Line 6:
=== Ryotaro Nogami/Kamen Rider {{color|red|D}}{{color|blue|e}}{{color|gold|n}}-{{color|purple|O}} (portrayed by Takeru Satoh and Takuya Mizoguchi) ===
The protagonist and eponymous Kamen Rider, Ryotaro is quite possibly [[Cosmic Plaything|the unluckiest being on Earth]] (and a High School drop-out supporting his only other family member, his older sister Airi); every day is [[The Chew Toy|a parade of misfortune for him]]. In the middle of an unusually bad day, he's possessed by a time-travelling monster called an Imagin, meets a strange girl who tells him he's a [[Ripple
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: As noted above, it takes a lot to rile him {{spoiler|such as the death of Yuto}}, but when it happens, [[Tranquil Fury|you should run]].
Line 39:
* [[Powers Via Possession]]: How Ryotaro is able to access most of Den-O's forms.
** [[Many Spirits Inside of One]]: In his Climax and Super Climax Forms.
* [[Ripple
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Sensitive Guy to Yuto's Manly Man.
* [[Skunk Stripe]]: Whenever an Imagin possesses him, he gets a different color streak in his hair.
Line 58:
* [[Dope Slap]]: A master of this trope. Her punches are what help mellow Sieg's arrogant [[Jerkass]]-ness.
* [[Fountain of Youth]]
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Tamaki Matsumoto has done voice overs for a few anime, including ''[[Code Geass]]'' (as Empress Tianzi).
* {{spoiler|[[MacGuffin Girl]]}}
* [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]]: Masculine Girl to Ryotaro's Feminine Boy.
Line 77:
* {{spoiler|[[Big Damn Heroes]]: rescues Kintaros and Urataros in the past, and brings them ([[My Friends and Zoidberg|and Sieg]]) to the present for the final battle.}}
* [[Genki Girl]]: And ''how''.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Rina Akiyama was also Mana Kazaya, the female lead of ''[[Kamen Rider Agito]]''; she also cameos in ''[[Kamen Rider Ryuki]]'' as an amusement park worker, ''[[Kamen Rider Kiva]]'' as a policewoman, and a poster of her appears anachronistically in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3]]''.
* [[In the Style Of]]: Double-Action Coffee Form, along with Airi = Light Pop. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHtLUnjCFfU No, seriously].
* [[Lethal Chef]]: She puts salt, pepper, ''flour'', and '''''wasabi''''' in her coffee. The only people who like it are the Imagin.
Line 103:
=== {{color|red|Momotaros}}DenLinerKamen Rider Den-O Sword Form (voiced by [[Toshihiko Seki]]; suit actor Seiji Takaiwa) ===
The first Imagin to possess Ryotaro, he resembles the red oni from the legend of Momotaro, and his abilities (including those as Den-O Sword Form) are drawn from the same story. [[Hot
* [[Anime Hair]]: A side effect on people possessed by him.
Line 138:
** [[Incoming Ham]]: [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Exactly what his]] [[Catch Phrase]] [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|says.]]
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]
* [[Literal Ass
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Even moreso than the rest of the cast. He calls Urataros "Kame" (Turtle), Kintaros "Kuma" (Bear), Ryutaros "Kozo" (Brat) or "Hanatare Kozo" (Snot-Nosed Brat), Hana "Hanakuso Onna" (Nosy Woman), Sieg "Chicken Wings", Deneb "Odebu" (Tubby) and Teddy "Tendon". He also has a habit of tacking "Yaro" (a rude version of "you", usually rendered as "Jerk" or "Bastard") onto the end of most of his nicknames; in fact, he only refers to enemy Imagin by their species and with "Yaro" tacked on the end, as in "Mogura Yaro" (Mole Jerk)
* [[Really Gets Around]]: Thanks to [[Crossover|crossovers]] and other hijinks, Momo has the distinction of having possessed no less than four different Kamen Riders: Den-O, [[Kamen Rider Decade|Decade]], [[Kamen Rider Kiva|Kiva]], and [[Kamen Rider Kuuga|Kuuga]], though in the case of the latter two he only possessed them as civilians and never used their unique Rider powers.
