Some of this is my own interpreatation, some of this appears to be either canon or fanon, but I'll give it a shot.

1) To create the Shinobi MirideWatch, there had to be a decent chance Shinobi existed in the future. By changing Rentaro's past, Shinobi was made to never exist, so Woz couldn't create the RideWatch. Only when Sougo convinved him that fighting for his own justice was worth it, rather than being a Time Jacker pupper, was Shinobi's existence in 2022 "confirmed" enough for Woz to generate the MirideWatch. This seems to be basically canon.

2) What I've seen for Quiz is that either
Internet Theory: The MirideWatch doesn't "steal" a rider's power, in the same way a RideWatch does, but instead makes their reality more likely, effectively undoing Oma Zi-O's timeline instead instead of the named RIder. Thus, Quiz didn't have his powers stolen... by Woz, at least. While this makes sense, and is consiatant with Woz's characterisation (why would he want to ruin his own timeline, after all?), this doesn't explain how Quiz and Another Quiz can really co-exist, for a prolonged period of time, though. Plus, I don't know how official this is - I've seen it quoted on the wiki, but that doesn't really mean anything. So here's...

MY THEORY: This is easier to explain chronologically, so here's the list:
2019: Schwartz gives Hora the Another Quiz Watch, and she uses it to turn Prof Douan into an Another RIder. White Woz and Quiz arrive from 2040, and the events of the episode happen. Quiz has his powers "Miridewatched", using the explanation above, because hey, it works, and they go back to...

2040: Quiz gets taken to the past by White Woz, still in possession of his powers.
SEVERAL DAYS LATER: Schwartz shows up, and steals his powers for the Another RideWatch. This is when Quiz loses his powers and memories, just like Shinobi last time, we just don't see it because it hasn't happened to Mondo yet.

But yeah, this is all my theorising, who knows how much of this is legit?

(And I got no explanation for why he didn't destroy the Another Ridewatch other than "Quiz is weak lmao")
