List of returning characters in Kamen Rider Zi-O

As a special anniversary series, Kamen Rider Zi-O features cameos from actors reprising their roles from past Kamen Rider series. While most appear in one or two episodes and movies, the protagonists of Kamen Rider Decade become recurring characters as they are directly involved in Kamen Rider Zi-O's storyline.

Kamen Rider Build edit

Sento Kiryu edit

Sento Kiryu (桐生 戦兎, Kiryū Sento), born Takumi Katsuragi (葛城 巧, Katsuragi Takumi), is a scientist and the titular Rider of Kamen Rider Build (仮面ライダービルド, Kamen Raidā Birudo). Originally from an alternate reality where the alien Evolto divided Japan into three regions, Sento caused his reality to be absorbed into the "prime" Kamen Rider universe after using the Pandora Box to erase Evolto's existence from Earth's history.

Due to the Another Rider Another Build's creation, Sento lost his memories as Kamen Rider Build until Sougo Tokiwa came to seek his help, causing the Build Ride Watch to appear in Sento's pocket and restore his memories. Sento gave it to Sougo before the latter and his ally Geiz travel back to the former's world in 2017 to defeat Another Build's past iteration, establishing a bootstrap paradox in the process.

  • Year 2017: Sento encounters a time-displaced Sougo while he and his ally Ryuga were still in their reality, deducing the boy came from the future. They would encounter Sougo again, this time with Geiz, as the four of them fought Another Build together. During the fight, Sento gradually loses his powers and memories as a Kamen Rider, to the point where he started referring to himself as Takumi. To prevent Sento's past from being permanently altered, Sougo gives him and Ryuga blank Ride Watches so they can connect with him in the future.

During the events of Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever, Sento and Ryuga help Shingo Hisanaga escape from Another W and encounter the Super Time Jacker, Tid before joining forces with Sougo and the other Heisei Kamen Riders to defeat him.

Due to Another Build's creation, Ryuga lost his memories as Cross-Z before Sougo came to seek Sento's help, causing the Cross-Z Ride Watch to appear in Ryuga's pocket and restore his memories. Ryuga gave it to Sougo before the latter and Geiz travel back to Ryuga's world in 2017 to defeat Another Build's past iteration.

  • Year 2017: Ryuga encounters a time-displaced Sougo in 2017 while he and Sento were still in their reality. They would later meet Sougo again, this time with Geiz, as the four of them fought Another Build together.

(檀コーポレーション, Dan Kōporēshon)[2] who was pressured by his perfectionist father until the Time Jacker Heure transforms him into Another OOO (アナザーオーズ, Anazā Ōzu). Within the span of eight years, Kuroto killed his father, established the Dan Foundation (檀ファウンデーション, Dan Faundēshon) mega-corporation, and proceeded to create an independent nation as King Kuroto Dan (檀 黎斗 王, Dan Kuroto Ō). He also kept Eiji Hino and Hina Izumi imprisoned before Sougo freed them by posing as Kuroto's royal guard. While Geiz distracted the present Another OOO, Sougo and Tsukuyomi traveled back in time to defeat the Another Rider's past self.

  • Year 2016: As Another OOO, Kuroto committed patricide to usurp his father's position as the CEO of Dan Corp. before facing Geiz with the Genm Armor. However, since it was not the date of his creation and Geiz unknowingly used the wrong Ride Watch, Geiz was forced to retreat as Kuroto revived from his destruction.
  • Year 2010: In the middle of his writer's block, Heure transforms Kuroto into Another OOO. However, Sougo appeared after the fact and defeated him with the OOO Armor.

As Another OOO, Kuroto has hawk-like wings for flight capabilities, tiger-like claws for slashing enemies, and grasshopper-like legs for increased jumping capabilities. Using Cell Medals, he can create or transform people into Waste Yummies.

As a result of the Time Jackers' actions, Masamune retained his position as the CEO of Dan Corp.[2] However, his obsession for Kuroto to become successful resulted in his death in 2016 after his son usurped him moments before Geiz and Tsukuyomi arrived too late in an attempt to prevent it.

Instead of being reprised by Hiroyuki Takami (貴水 博之, Takami Hiroyuki), Masamune Dan is portrayed by an unidentified stand-in while photos of his original actor appear within Sougo's Time Mazine so he could track the chronology of Kuroto's rise to power.

While Tsukasa was initially capable of harnessing the powers of his predecessors via the DecaDriver, he gained an upgraded version called the Neo DecaDriver (ネオディケイドライバー, Neo Dikeidoraibā), which allows him to harness the powers of his successor Riders, including Zi-O. However, he stored half of his newly acquired powers into the Decade Ride Watch and gave it to Zi-O.

Seeking to change Sougo's destiny of becoming Ohma Zi-O, Tsukasa assumes his previous title as the Destroyer of Worlds to oversee and destroy Sougo's world if he fails in his mission. He first makes himself known while assisting the Time Jackers and Another Ghost by giving Sougo the Decade Ride Watch before sending the youth and Tsukuyomi to the year 2068 so the former can get a glance at his future self. Following this, Tsukasa traveled to April 24, 2009 and posed as the driver of the bus that a young Sougo was riding before Swartz attacked and caused the bus accident Sougo survived. Tsukasa later saved Tsukuyomi from being a casualty and brings her through time to Ohma's Day, where Swartz selected Sougo to become Zi-O before taking her to the year 2058 to help her learn the truth behind her powers.

Following Hiryū Kakogawa becoming Another Zi-O II and causing a time distortion that allowed him to become the tyrannical lord of the present day, Tsukasa helped Sougo recover his allies' memories after they were altered in the distortion while aiding a rebellion against Another Zi-O II. However, Swartz stole the remaining half of Tsukasa's Rider powers to turn himself into Another Decade so he can destroy the Kamen Rider multiverse. Having retained his ability to manipulate dimensional walls however, Tsukasa brought Sougo to Swartz's Another World, where he trapped people in order to summon Dark Riders to fight for him, so he can destroy it and save Swartz's victims. While protecting Sougo and Tsukuyomi from Swartz, Tsukasa regained the Decade Ride Watch to take back the Rider powers he stored in it and save Daiki from the Zi-O II Another Watch's control alongside Sougo.

During the events of the special episode Rider Time: Kamen Rider Decade vs. Zi-O: The Decade House Death Game, Tsukasa arrived at the titular game and reunited with Yusuke Onodera before attempting to lure Sougo to the game. While traveling through various realities, he encountered an alternate universe version of Sougo, who asked him to give the Saber Ride Watch to the "prime" Sougo.

