Geiz Myokoin

Geiz Myokoin (明光院 ゲイツ) is a member of the Resistance from the dark future of 2068 ruled by Oma Zi-O. He has time traveled with another Resistance member, Tsukuyomi, to the year 2018 to kill Oma Zi-O's present day self.

Using the Ziku-Driver and his personal Geiz Ridewatch, Geiz transforms into Kamen Rider Geiz (仮面ライダーゲイツ). In an alternate future, Geiz became GeizRevive (ゲイツリバイブ) and defeated Oma Zi-O on Oma's Day, according to White Woz, who seeks to expedite the appearance of GeizRevive.

History
Geiz comes from 50 years in the future where he fought as a resistance fighter against the evil tyranny of the demonic king, Oma Zi-O. After Oma Zi-O kills many of the resistance fighters, he decides to travel back in time to kill Oma Zi-O before he can become the king destined to enslave the future, much to Tsukuyomi's ire. Tsukuyomi later discreetly follows Geiz.

Traveling to the Past
Using his personal Time Mazine, Geiz manages to find the possible identity of Oma Zi-O, in the form of Sougo Tokiwa. Geiz spent no time trying to chase the young man. However, he was intervened by the timely arrival of Tsukuyomi, who saved Sougo. Geiz then chases them to both the Prehistoric & Edo era, although he lost track of them after Tsukuyomi's Time Mazine accidentally ejects Sougo to the World of Build in 2017.

Geiz later finds Sougo once again, this time already transformed into Zi-O. After he berates Tsukuyomi for her failure in changing history, he proceeds to ask why did Sougo transform into Zi-O. Sougo replied that it was probably his fate since he was born, in which Geiz was somewhat reminded of Oma Zi-O's declaration of his tyranny. Deeming Sougo as irredeemable, Geiz transforms into Kamen Rider Geiz Ghost Armor, and addresses Sougo as Oma Zi-O before lunging at him.

Zi-O obtaining Build's power
Geiz proceeds to summon four parka ghosts (Ore, Musashi, Edison, and Newton) to attack Zi-O. Geiz then attacks Zi-O relentlessly and proclaim that while Sougo had done nothing wrong in the present, Geiz will kill him for the sake of a brighter future. Geiz then attempts to kill Zi-O using Omega Time Burst, though Tsukuyomi intervened using her Time Mazine. After Tsukuyomi tells Zi-O to run away, Zi-O proceeds to summon his Ride Striker and flee from the scene. Geiz then summons his own Ride Striker to chase Zi-O. However, Geiz lost Zi-O track after a lengthy bike chase. Geiz then cancels his transformation and angrily questions Tsukuyomi for her motive in helping Zi-O. After Tsukuyomi replied that she didn't know either, Geiz orders Tsukuyomi to not interfere with his quest to kill Zi-O.

Geiz and Tsukuyomi later continue their search for Sougo when they notice Another Build appearing once again, even though Zi-O had defeated him before. Another Build then absorbs an nearly athlete into a Fullbottle, and Geiz deduced that the Time Jackers had also appeared in this era. Geiz decides to leave it be and focus on the mission. However, Tsukuyomi stops him as Another Build is about to absorb another athlete. Left without another choice, Geiz proceeds to transform and battle the Another Rider, to no avail.

Just before Another Build could deliver a finishing blow to both Geiz and Tsukuyomi, Zi-O appeared and counter the attack using the Zikan Girade and proceed to ask them if they are okay, much to both Geiz and Tsukuyomi's shock. Tsukuyomi starts to doubt whether Sougo is really Oma Zi-O or not as Zi-O manages to defeat Another Build, while Geiz is also rendered speechless for Sougo's sincere actions. However, Another Build somehow respawned again, to the trio's shock. As Zi-O deduces that only the real Kamen Rider Build could defeat Another Build permanently, he quickly goes to nascita, while Geiz vents his frustration to Another Build, and manages to defeat him. However, the Another Rider respawns once more.

