Either way, meh, the fact that even Ryou's sister added more to this episode than he did is really problematic plus the Imagin's actual plan really didn't make a whole lot of sense. Still, the mystery of the telescope and the horned Imagin keep me wanting more and I still think Sword Form is an awesome Rider.

Also, if the Imagin always go into their hosts pasts, then why do the hosts never remember meeting them? Their actual plan makes no sense because, with any lick of common sense, the person would remember meeting them and never do a contract with them because they've already seen that all the Imagin does is go and trash the place without truly satisfying their wish.

I'm not really sure how this whole thing works so I'm guessing there is a reason they aren't going into the future or whatever but considering the opening of the show is something like 'past, present, future, where next?' I'm assuming it is a possibility. So, what gives?

Den-O plays fast and loose with the theoretical laws of time, but this is not unintentional. They do not, and I stress this fact, do NOT approach time from a scientific angle, instead metaphysical one. Time, as the show will explain (in fact this is a bit of a spoiler since there's entire archs devoted to explaining this in detail) time is always the now, and the past is our memories. You will never see them travel into the future because time is not a predestined path, it is what people observe. The Imagin alter the present by changing people's memories of the past. That's why when Den-O defeats them the damage is undone because, technically, all the past we see is not ''real.'' But it is, because our memories make it real. The Imagin aren't just monsters, they have the ability to change the present by literally destroying all memories of it.

Bear in mind that's the hyper-abridged detailess version. This is all explained way better when the secondary rider shows up, but that'd REALLY be spoiling.