During the events of Rider Time: Kamen Rider Zi-O vs. Decade: Seven Zi-O!, Tsukasa traveled through the Rider multiverse to hunt various alternate reality versions of Sougo. In the process, he gained an upgraded version of his original Complete Form called Complete Form 21 (コンプリートフォーム21, Konpurīto Fōmu Tuenti Wan), which grants him combined usage of all 20 of the Heisei Riders' final form powers as well as Kamen Rider Zero-Two.[10] However, he was defeated by Ohma Zi-O and disappeared, though he gives the "prime" Sougo the Saber Ride Watch. Despite what happened, Woz declares Tsukasa will return.

Also returning from Kamen Rider Decade, Daiki Kaito (海東 大樹, Kaitō Daiki) is a dimension-hopping treasure hunter who becomes Kamen Rider Diend (仮面ライダーディエンド, Kamen Raidā Diendo) after escaping his dictatorial world and obtaining the DienDriver, which allows him to summon holographic duplicates of past Riders. During his travels, Daiki forms a friendly rivalry with Tsukasa as they occasionally join forces against the Dai-Shocker army. Sometime before the events of Kamen Rider Zi-O, Daiki acquired the Neo DienDriver (ネオディエンドライバー, Neo Diendoraibā), which allows him to summon Kamen Riders that succeeded his original era.

Daiki appears in the World of Zi-O to steal the Time Riders' Ride Watches, though Sougo steals them back. He later takes White Woz's Future Note as compensation before being contacted by Ohma Zi-O, who has him use a dimensional wall to contact his past self and Geiz. Daiki later returns during Hiryū's time distortion to acquire the Zi-O II Another Watch and use the Time Jackers to secretly help Sougo regain the Grand Zi-O Ride Watch after they stole it.

Sometime later, Daiki used the Zi-O II Another Watch's power to revive Tsukasa after he was killed by Swartz, but the device corrupts him and possesses his body. When Tsukasa gets his Rider powers back, he uses Zi-O's powers and works with Grand Zi-O to save Daiki from the Another Watch's control; destroying it in the process. Following this, Daiki joins the heroes in foiling Swartz's plot to destroy the Kamen Rider multiverse before leaving with Tsukasa to see how the timeline has changed after Sougo changed his destiny.

In the special Kamen Rider Zi-O Next Time: Geiz Majesty, Daiki helps Geiz in his fight against a new White Woz, who had stolen his powers. After helping Sougo and Tsukuyomi regain their powers, Daiki used his Secondary Rider Cards to temporarily grant Geiz the Geiz Majesty Ride Watch so he can defeat White Woz as Another Diend and regain his own powers.

During the events of Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever, Ryotaro and the DenLiner Police teleport Sougo's party, Another Den-O, and his minions into the KingLiner before the Tarōs take turns possessing their old comrade to defeat their monstrous doppelganger. Although Ryotaro remains possessed by Urataros afterward, Momotaros saw through the deception and assured their human partner that he would always be remembered.

Takeru Satoh (佐藤 健, Satō Takeru) reprises his role as the original adult Ryotaro Nogami.[14][d]

Also returning from Kamen Rider Den-O, the Tarōs (タロウズ, Tarōzu), are a quartet of four benevolent Imagin who formed contracts with Ryotaro Nogami to help him transform into Kamen Rider Den-O and take up residence within the time traveling bullet train, the DenLiner (デンライナー, Denrainā). Following the end of the series, they founded the DenLiner Police (デンライナーポリス, Denrainā Porisu) to keep rogue Imagin in check.

During the events of Heisei Generations Forever, Ryotaro's status as a singularity allow the Tarōs to retain their powers while they saved Sougo's party and defeated Another Den-O. A year later, when the DenLiner becomes stranded in 2019, they crossed paths with Sougo and his friends again while enlisting Sougo's great-uncle Junichirō to help repair the DenLiner. However, a new Another Den-O attempts to steal it in order to prevent his sister's death. In the midst of this, the monster winds up bringing most of the Tarōs and Junichirō along with him. However, Momotaros avoided being kidnapped by possessing Geiz and relinquished his Rider powers so he can give Sougo the Den-O Ride Watch. Using the newly acquired Ride Watch to transform into Grand Zi-O, Sougo used his new powers to summon a past iteration of Momotaros so the present day Tarōs could combine with him to form Kamen Rider Den-O Climax Form and aid Grand Zi-O and Kamen Rider Zeronos in destroying Another Den-O II and a pack of Mole Imagin.

  • Momotaros (モモタロス, Momotarosu) is a hot-headed oni-themed Imagin and the leader of the Tarōs who represents the well-known Den-O Sword Form.

Forming a contract with the Imagin Deneb, Yuto becomes Kamen Rider Zeronos (仮面ライダーゼロノス, Kamen Raidā Zeronosu) and worked with Ryotaro to stop rogue Imagin from altering the timeline.

When Another Den-O II attacked, Yuto attempted to eliminate Sougo and prevent Ohma Zi-O's existence in 2068. In the midst of their conflict, the Time Rider initially mistook him for the current Kamen Rider Hibiki, Kyosuke Kiriya, due to their near-identical appearances. Yuto and Deneb eventually assisted Sougo, Geiz, and Den-O in defeating Another Den-O II.

Yūichi Nakamura (中村 優一, Nakamura Yūichi) reprises his role as Yuto Sakurai, as well as the Oni Rider Kyosuke Kiriya.

Kamen Rider Ryuki edit

Shinji Kido edit

Shinji Kido (城戸 真司, Kido Shinji) is a reporter for the ORE Journal who was given a blank Advent Card Deck and forms a contract with the dragon-like Mirror Monster Dragreder to take part in the bloody Rider War as the titular Rider of Kamen Rider Ryuki (仮面ライダー龍騎, Kamen Raidā Ryūki) in 2002. After focusing on saving lives rather than eliminating the other participant Riders and dying while doing so, the Rider War was averted; allowing Shinji and the other participants to live normal lives again with no memory of the battle.

During the events of Heisei Generations Forever, a past iteration of Kamen Rider Ryuki joined forces with the other Heisei Kamen Riders to combat Tid's forces.

While he had already lost his powers as Ryuki, Shinji developed a fear of mirrors after secretly blaming the readers of ORE Journal for his former workplace's disbandment. This unintentionally causes his evil Mirror World counterpart, Ryuga, to resurface in the real world as an Another Rider version of himself. While Another Ryuga stalked him and killed anyone close to him, Shinji spent the rest of his life as a recluse in his own apartment and seal off all reflective surfaces. In 2019, he attempted to commit suicide, believing it was the only way to prevent the Another Rider from hurting anyone else, but this was foiled when he was found by the Time Riders and hospitalized. After accepting his Mirror World counterpart, Shinji reconciles with his former employer, Okubo.

