One of the things I really love about the Den-O designs is the modularity. All of his base forms use the same armor, just with the pieces rotated into different positions with some bits closed up or folded out. It's a nice touch and it works well with the fact that all of his weapons are just different configurations of the Dengasher's pieces. It's a neat trick that not enough Rider shows use.

As for the episode itself... well, it certainly happened. I remember all of these early arcs of Den-O that bring in the new Imagin and all the various victims of the fortnight... except this one. Daiki and his story are both really bland. The main things I remember have nothing to do with him and are more about Urataros lying about his backstory (still a good gag even on my third time through) and the horny head nurse (also a gag that exists). It's not a high point and I like the follow-up arc (and its main guest star) a lot more.
