History[]

Background[]

This iteration of Sougo Tokiwa followed the events of his main counterpart, up until the arrival of Geiz, Woz and Tsukuyomi from the future. On September 8th, 2018, he eventually obtained his Ziku-Driver and the Zi-O Ridewatch to become Kamen Rider Zi-O. Unlike the main Sougo, Ohma Zi-O did not at any point become discouraged, thus it did not create a path for GeizRevive's existence.

Eventually, Sougo Tokiwa obtained the Zi-O Ridewatch II and gained additional abilities to manipulate time however he wanted to. On April 7, 2019, Sougo evolved into Kamen Rider Ohma Zi-O from his base form during the events of Oma's Day. Using this newfound power, he destroyed the world using the Dai Mazines, eventually wiping out at least 50% of the Earth's population, and began his rule over the planet.

Reign of Ohma Zi-O[]

Ohma Zi-O First Scene

Ohma Zi-O annihilates the resistance.

During one of Resistance's battles against the tyrant, Ohma Zi-O stood behind his monument as he effortlessly wipes out the army. He declares that none of them were capable of defeating him because he was "born to be king". Sometime after this ordeal, Geiz Myokoin and Tsukuyomi traveled to the past, with the intent on guiding Sougo Tokiwa's fate of becoming Ohma Zi-O. Knowing this would jeopardize his own existence, Ohma Zi-O sent Woz after them.

Sougo meeting his younger self.

"If you're that against becoming a demon king...then let me tell you what you can do. Throw away that belt! If you do that, then you won't become me."
―Ohma Zi-O offering his past self a chance to alter his destiny[src]

One day, as he perched on his chrysanthemum throne in an isolated field, Ohma Zi-O sensed his past self's presence in 2068 after being sent there by Tsukasa Kadoya. He summoned Dragreder to bring both his past self and Tsukuyomi to him. Ohma Zi-O met the past Sougo and acknowledged their dreams that destined them to become king. Despite his past self's protests, Ohma Zi-O claimed he accomplished their dream into becoming the "greatest and kindest Demon King", enraging the past Zi-O to engage the tyrant but failed due to Ohma Zi-O's overwhelming strength and experience with the Ridewatches. After the battle, he suggests to the past Sougo to give up the Ziku-Driver and sends him and Tsukuyomi back to 2018, knowing that he'll be erased from the timeline. He was restored back to existence knowing his past self couldn't give up his dream.

Message from the Future[]

Ohma Zi-O displaying remain Ridewatches

Ohma Zi-O telling the younger Sougo to collect the remaining six Watches.

"There are six powers left for you to obtain. Obtaining all the Watches is... your path towards kingship. The path to conquest!"
―Ohma Zi-O presenting his past self the final Ridewatches to become the Demon King.[src]

After the past Sougo acquired the power of Zi-OTrinity and the Blade Ridewatch, Daiki Kaito presented Sougo and Geiz with a message from Ohma Zi-O, who congratulated his past self for having collected the Blade Ridewatch, having known about it all along. Ohma Zi-O then manifested six Ridewatches: Agito, Hibiki, Kabuto, Den-O, Kiva, and Drive, and told the past Sougo that he would have to obtain kingship by acquiring the remaining six Rider powers.

The King of Time & Space[]

"So you've obtained the power of all the Riders. Regardless, you're still no match for me."
―Ohma Zi-O challenging GrandZi-O to test his newfound power.[src]

After his past self obtained all the Ridewatches, Ohma Zi-O transported GrandZi-O back to 2068 to congratulate his past self for his newfound power, but claimed he's still no match for him. While he fought GrandZi-O using the powers of the various Kamen Riders, Ohma Zi-O had the upperhand once Kamen Rider Drive was summoned. Ohma Zi-O took hold of the manifestation and allowed Drive to defeat GrandZi-O. Despite his past self obtaining nineteen Ridewatches, he didn't obtain the Drive Watch properly as that was previously Ohma Zi-O's. After Woz wisked Sougo away to safety, Ohma Zi-O commended his servant but began to notice someone in the past had altered the timeline, placing his current one in jeopardy. Eventually, his past self was able to return the timeline back to normal, and Ohma Zi-O's existence was untouched.