Following this, during the events of the mini-series Rider Time: Ryuki, Shinji and his mirror counterpart are dragged into a second Rider War, this time set up by the dying Sara. Ryuga tried to take Shinji's body for his own once more, but former ally of Shinji's, Tezuka, regained his memories and successfully warned Shinji and his allies. After becoming the winner of the second Rider War, Shinji regains his memories of the original Rider War and learns from Sara that her boyfriend, Tatsuya, was turned into an Another Rider and coerced into becoming the pawn of Odin, one of Shinji's enemies from the original Rider War. He helps redeem Tatsuya before Sara uses the last of her will to bring Shinji back to the real world, but Odin brainwashes the youth and forces him to attack. Sougo and Geiz arrive in time to defeat the Another Rider and Odin before Shinji entrusts them with the Ryuki and Knight Ride Watches. On behalf of his fallen friend from the original Rider War, Ren, Shinji watches over the former's wife, Eri.

  • Year 2068: Dragreder fell under the thrall of Ohma Zi-O, controlled by the Ryuki Ride Watch, and forced to support him in his dictatorship.

Takamasa Suga (須賀 貴匡, Suga Takamasa) reprises his role as Shinji Kido.[15][16]

Mirror Shinji edit

Originally hailing from an alternate continuity depicted in Kamen Rider Ryuki: Episode Final, "Mirror Shinji" (鏡像の 真司, Kyōzō no Shinji) is an evil Mirror counterpart of Shinji who was created by a lonely Yui Kanzaki in Shinji's image after she met him as a child and was seemingly abandoned by him. As a being from the Mirror World, Mirror Shinji participated in the Rider War as Kamen Rider Ryuga (仮面ライダーリュウガ, Kamen Raidā Ryūga) to survive in the real world indefinitely by taking Shinji's body as his own. However, Yui succumbs to her illness, allowing Shinji to purge his doppelganger and destroy him.

In the original reality, Mirror Shinji was Shinji's literal reflection who represented the darker aspects of his personality, such as his animosity towards ORE Journal's readers. Taking Tsukasa's alternate dimension theory to heart, the Time Jacker Heure manages to summon Mirror Shinji by shattering a mirror one thousand times and transforms him into an Another Rider version of his original Rider form, Another Ryuga (アナザーリュウガ, Anazā Ryūga). With his newly acquired power, Ryuga hunted down ORE Journal readers before he was defeated by Kamen Rider Zi-O II. Following this, Shinji accepted his mirror counterpart as part of himself and regained him.

However, Mirror Shinji refused to accept this and during the events of Rider Time: Ryuki, participated in the second Rider War to get revenge. While manipulating Tezuka into betraying Shibaura, he inadvertently helps the former, Ren, and Shinji regain their memories of the original Rider War before possessing Shinji once more to make him fight his allies. Despite his best efforts, the real Shinji emerged victorious as the mirror twin was suppressed and all of the other Riders were killed; allowing Shinji to return to the real world.

As Another Ryuga, Mirror Shinji gains the ability to enter and survive in the human world indefinitely and is armed with twisted versions of his original Rider weapons. He can also reflect incoming attacks back to their opponents two-fold. As a result of being the original version of his Another Rider form and a Mirror World inhabitant, the Time Riders discovered it was nearly impossible to acquire his corresponding Ride Watch. Despite this, Sougo was able to defeat him as Kamen Rider Zi-O II.

As with the real Shinji Kido, Mirror Shinji is also reprised by Takamasa Suga.

Daisuke Okubo edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Ryuki, Daisuke Okubo (大久保 大介, Ōkubo Daisuke) is the chief editor and one of Shinji's seniors at the ORE Journal until it was shut down due to the rise of social media. Sougo encountered Okubo, who told him about Shinji while the former was investigating the mysterious deaths of ORE Journal readers. After Shinji accepted his mirror counterpart as a part of himself, he reconciles with Okubo as they moved on from their former workplace's disbandment.

Kanji Tsuda (津田 寛治, Tsuda Kanji) reprises his role as Daisuke Okubo.

Ren Akiyama edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Ryuki, Ren Akiyama (秋山 蓮, Akiyama Ren) is a cold loner who fought in the original Rider War as Kamen Rider Knight (仮面ライダーナイト, Kamen Raidā Naito) to save his fiancée, Eri Ogawa, from a coma. Even though he won, its orchestrator, Shiro Kanzaki, reversed the Rider War's events so it never happened and gave the participant Riders peaceful lives. As a result, Ren became a full-time employee at the coffee shop Atori (花鶏) while Eri was revived from her coma.

During the events of Rider Time: Ryuki, Ren married Eri, but was drafted into the second Rider War, which gradually caused his memories of the original Rider War to return. Near the end of the battle, he was forced to fight Shinji, who had become possessed by his Mirror World twin, and was severely wounded while protecting him from Asakura's assault. Once Shinji was freed, Ren asked him to look after Eri before dying.

Satoshi Matsuda (松田 悟志, Matsuda Satoshi) reprises his role as Ren Akiyama.[e]

Miyuki Tezuka edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Ryuki, Miyuki Tezuka (手塚 海之, Tezuka Miyuki) is a fortune teller who fought in the original Rider War as Kamen Rider Raia (仮面ライダーライア, Kamen Raidā Raia) to get revenge on Takeshi Asakura, who had injured his pianist friend, only to be killed while doing so. When the Rider War's events were averted, Tezuka was revived and returned to his original life.

During the events of Rider Time: Ryuki, Tezuka was drafted into the second Rider War and seemingly joined Shinji's team to combat Shibaura's team before he revealed his allegiance with the latter. However, once he regained his memories of the original Rider War and learned of Mirror Shinji's involvement, he was able to warn the real Shinji before he is killed by Shibaura.

Hassei Takano (高野 八誠, Takano Hassei) reprises his role as Miyuki Tezuka.

Jun Shibaura edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Ryuki, Jun Shibaura (芝浦 淳, Shibaura Jun) is an arrogant, manipulative, well-versed computer programmer who fought in the original Rider War as Kamen Rider Gai (仮面ライダーガイ, Kamen Raidā Gai) before he was betrayed and killed by Asakura. When the Rider War's events were averted, Shibaura is revived off-screen.

During the events of Rider Time: Ryuki, Shibaura becomes the leader of his own group consisting of Ishibashi, Totsuka, and Tezuka. Despite not having his memories of the original Rider War, Shibaura retains his manipulative nature as he convinces Tezuka to betray Shinji's team before Tezuka's original memories returned. After Shibaura kills Tezuka, Ryuga possesses Shinji's body and kills him in turn.

Satoshi Ichijo (一條 俊, Ichijō Satoshi) reprises his role as Jun Shibaura.

