History Awesome / KamenRiderDenO

* The Wolf Imagin has been rampaging for the last episode and a bit aimlessly, while Ryotaro and the others sort out problems and such. Ryotaro fought it in Plat Form which, as per standard, was a CurbStompBattle against him, the Imagin managed to dodge Ryutaros's finisher... then, once problems are resolved for all but Momotaros, who's a little pissed off that he was worried for no real reason, they fight the Wolf Imagin. Rod and Ax Form both fight the monster, and trade blows, although they do pretty well, and Kintaros was going to finish it, Ryotaro has them switch to Sword form to give Momotaros a turn. After being knocked around because Momotaros isn't even pretending to fight, Momotaros resolves his problems with Ryotaro... and then proceeds to CurbStompBattle the Wolf Imagin right back, just striking him over and over with sword slashes, not getting hit once, then ending it with a new finisher which segueways into a Funny [[IncrediblyLamePun Momo]]ment.

* Many people talk about the running gag that female Riders tend to die as quickly as they appear with ''very'' few exceptions, though no one talks about how every movie Rider has a tendency to die. ''Granted'', most of them filled the role of villain, but even the heroic or anti-heroic Riders get killed off too (with the possible exception of the Oni in Hibiki... provided you discount "dying of old age" as the cause of death). Enter New Den-O, who ends up surviving the events of his movie and many more movies to follow, marking him as one of the first. That's pretty awesome.

!Series
* The second arc. [[BloodKnight Momotaros]] has teamed up with a dude stealing from a criminal organization - partly for the chance to fight, partly to pay back Ryotaro for the threads he'd bought while possessing him - and when Ryotaro wakes up, he is having ''none'' of it. He forces Momotaros back to the [=DenLiner=], and tells him not to come back unless summoned. Then an [[MonsterOfTheWeek Imagin]] shows up, and Ryotaro in Plat Form gets his ass kicked, naturally. Despite this, [[{{Determinator}} he keeps getting back to his feet and trying]], despite his poor reflexes and sloppy form. Momotaros starts yelling at Ryotaro to let him in and become Sword Form, or else Ryotaro's going to get killed. He doesn't care, because he refuses to work with a thief, and gets Momotaros to not only incorporate some [[ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules standards]], but also to ''apologize''. And then, the two work together to [[CurbStompBattle Curb Stomp]] the MonsterOfTheWeek.
* Episode 18. An imagin has been rampaging for the last episode and a bit aimlessly, while Ryoutaro and the others sort out problems and such. Ryoutaro fought it in Plat Form which, as per standard, was a CurbStompBattle against him, the Imagin managed to dodge Ryuutaros's finisher... then, once problems are resolved for all but Momotaros, who's a little pissed off that he was worried for no real reason, they fight the Imagin. Rod and Axe form both fight the monster, and trade blows, although they do pretty well, and Kintaros was going to finish it, Ryoutaros has them switch to Sword form to give Momotaros a turn. After being knocked around because Momotaros isn't even pretending to fight, Momotaros resolves his problems with Ryoutaro... and then proceeds to CurbStompBattle the Imagin right back, just striking him over and over with sword slashes, not getting hit once, then ending it with a new finisher which segueways into a Funny [[IncrediblyLamePun Momo]]ment.
* In part 2 of Ryutaros' debut, fighting two Gigandeaths by summoning Ikazuchi and then combining all of the [=DenLiner=] cars for battle for the very first time. Even better, Den-O pilots the whole thing from the ''outside'', riding on Ikazuchi's head!
* This series does this ''logistically,'' by having [[TheLancer Yuto/Kamen Rider Zeronos]] kidnap [[TheHero Ryotaro/Kamen Rider Den-O]] three times in episode 25 and 26, and take them all back in time to the Edo period to fight Kamen Rider Gaoh, all without Ryotaro having any memory of the event. But Kamen Rider Gaoh doesn't actually ''start'' his evil plan until episode 27, which leads right into TheMovie, which ends with Ryotaro almost beaten by Gaoh, until Zeronos shows up at the end with the three past versions of Ryotaro, allowing him/them to activate ''all four'' of his armor forms at once. In short, they used time travel to [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong stop the evil plan]] and did so ''[[StableTimeLoop before it happened]].'' One of the best uses of time travel in any series, ever.
* Liner Form's debut. Ryotaro himself takes out two Imagin who formed a drill-like twister with a Denliner shaped attack.

* Urataros and Kintaros' [[spoiler:apparent final]] battles near the end of the series. Even better was that Ura pulled TheMole.
* The entire final battle and RasputinianDeath of the BigBad in the main series. For the uninitiated, it's one hell of a CombinationAttack.

!Movies

** The stunt is repeated in the third movie ''Final Countdown,'' where they do it a second time with even more forms at once.

* In ''Final Countdown'', when the [=DenLiner=] is left stranded in the middle of the sands of time, the Owner's response is to grab a normal old bicycle, put on a pair of jogging shorts, and power the train with his own two feet. And it ''works''. Not to mention that he's even been shown jogging alongside the [=DenLiner=], and keeping up! It's a greenscreen effect of course, but at one point he does that trick where you hold a cane in both hands and jump over it without letting go of the cane. It's not that easy.
** Worth pointing out, the Owner's actor Kenjiro Ishimaru is a regular competitor on ''Series/NinjaWarrior'' and does well despite being in his 50s, adding an awesome subtext onto the character.
