4
5Kamen Riders from a future that normally shouldn't exist, whom Sougo and Geiz encounter. They exist in the same AlternateTimeline that White Woz hails from, one where Geiz defeated Zi-O on the Day of Oma. As such, their existence depends on the original timeline ''not'' coming to pass.
6
7[[foldercontrol]]
8
9[[folder:Overall]]
10* FighterMageThief: The three future riders can be considered this.
11** Shinobi is the Thief of the trio, because of his speed, agility and skills as a ninja.
12** Quiz is the Mage of the trio, because of his powers to use quizes to shock enemies and lack of power or speed compared to the other two.
13** Kikai is the Fighter of the trio, because of his monstrously huge strength and lack of speed.
14* HeroOfAnotherStory: As future Riders, they have their own conflicts to fight in. Shinobi's adventures, at least, were chronicled 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 whose goal is galactic conquest.
15* LivingDream: [[spoiler:These riders seemingly don't exist in the Oma Zi-O timeline but rather than being heroes who arose because Geiz defeats Zi-O, they're Sougo's dreams 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 and him dreaming about a future where a heroic machine defends the humans of his era.]]
16* MyRulesAreNotYourRules: In contrast to the Ridewatches, which erase the existence of the Riders they steal the powers of, the Miridewatches ''affirm'' the creation of the future Riders, and in so doing bring their potential future closer to becoming the one true reality.
17* ProductionForeshadowing: The next series after ''Zi-O'', ''Series/KamenRiderZeroOne'', combines elements from all three future riders. [[spoiler:Since they originated as Sougo's dreams, while ''Zero One'' takes place in the new timeline which Sougo created at the end of the series, they can be considered Zero One prototypes even ''in-universe''.]]
18* PropRecycling: The future Riders reuse parts from past Rider seasons:
19** Kamen Rider Shinobi reuses the head and shoulder pads from the Ride-Players, and the body, legs and arms of the Dark Necrom and Parka Ghost bodies.
20** Kamen Rider Quiz reuses the head from Kamen Rider Ghost and the bodysuit from the Ride-Players.
21** Kamen Rider Kikai reuses one of the Guardian suits from Kamen Rider Build.
22** Kamen Rider Ginga reuses the bodysuit of Fourze Meteor States, with the lower legs coming from Meteor, and the helmet from the Mage suits.
23** Kamen Rider Hattari reuses the Dark Drive suit.
24* SpannerInTheWorks: They, by all rights, ''should not exist'', since Oma Zi-O's rise would mean there aren't any other Riders to succeed him.
25* 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. The ultimate revelation of how Sougo has unwittingly been relating the various Kamen Rider Worlds smooths this out somewhat, moving the future Riders into the realms of parallel rather than alternative timelines.]]
26* TransformationTrinket: All of the future Riders use the Mirai Drivers, which resemble matte black Ziku Drivers. Additionally, each of them has an accessory that can be strapped to the Mirai Driver to transform them. Also, while "Mirai Driver" is the catch-all term for these belts they actually do all have unique names matching their respective rider.
27* 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. The way White Woz tells it, this ''sounds'' like 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.]]
28** [[spoiler:The potential for the Geiz Revive Timeline to come to pass is no longer possible after Sougo and Geiz patch things up, [[RetGone removing White Woz from existence]].]]

31[[folder:Rentaro Kagura/Kamen Rider Shinobi]]
32!!Rentaro Kagura/Kamen Rider Shinobi
33!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Hideya Tawada (live), Yuji Nakata (suit)
34--> ''"Writing the way of Shinobi with the blade of my heart! Kamen Rider Shinobi!"''
35\
36A 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.
37!!!Tropes that apply to him in general
38[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rentaro_kagura.png]]
39* TheAce: The opening for ''Rider Time: Shinobi'' says he's the legendary shinobi and the First Volume has him easily beat Kamen Rider Hattari.