Takeshi Asakura edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Ryuki, Takeshi Asakura (浅倉 威, Asakura Takeshi) is a foul-tempered and sadistic criminal who fought in the original Rider War as Kamen Rider Ouja (仮面ライダー王蛇, Kamen Raidā Ōja). Unlike the other Riders, who died as a result of the Rider War, Asakura met his end after he was cornered by the police and gunned down. When the Rider War's events were averted, Asakura is revived, but retained his sadism and memories.

During the events of Rider Time: Ryuki, Asakura was drafted into a new Rider War. This time, he shows more contempt while fighting his old foes. Asakura temporarily finds company in the amnesiac Goro while hunting Shinji and Ren, but he kills Goro and makes an attempt on Ren's life before suffering severe injuries in the resulting fight and dying as a result of them.

Takashi Hagino (萩野 崇, Hagino Takashi) reprises his role as Takeshi Asakura.

Kamen Rider Odin edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Ryuki, Kamen Rider Odin (仮面ライダーオーディン, Kamen Raidā Ōdin) is a mysterious entity who participated in the original Rider War on Shiro's behalf by possessing humans. As such, he could not be killed. After Odin and Ren became the last two Riders standing and engaged each other in battle, the former vanished after Shiro's sister Yui died; making Ren the winner by default.

During the events of Rider Time: Kamen Rider Ryuki, Odin returned and possessed an unnamed hooded man to restart the Rider War after convincing Tatsuya he could save Sara; turning him into the Another Rider, Another Ryuki, in order to carry out Shiro's original command to revive Yui. To further his plot, he also gave Tatsuya a soul gem so he can collect his defeated opponents' souls and use them to ostensibly revive Sara. Once his pawn realized he was hurting Sara more than he was helping her, Odin brainwashes him and sends him into a berserker state. However, Zi-O defeated and rescued Tatsuya. In the real world, Odin made himself known and used all three Survive cards to grant himself immortality until Zi-O and Geiz used the Ryuki and Knight Ride Watches to cancel this ability. With one Survive card left, Odin was defeated once and for all.

Tsuyoshi Koyama (小山 剛志, Koyama Tsuyoshi) reprises his voice role as Kamen Rider Odin.

Goro Yura edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Ryuki, Goro Yura (由良 吾郎, Yura Gorō) is the loyal servant of the super-lawyer Shuichi Kitaoka, who fought in the original Rider War as Kamen Rider Zolda (仮面ライダーゾルダ, Kamen Raidā Zoruda). Due to his boss being diagnosed with cancer, Goro took his place in the battle and ended up being killed by Kitaoka's rival, Asakura. When the Rider War was averted, Goro and Kitaoka were revived.

During the events of Rider Time: Ryuki, Goro was drafted into the second Rider War as Kamen Rider Zolda since Kitaoka had passed away by this time. Per his late boss' final wish, Goro at first feigned loyalty to Asakura before eventually attacking him once he got the opportunity. However, he died from injuries sustained during the resulting fight.

Tomohisa Yuge (弓削 智久, Yuge Tomohisa) reprises his role as Goro Yura.

Kamen Rider Agito edit

Shouichi Tsugami edit

Shouichi Tsugami (津上 翔一, Tsugami Shōichi), born Tetsuya Sawaki (沢木 哲也, Sawaki Tetsuya), is a young man who suffered amnesia as a result of the Akatsuki Incident and assumed the name of his brother in-law before being adopted by the Misugi family. After being targeted by the monstrous Lords for possessing an Agito's Seed in 2001, Shouichi became the titular Rider of Kamen Rider Agito (仮面ライダーアギト, Kamen Raidā Agito) to defeat them before going on to open a restaurant named after the fallen Agito's Seed victims.

During the events of Heisei Generations Forever, Shouichi joined forces with the Heisei Kamen Riders to combat Tid's forces.

In 2019, Shouichi was in France for a cooking demonstration before returning to Tokyo to aid SAUL, the G3 army, and the Time Riders in stopping an Another Agito army. However, the Time Jackers planned for this so they could steal Shouichi's powers and strengthen their lead Another Agito. After Tsukuyomi rediscovers her chronokinetic powers and helps Shouichi regain his Rider powers, he helps Zi-O Trinity defeat the lead Another Agito before relinquishing his powers and entrusting his Ride Watch to the Time Riders so he can live a normal life.

Toshiki Kashu (賀集 利樹, Kashū Toshiki) reprises his role as Shouichi Tsugami.[19]

Another Agito edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Agito, Another Agito (アナザーアギト, Anazā Agito) is a flawed version of Kamen Rider Agito and the original Another Rider. In the original timeline, the original Another Agito was Kaoru Kino (木野 薫, Kino Kaoru), a surgeon who also survived the Akatsuki Incident, but became megalomaniacal and killed those who inherited Agito's Seeds before learning the error of his ways. He would later give his life to help Agito and Kamen Rider Gills destroy the Lord, Ericius Liquor.

In 2019, the Time Jackers created a new Another Agito to infect civilians and convert them into a zombie-like army to lure out Shouichi and steal his powers so they can empower their lead Another Agito. However, Tsukuyomi rediscovers her chronokinetic powers and helps Shouichi regain his Rider powers so he can assist Zi-O Trinity in defeating the Another Agito leader and cure its victims.

The lead Another Agito is capable of implanting corrupted Agito's Seeds into people's bodies by biting them, which will transform them into copies of itself, and wields a twisted version of Agito's Shining Caliber (シャイニングカリバー, Shainingu Karibā) naginata. After being strengthened by Shouichi's powers, it gained the ability to create more Another Agitos at a time by firing a purple beam from its chest and gains twisted versions of Agito's Flame Saber (フレイムセイバー, Fureimu Seibā) and Storm Halberd (ストームハルバード, Sutōmu Harubādo). While individual Another Agitos can be changed back, destroying the leader is the only way to do so permanently.

Kamen Rider G3 edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Agito, Kamen Rider G3 (仮面ライダーG3, Kamen Raidā Jī Surī) is a series of powered suits developed by the Squad of Anti-Unidentified Lifeforms (SAUL) branch of Tokyo's Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) in 2001. A weaker mass produced version, Kamen Rider G3 Mild (仮面ライダーG3マイルド, Kamen Raidā Jī Surī Mairudo), was also developed, but was rendered defunct after its first fight.

In 2019, the original G3 suit was mass-produced before an army of operators were deployed to assist Shouichi and the Time Riders in combating the Time Jackers' Another Agito army, with Shouichi himself wearing one such suit while he was depowered.

Takahiro Omuro edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Agito, Takahiro Omuro (尾室 隆弘, Omuro Takahiro) is a member of the SAUL branch of the MPD and the driver for Kamen Rider G3's mobile command RV, G-Mobile. He was also an operator of a G3-Mild suit until it was rendered defunct following its first use. After the Lords were defeated, Omuro went on to lead the G5 Unit squad.

