This article is about an episode in Kamen Rider Den-O.

Outlaw Momotaro (アウトロー・モモタロー, Autorō Momotarō) is the third episode of Kamen Rider Den-O. It is also the third episode of the four-part introduction arc of Momotaros/M-Ryotaro, Ryotaro Nogami and Kamen Rider Den-O (Sword Form).

Synopsis[]

Momotaros decides to use Ryotaro's body without his permission, leading to him to become the bodyguard of a minor criminal in need of cash.

Plot[]

In a twist of bad luck, Ryotaro is knocked out by the actions of a man named Yu Yamagoshi who is being chased by Yakuza to whom he owes money. Momotaros takes control of the unconscious boy's body, and impresses Yamagoshi with his power. Thanks to Momotaros, Ryotaro ends up being pursued by the police only to be saved by Hana. Yamagoshi, after escaping himself, comes across the Chameleon Imagin and makes a wish for an amount of money "to die for."

Momotaros is then ordered by Hana not to use Ryotaro's body as the Imagin wishes, even though he and Yamagoshi plan to assault the Yakuza, again, in order to get more money from them. Before Momotaros can assist Yamagoshi, Hana arrives to knock some sense into the Imagin, and the Chameleon Imagin appeared. Den-O Sword Form fights with the Imagin, who flees.

Before Momotaros can do anything else, Ryotaro wakes up, kicks Momotaros back onto the DenLiner, and finds himself surrounded by Yamagoshi and the Yakuza.
