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:

Following the exciting initial reveal we now have some full catalog scans for the first Kamen Rider of the Reiwa Era– Kamen Rider Zero-One!

Here is everything we know about this new Kamen Rider thus far:

*The main gimmick for this series involves memory-card based devices known as Progrise Keys which are inserted into Drivers and weapons to unlock new abilities. Thus far all Progrise Keys seem to be based on animals.

*Kamen Rider Zero-One will henshin using the Rising Hopper Progrise Key in his unique Driver- tentatively known as the Hiden Zero-One Driver. Additional forms to be used by Zero-One include Flying Falcon, Biting Shark, Flaming Tiger, Freezing Bear and a massive armored drone form called Breaking Mammoth.

*Zero-One’s motorcycle converts into his phone- a device called the RisePhone. Additional Progrise Keys will be carried in Zero-One’s belt attachment, the Progrise Key Connector.

Once again we will have MULTIPLE Kamen Riders in this series!

*Kamen Rider Vulcan is armed with a new gun-based Driver- the AIMS Shot Riser. Vulcan’s signature Progrise Key is Shooting Wolf and he has access to a separate form called Punching Kong.

*Kamen Rider Valkyrie also uses the AIMS Shot Riser and has two unique Progrise Keys- Rushing Cheetah & Lightning Hornet.

*Kamen Rider Horobi uses the Sting Scorpion Progrise Key and has a unique Driver- the Force Riser.

Each Rider has a signature weapon based on an attache case: Zero-One uses the sword-like Attache Calibur, Vulcan uses the Attache Shotgun and Horobi uses the Attache Arrow. Another weapon called the Authorise Buster is also detailed- this is an axe that can transform into a gun and may be available to multiple Riders.

Finally, we have some quick teasers for the first Rider Upgrades! Using a new model of Progrisse Keys, Zero-One will unlock the Shining Hopper form while Vulcan activates Assault Wolf.