In 2019, Takahiro and his new SAUL team began testing a mass-produced version of the original G3 suit before the Time Jackers and their version of Another Agito attack SAUL to lure the real Agito back to Japan.

Akiyoshi Shibata (柴田 明良, Shibata Akiyoshi) reprises his role as Takahiro Omuro.

Mana Kazaya edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Agito, Mana Kazaya (風谷 真魚, Kazaya Mana) is the daughter of Nobuyuki Kazaya and niece of Yoshihiko Misugi who inherited an Agito's Seed like Shouichi and gained psychic powers.

The suit's A.I. nearly took on a life of its own, but it was destroyed as well.

Swartz used Another World to summon an alternate reality version of Kamen Rider G4 to help him achieve his goals before the latter was destroyed by Kamen Rider Woz.

Kamen Rider Kuuga edit

Kamen Rider Kuuga (仮面ライダークウガ, Kamen Raidā Kūga), aka Yusuke Godai (五代 雄介, Godai Yusuke), is a 24-year-old, multi-talented adventurer.

Riku edit

Riku (リク), aka the original Kamen Rider Kuuga, is an ancient warrior who defended the Linto Tribe, humanity's ancestors, from the Grongi Tribe before he sealed the monsters within his coffin in the Kurougatake ruins until the seal was undone in the year 2000. Riku was killed by the incomplete N-Daguva-Zeba, but the former's belt bonded to Yusuke, who takes the warrior's place as Kuuga to stop the revived Grongi from slaughtering humanity.

During the events of Heisei Generations Forever, Tid invaded the Kurougatake ruins the day before Yusuke became Kuuga and used Riku's remains to create the Kuuga Another Watch. Unbeknownst to the Time Jacker however, Geiz managed to absorb the hero's essence into the Kuuga Ride Watch before the tomb collapsed.

Kamen Rider Kuuga (Manga) edit

The 2014 manga version of Yusuke Godai is a youth who was chosen by Riku's mummified remains to succeed him as Kuuga in the modern era after the Grongi escaped.

During the events of Kamen Rider Zi-O the Movie: Over Quartzer, this version of Kuuga was summoned from a discarded manga as part of the Heisei Kamen Riders' reinforcements against the Quartzers' Kasshine army.[5]

N-Daguva-Zeba edit

Returning from Kamen Rider Kuuga, N-Daguva-Zeba (ン・ダグバ・ゼバ, N Daguba Zeba) is the leader of the Grongi and the "harbinger of ultimate darkness" (究極の闇をもたらす者, Kyūkyoku no Yami o Motarasu Mono).

An alternate reality version of N-Daguva-Zeba was brought to Sougo's world following the Kuuga Ride Watch's destruction. Assisting Another Decade in his plot to destroy the Kamen Rider multiverse, Daguva defeated Grand Zi-O before he was killed by Ohma Zi-O.

Instead of being reprised by Kenji Urai (浦井 健治, Urai Kenji), N-Daguva-Zeba appears in a non-speaking role.

Kamen Rider Blade edit

Kazuma Kenzaki edit

Kazuma Kenzaki (剣崎 一真, Kenzaki Kazuma) is the titular Rider of Kamen Rider Blade (仮面ライダーブレイド, Kamen Raidā Bureido) and an agent of B.O.A.R.D. who specialized in keeping the Undeads sealed in 2004. After he was exposed to Undead cells and Hajime, aka the Joker, became the winner of the Battle Fight, Kazuma was forced to sacrifice his humanity and become another Joker to save the world from mass extinction and exiled himself to avoid another conflict with Hajime.

Through a combination of Another Blade being created in 2019 instead of 2004 and his Undead status, Kazuma was able to retain his Rider powers, which he used to confront Hajime after spending years in hiding, believing he was still using his powers after all of the sacrifices he made for him. When Another Blade absorbed Kazuma and Hajime's Undead cells, the former regained his humanity and the latter became completely human, before Zi-O Trinity defeats the Another Rider and prevents the mass destruction caused by her becoming a Joker. Following this, Kazuma and Hajime entrusted their Ride Watches to the Time Riders.

Takayuki Tsubaki (椿 隆之, Tsubaki Takayuki) reprises his role as Kazuma Kenzaki.

Hajime Aikawa edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Blade, Hajime Aikawa (相川 始, Aikawa Hajime), aka the original Joker (ジョーカー, Jōkā), is the most feared of the Undead as his victory in the Battle Fight would mark the end of all life on Earth. After sealing the Mantis Undead Chalice and the Human Undead to conceal his true nature, Joker took on their personality traits and assumed the identity of "Hajime Aikawa" to make amends with a photographer named Kurihara, who was killed during one of his skirmishes with the recently freed Undead as Kamen Rider Chalice (仮面ライダーカリス, Kamen Raidā Karisu). During his battles, Hajime also befriended Kurihara's daughter, Amane, who helped him accept humanity. After all of the Undead are sealed, Hajime's true identity is revealed and he loses control over his powers before learning Kazuma had turned himself into another Joker to force the current Battle Fight into a stalemate. Knowing they would be forced to fight each other, Kazuma exiled himself so Hajime can live happily with Kurihara's family.

Due to a combination of his status as a Joker and Another Blade being created in 2019 instead of 2004, Hajime retained his powers. However, while attempting to save Amane from Sougo after she was turned into Another Blade, he is attacked by Kazuma, who considered Hajime's actions an apparent betrayal of his trust. When Amane is forcibly turned into Another Blade again, she rendered Hajime completely human by extracting and absorbing his Undead cells. Following Another Blade's defeat, Hajime is able to fulfill his dream of living with humanity after entrusting his Ride Watch to the Time Riders.

Ryoji Morimoto (森本 亮治, Morimoto Ryōji) reprises his role as Hajime Aikawa.

Amane Kurihara edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Blade, Amane Kurihara (栗原 天音, Kurihara Amane), is the daughter of Haruka Kurihara, an ally of Kazuma and Hajime's. Despite being a troublemaker, she is also the inspiration behind Hajime's new way of life and his living alongside humans.

In 2019, Amane becomes a worker at her mother's Jacaranda Cafe. However, White Woz forcibly turns her into the Another Rider, Another Blade (アナザーブレイド, Anazā Bureido). This forces a conflict between Kazuma, Hajime, and the Time Riders over safely turning her back to normal. She was later forced by White Woz to transform into Another Blade again and absorb Kazuma and Hajime's Undead cells, rendering them humans and summoning the Battle Fight's overseer, the Stone of Sealing, to commence a mass-extinction event as the result of her becoming a Joker. However, Zi-O Trinity saves Amane and eradicates the Joker cells, ending the Battle Fight for good.

