros' POV

Eventually Kintaros decides to take a nap and starts snoring. Anything is better than listening to those two work themselves up with worry.

The day after Neesan visits the Denliner and then goes to meet her fate is quiet. Tension across the Cafe car ripples as the train flies down the tracks and through time.

Sleep had been fitful and sparse, hard not to be when everyone felt like they were on the edge of a great battle. One final plunge to take to save the timeline.

And right after Christmas.

Kintaros had his own ideas for the New Year and Ryuuta was easily swept up in decorating with Naomi.

Momonoji brooded loudly. Kamechan was slightly more discreet. It mattered not; their time was all coming to an end sooner rather than later. He'd meet it head on, horn held high and palm outstretched.

Kintaros napped when he wanted, basking in the quiet company of the car. He snorted awake after some argument between Urataros and Momotaros, and cut straight to the heart of it.

"Ryotaro's strength has made you cry!" He spoke clearly, not bothering to stand from his usual spot.

"What? You stupid bear, no one said anything about Ryotaro or crying. Go back to sleep!"

"Kin-chan," Urataros said with his head cocked to the side and his clever red eyes fixed on Kintaros, "what do you mean?"

Sand rises in small trickles off of their folded hands. Glances at the door and then their own gloves silence the chatter for a moment.

"Ryotaro. You guys obviously are sad about what he said to Airi-Neesan."

At her mention, Ryuuta perked up from his coloring.

Momotaros stood and pointed a single finger at Kintaros' visor as he swaggered over to his seat, "What do you mean by that, hah?

Urataros followed with a performative "Sempai".

Kintaros laughed, tossing back his head and crossing his arms. "He called us Nakama. He's strong."

Momonoji stumbles as if he's been struck and then starts twitching. Kintaros lets him rage and fret while Urataros joins in. They fret and fumble, usual confident movements shaken by the truth of the matter. His strength had made them cry as all of the Imagin aboard the Denliner were staring it right in the face. Ryotaro had saved them, he was nakama, and they were still going to disappear, in the end.

Eventually Kintaros decides to take a nap and starts snoring. Anything is better than listening to those two work themselves up with worry.

His snores rip through the quiet train and shake Momo and Ura from their brooding, red and blue turning and leaving with sighs and complaints.

The new year was coming fast and Kintaros had some work to do. There was still time.
