History

The Third History

Emerging in the World of Zi-O resetted by Sougo Tokiwa, the Third Woz used his version of Future Note to awake Inner Sougo’s persona in the main Sougo Tokiwa and reset the timeline once again.

The Fourth History

With the help of Third Woz, Inner Sougo reigned in this timeline and became the ruler known as "Ohma Zi-O" in 2068. Using the Decade Ridewatch, he and Inner Sougo went back to the 2018 of the old timeline, right before Sougo Tokiwa met Geiz and Tsukuyomi for the first time to prevent that from happening and only letting the old version of Ohma Zi-O to exist. Transforming into Another Ohma Zi-O, Inner Sougo went to battle with Sougo and his allies. Using Future Note again, the Third Woz summoned two Anotherwatches using small Time Road and transformed Another Ohma Zi-O into Another Ohma Zi-O Trinity.

Their plans, however, were thwarted by Woz and Sougo successfully saving the flow of time and defeating Inner Sougo. After that, Inner Sougo disappeared. ^{[Novel: Kamen Rider Zi-O]}

Behind The Scenes

Etymology

Sougo Tokiwa's name is play on Tokiwa-sō, the place where Shotaro Ishinomori lived and started his manga career during 1956 to 1961. "Tokiwa" also carries the word (とき, Toki), which can be translated into time when it is written in kanji "時".

"Zi" in Zi-O's name could mean either time (時, Ji) or character (字, Ji), representing his "watch" and "Katakana" motifs while the "O" means king (王, Ō). It may also be Goroawase for the number 20 (2 - Ji, 0 - Ō), referencing that Zi-O is the 20th Heisei Rider.