As Another Blade, she can fire a beam of lightning from her chest and wields a twisted version of Blade's Blay Rouzer (ブレイラウザー, Burei Rauzā) sword.

Hikari Kajiwara (梶原 ひかり, Kajiwara Hikari) reprises her role as Amane Kurihara.

Darkroaches edit

Darkroaches (ダークローチ, Dākurōchi) are cockroach-like Undead grunts that serve as extensions of the Stone of Sealing that manifested once Hajime became the sole remaining Undead in the Battle Fight in 2004. After Kenzaki became another Joker however, the Darkroaches vanished since the Battle Fight was put into a stalemate.

The Darkroaches return in 2019 when Another Blade absorbed Kazuma and Hajime's Joker essence into herself and became a Joker, appearing from the Stone of Sealing in the Joker's form before they were permanently destroyed after Zi-O Trinity defeated Another Blade.

Kamen Rider Hibiki edit

Kamen Rider Hibiki edit

Kamen Rider Hibiki (仮面ライダー響鬼, Kamen Raidā Hibiki), aka Hitoshi Hidaka (日高仁志, Hidaka Hitoshi) or simply Hibiki (ヒビキ), is a seasoned Oni of the Takeshi organization with a strong sense of ethics and believes in constantly training oneself to keep up their strength. At some point between 2006 and 2019, Hidaka retired from being an Oni and passed the mantle of "Hibiki" to his apprentice and successor, Kyosuke.

During the events of Heisei Generations Forever and Over Quartzer, a past version of Hibiki joined forces with the Heisei Kamen Riders to combat Tid and the Quartzers' forces respectively.

Instead of being reprised by Shigeki Hosokawa (細川 茂樹, Hosokawa Shigeki), Kamen Rider Hibiki appears in non-speaking roles in both films.

Kyosuke Kiriya edit

Returning from Kamen Rider Hibiki, Kyosuke Kiriya (桐矢 京介, Kiriya Kyōsuke) was originally a high school student and apprentice to Hitoshi Hidaka in 2005 before becoming a full-fledged Oni a year later.

After Kyosuke graduated from high school, he became the successor of the Hibiki mantle when Hidaka retired, but he retained his first Oni Rider form as he never truly surpassed him. Despite this, Kyosuke took on Sougo's childhood friend, Tsutomu Tsuzumiya, as his disciple. After the Time Jackers turned Tsutomu into Another Hibiki in 2019 however, Kyosuke becomes conflicted over fighting his student. Feeling responsible for never officially taking on the Hibiki mantle, Kyosuke eventually accepts it and activates the Hibiki Ride Watch, which he uses to rescue Tsutomu with help from Zi-O Trinity. After reconciling with his apprentice, Kyosuke entrusts the Ride Watch to Sougo.

Yūichi Nakamura reprises his role as Kyosuke Kiriya, as well as the time traveler Yuto Sakurai.

Todoroki edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Hibiki, Todoroki (トドロキ), aka Tomizo Todayama (戸田山 登巳蔵, Todayama Tomizō), was originally an Oni Rider apprentice to Zanki (ザンキ) prior to his master's death. Instead of becoming the next Zanki however, he chose to make a name for himself as Kamen Rider Todoroki (仮面ライダー轟鬼, Kamen Raidā Todoroki).

In 2019, he came into conflict with Another Hibiki and fights alongside Kyosuke and the Time Riders to stop him. Once he learns the Another Rider was Kyosuke's disciple, he blames his fellow Oni for not taking on the mantle of Hibiki properly and pushing said disciple away. Once Kyosuke accepts his responsibilities and rescues his apprentice with Zi-O Trinity's help, Todoroki makes amends with Kyosuke and leaves peacefully.

Shingo Kawaguchi (川口 真五, Kawaguchi Shingo) reprises his role as Todoroki.

Kamen Rider Kiva edit

Returning from Kamen Rider Kiva, Jiro (次狼, Jirō) is an Arms Monster and the last of the werewolf-like Wolfen race who became one of Kamen Rider Kiva's wards and gained the ability to transform into the Garulu Saber (ガルルセイバー, Garuru Seibā) so Kiva can assume his Garulu Form.

In 2019, Jiro and the Arms Monsters are forced to serve under Another Kiva. However, noticing her pain, he secretly aided Sougo and his allies in saving her from herself. He also privately gave Sougo the Kiva Ride Watch on Wataru's behalf before taking his leave to prevent Another Kiva from controlling him again.

Kenji Matsuda (松田 賢二, Matsuda Kenji) reprises his role as Jiro.

Basshaa and Dogga edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Kiva, Basshaa (バッシャー, Basshā) and Dogga (ドッガ) are Arms Monsters and the last members of the Gill-man-like Merman Race and the Frankenstein's monster-like Franken Race respectively. Like Jiro, they also became Kamen Rider Kiva's wards and gained the ability to transform into the Basshaa Magnum (バッシャーマグナム, Basshā Magunamu) and Dogga Hammer (ドッガハンマー, Dogga Hanmā) respectively so the Rider can assume new forms.

In 2019, the Arms Monsters fell under the thrall of Another Kiva and were forced to support her in combat. However, Jiro was able to break free and seek out Sougo's help in defeating Another Kiva.

Instead of being reprised by Yuuki Ogoe (小越 勇輝, Ogoe Yūki) and Eiji Takigawa (滝川 英治, Takigawa Eiji), Basshaa and Dogga respectively appear in non-speaking roles.

Kamen Rider Rey edit

Returning from Kamen Rider Kiva: King of the Castle in the Demon World, Kamen Rider Rey (仮面ライダーレイ, Kamen Raidā Rei), aka Takato Shiramine (白峰 天斗, Shiramine Takato), was a monster hunter affiliated with the monstrous Legendorga demon race who pretended to aid Wataru in stopping them before revealing his true colors and being defeated by his former colleague turned the present-day Kamen Rider IXA, Keisuke Nago (名護 啓介, Nago Keisuke).

In an alternate reality, Shiramine succeeded in his plans before he was summoned to Another World by Swartz to help him achieve his goals, only to be destroyed by Kamen Rider Geiz.

Instead of being reprised by Shouma Yamamoto (山本 匠馬, Yamamoto Shōma), Kamen Rider Rey appears in a non-speaking role.

Kamen Rider Kabuto edit

Kamen Rider Kabuto edit

Kamen Rider Kabuto (仮面ライダーカブト, Kamen Raidā Kabuto), aka Souji Tendou (天道 総司, Tendō Sōji), is a seemingly arrogant yet compassionate young man who possesses the Kabuto Zecter (カブトゼクター, Kabuto Zekutā), which he acquired from an alternate future version of himself during the events of the film Kamen Rider Kabuto: God Speed Love.

