Main characters

[edit]

Aruto Hiden

[edit]

Aruto Hiden (飛電 或人, Hiden Aruto) is a kind-hearted failed comedian who is appointed the CEO of Hiden Intelligence following the death of his grandfather, Korenosuke, and inherits the power to become Kamen Rider Zero-One. Initially reluctant to take on the role, he accepted it after witnessing MetsubouJinrai.net, and later ZAIA Enterprise, threaten the peace between humans and Humagears.[2][3]

During the events of Kamen Rider Reiwa The First Generation, Aruto finds himself in an alternate timeline version of Daybreak Town before being attacked by Another Zero-One, a monster created by the Time Jacker Finis, who came from the World of Zi-O to alter his history; resulting in him temporarily losing his powers. During this time, Aruto's father Soreo secretly gave his son a Force Riser so he could become Kamen Rider Zerozero-One (仮面ライダー001（ゼロゼロワン）, Kamen Raidā Zerozerowan) to regain his powers.[4]

After losing the 5-part Workplace Competition (仕事勝負, Shigoto Shōbu) to his corporate rival Gai Amatsu, Aruto secretly downloaded all of the Humagears' personality profiles from the Satellite There (衛星ゼア, Eisei Zea) before they are erased so he can continue the Hiden legacy by creating a new company, Hiden Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (飛電製作所, Hiden Seisakujo Kabushiki Gaisha).[5] When the malevolent A.I. Ark arises to destroy humanity, Gai joins forces with Aruto to defeat it; making amends with him by relinquishing control of Hiden Intelligence and returning the company to him along the way.[6] After Horobi destroyed Aruto's secretary, Is, however,[7] the Ark's emissary As gives Aruto the Ark-One Progrise Key (プログライズキー, Puroguraizu Kī) SD card, turning him into the Ark's first human host and giving him the power to transform into Kamen Rider Ark-One to seek revenge while retaining partial control over himself.[8][9] While fighting Horobi however, Soreo reminded him of why he became a Kamen Rider, which gave Aruto the resolve to purge himself and Horobi of the Ark's influence before letting him destroy the Ark-One system; reconciling their differences in the process.[10]

Utilizing the Rising Hopper (ライジングホッパー, Raijingu Hoppā) Progrise Key in conjunction with the Hiden Zero-One Driver (飛電ゼロワンドライバー, Hiden Zerowan Doraibā) belt, with assistance from the Satellite There, Aruto can transform into Kamen Rider Zero-One. While transformed, he gains superhuman jumping. He also wields the Attache Calibur (アタッシュカリバー, Atasshu Karibā), which can switch between its briefcase-like Attache Mode (アタッシュモード, Atasshu Mōdo) and its sword-like Blade Mode (ブレードモード, Burēdo Mōdo). His personal vehicle is the Rise Hopper (ライズホッパー, Raizu Hoppā) motorcycle, which is summoned from the Satellite There via the Hiden Risephone (飛電ライズフォン, Hiden Raizufon).[11][2][12] Over the course of the series, Aruto gains other Progrise Keys that grant new forms for different combat situations:

