We're really in the part of Den-O where some characters start sticking around out of inertia rather than anything else. Kohana was already there, but now we can add Ryotaro to the list.

Hana never felt like a waste to me, though. I like her as the serious boss for the Imagin, so Ryotaro can still be a nice guy. She's the Bad Cop, basically. And she's so good at it!

I could be wrong, but since the Team briefly travels back to early Showa (so early they don't even have trucks), the set is maybe different than the Edo one they always use? The streets are wider, for sure, and the buildings seems a little different? Hard to say.

When they travel back to 1502, I want to say they use the training building from Hibiki for their one physical set. (All the rest of their time is spent on a rocky beach... like pretty much every summer movie does.)
