Icon-zi-oThis article is about a group of monstrous Kamen Riders in Kamen Rider Zi-O.

Another Riders (アナザーライダー, Anazā Raidā) are a group of monstrous Kamen Riders whose powers are derived from their original counterparts.

Overview

Creation

Another Riders are created when an individual comes into contact with an Anotherwatch, that has absorbed the power of a Kamen Rider, and has the watch inserted into their bodies. These Anotherwatches 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 slightly matches the Rider in appearance, though only varying in dissimilarity. More recent users, however, seem to have some form of control over their Another Rider powers and can transform into their monster forms at will.

Initially, once the Anotherwatch was created, the respective Kamen Rider lost all of his powers, the memories of becoming a Rider, as well as his enemies being erased from existence, drastically changing the history of their respective timelines. However, the Rider can regain their memories (and to some extent, their powers) if the Another Rider was defeated by not using their respective Ridewatches. Due to a fracture in the space-time continuum, this rule was eventually nullified. [2006: Next Level Kabuto]

Another Riders have their creation year on their bodies along with their names. However, that number can be interfered if the host is a former Rider from an entirely different era, than the Rider the Another Rider is based off of. For example, Kuroto Dan is from 2016's Ex-Aid, but was turned into Another OOO, who originated in 2010. This caused the 2010 that was written on him to look similar to 2016, which had initially influenced Geiz Myokoin to use the Genm Ridewatch. This rule does not apply on the Riders that come after Zi-O, i.e. Shinobi, Quiz, Kikai, and Zero-One.

Destruction

Another Riders can be fully defeated by using these methods:

  • The original Rider themselves, depending their current status.
  • Using the power harness from the corresponding Ridewatch.
  • The Rider Armor or Futurering Form of the Rider on whom both the armor and the Another Rider are based.
  • DecadeArmor, provided it is augmented with the corresponding Ridewatch.
  • Zi-O II, which can transcend space-time and bypass the Ridewatch restrictions.
  • GeizRevive has the power to defeat any Another Rider, according to White Woz[Another Zi-O 2019]
  • Zi-OTrinity, can defeat any Another Rider, particularly ones equipped with multiple Rider powers.
  • WozGingaFinaly, which transcends space-time,thus can bypass the Ridewatch restrictions. [2019: First Love, Finaly!]
  • GrandZi-O, which is equipped with the powers of all main Kamen Riders, can defeat any Another Rider based on a main Rider.
  • Kamen Rider Decade's Rider Cards, contains powers of all main Kamen Riders.
  • A corresponding Kamen Rider summoned by Kamen Rider Diend.
  • Kamen Rider Ohma Zi-O, who contains the powers of all Kamen Riders.
  • If the Another Rider host is killed before their Anotherwatch is reset. [Kamen Rider: Reiwa The First Generation]
  • GeizMajesty, which is equipped with the powers of all the secondary Kamen Riders, can defeat any Another Rider based on a secondary Rider.

Defeating them through other means will only incapacitate the Another Rider momentarily, which during this period of time before the Anotherwatch 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 White Woz to create the appropriate Miridewatch needed to defeat the Another Rider, due to the Future Riders not existing during the present day.

Immunity

There have been cases where some Another Riders were unable to be created due to their unknown origins at that point in time. However when Swartz began to merge every single reality possible together, these Riders lost that immunity.

  • Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade: An Another Decade was originally not possible from the start of the series due to Tsukasa originating from an alternate reality. However, the merging of the worlds cost Tsukasa this immunity and ultimately his powers, creating Another Decade.
  • Dark Shinji/Kamen Rider Ryuga: Because the Mirror World was inaccessible by normal means, the Time Jackers weren't able to initially make an Another Ryuga until Dark Shinji willingly let them. This method also applies to all of the Riders that exist in Kamen Rider Ryuki, including the Decade-exclusive Kamen Rider Abyss. However with the merging of all the realities, these Riders most likely lost their immunity.
  • Kamen Rider Ginga: Ginga's origins are completely unknown, which means an Another Ginga is likely not possible. However with Swartz merging all of the realities, Ginga most likely lost this immunity.

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 circumstances such as origin of creation and individual status.

