Kamen Rider Zero-One Revealed!

REJOICE, for a new Kamen Rider has graced our world. Yes, it's that time again. Time to go over the next Kamen Rider series, in this case the FIRST Kamen Rider of the Reiwa Era. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the 2019-20 Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider Zero-One!



The suit design for Zero-One looks pretty good with the black and neon green color scheme. It's a lot more sleeker than previous Heisei Rider suits, but it also gives homage to the Kamen Riders of old during the Showa Era. This comes into mind again when his main form has a grasshopper motif.


To transform, our hero will use the Hiden Zero-One Driver to transform. He can activate it by using the collectibles for the show, the Progrise Keys. His main key will be the Rising Hopper Progrise Key.


We then meet the secondary Rider for our show, Kamen Rider Vulcan, who uses the A.I.M.S. Shotriser to transform, which starts out as a gun for combat, but can be placed on his waist as a belt. His Progrise Key is Shooting Wolf. Our third Rider will use this device as well, who will be a female Rider, Kamen Rider Valkyrie. I'm just hoping they keep alive or not shaft her as the show goes on. She will use the Rushing Cheetah Progrise Key to transform.


Zero-One will later gain more keys to access new forms. He will have Flying Falcon, Biting Shark, Flaming Tiger, and Freezing Bear Progrise Keys. Vulcan and Valkyrie will get new keys and forms as well. Vulcan gets the Punching Kong Progrise Key and Valkyrie will get the Lightning Hornet Progrise Key.


The Progrise Keys can be held in the Progrise Key Connector, which comes with the Amazing Hercules Progrise Key. The Breaking Mammoth Progrise Key can assume Breaking Mammoth form, which much like Gaim Suika Arms, appears to be a giant robot form.


There will be a third Driver, the Metsuboujinrai Forceriser. By inserting the Sting Scorpion Progrise Key, the user will transform into an evil rider named Kamen Rider Horobi. Another user will use the Flying Falcon Progrise Key to transform into Kamen Rider Jin.


Each Rider, will get an attache case that can fold out into a weapon. Zero-One will wield the Attach Calibur. Vulcan gets the Attach Shotgun and the Attach Arrow will be owned by Hirobi.


Zero-One and Vulcan will get upgraded keys. Zero-One will be given the Shining Hopper key to access Shining Hopper form and Vulcan gets the Assault Wolf key to access Assault Wolf form.


In these new forms, they can wield the Authorise Buster. Zero-One can use it in axe form while Vulcan can use it in blaster mode.


Much like Build, Zero-One will have a phone device that can transform into his motorcycle, this being the RisePhone.

So, that is it for today. Kamen Rider Zero-One will makes it premiere on September 1, 2019. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Later.
