Kisekae Insights #45: Kamen Rider Zi-O Part 3 - Road to the King

“The last of the Kamen Riders have been gathered as they await the passing down of their legacies. Once all their powers have been inherited, the path to the final chapter awaits. Hark the herald angels sing, rejoice for the one true king!”

Last time, we saw Ohma’s Day being delayed for the time being as Sougo is tasked with obtaining the final six Ridewatches. With all the Riders now in 2019, the Time Jackers would resort to creating Another Riders in that year, meaning that the Legend Riders would be another obstacle in their plans. Also, Kensuke Nitta still remains despite Geiz Revive’s future no longer coming to pass. What are his plans and why did I write this into the plot? Let’s find out now.

Episode 21: Unknown Memory ~ Awaken the Agito 2001 ~

In the original series, we never knew who Another Agito’s identity was. No, it’s not Kino from Decade. In this version, Swartz goes to the Tomb of the Unnamed Lover in the Valley of Dusk (in Salacia) and uses the Agito Anotherwatch to resurrect the slain husband of Mermaid Princess Selena as Another Agito.

G3 is working with the Minato-Sugaru Police to establish a G3 Unit on the island. Meanwhile, Zhuge Sōta, Zhuge Shu’s son, is working with Duante at the Surf Shop Agito, which replaces Restaurant Agito from the original.

In the last episode, we learnt that Kazuto was originally a member of the resistance in 2068 before he was revealed to have been a spy for Ohma Zi-O, giving them false information that would lead to them being slaughtered. Luna was found in 2068 with no memories; not knowing her real name, the resistance decided to name her Luna. In this episode though, Luna unconsciously causes herself to freeze time. Swartz notes that Luna’s power is reawakening and that it is only a matter of time before she remembers the truth.

Episode 22: Sea Amazons ~ Unlock the Quartzer 2016 ~

This is an original episode that follows from the events of the Agito tribute. The Amazon Riders are attacking the city alongside Kamen Rider Woz. This Woz, though, isn’t Kazuto, but Kensuke. Despite having his Rider power stolen from him, Kensuke still had some lingering power left which was used to manifest the Zi-O Trinity Ridewatch earlier. This means that he can still transform into Kamen Rider Woz, he just can’t use the Jikan Despear or his Futurering forms. He is therefore Kamen Rider Proto Woz. To differentiate between Kazuto and Kensuke, Kazuto will tend to use his Futurering forms more often.

Kensuke has established a new organisation called Quartzer, gathering anyone from unaffiliated Riders, monsters or soldiers to establish a new future with himself as the keeper of time. Quartzer in the original series is a group played by ISSA and the members of DA PUMP who are the antagonists of the movie Over Quartzer, a rehash of All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker which I hate because it robs the protagonists of their agency. It’s like the Timeless Child arc of Doctor Who, only not as bad. Because Kensuke was inspired by Sougo to establish Quartzer, everything else that happens with them is kind of his fault. Insert surprised Pikachu face here.

Kensuke’s plan, with the Amazon Riders under his wing, is to flood Swansea by using Tlaloc particles to control the water. Akeno Shiranui (New Omega) and Miss Marla (Neo Alpha) are revealed to be spies for the goddess Salacia. Together with Salacia, Windy Adams and Duante, Zi-O and co stop Quartzer’s plans, however Kensuke has a tablet (similar to that of Luna’s) which he uses to summon simulations of Riders and monsters that move and act like the real thing. In this episode, Kensuke summons the Mole Amazon (second form) and the Crow Amazon along with Dark Kabuto, Orga and Dark Drive.

Sougo asks Luna if she would like to become a Kamen Rider someday, but Luna says that she would rather stay as she is because she always saw being a Kamen Rider as a boys’ thing. Luna is told that it isn’t just a boys’ thing because there are a few girls who are Kamen Riders and Sougo offers to see what he can do.

Episode 23: Entering the Reiwa Era ~ Hit the Beat Keep Your Beat 2005 ~

As the title of this episode implies, we have entered May 2019, when Japan transitioned from the Heisei era to the Reiwa era. The Hibiki tribute is extended from the original and combined with the Magica tribute for a two-parter episode with a mix of original and adapted plotlines.