During the events of Heisei Generations Forever and Over Quartzer, a past version of Kamen Rider Kabuto joined forces with the Heisei Kamen Riders to combat Tid and the Quartzers' forces respectively.

Instead of being reprised by Hiro Mizushima (水嶋 ヒロ, Mizushima Hiro), Souji Tendou is portrayed by an unidentified stand-in.

Arata Kagami edit

Returning from Kamen Rider Kabuto, Arata Kagami (加賀美 新, Kagami Arata) is the son of ZECT's original leader Riku. He temporarily became Kamen Rider TheBee after TheBee Zecter abandoned Yaguruma, but he later discarded the Zecter out of guilt and was chosen by the Gatack Zecter to become Kamen Rider Gatack (仮面ライダーガタック, Kamen Raidā Gatakku).

When a string of Worm meteorite crashes occur in 2019, Kagami began to hunt the re-emerging Worms while being opposed by Yaguruma. Receiving assistance from Sougo and his friends, Kagami realizes only he remembers the Worms as both ZECT and the Shibuya incident had been wiped from public knowledge due to time distortions. While helping the Time Riders as Gatack, Kagami is accepted by the Kabuto Zecter and becomes Kamen Rider Kabuto on Tendou's behalf to stop Yaguruma from interfering in the Time Riders' task of destroying the Worms' meteor. Once it is destroyed, the Kabuto Zecter transforms into the Kabuto Ride Watch, which Kagami entrusts to Sougo.

Yuuki Sato (佐藤 祐基, Satō Yūki) reprises his role as Arata Kagami.

Sou Yaguruma edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Kabuto, Sou Yaguruma (矢車 想, Yaguruma Sō) is a former agent of ZECT who operated as Kamen Rider TheBee (仮面ライダーザビー, Kamen Raidā ZaBī) before he was fired, leading him to become Kamen Rider KickHopper (仮面ライダーキックホッパー, Kamen Raidā Kikku Hoppā) and develop a morbid ideology in the process.

In 2019, Yaguruma aligns himself with the Worms and forces Heure to turn him into Another Kabuto (アナザーカブト, Anazā Kabuto) so he can hunt down Zi-O and prevent his interference in the Worms' plan to take over the world, leading the Time Jacker to temporarily align himself with the Time Riders and Kagami to stop the Another Rider. Yaguruma was eventually defeated by Kagami as Kamen Rider Kabuto while Zi-O Trinity destroyed the Worms' meteorite.

Like the ZECT Riders, Another Kabuto can utilize the Clock Up (クロックアップ, Kurokku Appu) ability to move at the speed of light. As he became an Another Rider in 2019 instead of 2006, Yaguruma retains his ability to become KickHopper since his transformation into Another Kabuto did not alter the ZECT Riders' timeline.

Hidenori Tokuyama (徳山 秀典, Tokuyama Hidenori) reprises his role as Sou Yaguruma.

Shun Kageyama edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Kabuto, Shun Kageyama (影山 瞬, Kageyama Shun) was originally Yaguruma's subordinate within ZECT's Shadow troops before he became the new Kamen Rider TheBee and fired Yaguruma, only to be fired himself and develop a nihilistic outlook on life. He would later join his former commanding officer as his partner, Kamen Rider PunchHopper (仮面ライダーパンチホッパー, Kamen Raidā Panchi Hoppā), before inadvertently buying a bracelet that slowly mutate him into a Worm and begged Yaguruma to kill him.

When the Worms return to Earth in 2019, one of them mimics the late Kageyama's form and gains his PunchHopper powers while supporting Yaguruma after he transformed into Another Kabuto. However, the Kageyama Worm later ceased to exist after Zi-O Trinity obliterated the meteor containing his kin.

As with the original Kageyama, this Worm is also portrayed by Masato Uchiyama (内山 眞人, Uchiyama Masato).

Worms edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Kabuto, the Worms (ワーム, Wāmu) are a race of insectoid aliens capable of mimicking a human's appearance and memories to blend in with their society before killing the template to maintain their cover. They previously attempted to invade Earth in 2006, only to be thwarted by the ZECT Riders.

In 2019, the Worms return to Earth through fragments of a giant meteor. One particular member disguised itself as the late Shun Kageyama to win Sou Yaguruma over to their cause. Additionally, due to a space-time disruption, knowledge of the original Shibuya Meteorite incident and ZECT's existence were erased, with only the majority of surviving ZECT Riders like Kagami and especially Yaguruma remembering them. After Kagami becomes Kabuto to defeat Yaguruma, the meteor is destroyed by Zi-O Trinity; with all of the Worms derived from it ceasing to exist.

Kamen Rider Drive edit

Kamen Rider Drive edit

Kamen Rider Drive (仮面ライダードライブ, Kamen Raidā Doraibu), aka Shinnosuke Tomari (泊 進ノ介, Tomari Shinnosuke), is a young man who joined the Metropolitan Police's Special Investigations Division to fight the Roidmudes and solve the mystery behind the death of his father, Eisuke Tomari.

During the events of Heisei Generations Forever and Over Quartzer, Kamen Rider Drive joins forces with the Heisei Kamen Riders to combat Tid and the Quartzers' forces respectively.

Instead of being reprised by Ryoma Takeuchi (竹内 涼真, Takeuchi Ryōma), Kamen Rider Drive appears in non-speaking roles in both films.

Krim Steinbelt edit

Returning from Kamen Rider Drive, Krim Steinbelt (クリム・スタインベルト, Kurimu Sutainberuto) was a scientist who developed the Core Driviars, a technology which used to empower the Drive System. Though he was killed by his traitorous partner, Tenjuro Banno, Steinbelt was able to convert himself into an A.I. and place it in what would become the Drive Driver and eventually became Shinnosuke's partner, who nicknamed him Mr. Belt (ベルトさん, Beruto-san).

During the events of Heisei Generations Forever, Mr. Belt supported Drive as they joined the Heisei Riders in saving civilians from Tid's forces. In Kamen Rider Zi-O the Movie: Over Quartzer, Krim utilized a solid hologram of his original body to ask for Sougo's help in protecting his 16th-century ancestor, Clara Steinbelt, from the Quartzers and ensuring Drive's existence. Once he accomplished their job, Krim handed Sougo his own version of the Drive Ride Watch. After obtaining the power of Ohma Form, Zi-O summoned the Heisei Riders to his aid, including Drive with Krim as the Drive Driver once more.

Chris Peppler (クリス・ペプラー, Kurisu Pepurā) reprises his role as Krim Steinbelt.[20]

Go Shijima edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Drive, Go Shijima (詩島 剛, Shijima Gō) is a freelance photographer and son of Tenjuro Banno who can transform into Kamen Rider Mach (仮面ライダーマッハ, Kamen Raidā Mahha).

