Those things don't go away even with the flow of time, since the past is the foundation that creates the way for the future. That's why these characters can keep coming back, no matter the plot or the villains they face, since people will always remember them and the connections they made across time.

It's sort of a companion to Hibiki's finale, in the way that it's a creator telling you that it's okay to leave your imaginary/TV friends behind as you grow up, since the memories will stay with you. The Imagin leaving on the DenLiner as Ryotaro watches them go... I mean, Ryotaro is us at that point, right? He's watching his friends leave him, but only for a little while. It's okay for him to be on his own, because he'll keep them in his heart. I think that's a nice way of soothing the bittersweetness of Den-O ending as a show.

But she wasn't even born when her timeline was destroyed by Kai? Like, she was barely an inch long? I'm not sure how her living her life, like, works after that. Even for a show with a cellphone that can raise the dead, Hana being a fetus with no timeline that shows up as a 19-year old woman... I don't understand how that's possible?

It definitely comes across as Oh Did We Not Mention This, which explains why so many viewers forgot it even happened!