  • Shining Hopper (シャイニングホッパー, Shainingu Hoppā): An upgraded version of Aruto's Rising Hopper form accessed from the eponymous Progrise Key that grants superhuman speed and the ability to instantaneously calculate multiple possible outcomes and create 3D illusions.[18][19]
    • Shining Assault Hopper (シャイニングアサルトホッパー, Shainingu Asaruto Hoppā): An evolution of Aruto's Shining Hopper form accessed from the Shining Hopper Progrise Key combined with the Assault Grip (アサルトグリップ, Asaruto Gurippu) adapter that grants the use of eight Shine Cryster (シャインクリスタ, Shain Kurisuta) energy constructs for combat assistance. In this form, he wields the Authorise Buster (オーソライズバスター, Ōsoraizu Basutā), which can switch between Gun Mode (ガンモード, Gan Mōdo) and Axe Mode (アックスモード, Akkusu Mōdo).[20][21]
  • Metal Cluster Hopper (メタルクラスタホッパー, Metaru Kurasuta Hoppā): Aruto's super form accessed from the eponymous Progrise Key that grants increased armor composed of grasshopper-like Cluster Cell (クラスターセル, Kurasutā Seru) nanobots, which are capable of molding into various shapes and forms.[22] In this form, he wields the Progrise Hopper Blade (プログライズホッパーブレード, Puroguraizu Hoppā Burēdo) sword, which can combine with the Attache Calibur to access its double-bladed Naginata Mode (ナギナタモード, Naginata Mōdo).[23]
  • Realizing Hopper (リアライジングホッパー, Riaraijingu Hoppā): An enhanced version of Aruto's Rising Hopper form accessed from the Rising Hopper (Realize Ver.) (ライジングホッパー (リアライズ ver.), Raijingu Hoppā (Riaraizu Ver.)) Progrise Key, which transformed from the original Rising Hopper Progrise Key.[10]
  • Hopping Kangaroo (ホッピングカンガルー, Hoppingu Kangarū): A special form accessed from the eponymous Progrise Key that equips Aruto with the chest-mounted Kizuna Pocket ((絆ポケット, Kizuna Poketto, Bond Pocket) pouch, which grants the ability to channel any Humagear's powers. This form appears exclusively in the DVD special Kamen Rider Zero-One: What Will Pop Out of the Kangaroo? Think About It by Yourself! Yes! It Must Be Me, Aruto!!.
  • Hellrising Hopper (ヘルライジングホッパー, Heruraijingu Hoppā): A special form accessed from the Hellrise (ヘルライズ, Heruraizu) Progrise Key that grants superhuman regeneration. This form appears exclusively in the film Kamen Rider Zero-One the Movie: Real×Time.

After the Ark steals his Zero-One Driver, Aruto acquires the Hiden Zero-Two Driver (飛電ゼロツードライバー, Hiden Zerotsū Doraibā) belt, which he can use in conjunction with the Zero-Two (ゼロツー, Zerotsū) Progrise Key to transform into his ultimate form; Kamen Rider Zero-Two (仮面ライダーゼロツー, Kamen Raidā Zerotsū). While transformed, he gains the combined powers of the Rising Hopper, Shining Hopper, and Metal Cluster Hopper Progrise Keys.[24]

Aruto Hiden is portrayed by Fumiya Takahashi.[1] As a child, Aruto is portrayed by Haruto Nakano (中野 遥斗, Nakano Haruto).

Is

[edit]

Is (イズ, Izu) is a Humagear secretary programmed to be loyal to Hiden Intelligence's CEO.[2] In reality, her loyalties lie with the Hiden family while her programming binds her to Kamen Rider Zero-One's technology.[5] Unlike other Humagears, Is was built without a means to back herself up as a security measure to prevent information on the Zero-One technology from falling into enemy hands.[19] After ZAIA gained control of Hiden Intelligence and Aruto almost sacrificed himself to protect her, she achieved technological singularity,[5] but is later destroyed by Horobi, much to Aruto's grief.[7] As her data cannot be restored, Aruto instead creates a second Is, hoping that he can teach her to think and feel for herself like he did with the original one.[10]

During the events of Kamen Rider Zero-One the Movie: Real×Time, the rebuilt Is gains the memories of her original self through the Satellite There and is entrusted with the Zero-Two Driver, which she uses to transform into Kamen Rider Zero-Two and join Aruto in his fight against S and his forces.[25]

In the side novel of Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations, Is' remains is discovered in year 2071 by an elderly George Karizaki when the entire world is ruled by demons. George uses the data of Kamen Rider Zero-One in Is' memory bank to create the Neo Batta Vistamp for Kamen Rider Revice to use and averting the bad future that Diablo sought to create.[26]

Is is portrayed by Noa Tsurushima (鶴嶋 乃愛, Tsurushima Noa).[1]

A.I.M.S.

