The air date of the episode was on January 28, 2007. It was written by Yasuko Kobayashi and directed by Ryuta Tasaki.


Plot


It starts of with a never ending bad luck boy named Ryoutarou Nogami somehow getting his bicycle caught up in a tree. It just rained sand that creates Imagins. Some sand has ended up in Ryoutarou's eyes already. A person noticed the young man and called out to him, offering for help. He managed to get him down, and Ryoutarou continues his journey.

Later, a bird used his face and he simply rubbed it away. He later met a gang of people and asked them where's his wallet. They started mugging him, and eventually started to leave. Ryoutarou picked up the DenLiner pass and another junk. He aimed for the garbage can and released the trash, but due to his bad luck, it knocked one of the gang members and so he went to Ryoutarou and punched him.

Ryoutarou stumbled over something, and it was a pass. He took it and went to a store to go towards a counter that returns items to the following people. When he entered, his pass stated 9, 9, 9. He swung the door open and found himself at a deserted island. Suddenly, a train came dashing towards him. It opened, and the stewardess, Naomi handed over coffee to Ryoutarou. Ryoutarou then thanked her and went out. When he turned back, he looked at the store, and it was perfectly normal again.

Meanwhile in the DenLiner, one of the passengers were panicking. Her name was Hana, and she knew somebody had the pass, because it was dropped off. She went out to search for it, and found someone's key chain. She picked it up and kept it in her hand. Ryoutarou sits on his bike and heads off to the next destination. Momotaros spots him. Momotaros is currently in his sand state, so he is thinking of making a contract with Ryoutarou. He sets off.

Meanwhile with Tetsuo, he notices that his key chain was missing, and that was his most prominent part. He asks his team members, but they have no clue. He then asks someone, and they reply that it might be Ryoutarou Nogami. Unfamiliar with that name, he asks for clearer details. On hearing the description, he recognizes it from earlier. He asks his members to find him and retrieve the item.

Suddenly, an Imagin appears in front of him. It was a Bat Imagin, he told him his wish and he sets off to grant it.

Ryoutarou heads to his sister's coffee shop. He entered and sees the place with customers, as usual. He goes toward Airi Nogami, his sister. She gives him salad. Seigi Ozaki and Issei Miura, two customers of her shop, heads to Ryoutarou and dusts the sand off him. After some time, he leaves the shop.

Momotaros perks his head up to talk to Ryoutarou, who is currently cycling his bike. He appears in front of him and says "I can grant you any wish, I just ask for one thing," but Ryoutarou carelessly runs him over.

Hana drives her way to Ryoutarou in the DenLiner, demanding for the pass, but he wouldn't give it up. As he cycles away, she can see sand falling out of him. She then got something in mind.

Suddenly, he fell off his bicycle. The gang members then goes towards him, asking for the key chain back. Ryoutarou admits that he doesn't have it, he just saw it.

They think Ryoutarou's lying, and continuously beats him up. Ryoutarou thinks of his bad luck, and thinks that this is going to be the way he dies. He apologizes to Airi in his head. Suddenly, Momotaros enters Ryoutarou. His hair rises up and he gets a single red streak of hair.

He then explains that he wants to make a contract with Ryoutarou, and he can't watch them kill him like that. He takes a pipe and starts hurting them.

When they're in a paralyzed state, he took a pipe and Ryoutarou tells him to stop. Momotaros explains that he thought of a new killer tactic. He begins to do it, but Ryoutarou stops him from it.

Suddenly, the Bat Imagin came and Momotaros falls out from Ryoutarou. Momotaros tries to fight the Bat Imagin, but due to him being sand he evaporates.

Hana came with the Den-O Driver and gives it to Ryoutarou, asking him to transform into Den-O. He tells him that she's been waiting to find a Singularity Point to protect the future from the evil Imagins. He transforms into Plat Form, and asks her what is it. She tells him to go fight.

Instead of fighting, Ryoutarou just continuously runs away from the monster. Momotaros tells Ryoutarou to summon him, but he doesn't know how. Hana told him to press the red button, and he does as so.

Momotaros then easily took down the Imagin. It bursts into dust and escapes. It wasn't truly defeated...