"Tell me. What is Ohma Zi-O's power?"
"The power to destroy time. Someone like Swartz does not have the power to destroy the world. He plans to have you destroy the dimensions."
"But I won't become you."
"Oh, really? You are me. I look forward to seeing... which timeline you destroy, and how you go on about it."
―Ohma Zi-O explaining his power to the past Sougo.[src]

Once Swartz surfaced as Another Decade and waged a war threatening the Kamen Riders' timelines, the past Sougo arrived to meet Ohma Zi-O during the Resistance's raid. While he did not expect his past self returning to 2068 again, the past Zi-O assured history has changed and was Ohma Zi-O's past was his future. Through the teamwork with his comrades, the past Zi-O briefly overwhelmed Ohma Zi-O. Remarking how much the past Sougo would do anything to sacrifice himself for his comrades, Ohma Zi-O reveals to the past Sougo that his power is to destroy space and time itself, a power Swartz can never imagine. The future Sougo wishes to see the present Sougo's next move, as he sends Sougo back to his timeline. Aware that his past self is trying to turn Tsukuyomi into a Kamen Rider, he empowers the blank Ridewatch in Tsukuyomi's pocket.

After his past self became Kamen Rider Ohma Zi-O and defeated Swartz, Ohma Zi-O learned that the past Sougo's intentions to erase the current timeline. Ohma Zi-O had one final conversation with his younger self if he is making the right choice. He listened on how the past Sougo, while having accomplished his goal of becoming a king, cannot reign supreme without his friends. With Ohma Zi-O's blessing, the past Sougo used power as the King of Time to recreate the world's history. Ohma Zi-O bid farewell to his past Sougo before being erased from the timeline, as he admitted that it was interesting to have met his young counterpart.

"True Sougo" as Ohma Zi-O.

Main article: True Sougo

Ohma Zi-O returns as the main antagonist of Rider Time: Kamen Rider Decade VS Zi-O and Rider Time: Kamen Rider Zi-O VS Decade. He is referred as True Sougo (真実のソウゴ, Shinjitsu no Sōgo). True Sougo's actual nature and origin is currently debatable. Whether he is the same Ohma Zi-O from the TV show, originates from Sougo A's future, or a version of Ohma Zi-O from an A.R. World remains to be explained.

After being weakened from destroying and creating too many worlds, he sets up a death game to select a suitable host for his body, which drew the attention of Tsukasa Kadoya. When Ohma Zi-O attempted to bring all six different versions of Sougo Tokiwa, each from their own dimensions, which in turned regressed his body into the form of a child with amnesia. Eventually, he remembers his life as Ohma Zi-O; after transforming into the Demon King while revealing his identity, he tries to take the original Sougo's life, but subsequently defeated by Zi-O.

"Do you remember now... my younger self? You were never born to be a king. However... it was your own wish to become one. For what purpose did you want by becoming a king? Recognition from others? Or proving yourself special?"
―Ohma Zi-O's pep-talk to his younger self.[src]

During the Quartzer crisis, when his past self observed fond memories of their parents, he appears to his past self in his era and motivated him to defeat Barlckxs. He later provided his past self with another step towards the ultimate power: the Ohma Zi-O Ridewatch. This eventually allowed young Sougo to defeat SOUGO as Kamen Rider Zi-O OhmaForm.

Kamen Rider City Wars[]

Separated from the younger self, Ohma Zi-O appeared as a boss enemy in Kamen Rider City Wars.

Personality[]

From what was known about him, Ohma Zi-O was 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 did not even view the resistance fighters as serious threats. His arrogance was not without merit, however, as his battle against his younger self demonstrated impressive mastery over his abilities of his predecessors. Furthermore, he was extremely confident and fearless, as he openly suggested to his past self to throw away the Ziku-Driver, an action that would result in his own temporal erasure, and even arrogantly laughed as he was disappearing from the timeline, suggesting that everything young Sougo would do were within his calculation and expectation.

However, he still believed that his tyranny had somehow saved the world. When young Sougo claimed that he wished to become the "kindest and greatest" Demon King, this Sougo replied that he did in fact become the "greatest and kindest" Demon King, albeit not in the sense of compassion, but in the sense of perfection.

Although known for being a villainous demon king, Sougo was still shown to have retained some of his past traits. He continued to encourage his younger counterpart to the path to kingship, although it was mostly for saving his own existence. He was also quite amused when he found out that Zi-OTrinity could briefly overpower him. He then explained the true extent of his power and gave some of his power to Tsukuyomi (albeit against his will), resulting in the creation of the Tsukuyomi Ridewatch.

