Icon-krThis article is about a series entry (the 29th) in the Kamen Rider Series.

For the series' main character, Zi-O, see Sougo Tokiwa.

Kamen Rider Zi-O (仮面ライダージオウ, Kamen Raidā Jiō) is a Japanese tokusatsu drama in Toei Company's Kamen Rider Series. It is the twentieth and final series in the Heisei period run and the first series in an currently unknown new era and the twenty-ninth series overall. The series started on September 2, 2018, joining Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai PatrangerIcon-crosswiki in the Super Hero Time line-up after the finale of Kamen Rider Build.

The tagline of the show is "Go beyond space-time!" (時空を超えろ！, Jikū wo koero!). Much like Kamen Rider Decade, it commemorates all of the Heisei-era Kamen Riders to date.

Plot

KR Heisei 20th Slider

"The Heisei Kamen Riders have passed through this era. It's time to pass that power down to the future. Rejoice at the birth of the new king!"
―Opening narration by Rikiya Koyama.[src]

In the fall of 2018, a time machine appears before Sougo Tokiwa, a high schooler that has always dreamed of becoming a king. Then, Tsukuyomi appears from the time machine, telling the hero “I come from the year 2068, a world without hope where the Oma Zi-O, the king of time reigns supreme.” She has come from the future in a desperate effort to change her own time. She then gives the hero an ominous warning “You will become Kamen Rider Zi-O, King of Time, the overlord destined to rule the world.” Can this really be the hero’s fate? This is the story of a Kamen Rider who would be king, who will fight to save the past, present, and future, encountering the various Heisei Kamen Riders throughout space-time.

Episodes

Main article: Kamen Rider Zi-O Episodes

The series is divided into four story arcs:[2]

  • Episode 01-16 - Rider Time, the Demon King of Future (「ライダータイム、未来の魔王」編, Raidā Taimu, Mirai no Maō Hen), this arc introduces most of the main characters and the plot.
  • Episode 17-30 - Trinity Time, Servant and Demon King and Saviour (「トリニティタイム、従者と魔王と救世主」編, Toriniti Taimu, Jūsha to Maō to Kyūseishu Hen), this arc features White Woz who seeks to create GeizRevive, the 3 riders of the future, and the preparation of Oma's Day. It also shows Sougo’s past and how his dreams of becoming king came to be.
  • Episode 31-43 - Grand Time, the New Future (「グランドタイム、新たなる未来」編, Gurando Taimu, Aratanaru Mirai Hen), this arc deals with Tsukuyomi’s past as she regains her memories.
  • Episode 44-49 - End Time, the Destruction and Reborn of the World (「終焉の時、世界の破壊と再生」編, Shūen no Toki, Sekai no Hakai to Saisei), this deals with Swartz’s real plan to become king and Sougo becoming Ohma Zi-O.

Each episode title is written in either katakana or hiragana, and includes the year relevant to that particular episode, which is often the premiere year of the original Legend Rider in the case of tribute episodes. Starting with episode 30, this format is reversed, starting with the year first, then the title. Similar to the previous two Rider series, many episodes still use the English language in most of their parts of the episode’s title, though there are exceptions.

As the show pays tribute to the Heisei period Kamen Riders, each episode title consists of a short phrase related to a particular Heisei Rider series and a year relevant to it.

Notes

  • Following only Kamen Rider Black RX before it, the final Showa era series, Zi-O will be broadcast through two eras of Japanese history. However, while Black RX entered the Heisei era with the death of Emperor Hirohito on January 7th of 1989, Zi-O shall enter the new era with the scheduled abdication of Emperor Akihito on April 30th in 2019.
  • This is the first series since Fourze to have the titular rider only appear at the predecessor's summer film while OOO is the first have the transformation device appearing at the predecessor's series only.
  • On Zi-O's official Twitter page, there is an error on the banner that shows Ryuki wearing the Decadriver. This error was fixed as the banner have several Riders covering Ryuki's lower body. However, the image of Ryuki wearing the Decadriver remains on the banner.
  • This is the first series since Ghost to feature secondary writers plotting the episodes.
