Sougo Tokiwa (Kamen Rider Zi-O)

Sougo Tokiwa This is our demon king everybody.... Gender: Male Type: Protagonist Age: 18 Species: Human Status: Alive Media of origin: Kamen Rider Zi-O

Sougo Tokiwa, also known as Kamen Rider Zi-O, is a high school student who is destined to become the tyrannical Oma Zi-O in the future. Seeking to prevent his rise as the Demon King, Sougo becomes Zi-O so he can become a great king by defending the world from evil like a true Kamen Rider.

Why He Sucks

1. He's very immature for his age, acting incredibly oblivious towards certain situations which can be annoying for some people
2. While his dream of becoming king isn't necessarily "unrealistic" (considering he actually becomes one), we never discover why he wants to be king, so again it comes off as childish
3. He's nothing more than an idiot failing school and gets knocked around by his classmates for his weird dream.
4. He tries so hard to be the funniest leader but, every time he does it, his jokes fail and it becomes annoying.
5. Sougo also tries so hard to have Geiz on his side, but most of the time fails.
6. It feels like he's supposed to mirror the first Heisei Rider (Yusuke Godai), but the writing never really emphasizes on that
7. His suits are very hit or miss as fans find most of them ugly, especially his W Armor and Gaim Armor.

Redeeming Qualities

1. At least, he was a peaceful and genuinely kind man.
2. He did have good chemistry with other characters such as Geiz Myokoin/Kamen Rider Geiz, Black Woz/Kamen Rider Woz, and Aruto Hiden/Kamen Rider Zero-One.
3. He's nowhere near the worst protagonist in Kamen Rider, being much more interesting than Takeru Tenkuuji/Kamen Rider Ghost, Touma Kamiyama/Kamen Rider Saber, and Chihiro/Kamen Rider Amazons Neo.