Geiz proceeds to defeat Another Build again, for the Another Rider to respawn yet again. Geiz's transformation is then cancelled due to exhaustion. Just then, Sougo appeared while holding the Build and Cross-Z Ridewatches. Sougo gives the Cross-Z Ridewatch to Geiz and tells him that they must go to 2017 and defeat Another Build permanently using their newly acquired Ridewatches. They then travel back to 2017 using their Time Mazines.

Sougo and Geiz manage to arrive at the very scene in 2017, only to be interrupted by Heure of the Time Jackers. After Sougo and Uhr exchanged their arguments about the Another Rider, Uhr left the scene. The two Riders then transform and join up with Build and Cross-Z to take down Another Build. However, the change of events in the timeline has caused Build's and Cross-Z's powers to disappear, seemingly transferred into the Cross-Z and Build Ridewatches. Woz later appeared and tells Zi-O that using the Build Ridewatch will make Zi-O able to defeat Another Build, but Sento's memories as Build will be gone. Zi-O steels his resolve and transformed into Zi-O BuildArmor. Woz then joyfully remarks this moment. Zi-O Build Armor is now able to damage the monster, with Geiz subduing him with his Zikan Zax in Yumi Mode. Zi-O uses Vortex Time Break to finish the monster with Geiz utilizing the Zax's finisher equipped with the Cross-Z Ridewatch. As a result of their actions, Another Build does disappear for good, but Sento, now christening himself as Takumi Katsuragi, completely forgets about Sougo as the latter gives two blank Ridewatches for Takumi and Ryuga to safekeep. Geiz demands to know what's with the sudden anomalies in the timeline, but Sougo himself is confused about it as well, only exclaiming that Sento and Ryuga will choose to become Kamen Rider Build and Cross-Z in the future.

The next day, both Tsukuyomi and Geiz decide to rent Junichiro's spare room. Tsukuyomi explains that Sougo’s actions make them reaching an agreement to keep an eye on him. Geiz himself says despite Sougo's sincere actions, his vendetta towards him hasn't ceased.

Personality
Not much is known about Geiz, except for the fact that he lost someone close to him during the war against Oma Zi-O, which shaped his vengeful personality. He is incredibly stealthy, as shown when he was able to easily sneak up on Sougo using the Time Mazine, not being noticed until the last minute by Tsukuyomi. Geiz is also incredibly determined to kill Sougo and he is highly paranoid towards the latter, as he is the one believed to be Oma Zi-O's true identity in the future.

Although somewhat baffled with Sougo's kind actions towards him and Tsukuyomi, Geiz discreetly declares that his vendetta isn't fading away. He is stubborn and often wants to resolve problems on his own, but has softened a bit to the idea of Zi-O helping him stop various Another Riders despite their tense relations. Still, this hasn't ceased Geiz's hostility towards Sougo, which worsens when the latter manages to defeat him single-handedly while under the facade of working for Kuroto Dan, with him becoming even more determined to kill Sougo. After the fall of Another Gaim, he directly declares to Sougo that he'll be more than ready to kill him anywhere and anytime, in the event Sougo embarks the path of becoming Oma Zi-O.

Despite his vows to kill Sougo, Geiz is still extremely conflicted due to being unable to see Sougo actually become Oma Zi-O. Because of this, he later on sincerely pleads with Sougo to throw away his Ziku Driver, to prevent Oma Zi-O to rise to power, and so he doesn't have to kill him. After Sougo has Geiz destroy his Ziku Driver, it is Geiz later on that gets him to fight once more, reminding him of the former's vow to become a good demon king. He also changes his vow into promise instead to stop Sougo from going the wrong path and end up becoming the demon king he is terrified of. However with Sougo's acquisition of his Zi-O II powers, Geiz has begun to doubt himself, whenever he was supporting the right person. His doubts are later reaffirmed after hearing Tsukuyomi tell him that she is scared of what Sougo will become, and accepts the GeizRevive Ridewatch from White Woz. His resolve was solidified after he witnessing Tsukuyomi go so far as to shoot Sougo in 2009, resulting in the bus accident that seemingly kills her. With a new resolve, he makes a vow to avenge Tsukuyomi and return to his original mission. After achieving his GeizRevive form, he becomes more arrogant, confident and determined, to the point he is willing to ignore the side effects that using GeizRevive will inflict on him.