In the series finale, when the past Sougo himself revealed that he was going to use the powers to reset time instead, Sougo did not get upset, but rather became amused and looked forward to seeing a future that the past Sougo would create without the powers of Ohma Zi-O. Even when knowing full well that he would permanently cease to exist, Sougo harbored no ill will towards his youthful self's actions, and he willingly let himself be erased without resistance, this time with a satisfying laugh of amusement and consent.

Abilities[]

Weaknesses[]

  • Sougo Tokiwa: Because Ohma Zi-O is Sougo's future self, any disturbance in the timeline (for example, the Ziku-Driver's destruction or Sougo's death) can erase Ohma Zi-O from existence. [Forever King 2018] In their third and final match, his young counterpart, alongside with his companions, was able to overwhelm Ohma Zi-O to his knees, although the latter had no intention to go all out against his younger self, a fact acknowledged by young Sougo himself. [2068: Ohma Time]

Former Weaknesses[]

  • Hiryu Kakogawa: Another Zi-O II's ability to alter history and reality can put Ohma Zi-O's existence in jeopardy. After Hiryu is defeated by GrandZi-O, this was no longer the case.

Kamen Rider Ohma Zi-O (仮面ライダーオーマジオウ, Kamen Raidā Ōma Jiō), or simply Ohma Zi-O, is the final form of Sougo in a dystopian future. His visor reads "Rider" (ライダー, Raidā), while the logo on his forehead reads "Kamen" (カメン) in katakana. In the initial position of the timeline, Sougo obtained this form on the event of Oma's Day, gaining control over the Dai Mazines and obtaining power of all Heisei Kamen Riders known to exist till date.[3]

Compared to all of the other forms of Zi-O, Ohma Zi-O's skills are far beyond anything seen so far in the series. In addition to that, though Zi-O (2018-19), Geiz, and Woz need to use Ridewatches in their Drivers and/or weapons for using Legend/Future Rider powers, Ohma Zi-O can simply use them either through his will or by activating the respective Ridewatches.

Allows Ohma Zi-O to sense parallel timelines and informs him of any temporal changes made to history. Also allows Ohma Zi-O to sense parallel worlds. (Note, a rattrapante is a type of chronographic device that possesses two second hands, allowing the user to time multiple events. Also known as a 'double chronograph'.)
    • Expressive Flame Eye (エクスプレッシブフレイムアイ, Ekusupuresshibu Fureimu Ai): The red visor that spells out 'Rider' in katakana. Sensors with a 270° viewing angle is built into the compound eye. Additionally, its red coloring is due to it being in a constant state of heat, being 1000-1200°C. It can shoot out rays of heat at a maximum output.
    • Decorative Dial (デコラティブダイアル, Dekoratibu Daiaru): Ohma Zi-O's faceplate. It is a multilayered armor structure. The top layer utilizes Dark Matter Ingot (ダークマターインゴット, Dāku Matā Ingotto) as a decorative material.
    • Divine Bezel (ディバインベゼル, Dibain Bezeru): The golden frame that surrounds Ohma Zi-O's face. It is composed of Zavaldust Graphenium (ザバルダストグラフェニウム, Zabaru Dasuto Gurafeniumu), which is 1200 times stronger than steel. Super dense diamonds are encrusted into it.

Devices known as Alternate Plugs (オルタネートプラグ, Orutanēto Puragu) are installed, allowing Ohma Zi-O to activate a Ridewatch's powers just by activating them.
    • Apocalypse of Kingdom (アポカリプス・オブ・キングダム, Apokaripusu Obu Kingudamu): The two giant clock hands that hang on Ohma Zi-O's back. The hands themselves are titled Aparajita (アパラージタ, Aparājita). By rotating themselves on the back, the Apocalypse of Kingdom can create a sort of circular disk attack.
  • Engraved Tecter (エングレイブドテクター, Engureibudo Tekutā): Ohma Zi-O's shoulder armor. It is composed of Zalvadust Graphenium. Contains an inbuilt Sona Count Pad (ザバルダストグラフェニウム, Sona Kaunto Paddo).
  • Mid Band Liner Anthem (ミッドバンドライナー・アンセム, Middo Bando Rainā Ansemu): The silver watch strap that travels along Ohma Zi-O's entire body. It is a biological enhancement device, delivering the Ohma Zi-O Driver's inexhaustible energy into the wearer's body, giving them astonishing strength and power.
  • Noble Adjustrike Suit (ノーブルアジャストライクスーツ, Nōburu Ajasutoraiku Sūtsu): Ohma Zi-O's bodysuit. Partial shape changes, such as contraction and expansion, are regularly performed to deal maximum sharpness into an attack.