Aside from Marcela (Hibiki), Marli (Ibuki), Caramelo (Todoroki) and Delfi (Zanki), all the other Oni Riders have joined Quartzer. Takumi Kamijō is shown struggling against the rebel Oni Riders when Marli, Caramelo and Delfi offer their assistance to him. Another Hibiki and Another Magica are respectively Kyōya and Kasumi Shinomiya from another universe, only they have different names. The two Another Riders were respectively created by Heure and Ora.

Sougo has dreams of marrying Akari Ichigo, but he doesn’t know who she is. Later that day, after witnessing Todoroki chasing after Another Hibiki during their fight, Sougo and Geiz are met by Marcela, who offers them the Hibiki Ridewatch if they undergo special training. Because it’s not Sougo’s birthday, Kazuto doesn’t join in the training to find out a way to celebrate because there’s nothing to celebrate here. Sougo and Geiz can’t keep up with Hibiki and she tells them to go lift some weights.

Luna and Kazuto inform Sougo and Geiz of Another Hibiki’s reappearance; the latter two go to help Caramelo fight him while the former two meet with Takumi, Marli and Delfi, who are trying to find Yuki Yamaki (Magica) in the hope of finding out what Quartzer is planning with their friends. Kensuke arrives and he fights Kazuto, only for Ora to send in Another Magica to stop the fight. Meanwhile, Marcela learns from the Disk Animal Akanetaka that Another Hibiki and Another Magica are from another universe.

Later, Sougo and co are confronted by Kensuke, Another Magica and the Oni Riders. Though the Quartzer forces are defeated, Kensuke’s trump card arrives in the form of Yuki Yamaki, who transforms into Magica and defeats Zi-O and the other Riders with a finisher attack…

Episode 24: Shatter the Unchangeable ~ The Bow of Justice 2008 ~

Yuki Yamaki explains to Marcela and Takumi that he sided with Quartzer because time is about to be violated on a level never seen before and that the rise of Ohma Zi-O caused it. Sougo fights Yuki again but he is defeated, with Kensuke telling everyone that they will meet again at the time of Orochi.

Back at 9TO5, Takumi explains to Sougo that he is his son, which comes to Mark’s shock until they explain that Takumi was joking. Marcela explains that Kensuke is planning to manually trigger Orochi by channelling massive amounts of Ongeki power into the Earth and causing hordes of Makamou to roam the earth. Suddenly, the sky turns dark as Another Magica causes witches, familiars, Nightmares, Wraiths and Uwasa (rumours) to be summoned around the city, which is surrounded in an artificial witch barrier created by it.

The Riders head out and deal with the chaos. Zi-O, Geiz and Woz knock Another Magica out of the sky, but Yuki arrives and summons illusions of his Torchwood Pleiades comrades to fight them. Suddenly, the Orochi ceremony is about to begin and the Quartzer forces fall back, taking down the artificial witch barrier in the process.

The Disk Animal Asagiwashi, which Marcela gave to Yuki when they last saw each other, returns to the former; Yuki tells Marcela where Quartzer is conducting their plans, informing her that he has a plan to betray Quartzer at the last minute and that Jaune and Goldina are willing to help him.

Sougo and co head to Afan Forest Park, where the Ace Riders and the summoned Psyga, Skull and Exceed Gills stand in their path. Kensuke confronts Sougo, Geiz and Kazuto as Zi-O Trinity, telling them that the rebel Oni Riders don’t have enough Ongeki power to trigger Orochi and that only the Ongeki power of Hibiki, Ibuki and Todoroki, being the strongest masters of percussion, wind and string Ongeki, have enough power to do so. Sougo wonders whether he should keep fighting Kensuke or stop Hibiki and the others, but Kensuke and the rebel Oni Riders manage to keep him distracted.

Yuki goes to destroy a pillar that Quartzer hammered into the earth that would absorb the Ongeki power and trigger Orochi, but he is backstabbed by Jaune and Goldina just as he does so; Kensuke anticipated his treachery and allowed the two princesses to accompany him so he could see what he would do. Kensuke and the Quartzer Riders decide to retreat, but Another Hibiki and Another Magica still stand in their way. Zi-O Trinity and Hibiki defeat Another Hibiki while Magica and Serranon defeat Another Magica.

