We are merely days away from the premiere of the 20th and final Heisei Era Kamen Rider series, and now we have been given a few quick shots at the upcoming adventures of Kamen Rider Zi-O!
The highlights from this months’ scans include-
*Kamen Rider Zi-O & his counterpart Kamen Rider Geiz testing out their new henshin belts and weapons. Zi-O uses the Zikan Gilade sword while Geiz controls the Zikan Zax crossbow. Zi-O’s unique motorcycle, the RideStriker is also on display, rounding out his arsenal.
*The monstrous AnotherRiders are shown in full! These are corrupted versions of past Kamen Riders awakened by the villainous TimeJackers. The AnotherRider versions of Kamen Rider Build and Kamen Rider Ex-Aid will be Zi-Os’ first proper opponents.
*By defeating the AnotherRiders, Zi-O will gain the Riders’ powers. We get to see the effects of this thanks to Zi-O’s Armor Time– channeling new forms based on the past Rider in question. The form detailed in this months’ scan is the Kamen Rider Ex-Aid RideArmor! In this new configuration Zi-O gains powerful punching attacks thanks to new piston weapons.
*Not to be outdone, Kamen Rider Geiz is shown obtaining the Kamen Rider Drive RideArmor! This new form grants Geiz powerful speed-kicks and control of Drive’s trademark ShiftCar.
*Looming over the Riders’ adventures is the sinister Demon King ZI-O! This figure is a golden corrupted version of Kamen Rider Zi-O from the same future as Kamen Rider Geiz- a world without hope ruled by a merciless king. Is this Zi-O’s ultimate fate? Only time will tell!
Kamen Rider Zi-O is officially scheduled to begin on September 2 2018! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new Rider series!
All of Zi-O magazine scans for Sepetember month:
The evil King Zi-O's faceplate, the grey/silver area, is nothing but the symbol for King all over it.
The ninth pic...
We get a sneak peek at Future Zi-O and Another Ex-Aid.
And they look absolutely terrifying.
And the last pic... Future Zi-O has a clock hand cape/scarf? And his grey faceplate says "king".
So the Drive armour time uses shift cars as projectiles.
I kinda love it.
Hooooly shit that another Ex-Aid looks so cool.
We can assume they'll pull a Kuuga and have Zi-O's final form resemble the Demon King right?
The report on the news part of the site seems to be wrong. The scans show Ex-Aid Armor facing Another Ex-Aid, and Build Armor facing Another Build, so it doesn't seem like Zi-O gains the power by defeating the Another Riders.
I absolutely love that Another Ex-Aid's hair is sculpted to look more realistic. He honestly looks like the character on the art for Dangerous Zombie's gashat.
Another Ex-Aid looks like if Ex-Aid was a Predator. Looks badass
I would pay good money to get any sort of figure of an Another Rider. Can't wait to see what Another Riders Den-O and Fourze would look like.
Zi-O's future self's name is O-Mazi-O/Ohmazi-O
From the looks of, and this is purely speculation from me, the name seems to be a portmanteau + pun, the O-Ma/Ohma resembling Oh my from Oh my God and Zi-O resembling Dios from Mios Dios
O-Ma/Ohma is also most likely the reverse form of the Japanese word maoh, which means evil king