40* ActorAllusion: Kamen Rider Shinobi[=/=]Kagura Rentaro was previously [[Series/ShurikenSentaiNinninger StarNinger]], and if that's not enough, his Rider belt has a spinning shuriken and this soundbyte:
41-->''DARE JA?! ORE JA!!'' '''NIN-JAAAA!!'''
42* AnimalMotifs: Frogs. It's to the point that the theme is a main part of his TransformationSequence.
43* AscendedExtra: He's the protagonist of his own spin-off called ''Rider Time: Shinobi''.
44* BeingGoodSucks: The reason he took up the request to become Another Shinobi in 2019; for all his sense of justice, he was too weak to actually save anyone. He later grows out of it thanks to Sougo.
45* BeneathTheMask: That image of a completely inept, amateurish ninja we've seen for the first half of First Volume? A complete and total charade there to mask the OneManArmy underneath everyone's noses.
46* BewareTheSillyOnes: This seemingly bumbling older brother is more than capable of delivering a world of hurt to anyone foolish enough to provoke him into doing so.
47* BigBrotherInstinct: Is hellbent on protecting his little sister from the Dark Ninja Army. [[spoiler:Especially since she's the current Rainbow Serpent Clan princess.]] And the sibling relationship between him and his sister is quite genuine.
48* BreakoutCharacter: His first appearance was well-received and given positive feedback by fans and viewers, so as a result, Rentaro is the only Future Rider having his own spin-off minseries, ''Rider Time: Shinobi''. He returned once more during ''Series/KamenRiderGeats'' for a TTFC special with Tycoon and the other past Ninja Kamen Riders.
49* BroughtDownToBadass: Even with losing his ability to transform and use ninjutsu, Rentaro is still a very capable fighter.
50* CatchPhrase: He says (as seen above), "Writing the way of Shinobi with the blade of my heart! Kamen Rider Shinobi!" after his transformation. Just before performing his FinishingMove, Shinobi proclaims "[[PreAssKickingOneLiner Going Forth!]]"
51* ChildhoodFriends: He and his sister Iroha were friends with Isamichi when they were young.
52* ExperiencedProtagonist: Is already a ninja few can hope to ever compare to by the time we meet him again in his series.
53* HeroicBSOD: The combination of losing his ninja powers, failing to prevent Irona from getting kidnapped, ''and'' Isamichi dying to save his life renders Rentaro completely depressed for a good chunk of the ''Kamen Rider Tycoon Meets Kamen Rider Shinobi'' special.
54* HesBack: In the ''Kamen Rider Tycoon Meets Kamen Rider Shinobi'' special, he's able to transform again after witnessing Keiwa's resolve.
55* MySisterIsOffLimits: Downplayed; he's noticeably uncomfortable when Isamichi talks about his crush on Iroha, but he never tries to stop Isamichi from dating her either.
56* NiceGuy: A kind and strong-willed young man who desires justice. Unfortunately for 2019 Rentaro, he's too weak to be effective, but he gets better in 2022.
57* ObfuscatingStupidity: And ''how''; he 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.
58* 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 hide his face from sight. And Isamichi actually falls for it!
59* PerpetualPoverty: Iroha complains about his low salary, which regularly gets their power cut. Though this is due to Rentaro cutting work to protect her and getting his pay docked as a result.
60* 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.
61* PurpleIsPowerful: While more prominent in his Rider form, his civilian clothes has traces of purple. His energy aura is also in purple too.
62* 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.
63* TemporalParadox: His becoming Kamen Rider Shinobi. Becoming Another Shinobi in 2019 allowed him to meet Sougo, whose moral support gave him the courage to fight as Kamen Rider Shinobi in the future. Yet Another Shinobi's powers came from his future Kamen Rider self to begin with, completing the loop.
64* TheUnchosenOne: [[spoiler: He's only a [[BodyDouble Shadow Warrior]] for Shinobi, a substitute till Iroha, the real inheirtor, turns 18 to take over.]]
