This article is about a Rider in Kamen Rider Den-O. |
The "Past Man" (過去の男, Kako no Otoko) is the future counterpart of Yuto Sakurai (桜井 侑斗, Sakurai Yūto) that appeared several times in the past to evade capture from the Imagin.
History[]
He has a Seiko pocket watch with the phrase "The past should give us hope" on the back etched. He wears a trenchcoat and many caps. When Ryotaro bumps into the "Past Man" at one point, he saw that he was the Yuto Sakurai he knew: Airi's fiancé who mysteriously disappeared and is believed to be dead. Ryotaro remembers him as a kind figure who was into astronomy and loved Airi's coffee, and as such, almost considered him family. As he is Yuto's future self, Sakurai has access to the Zeronos arsenal. Eventually, the memory of Sakurai is completely erased from mostly everyone within Ryotaro's time. This happens because Sakurai provided Deneb with the first set of Zeronos Cards Yuto uses at the cost of his future self's existence, with the final Zeronos card presented to Yuto in the final battle completely erasing him from time, although Airi is confident that her love will return to her in time.

Altair Form (アルタイルフォーム, Arutairu Fōmu) is the default form of Zeronos, using the Zeronos Cards to evoke the change. It is named after the star Altair in the constellation Aquila the Eagle. The "mask" is made up of two green bull's head-shaped visors, the same motif as ZeroLiner Drill, which is based on the mythological occupation of Altair as a cowherd. These form from two bull's head-shaped train cars that ride along the tracks on Zeronos' helmet. The rest of the body has a set of converging train tracks that are almost like a zipper. Altair Form has generally balanced abilities comparable to Den-O's Sword Form.
Altair Form is composed of the following parts:[3]
- DenKamen (電仮面, Den Kamen, lit. ‘Electric Mask’): The green overall bull-like mask. It is a mask dedicated to Altair Form.
- Bull's Scan Eye (ブルズスキャンアイ, Buruzu Sukyan Ai): The eyes. It can see in a wide angle within a wide range. It can distinguish human faces up to 5km away and objects as close as 0.05mm. It also has a night vision function, allowing Zeronos to see targets up to 1km away in the dark thanks to infrared irradiation.
- Horn Trader (ホーントレーダー, Hōn Torēdā): The "horns" on top of the Bull's Scan Eye. They catch air vibration waves and convert them into electrical signals, allowing Zeronos to hear wide range of sounds from 40Hz to 100,000Hz ultrasonic waves.
- O Signal (Oシグナル, O Shigunaru): The red sensor on the forehead. Allows Zeronos to detect Imagin within a range of 2km.
- Zero Breast (ゼロブレスト, Zero Buresuto): The chestplate. It is made out of Aura Armor (オーラアーマー, Ōra Āmā), and can alleviate 10 tons of impact.
- Zero Rail (ゼロレール, Zero Rēru): A rail-shaped mold that runs vertically and around the chest and head. It has the same shape as the rails on Zeronos’ head, and is used as a track for whenever the DenKamen moves.
- Aura Skin (オーラスキン, Ōra Sukin): The bodysuit. It can be considered Zeronos' ‘skin’, and an aura covers it. It has excellent defensive capabilities and reduce currents of 500 volts as well as mage caused by diamond-hard cutting edges.
- Zero Gauntlets (ゼロガントレット, Zero Gantoretto): The forearm armor that stretches to the back of the hands. They are a type of Aura Armor that allows Zeronos to withstand shocks from executing special attacks.
- Wrist Bangles (リストバングル, Risuto Banguru): Golden bracelets around the wrists. They enhance the energy dissipation effect of the mind and body, improving the secretion of adrenaline, therefore improving athletic ability.
- Zero Cuisses (ゼロキュイス, Den Kyuisu): The thigh armor. They discolor depending on Zeronos' form. In Altair Form, they take on a green coloration.
- Zero Poleyns (ゼロポレイン, Den Porein): The knee armor. Increases destructive power of knee kicks.
- Zero Greaves (ゼログリーブ, Den Gurību): The shin armor. They are a type of Aura Armor that protects the shins from any attack.
- Ankle Bangles (アンクルバングル, Ankuru Banguru): Golden anklets around the ankles. They have the same effect as the Wrist Bangles.
- Zero Sabotons (ゼロサバトン, Den Sabaton): The feet. They are a type of Aura Armor that protects the insteps.
