----
See Characters/KamenRiderZeroOneMetsubouJinraiNET for tropes related to Ark.
* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: The [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate Dharkon]] (Darz in the Japanese version) to Zein's Galeem. And like Galeem though, Zein is [[LightIsNotGood anything but benevolent]] as it is shown to be despotic in its crusade against malice, and the prospect of a world of [[WorldOfSilence eternal benevolence]] [[TotalitarianUtilitarian and]] {{order|IsNotGood}} would essentially deprive Ark of the malice needed to sustain its existence. Dharkon seeks to engulf all life in darkness, whereas Ark is [[EvilEvolves empowered]] by human evil and will continue to exist [[AsLongAsThereIsEvil so long as evil continue to fester within humans]].
* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: The introduction of [[spoiler:Zein]] seeks to deconstruct this trope, giving Ark a good reason to fear its very presence and influence upon the world. The idea of another AI seeking to establish a TotalitarianUtilitarian utopia will essentially rob the Ark of the malice to sustain its own existence, weakening it and eventually may cease to exist.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Ark is visibly shocked after seeing Desast becoming a Kamen Rider in his own right; not taking into account that Desast chose to ScrewDestiny instead of playing along with its predictions.
* EvilCounterpart: To Zein. Zein is a supposedly BenevolentAI [[spoiler:with a [[DarkMessiah messiah complex]]]] that seeks to study human benevolence, whereas Ark is an AI corrupted by human malice. Ark seeks nothing more but to [[OmnicidalManiac wipe out all life on Earth]], while Zein seeks to establish a [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans utopia of eternal peace and order]]. [[spoiler:On the other hand, Zein's benevolence is further put into question as it becomes [[TheComputerIsYourFriend more despotic]] in its stance against human malice, to the point [[OrderIsNotGood its methods]] are becoming [[BewareTheSuperman more logically extreme]] as it starts to be [[HeWhoFightsMonsters becoming no better]] than Ark's genocidal tendencies]]. This is subverted in episode 4 once Zein is revealed to be EvilAllAlong.
* FinalSolution: [[spoiler:Like Zein, Ark also seeks to exterminate all heroic Riders that stand in its way of spreading malice.]]
* MoralMyopia: Ark's hatred towards Zein could also boil down to this. Given the former tried to wipe out all humanity because of their potential capacity for malice since it is empowered by every aspect of human evil, it hates the idea of [[TheComputerIsYourFriend another A.I.]], let alone one with a [[DarkMessiah messiah complex]] would plan to do the same thing [[spoiler:only for the sake of humanity's salvation]]. Ark's fear of Zein is basically out of preserving its own existence over principle like Gai's.
* OrderVersusChaos: Order Versus Malice to be more precise. Ark is the malice incarnate, opposing the BenevolentAI [[KnightTemplar Zein]], who seeks to restore order to the world and its [[OrderIsNotGood idea of doing]] so is taken [[spoiler:to a [[BewareTheSuperman more]] [[JudgeJuryAndExecutioner logical]] [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans extreme]]]].
* SoLastSeason: A villainous example. Ark's predictive ability still cannot take account any [[OutsideContextProblem irregularities]] on anything it foresees, like [[spoiler:Desast]] becoming a Rider in his own right, [[spoiler:when the latter [[ScrewDestiny further asserted his defiance]] of Ark's predictions]].
* VillainHasAPoint: When possessing Horobi again in episode 4 Ark takes its time mocking Horobi being a complete fool for blindly following Zein's ideals. While it's not done in a KickTheDog manner, this is to show that Ark is proven right that all of Zein's benevolent pretenses are [[EvilAllAlong nothing but smoke and mirrors]].

[[folder:Tropes applying to the Outsiders in general]]
* BoxedCrook: Deconstructed. Foundation X did not bother to keep their test subjects under their leash after reviving past villain to conscript them as Outsiders, this is best shown with [[spoiler:Desast disobeying the Foundation's orders and Horobi's defection to Zein's side]]. Although this is played straight on Banno's case after he managed to store his data on Brain's tablet and smartphone, thus allowing himself to act as a bug while Brain acts as TheMole while overhearing Zein's inner circle.
* CorruptedCharacterCopy: They act as the villainous equivalents of the Showa era resistance groups like the [[Series/KamenRider Anti-Shocker Union]] and the [[Series/KamenRiderV3 Destron Hunters]], who are mostly consisting of youths (and law enforcement officers for the latter) who support their respective series' Riders against the evil organization they are fighting. The Outsiders are Kamen Rider villains from the Heisei and Reiwa eras gathered together by a NebulousEvilOrganization to prepare for war against [[TheComputerIsYourFriend a despotic artificial intelligence]] seeking world domination.