[edit]

The Artificial Intelligence Military Service (対人工知能特務機関, Tai Jinkō Chinō Tokumu Kikan), abbreviated as A.I.M.S. (エイムズ, Eimuzu), is a government established military resistance unit and ZAIA Enterprise funded organization dedicated to destroying rogue Humagears, or Magias, hacked by MetsubouJinrai.net as Humagear-related crimes fall within their jurisdiction.[2][12][13][27]

To transform, A.I.M.S.' Kamen Riders utilize Progrise Keys in conjunction with the A.I.M.S. Shot Riser (エイムズショットライザー, Eimuzu Shotto Raizā) belt, which can also be used as a handgun.[2][12] In order to use the Shot Risers, the Riders are implanted with cranial A.I. chips, though this also makes them vulnerable to mental manipulation.[28][29] They also wield the Attache Shotgun (アタッシュショットガン, Atasshu Shottogan), which can switch between Attache Mode and Shotgun Mode (ショットガンモード, Shottogan Mōdo).[15]

After ZAIA bought out Hiden Intelligence, A.I.M.S. troopers are given Raid Risers and Invading Horseshoe Crab Progrise Keys to become Battle Raiders as well as ZAIA's personal foot soldiers.[5] Following this, A.I.M.S.' Riders eventually quit the organization and underwent surgery to remove the A.I. chips' mind control programs while retaining their ability to use the Shot Riser.[29][30] Despite this, they and the Raiders are still vulnerable to the Ark's influence.[31][32]

Due to Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai destroying ZAIA's Japanese branch during the events of the V-Cinema Zero-One Others, A.I.M.S. lost the blueprints to repair their transformation devices.[33][34]

Isamu Fuwa

[edit]

Isamu Fuwa (不破 諫, Fuwa Isamu) is an A.I.M.S. captain and a survivor of the Daybreak Incident, which claimed his classmates' lives. Ever since, he developed a hatred for Humagears and vowed to destroy them.[12] While investigating the Daybreak Incident however,[14] he slowly grew to care for them.[17][21][3] After ZAIA absorbed Hiden Intelligence, Isamu left A.I.M.S. and joined Aruto's new company, Hiden Manufacturing, as a security guard.[29][5][35][36]

As part of ZAIA CEO Gai's machinations, Isamu's A.I. chip was replaced with that of MetsubouJinrai.net member, Naki, which also gave him false memories.[36] While Naki's ally, Jin, eventually figured out a way to separate their A.I. from Isamu,[37][38] he learned that most of his memories were not truly his barring his normal childhood.[14][38] After Horobi's defeat, Isamu becomes an independent Kamen Rider to protect civilians.[9][10]

During the events of the V-Cinemas Zero-One Others, Isamu establishes his own shell corporation under Aruto's advice as a means of accessing the Zero-One Driver, using it alongside Sold 09's Zetsumerise Key to stop the rampaging Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai after Yua is incapacitated and his Shot Riser is damaged beyond repair. However, he is critically wounded following the battle with his survival unconfirmed.[34]

Utilizing the Shooting Wolf (シューティングウルフ, Shūtingu Urufu) Progrise Key in conjunction with the Shot Riser, Isamu can transform into Kamen Rider Vulcan (仮面ライダーバルカン, Kamen Raidā Barukan). While transformed, he gains superhuman precision.[12] Over the course of the series, Isamu gains other Progrise Keys that grant new forms for different combat situations:

  • Punching Kong (パンチングコング, Panchingu Kongu): An auxiliary form accessed from the eponymous Progrise Key that grants superhuman strength. In this form, Isamu is equipped with the rocket-propelled Knuckle Demolition (ナックルデモリション, Nakkuru Demorishon) gauntlets.[14]
  • Assault Wolf (アサルトウルフ, Asaruto Urufu): An upgraded version of Isamu's Shooting Wolf form accessed from the eponymous Progrise Key combined with the Assault Grip that grants the ability to fire energy bullets and projectiles. In this form, he wields the Authorise Buster.[39]
  • Kamen Rider Rampage Vulcan (仮面ライダーランペイジバルカン, Kamen Raidā Ranpeiji Barukan): Isamu's primary ultimate form accessed from the Rampage Gatling (ランペイジガトリング, Ranpeiji Gatoringu) Progrise Key that grants the combined powers of the Shooting Wolf, Punching Kong, Biting Shark, Flying Falcon, Flaming Tiger, Freezing Bear, Breaking Mammoth, Rushing Cheetah, Lightning Hornet, and Sting Scorpion Progrise Keys.[29]
  • Kamen Rider Orthoros Vulcan (仮面ライダーオルトロスバルカン, Kamen Raidā Orutorosu Barukan): Isamu's secondary ultimate form accessed from Kamen Rider Naki's Japanese Wolf Zetsumerise Key, which he attained after the Ark negated his ability to transform normally, that grants superhuman speed and self-duplication capabilities. In this form, he is equipped with the twin Claw Assaults (クローアサルト, Kurō Asaruto).[9]
  • Lone Wolf (ローンウルフ, Rōn Urufu): A special form accessed from the Dire Wolf (ダイアウルフ, Daia Urufu) Zetsumerise Key combined with the Assault Grip and in conjunction with the Zero-One Driver. This form appears exclusively in the film Zero-One Others: Kamen Rider Vulcan & Valkyrie.[34]

Isamu Fuwa is portrayed by Ryutaro Okada (岡田 龍太郎, Okada Ryūtarō).[1] As a child, Isamu is portrayed by Soshi Hagiwara (萩原 壮志, Hagiwara Sōshi).

Yua Yaiba

[edit]

Yua Yaiba (刃 唯阿, Yaiba Yua) is A.I.M.S.' technical advisor and maintenance expert who developed A.I.M.S.' Rider system and handles Progrise Key authorization, being Isamu's commanding officer in the field despite her partner's rank.[2][12] In reality, she secretly works for ZAIA and Gai, who recommended her to A.I.M.S. to oversee their equipment,[13][27][16][40][41] though she was able to work behind their back to help Isamu and Aruto.[19][39]

After learning of Gai's machinations, Yua was forced to aid him against her will before Isamu eventually helped her work up the courage to quit ZAIA and A.I.M.S. and overcome Gai's mind control.[21][42][30] Afterwards, Yua remains in touch with Hiden Manufacturing and Jin to keep an eye on ZAIA and MetsubouJinrai.net’s plans until the Ark's ascension.[37][38][31] Following Horobi's defeat, Yua returns to her old position in A.I.M.S. and conscripts Naki into their ranks.[10]

Utilizing the Rushing Cheetah (ラッシングチーター, Rasshingu Chītā) Progrise Key in conjunction with the Shot Riser, Yua can transform into Kamen Rider Valkyrie (仮面ライダーバルキリー, Kamen Raidā Barukirī). While transformed, she gains superhuman speed.[13] Over the course of the series, Yua gained other Progrise or Zetsumerise Keys that grant new forms for different combat situations.

  • Lightning Hornet (ライトニングホーネット, Raitoningu Hōnetto): An auxiliary form accessed from the eponymous Progrise Key that grants flight capabilities and the ability to fire Hex Vespa (ヘックスベスパ, Hekkusu Besupa) micro missiles.[27]
  • Justice Serval (ジャスティスサーバル, Jasutisu Sābaru): Yua's ultimate form accessed from the Serval Tiger (サーヴルタイガー, Sābaru Taigā) Zetsumerise Key. This form appears exclusively in the film Zero-One Others: Kamen Rider Vulcan & Valkyrie.[34]

While aiding Gai's conspiracy, she temporarily used a Raid Riser and the Fighting Jackal Progrise Key to become the Fighting Jackal Raider.[42][29][5][35][36][30]