  • Kamen Rider Build and Kamen Rider Cross-Z temporarily had their powers and fought Another Build. This is due to the incubation period where the existence of the Another Riders will slowly drain their powers (and later memories) until they're gone completely. In most cases, this period is skipped on-screen, and veteran Riders appear with their powers and memories already completely stolen while in possession of their Ridewatches.
  • Ryotaro Nogami is a Singularity Point, meaning the creation of Another Den-O and other temporal changes in the past do not affect him. This immunity applies to every Rider who appears in Kamen Rider Den-O and all related media.
  • In Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FOREVER, Kamen Riders Kuuga and Double were able to exist while Another Kuuga and Double were still around. This is due to all of the Riders there being manifestations from fiction and not the actual Riders themselves.
  • 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.
  • Mondo Douan and Another Quiz were able to co-exist because the Mondo that appeared in 2019 alongside Another Quiz was taken from a moment before his powers were corrupted. By this logic, most Kamen Riders may continue to exist if a version of them before their powers were taken was brought to a point where an Another Rider of them exists.
  • Rento Makina is able to exist as a Kamen Rider in 2121 despite the existence Another Kikai in 2019 because he is nothing but a figment of Sougo's imagination being brought to life and being permeated into history itself. These creations cannot be altered in any way.
  • Shinji Kido and the rest of the Ryuki Riders were still able to transform in 2019 despite the existence of Another Ryuki for unknown reasons.
  • If an Another Rider was not created within a year of their original counterpart's debut, it will not erase the original's existence. Starting from the creation of Another Zi-O, the following Another Riders (with the exception of Another Riders based on Kamen Riders from the future) are created in 2019 rather than the year of their corresponding Kamen Rider's debut. This is mostly due to a currently unexplained space-time distortion.
  • Tsukasa Kadoya was still able to access his Rider powers despite Swartz stealing them to become Another Decade. This is because Swartz was only able to steal half of Tsukasa's powers, with the other half being used to create the Decade Ridewatch, which Tsukasa regained. [2019: Tsukuyomi Confidential]
  • Aruto Hiden was still able to transform into Kamen Rider Zero-One, alongside the appearance of Another Zero-One. This is due to several reasons:
    • Same reason listed for Rento Makina.
    • Finis personally sapped Aruto's main Zero-One powers to create the Zero-One Anotherwatch in the year 2019, the year Zero-One debuted. While this would also erase Aruto's memories, his status as one of Sougo's creations allows him to retain his memories and be fully aware of the temporal alterations. The Zero-One Driver was still accessible while his Another Rider counterpart still running around.
      • Interestingly, unlike the previous Another Riders created in the same year as their counterparts debuted, Zero-Ones supporting Kamen Riders (Vulcan, Valkyrie, Jin, and Horobi) still exist in the alternate timeline and Zero-One's enemies (Magia) were not erased from existence. This is likely the result of Finis contracting with the Humagear Will to become Another Zero-One.

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. [Kingdom 2068]

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[Doctor Gamer 2018]

The third Another Rider, Another Faiz was created in 2003. Ryuichi 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, Swartz, and was given the Another Fourze Ridewatch, becoming the fourth Another Rider, Another Fourze. [Switch On! 2011] [555・913・2003]

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 a contract with the Time Jacker and achieved magical power. At first, Hayase only uses his newfound magical 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. [Magic Showtime 2018]

The sixth Another Rider, Another OOO was created in 2010, when Kuroto trying to prove that his dad is wrong as he thinks that 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. [Genm Master 2016]

The seventh Another Rider, Another Gaim was created in 2013, when Asura was a member of Team Baron who was expelled by Kaito and his peers. While lashing out at his former leader, Swartz 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. [Zi-O On Parade 2018]

Time Jacker Tid created the eighth Another Rider, Another Double (2009 ver.) to capture Ataru's big brother, Shingo Hisanaga before Another Double forcibly turns Ataru into the ninth Another Rider, Another Den-O (2007 ver.). Tid then raids the mummified tomb of Riku, the original Kamen Rider Kuuga. Announcing his plans to end the legacy of the Heisei Riders, he seals Kuuga's powers into an Another Ridewatch and transform himself to the tenth Another Rider, Another Kuuga (2000 ver.). After his first defeat at the hands of Build and Zi-O (assuming Kuuga Armor), he use it again and combine himself with Shingo to create the eleventh Another Rider, Another Ultimate Kuuga but was later killed at the hands of all the Heisei Riders. [Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FOREVER]

