Sogo Tokiwa, a high school senior born in the year 2000, dreams of one day becoming a king. Suddenly, he meets a mysterious girl named Tsukuyomi, who has come from the year 2068 with an ominous warning: "You will become Kamen Rider Zi-O, the King of Time; the demon destined to rule the world." Despite being troubled by his potential fate, Sogo becomes Kamen Rider Zi-O in order to save the space-time continuum from the Time Jackers, a group seeking to alter the history of the Heisei Kamen Riders for their own ends. He is aided in his quest by Geiz Myokoin, a resistance fighter from 2068 capable of becoming Kamen Rider Geiz who initially intended to kill Sogo to prevent his future tyranny, and a self-titled prophet named Woz, who wants the youth to become the tyrant Ohma Zi-O, who later gains the power to become Kamen Rider Woz. Along their journey, Sogo and his friends meet several Kamen Riders from the past and their allies; earning their trust and obtaining their powers.

Following his high school graduation, Sogo discovers that Swartz, the Time Jackers' leader, is actually Tsukuyomi's older brother and was manipulating both the Riders and his fellow Jackers in his plan to fuse the entirety of the Kamen Rider multiverse into a single, unified world in order to destroy it and save his world. Despite their best efforts, Sogo and his allies fail to stop Swartz until the former accepts his destiny and becomes Ohma Zi-O to destroy him. Instead of taking control of the world as it was foretold he would do however, Sogo renounces his powers in order to undo Swartz's damage; creating a new reality where he lives in peace with Geiz, Tsukuyomi, and the other Time Jackers.