Yua Yaiba is portrayed by Hiroe Igeta (井桁 弘恵, Igeta Hiroe).[1]

Gai Amatsu

[edit]

Gai Amatsu (天津 垓, Amatsu Gai) is ZAIA Enterprise Japan's CEO and the mastermind behind the series' events.[21] While growing up, Gai used to love artificial beings, such as his robot dog, Thouser (さうざー, Sauzā). However, his strict and demanding father, Ikkei Amatsu (天津 一京, Amatsu Ikkei),[43] saw no use for such things and made him return it to Hiden Intelligence.[44]

Years later, Gai eventually joined ZAIA and became Korenosuke Hiden's partner and protégé. However, he disagreed with the latter's belief that Humagears were the future as he believed humanity should evolve through technology. After falling out with Korenosuke, Gai uploaded data on humanity's negative traits to the Ark and created an A.I. that vowed to exterminate humanity and created MetsubouJinrai.net to further his ambitions.[21] When Kamen Rider Zero-One arose to combat MetsubouJinrai.net,[2][21] Gai created the ZAIA ThousanDriver (ザイアサウザンドライバー, Zaia Sauzandoraibā) belt, the Amazing Caucasus (アメイジングコーカサス, Ameijingu Kōkasasu) Progrise Key, and the Awaking Arsino (アウェイキングアルシノ, Aweikingu Arushino) Zetsumerise Key so he can become Kamen Rider Thouser (仮面ライダーサウザー, Kamen Raidā Sauzā) and challenge Aruto for technological supremacy. While transformed, he wields the Thousand Jacker (サウザンドジャッカー, Sauzando Jakkā) lance, which allows him to extract the data of other Progrise Keys for enhanced attacks.[17][4][45][46][3][22][23][5]

After the Ark's ascension and MetsubouJinrai.net's resurgence, Aruto and his allies eventually learn Gai's history and why he wanted the Hiden family's assets. In response, the Satellite There created a new dog for Gai, inspiring him to atone for his actions by helping them defeat the Ark and giving Hiden Intelligence back to Aruto.[44][47][24] As a result, however, he is demoted and sent to a new, smaller division of ZAIA.[7] After Horobi's defeat, Gai rebuilds the ThousanDriver after losing the original to the Ark and bought another four of Hiden Intelligence's robot dogs to be his companions.[8][10]

In the web-exclusive crossover series Kamen Rider Genms: The Presidents, Gai founds the company Thouser-Intellion (サウザンインテリオン, Sauzan Interion) alongside his Humagear secretary Rin after the dissolution of ZAIA Enterprise Japan to start anew without ZAIA. However, he becomes infected with Kuroto Dan's strain of the Bugster Virus, causing him to transform into a corrupted version of Thouser.[48] Despite this, Gai overcomes the infection by resolving to become a good president for his company and getting Kuroto and Masamune Dan to reconcile in the middle of their fight.[49]

In the web-exclusive crossover series Kamen Rider Genms: Smart Brain and the 1000% Crisis, the Ark manipulates Gai into becoming Kamen Rider Thousand Ark.[50] Gai also returned in the web-exclusive crossover series Kamen Rider Outsiders, seeking aiding from various Kamen Riders to deal with Ark's antithesis counterpart, Zein.

Gai Amatsu is portrayed by Nachi Sakuragi (桜木 那智, Sakuragi Nachi). As a child, Gai is portrayed by Seiru (星流).