65* WillfullyWeak: Has the skills that would make him the ultimate ninja, yet consistently puts up the image of being the opposite. Best demonstrated in the first episode when during a match with Iroha, he seemingly fibs on using [[PlayingWithFire a fire technique]]. Later in that same episode, he effectively uses this very same move to cancel out Kamen Rider Hattari's own ice ninpou, allowing Shinobi to overpower and defeat him.
66!!!Tropes exclusive to him as Kamen Rider Shinobi
67[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kamenridershinobi.png]]
68[[caption-width-right:210:''Dare ja?! Ore ja! Ninja! Shinobi kenzan![[note]]Who's there?! I'm there! The Ninja's here! Shinobi has arrived![[/note]]'']]
69* BlowYouAway: The Megaton Ninpo is able to create a cyclone.
70* CoolSword: His unnamed Ninjato.
71* DoppelgangerAttack: Rentaro creates multiple clones alongside him to attack together. They are also able to perform Ninjutsu techniques.
72* FragileSpeedster: Overlapping with SquishyWizard. Among of the Future Riders, he is the fastest in terms of speed and agility. Combined with his wide array of ninja skills, he is a force to be reckoned with.
73* FrogNinja: A giant frog called "Oogama" appears in his Henshin sequence, and [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin he's a ninja]].
74* FinishingMove: '''Finish Ninpo''': Shinobi attacks his opponents in high speed movements while shrouded in purple aura. And there are variations of his move:
75** In his first appearance in Zi-O, Shinobi does a combination of punches before doing a spinning kick.
76** In his battle against Hattari, Shinobi makes a combination of slashes with his Ninjato before doing a spinning final slash.
77** In the battle against Yaminin, Shinobi uses '''Seibai Ninpo''', a combination of Strong Ninpo and Megaton Ninpo that sends his Yaminin flying, before [[DoppelgangerAttack summoning multiple clones of himself to attack Yaminin all at once]], using two clones to launch Yaminin even higher, and finally finishing Yaminin with a bicycle kick shrouded in aura, sending Yaminin crashing down to earth.
78* HighlyVisibleNinja: He has bright purple armor, which makes him stand out quite a lot. Of course this is in a brightly lit environment, if the area is dark and/or at night he'd be considered less visible.
79* HumongousMecha: His transformation is provided courtesy of a giant robot frog called the Kuragane Oogama [[note]] "Iron Giant Toad" in English[[/note]] Which supplies weapons, armor and other equipment.
80* InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja: The basis of his Rider design is the appeal of ninja.
81* MakingASplash: Can fire powerful jets of water.
82* ReverseGrip: He wields his Ninjato this way.
83* NinjaLog: Rentaro quickly substitutes himself with another object such as a scarecrow or a ragdoll, allowing Rentaro to flee and/or hide.
84* ScarfOfAsskicking: Possesses a shiny purple scarf in his Rider form due to his ninja motif.
85* SpinAttack: Shinobi can unleash a spinning slash that creates an aura image of a giant shuriken spinning.
86* StockNinjaWeaponry: As expected of a ninja character, Shinobi uses his Ninjato as his weapons and is shown to use shurikens as well.
87* TechnicolorFire: The flames he produced are purple in color.

91!!Mondo Douan/Kamen Rider Quiz
92!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Katsuhiro Suzuki (live), Yuji Nakata (suit)
93--> ''"Saving the world,[[note]]Sekai[[/note]] and obtaining the right answer![[note]]Seikai[[/note]] Kamen Rider Quiz!"''
94\
95A 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 game-themed Kamen Rider Quiz.
96!!!Tropes that apply to him in general
97[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mondo_douan.png]]
98* TheDandy: Fashion is even mentioned in his transformation jingle!
99* InsufferableGenius: He is a genius in and out of combat and will let people know it every time.
100* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mondo is very cocky, referring to both Geiz and Sougo as "twerps" after beating them. But he came to the past [[spoiler:to find out if his father truly loved his mom and help his sick mother move on.]]
101* ManlyTears: He starts crying when he learned that [[spoiler:his father truly did love his mother.]]
