Spoilers for Kamen Rider Den-O 39. Like, major spoilers. Skip this if you want to remain unspoiled.

So, Den-O 39.

Yuto was a Jr High student in 1993? That would place him as a 26 year old (12 + 14 years) at least, and he doesn't seem that old to me. Maybe I'm not that familiar with pre-Jr High uniforms and he's younger.

Two Imagin this episode. Three, really, but the third doesn't fight AFAIK. One gets destroyed by Momotaros after Momotaros has to redo his pose. He doesn't get to the past but Ryotaro goes anyway with Hana and sees Sakurai-san the elder.

The second one gets Yuto's science teacher from way back when. And flies into the past, right to the day where Yuto of the past and his classmates are on a field trip. Unfortunately, in the massive confusion, Younger Yuto grabs his telescope and huddles near the van, which blows up. (Of note, this is the first female Imagin we've ever seen.)

Present Yuto then disappears kind of like Sieg was doing, except this is on a human and is rather disturbing. Ryotaro gets all pissy, goes very vengefully into Liner Mode, and exacts revenge on the Imagin. Everything else reforms *but* Young Yuto, and therefore future Yuto.

So, right now, Yuto does not exist, who knows what's going on with Zeronos. Or Sakurai-san, since his younger self was killed. (Those cards were a freaking gamble, and Yuto certainly lost!)

Next week's preview has somebody in the new Zeronos form, as well as Deneb possessing Ryotaro and taking up residence on the DenLiner.
