Category:Another Riders

Another Riders (アナザーライダー) are a group of monstrous Kamen Riders that are based on the past Kamen Riders, affiliated with the Time Jackers.

Overview
Another Riders are created when people from the past make a contract with the Time Jackers in order to receive the power of the past Kamen Rider from their timeline. Once a contract is made, a Blank Watch becomes an Another Watch, which the Time Jacker inserts to the host's body. However, rather than becoming the actual Rider, they instead take on a monstrous aberrations that match the Rider in appearance, with powers only varying in dissimilarity. Once an Another Rider is created, the certain Legend Rider loses all of his powers, his memories of becoming a Kamen Rider, as well as his enemies being erased from existence, drastically changing the history during their respective timelines. The new users have some form of control over their Another Riders' powers, and can transform into their monstrous forms at will.

Another Riders can only be destroyed by either Kamen Rider Zi-O or Geiz using the Armors of the Riders whom the Another Riders were based off of, or by using DecadeArmor, provided Zi-O is augmenting it with the appropriate Ridewatch. Defeating them through other means will only incapacitate the Another Rider momentarily, with the Time Jacker needing to reset the Another Watch and putting it back to the host's body. Afterwards the user continues to become that Rider and they are able to respawn countless times each time they are put down. In between the period where the Another Rider is temporarily defeated, the original Riders' powers and memories also return temporarily, allowing them to interact with Sougo and Geiz properly and give them their respective Ridewatches. After which, the two travel back in time when the Another Rider is created and defeat them permanently through the power of the Rider Armors solely or by DecadeArmor augmentation. The side-effect of this, however, is that once the Another Rider is destroyed, the effects that have taken effect during the altered timeline also become permanent.

History
The first known Another Rider, Another Build, was created in 2017, transforming from a basketball player, originally destined to die, after he was saved by Heure, who provided him with the Another Build Ridewatch.

The second Another Rider, Another Ex-Aid was created in 2016. He was a father who's son was hospitalized for an unknown reason. Offering to save his son, Ora provided him with the Another Ex-Aid Ridewatch.

The third Another Rider, Another Faiz was created in 2003. Sakuma, a student who felt guilty about his girlfriend's death, was offered the Another Faiz Ridewatch by Ora, and used in order to save her. This power, however, eventually waned as it started to weaken in 2011. Made desperate by the fact his power was fading away, he was approached by another Time Jacker, Sworz, and was given the Another Fourze Ridewatch, becoming the fourth Another Rider, Another Fourze.

The fifth Another Rider, Another Wizard was created in 2012 when Hayase, a stage hand on a rundown magic theatre is found by Heure. To save the theatre, Hayase formed contract with the Time Jacker and achieve magical power. At first, Hayase only uses his newfound magic power to perform magic shows that returns the theatre to its former glory, but after knowing that the theatre is going to be closed down anyways, he went berserk and attacks his show companions.

Powers and Abilities

 * Invulnerability: Another Riders are essentially invincible to anything other than their corresponding Kamen Rider or Rider Armor and will re-spawn indefinitely if defeated outside those conditions.

Weaknesses
This weakness can be fixed by having multiple Another Rider' powers in oneself. As long as the first power is not neutralized, that Another Rider would continue to resurrect even when destroyed by the corresponding Rider Armor.
 * Corresponding Rider power: An Another Rider can be harmed and killed by the Kamen Rider they are derived from. Though their presence would soon cause that Kamen Rider to be erased from history, their power can be preserved and replicated through the Ridewatch wielded by either Zi-O or Geiz in the form of a Rider Armor. Once a Another Rider is defeated by the corresponding Rider Armor, they are permanently neutralized as their Another Ridewatch is destroyed. It is unknown if other methods of replicating a Legend Rider's power, like with Decade's Rider Cards, has the same effect.
 * Power Decline: Another Riders' lifespan are rather short, lasting about 7 years.  The only way to prolong their lifespan is to take a new Another Riderwatch, gaining a new Another Rider form from it if said Ridewatch is different. Oddly enough, Another OOO managed to subvert this by maintaining his transformation for 8 years.