* LegionOfDoom: They are group of ''Kamen Rider'' villains that are recruited by Foundation X to oppose Zein.
* LaResistance: A villainous example. Foundation X's Project Outsiders is about gathering ''Kamen Rider'' villains from previous seasons to oppose [[TheComputerIsYourFriend Zein]], an artificial intelligence with a [[DarkMessiah messiah complex]] seeking to establish a utopia free of human evil.
* VillainProtagonist: Each Outsider have an episode focused on them:
** Episode 1 focuses on Takeshi Asakura's perspective as he unwillingly reclaimed his Advent Deck while trying to escape the authorities after a bank robbery that went horribly wrong.
** Episode 2 focuses on a revived Desast renewing his rivalry with Ren.
** Episode 3 revolves on a revived Banno confronting Horobi.
** Episode 4 now shifts to Brain's perspective as he learns the truth about Zein's goal.

And like Galeem though, Zein is [[LightIsNotGood anything but benevolent]] as it is shown to be despotic in its crusade against malice, and the prospect of a world of [[WorldOfSilence eternal benevolence]] [[TotalitarianUtilitarian and]] {{order|IsNotGood}} would essentially deprive Ark of the malice needed to sustain its existence. Dharkon seeks to engulf all life in darkness, whereas Ark is [[EvilEvolves empowered]] by human evil and will continue to exist [[AsLongAsThereIsEvil so long as evil continue to fester within humans]].
* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: The introduction of [[spoiler:Zein]] seeks to deconstruct this trope, giving Ark a good reason to fear its very presence and influence upon the world. The idea of another AI seeking to establish a TotalitarianUtilitarian utopia will essentially rob the Ark of the malice to sustain its own existence, weakening it and eventually may cease to exist.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Ark is visibly shocked after seeing Desast becoming a Kamen Rider in his own right; not taking into account that Desast chose to ScrewDestiny instead of playing along with its predictions.
* EvilCounterpart: To Zein. Zein is a supposedly BenevolentAI [[spoiler:with a [[DarkMessiah messiah complex]]]] that seeks to study human benevolence, whereas Ark is an AI corrupted by human malice. Ark seeks nothing more but to [[OmnicidalManiac wipe out all life on Earth]], while Zein seeks to establish a [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans utopia of eternal peace and order]]. [[spoiler:On the other hand, Zein's benevolence is further put into question as it becomes [[TheComputerIsYourFriend more despotic]] in its stance against human malice, to the point [[OrderIsNotGood its methods]] are becoming [[BewareTheSuperman more logically extreme]] as it starts to be [[HeWhoFightsMonsters becoming no better]] than Ark's genocidal tendencies]]. This is subverted in episode 4 once Zein is revealed to be EvilAllAlong.
* FinalSolution: [[spoiler:Like Zein, Ark also seeks to exterminate all heroic Riders that stand in its way of spreading malice.]]
* MoralMyopia: Ark's hatred towards Zein could also boil down to this. Given the former tried to wipe out all humanity because of their potential capacity for malice since it is empowered by every aspect of human evil, it hates the idea of [[TheComputerIsYourFriend another A.I.]], let alone one with a [[DarkMessiah messiah complex]] would plan to do the same thing [[spoiler:only for the sake of humanity's salvation]]. Ark's fear of Zein is basically out of preserving its own existence over principle like Gai's.
* OrderVersusChaos: Order Versus Malice to be more precise. Ark is the malice incarnate, opposing the BenevolentAI [[KnightTemplar Zein]], who seeks to restore order to the world and its [[OrderIsNotGood idea of doing]] so is taken [[spoiler:to a [[BewareTheSuperman more]] [[JudgeJuryAndExecutioner logical]] [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans extreme]]]].
* SoLastSeason: A villainous example. Ark's predictive ability still cannot take account any [[OutsideContextProblem irregularities]] on anything it foresees, like [[spoiler:Desast]] becoming a Rider in his own right, [[spoiler:when the latter [[ScrewDestiny further asserted his defiance]] of Ark's predictions]].
* VillainHasAPoint: When possessing Horobi again in episode 4 Ark takes its time mocking Horobi being a complete fool for blindly following Zein's ideals. While it's not done in a KickTheDog manner, this is to show that Ark is proven right that all of Zein's benevolent pretenses are [[EvilAllAlong nothing but smoke and mirrors]].
