 is the main antagonist of Kamen Rider Zi-O: Over Quartzer. He was the leader of Quartzer who transformed into .
==History==
===Background===
While details involving his history is unknown, he was the original timeline incarnation of Sougo Tokiwa who kept his existence a secret from the Time Jackers. As the leader of Quartzer, he entrusted his subordinate Woz into guiding an alternate younger version of himself into becoming Ohma Zi-O. To ensure the confidentiality of his and their organization's existence, SOUGO rescued his substitute's younger self by disintegrating one of the Dai Mazines, making it appear as though it was the younger Sougo who had powers, successfully drawing any attention away from SOUGO for the foreseeable future. 
===Kamen Rider Zi-O: Over Quartzer===
SOUGO Tokiwa continued to watch his substitute from the shadows by unifying the conflicting worlds of the Heisei Kamen Riders into a singular timeline for the Quartzers to eradicate. After Sougo Tokiwa completed his collection of nineteen Ridewatches, Woz stole all the Ridewatches to deliver them to the Quartzer leader. SOUGO finally made his presence to his alternate self seated on the throne with the other Quartzer members standing by him. Introducing the Quartzer as the "Wardens of History" and had Sougo imprisoned.
Deeming the Heisei Era to be a "mess" due to numerous contradictions, SOUGO Tokiwa and the Quartzer sought to remake it into a more unified timeline with themselves as the Kamen Riders. He transforms into Kamen Rider Barlckxs and proves to be a formidable opponent against Zi-O. However, once his substitute accesses Ohma Zi-O's power as Kamen Rider Zi-O OhmaForm, the battle turn into the tide of the heroes. Barlckxs later stabs Woz with his sword as punishment for his betrayal before facing the Heisei Riders. While using RX Bio Rider and J's Ridewatches to grow giant, Barlckxs is ultimately vanquished by the Heisei Rider Kick and ending the Quartzer Leader's reign for good.

===Kamen Rider Buttobasoul===
Kamen Rider Barlckxs is a playable character in Kamen Rider Buttobasoul.
==Personality==
SOUGO seems to be a rather cunning and patient person, as he was able to set in motion Ohma's rise back when his counterpart was just a child, all in order to create a decoy that will draw the attention of his enemies. These actions reveal that he didn't care about involving innocent people if it meant benefiting him.
Like with most villains, his greatness weakness was his arrogance. He was unable to see that Black Woz had betrayed him and very much underestimated his young counterpart in battle.

But instead of moving his right hand lower like Black RX, he moves his right hand from the sky to his face like how Mutsuki Kamijou transforms, as the effect of Barlckxs' transformation background sequence is based on Black RX's Sunriser and Transformation Sequence Effect.
*SOUGO is the only Movie Rider in Over Quartzer who doesn't have his outfit based on Kohtaro Minami's civilian attire.
*According to ISSA, he based his performance as SOUGO Tokiwa after Dr. Shinigami from the original series.https://web.archive.org/web/20190731013447/https://www.jiji.com/jc/article?k=2019073000567&g=soc