** In ''Let's Go Kamen Rider'', he possesses [[Kamen Rider OOO|Ankh]] while ''he's'' already possessing the dead body of Shingo Izumi. He also possessed Eiji in a recent stage show.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: People possessed by Imagin have their eyes change color to match; Momo, obviously, makes them go red.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The red to Urataros' blue.
* [[Regular Caller]]: Can detect enemy Imagin.
Line 150:
* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: He can't swim.
* [[Translation Convention]]: Momo's catchphrase "Ore, sanjou!" is a rough way of saying "I have arrived!" (fitting for the Train-themed rider), "Here I am!", or "Here I come!", but most fans just leave it in Japanese because there's no translation that sounds quite right.
* [[Useful Notes On Japanese Culture]]: Based off the legend of [
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]
** [[BFS]]: DenLiner
Line 178:
* [[Really Gets Around]]: In addition to flirting with anything with two X chromosomes, Ura is also the Imagin who possesses the most characters in the whole of ''Den-O'' and its related materials (Ryotaro, Yuto, Kotaro, [[Kamen Rider Kiva|Jiro/Garulu]], [[Kamen Rider Decade|Tsukasa Kadoya, Natsumi Hikari]], a [[Kamen Rider Decade|DiEnd]]-summoned [[Kamen Rider Agito|G-3]], and finally DenGasher himself).
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The blue to Momotaros' red.
* [[Sexy Man, Instant Harem]]: He was able to woo all of the nurses while in the hospital, and him walking into the carnival gets all the girls to squeal and rush toward him.
* [[The Smart Guy]]
** [[The Lancer]]: Whenever Ryotaro's not around, he doubles as this towards Momotaros.
* [[Stoic Spectacles]]: People possessed by him gain these in addition to the blue eyes and streak in their hair.
* [[Super Not-Drowning Skills]]: As opposed to Momotaros. Justified that he's based on a turtle, who are good swimmers.
* [[Useful Notes On Japanese Culture]]: Based off the legend of [
* [[Weapon of Choice]]
** [[Armed Legs]]: Climax Form's Kick Mode
Line 199:
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: In an odd variation, he only says the name of his [[Finishing Move]] ''after'' performing it, which Ryotaro [[Lampshade Hanging|specifically notes]] the first time he does it.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "My strength has made you cry. Wipe your tears with this!" <ref>''"Ore no tsuyosa ni omae ga naita! Namida wa kore de fuitoke!"''</ref> Sometimes shortened to just "My strength has made you cry!" or just "You cried!" <ref>''"Nakerude!"''</ref>.
* [[Character Tics]]: Pops his neck by pushing a hand (or sometimes a finger) against his chin. The [[Badass Arm
* [[Cherry Blossoms]]: Parodied, as occasionally the transformation into Ax Form will be accompanied by fluttering...''tissues''. "Wipe your tears", indeed.
* [[The Ditz]]: You have to wonder about the sort of person who mistakes Sumo for Karate and doesn't realize what he's done until ''children'' explain it to him.
* [[Does Not Know His Own Strength]]
* [[Eyes of Gold]]: Works just the same as [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]] for Momotaros.
* [[Finishing Move]]: ''Dynamic Chop''
* [[Gentle Giant]]
Line 221:
* [[Noodle Incident]]: Destroying the DenGasher's bathtub, causing Urataros to be swept away. It actually happened in-series, but we never see the details on-screen.
* [[To Be a Master]]: His desire to be the strongest warrior presumably comes from his original contractor Honjo.
* [[Useful Notes On Japanese Culture]]: Based off the legend of [
* [[Weapon of Choice]]
** [[An Axe to Grind]]: Kintaros Ax and UrataRod Ax Mode.
Line 264:
* [[Weapon of Choice]]
** [[Chest Blaster]] [[Macross Missile Massacre|Massacre]]: Climax Form's Boistous Shot
** [[The Gunslinger]]: although if in dire situations, he can resort to [[Pistol
*** [[BFG]]: Ryuvolver
*** [[Handguns]]: DenLiner Gun Mode
Line 274:
* [[Agent Peacock]]
* [[Aloof Ally]]: Inverted; he's actually ''willing'' to lend a hand to the DenLiner crew whenever and however he can, but most of the time the Taros (especially Momo) don't want anything to do with him.