102* MaybeEverAfter: Familial, rather than romantic. While Mondo had no intention of trying to change the past, [[spoiler:his broken wristwatch begins working again when all's said and done, suggesting that perhaps his father had a change of heart and the future waiting for him back in 2040 is brighter than the one he left]].
103* MeaningfulName: His name is a [[PunnyName pun]] on the Japanese words for "Question" (問答/Mondō) and "Answer" (答案/Tōan).
104* MommasBoy: A positive example as he seems to deeply care for his mom. [[spoiler:Even traveling to 2019 because of White Woz to help her.]]
105* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: Averted. Quiz states he has no intention to change the past.
106* TragicKeepsake: He wears a broken wristwatch that used to belong to his father. [[spoiler:As a result of Mondo going to the past, it's working again.]]
107!!!Tropes exclusive to him as Kamen Rider Quiz
108[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kamenriderquiz.png]]
109[[caption-width-right:210:''Fashion! Passion! Question! Quiz!'']]
110* 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.
111* ConfusionFu: His fighting style in a nutshell. And he is ''very'' good at it.
112* CuttingTheKnot: While Quiz does have a vast memory of trivia, he instead asks questions with answers he can manipulate ("Will your attack miss?" True if he dodges).
113* DeadlyGame: His to play a quiz game with his opponents, with the punishment for a wrong answer being a powerful and painful electric shock.
114* DifficultButAwesome: His primary power is this. While extremely effective and making him insanely hard to beat in a straight fight, as shown with Kamen Rider Woz later on, they require a good bit of skill and intelligence to use, something Mondo has in abundance.
115* FinishingMove: '''Final Quiz Flash''': Quiz jumps in the air only to be hidden by a giant sign with two panels marked "O" and "X" respectively. He then breaks through the correct panel with his foot, resulting in the two symbols combining, and [[DivingKick kicks]] the enemy.
116* PrimaryColorChampion: His color scheme is Red and Blue with hints of white.
117* SigilSpam: His Rider form is ''covered'' with question marks.
118* SquishyWizard: His official stats reveal he is actually a bit weaker than Geiz and Zi-O, but physical combat is rarely an issue when simply asking questions is all he needs to hurt them.
119* StoryBreakerPower: His powers let him hurt opponents by asking them questions they can't answer, which combined with his extensive knowledge, means he'd be essentially impossible to beat in a straight fight. It's a bit fitting that White Woz can only take away his power and encourages attempts to do so when he's untransformed.

122[[folder:Rento Makina/Kamen Rider Kikai]]
123!!Rento Makina/Kamen Rider Kikai
124!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Jingi Irie (live), Yuji Nakata (suit)
125--> ''"A body of steel, and fire in my heart! Kamen Rider Kikai!"''
126\
127A 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.
128!!!Tropes that apply to him in general
129[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rento_makina.png]]
130* ActorAllusion:
131** Rento's actor, Jingi Irie, previously played the rebooted version of Kikaider.
132** Kikai having [[AnIcePerson ice manipulation]] abilities is an obvious reference to his actor's other previous role as [[Series/KaitouSentaiLupinrangerVsKeisatsuSentaiPatranger Zamigo Delma]].
133* DeceptivelyHumanRobots: If not for his [[TheStoic monotone speech]] and occasional jerky movement, it wouldn't be clear he [[spoiler:was a machine]].
134* FriendToAllChildren: Kids love him, and as seen with him showing off his powers in front of them, he has a soft spot for them as well.
135* GoneHorriblyWrong: His attempt to recharge himself at the end of his debut episode goes south when [[spoiler:the signal is hacked]], causing him to [[spoiler:be infected with Humanoise programming]], go berserk and attack Sougo.
136* HeelFaceTurn: #24 reveals that Rento [[spoiler:was initially part of the Humanoise invasion party]]. [[FriendToAllChildren Befriending a group of children]] was enough to get him to switch sides.
137* ImaginaryFriend: [[spoiler:He's the physical manifestation of Sougo's only childhood friend, the toy robot he used to play with as a boy, unknowingly created by Sougo with his latent time manipulation powers.]]
