Earlier in the week, we had our first look at Kamen Rider Zero-One, ushering in the age of the Reiwa Era we now have our first look at the show proper thanks to a press conference that was held in Japan. This press conference gives us our first look at the actual stunt suit for Zero-One himself, as well as revealing the show’s ensemble and the show’s story:
AI and robots replace the need for human workers in a lot of labor-related jobs. The civilian identity of the Zero One is Hiden Aruto, he’s the president of Hiden Intelligence. There’s a group called A.I.M.S. which is an anti-AI group and fights the bad robots while a group of hackers serves as the main antagonists for this show. Kamen Rider Valkyire’s civilian identity’s been confirmed as female as many have speculated when the scans were first released and it seems like she’ll be part of the show’s main cast early on in the series’ run.
Voice actors Koichi Yamadera will be the show’s narrator, while Noriko Hidaka will be providing the voice for the A.I system. The press conference can be viewed in full in the box down below:
The first Rider of Reiwa!
I do love the fact that the first rider of the new era is a Hopper themed Kamen Rider. Imma wait until some clearer or studio/etc. pictures are released for a better look but I'm okay with the basic look to it (at least for the primary form)
If that yellow-green form is his base form, then I gotta say, I love it. Ever since Den-O, Riders have been getting far too overdesigned and complicated. After watching Kabuto and re-falling in love with the simpler designs again, this is a wonderful breath of fresh air.
I don't know if the pictures presents other riders and alternate forms, but while more complex, they're not as too clunky as riders of recent times have been.
But goddamn, that yellow form, Rising Hopper? True beauty.
Showa era ? is that you ?
Change! Rising Hopper!
Digging the techno-feel of these suits.
A shame (though relatively unsurprising) that they're still going with RKF scale, but otherwise everything here looks cool. The cassettes kind of remind me of the Gaia Memories, especially when I see them inserted in that gun.
Possibly the sexiest suit design I've ever seen. Sometimes simple is better.
Digging the techno-feel of these suits.
I wish i know how will be the plot.
