History Characters / KamenRiderZiOFutureRiders

* TemporalParadox: The three future riders seemingly come from the timeline where Geiz defeated Oma Zi-O as Geiz Revive. However to do so Geiz needed their 3 Ridewatches, the existence of which mean that all three riders had their histories altered and never gained their powers in the first place. They are either a subversion of the Grandfather Paradox or may well come from a ''third'' timeline separate from White Woz's. The show seems to have settled on a subversion: that their watches exist actually ''affirms'' their existence, meaning they will become Riders eventually...allowing their powers to be pulled back in time in the first place, creating a inverse of the normal loop usually created by the birth of a Ridewatch. That said, only White Woz can perform this loop since he's from the timeline in question, and thus can draw from it. [[spoiler: Further complicated when it's revealed that the future riders only exist because Sougo's time manipulation powers are creating potential futures without his meaning to.]]

** [[spoiler:As of Blade tribute arc, however, the potential for the Geiz Revive Timeline to come to pass is no longer possible, [[RetGone removing White Woz from existence]].]]

* CoolSword: His as-of-yet unnamed Ninjato.

* FinishingMove: 3 of his own: Gigantic Ginga, Dynamite Sunshine and [[Engrish Strike the Planet 9]].

* NiceGuy: A strong-willed man who desires justice. Unfortunately for 2019 Rentaro, he's too weak to be effective.

* BreakoutCharacter: Rentaro is the only Future Rider having his own spin-off minseries, ''Rider Time: Shinobi''.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: It is implied through his dialogue before being temporally crystallized under a shade that his intention is to stop Another Kiva.

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Other than being voiced by Kivat's voice actor, he has no relevance to the Kiva Arc and basically just comes out of nowhere to announce his presence and interrupt the fight with Another Kiva. He fell from the sky out of nowhere just to be invincible for a minute or two and then die so Woz can get a supermode. Not even a head-fake towards making him a real character or part of the story (of the season or even the episodes he's in.)

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Other than being voiced by Kivat's voice actor, he has no relevance to the Kiva Arc and basically just comes out of nowhere to announce his presence and interrupt the fight with Another Kiva.

* RetGone: 2022 Rentaro was overwritten when his 2019 self became Another Shinobi, despite 2019 Rentaro's resolve to fight with his own strength, this timeline was completely erased.

* RetGone: 2022 Rentaro was temporarily overwritten when his 2019 self became Another Shinobi, but 2019 Rentaro's resolve to fight with his own strength led to his timeline being restored.

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: After getting defeated by Zi-O, Geiz, and Woz, he explodes, and is last seen fleeing the Earth as a pillar of light as some of his essence is used for the [=GingaFinally=] Miridewatch.

A nervous young man who nevertheless possesses a great sense of justice in the present time, who is destined to become a noble, mysterious, and flashy ninja in the year 2022. He transforms into the ninja-themed Kamen Rider Shinobi, who shouldn't ''exist'' normally.

A smug genius with a love for quiz games from the year 2040, who followed White Woz back to 2019 to uncover the truth behind his father's ParentalAbandonment, unaware of White Woz's plan to have Geiz defeat him for his powers. He transforms into the Quiz hame-themed Kamen Rider Quiz, who shouldn't ''exist'' normally.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: A more literal example than most, and ''weaponized.'' One of Quiz's abilities is the power to ask a True[=/=]False Question to his enemies. Should they answer wrong, they'll be damaged by electric shock. Unfortunately for his enemies, ''Quiz'' decides what the answers are.

* CuttingTheKnot: While Quiz does have a vast memory of trivia, he instead asks questions with answers he can manipluate ("Will your attack miss? True if he dodges).

A Humanoise with a change of heart from the year 2121, who fights the Humanoise, human-like androids [[CrapsackWorld that have taken over the world in his era]]. He transforms into the machinery-themed Kamen Rider Kikai, who shouldn't ''exist'' normally.