The twelth Another Rider, Another Ghost was created in 2015, when Makimura was on duty when his sister, Maki gave him a Bento box. Just after Maki left, several steel beams suddenly fell from above, and about to kill Mika if Uhr didn't appear and stopping time. Heure proposes to form a contract with him, in order to save Mika and crown Makimura as the new King for Time Jackers. Out of sheer will alone, Makimura directly rejects Heure’s proposal. Makimura declares that he will not work with an evil person like Heure and that he’ll save Mika with his own power, much to Heure's disappointment and annoyance. Heure decides to let Makimura do as he pleased as he resumes the time. Makimura then pushes Mika away and gets hit by the steel beams instead, fatally wounding him. However, seconds before his death, Heure stops time once more, and forcefully inserts the Another Ghost Ridewatch into Makimura, now a lifeless corpse. [Ghost Hunter 2018]

The thirteenth Another Rider, Another Shinobi was created in 2019, when Rentaro, after being beaten by thugs when standing up for a friend, desire strength and Heure imbued him with the Shinobi Anotherwatch, transforming him into his corrupted future self. [Happy New Woz 2019]

The fourteenth Another Rider, Another Quiz was also created in 2019, when Tamotsu Douan hit a dead end with his projects, causing him to abandon his wife and son. When Mondo arrives to 2019 under White Woz's ability, Ora used this opportunity to transform Tamotsu into a twisted version of his son's future alter-ego, Another Quiz. This caused him to attack researchers and absorb their knowledge, creating a string of disappearance cases. [The Quiz Shock 2040]

The fifteenth Another Rider, Another Ryuga was created in 2019. Heure met Dark Shinji thanks to Tsukasa Kadoya's information about the mirror world. Heure learned that Dark Shinji had once been defeated in a Rider War, but as long as the real Shinji Kido exists, Dark Shinji will continue to manifest. [Mirror World 2019]

The sixteenth Another Rider, Another Kikai was created in 2019. A unique Another Rider which was created from Sougo Tokiwa's dreams, it manifested in the form of a stick insect-like creature which used organic matter to create a body of its own. Whenever it was defeated, it would hunt another tree to be used for its form. After many defeats from the riders, Another Kikai was taken by Swartz. Its power was forcibly used on Heure for the purpose to take the power of Kikai. [It's Kikai! 2121] 

The seventeenth Another Rider, Another Zi-O was created in 2019, when Hiryu Kakogawa want to kill Sougo Tokiwa in a accident in 2009. Before all that happen, Hiryu went on a hunting spree against former Another Rider hosts to harvest their Anotherwatches and recreate several Another Riders. [Another Zi-O 2019]

The eighteenth Another Rider, Another Ryuki (2002 ver.) is created in 2019 when Tatsuya Kano was given an Anotherwatch by a mysterious individual, revealed to be the new user of Odin deck, and kill innocent victims in order to revive Sara. [Advent Again]

The nineteenth Another Rider, Another Blade was created in 2019, when White Woz manipulates Amane Kurihara's emotions, making her attack multiple photo studios and asking the staff about Hajime's whereabouts.[Blade Joker!? 2019]

The twentith Another Rider, Another Agito was created in 2019, though it didn't reveal the identity of the host, he bites anyone and they will turn into mutate copy of Another Agito. After Heure put Agito Ridewatch in Another Agito, he transform into his Kamen Rider couterpart and start infecting people that transform them into mutated copies of Another Agito. [2001: Awaken, that Agito!]

The twenty-first Another Rider, Another Hibiki was created in 2019, when Tsutomu Tsuzumiya was a kid, he dreamed of becoming a great Oni like Kamen Rider Hibiki. However on his current year, the dream seemed to be an illusion and Heure forced him to have the power of Oni and went on a rampage. [2005: Rejoice! Echo! Roar!]

The twenty-second Another Rider, Another Kiva was created in 2019, when Yuko Kitajima was arrested and incarcerated for a murder she insists she didn't commit. Ora broke her out by turning her into Another Rider. [2008: First Love, Wake Up!]

The twenty-third Another Rider, Another Kabuto was created in 2019. Yaguruma receives an Anotherwatch from Heure and is turned into Another Kabuto, with a Worm who has previously mimicked his late partner Kageyama seemingly supporting him. [2006: Next Level Kabuto]

Another Den-O was also created in 2019, when Ora came and told Takuya that she can make his grudges against Yukihiro go away as he tell Yukihiro Osumi that it's his fault that his sister is dead, and eventually told Yukihiro to never come back. [2007: DenLiner Crash!]