However, when the four Riders meet with Marli, Caramelo and Delfi in a clearing, a mutant Bakegani comes up from the ground, having been woken by the Ongeki power. The seven Riders work together to defeat the mutant Bakegani and neutralise Orochi in a special Ongekidou ceremony sequence replicating that of the final battle in Decade episode 19, with Hibiki, Ibuki and Todoroki playing their respective instruments on the Bakegani while Zanki, Zi-O Trinity (percussion), Magica (wind) and Serranon (strings) acting as support on the ground. Sougo, Geiz and Kazuto are also shown beating on taiko drums within the shared space of Zi-O Trinity’s consciousness.

Following this, Sougo reunites Kyōya and Kasumi with their parents, who are a version of Sougo and Akari from another universe. They were the couple he saw getting married in his dream. Marcela and Yuki allow Sougo and Geiz to take their Rider powers, leaving three Watches remaining to be collected.

Episode 25: Hearts Come Together ~ Finally Time 2021 ~

This episode adapts the Kiva tribute plot, but the Kiva tribute is excised so that the episode fully focuses on Kamen Rider Ginga. This is also a crossover episode with the Soulbound series that takes place after the events of that series.

In space, Soulbound protagonists Shinbu Serizawa, Mogoro Kuwabara and Eigen Kasamisoka evade Kamen Rider Ginga’s attacks in the Barrier Base as they try to hold on. Shinbu manages to hit Ginga with a cannon blast that knocks him away, but the Barrier Base has taken too much damage and they land on Minato-Sugaru Island to repair. Harking to the Den-O tribute arc, the three seek the help of Mark to help them repair some parts in the Barrier Base because of course he would know. While doing so, they meet Sougo and co and they tell them all about their adventures in the multiverse. Soon, they are attacked by Kensuke, Topsy the Kangaroo and Melanie Yang who they begin fighting, but they decide to help the civilians when Kensuke’s Kurokage Troopers attack them.

The Riders assist two civilians who resemble Copper Plume (by ImperfectXIII) and Rally Flag; the Barrier Base trio see this and immediately stop them because they are Ginga’s disciples. Sure enough, the two kick the Riders away before they transform into Kamen Riders Wakusei and Taiyou. Sougo, Geiz and Kazuto fight them off, but the two are no match for them. Later, Dark Lugiel, aka Storm Dasher/Hikaru Tomokaze, would arrive in a meteor. Wakusei and Taiyou would combine with Dark Lugiel to become Kamen Rider Ginga. After Shinbu, Mogoro and Eigen fail to fight Lugiel, allowing him to transform into Ginga, Zi-O Trinity fights Ginga but to no avail, forcing everyone to retreat.

Ginga, Wakusei and Taiyou’s backstory is that in some universe, they were weighed down by regrets and left behind by the times because of lost loves, missed opportunities and passed-on possibilities. Dasher merged himself with Dark Lugiel and Copper and Rally sold their souls to him for power, allowing Ginga to become a Rider of raw, unfiltered power that will lead universes to extinction. Ginga’s existence was brought to the attention of the Barrier Base trio and they pursued him to Sougo’s universe.

Sougo’s group, the Barrier Base trio, the Time Jackers and Quartzer form a temporary alliance to deal with Ginga and his disciples. During the battle, Ginga is weakened and separated upon being hit by Zi-O, Geiz and Woz as the sky becomes cloudy. However, when the sun shines again, Ginga is able to combine again and continue fighting at his most powerful. Ginga is eventually defeated and his power harvested into a blank Miridewatch by Swartz which is then taken by Kazuto. Dasher, Copper and Rally manage to escape. Because of Wakusei and Taiyou’s addition into the series, the Ginga Miridewatch contains the power of three Riders and not just one.

Kensuke summons the Kabutick Riders and sets them on the group, but Kazuto transforms into Woz Ginga Finally for the first time to defeat them. Since his proclamation was shortened in the original episode, I’ve taken the effort to make an extended proclamation here:

“Rejoice, one and all, for my power has traversed time and space to become the strongest in the universe. And my name is Kamen Rider Woz Ginga Finally! Bear witness to a new stage of my evolution!”