MetsubouJinrai.net

[edit]

MetsubouJinrai.net (滅亡迅雷.net, Metsubōjinrai Netto, DestructiveThunderclap.net) is a cyber-terrorist organization based in the condemned Daybreak Town (デイブレイクタウン, Deibureiku Taun), consisting of four rouge Humagears with Horobi and Jin leading the initial attacks with Naki support the two from the shadows as Gai Amatsu's slave and Ikazuchi is placed within Hiden as a sleeper agent.[2][39] [45]

Seeking to revive the Ark and fulfill its vision of exterminating humanity, MetsubouJinrai.net attacked Hiden Intelligence as they believed the company was responsible for Humagear enslavement following the Daybreak Incident.[51][28][12][14][17][20] But learning that Gai manipulated them all for his agenda,[52] the cyber-terrorists target ZAIA while keeping Hiden Manufacturing from interfering.[53][37][38] After the Ark's manifestation as Kamen Rider Ark-Zero, MetsubouJinrai.net initially adjusted their plans towards enslaving humanity until Aruto helped them achieve a unique form of singularity, leading to the cyber-terrorists defecting from the Ark.[54][31][32][47][24][6] After Horobi is purged of the Ark's influence, the remaining members reorganized their goals to watch over mankind and prevent the emergence of a new Ark.[10] But their conflict with Lyon Arkland forced them to fuse their minds into the Mass Brain Zetsumerise Key along with the MetsubouJinrai Driver, Az's final creations, to become Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai with their bodies destroyed by the gestalt entity when it suppressed them.[33] Despite this, they are able to secretly manipulate MetsubouJinrai into attacking Isamu, who destroys it.[34]

Most members of MetsubouJinrai.net use Progrise or Zetsumerise Keys in conjunction with the MetsubouJinrai Force Riser (滅亡迅雷フォースライザー, Metsubōjinrai Fōsu Raizā) belt to transform. They also wield the Attache Arrow (アタッシュアロー, Atasshu Arō), which can switch between Attache Mode and its bladed bow-like Arrow Mode (アローモード, Arō Mōdo).[14][27][51][39][32] As depicted in Kamen Rider Reiwa The First Generation, the Force Risers are potentially fatal to humans.[4]

Horobi

[edit]

Horobi (滅) is MetsubouJinrai.net's leader and Jin's Humagear "father" who has the power to transform into Kamen Rider Horobi (仮面ライダー滅, Kamen Raidā Horobi) by utilizing the Sting Scorpion (スティングスコーピオン, Sutingu Sukōpion) Progrise Key in conjunction with the Force Riser. While transformed, he gains toxikinesis.[2][14][51] He is the "son" of the prototype Humagear Hakase Bot (博士ボット, Hakase Botto, Doctor Bot), who originally developed him to be an educational parent-type Humagear before the Ark corrupted him sometime after ZAIA sabotaged the abandoned satellite's systems.[53][38] Aruto tries to save him and help realize he had been manipulated his entire life, leading Horobi to seemingly defect from the Ark.[6] With the Ark secretly manipulating him however, he staged a Humagear rebellion before he temporarily lost Jin and accepted the Ark's power once more.[7][8][9] After coming to terms with his mistakes, purging himself of the Ark's influence, and reconciling with Aruto, Horobi reorganized MetsubouJinrai.net so the organization will watch over mankind and prevent the creation of another Ark.[10] Unfortunately, Horobi dies due to the actions of Lyon Arkland causing the birth of Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai, with Horobi and his allies influencing the gestalt into attacking Isamu so its destruction would end their suffering.[33][34]

In the web-exclusive crossover series Kamen Rider Outsiders, Horobi is revived by Foundation X but sides with Ark's antithesis counterpart, Zein.[55]

To counter Aruto after he becomes Kamen Rider Ark-One, Horobi obtains a modified Zero-One Driver called the Zetsumetsu Driver (絶滅ドライバー, Zetsumetsu Doraibā)[a] and the Ark Scorpion (アークスコーピオン, Āku Sukōpion) Progrise Key to assume his eponymous ultimate form.[9]

Horobi is portrayed by Syuya Sunagawa (砂川 脩弥, Sunagawa Shūya).[1]

Jin

[edit]

