Plot summary
Ryo Murasame is an aircraft pilot. One day he was taking his sister out on a ride along the Amazon when they were shot down by an UFO. They survived only to be captured by the Badan Empire. His sister was killed, while Ryo became the Combat Roid known as ZX. His memory was erased by the Badan Empire, and he worked as their agent of evil. This did not last long; an accident occurred which caused Ryo to regain his memory and escape Badan. A year later, Ryo began his attack on Badan as they finished the preparations on their doomsday weapon: the Space Break System. A coordinated attack by all of the Kamen Riders disabled the Badancium 84 supplies needed for the Space Break System to work. When Ryo arrived, he thought Kamen Rider V3, Riderman and Kamen Rider Super-1 were enemies. The other Riders got him to listen to them, and only one truck full of Badancium 84 made it to the Badan's base run by Ambassador Darkness.
After being shown a video detailing the history of Kamen Riders 1 to Super-1, Ryo was amazed that there were others like him. He then joins the Kamen Riders in raiding the base. However, during the raid he encounters his former comrade, Mikage, who forced him to fight as Tigeroid. After being forced to kill his friend, ZX joined the Kamen Riders as they battled not only Ambassador Darkness and the Combat Roids, but also monsters from previous Rider Nemesis organizations. When Ambassador Darkness used the Space Break System on the Kamen Riders, they synced their powers with ZX, using his ZX Kick to kill Ambassador Darkness and destroy Badan's base even as its Great Leader appeared and bid the Riders farewell. Soon after, ZX joined the ranks of the Kamen Riders as their 10th member.
Characters
- Ryo Murasame/Kamen Rider ZX (村雨 良/仮面ライダーZX Murasame Ryō/Kamen Raidā Zekurosu): Ryo is an aircraft pilot, he lives with his sister and presumed he lived with his parents. He is impulsive and hesitates to trust the veteran Riders when he first encounters them. He has the most cybernetic body out of any Kamen Rider created thus far. His body has many hidden abilities reminiscent of a ninja, including shuriken and chain-sickles. He did not give himself the Kamen Rider moniker until the final confrontation.
- Rumi Ichijō (一条 ルミ Ichijō Rumi): She is a girl who is the daughter of a doctor who was killed by Badan. She gives Ryo temporary peacefulness.
- Dr. Hajime Kaidō (海堂 肇博士 Kaidō Hajime Hakase): He is Ryo's father's friend and is the researcher of the biochemistry which is also the teacher of a university. He cooperates in Ryo unstintingly.

He is the leader of the Japanese division of the Rider Organization while Kamen Riders 1 and 2 are in America.

Badan Empire
The Badan Empire (バダン帝国 Badan Teikoku) claims to be the successor of all previous groups that attempted to conquer the world but fell without fulfilling that ambition. In Kamen Rider Spirits, several references infer that the Badan Empire was actually created by an alien entity, and supported terrorist groups starting with Shocker secretly working towards bringing the true form of their leader to Earth. The Badan later resurface during the events of Ressha Sentai ToQger vs. Kamen Rider Gaim: Spring Break Combined Special and Heisei Riders vs. Shōwa Riders: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai
- The Generalissimo of Badan (バダン総統 Badan Sōtō): The giant skull which appeared after Ambassador Darkness's death. It disappeared sneering at the ten Riders. Dr. Kaidō said that it was the energy of an evil spirit. In the manga, the leader is identified as Great Leader JUDO (大首領JUDO Daishuryō JUDO), JUDO has a Kamen Rider form called Susanoo (スサノオ), a golden version of ZX with the ability to transform into nine Shōwa Kamen Riders. He has his own language, which he can telepathically compel others to understand.
- Ambassador Darkness (暗闇大使 Kurayami Taishi): He is the leader of the Badan Empire and the brother of Ambassador Hell of the Shocker organization. He is a maniacal man who is hellbent on getting what he wants. He was the one that ordered Ryo's plane to be shot down, thus killing his elder sister. Destroyed by Kamen Rider ZX's ZX Kick. In the manga, he was transformed into Southern Cross (サザンクロス Sazan Kurosu) who is a horned turban monster.
- Eisuke Mikage/Tigeroid (三影 英介/タイガーロイド Mikage Eisuke/Taigāroido): He is a cyborg able to produce a wide variety of artillery from his body and has attributes abilities equal with Ryo, thinking that power is justice.