* ShoutOut: His rider name, clothes, motif, and actor are an homage to Series/{{Kikaider}}.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: He has several characteristics that differ him from the other two future riders that form Geiz Revive's power.
** The previous Future Riders came from times before 2068. Kikai, meanwhile, comes from the year 2121, fifty-three years after 2068.
** In a Meta-example, unlike the previous two Future Riders who are played by former ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' actors who are Rangers on their [[Series/ShurikenSentaiNinninger respective]] [[Series/TokumeiSentaiGobusters shows]], his actor portrayed a [[Series/KaitouSentaiLupinrangerVsKeisatsuSentaiPatranger Sentai villain]] instead.
** Kikai never visits the current age unlike the other future riders. While Shinobi's arc is about his past self and Quiz actually traveled back in time via White Woz. Kikai is never seen in the present day, with Sougo only interacting with him via his DreamingOfThingsToCome power.
** Of the future riders, Kikai is the only one whose story was actually shown and told in his appearance in the main series instead of spin-off material like Shinobi who also was only shown battling against mooks to showcase his power, but not his story.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Unlike the other three Future Riders, Ginga is a ''Dark Rider'' with no ties with the powers of Geiz Revive, and no Another Rider counterpart. [[spoiler:It is revealed in the ''Kabuto Arc'' that he was the result of the space-time continuum being distorted.]]

* VillainProtagonist: Is the last of the Future Riders to appear and is completely unabashed about being an GalacticConqueror.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Unlike the other three Future Riders, Ginga is a ''Dark Rider'' and has no ties with the powers of Geiz Revive. [[spoiler:It is revealed in the ''Kabuto Arc'' that he was the result of the space-time continuum being distorted.]]

* HeroOfAnotherStory: As future Riders, they have their own conflicts to fight in. Shinobi's adventures, at least, will be detailed in his own miniseries on the Toei Tokusatsu Fan club website, while it's unknown what Quiz fights against and Kikai's adventures were shown in the series during his "tribute" arc. The only exception is Ginga, who is a VillainOfAnotherStory; a Dark Rider who aims at conquest.
* LivingDream: [[spoiler: These riders seemingly don't exist on the Oma Zi-O timeline but rather than being heroes who arose because Geiz defeats Zi-O, they're Sougo's dreams and imagination which he is unwittingly bringing into existence. Each has an element of this, most telling of their belts being retooled black Ziku Drivers, but it's most apparent with Kikai, who was born after Sougo was reminded of the toy robot he had as a child then dreamed about a future where a heroic machine defends the humans of his era.]]

* TemporalParadox: The three future riders seemingly come from the timeline where Geiz defeated Oma Zi-O as Geiz Revive. However to do so Geiz needed their 3 Ridewatches, the existence of which mean that all three riders had their histories altered and never gained their powers in the first place. They are either a subversion of the Grandfather Paradox or may well come from a ''third'' timeline, not that of White Woz. The show seems to have settled on a subversion: that their watches exist actually ''affirms'' their existence, meaning they will become Riders eventually...allowing their powers to be pulled back in time in the first place, creating a inverse of the normal loop usually created by the birth of a Ridewatch. That stated, only White Woz can perform this loop since he's from the timeline in question, and thus can draw from it. [[spoiler: Further complicated when it's revealed that the future riders only exist because Sougo's time manipulation powers are creating potential futures without his meaning to.]]

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Of sorts. The more that Zi-O and Geiz interact with these future Riders and bring about the creation of their Miridewatches, the more real their timeline becomes, and the more inevitable that Zi-O's death at Geiz's hand becomes. To hear White Woz tell it, this is a great thing, but the other characters aren't so convinced that his future is as perfect as he makes it out to be.
** [[spoiler:And they were right; turns out White Woz’s future was a future that benefits ''only'' him, as [[DeadlyUpgrade Geiz Revive]], created by the first three Miride Watches, would have killed Geiz in the process.]]

[[caption-width-right:180:''Dare ja?! Ore ja! Ninja! Shinobi kenzan![[note]] Nin-who?! Nin-me! Ninja! Enter the Ninja![[/note]]'']]

A nervous young man who nevertheless has a great sense of justice in the present time, who destined to become a noble, mysterious, and flashy ninja in the year 2022. He transforms into the ninja-themed Kamen Rider Shinobi, who shouldn't ''exist'' normally.

* HighlyVisibleNinja: He has bright purple armor, which makes him standout quite a lot.

* MySisterIsOffLimits: Downplayed as he's noticeably uncomfortable when Isamichi talks about his crush on Iroha but he never tries to stop Isamichi from dating her either.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: YES. He has managed to fool everyone up to and ''including'' his childhood friend and own sister into believing he's incompetent when it comes to anything regarding ninjutsu.
* PaperThinDisguise: Whether dressing up as a ninja referee or a business man, Kagura is clearly seen in disguise, but manages to trick everyone anyways. Kagura even had to use Isamichi's brightly colored ninja scarf to cover hide his face from sight. And Isamichi actually falls for it!
* PerpetualPoverty: Iroha complains that his wage is low that they regularly get their power cut. Though this is due to Rentaro cutting work to protect her and getting his pay docked as a result.
* PlayingWithFire: His Strong Ninpo which can fire a stream of purple flame from his hand. Shinobi can also coat his body in his flames to shield him from attacks.
* PurpleIsPowerful: While more prominent in his Rider form, his civilian clothes carry some too. His energy aura is also in purple too.
* RetGone: 2022 Rentaro was temporarily overwritten when his 2019 self became Another Shinobi, but 2019 Rentaro's resolution to fight with his own strength lead to his timeline being restored.

