Umm... excuse me.
Can you tell me what you wished for from that monster?
I'm sure he'll come again.
I see...
Then I guess I'll go wait again.
Wait a minute! Excuse me...
Hey.
Hey! Nogami! Hey!
What?
That person wished for a piano.
But for some reason, the contract wasn't completed.
The wish was properly granted. Why?
We have to watch him for now.
Take that! Attack!
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha!
Stop it!
Hey, hey!
Stop it!
I said stop!
Hey, is that really her?
It's definitely Hana!
She's cute, but is she really that beautiful Hana?
What'd Owner say?
He said the time Hana was from...
...might be coming back.
That new line might lead to that time.
There! Gotcha, gotcha!
Damn it. I can't just watch.
Hey, Ryuta! Ryuta! Quit it!
Hey!
Are you really the nosy chick?
No doubt about it. It's the nosy chick.

Episode 34 - The Pianist of Time
Yuuto.
Looks like you don't know the contract holder's wish.
I heard it. I thought the Imagin granted it.
Maybe the wish is for more than just a piano.
If we don't know, we can't predict how the Imagin will act.
Where is he looking?
Yes, come in.
Hello! I'm Sakurai Yuuto. I've come to pay a visit.
Come in.
Mr. Okumura, you have a visitor.
Umm, Mr. Okumura. I'm sorry to bother you while you're resting.
There's something I want to ask you.
Mr. Okumura?
You're not friends?
Yes! We're friends!
Didn't you hear?
Mr. Okumura has been in this condition since his accident three years ago.
Ah... Umm... I'm sorry!
I... didn't know at all!
Umm... It wasn't Yuuto who thoughtlessly brought this stuff!
Idiot!
This is bad...
I've got it.
Excuse me.
We were away from Japan. So all we heard was that he was hospitalized.
I can't believe this is why we can no longer hear his piano.
It's much too tragic.
Yes, of course.
They say he was named a genius pianist from the time he was a child.
Yes, quite unfortunate. Excuse me...
So...
Is that man over there related to him?
Has he ever visited?
Over there. That man.
Don't know... sometimes I see him, but he's never come in here.
I don't think he's related to Mr. Okumura.
Really?
Yes.
W-wait, Urataros!
Hana.
Hey! That's overdoing it!
I'm sorry!
Later.
Excuse me!
That was amazing!
Talking so fluently! Plus, you were so close to that woman!
Denim, my friend, just wait for my catch.
We're going to investigate that contract holder.
Please teach Yuuto that technique!
Deneb!
Don't say such nonsense!
Yuuto!
I give up! I give up!
So...
What approach should I use?
This is a rare treat, Urataros helping with a small job like this.
It's a mission given to me by Hana.
Or perhaps I should say, it was an order?
So first... let's get close.
How?
Well, just watch.
Mastering everything like that is rather admirable.
No use, I suppose.
I thought we'd play together, but...
Seems like that old man doesn't want to connect with the world.
Let's go, Hana.
Let's go to where there are pianos and gather information from ladies.
Hey! Why just girls?!
So? Did you figure anything out?
Yeah... I learned that no one knows anything.
There really is no one who knows that person.
A lot of people remember the piano being played...
But know one knows his name.
That can't be...
It's true. No one knows. No one remembers him.
He's kind of similar to... Sakurai.
I checked.
There are others who have forgotten Sakurai.
That's the result of transforming into Zeronos.
It needs to get its power from somewhere, after all.
I've seen just how important people's memories are.
Even if the past is broken, people's memories will recreate time again.
People's memories are time itself.
Using up those memories in order to transform...
It can't just be nothing to you or to Sakurai.
Ryotaro, it's an Imagin!
Good boy. This time, open the portal to the past.
Transform!
ROD FORM
Won't you let me reel you in?
Cause too much mischief and you'll be punished!
Punishment.
You...!
Damn you!
That man!
It seems like it's finally connected!
This time, the wish was granted rather easily.
Could it be playing the piano here is important?
January 18, 2004.
Do you remember this day?
It's the day I first met that boy.
I was in a world of only me and the piano.
That boy found me.
The piano... can be played in such a way?!
January 18th, 2004
I know you.
When I was a child, at my first concert, you were called the miraculous pianist.
But...
Ten years ago, you suddenly retired.
Why?!
Is that how you're answering me... with your piano playing?
I was thinking of quitting.
I'm called a genius, but I know that I'm not truly a genius.
I was scared and ran away from the concert.
But...
Just playing the piano so purely is amazing...
I will once more.
Can I hear it again?
Once I start reeling in my prey, I don't want to let it go.
Looks like you really do need a punishment!
I'll work hard to be a pro again.
Even if I end up quitting, I don't want to run away halfway through.
Sir!
That's why I'll work hard to be a pro again!
Watch out!
He wanted to let him hear that piano.
That was his wish.
Now...
FULL CHARGE
Shall we have some salted fish?
He's gone berserk! This is bad!
Looks like I overdid it.
They're the ones who must be punished.
Ryotaro. Let's go.
Now, let's finish this.
Scorch them!
That guy?
He disappeared.
Something probably happened in the past.
That's why he disappeared.
But... everyone else came back.
That's because there are people who remember that time.
But like you said, no one remembers that man.
That's why...
...he doesn't return.
The only person who remembers three years ago is in a coma.
Correct. As long as the memory exists, time does not disappear.
However...
Time that is not remembered will not come back.
Every time an Imagin rampages in the past...
...there are those who are forgotten and disappear, like the piano man.
But...
Usually, that leaves no effect.
They just disappear.
No...
Remembering everything is not necessarily a good thing.
Not necessarily...
Then... Sakurai too...
If anything were to happen in the past...
Ryotaro...
What's that supposed to mean?!
Put it more simply, Ryotaro!
I'm sure of one thing.
Today, I let one person get swept out of time.
I wasn't able to protect him.
Your ticket, please.
Okay.
Isn't that... eh?
What's going on?
People who are swept out of time...
...begin to travel, until someone remembers them.
I see.
If Okumura wakes up...
Someday...
That's great, Ryotaro.
Yeah.
I'm still not used to this.
Yeah! It drives me nuts.
This is the nosy chick?
Damn it... she's powered up!
Momotaros!
Kamen Rider Den-O!
I have to do it.
To do that, I have to become stronger.
I became Zeronos to fight.
That is my contract with you and my future self.
