This article is about a monstrous Rider in Kamen Rider Zi-O. |
Template:Characterinfo White Woz (白ウォズ, Shiro Wozu)[1] is a zealous supporter of Geiz Myokoin from another world who traveled to early 2019 in order to help him achieve his destiny to become the world's savior, who also transforms into Another Diend (アナザーディエンド, Anazā Diendo), an Another Rider derived from Kamen Rider Diend.
History
This version of White Woz hails from one of the Another Worlds created by Swartz and survived his world's destruction. Unlike the version who appeared in the TV series who was erased from existence, he hails from a seperate timeline.
Wielding a brand new Future Note Legend of Savior (救世主伝説, Kyūseishu Densetsu), he arrives to guide Geiz to become his savior. Unbeknownst to the others, he had already stolen Daiki Kaito's powers to become Another Diend. Kaito revealed that he once battled White Woz in an attempt to steal something from him, but was foiled by a decoy used by Futurering Shinobi just as he was about to finish Woz off. White Woz revealed that the reason he forced Geiz to become a savior is so he could devour his power and become the new savior. Geiz clashed against him as GeizRevive, but was outmatched until Daiki gave him the secondary Rider Cards, merging into the GeizMajesty Ridewatch.

Futurering Shinobi (フューチャーリングシノビ, Fyūchāringu Shinobi)[4] is Woz's Kamen Rider Shinobi-based form accessed using the Shinobi Miridewatch in the Beyondriver. Its visor spells out "Shinobi" (シノビ ) in katakana.[5]
Using a Futurering ability, Kamen Rider Woz can harness the powers and abilities of Kamen Rider Shinobi via the Shinobi Miridewatch. In this form, he uses ninja techniques and skills to fight against his enemies. It also allows Woz to turn himself into a shadowy mist that can move through surfaces.
Futurering Shinobi adds the following parts:
- Caliber S/FS (キャリバーS/FS, Kyaribā S/FS) - The head. 'FS' stands for 'Futurering Shinobi'.
- Clock Blade S Shinobi (クロックブレードSシノビ, Kurokku Burēdo S Shinobi) - The antenna. It is a data collection device. The long hand, Baryon Hand M, predicts temporal information while the shorthand, Meson Hand H, measures spatial information. In addition, Kamen Rider Shinobi's ability to detect and intercept signals in an encrypted or digitized state across multiple frequency channels.
- War Signal Shinobi (ウォーシグナル・シノビ, Uō Shigunaru Shinobi) - An information gathering unit located on the forehead behind the Clock Blade S Shinobi. It analyses information, derives the optimum solution to a problem and feeds it to Woz. Additionally, the abilities of Kamen Rider Shinobi is taken into consideration and automatically adjusts Ninjutsu maneuvers.
- Indication Track Eye Shinobi (インジケーショントラックアイ・シノビ, Injikēshon Torakku Ai Shinobi) - The visor which spells out 'Shinobi'. In addition to granting Woz a 270° viewing angle, it also allows him to view up to 10km away. It is also capable of night vision and can change its perspective mode according to the situation.

Behind the Scenes
Portrayal
As with his prime timeline counterpart, this version of White Woz as Another Diend is portrayed by Keisuke Watanabe (渡邊 圭祐, Watanabe Keisuke).
Notes
- Another Diend's chest armor, shoulder pads, and helmet are retooled and repainted from Chinomanako Diend Form, while his body is retooled and repainted from Another Decade.
- Similarly both Chinomanako Diend and Another Diend are created from stealing Daiki Kaito's powers.
- Interestingly, both Chinomanako Diend and Another Diend are also can summon the monsters from any Kamen Riders.
- Just like Chinomanako Diend who can summon Nanashis from Sanzu River, he can summon multiple Kasshines at disposal.
- Like Another Decade, Another Diend also can summon the Monsters of different Kamen Riders.
- Interestingly, both Another Rider were created from the respective Original Rider from the same series.
- They are also only gain half of the Rider's power while the other half of the Rider's power were given to the protagonist in the form of Ridewatches (Diend Ridewatch/GeizMajesty Ridewatch and Decade Ridewatch/GrandZi-O Ridewatch)
- Another Diend's goals is somewhat similar to Swartz, as both forced their targets to become king/saviour so that they can absorb their power to become the true king/saviour.
- Due to this, Another Diend is the second Another Rider to be retooled from an already existing monstrous Rider, with Another Agito the first.
- His twisted version of the Diend Belt is albeit similar to Dark Decade's Decadriver.
- He is the only Another Rider that does not have a twisted version of his original counterpart's transformation device, the Diendriver, as his weapon.
- Similarly both Chinomanako Diend and Another Diend are created from stealing Daiki Kaito's powers.
- Another Diend is the second Another Rider based on a Legend Rider instead of a primary Heisei Rider, after Another Ryuga. Of note, Another Diend is the first Another Rider to be based on a Secondary Rider.
- As with most Another Riders, White Woz as Another Diend is similar to Daiki Kaito. Both of them possessed cunning and manipulative traits, hailed from a different world, and were initially antagonistic towards the heroes. Both of them also commit acts of thievery by stealing a Rider's powers; for Daiki, it's mostly part of his treasure collection and for White Woz, stealing the Future Riders' powers and other Ridewatches.
- Another Diend is the only Another Rider that is dated 2018, due to the timeline reset and the story takes place in September 2018.
- His method of transformation by swallowing a transformation trinket into his mouth is similar to the Energy Dopant.
