History Characters / KamenRiderOutsidersZeinAndAssociates

* BewareTheSuperman: Zein is one of the, if not, most realistic and disturbing examples of the trope not just for the entirety of the franchise, but for {{toku}}satsu as a whole. It pretty much embodies all the worst traits of all Kamen Riders, taking their sense of justice into subversion and tyranny. [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Tsukasa]] and [[Series/KamenRiderZiO Ohma Zi-O]] were already menaces in their own right since they all use the powers of every previous Rider, Zein can do the same, taken to the logical extremes. Even otherworldly villains like the [[Series/KamenRiderGotchard Hundred Organization]] aren't safe.

* BewareTheSuperman: Zein exists solely to represent all the worst traits of every heroic Kamen Rider; its usage of the Zein Cards through the namesake Rider is meant to picture the idea of the Kamen Riders' willingness to use their powers for ''evil'' instead [[KnightTemplar for the sake of a greater good]].

** Envy: As shown in episode 33 of ''Gotchard'', Zein doesn't take too kindly to competition with other villains such as Hundred.

* PayEvilUntoEvil: Zein rewards villains that it comes across with -- ranging from brutal and grisly beatdowns to slow and painful deaths imaginable, no matter how they deserve every moment of it and [[AllCrimesAreEqual regardless of the severity]] of their transgressions. Just ask Banno, Mimei, and the yakuza who transformed into a Ride Player caught terrorizing random bystanders.

* NoNonsenseNemesis: Zein's very presence alone is what makes ''Outsiders'' as one of the darkest spin-offs in the franchise, and its influence is even felt in subsequent seasons and beyond. Zein never engages in comedic antics, makes no bones in its brutality towards any opposition, and is straightforward in its subversive views on justice.

* PayEvilUntoEvil: Zein's idea of punishing villains is through the most barbaric way possible. The namesake Rider's brutal beating of Banno is to serve as [[MakeAnExampleOfThem making an example]] of both the Ark and Foundation X.