At the end of the episode, Mark has finished fixing the Barrier Base parts and Shinbu, Mogoro and Eigen farewell everyone as they leave.

Episode 26: Brothers from Hell ~ Next Level Kabuto 2006 ~

This episode is another close adaptation of the original with some alterations. In the original, only PunchHopper was a Worm, but in this version, both of the Hell Brothers are copied by Worms. KickHopper still becomes Another Kabuto as with the original.

Because Hiro Mizushima was blacklisted* from Toei productions by his former agency, Ken-On, for breaking his contract and going on to start his own agency so that he could look after his wife who was sick at the time, Yuki Satou reprised his role as Kagami Arata/Kamen Rider Gatack and would go on to become Kamen Rider Kabuto as well in the Kabuto tribute arc. In this version, Tommy Cooper (Kabuto) is stated as having gone to Brazil to study the teachings of Monja Coen, but when Kyle Bonlin (Gatack) is defeated in the final battle against Another Kabuto and PunchHopper, Tommy returns and Kyle is effectively sidelined due to the original footage.

When Luna uses her time powers to save a mother and her child, she sees visions of her younger self with her family in the supercomputer on Never Land (they are obscured but Fifi’s head is a dead giveaway). Hiroki approaches Luna and takes her into the supercomputer in his universe where they indeed meet the rest of her family, consisting of her mother Fifi Forget-me-not; her older brother Takuhiro; and her father, a younger version of Swartz. The present Swartz discovers this and kicks them out before having Hiroki take Luna back to her time so she can stop the gargantuan meteor.

Mark making sandwiches is the alternative to onigiri in the original. At least we show that Mark is actually making sandwiches and not just calling onigiri “sandwiches”, let alone “jelly donuts”.

And before you ask, we corrected Gatack’s belt voices in this version of the episode. Fuck Shinichirō Shirakura and Kyōhei Yamaguchi.

(* yeah, apparently people, even the man himself, are saying that Hiro Mizushima wasn’t blacklisted, but he’s barely been in anything since 2016 and while it is true that he wasn’t asked to reprise his role in Zi-O, maybe agencies and production companies aren’t going out of their way to look for him because he’s still shadowbanned from the industry and they fear getting blacklisted.)

Episode 27: All Hearts Unleashed ~ Grand Climax 2007 ~

Kamen Rider Shugo is defeated by Nega Shugo, Shugo Nexta and Shugo Special and her Shugo belt is confiscated. However, Zhuge Qiao reveals that she still has the Shugo Ridewatch before she rushes to give it to Sougo. It is revealed that the three are trying to prevent this because they saw into Ohma Zi-O’s future through the Road of Stars.

Sci-Twi is struggling to juggle her work, social life and personal life when Ora transforms her into Another Shugo and tells her to unleash the hearts of everyone on Minato-Sugaru Island. Dasher Arekawa leaves Wallflower Blush’s apartment when Another Shugo unleashes their X-Egg and Mystery Egg, turning them into the Rat Fangire and Mole Imagin. Another Shugo continues to do this with the rest of the people in the city.

As Zi-O Trinity and Shugo attempt to deal with Another Shugo’s forces, the other three Shugos and Kensuke alongside the summoned Fifteen and Bujin Gaim stand in their way. Tsukasa Amakawa is shown to be working for Quartzer, but then Kensuke knows that he is a spy because of all the spies he found in his army previously.

Eventually, Zhuge Qiao is allowed to give the Shugo Ridewatch to Sougo, allowing him to combine the 20 Ridewatches and transform into Grand Zi-O, with the initial transformation being stretched out to fit with the length of the standby announcement. Zhuge Qiao can’t transform into Shugo as a result of this, but she remembers that she only put half of her Rider power into her Ridewatch because she knew her comrades would try to take her belt away from her. Sougo uses his power to recover the Shugo Belt and allow Zhuge Qiao to transform once again. Another Shugo, the Rat Fangires, Mole Imagin and Quartzer Riders are defeated and everything goes back to normal.

