I think Kin's bravery and commitment have been shown to have negative sides? His tendency to needlessly self-sacrifice instead looking for a better solution, or how his need to offer assistance can lead to him butting in where he's not needed. He means well, more so than the other Imagin (mostly), but he's still something that needs to find the proper balance.

Pretty sure this story says that the fiance knew she was sick before burying the time capsule, so there's really nothing extra Ryotaro could've done in the past to save her.

They're going to the battlefield by possessing Ryotaro either in human form or as one of Den-O's forms.

To date, none of Ryotaro's Imagin have be shown to be able to exist physically in the real world. The second they get knocked out of possessing him, the end up back on the DenLiner. It looks like only Zeronos gets to have a helper on the battlefield!

It really nicely reflects the difference in personality between the two that Vega Form is an option for Zeronos, while also having him arguably be less flexible overall.

Yeah, Vega Form feels different from any of Den-O's forms. When Ryotaro calls on the Imagin, it's because he believes in them. When Yuuto calls on Deneb, it's because he's stopped believing in himself. It shows in the way the two humans communicate with their Imagin when they're teaming up to fight a monster. With Ryotaro, it's guidance and pep-talks. With Yuuto, it's frustration and resentment.