* [[Animal Motifs]]: [[Swans
* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Perhaps as a result of audience reaction towards him. In later appearances, Sieg is treated with comedic levels of contempt by the other Taros, probably due to his acerbic personality.
Line 281:
* [[Deus Exit Machina]]: Wing Form is Den-O's most powerful basic form, and writers have made sure that his use was a rarity.
** The situation is inverted in ''Ore, Tanjo!'' where Sieg is the only Imagin available for a good portion of the movie<ref>Ura and Kin were held captive, Ryuta was temporarily convinced by Gaoh to his side, and Momo couldn't synchronize with Ryotaro because the latter has amnesia</ref>. Played straight again later, where Sieg is the only Den-O that isn't present in the movie's climax, although no explanation was given for that<ref>since Yuuto could have just kidnapped a Sieg-possessed Ryotaro for the battle</ref> except perhaps being injured after getting hit by Gaoh's Tyrant Clash as Den-O.
* [[Eleventh
* [[Everything's Better With Princesses]]: At least, that's what he thinks with Hana, always calling her "Hime-san" (Princess) whenever she appear after she slapped him in the face.
* [[Finishing Move]]: ''Royal Smash''
Line 300:
** [[Dual-Wielding]]: Uses a weapon each composed of two pieces of the DenGasher.
*** [[An Axe to Grind]]: / Handaxe Mode (made from the Axe and Gun parts)
*** [[Precision
* [[The White Prince]]
Line 352:
* [[Badass Normal]]
* [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]: Tsukkomi to Deneb's Boke.
* [[Brought to You By The Letter "S"]]: (A)ltair and (V)ega, which is visible on both their corresponding Zeronos cards, the DenGasher cars, and their [[Finishing Move|Finishing Moves]].
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Let me say this to start: I'm pr-e-tty strong!" <ref>''"Saisho ni itte oku! Ore wa ka~na~ri tsuyoi!"''</ref>. On a couple of occasions, Yuto replaces the second part with "I'm pretty ticked off!"
** [[Catchphrase Spouting Duo]]: Oftentimes, with Deneb.
* [[Character Tics]]: [[Giving Someone the Pointer Finger]] ("Let me say this to start! I'm pr-e-tty...") followed by the [[Bicep
* [[Deadly Upgrade]]: {{spoiler|The Zero Form cards.}}
* [[Deus Exit Machina]]: Hospitalized, and therefore absent, for a good portion of ''Final Countdown'' after [[Taking the Bullet]] for Kohana, but reappears just in time for the climax. In ''Onigashima Battleship'', the alteration of the timeline causes him to be erased from reality, again.
Line 366:
** Denebick Buster: ''Buster Nova''
* [[Heroic Willpower]]: While Ryotaro can't manifest any decent Den-O forms by himself (until Liner Form), Yuto's stronger will allows him to assume Zeronos Altair Form without the aid of an Imagin.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Yuichi Nakamura played Kyosuke Kiriya in ''[[Kamen Rider Hibiki]]''. Thankfully, playing Yuto rescued him from the Scrappy heap. He also portrayed [[Gundam 00|Lockon Stratos]] in a spread for ''Newtype'' Magazine's [[Cosplay]] offshoot, ''Layers''.
* [[Holding Back the Phlebotinum]]: With good reason.
** And, apparently, Sakurai himself has a good reason for giving power with such a drawback in the first place. {{spoiler|Erasing [[Heroic Sacrifice|his (Sakurai's) own existence]] allows Yuto to [[Screw Destiny|write his *own* history]] <ref>in another timeline, anyway</ref>.}}
Line 433:
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: With Yuto.
* [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: in ''Onigashima Battleship''. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]]'' net spinoff episode which advertised the movie.
