4	!!! Trope-related trivia
5	* ActingForTwo: Seiji Takaiwa is the suit actor for Den-O and Momotaros.
6	* ActorAllusion: In ''Ore, Tanjo'', the Cobra Imagin is voiced by Takeshi Hagino. [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Not the first time he has portrayed a character with a cobra theme]].
7	* BonusEpisode: The Hyper Battle DVD, ''[[Recap/KamenRiderDenOSingingDancingGreatTraining Kamen Rider Den-O: Singing, Dancing, Great Training!!]]'' was released with an issue of Magazine/TeleviKunMagazine.
8	* CareerResurrection: A downplayed example as Yuichi Nakamura never got into any scandal or crime, but his role as Yuuto is this for him. Before Den-O, he was casted in ''Series/KamenRiderHibiki'' as the massive [[TheScrappy scrappy]] Kiriya Kyosuke, to the point that people hated Yuuto before he even debuted when they heard that Nakamura would play him. However, Yuuto turned out to be a much better written and more likeable character, enough that people started becoming fond of Nakamura and would be more likely to remember him as Yuuto rather than Kiriya.
9	* CashCowFranchise: ''Den-O'' has been living on well beyond the year-long expectancy of its fellow ''Rider'' series, and doesn't look to be dying anytime soon. Lampshaded in the opening Imagin skit in ''Farewell, Den-O''.
10	-->''"Well, for all the talk of 'Last' and 'Farewell', it's always common practice to make a sequel, isn't it?"''
11	* TheCastShowoff: Takeru Satoh portrays 1 character who's gained a total of 7 different possessed personalities (some of them by force), sings in every version of Double-Action (except Gaoh Form, Coffee Form, Climax Form, and Strike Form), his own solo song, Real-Action, and, thanks to Ryutaros, has an excuse to demonstrate his breakdancing skills.
12	* LoopingLines: For when the Imagin are possessing Ryotaro, Takeru Satoh portrayed Ryotaro on set, then the voice actors re-dubbed their lines during post-production.
13	* TheOtherDarrin: Both Ryotaro and Hana got re-cast throughout the life of the show and its films.
14	** Yuriko Shiratori left the production mid-way due to the stresses of filming, and was replaced by 10-year-old Tamaki Matsumoto. In the story, the alterations to the timeline [[spoiler:made by Kai and the Imagin]] cut off one of the many branches of time and resulted in Hana's age being reduced to that of a child, and she was passed off as Hana's little sister "Kohana" to the {{Muggles}}.
15	** Takeru Satoh ceased reprising his role as Ryotaro after the third movie, as he had begun seriously acting in Japanese movies (seriously, he's shown up in ''Film/RurouniKenshin'', ''Manga/{{BECK\|1999}}'', ''Manga/{{Bakuman}}'', ''Manga/{{Ajin}}'', and ''Manga/{{Inuyashiki}}''). Takuya Mizoguchi, who was the younger Ryotaro nicknamed "Kotaro" in the ''Ore, Tanjou!!'' movie, became the main Ryotaro starting with the ''Kamen Rider Decade'' episodes set in the World of Den-O, using the same reason in-series for Hana's age reduction to explain why his own age was reduced. But whenever Kamen Rider Den-O has to show up in suit, it's usually Toshihiko Seki as Momotaros rather than Mizoguchi as Ryotaro anymore; it took until ''Heisei Generations FOREVER'', ten years after the third movie, for Satoh to return.
16	* PropRecycling: The movie Riders use reworked Den-O suits; taking it a step further, Gaoh's suit was used to create Yuki, which is the reason [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Diend Complete Form]] doesn't have a Den-O representative[[note]]The producers wanted to use Gaoh, but couldn't because they didn't have the suit anymore, so they decided to just leave Den-O unrepresented; presumably, Yuuki, a spring movie rider, was excluded due to said form being themed around summer movie riders, with the only exception (Skull) likely included a), as a replacement for Den-O, and b), Eternal had yet to make his debut[[/note]]
17	** The {{Mooks}} in ''Onigashima Warship'' are Gelnewts from ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki''; in an amusing crossover with RealLifeWritesThePlot, ''Detail of Heroes'' explains that this is entirely because the makers of ''Series/KamenRiderDragonKnight'' ordered Gelnewt costumes in bulk to use as the Mook in ''their'' series.
