So now that you have seen Rod Form:

Turns out that turtle was Otohime, the daughter of the Ryujin(aka ruler of the Ryugujyo or Dragon Palace) in disguise. Taro went down there and spend the next few days with her. However he got homesick and wished to return to the surface world. Allowing him to go back, Otohime presented him with a box that must never be opened. Upon reaching the surface world, to his surprise what seemed like days were centuries later. Saddened that everyone and everything he knew were gone, he opened the box given by Otohime. The box let out a puff of smoke and Taro became old, the end.

Addendum.
Rod Form is based off the sea turtle imagery common in the Urashima Taro story as explained above. The DenGasher in Rod Form is by default a fishing spear type polearm that can also at times double as a fishing rod. And while nothing to do with the lore, visually it shares elements of Kamen Rider G3 and to an extent Kamen Rider Gatack being blue with orange eyes for starters.

Simply put it's basically the same idea as the DenGasher. You will know what I mean after a few more eps.
