2019: Operation Woz (2019：オペレーション・ウォズ, Nisen-jūkyū: Operēshon Wozu) is the forty-sixth episode of Kamen Rider Zi-O. It is the third and final part of the Kamen Rider movies tribute arc. It features the deaths of Ora, Michal Minato, as well as most of the Another World Riders, including Katsumi Daido and White Woz.
Synopsis[]
Geiz was trapped in the Another World and none other than White Woz has reappeared in his place, surprising Sougo and the others! White Woz starts to set his own unique plan into action, however... Meanwhile, Swartz was able to create "an impossible world" known as Another World, one that in turn possesses the ability to revive Dark Riders! Swartz's plan slowly starts to near its completion, as Michal Minato, the Rider who came from the future, after squeezing out the last bits of courage given to him by OOO, starts to ready himself...

- As part of Zi-O's movie tribute arc, this episode tributes:
- Kamen Rider W Forever: A to Z/The Gaia Memories of Fate (major)
- Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max (major)
- Kamen Rider Agito: Project G4 (minor)
- Kamen Rider Kiva: King of the Castle in the Demon World (minor)

- This is the only time Zi-O's standby music is not played during the Closing Screen. It is done in order to mourn over Michal Minato's death which happened during the final events of the episode.
- This is similar to the 32nd episode of Kamen Rider Drive, where the Closing Screen lacked the trinkets and was colored in greyscale following the deaths of Shinnosuke Tomari and Krim Steinbelt.
- This is the first instance Woz does the introduction in Rider form, albeit briefly in the first few seconds.
- Katsumi's comment "An interesting wind blew. Didn't it?" might be a reference to the events of Kamen Rider W Forever: A to Z/The Gaia Memories of Fate, where Double's evolution into CycloneJokerGoldXtreme (that resulted into Katsumi's defeat) coincided with a strong blow of wind.
- Despite Heure appearing as he usually does in the opening sequence, Rihito Itagaki is no longer credited.
- When Sougo uses the W Armor and fights Katsumi, BGM from Kamen Rider W can be heard.
- This is the not the last time Yuya Nawata is the suit actor for Kamen Rider Geiz since he then started filming for Kamen Rider Zero-One as the titular Rider's suit actor. Kosuke Asai fills in for Nawata's place as Geiz's suit actor in episode 47. Nawata would return as Geiz in the final 2 episodes, beginning with episode 48.
- At the episode's end, Sougo's yelling of Swartz's name after Michal was killed by Swartz is similar to his predecessor Sento Kiryu yelling Evolto's name after Kazumi's death.
- Final TV appearance of Zi-O WArmor and WozGingaTaiyo.
- This is the only episode in which the title is shown on the right side of the screen instead of being on the left side, like all other episodes of this series.
