List of Kamen Rider Zi-O characters
It follows the exploits of Sougo Tokiwa, a young man who, according to visitors from the future, is destined to become the king who will enslave the entire world, and embarks in a quest to change his fate, meeting several other Kamen Riders from the Heisei era along the way.
After meeting Tsukuyomi and Geiz, Sougo learns he will become Ohma Zi-O, a tyrant destined to rule the world with an iron fist.
Despite being troubled by this possibility, Sougo chooses to continue following his dream while changing his fate, accepting the power to become Kamen Rider Zi-O and declaring that he will become a benevolent tyrant instead.
Despite Geiz and Tsukuyomi's reservations, Sougo considers them friends and trusts them with his life, asking both of them to kill him should he follow the path to becoming Ohma Zi-O.
Due to his observant nature and keen understanding of human behavior, he became a skilled manipulator capable of outsmarting a genius of Kuroto Dan's caliber.
In 2019, Sougo develops the ability to subconsciously create alternate futures, which he initially assumed were prophetic dreams of Kamen Riders from White Woz's timeline.
Despite succeeding, Black Woz betrays him, taking all of Sougo's Ride Watches (ライドウォッチ, Raido Wotchi) and imprisoning him on behalf of the Quartzers.
Despite this, Sougo is released by Tsukuyomi and Go and receives the Ohma Zi-O Ride Watch to defeat the Quartzers' leader, an adult version of himself from an alternate timeline.
His personal vehicles are the Ride Striker (ライドストライカー, Raido Sutoraikā) motorcycle, which is summoned from the Bike (バイク, Baiku) Ride Watch, and the Time Mazine (タイムマジーン, Taimu Majīn) mecha, which can switch between its aircraft-like Vehicle Mode (ビークルモード, Bīkuru Mōdo) and its exosuit-like Battle Mode (バトルモード, Batoru Mōdo).
Additionally, he possesses other Ride Watches that allow him to assume forms based on his Heisei Kamen Rider predecessors called Rider Armors (ライダーアーマー, Raidā Āmā), which are as follows: If necessary, Sougo can also use Geiz's Ride Watches to assume different Rider Armors, which are as follows: Amidst his journey, Sougo acquires unique Ride Watches that allow him to assume stronger forms, which are as follows: Sougo Tokiwa is portrayed by So Okuno (奥野 壮, Okuno Sō) while Rui Takahashi (高橋 琉晟, Takahashi Rui) and Haru Takagi (高木 波瑠, Takagi Haru) portray him as a child and younger child, respectively.
He later joins forces with Third Woz to obtain the Decade Ride Watch and manipulate the original timeline so that Sougo never meets Geiz and Tsukuyomi and ensure he becomes Ohma Zi-O.
Tsukuyomi (ツクヨミ), real name Alpina (アルピナ, Arupina), is a mysterious 18-year-old girl of nobility from the year 2068 and the younger sister of Time Jacker leader, Swartz.
Amidst Another Zi-O II's attacks, Tsukuyomi is captured by the Time Jackers so Swartz can reveal their original past to her before taking her powers.
After becoming Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi, she gains the ability to generate an energy sword from her hand and perform the Time Jack (タイムジャック, Taimu Jakku) finisher.
The primary timeline version of Woz, also known as Black Woz (黒ウォズ, Kuro Wozu), is a so-called "mysterious prophet" and member of the Quartzers who considers himself a devoted follower of Ohma Zi-O and possesses a book of prophecies called the Ohma Advent Calendar (逢魔降臨暦, Ōma Kōrin Reki), which details the history of his master's rise to power.
He can also change the setting on the Ginga MiRide Watch to assume one of two alternate forms, which are as follows: During the events of the stage show Kamen Rider Zi-O: Final Stage, Black Woz is temporarily turned into the villainous and overzealous Tsukuyomi supporter, Red Woz (赤ウォズ, Aka Wozu), before returning to his senses.
In Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever, Black Woz is able to access Philip's Gaia Library to learn more about Imagin and give Sougo information about them.
In spite of this, he has demonstrated a form of intellect in repairing unique devices, such as Sougo's Ride Watches and Kamen Rider Den-O's DenLiner.
When Swartz initiates his endgame, Sougo returns to 2068 to confront Ohma Zi-O for a final battle, deducing the tyrant never intended to kill him.
The future Sougo reveals that his power to destroy time and space is stronger than Swartz's before sending his younger self back with a blank Ride Watch.
In an alternate timeline depicted in the film Kamen Rider Zi-O the Movie: Over Quartzer, Ohma Zi-O's existence is revealed to be the result of the Quartzers' influence on Sougo's timeline and orchestrated by Sougo's original future counterpart, who intended to erase the Kamen Riders' influence on the Heisei era.
Once he became aware of the Quartzers' plot, Ohma Zi-O supports his younger self in defeating their alternate self by giving him his personal Ride Watch.
After growing older, Swartz commenced a long-term plot by forming the Time Jackers and influencing Sougo's life by installing his dream of becoming king; orchestrating the events that would lead to him becoming Zi-O and create the ideal conditions for fulfilling his ambition.
He can also travel to alternate timelines, something normal Time Mazines are incapable of doing, and bestow a weaker form of his chronokinetic powers unto others, which he can take back at his leisure.
Swartz later acquires the ability to become the monstrous Another Decade (アナザーディケイド, Anazā Dikeido), gaining the ability to manipulate Dimensional Walls like Tsukasa and Daiki Kaito, he can use them to attack or bind enemies as well as spirit people into his personal pocket dimension, Another World (アナザーワールド, Anazā Wārudo), so he can summon alternate reality versions of past Dark Riders to take their place.
Heure (ウール, Ūru) is the youngest member of the Time Jackers, whose childishness conceals his cruelty and arrogance as he manipulates his targets into forming Another Rider contracts by doing something for them to place them in his debt.
After Swartz and Ora use him as a host for the parasitic Another Kikai, Heure becomes wary of his fellow Time Jackers as well as suspicious over his leader's true goals.
Ora (オーラ, Ōra) is a female member of the Time Jackers with a calm, gentle disposition who prefers to use persuasion to form Another Rider contracts by exploiting targets while they are in a state of emotional distress.
After Swartz takes her powers away to enact his own plans, a disillusioned Ora joins Heure to seek out the Time Riders for protection until she learns she is being hunted by the Paradox Roidmude.
His Another Watch, which is docked in a black version of the Ziku-Driver instead of being absorbed into his body, is able to reconstitute itself until Kamen Riders Zi-O and Decade join forces to destroy it.