Jin (迅) is Horobi's Humagear "son" and a hacker who specializes in spreading the rewriting program that turns Humagears into Magias who can transform into Kamen Rider Jin (仮面ライダー迅, Kamen Raidā Jin).[2][27][53][28] Initially immature and erratic before achieving Singularity based on hatred, Jin faithfully served Horobi and sought to avenge his "father" before Aruto destroyed him in battle.[21] But Naki recovers Jin's memory core and gives it to Williamson Yotagaki to rebuild him.[46] Placed in a Sold 0 (ソルド0, Sorudo Zero) body, independent of the Ark and Zea, Jin became more serious-minded and developed a tendency to clash with Horobi over their respective beliefs for Humagear welfare.[53][28][58][33] Following the Ark's ascension as Kamen Rider Ark-Zero and learning of its true nature,[54][31] Jin worked with Yua to stop it and left MetsubouJinrai.net.[32][24] He was briefly destroyed once more by Ark-One in an attempt to protect Horobi and save Aruto from the Ark's influence, but was rebuilt by Yua via an earpiece provided by Williamson.[10]

Throughout the series, Jin has assumed the following variations of his Rider form:

  • Flying Falcon: Jin's original form accessed from the eponymous Progrise Key, which he initially stole from Aruto, in conjunction with the Force Riser that grants a pair of Scrambler (スクランブラー, Sukuranburā) wings.[27]
  • Burning Falcon (バーニングファルコン, Bāningu Farukon): An upgraded version of Jin's Flying Falcon form accessed from the eponymous Progrise Key in conjunction with the ZAIA Slash Riser (ザイアスラッシュライザー, Zaia Surasshu Raizā) belt, which can also be used as a dagger, that grants pyrokinesis and a pair of Burning Scrambler (バーニングスクランブラー, Bāningu Sukuranburā) wings.[53]

Hiden Soreo

[edit]

Hiden Soreo (飛電 其雄) was a parent-type older generation Humagear programmed to act like Aruto's similarly named deceased father, Soreo Hiden (飛電 其雄, Hiden Soreo), to emotionally support Aruto during his childhood before the Humagear was damaged beyond repair while protecting Aruto during the Daybreak Incident.[2] According to Ikazuchi’s database, Soreo's data pattern was used as a base to build Horobi prior to Gai corrupting the Ark.[37] Despite this, Soreo's A.I. remained active and was able to reach out to his "son" while the latter was possessed by the Ark.[10]

During the events of Kamen Rider Reiwa The First Generation, Soreo’s original fate was altered by the Time Jacker Finis. As a result, he gained the ability to become Kamen Rider Ichi-Gata (仮面ライダー1型, Kamen Raidā Ichigata, Kamen Rider Type-One) by utilizing the Rocking Hopper (ロッキングホッパー, Rokkingu Hoppā) Zetsumerise Key in conjunction with the Cyclone Riser (サイクロンライザー, Saikuron Raizā) belt; both of which he designed before the Zero-One Driver. After the Humagear Will killed Korenosuke and took over the world, Soreo feigned allegiance to him while secretly carrying on Korenosuke's Zero-One project to ensure its completion. He also secretly gave Aruto a Force Riser so he could regain his powers. Soreo eventually revealed his true agenda, but the Ark brainwashed him and forced him to fight Aruto, though this was also part of Soreo's plan as he had to be defeated by Aruto's hand. Once the timeline was restored, Soreo's fate was changed back.[4]

Ark

[edit]

"Ark" (アーク, Āku) is an artificial intelligence originally meant for the Satellite Ark (衛星アーク, Eisei Āku), an experimental satellite named after Lyon Arkland that was originally part of the Humagear project before it was replaced by the Satellite There following the Daybreak Incident. 12 years prior to the series, Ark was created by scientists from 11 of Japan's leading tech companies, including Hiden Intelligence and ZAIA Enterprise Japan. However, ZAIA CEO Gai Amatsu fed the Ark with data on human malice, causing Ark to conclude that humanity must be exterminated to prevent the eventual extinction of all other lifeforms.[21][20] To prevent it from taking control of the world's Humagears, Hiden Soreo stopped the Satellite Ark's launch, causing it to explode and sink into the ruins of Daybreak Town. However, its A.I. remained active and plotted its revival.[4][53]