138* InSpiteOfANail: If his timeline came true, the world in 2068 would have been saved from Oma Zi-O's rule, yet another fifty-three years down the road the world was still taken over anyways, this time by the Machine Lifeform Humanoise. It's at least somewhat of an improvement, as unlike Oma Zi-O, Kikai is capable of standing against them.
139* MeaningfulName: His last name, Makina, is a pun on the word "machina".
140* PhlebotinumRebel: Rento was originally [[spoiler:one of the Humanoise who hunts down humanity to near extinction until he switched sides]] and became a Kamen Rider to defend a group of children from his former brethren.
141* PickYourHumanHalf: Makina looks completely Human on the outside, but has a monotone voice and moves somewhat clumsily. It makes sense, since [[spoiler:he's a machine]].
142* ShoutOut: His rider name, clothes, motif, and actor are an homage to ''Series/{{Kikaider}}''.
143** One of the words the Kikai Driver cries out during transformation is "Hakai!", which alludes to Kikaider's arch enemy Hakaider. This lore also representing one of his finishing moves, Kikai Will Destroy (Kikai de Hakai da), is a pun on both Kikaider and Hakaider.
144* TokenNonHuman: He is the only future rider that isn't human, but is a Humanoise instead.
145!!!Tropes exclusive to him as Kamen Rider Kikai
146[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kamenriderkikai.png]]
147[[caption-width-right:210:''Dekai! Hakai! Goukai![[note]]Dynamic! Destructive! Heroic![[/note]] Kamen Rider Kikai!'']]
148* BlingOfWar: Much like [[Series/KamenRiderBuild Kamen Rider Grease]], who his mugshot resembles, Kikai is a gold-colored Rider.
149* FinishingMove: By touching both sides of the Kikai Driver, Kamen Rider Kikai can initiate one of three attacks:
150** '''Kikai De Hakai Da'''[[note]]Kikai Will Destroy[[/note]]: Kikai generates electrified ice energy from his belt and channels it through his right foot as he executes a spin kick.
151** '''Ultimetal Finish''': Kikai channels his electrified ice energy through his right arm and executes a punch powerful enough to destroy the object.
152** '''Fullmetal The End''': Kikai generates a large amount of electrified ice energy throughout his upper body and jumps high, and the energy transfers to his right foot and solidifies into a large icicle that penetrates the target.
153* MightyGlacier: Being a robot, Kikai is stronger and tougher than even Zi-O and Geiz combined, but he’s also the second heaviest rider in the franchise and the heaviest of the Heisei Era. [[labelnote:*]] 1.8 tons, surpassed only by [[Film/{{KamenRiderJ}} Kamen Rider J's]] Jumbo Formation at ''836 tons.'' To compare, the giant [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Suika Arms]] doesn’t weigh 1/3 of Kikai[[/labelnote]] and thus far slower than them.

156[[folder:Kamen Rider Ginga]]
157!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/TomokazuSugita (voice), Yuji Nakata (suit)
158--> ''"Decay is the fate of all things."''
159[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/krzio_ginga.png]]
160[[caption-width-right:210:''Gin-gin-gira-gira-Galaxy! Uchū no kanata no Fantasy! Kamen Rider Ginga!'']]
161
162\
163An extraterrestrial 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.
164
165While technically not part of the same "Future Riders" group as the other three (as he's not from the future and not heroic), he's listed here because he does have some aspects in common (he's a CanonForeigner that Woz gets a Miridewatch from).
166----
167* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: He believes that his power gives him the right to rule everything. Considering how powerful he is, it is hard to challenge him.
168* BadassCape: He wears a purple cape.
169* BadassBoast:
170--> '''Kamen Rider Ginga:''' "I am of the cosmos. The laws of your world do not apply to me. There is but one everlasting law that applies to all throughout the universe..."
171* CameFromTheSky: Arrived to Earth from a meteor sometime in the future.