This episode featured the Humane Six and Shadowbolts along with Big Mac, the Equestria Girls counterparts of the Wonderbolts and some other OCs not seen before in the series, namely Sierra Nightingale (by NightieTime), this universe’s versions of Copper Plume and Rally Flag, Winter Sky, Paladin Colt (to be changed to Shadow Warp in 3.0) and Skittle (by Skittle_Cuddler, not to be mistaken for a different OC than the one in the description).

At the end of the episode, Sougo disappears as Swartz prepares to make his move with Hiryuu Kakogawa. Sougo ends up in 2068 where he prepares to face off against Ohma Zi-O…

Episode 28: The Reverse Overlord ~ Reset World 2019 ~

Grand Zi-O fights Ohma Zi-O, but Ohma Zi-O is able to hijack the former’s summoning of Drive to defeat him, revealing that he hasn’t actually obtained the Drive Ridewatch yet.

Sougo is sent back to 2019 (two months after his disappearance), where Hiryuu has taken over Minato-Sugaru Island as Another Zi-O II and his friends don’t remember him, with even Kazuto siding with the new demonic overlord. Hiryuu’s motivation for doing this is because he felt humiliated by Sougo’s shallow platitude to let go of the past and live for the present. Hiroki manages to rescue Sougo from Hiryuu before Narutaki infiltrates Hiryuu’s base. Swartz catches Narutaki and gives her some of his power, allowing her to freeze time as well, which she uses to take the Grand Zi-O Ridewatch.

Luna is captured by the Time Jackers and brought to Swartz; in the original, it is revealed that Luna’s counterpart is Swartz’s little sister, but in this version, Swartz confirms that Luna is his daughter.

New OCs featured in the Another Zi-O II arc include Danielita/Dany Melody (by Danielitamlp), Draco (Knight) Blaze, Roxy Vorpal Sword (by Dynasty-Dawn) and Shy Wishes.

Episode 29: The False King ~ Luna Confidential 2019 ~

The first half of this episode concludes the Another Zi-O II arc from the previous episode. Swartz reveals (or rather confirms) to Luna and the other Time Jackers that they are indeed the family from the Never Land supercomputer shown 3 episodes ago; Swartz is the Hiroki avatar, Ora is Fifi Forget-me-not, and Heure is their son Takuhiro, whereas Luna was created after the events of Decade and was actually named Mahina.

In the original, Swartz only took back Ora’s time power whereas in this version, he takes back Heure’s time power as well before going on to take Luna’s reawakened time power as well. He mentions that their time powers were gifted to them by Hiroki Ichigo; hold onto that thought for now.

Swartz erased his family’s memories and changed their appearances in order to evade detection from their enemies. When Luna asks why she didn’t remember the other Time Jackers, Swartz explains that someone made him realise that she would get in the way, so on top of erasing Mahina’s memories and suppressing her time power, he threw her into the Time Vortex and left her to die where she would end up. Mahina ended up in 2068 and would be named Luna by the Resistance.

Narutaki gives the Grand Zi-O Ridewatch to the Time Jackers so they can give it back to Sougo. Kazuto manages to escape with Luna once he has taken her time power. Sougo, Geiz, Kazuto and Hiroki work together to defeat Another Zi-O II and his Another Rider Army. During the battle, Decade’s power is stolen into an Anotherwatch thanks to Gold Drive’s help. Hiryuu is defeated and Narutaki takes the Zi-O II Anotherwatch for herself, Hiryuu being of no use to Swartz anymore. Swartz asks Sougo to choose which of the three paths he will choose; his friends, Hiroki Ichigo, or Ohma Zi-O.

The second half of the episode skips ahead to adapt episode 47. With the world now restored, Sougo and the others try to work out what Swartz is planning when he makes his move, transforming into Another Decade and sending out monsters to attack all over the island.