  • Meridian Sash (メリディアンサッシュ, Meridian Sasshu): The golden watch strap. It is an 'authoritative medal'. It allows Ohma Zi-O to send a 'seperate surge' (セパレートサージ, separēto sāji) boundary wave that sends all objects in comes into contact within a 4km radius into a separate dimension.

The built-in Nanotube Muscle (ナノチューブ筋, Nanochūbu-kin) that covers the entire arm is strengthened and pushed to the absolute limits that humans can tolerate. The addtional ultra-high Gold Compression Line (ゴールドコンプレッションライン, Gōrudo Konpuresshon Rain) restraints on the upper arm restrains the Nanotube Muscles' power, yet allows Ohma Zi-O to retain his supernatural power.
  • Solemn Arm Armor (ソレムアームアーマー, Soremu Āmu Āmā): The forearm armor. Crafted out of Dark Matter Ingot, it can freely change its weight and density, increasing punching and blowing impacts. By increasing density as per needed, the ultimate defensive strength can be obtained.
    • Sona Ridewatch Holders (ソナライドウォッチホルダー, Sona Raidou~otchi Horudā): Golden Ridewatch Holders. Due to Ohma Zi-O's ability to pull out Ridewatches out of thin air, they appear to be mere decorative pieces.

  • Time Catastrophe Leg (タイムカタストロフレッグ, Taimu Katasutorofu Reggu): The legs. The built-in Nanotube Muscle (ナノチューブ筋, Nanochūbu-kin) that covers the entire leg is strengthened and pushed to the absolute limits that humans can tolerate. The additional ultra-high Gold Compression Line (ゴールドコンプレッションライン, Gōrudo Konpuresshon Rain) restraints limit the Nanotube Muscles' power, yet allows Ohma Zi-O to retain his supernatural power.

Behind The Scenes[]

Portrayal[]

Seiji Takaiwa as Ohma Zi-O

Takaiwa as old Sougo

As Sougo is an old man at this point in time, he is portrayed by Seiji Takaiwa (高岩 成二, Takaiwa Seiji), [4][5], with Rikiya Koyama (小山 力也, Koyama Rikiya) acting as voice-over. His suit actor as Ohma Zi-O is Yasuhiko Imai (今井 靖彦, Imai Yasuhiko).

Etymology[]

The "Ohma" in his name refers to Ōmagatoki (逢魔時 lit. "The hour of meeting evil spirits") in Japanese mythology and also a reversed spelling of Demon King (魔王(マオー), Ma Ō).

Notes[]

Oma Zi-O mask closeup

A close-up of Ohma Zi-O's mask.

  • Ohma Zi-O's helmet has a pattern comprising the kanji for "King" (, Ō), symbolizing his nature as the Demon King.
  • He is alternatively spelled Oma Zi-O in some sources.
  • Chronologically, Sougo (as his future self) is the oldest protagonist to be introduced in the Kamen Rider franchise, being at the age of 68.
  • According to Shin-ichiro Shirakura, he described Ohma Zi-O as the gravekeeper who protects the graves of the Heisei Riders, and that he has been watching over the Heisei Riders for 50 years to prevent them from going out of control in the past.[6]
  • In the process of creating Ohma Zi-O's costume, the designers based the suit on the concept of "king". It was originally created like a Final Form in mind, and was designed to show off its power with excessive decoration rather than an elegant and stylish appearance. The watchband sash on his body was inspired by those worn by Southeast Asian royalty, and the blank Ridewatches resembles decorative medallions. The asymmetrical clock hands behind the back are likened to a cape.[7][8]
  • In his appearance in Kamen Rider Zi-O: Over Quartzer, the Ohma Zi-O that speaks to Sougo is not actually him but a figment of Sougo's imagination. According to Shin-ichiro Shirakura, the scene was meant to portray a pivotal moment in Sougo's self-acceptance and evolution into OhmaForm.[9][10]
