If Hana's original Actress had stayed...

[ShinmeiSuzaku]

...how much do you think the Den-O storyline would've changed from the Final Outcome? Do you believe she was always planned out to be Sakurai and Airi's daughter or a different Character all together?
Since I've only watched Den-O once I think that earlier in the series she had much more Potential. She was from a Different Time Period that was Destroyed and was a Singularity Point just like Ryotaro. We might've gotten her to become a Rider down the line had she stayed.
Thoughts? Opinions? Speculation?

I doubt the daughter revelation would have changed, since nothing in the pre-Kohana eps implied a different path in the plot (such plot as there was). But as for her role on the show, she would probably have stayed as useless as ever, smacking the Taros for the 1,000,000,000 time in a futile attempt at humor.

The 2nd half of Den-o would have been 500 times better.

We may have gotten to see her kick some serious butt.

CLIMAX DEKA WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same with Saraba.

But I love all the Den-o movies anyways. XD


I would have been happier..=D

 

[ShinmeiSuzaku]

I would agree that I would've liked the second half better if she had stayed.
Main reason I watched Den-O when it started was for Naomi and Hana combo. But they brought out the Kohana and I was like...damn..

I would have became a Den-O fan..........since she didn't stay on the show towards the end, I'm not a Den-O fan :loltongue:

If she stayed I would have masturbated alot more during the Den-O run.

That actress falls in the same grouping as MMPR's AJJ and Kuuga's Odagiri. **** THEM ALL.

If it was some reality tv show I'm sure all 3 would have taken in the 15 minutes of usless fame.

Didn't Odagiri get immensely popular from Kuuga?

I still call bullshit on that fatigue! Even though she looks terrifying without make up h34r:

Kuuga > Shinobi.

It's reasonably common, I've been told, for a Japanese person to offer up "fatigue" as a reason for not doing something in order to save face when the actual reason is more embarrassing to some party involved.

So whyever she left, it is like 99% likely to not be fatigue. The actual reason behind it will probably not come out for years, if it ever does.

Rumors of idols who work in tokusatsu disavowing having done so later are common. It was rumored back in the 90's that OhPink's actress refused to put the show on her resume and wouldn't answer questions about it, for instance.

There are confirmed instances of this happening in other Japanese media so I imagine it's not too uncommon for tokusatsu, too. In fact, I'd bet it's why so few of the original actors involved in Heisei Rider came back for Decade-- most of them will be at points in their careers where they want to be taken "more seriously."

I think it would have been better if she had stayed for the entire show.