* [[Useful Notes On Japanese Culture]]: Inspired by the legend of [
* [[Weapon of Choice]]
** [[The Archer]]: / Bowgun Mode
Line 470:
** Rather than bring Kai back, they've had the Leo Imagin stand in to represent the Imagin any time the [[Kamen Rider]] evil organizations are gathered, like in ''Let's Go Kamen Riders''.
* [[Elite Mook]]: the New Molech Imagin, which always come up in large numbers.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]DenGasher[[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Pull up a chair, we're gonna be here a while.
** Bat Imagin (1-2) = Kiyoyuki Tanaka ([[Bleach|Tessai Tsukabishi]])
** Chameleon Imagin (3-4) = [[Junichi Kanemaru]]
Line 507:
** [[Blow You Away|Heaven]]
** [[Making a Splash|Hades]]
*** [[If It Swims, It Flies]]: some Hades Gigandeath have demonstrated this ability.
** [[Dishing Out Dirt|Hell]]
Line 524:
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: Hiroyuki Watanabe was 51 during filming, making him the oldest actor to portray a Kamen Rider.
* [[Cool Sword|Cool]] [[BFS|Big Sword]]: / Sword Mode
* [[Death By Genre Savviness]]: doesn't wait for Sword Form to finish charging up his [[Finishing Move]], going in for the kill, {{spoiler|[[Out
* [[Finishing Move]]: ''Tyrant Crash'' <ref>Similar to Den-O's Extreme Slash.</ref>
* [[Gang of Hats]]: his Imagin followers are all reptilian.
Line 530:
* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: His goal is to destroy all time because he's [[For the Evulz|grown bored of it]] and considers it pointless.
* [[No Body Left Behind]]: {{spoiler|After Den-O kills him he's 'consumed by time' and reduced to sand.}}
* [[No
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: He wanted to destroy time itself.
* [[Palette Swap]]: The Gaoh costume is built from a Den-O costume, but it's still pretty distinct...at least until they used '''it''' to build Yuuki from the third movie...
* [[Single
* [[Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him]]: After uncovering the DenLiner, Gaoh heads to Ryotaro's birthday with the intent of erasing the day from existence, therefore destroying Ryotaro AND Den-O.
* [[Villain Song]]: while he doesn't sing it in the movie itself, he sings ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gbUUokbMxw Double Action Gaoh Form]''. His is also the only solo version of the song.
Line 546:
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: His father was a cop who died on the job when Kazuya was still very young.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: In addition to the [[Retroactive Recognition]] example, Suzuki's father is played by Ryoji Morimoto, who ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' fans will recognize as [[Kamen Rider Blade|Hajime Aikawa/Kamen Rider Chalice]]. For extra [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] points, his character is named Kazuma, just like ''Blade'''s protagonist.
* [[Inspector Lestrade]]
* [[This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself]]: Though Hana could kick Kuroki's butt five ways from Sunday, she lets Suzuki collar him, even if it does mean a drawn-out fight where he takes his share of lumps.
Line 704:
* [[Missing Mom]]: {{spoiler|And the letters in the box with the golden gun are from her, which is part of the reason Daiki went back to "redo" the theft.}}
* [[Rasputinian Death]]: {{spoiler|1=After Eve goes [[Axe Crazy]] and becomes G Den-O itself, Reiji gives / a K-Touch to become [[Super Mode|DiEnd Complete Form]]. He then uses a special card to summon Kamen Riders [[Kamen Rider Agito|G4]], [[Kamen Rider Ryuki|Ryuga]], [[Kamen Rider 555|Orga]], [[Kamen Rider Blade|Glaive]], [[Kamen Rider Hibiki|Kabuki]], [[Kamen Rider Kabuto|Caucasus]], [[Kamen Rider Kiva|Arc]], and [[Kamen Rider Double|Skull]] to all do their [[Finishing Move]] along side him to destroy G Den-O.}}
* [[Shout
** [[Kamen Rider Dragon Knight|A sphere with flipping symmetrical light rings...]]
* [[The Stoic]]: {{spoiler|Which leads to Eve going [[Axe Crazy]] when Kurosaki is given the letters from his mother and becomes emotional.}}
