** Apparently his Driver seems to be a modified version, perhaps designed to enhance his power. It's possible he modified his Driver to self-contain all of the Ride Watch powers into itself, so he wouldn't have to carry around a hundred different TransformationTrinkets, which is admittedly a practical idea. It's also possible that for a more [[WatsonianvsDoylist Doylist explanation]], it's so they don't have to make any new toys from the get-go, or so they can sell this second version of the Driver during the third quarter of the show, kind of like the [[Series/KamenRiderBuild Evol Driver]] or [[Series/KamenRiderExAid Buggle Driver]].

** Apparently his Driver seems to be a modified version, perhaps designed to enhance his power.

** After Oma Zi-O conquered everything, the explanation is that apparently there was ''nothing left'' to make new Riders with. He was the only one with Rider powers, and he probably eliminated any evil organizations like Shocker to reduce competition. It's hinted that Geiz is the first Rider to appear since Oma Zi-O rose to power. Also this is why the future Riders (Shinobi, Quiz, and Kikai) are so abnormal. They're apparently from a new timeline, hence why regular Ridewatches don't work with them and why the [=BeyonDriver=] exists; they're a temporal anomaly. They aren't ''supposed'' to exist, and Woz's Driver was designed to deal with them. For a [[WatsonianvsDoylist Doylist explanation]], having Ridewatches of future Riders would mean that the Driver could be hacked to reveal them before the series would air. Series/KamenRiderExAid and Series/KamenRiderGaim only got away with having toys for their successors in crossovers because their [[TransformationTrinket Transformation Trinkets]] have their own sounds separate from their belts, and therefore the belts can't be hacked to reveal future projects. Since Zi-O's belt has pin combos that can be hacked, they can't create a watch for the unreleased Riders.

*** Actually, speaking of the Taisen movies, there's another issue. Tsukasa and Kaito have shown that they aren't affected by the timeline changes (presumably due to coming from different worlds). So how come Tsukasa became a Shocker Rider back in ''Film/SuperHeroTaisenGPKamenRider3'' when he shouldn't have been affected at all?

* The movie basically treats the Heisei Riders like the only Riders that exist. A major Rider fan from a world where they're just a TV show has a room filled with Heisei Rider march but not one Showa Rider, and Tid seems satisfied that he can rule the world if he stops the Heisei Riders from coming into existence as if there aren't a whole bunch more Riders who'd ruin his day if he tried. I know the out-of-universe reason is that it's Heisei Rider tribute as the Heisei Era is ending, but that doesn't make it logical: InUniverse, taking out merely ''some'' the Riders that are out there doesn't give you free license to rule the world; you'd have to deal with all their predecessors, the oldest of which can still Rider Kick you into next week (and has his own film to prove it.) And it's hard to imagine ''such'' a huge Rider fan like Ataru doesn't care even a little about even one Rider before Kuuga. Yeah, they're before his time, but [=DVDs=] are a thing, as are team-up appearances. Not even a little love for Kotaro Minami after ''Decade'' and ''Kamen Rider 3,'' or Takeshi Hongo after his film? Imagine the most obsessed Trekkie you've ever met ''not knowing who Captain Kirk is.''

* Speaking of Kikai, for the Humanoise once they're found out, the producers really should have dusted off some past robot grunt costumes and maybe repainted 'em; even if you know they're robots, Kikai beating up old people doesn't really make for an epic battle! For example, even if there's no good reason for the Dustards from Fourze to be working for Shinobi's unrelated villains, at least it looked good, right?

''Any'' mass-produced robotic enemy (or at least having a design that'd ''look'' robotic with the right repaint) from a TOEI-owned work would do.



* I never got why the writers pulled that in the last couple episodes. All throughout Zi-O it was never about anything like that, and we could even see how their tampering altered time. Characters from different series interacted with no sign of alternate worlds, like OOO characters being in the resistance against Kuroto Dan, or an old acquaintance of Takumi and Kusaka from 555 having gone to the school in Fourze. Another Zi-O made new watches from past Another Riders by finding the former villains/victims around town, clearly not in alternate worlds from each other even though many had had contact with the original Riders they were made from. Then outta nowhere the writers forgot it wasn't Decade's un-plot with AR worlds just 'cause Tsukasa and Kaito are around. The worlds are no longer going to collide due to the powers of the worlds' Riders! ...which I thought they took care of back in 2010. (On top of that, Decade's AR World Riders were ''not'' the originals, usually with different actors and situations, to the very vocal displeasure of those past series. The original Riders were not considered to each occupy an alternate world ''even within Decade.'') It's really disappointing, as one of the things that made us all immediately love Zi-O and consider it an improvement on Decade was not only the original Riders, but it had a story ''all its own'' that ''made sense.'' Why throw away what Zi-O got right and replace it with what Decade got wrong?

