This 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, the first series to be produced in the Reiwa period, and the twenty-ninth series overall. The series started on September 2, 2018, joining Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger in the Super Hero Time line-up after the finale of Kamen Rider Build. After Lupinranger VS Patranger’s conclusion, it was joined by 4 Week Continuous Special Super Sentai Strongest Battle!! in February 2019 and later Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger in March 2019. After the finale of Kamen Rider Zi-O, Ryusoulger would air alongside Kamen Rider Zero-One in a Super Hero Time block.
The show tagline 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
|
Sougo Tokiwa, a high school student born in the year 2000, has always dreamed of becoming a king when he encounters a mysterious girl named Tsukuyomi, who hails from the future in a desperate effort to alter her dire future. She presents Sougo with an ominous warning "You will become the king of time, Kamen Rider Zi-O, a demonic king destined to rule the world.”. Sougo takes up the mantle as Kamen Rider Zi-O to stop the Time Jackers from destroying the very fabric of space-time while protecting the legacy of the Heisei Kamen Riders that came before him. During his journey alongside Geiz Myokoin, a Kamen Rider from Tsukuyomi's future, and the mysterious prophet Woz who reminds Sougo of his demonic destiny, they will meet their esteemed predecessors who they must gain their trust and powers from in order to create a new future for the Kamen Riders and mankind itself. 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:[4]
- 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 7, 1989, Zi-O shall enter the new Reiwa era on May 1, 2019 with the scheduled abdication of Emperor Akihito on April 30 in 2019.
- Bearing in mind that the 1990s feature films are officially classed as Showa Riders due to the involvement of creator Shotaro Ishinomori as well as preceding the revival of the TV series with Kamen Rider Kuuga, the future of classification of the Kamen Rider Series beyond Zi-O is unknown at this time.
- 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.
- Incidentally, Decade would appear in the series as well as changing into Ryuki. However, he does not use the original Decadriver and instead uses the Neo Decaderiver.
- This is the first series since:
- Ghost to feature secondary writers plotting the episodes.
- Den-O to not have spring film in production during the series run.
- The actors of the three Future Riders' are Super Sentai alumni.
- Interestingly, They all starred in 2010s Super Sentai series.
- Although the first two played Sentai Rangers, the third played a Sentai Villain.
- The fourth Future Rider's (voice) actor also voiced Sentai Monsters of the week.
- Interestingly, They all starred in 2010s Super Sentai series.
- This Kamen Rider series shares some similar elements with its first Super Hero Time partner, Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger.
- Even though Lupin-Pat is not an anniversary season, both celebrate the respective franchises:
- The Lupin Collection is made of props of previous Sentai seasons
- Zi-O and Geiz can utilize the powers of past Heisei Riders
- Both have heroes raised by their uncle (Patren 3gou and Kamen Rider Zi-O)
- The force of time isn't as prevelent, but Noël and the Lupinrangers have lost someone they loved, so they want to "reclaim their frozen time", which is their motivation/reasoning to become Lupinrangers.
- Both the heroes and the Monsters of both shows use the same collectible device to use their powers with them having differences between who uses them.
- Both the Lupinrangers, Patrangers and the Gangler use Lupin Collection Pieces with the only difference is that the pieces used by the Lupinranger and the Patranger are modified for human use.
- Both the Riders and the Another Riders use Ridewatches with the difference being that the ones used by the Riders are high tech with the face of a Past Rider on it and the ones used for Another Riders are evil demonic looking trinkets with faces of a monstrous version of a past Rider on it.
- The motif of the Monsters in both shows involve the past in some way.
- All members of the Ganglers are themed after extinct animals (ex. Dinosaurs like the Tyrannosaurus Rex and extinct mammals like the Woolly Mammoth).
- Another Riders are themed after past riders.
- Jingi Irie appears in both of them.
- The heroes from both shows have a power-up that allows them to predict their opponents moves.
- VictoryStriker for Super Lupin Red and Super Patren X.
- SirenStriker for Super Patren 1gou and Super Lupin X.
- Zi-O Ridewatch II for Kamen Rider Zi-O II.
- Both the Lupinrangers, Patrangers and Zi-O Riders can fuse into one. (Lupin Red uses Jackpot Striker to combine Lupin Blue and Lupin Yellow into Lupin Tricolor, Patren 1gou uses GoodStriker to combine Patren 2gou and Patren 3gou into Patren Ugou, Kamen Rider Zi-O uses Zi-O Trinity Ridewatch to combine Kamen Rider Geiz and Kamen Rider Woz into Zi-O Trinity).
- Even though Lupin-Pat is not an anniversary season, both celebrate the respective franchises:
- Not counting Rider Troops, this series has highest number of Riders with unnamed identity, (currently) totally 11.