Hiroki takes Sougo and Luna back to the supercomputer in an effort to find out what Swartz was planning; it is revealed that his ultimate plan is to subjugate humanity and become the king of time himself. When Swartz saved Hiroki’s soul after he destroyed his own body, he ended up absorbing his memories and negative emotions while also obtaining the power to control time. Swartz’s ultimate goal is to take revenge on humanity for how they treat people like Hiroki for being who they are. He intended to do so by going to another universe and making the Sougo of that timeline, aka the other Sougo, become the king of time, then have him liberate Hiroki in the past (before he became Hiroki) and make him become the Sougo we’ve been following throughout this series. Meanwhile, Swartz would covertly assist the main Sougo by creating the Another Riders, then once the main Sougo became the king of time, he would then take his power for himself and rule in place of the two Sougos.

It is then that Sougo poses the possibility of Luna growing up to be stronger than her father, which then leads him to throw Mahina into the Time Vortex and establish the Time Jackers. Sure, the whole show is an idiot plot, but the whole show revolves around time just like Doctor Who. The whole thing’s a satire to myself, Shinichirō Shirakura and the toku fandom. Anyway, Swartz sends a blast at them and Hiroki takes it, killing him in the process. Narutaki uses the Zi-O II Anotherwatch to revive Hiroki, but it transforms her into Another Zi-O II. Hiroki takes the Decade Ridewatch from Sougo and uses it to recover his Rider power, because he placed half of his power into it anticipating that something like this would happen.

Decade and Zi-O work together to defeat Another Zi-O II, but after this, Geiz and Kazuto report that warships have surrounded the island. It is then that the Riders are confronted by Kensuke once again, leading the Teiro Army led by Akari’s cousins…

Episode 30: Reconciling the Truth ~ Full Throttle 2014 ~

In the original Zi-O, there was no real Drive tribute arc as it was split between the Over Quartzer movie and the series finale arc, therefore we never got to see Sougo inheriting Drive’s power. Let’s fix this right now as we adapt the final arcs of Zi-O into this episode.

Daniel is the new Kamen Rider Drive (replacing Shinnosuke Tomari) and David is Another Drive. Three more cousins also appear as Kamen Riders Zerodrive, Protodrive and Overdrive (Super Dead Heat Drive). Together with Mach and Chaser, they cause a time slowdown that affects the whole of the island except for Kazuto as Woz. They then make the slowdown stronger, equivalent to the Time Jackers’ abilities, before defeating Zi-O, Geiz, Woz, Decade and Gold Drive with their Rider Kicks, Kensuke following that up with a Time Explosion. This destroys the Drive Ridewatch and causes the Grand Zi-O Ridewatch to disappear. It is revealed that while Akari’s cousins don’t have any beef with Hiroki, their beef is actually with Sougo for the past. Diend and Kuuga lead some Riders to escape as the chaos continues, the other Riders assisting where they can.

Thanks to this attack, Sougo begins to remember his past before becoming Zi-O. After leaving his secondary school army in July 2012 at the age of 14 to become a ronin, he walked through a portal and ended up in the midst of the Ohma War. As a result, the Sougo we’ve been following is a parallel isotope of Hiroki, having been displaced from his timeline due to Ohma Zi-O and Swartz’s machinations. The Ohma Zi-O in 2068 is the older version of the other Sougo, who is native to this timeline. He was the one whose parents were killed in the bus accident and Swartz purposefully made Hiryuu lash out at the main Sougo. It is possible that Ohma Zi-O fabricated Sougo’s history (as shown on Luna’s tablet in the first episode) to obfuscate the truth of his origins.

On top of this, Geiz and Kazuto aren’t actually from the future; they are parallel isotopes brought to 2068 nearly a year before Sougo was. Geiz was brought into the future thanks to “some woman” while Kazuto was a prisoner of war just as he told Sougo before. Mark finally learns the truth about Sougo and his friends being Kamen Riders (like they weren’t doing a good job of keeping it a secret in the first place) and encourages them to continue using their powers to protect the people.

Sougo decides to face off against Ohma Zi-O again while Geiz, Kazuto, Hiroki and Narutaki deal with Drive and Quartzer. Luna also tells Sougo that she has made her decision to become a Kamen Rider as well. Before Sougo heads for 2068, however, Hiroki warns him that he will need to make a choice as to whether he wants to stay in this timeline or go back to his original timeline with him; if he stays here and becomes king, his original timeline will be destroyed, but if he goes back, he will never be a king or a Kamen Rider until he becomes Hiroki. Sougo says that Swartz gave him a similar choice and that if there was another option that doesn’t involve sacrificing either timeline, he will happily take it.

