Geiz Myokoin (Kamen Rider Zi-O)

Geiz Myokoin (明光院 ゲイツ, Myōkōin Geitsu) is a member of the Resistance from 2068 who fights against the reign of Ohma Zi-O as Kamen Rider Geiz (仮面ライダーゲイツ, Kamen Raidā Geitsu). In an effort to change his apocalyptic future, he travels to 2018 with Tsukuyomi in an attempt to defeat Sougo Tokiwa before he could become Ohma Zi-O.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) For once we have a reason as to why the Secondary acts antagonistic specifically to the Main Rider (outside of just being brooding), since Sougo did become a Demon King and ruin his life
 * 2) Though a lot of his motives to kill Sougo, he doesn't do so immediately which is smart as he develops good bonds with the other characters throughout the show
 * 3) * Also doing so could've changed time for the worse for all we know, so having that in mind makes his struggles a lot more sensible
 * 4) He has some of the more popular suits in show, with his base form having a nice mix of Red, Black, and Yellow, whilst also having cool Armor Times such as the Wizard Armor and the Drive Armor
 * 5) Although he can be an asshole he still has a good heart, willing to stop Sougo in a more pacifistic manner multiple times and put stopping the Time Jackers at the forefront so he can protect people.
 * 6) His special, Kamen Rider Zi-O NEXT TIME: Geiz, Majesty, was popular amongst the fans, serving as a well needed tribute to Secondary Riders
 * 7) He does get a lot of funny moments, mostly because of his chemistry with Sougo Tokiwa and Black Woz due to their light-hearted personalities clashing with his broodiness.
 * 8) *And his most memorable moment is within the Hyper Battle DVD special (Bibili no Geiz), where he developed a fear for phantoms, thus providing some really outlandish yet fun moments within Geiz.
 * 9) Finally his death scene at the end of the show was very emotional, showing how much he grew as a character and how his morals changed

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Though he has a reason to be, his personality is still very generic amongst Secondary Riders.
 * 2) *And like with Haruto Souma/Kamen Rider Wizard, some people might not be fond of him due to his lack of a distinct personality.
 * 3) It would've been nice to see him gain Secondary Armors instead of just only having those powers applied to weapons and Geiz Majesty
