Kamen Rider Zi-O

Kamen Rider Zi-O (仮面ライダージオウ Kamen Raidā Jiō , Masked Rider Zi-O) is a Japanese tokusatsu drama in Toei Company's Kamen Rider Series. It is the 20th and final season of the Heisei Rider series and commemorates all of the Rider series to-date.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) This season feels like it was a rehash of the previous anniversary season Kamen Rider Decade, which is also a bad anniversary season.
 * 2) There are a few plot holes that don't seem to be explained, like the time jackers' real purpose and origin.
 * 3) It is considered to be the Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel of the Kamen Rider series.
 * 4) Most of the characters here are unlikeable.
 * 5) *The main character Sougo Tokiwa is just a bland protagonist who only wishes to become a demon king, which sounds unrealistic.
 * 6) *Geiz Myokoin is an uninteresting and inconsistent secondary Rider who doesn't seem to get much character development.
 * 7) *Tsukuyomi is nothing more than a stereotypical damsel-in-distress at first, and then an arrogant girl stereotype. Her reveal as a Kamen Rider is also underwhelming and not well-executed, not helping the fact that the reveal happened during the season's last two episodes.
 * 8) The show's use of a 2-episode MoTW (Monster of The Week) arc, which previous seasons have done better, can get formulaic and repetitive.
 * 9) Uninteresting and generic villains.
 * 10) A generic plot that is only about a student who wishes to be a demon king that conquers the world in the future.
 * 11) Very mediocre acting.
 * 12) Geiz and Tsukuyomi's revivals felt flat.
 * 13) This season made tribute episodes on terrible Kamen Rider Seasons such as Kamen Rider Wizard, Kamen Rider 555, Kamen Rider Decade, and Ghost. Saying of Decade, the characters even became the protagonists of some episodes.
 * 14) In contrary, some Rider seasons such as Ryuki,Kiva,W and Drive didn't got enough screentime.
 * 15) Most of the side stories it spawned were terrible to watch.
 * 16) The Kiva tribute part is directed by Inoue Toshiki, making the two episodes much terrible.
 * 17) And to add fuel to the fire, this show aired alongside Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger which what many consider to be somewhat divisive, yet the worst Super Hero Time lineup.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Black Woz/Kamen Rider Woz and Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade were really funny and badass characters, making them two of the best parts about this show,while Sogou's uncle is also likeable. Sougo and Geiz can be likable as well at times.
 * 2) It spawned several internet memes, such as the funny "IWAE!" meme.
 * 3) The crossover movie Heisei Generations: FOREVER is good, as well as the Over Quartzer movie(depending on your view).
 * 4) It's nowhere near the worst Kamen Rider show, it was much better than Kamen Rider 555,Kamen Rider Decade and Kamen Rider Ghost.
 * 5) *It's also much better than Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger.
 * 6) Speaking of which, unlike Kamen Rider Decade, this show actually does the anniversary concept right.
 * 7) The finale of the show was a interesting way to end the Heisei Era.
 * 8) The next season, mh:besttvshows:Kamen Rider Zero-One would become anmassive improvement.
 * 9) Over Quartzer, the main opening is very nice to listen to.
 * 10) Though the fight scenes were poor, Grand Zi-O's transform cutscene is gorgeous, also a good way to pay tribute to the franchise.
 * 11) The OOO part brought Dan Kuruto, one of the most entertaining villains back.
 * 12) Some Kamen Rider fans may enjoy this show.
 * 13) Similarly to Kamen Rider Kiva, Zi-O is a very divisive Rider season amongst, and because of that, it also gets a spot on the Best TV shows Wiki. For more information, read here.

Trivia

 * mh:besttvshows:Kamen Rider Build was originally going to be the last Heisei season, but due to the date of Naruhito's Coronation being announced, they decided to shoehorn in one more season to get up to 20 seasons.
