I would like to take this moment to mention that only a little over 3 minutes into the first episode someone immediately points out how odd that is as a motivation.
So at the very least the show is aware of this problem. Unfortunately it can't change how uninteresting Sougo is right now, but like I said in the thread for episode 3, there's a good chance he's written the way he is for a reason.

Bingo:
Admittedly there are few storytelling concepts more headache-inducing than time travel, but I think the important thing to note here is that it's not like Skynet is sending Terminators back to assassinate Emu. If they were this episode would've met the quota for wanton cruelty to Emu.
What's happening is that the events that
lead to them becoming Riders
are gone, and where does every Kamen Rider get their powers? From the same source as the bad guys. Ex-Aid exists because there's a Bugster virus to be vaccinated against. Build only exists if Pandora's Box comes down from Mars with Evolt in tow.
If the Riders are gone, so are the monsters that result in their creation.
Therefore, no Riders = no catastrophes.
Or at least that's my theory? For all I know the show's already contradicted this idea and I haven't noticed. I have a pretty high tolerance for time travel nonsense given how inherently unrealistic the concept is.
Unfortunately, not all works of fiction can live up to the genius of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