The twenty-fourth Another Rider, Another Zi-O II was created in 2019. After a long absence, Hiryu came back again with a new power and he declared to Sougo that he had a new goal, to take what Sougo should have obtained instead and had changed the timeline as well as recreate Another Riders using his new powers.

The twenty-fifth Another Rider, Another Decade was created in 2019. Following Another Zi-O II's defeat, Swartz would utilize a blank Ridewatch to steal Tsukasa Kadoya's powers as Decade with Kaito's help. He then uses his abilities to send himself, Zi-O and Geiz into an Alternate World to battle A.R. Versions of Four Dark Riders.

The twenty-sixth Another Rider, Another Drive would also be created by Swartz in 2019. Following Swartz's acquisition of the Another Decade Watch, he disbands the Time Jackers. He uses Another Drive to eliminate his former subordinates. It also assumes Ora's appearance.

The twenty-seventh Another Rider, Another Ohma Zi-O, was created in 2019 to battle Zi-O and Ohma Zi-O to rewrite the timeline completely.[Kamen Rider Zi-O: Final Stage]

The twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth Another Riders, Another Zero-One & Another 1 will appear in Kamen Rider: Reiwa The First Generation. Another 1 will also evolve into the thirtieth Another Rider, Another New 1.

The thirty-first Another Rider, Another Diend, will appear in Kamen Rider Zi-O NEXT TIME: Geiz, Majesty.

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. [Best Match 2017]
  • Ridewatch Ejection: In rare occurrences, it's possible for Another Riders to eject regular Ridewatches based on their corresponding power, or, potentially, of one based on their original Rider form.[1] Instances include Another OOO dropping the Genm Ridewatch after being intercepted by the Taka Watchroid [Genm Master 2016] and both Blade and Chalice Ridewatches dropped after the defeat of Another Blade, the latter who absorbed their powers. [2019: Trinity Has Begun!]
    • However, this may not happen in all cases, as Another Ryuga (Kamen Rider Ryuga) and Another Kabuto (Kamen Rider KickHopper) didn't manifest any Ridewatches.

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 [The Quiz Shock 2040] ), 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 an Another Rider is defeated by the corresponding Rider Armor, they are permanently neutralized as their Anotherwatch is destroyed. [Best Match 2017] The same rule is applied to other methods of replicating a Legend Rider's power, like with Decade's Rider Cards.[2]
    • 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.[Switch On! 2011] Furthermore, the original Kamen Rider may fail to completely defeat the Another Rider if he isn't serious enough. [Final Answer? 2040‎]
  • Power Decline: Another Riders' lifespan are limited and would eventually fade away. Overusing their power would accelerate this process,[3] 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. [555・913・2003]
  • Kamen Rider Zi-O:
    • 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 when or where the Another Rider had originated. This method only works against an Another Rider with only one set of Rider powers.
    • Zi-OTrinity: Like Zi-O II, Zi-OTrinity can also take out Another Riders without the required Ridewatch needed to defeat them. However, Trinity has the added ability to take out Another Riders who have absorbed several Rider powers, such as Another Blade, who also had Chalice's powers within her. Upon defeating the Another Rider, the Ridewatches of the powers that the Another Rider had absorbed will spawn from the destruction of the Anotherwatch. Although unconfirmed, Zi-OTrinity could have taken out Ryuichi Sakuma, who had absorbed both the powers of Fourze and Faiz.
  • Kamen Rider GeizRevive: GeizRevive's power comes from the GeizRevive Ridewatch's ability to compress and speed up time. According to White Woz, the Ridewatch is told to possess the ability to defeat any Another Rider.
  • Kamen Rider WozGinga: Like Zi-O II & Trinity, WozGingaFinally was seen to be capable of taking out Another Kiva completely, which can be assumed that the form can take out other Another Riders as well.