Power & Abilities

 * Stealth Proficiency: Geiz is able to discreetly follow a target or arrive where said target will appear without notice.
 * German Language Interpretation: Geiz has knowledge of German language as seen when he read Emu's note of the bug of the Another Ex Aid's gate to come inside the game.
 * Genius-Level Intellect: At the very least, his use of BuildArmor and his finisher, Vortex Time Burst, indicate that Geiz is proficient in equation and scientific formulae.

Weaknesses

 * Power Reflection: Geiz can die if his own powers are reflected against him. This is due to the same Riders' powers destroying its corresponding Ridewatch.
 * GeizRevive Ridewatch: According to Black Woz, Geiz's usage of the GeizRevive Ridewatch puts a strain on his body, since the extraordinary power and speed from Geiz Revive Goretsu and Shippu respectively have gone beyond Geiz's body limit, to the point that he experiences several nosebleeds and even spitting out blood after canceling his transformation.

Forms
Like Zi-O, Geiz transforms by inserting the Geiz Ridewatch into the right-hand side of the Ziku-Driver and rotating the Driver 360 degrees. He accesses Rider Armor (ライダーアーマー) forms based on previous Kamen Riders by inserting Ridewatches into the left-hand side of the Ziku-Driver.

Relationships

 * Sougo Tokiwa/Kamen Rider Zi-O: Geiz strongly believes Sougo is Oma Zi-O and is absolutely determined to kill him before he could become the demon king to prevent the future where Sougo supposedly becomes the tyrant that rules all with an iron fist. He refuses to call Sougo by his real name and cruelly refers to him as Oma Zi-O. At many points in the show, Geiz shows Sougo hostility, but over the course of the story, he begins to realize that Sougo isn't as bad as he once thought. When Sougo finds himself in the future, Geiz even outright begs Sougo to give up the Ziku-Driver to prevent himself from becoming Oma Zi-O, showcasing that his resolve to kill him has lessened greatly, and perhaps even sees him as a friend.
 * Tsukuyomi: Geiz and Tsukuyomi were on the side determined to defeat Oma Zi-O in the year 2068.
 * Black Woz: Geiz and Black Woz were apparently "old friends", and are still acquainted enough to the point that Woz will still try to save Geiz from Swartz.
 * White Woz: White Woz remained a faithful servant of Geiz, whom he refers to as My savior (我が救世主), as Geiz was able to kill Oma Zi-O in an alternate future. Despite that, Woz can attack Geiz without any hesitation, in order to firm Geiz's resolve.

Portrayal
Geiz Myokoin is portrayed by Gaku Oshida (押田 岳). As Kamen Rider Geiz, his suit actor is Yuya Nawata (縄田 雄哉), whose previous suit acting role was that of Kamen Rider Build in the previous series' finale. Geiz is the first Secondary Rider since Zeronos not to have either Eitoku and/or Jun Watanabe as his suit actor.

Etymology
"Geiz" is a German word which means "stinginess" or "miserliness". However, according to Woz, Geiz actually means "King" (王) in their series as a counterpart to "Zi-O". It is a pun on English word "Gates" since in Japanese and Ancient Egyptian culture, and  both having "gate" etymologies: "a gate connects god and human" or "a gate connects humanity and future". The reason why using "Gates" instead of "Gate" is because of Toei staff's superstition. . It is later implied another reason for his name being "Gates" instead of "Gate" is due to the already existing use of the word Gate back in Kamen Rider Wizard.
