Den-O Story Questions [SPOILERS, obviously]

[NeonZ]

They repeatedly state that Hana (and by extension her birthmother) is the "key" to the junction point. If it was just a matter of killing enough Imagin then they wouldn't need to worry about Airi or Hana (aside from the obvious 'we don't want them to die').

I don't think we ever get specifics, but it's basically said that Hana's birth was the diverging point of the Imagin's timeline. If Hana is born, the Imagin's future can't come to pass, although the reasoning behind that is never explained.

But what made Kai a threat in the first place? They never actually *killed* him. He just faded away after they defeated him at the end of the series. Why couldn't he just keep on attacking? Is it because that particular point in time was the point where the future connected to the past and any efforts past then wouldn't have affected the necessary change? That's the explanation as far as I can figure.

Nothing about Kai's abilities is ever explained. However, the impression I got after watching the last episode, was that he died/disappeared due to his creation of the Death Imagin (which seemed to take a lot out of him somehow) and the Death Imagin's destruction. With Kai's death, then it was his future that lost its singularity point and so completely disappeared at that point, alongside all Imagins who weren't bonded to someone else.

No, Kai definitely thought Airi was the key to the junction point and went to lengths to get Yuuto and Ryoutaro out of the way to get at her.

Ah, I had forgotten that bit. Wasn't that because he thought Airi was the singularity point for the future he's trying to destroy? He thought Sakurai's actions had been intended to hide Airi, not protect their child. IIRC they outright tell him he's made a mistake (and that it's Hana) right before the final battle, which is why he then sent one of the Imagin specifically after Hana.

And yet, he couldn't be bothered to kill (Ko)hana when he captured her.... which would've saved him in the end regarding the finale. XD

It's been over two years since I watched Den-O, so this is purely based upon my own, possibly faulty, memories