List of Another Riders

Notes

  • The Another Riders are designed by designer Yutaka Izubuchi and Tamotsu Shinohara.
  • Another Riders traits of having their names and numbers branded on their form is previously used by Mole Imagin.
  • According to the designers, some of the Another Riders have elements from other popular media:[4]
  • Theme wise the Another Riders are slightly similar to the Negative SyndicatesIcon-crosswiki of the 30th Super Sentai GoGo Sentai BoukengerIcon-crosswiki as both are themed after something from their predecessor seasons.
    • Another Riders are mostly themed on past Kamen Riders (with the exception of Another Shinobi, Quiz and Kikai, who are based on future Riders). They're also connected to them directly, becoming monsters by receiving the power to become a Kamen Rider.
    • The villains and monsters in the Negative Syndicates are themed after past Sentai MechaIcon-crosswiki and Robo'sIcon-crosswiki. (EX. ZukangamiIcon-crosswiki of the Dark ShadowIcon-crosswiki is based on Denji Gattai Galaxy MegaIcon-crosswiki from the 21st Super Sentai Denji Sentai MegarangerIcon-crosswiki.) However, their connections to the past Mecha are purely visual and sometimes thematic homages, without actual acknowledgement that they're mimicking them in the story itself.
  • The Another Riders use concepts from past Rider season Monsters.
    • The Another Riders being humans using twisted versions of a Rider Collectible to transform is similar to the Dopants from Kamen Rider W and the Zodiarts from Kamen Rider Fourze.
      • Both monster types are normally defeated by a finisher using the same power source, Maximum Drive and Limit Break, respectively.
    • The concept of being created from making a contract with a Time Jacker is similar to the Imagin from Kamen Rider Den-O.
    • As each Another Rider is given free rein over their actions, but under the intent to cause destruction, their actions are similar to the Fusion Roidmudes from Kamen Rider Drive.
    • The idea that the system the devices stem from can create both Riders and monsters is similar to the Gamma from Kamen Rider Ghost and the Bugsters from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid.
      • The more grotesque appearance of the Ridewatches is similar to how Gamma Eyecons were more eyeball-like in design.
  • Most Another Riders have the name of the Rider they are based on and year that series aired on different parts of their bodies. Later in the series, Another Riders often feature the current year instead.
  • The overall characteristics of Another Riders appear to be the opposite of their original Rider counterparts. Such as emotions, traumas and inabilities from the original.
  • Another Riders's eyes and mouths were designed to be retractable. Only a few of them has the animation for the movements, Another Build and Another Fourze has shown retracting both of their eyes and mouths, while Another Den-O, Another Kuuga and Another Drive has shown retracting their mouths only.
  • Some of the Another Riders hosts were Kamen Riders at least some point in their lives.
    • Kuroto Dan (Kamen Rider Genm) is the first to do so as he became Another OOO. Kuroto so far is the only one who turned into an Another Rider foreign from his own series.
    • Rentaro Kagura (Kamen Rider Shinobi) followed up and turned into his own Another Shinobi. This is an odd exception as the Rentaro that was turned at the time wasn't yet a Kamen Rider.
    • Dark Shinji (Kamen Rider Ryuga) followed up and turned into his own Another Ryuga. Dark Shinji is the first "veteran" Rider to turn into the corrupted version of his own Rider form.
    • Sou Yaguruma (Kamen Rider KickHopper) turned into Another Kabuto. He is the first to simultaneously utilize both of his Another Rider and Kamen Rider powers in battle.
    • Paradox Roidmude (Kamen Rider Dark Drive) turned into Another Drive. He is the first monster to become not only a Kamen Rider, but also an Another Rider.
    • Daiki Kaito (Kamen Rider Diend) inadvertently transformed into Another Zi-O II against his will when he used the Anotherwatch to undo Tsukasa Kadoya's death.
  • Another Riders' forms seem to draw aspects from their bases' more powerful forms:
    • Another Zero-One: Design aspects similar to the Upper Body of Zero-One's Shining Hopper Form and MetalCluster Hopper's Locust swarm motif and metal color palette on the fingers,shoulder pads and wings,as well as Ark's connection with these forms.
    • Another Zi-O (II): Foresight, armor design, and dual wielding like Kamen Rider Zi-O II/Summoning Riders to fight on his behalf like GrandZi-O.
    • Another Build: A mix of RabbitTank Hazard's and RabbitTank Sparkling's design aesthetics.
    • Another Ex-Aid: Hyper Muteki's "hair" and Drago Knight Hunter Z's leitmotif.
