 This article is about a monstrous Rider in Kamen Rider Zi-O.
|
Hayase (早瀬) is an illusionist who became Another Wizard (アナザーウィザード, Anazā Wizādo), the Another Rider derived from Kamen Rider Wizard Flame Style.
Character History[]
2012[]
Hayase was the back-stage hand of a performance theater on the verge of going out of business in the year 2012. He is approached by Heure, who promises the ability to save the theater in exchange for contracting with him. Hayase accepts the contract and uses the Another Wizard powers to impress Kaori Kinoshita, the theater's owner (whom he is also smitten with) and keep the business going.
2018[]
In 2018, Sougo Tokiwa, Geiz Myokoin and Tsukuyomi attend one of his magic shows and ascertain that his performance is too authentic, coming to the conclusion that he is an Another Rider. Geiz aggressively confronts Hayase in the back-alley after the show and attacks him, confirming their suspicions when Hayase uses the Wizard powers to escape.
After fleeing to his household and encountering Ora, Hayase's co-worker Nagasawa arrives to warn him that not only is the theater about to close but that he is marrying Naomi after six years of proposing to her. Overcome with jealousy, Hayase transforms into Another Wizard and attacks Nagasawa, who is saved by Kamen Rider Geiz. The two end up at a warehouse, whereupon Zi-O and Tsukuyomi arrive to stop Geiz. Geiz manages to take Another Wizard down with the Faiz Ride Armor; though his efforts are for naught when Ora stops time and re-vitalizes Another Wizard. Tsukuyomi attempts to stop Hayase, but is hit with a sleep-spell. With Geiz and Zi-O now pre-occupied, Hayase goes on his way. [ Magic Showtime 2018]
Hayase was ultimately defeated by Geiz WizardArmor. After that, Sougo lend his Faiz Phone X to Hayase so the latter can encourage his past self to pluck up the courage and confess his love to Kaori. [Beauty & Beast 2012]
2019[]
Few months later, Hayase no longer works for the now closed Magic House Kinoshita and now works at another magic house, Magic House Aqua. He had decided to move on with his life and work hard to achieve a new dream, resulting in him gaining new employment entertaining patrons at a restaurant magic house with some magic tricks he learned on his own. Hayase's fun entertaining guests is interrupted by Sougo wanting to meet him, whom Hayase doesn't remember at all due to the loss of his Another Ridewatch altering history. Sougo tries to warn him that someone is after him and he will be his bodyguard. This worries Hayase, but he is polite enough to let him stay in the restaurant and watch the magic show and goes over to another table to do card tricks for guests. He then leaves his job and makes a run for it when Sougo follows, thinking Sougo as a crazy person who wants to hurt him. He hides in an alleyway, only to be assaulted by Hiryu and have his Another Wizard powers taken by him. He recovers and runs away at the behest of Sougo, who arrived too late to stop Hiryu from gaining the power of Another Wizard. [Another Zi-O 2019]

Notes[]
- Hayase as Another Wizard is an anthesis to Haruto Soma, in that, while Haruto overcame against his despair to become a Kamen Rider through feelings of hope; Hayase eventually gives into despair, and lashes out at Nagasawa and Naomi when his actions seem to be for naught.
- Another Wizard's belt bears resemblance to Wizardriver, albeit with a skeletal hand where the Hand Author would be.