18	** Speaking of ''Onigashima'', the suits worn by the main villains, Kuchihiko and Mimihiko, are modified versions of the suits worn by [[Film/KamenRiderTheFirst Reboot! Kamen Rider Nigo]] and [[Film/KamenRiderTheNext Reboot! Kamen Rider V3]].
19	** A few of the Imagin were reworked from others; for example, the Owl Imagin from Ryutaros' character focus episodes was turned into the Bluebird Imagin that appears late in the series. More obvious examples include the Leo and Albinoleo Imagin (both of whom are Kai's subordinates) and their Leo Soldiers (reworked from [[Series/KamenRiderKabuto ZECTroopers]]).
20	** The handle of the Denebick Buster (Deneb's cannon form) is a repainted version of the [[Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger D-Knuckle]].
21	* RealLifeWritesThePlot:
22	** Hana's actress quitting has the show replacing her with a child actress, explained as timeline changes having caused her to de-age.
23	** Despite Takeru Satoh being unable to reprise his role as Ryotaro Nogami (at least until ''Series/KamenRiderZiO''), Den-O has made some of the most appearances post-series thanks to Momotaros's [[Creator/ToshihikoSeki voice actor]] being a lot easier to acquire compared to needing a live-action actor.
24	* RomanceOnTheSet: Takeru Satoh (Ryotaro) and Rina Akiyama (Naomi) dated for a while in 2008.
25	* StarMakingRole: Of all the ''Kamen Rider'' main actors, Takeru Satoh is the actor with the most abundant post-''Rider'' career.
26	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Promotional materials for ''The Onigashima Battleship'' showed Ryutaros-possessed [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Ouja]] wielding [[Series/KamenRiderAgito G3-X]]'s GX-05 Cerberus Gatling Gun, presumably loaned to him by an Urataros-possessed G3-X. However, in the movie, R-Ouja only wields the Ryuvolver. One possible reason for this change is that in the movie, Diend ends up summoning G3 instead of G3-X, and plans to have R-Ouja use the GX-05 were scrapped due to G3 not having access to the GX-05, as U-G3 is never seen using any of G3's weaponry. Alternatively, it could be that G3 was the rider that Diend was intended to summon all along, and the GX-05 was included in the promotional material by accident.
27	** As hard as it might be to believe, ''Final Countdown'' '''WAS''' originally intended to be the end of ''Den-O''. However, then along came the Chou Den-O films...and the rest is history. It was the last movie Takeru Satoh was contracted to do for Den-O, hence the reason why Takuya Mizoguchi plays Ryotaro in every one of the Chou Den-O movies and the ''[[Series/KamenRiderDecade World of Den-O]]'', as it would have been too expensive to rehire Satoh by that point.
28	** An early version of Momotaros' design featured metal armor with spikes and bolts on every part of the body save for the head. These were removed from the final design, as they would cause unnecessary wear and tear on the costume and limit the suit actor's movements, particularly the dining car scenes.
29	* YouLookFamiliar:
30	** If Naomi reminds you of someone from another Heisei Kamen Rider Series, it's because her actress, Rina Akiyama, previously played Mana Kazaya from the first Kamen Rider series Yasuko Kobayashi wrote an episode for, ''Series/KamenRiderAgito''. Coincidentally enough, the next role she would play would be in a work by ''Agito'''s writer, Toshiki Inoue[[note]]in case you're curious, said work was a cameo as a police woman in the summer movie for ''Series/KamenRiderKiva''[[/note]].
31	** In ''Climax Deka'', he dead father of Kazuya Suzuki, Kazuma Suzuki, [[Series/KamenRiderBlade had been a Rider a few years back]].