    • Another Ghost: Toucon Damashii's Persona design
    • Another Drive: Super Deadheat's helmet and Type Tridoron's shoulder tire.
    • Another Gaim: Kachidoki Arms' armor design and weapon type.
    • Another Wizard: The coat design of Flame Dragon.
    • Another Fourze: Cosmic States' Module Access.
    • Another OOO: Super Tatoba Combo's coloring, and a scarf based off eagle wings, like Putotyra Combo's External Fins.
    • Another Double: The bird-like design of the belt from CycloneJokerXtreme's Xtreme Memory, and the Joker half's spikes from FangJoker.
    • Another Decade: Decade Complete Form's head and leg design and Violent Emotion's color and face. 
    • Another Diend: Diend Complete Form's leg design and cyan stripes on his chest.
    • Another Kiva: Design elements from Kiva's Emperor Form and the ability to use all 3 Arm Monsters weapons like DoGaBaKi(Emperor) form.
    • Another Den-O: The train track designs from Den-O Climax Form and New Den-O Strike Form, as well as the armor frame and non-Imagin possession (InTakuya Endo 's case) of Liner Form.
    • Another Kabuto: Kabuto Hyper's horn and thigh armor.
    • Another Hibiki: An armored body and the stick shealth like Armed Hibiki.
    • Another Blade: Heavy armor and Undead traits and powers like King Form, and a sword appearing like a mix between the King Rouzer and the (Jack) Blay Rouzer.
    • Another Faiz: The Rider Kick-like attack of Blaster Form's variant of the Crimson Smash.
    • Another Ryuki and Ryuga: Their Survive Forms' head and armor.
    • Another Agito: The chest armor design and forearm blades of Agito's Burning Form.
    • Another Kuuga: A potential force of destruction and an ability to grow more powerful like Kuuga's Ultimate Form.
    • Another 1: An armored body like Power Up and the Neo Cyclone.
  • Perhaps as a nod to the Cross of Fire, Another Riders appear similar to or display abilities/quirks from their monster contemporaries:
    • Another Shinobi - A rather intended case; as his similarity to Yami Shinobi is enforced with the latter having his suit recycled from the former.
    • Another Zero-One - Face is based on a Humagear's skeleton bursting out before transforming and Magia's animal motif and four eyes as well as Ark's malice programming and designs.
    • Another Zi-O(II) - A monster based on a Rider.
    • Another Build - Consumption of Smash Bottles and going berserk are based on early victims of the Smash experiments.
    • Another Ex-Aid - A living plague of Bugster Viruses.
    • Another Ghost - Performs soul extraction as his modus operandi, which alluded to Knife Gamma and Katchu Gamma. Additionally, the extracted souls were used to empower himself, in a similar vein to how the Gamma World's inhabitants were suffering malfunctions of their preservation capsules and require compensation by absorbing human lives.
    • Another Drive - His host is a Roidmude with the ability to use Heavy Acceleration, along with a grey skeletal face, and a similar armor design to Mashin Chaser.
    • Another Gaim - Demonstrating the Overlords' abilities to command Inves and creating Crack portals. Some of the leading Overlords are also known for having minor traits of a Kamen Rider, whereas Another Gaim is an inversion of the former trope.
    • Another Wizard - His host, Hayase becomes rampant after learning of his crush's engagement; The Phantoms, Kamen Rider Wizard's adversaries, are born from Gates falling into despair.
    • Another Fourze - Retains the Photon Blood-like trails from Another Faiz, which also alludes to the trails on a Zodiart's body. He molts into Another Faiz in a similar way to Zodiarts evolving into Horoscopes.
    • Another OOO - Has a hybridization of three animals and wears leather clothes, based on the Greeeds and bleed Cell Medals upon receiving damage, his claw gaunlets also have a similar design to Kazari's.
    • Another Double - His Cyclone half's coloration closely resembles Nazca Dopant.
    • Another Decade - The Destroyer of Kamen Riders. An anomaly from another universe, similar to how some of the monsters the original Decade fought were brought from different A.R. worlds by enemy factions or said worlds converging. His host, Swartz leading an army of past villains brings in mind Tsukasa who was once the Great Leader of Dai-Shocker.
    • Another Diend - Similar head, chest and shoulder aesthetics to monsters whom he related aspects with:Jashin 14's horns, Chinomanako Diend Form's design, Eve's eyes, Another Blade and Another Zi-O II's analogus concept.
    • Another Kiva -  Both the actual Rider and Bat Fangire are legitimate rulers to the Fangire race, hence the hybridization of their design. Her preying on human life force is also due to the users of Kamen Rider Kiva are supposedly of the Fangire heritage.