In Kamen Rider Zi-O the Movie: Over Quartzer, Go aids Sougo in his trip to the Sengoku period to save Krim's ancestor and to ensure Drive's existence. Although Go lost his powers and memories as a Kamen Rider after he relinquished his Ride Watch, he regained them at the height of Sougo and Geiz's rebellion against the Quartzers.

Yu Inaba (稲葉 友, Inaba Yū) reprises his role as Go Shijima.[20]

Kamen Rider Brain edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Drive, the Brain Roidmude (ブレンロイミュード, Buren Roimyūdo), or Brain (ブレン, Buren) for short, was a Bat-Type Roidmude and one of 108 Roidmude units who became Kamen Rider Brain (仮面ライダーブレン, Kamen Raidā Buren) in the web-exclusive series, Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Brain.

In Kamen Rider Zi-O the Movie: Over Quartzer, Kamen Rider Brain appeared as part of the Heisei Kamen Riders' reinforcements who stood against the Quartzers' Kasshine army.[5]

Instead of being reprised by Shota Matsushima (松島 庄汰, Matsushima Shōta), Kamen Rider Brain appears in a non-speaking role.

Paradox edit

Returning from Kamen Rider Drive: Surprise Future, the Paradox Roidmude (パラドクスロイミュード, Paradokusu Roimyūdo), or Paradox (パラドクス, Paradokusu) for short, was initially the Spider-Type Roidmude 108 and servant of Banno who was sealed away for his unruly behavior. He broke free in 2035, defeated Shinnosuke's future son, Eiji Tomari, and assumed his identity to become Kamen Rider Dark Drive (仮面ライダーダークドライブ, Kamen Raidā Dāku Doraibu) so he could travel back to 2015 and absorb his past self to evolve himself and create a global dystopia before he is destroyed by Shinnosuke.

In an alternate reality, Paradox succeeded in his goal before being summoned to Another World by Swartz in order to become the Another Rider Another Drive (アナザードライブ, Anazā Doraibu). Paradox was tasked with eliminating Heure and Ora, mimicking the latter's appearance to instill confusion amongst them and the Time Riders. After Ora killed Heure to ensure her own survival, the Roidmude is destroyed by Grand Zi-O.

As Another Drive, Paradox can summon the Another Tridoron (アナザートライドロン, Anazā Toraidoron) car, launch a flaming tire projectile, shoot energy beams from a twisted version of Drive's Door-Ju (ドア銃, Doa Jū, Door Gun) mounted on his left arm, and retains his Roidmude abilities of mimicry and production of a Heavy Acceleration (重加速, Jūkasoku) field.

Instead of being reprised by Rikiya Koyama (小山 力也, Koyama Rikiya), Paradox is voiced by Ayaka Konno (紺野 彩夏, Kon'no Ayaka), who also portrays the Roidmude's disguise as Ora.

Chase edit

Also returning from Kamen Rider Drive, Chase (チェイス, Cheisu) is a Roidmude prototype who was originally Krim Steinbelt's assistant Roidmude 000, dubbed Proto Zero (プロトゼロ, Puroto Zero), who copied traffic police officer Koichi Kano's (狩野 洸一, Kano Kōichi) appearance. He served as Steinbelt's partner in combating the rogue Roidmudes as Kamen Rider Proto Drive (仮面ライダープロトドライブ, Kamen Raidā Puroto Doraibu) before he was reprogrammed into the monsters' enforcer Mashin Chaser (魔進チェイサー, Mashin Cheisā). He eventually regained his original memories and joined Steinbelt, Shinnosuke, and Go as Kamen Rider Chaser (仮面ライダーチェイサー, Kamen Raidā Cheisā) to combat the Roidmudes once more before giving his life to defeat Banno.

In an alternate timeline, Chase remained on the Roidmudes' side and defeated Drive before he came to Sougo's world after the Drive Ride Watch was destroyed. He joined Swartz in enacting his plans for destroying the Kamen Rider multiverse and led an army of monsters before he absorbed Geiz's memories of his original timeline self. As a result, Chase switched sides and aided the Time Riders before he was killed by Swartz as Another Decade.

Taiko Katono (上遠野 太洸, Katōno Taikō) reprises his role as Chase.

Kamen Norider edit

Takeshi Kinashi edit

Takeshi Kinashi (木梨 猛, Kinashi Takeshi), aka Kamen Norider (仮面ノリダー, Kamen Noridā), is a parody character based on the original Kamen Rider created by comedy duo Tunnels for a 1980s skit. While they did so without Toei's permission, the latter went on to register Kamen Norider's trademark in 2013.

In Over Quartzer, Takeshi is reimagined as a cyborg who failed to become a Heisei Rider, but dedicated his life to fighting evil regardless. Imprisoned by the Quartzers prior to the events of the movie, Takeshi became Sougo's cellmate and encouraged the boy to continue being a hero after he learned his life was a lie. Although Tsukuyomi and Go freed Sougo after the fact, Takeshi remained imprisoned and watched Zi-O's victory over Kamen Rider Barlckxs from his cell.[5]

Noritake Kinashi (木梨 憲武, Kinashi Noritake) reprises his role as Takeshi Kinashi.

Notes edit

  1. ^ According to episode 6.5 of Kamen Rider Zi-O: Supplementary Plan, Kisaragi's actor was unable to reprise his role as he was busy filming for Bleach. As neither Sota nor Ryusei Sakuta's actor Ryo Yoshizawa were available to return, the showrunners had to merge the Fourze arc with the Kamen Rider 555 arc to compensate.
  2. ^ In episode 13.5 of the Kamen Rider Zi-O: Supplementary Plan, Nishime revealed that Takeru was meant to appear in the early episodes of Kamen Rider Zi-O, but due to scheduling conflicts, his Rider's corresponding Ride Watch debuted first.
  3. ^ While no word on Shotaro Hidari's original actor, Kiriyama's, availability was made public, according to Philip's original actor, Suda, he almost appeared on-screen, but his working schedule was solid booked for another two years at the time.
  4. ^ Satoh's return was suggested by producer Shinichiro Shirakura, as none of the production crew were aware of it. To ensure that Satoh's participation would remain hidden, Shirakura advised the media to only expose the former's presence during the movie's premiere date.
  5. ^ The Rider Time Ryuki sequel was conceived when Matsuda expressed his wish to return in Zi-O on Twitter, which caught the attention of several fans overnight.[17] Geiz's similarity to a younger Ren is acknowledged by the producers Takebe and Shirakura,[18] who referenced this during the special's final part, with Shinji mistaking Geiz for his fallen friend.
