Kamen Rider Zi-O (仮面ライダージオウ, Kamen Raidā Jiō) is a Japanese tokusatsu drama in the Toei Company's Kamen Rider franchise. It is the twenty-ninth Kamen Rider series overall as well as the twentieth and final installment in the Heisei period.[1] The show premiered on September 2, 2018, following the finale of Kamen Rider Build, joining Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger and later, the miniseries Super Sentai Strongest Battle, followed by Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger, in the Super Hero Time line-up.

The series has a time travel/multiverse motif while paying tribute to all of the previous Heisei-era Kamen Riders due to being a spiritual sequel to Kamen Rider Decade. The series and related films also feature returning actors reprising their roles from the previous Heisei series.

Sougo Tokiwa, a high school senior born in the year 2000, dreams of one day becoming a king. Suddenly, he meets a mysterious girl hailing from the year 2068, named Tsukuyomi, who comes with an ominous warning: Sougo will become Ohma Zi-O, the tyrannical Overlord of Time. Despite being troubled by his potential fate, Sougo becomes Kamen Rider Zi-O to save the space-time continuum from the Time Jackers, a group seeking to alter the history of the Heisei Kamen Riders for their ends. He is aided in his quest by Geiz Myokoin, a resistance fighter also from 2068 capable of becoming Kamen Rider Geiz who initially intended to kill Sougo to prevent his future tyranny, and a self-titled prophet named Woz, who wants the youth to become the tyrant Ohma Zi-O, who later gains the power to become Kamen Rider Woz. Along their journey, Sougo and his friends meet several Kamen Riders from the past and their allies; earning their trust and obtaining their powers.

Following his high school graduation, Sougo discovers that Swartz, the Time Jackers' leader, is Tsukuyomi's older brother and was manipulating both the Riders and his fellow Jackers in his plan to fuse the entirety of the Kamen Rider multiverse into a single, unified world to destroy it and save his world. Despite their best efforts, Sougo and his allies fail to stop Swartz until the former accepts his destiny and becomes Ohma Zi-O to destroy him. However, instead of taking control of the world as foretold of him, Sougo renounces his powers to undo Swartz's damage; creating a new reality where he lives in peace with Geiz, Tsukuyomi, and the other Time Jackers.

Main article: List of Kamen Rider Zi-O episodes

As the show pays tribute to the Heisei period Kamen Riders, each tribute episode title consists of a short phrase related to a particular Heisei Rider series and a year relevant to it. Throughout the series, Zi-O's predecessor, Kamen Rider Decade's, involvement steadily becomes more prevalent, with "*" denoting episodes where his or his associate Kamen Rider Diend's involvement overlapped with another Rider's tribute episode.

  • This series is divided into four arcs:
    • Episode 1-16 - Birth of Zi-O: This arc introduces most of the main characters and the plot. It also pays tribute to Kamen Rider Build, Ex-Aid, Fourze, Faiz, Wizard, OOO, Gaim, and Ghost*.
    • Episode 17-30 - Ohma's Day: This arc features White Woz, who seeks to create Geiz Revive using the power of three future Riders, and the preparation of Ohma's Day. It also features tributes to Kamen Rider Ryuki and Blade*, as well as delves into Sougo's past.
    • Episode 31-40 - Road to the King: This arc delves into Tsukuyomi's past as she regains her memories. It also features tributes to Kamen Rider Agito, Hibiki, Kiva, Kabuto*, and Den-O.
    • Episode 41-49 - The New Lord*: This sees Swartz's real plan come to light and Sougo becoming Ohma Zi-O. It also features tributes to Kamen Rider Drive and the movie-exclusive Riders.
