After some back and forth with teases, silhouettes, and a plethora of rumors, we may finally have our very first look at Kamen Rider Zi-O!
Thanks to a tweet from @therealmatthunt we have what appears to be Zi-O sporting a pretty radical time & letters/characters based design. The images comes courtesy of a brand new Buttobasoul advert. And while it isn’t a full body shot, yet, it certainly seems to be our first legitimate look at the character.

Paladin says
One can only assume this Rider will be stronger than before.

Omnikaiser says
only thing I have in mind when seeing "ZI-O" like that is "Den-O" and how ZI would be something like "Zeronos Imagin"

Masked Rider Zeo?
Aoi Kurenai says
Masked Rider Zeo?
It's pronounced Ji-ou (or geo) so I guess it's a combination of the characters 字 (from kanji) and 王 (king).
Galador says
Someone on Reddit pointed out that it could be read as "The O", which then got me thinking that it could be the "The King" (since O can mean king).
Which could make it Kamen Rider "The King".
Ninja'd
Annuga says
Could also be Geo as in geography and stuff. I remember hearing a rumour that 'adventure' and 'assembly' would be a theme so that adds up
Tokumonkey says
I was going to say I'm disappointed it's not Kamen Rider Score (Decade 10 -> Score 20), when I realized that I have the series numbering messed-up due to (1) Amazons, and (2) the Heisei era coming to an end in April of 2019. So this will either be the 19th or 20th Heisei Kamen Rider series depending on whether you count Amazons and whether it'll still be considered a Heisei series, since it'll bridge two eras.
Also because the name "Kamen Rider Score" would've better fit for Hojo Emu.
Yay for a name that invites less speculation? I expect Galador is right about guessing the "oh" could reference "king."
Annuga says
I don't know why but Zi-O sounds Chinese to me. inb4 Legend Hero crossover
But in all seriousness I'm expecting a construction worker theme
Guyver Spawn says
I can already see people using the number theory again.
Librarian says
Geo seems plausible. "Kamen Rider World" was an older special iirc, so it could be a mild throwback to that. Could be an Atlas rider, and there are a lot of world plays that fit into that Geo/World theme.
Or it could be something about a king rider. They've done that a few times though with Faiz, Blade, and Kiva. So that wouldn't be a far stretch either.
Could be something no-one has guessed yet too.
Likely some kind of anniversary nod though. Wonder if it'll be a split season one like Decade to W was.
