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, provided that the Time Jackers know of the original riders' origins.

Overview
Another Riders are created when an individual comes into contact with an Another Watch, that has absorbed the power of a Kamen Rider, and has it inserted into their bodies. These Another Watches can only be created by a Time Jacker, who can then insert the Ridewatch into either themselves or a host of their choosing. The resulting transformation is a monstrous aberration that match the Rider slightly in appearance, with only varying in dissimilarity. Once the Another Watch is created, the respective Kamen 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 more recent users seem to 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 a Kamen Rider who is using the appropriate RideArmor or Futurering Form of whom the Another Rider was based off on, or by using the DecadeArmor, augmented with the appropriate Ridewatch, or by Zi-O II. Defeating them through other means will only incapacitate the Another Rider momentarily, which during this period of time before the Another Watch is reset and re-inserted into their bodies, the original Riders' powers and memories will return temporarily, allowing them to interact with Sougo and Geiz properly and give them their respective Ridewatches, allowing Zi-O (or Geiz) to travel back in time to when the Another Rider was created and defeat them permanently using the newly acquired Ridewatch. The side-effect of this, however, is that once the Another Rider is destroyed, the changes made during the altered timeline also become permanent. For the Future Riders, this period of time allows Woz to create the appropriate Miridwatch needed to defeat the Another Rider, due to the Future Riders not existing during the present day.

The existence of the original Riders disappear, and are replaced with the Another Rider instead. Once the Another Riders are defeated, the contract holder lose all memory of being one in the first place.

In order for a Kamen Rider to be eligible for Another Rider conversion, the Time Jackers must know of the original Riders' origins in order to go back in time and corrupt their powers. They were unable to create an Another Decade due to them not knowing of Tsukasa Kadoya's origin of being. They were also originally unaware of Mirror World, home to Kamen Rider Ryuga until Tsukasa told them.

Exceptions
Despite the rules mentioned, there have been special cases where Kamen Riders have been allowed to exist simultaneously with their Another Rider counterparts due to certain unique traits that they might possess.


 * Ryotaro Nogami and the Taros are Singularity Points, meaning the creation of Another Den-O and other temporal changes in the past cannot and will not affect them.
 * Due to Kouta Kazuraba's status as a god, the creation of Another Gaim preserves his divine being, but only temporarily. The timeline alteration and God Kouta's erasure from existence become imminent once Another Gaim is defeated.
 * The Mondo Douan that appeared in 2019 alongside Another Quiz was taken from a moment before his powers were corrupted. By this logic, most Kamen Riders may very well be spared if a version of them before their powers were taken was brought to a point where an Another Rider of them exists, though this creates a temporal paradox that erases the fact that their powers were stolen in the first place.
 * Sougo Tokiwa's possession of the Zi-O II Ridewatch allows him to bypass temporal restrictions that would normally prevent him from transforming, such as his death, destruction of Ziku-Driver (or Zi-O Ridewatch), and the creation of Another Zi-O.
 * Rento Makina is able to exist as a Kamen Rider in 2121 despite there being an Another Kikai in 2019, though this is most likely due to Sougo using Zi-O II's powers on him.

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.

The sixth Another Rider, Another OOO was created in 2010, when Kuroto trying to improve his dad is wrong as he think he is immortal with his godlike talent. Heure made a contract with Kuroto Dan to become Another OOO. Using his authority, Kuroto established the Foundation in 2016 after the death of his father, and the Foundation soon grew into a mega corporation within two years. As an Another Rider, he uses cell medals to summon Waste Yummies to subjugate the people. Kuroto holds a press conference and declares that Dan Foundation will rule as a sovereign nation independent from Japan, with all of their properties becoming their own national territory where Japan's own laws become null and void.

The seventh Another Rider, Another Gaim was created in 2013, when Asura was a member of Team Baron whose expelled by Kaito and his peers. While lashing out at his former leader, Sworz freezes the time and transforms Asura into Another Gaim. Using his newfound ability, Asura expels Kaito and those who dare to oppose him into Helheim while taking over Team Baron's leadership.

Powers and Abilities

 * Invulnerability: Another Riders are essentially invincible to anything other than the listed weaknesses below and will re-spawn indefinitely if defeated outside those conditions.

Weaknesses

 * 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 (also if this doesn't seem to apply to future Riders ), 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 Anotherwatch is destroyed.  The same rule is applied to other methods of replicating a Legend Rider's power, like with Decade's Rider Cards.
 * 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. Furthermore, the original Kamen Rider may fail to completely defeat the Another Rider if he isn't serious enough.
 * Power Decline: Another Riders' lifespan are limited and would eventually fade away. Overusing their power would accelerate this proccess, as seen when Another Faiz's power began to fade after 7 years. Their lifespan can be prolonged by taking a new Another Riderwatch, gaining a new Another Rider form from it if said Ridewatch is different.
 * Kamen Rider Zi-O II: Due to Zi-O II having the power to transcend both space and time, his powers are capable of taking out Another Riders without the required Ridewatch needed to defeat them, regardless of where or when the original Rider had originated.
