Ride on Time (ライド・オン・タイム, Raido On Taimu) is the second episode of Kamen Rider Den-O. It is also the second episode of the four-part introduction arc of Momotaros/M-Ryotaro, Ryotaro Nogami and Kamen Rider Den-O (Sword Form).
Synopsis
Ryotaro discovers more about his duty as Den-O to protect the timestream as he tries to figure a way to appease Tetsuo before the Bat Imagin can ruin the past.
Plot
After boarding the DenLiner, the girl introduces herself as Hana, and the woman who gave him coffee introduces herself as Naomi. The Imagin that had possessed him also shows his form, taking the form of a red oni which Ryotaro believes is from the story of Momotarō, eventually naming the Imagin "Momotaros".
Ryotaro confronts Tetsuo's gang, and they reveal to him that Tetsuo is looking for his jingle bell key holder, which Hana had mistakenly picked up when she first was looking for the Rider Pass. Ryotaro returns the key holder to Tetsuo, and inadvertently completes the contract the Bat Imagin made with the boy, allowing the Imagin to travel to the past and alter the course of time. The date is December 24, 2004, the night that Tetsuo's mother died and he was not there by her side. Ryotaro travels to the past as Kamen Rider Den-O Sword Form and destroys the Bat Imagin, but the Imagin goes berserk and became Gigandeath Heaven, a giant monster.
Den-O then uses the DenLiner Gouka and its various weapons to destroy the Gigandeath. After the Gigandeath is destroyed, Ryotaro decides to make a slight change: using the DenLiner to take Tetsuo to be with his mother at her final moments.
