Sougo Tokiwa/Previous Timeline

1="You cannot possibly defeat me. Do you know why? Because I was born to be king."

- Oma Zi-O's declaration of his ironfist rule in 2068.

- Oma Zi-O offering his past self a chance to alter his destiny

Sougo Tokiwa (常磐ソウゴ), alternatively spelt Sogo Tokiwa is the future version of his present day self who rules the Earth in 2068 as Oma Zi-O (オーマジオウ), or commonly referred to as the Demon King (魔王) by Tsukuyomi.

History
At present, the circumstances behind Sougo's rise as Oma Zi-O are currently unknown, aside from the fact that in a certain day in the future known as "the day of Oma", he uses seven giant monstrous machines called Dai Mazines to destroy the world and become the "Demon King." Oma Zi-O was the original owner of the Ridewatches of Kamen Riders Drive and Ghost before they were stolen by Geiz.

At the start of the series, Tsukyomi and Geiz, along with the Resistance, are attempting to wage a battle against Sougo, only for him to effortlessly destroy them utterly before declaring that none of them were capable of defeating him because he was born to be king. Sometime after this, Tsukuyomi and Geiz traveled to the past, one intent on changing Sougo's fate of becoming Oma Zi-O and the other attempting to kill him before he can embark on the path.

After young Sougo is sent to 2068, future Sougo uses Dragreder to bring him and Tsukuyomi to his location. After a brief talk, his past self is angered and attempts to kill him, but future Sougo quickly transforms into Oma Zi-O, and easily counters all attacks that young Sougo uses. Oma Zi-O then suggests his past self to throw away his belt if he doesn't want to become him.

Personality
From what little is known about him, Oma Zi-O is shown to be very arrogant due to his tremendous power, proclaiming that he was chosen to be the ruler of the world from birth. He does not even view the resistance fighters as serious threats. His arrogance is not without merit, however, as his battle against his younger self demonstrates impressive mastery over his abilities of his predecessors.

However, he apparently still believes that his tyranny has somehow saved the world. When young Sougo claims that he wishes to become the greatest Demon King, this Sougo replies that he did become the greatest Demon King, not in the sense of kindness, but in the sense of perfection.

Forms
Oma Zi-O

His base form's visor reads "Rider" (ライダー). Compared to his younger self, the future Sougo's skills are far beyond anything seen so far in the series. Additionally, whereas Sougo and Geiz need to insert the Ridewatches of other Riders into the Ziku-Driver in order to utilize their powers, Oma Zi-O needs only to activate the Ridewatches instead.