** Actually, it is because Swartz has been manipulating the Time Jackers, along with almost everyone else in the series, to fulfill his own personal agenda. The Time Jackers' purpose has never been meant to "dethrone" Ohma Zi-O in the first place. They are just pawns for Swartz's plan to make himself more powerful and become a King himself.

** Late in the season Decade mentioned that the Decade Ridewatch had half of his full power imprinted on it. He might have had only enough power to change into his base form and utilize Ride changes, but not enough to enter Complete Form. Production wise; since Decade Complete Form only features the first nine riders besides himself, the crew felt it would have been expensive for them to make a new suit featuring the Phase Two riders if they didn't use it a lot.

* Here's something regarding Rider Time: Ryuki. What exactly was the reason for the Battle Fight? Sara said she wanted to pick one person out to stop Another Ryuki from killing more people right? So instead of the Rider Battle,she could have just given Shinji his power and memory back. Also, to stop Another Ryuki from killing, she decided that she should have 13 people KILL each other to do it? Granted, she is manipulated by Shiro/Odin, but even then Shiro has no need for the War anymore. This time he is willing to dirty his hands even more by harvesting the life essence of people killed by Another Ryuki. What is the point?

**** Wrong, the Final Villains summoned by Swartz are more powerful than the original ones. They come from the timeline where they have WON. Also, Evolto does not need to go to Phase 4 to use his Black Hole abilities, that means he is more powerful. Ohma Zi-O one hit kills everyone means Ohma Zi-O is STRONG, not the others are weak.

* I forget the episode number/title at this point, but in one episode, everyone uses their SuperMode... except Decade, who looks a bit awkward standing there in his base form alongside Woz Ginga, Geiz Revive, and Grand Zi-O. Did something happen to the Decade Complete Form suit or something?

**This is probably the case, since we've seen summoned Riders get hit and vanish - clearly not killing the originals as that'd change history big-time! Also, if the real riders were actually being snatched out of their times and places, they'd be confused, one minute fighting one of their own series' monsters and now suddenly alongside Zi-O; they always immediately attack Zi-O's opponent and never act like the real characters got surprise-hijacked.

** The way things played out in the finale, the only explanation is that the universe we saw this season wasn't the main timeline. Instead, it's an altered timeline where things played the same, but the interferences by the Time Jackers obviously caused changes (so multiverse theory). This means that the past riders we saw were A.R. riders and all existed in the so call World of Zi-O Decade mentioned a few times, and would have the same personality as their prime counterparts had, which would explain some inconsistencies the show presented such Sento taking the name Takumi in the present and Masato having a more decent personality. The merger of the worlds happened because the Ridewatches started to bleed their powers into this world, and hence the multiverse started to screw up the world. Admittedly I'm pulling this out of nowhere, but it's some what of a theory.

** It can be presumed that the time Mazine traveled to a time before Build's world and the main Rider world combined, as it has been stated in the show that it traveled to 30 September 2017. As for the question on whether the time Mazine can travel to other worlds, I guess so. If the Time Mazine remained in the main Rider world, it would have traveled to a time without the Skywall.

** Generally their worlds are split, but when something happens to connect them, they can visit each other. Movies and such often have villains entering a world to do something and the Rider gives chase, usually to another's world. Just think of them as separate unless something big is going down.

* The finale confuses me. Right near the end, Sougo's final goal is revealed to be [[spoiler: to [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong restore the timeline to the way it was]] before all this, since being king without friends is too lonely for him to bear]]. I get that. But, when he actually goes about it, we see [[spoiler: TheMultiverse restored too]]. Franchise/KamenRider and Franchise/SuperSentai (''especially'' Super Sentai) generally get the ShrugOfGod in terms of what's connected and what isn't; but Riders crossover and connect with each other very frequently (Ghost, Ex-Aid and Build in particular) and it wasn't until the debut of Another Decade that [[spoiler: the main timeline not being standalone has ever come up]]. So, unless it's all just one big Revision, what exactly just went down?

Franchise/KamenRider and Franchise/SuperSentai (''especially'' Super Sentai) generally get the ShrugOfGod in terms of what's connected and what isn't; but Riders crossover and connect with each other very frequently (Ghost, Ex-Aid and Build in particular) and it wasn't until the debut of Another Decade that [[spoiler: the main timeline not being standalone has ever come up]]. So, unless it's all just one big Revision, what exactly just went down?down?
** Well episode 48 states that the Riders were originally all from different universes so it's probably a revision?
