Contractor jackers!

Yeah, after this many episodes in, I already see Sougo as... a blank piece of paper. His supposed history is that he is very good at history. But how in the original timeline that born Oma Zi-O that he came upon those powers? I think this is a part of a lesson Sougo needs to be brought in to reflection and he can determine himself what unwanted destruction he caused from a neutral perspective (Tsukuyomi). Geiz is that guy that thinks outright destruction onto destruction is the best negating solution.

Woz... well that is the most (should be) intriguing part of it all. If Sougo is supposedly a good fountain of history learned thus far in his classes, then he would know that the foundations of organization has "those guys". Why did it not stick out for him to show some remark to Woz in some subtle manner other than naivety? That is the biggest problem and that contributes to the reinforcement of the episodic writing that Kamen Rider (not just this series alone) seems to be stuck doing motorcycle wheelie dirt donuts in a field.

I think your inclusion of the Faiz and Kaixa duet is a more fitting summary of what Zi-O is...

Wizard, does look SiC though. Maybe the Timejackers literally take him for that one ring to rule them all. After all, if Toei deals with things in time (and no doubt Lord of the Rings has been introduced in Japan) this would be a quip-able opportunity to sneak in a subtle change from the Harry Potter painted Kamen Rider Wizard aspect to what is portrayed in what Sauron magic is in Another Rider Wizard!

I love how we finally have villains who actually take the time to attempt murder on the riders without giving them a chance to fight back. It might lead to some more interesting moments later on, or this might be the only attempt. I will say Woz now have a bargaining chip over Geiz. If Woz is in danger 'Geiz, remember when I saved your stupid black vest wearing ass from Schwartz?'

I am getting to the point where I'm thinking Geiz is actually Oma Zi-O. It's probably just his overall attitude, but it would make a ironic twist I guess.

I also love 7.5, I missed the in humor they had with production back with the web videos from years ago. I'm glad they are sort of bringing it back and giving some behinds the scenes stuff. I also love they originally was going to have Woz start the episode with 'Woz has concerns' before changing to the joke they decided to do, just to make the original opening a joke.

Given how bad the writing is, it seems like he forgot the moment he tried to beat Woz up.
