Emu Hojo/Zi-O

In 2016, Emu Hojo (宝生 永夢) was Kamen Rider Ex-Aid (仮面ライダーエグゼイド), until the creation of Another Ex-Aid erased the Rider's history.

Another Ex-Aid
Emu was missing for an unknown reason in the year 2018 after Another Ex-Aid has been created in the year 2016. Hiro informed Sougo, Geiz, and Tsukuyomi that Emu had gone missing ever since he played a certain game after they told Hiro that the game was related to the patient who got unknown disease. But before Emu went missing, he left a note in German language as he learned the abnormal situation of the game and waited for someone to solve it.

After Geiz noticed the note for and solved it, Sougo and the rests defeated Another Ex-Aid. Emu appeared afterwards and for an unknown reason, he transforms and then attacking Sougo and Geiz instead.

By the time Ora revives Another Ex-Aid, Emu's powers and memories as a Rider were wiped from existence. The present Emu tries to reason with Ida but fails and gives Sougo his Ridewatch once seeing the youth's determination to help the man.

Geiz tries to get into 2016 and warns Emu and Hiro of the Another Rider but falls on deaf's ears. By the time Ex-Aid tries to engage against his doppelganger, his powers gradually disappears until Zi-O arrives and assumed Another Ex-Aid to finish it. With Ida defeated, he introduce the man to the genius surgeon Hiiro, who eventually save Keisuke before his heart disease progresses within the span of 2 years.

Personality

Powers and Abilities

 * Game Proficiency: Emu is highly adept in the field of video gaming, both in creative concept and actual practice. As a kid, he often creates game ideas that even Kuroto Dan, a genius game developer, recognized and envied. As a Kamen Rider, his creative concepts in gaming had lead to the creation of Mighty Brothers XX and Maximum Mighty X Gashats and the Save Energy Item, all arsenals that counters all of his toughest adversaries, specifically Genm, Para-DX, and Cronus. In actual practice, even without the influence of his Bugster, Parado, and the gaming skill of his Genius Gamer M persona, Emu is already a masterful gamer on his own with gaming skills formidable enough to see through the loopholes and weaknesses of every game and figuring out the methods of clearing them. As Genius Gamer M, Emu's skills in gaming and his battle prowesses are greatly enhanced especially when he enters a state of emotional rage or frustration, as shown when he effectively, in separate occasions, outmaneuvered both Genm and Snipe who are both at their Level 3 forms while Emu is only on Level 2. Furthermore, if his Genius Gamer persona is 100% active, his gaming skills skyrocket to a frightening degree evidenced on how despite being only at Level 3 he managed to overpower Gatton Bugster who is a Level 30, stating that one of gaming's thrills is figuring out how to defeat stronger opponents.
 * High Interpersonal Skill: Despite his clumsiness, Emu's kindness has allowed him to connect with all of his patients. This also extends to other Riders, showing how his influence allow them to cooperate properly. It is also worth noting that during their battle against Cronus, the absence of Emu and his inability to transform resulted with their defeat and the confiscation of three Gamer Drivers.
 * Original Bugster Virus: Being a Patient Zero (along with Masamune Dan), Emu was host to the virus for a prolonged period of time. This allowed the virus to fuse with and alter his DNA granting him Rider and possibly even Bugster-like powers and abilities that, by standard, requires external intervention to acquire.
 * Natural Game Disease Immunity: Unlike the other Riders, but later like Masamune, Emu can utilize the Gamer Driver and Rider Gashats without the need of the compatibility surgery. Also, his immunity is absolute, unlike the other Riders' acquired immunity which can still be overwhelmed by a large dose of Bugster virus, as he was unaffected when using the Mighty Brothers XX Gashat for the first time.M is laughing.png
 * Dual Personalities: Due to the Bugster Virus in Emu's DNA, he has two different personalities, which can be separated when using Mighty Brothers XX. This became dormant after Emu reprogrammed Parado, but was reawakened after re-injecting Parado into his body.
 * Parado Respawning: A side effect of this trait, ever since Parado became the Double Action Gamer Level XX R. If Parado's physical existence is terminated while not letting him dissolve into data and absorbing his core, Emu can simply absorb his remnant data to cultivate and respawn him again.
 * Increased Physical Strength: In at least one occasion, the spontaneous activation of Emu's Bugster infection allows him to exert great physical strength without transforming.