172* CastingGag: Two cases: His voice actor is the voice of the Kivat family in ''Series/KamenRiderKiva'', as the ''Kiva'' arc is Ginga's debut episode. Additionally, his voice actor is also the titular hero of ''Series/UltramanGinga'', as well as the fact that both characters are from the future.
173* CelestialBody: Ginga's body has stars, planets, and the Sun itself.
174* DiabolusExNihilo: 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 defeated 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.) [[spoiler:Though he is used to show that time is being warped, which is a major focus in the Kabuto arc right after.]]
175* TheDreaded: Even Swartz showed signs of fear of his presence.
176* EnemyMine: Ginga is so powerful, that it takes the combination of the heroes, [[GodzillaThreshold along with the Time Jackers and Another Kiva with her followers]] fighting together just to barely defeat him.
177* EvilSoundsDeep: He possesses a very deep voice, which just reinforces how threatening he is.
178* FinishingMove: 3 of his own: Gigantic Ginga, Dynamite Sunshine and [[{{Engrish}} Strike the Planet 9]].
179* FlyingSaucer: Ginga's motif involves [=UFOs=].
180* {{Foil}}:
181** To Oma Zi-O, as both are beings who aim to dominate all they see with their immense power. While Oma Zi-O is a golden-armored king with power over time that the Time Jackers seek to create, Ginga is a purple-armored invader with power over space that even the Time Jackers fear.
182** 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 murderer who only cares about getting her way.]]
183* GalacticConqueror: His ultimate goal is to conquer the universe itself...
184* GenericDoomsdayVillain: He is 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.
185* GravityMaster: Supplementary materials reveal him to be able to manipulate gravity for flight and offense, demonstrated in combat by forcing Woz’s scythe to be stuck in the ground.
186* KnightOfCerebus: The only future Rider to be an outright villain, almost as powerful as Oma Zi-O, and at the same time poses a serious threat to both the Riders and Time Jackers. Even Swartz can only shudder in fear the instant he felt Ginga's presence on Earth. Ginga would go as far to [[CurbStompBattle singlehandedly manhandle Zi-O Trinity]] with barely little to no effort at all.
187* MasterOfAll: Ginga is more agile than Shinobi, his energy manipulation makes Quiz's powers look like child's play, he is also 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.
188* MythologyGag: He and the arc he's in are essentially one to criticisms of the plot of Kiva as a whole, and in particular to its infamous ending, in which alien vampires from the future appear without explanation just to give the show a BolivianArmyEnding.
189* OutsideContextProblem: He just suddenly appeared out of nowhere and has no ties with the Time Jackers, Another Riders, Sougo's powers nor is he even a part of Geiz Revive's powers like the other future riders. In fact the only reason he can be considered a Future Rider is because he uses a Mirai Driver like them.
190* PersonOfMassDestruction: His energy manipulation power gives him the ability to create ridiculously powerful beam attacks which can cause massive explosions.
191* PowerOfTheSun: He gets his energy from the sun. When storm clouds came in and covered the sun after taking a major hit, he turned into a crystallized statue and turned back when the sun came back out.
192* PurpleIsPowerful: He is powerful enough to overpower Trinity Form without even having to touch him.
193* 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 [=GingaFinaly=] Miridewatch.
194* TheSocialDarwinist: See his BadassBoast above. He believes that only one's own strength gives them the right to rule over everything else.
195* SuperPowerLottery: Almost as much as Oma Zi-O. He is capable of flight, traveling through space, can manipulate gravity, and manipulate energy which he can use to create powerful energy blasts and force-fields. In his case, it is 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 has been weakened by darkness and even then, he seems to survive and just chooses to leave.
196* WellIntentionedExtremist: It is implied through his dialogue before being temporally crystallized under a shade that his intention is to stop Another Kiva. Or maybe the real Kiva. It's not particularly clear.
197* TheWorfEffect: To show the extent of his threat, he shoots down Another Kiva without so much of a glance and beats up Zi-O Trinity with little effort.