Geiz, Kazuto, Hiroki and Angela arrive to assist the other Riders as the rest of Quartzer arrives to help Kensuke and the Drive Riders. With the Drive Riders defeated, the Drive Anotherwatch is destroyed while Andrew takes Drive’s power from Daniel to regain the Drive Ridewatch. Despite this, Swartz’s monster army is still attacking the island and to make things worse, Zerodrive, Protodrive and Overdrive don’t care that their other cousins have decided to stop fighting.

In 2068, Sougo has his rematch with Ohma Zi-O and manages to gain the upper hand by using Zi-O Trinity, saving Geiz and Kazuto from being defeated by Another Decade and the three rogue Drives using the Trailer Cannon recklessly. Zi-O Trinity defeats Ohma Zi-O before Sougo sends Geiz and Kazuto back. Sougo confirms that while the Ohma War dream he had was caused by his amnesia, the other dreams he had been having were Ohma Zi-O psychically projecting them to him through time. He learns about Ohma Zi-O’s true power to create and destroy time before asking him to make Luna a Kamen Rider. Instead of having the time loop shit where Sougo meets Geiz and Luna in the midst of a fight against Ohma Zi-O, Ohma Zi-O infuses some of his power into a blank Ridewatch and gives it to Sougo, who quickly heads back.

Luna is still being attacked by the three Drives when Another Decade suddenly defends her for some reason. When Another Decade comes to his senses, Sougo returns with the Ridewatch and together with a Ziku Driver from Kazuto, Luna transforms into Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi for the first time and defeats the rogue Drives alongside Mach and Chaser. After this, Sougo, having regained the Grand Zi-O Ridewatch, challenges Another Decade again. In the original version, this would be where the main Sougo becomes Ohma Zi-O, but instead in this version, his friends are there to help him. Swartz is defeated and his summoned monsters are eradicated, but before he retreats however, he takes back the time power he gave to Narutaki and also takes a portion of her Rider power to create the Gold Drive Anotherwatch.

Elsewhere, Hiryuu is found by Kensuke, who offers him another opportunity to become king by giving him the task of collecting the fifteen Ancient (Showa) Kamen Rider Ridewatches and obtaining a power rivaling that of Ohma Zi-O…

Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi was only introduced in the finale of the original series so all plots and fights involving her are original to this version.

Also, on the Rider Wiki episode pages for the three-part finale, I attempted to create a list of all the monsters that appeared in those episodes, but my changes were undone by the jannies. I understand if they wanted to maintain a consistent format for episode pages, but at the time of writing, they have monster lists for Decade’s premiere episode and the Wizard epilogue two-parter. As such, here is a list of all the monsters that appeared in the adapted arc, including monsters exclusively seen in this version. Fuck Rider Wiki jannies.

Gurongi: N·Daguva·Zeba

Mirror Monsters: Darkwing, Volcancer, Evildiver, Metalgelas, Omegazelle, Biogreeza, Dragblacker, Raydragoons, Hydragoons

Makamou: Bakegani, Amikiri, Ooari, Ubume, Ittanmomen

Dopants: Violence Dopant, Utopia Dopant, Masquerade Dopants

Yummies: Bison Yummy, Kuzu Yummies

Zodiarts: Orion Zodiarts, Sagittarius Zodiarts, Dustards

Phantoms: Argos, Ghouls

Inves: Shika Inves, Lion Inves, Elementary Inves

Roidmudes: Mashin Chaser (original only), Blazer Roidmude (this version only), Plain Roidmudes

Gamma: Katana Gamma, Gamma Commando

Bugsters: Revol Bugster, Gamedeus, Bugster Virus

Faust: Guardian, Kamen Rider Evol

So with this, the entire plot of Kamen Rider Zi-O has been adapted. However, there are ten episodes left, the Time Jackers and Quartzer are still standing, and Sougo is still yet to become Ohma Zi-O. Join us next time when we arrive in the final days of this timeline.