* SpinAttack: Shinobi can use a spinning slash that creates an aura image of a giant shuriken spinning.
* StockNinjaWeaponry: As expected of a ninja character, Shinobi uses his Ninjato as his main weapon and is shown to use shurikens as well.

* ActorAllusion: Rento's actor, Jingi Irie, previously played the rebooted version of Kikaider.

* BadassBaritone: Has a very deep voice which just add to his badassery and makes him even more threatening.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Unlike the other three Future Riders, Ginga is a ''Dark Rider'' and has no ties with the powers of Geiz Revive. [[spoiler:It is revealed in the ''Kabuto Arc'' that he was result of the space-time continuum being distorted.]]

** And to Yuko Kitajima/Another Kiva as he appeared in her arc. They both think that their power allow them to take control of the world. [[spoiler:But while Ginga is transparent on his intentions, Yuko lies to everyone around her including herself that she was wronged when she's just a psycho only cares about getting her way.]]

** [[spoiler:By the time of #29/#30, however, the potential for the Geiz Revive Timeline to come to pass is no longer possible, [[RetGone removing White Woz from existence]].]]

A Kamen Rider from a fracture in the space-time continuum. He arrived on Earth through a meteor and intends on conquering the planet along with the entire universe.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Believes that his power gives him the right to rule everything. Considering how powerful he is, it's hard to challenge him.

* GenericDoomsdayVillain: He's an evil Kamen Rider who wants to conquer the universe and that's all we know of him. He doesn't even have a civilian identity to speak of.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Unlike the other three Future Riders, Ginga is a ''Dark Rider'' and has no ties with the powers of Geiz Revive. [[spoiler:Its reveled in the ''Kabuto Arc'' that he was result of the space-time continuum being distorted.]]
* MasterOfAll: He's more agile than Shinobi, his energy manipulation makes Quiz's powers look like child's play, he's stronger than Kikai and to top it off his stats even surpass Zi-O Trinity to the point where his Miridewatch can bypass the restrictions on destroying Anotherwatches.

* PurpleIsPowerful: Strong enough to overpower Trinity Form without even having to touch him.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: After getting beaten by Zi-O, Geiz, and Woz, he explodes, and is last seen fleeing the Earth as a pillar of light as some of his essence is used for the [=GingaFinally=] Miredewatch.

* SuperPowerLottery: Almost as much as Oma Zi-O. He can fly, capable of space travel, can manipulate gravity, and manipulate energy which he can use to create powerful energy blasts and force-fields. In his case, it's a bit justified since Ginga is an alien and thus has power far surpassing that of a human being. The riders only defeat him by attacking him after he's been weakened by darkness and even then, he seems to survive and just chooses to leave.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: It's implied through his dialogue before being temporally crystallized under a shade that his intention is to stop Another Kiva.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Unlike the other three Future Riders, Ginga is a ''Dark Rider'' and has no ties with the powers of Geiz Revive.

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: After getting beaten by Zi-O, Geiz, and Woz, he explodes, and is last seen fleeing the Earth as a pillar of light as some of his essence is used for the [=GingaFinally=] Miredewatch

A Kamen Rider from an unspecified depths of the cosmos. He arrived on Earth through a meteor and intends on conquering the planet along with the entire universe.

* EnemyMine: Ginga is so powerful, that it takes the combination of the heroes, along with the time jackers and Another Kiva with her followers fighting together just to barely defeat him.

[[caption-width-right:180:''Dare ja?! Ore ja! Ninja! Shinobi kenzan![[note]]Who's there?! I'm there! The Ninja's here! Shinobi has arrived![[/note]]'']]

* TransformationTrinket: All of the future Riders possessed their own Mirai Drivers, which resembles the Ziku-Driver but in all silver color, along with their own unique item attachments in each respective time periods.

!! ???/Kamen Rider Ginga

* TheWorfEffect: To show the extent of his threat, he blows up Another Kiva without so much of a glance and beats up Zi-O Trinity with little effort.