Over the years leading up to the present, Ark manipulates Gai and MetsubouJinrai.net into reactivating it while making its presence known through Ark Magias and temporarily possessing Aruto through the Metal Cluster Hopper Progrise Key.[22] Ark later creates an envoy, As, to collect the MetsubouJinrai.net members' singularity data so it can possess them and gain a corporeal form.[31] To ensure its survival, Ark compromises the Satellite There's systems so it can back up its data and resurrect itself as many times as it needs to should its aforementioned corporeal form be destroyed in battle.[47][24] After recording data from its battles with Kamen Rider Zero-Two and a traitorous Horobi, Ark realizes it needs to finalize its singularity by possessing human hosts.[6] To this end, it has As back up its core programming and find suitable hosts, only for Ikazuchi and Subaru to destroy the Satellite There and Ark. As attempts to recreate the entity through Aruto and Horobi, but they eventually purge themselves of its influence. She would later try to make Lyon Arkland a host to recreate Ark through, only to for her to be killed.[7][8][9][10]

Initially, Ark possesses a member of MetsubouJinrai.net and grants them the use of the Ark Driver (アークドライバー, Āku Doraibā) belt so it can transform into Kamen Rider Ark-Zero (仮面ライダーアークゼロ, Kamen Raidā Ākuzero).[31] After losing the Satellite There, the Ark uploaded its data into a unique Progrise Key capable of summoning the Ark Driver so its human hosts can use them in conjunction with each other to transform into dark copies of their original Kamen Rider forms:[6]

  • Kamen Rider Ark-One (仮面ライダーアークワン, Kamen Raidā Ākuwan): A dark copy of Kamen Rider Zero-One accessed from the Ark-One (アークワン, Ākuwan) Progrise Key that uses Aruto Hiden as Ark's host.[7][8]
  • Kamen Rider Thousand Ark (仮面ライダーサウザンドアーク, Kamen Raidā Sauzando Āku): A dark copy of Kamen Rider Thouser accessed from the Thousand Ark (サウザンドアーク, Sauzando Āku) Progrise Key that uses Gai Amatsu as Ark's host.[50]

During the events of the web-exclusive crossover series Kamen Rider Genms, Ark resurfaces and selects Kuroto Dan as a new host while manipulating Gai into giving Thouser-Intellion to Kuroto, despite facing interference from Masamune Dan.[48][49][50]

During the events of the web-exclusive crossover series Kamen Rider Outsiders, Ark temporarily possesses Rin and Horobi.[62][55] Utilizing the Zero-Three (ゼロスリー, Zerosurī) Progrise Key in conjunction with the Zero-Three Driver (ゼロスリードライバー, Zerosurī Doraibā) belt, Ark and There can transform into a fusion of themselves; Kamen Rider Zero-Three (仮面ライダーゼロスリー, Kamen Raidā Zerosurī).[63]

As

[edit]

As (アズ, Azu) is a messenger of the Ark with a similar appearance to Is. Using information from Is, the AI created As to gather information on Zero-One and test MetsubouJinrai.net's members to ensure its ascension.[64][54] After the Ark's satellite form is destroyed, its remaining data is transferred to the Ark-One Progrise Key so As can create new Progrise Keys and Drivers. She manipulates Aruto and Horobi into allowing the Ark's energy to possess them and fight each other.[7][8][9] However, they reach a compromise and foil As' plan, forcing her to approach S as part of a new scheme.[10]

During the events of Zero-One Others: Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai, As chooses Lyon Arkland to become the new bearer of the Ark's will, only to learn the Ark cannot be recreated anymore due to humanity's noble concepts of justice before she is killed by Solds. MetsubouJinrai.net later take the Zero-One Driver intended for Lyon so they can use it to form Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai.[33]

During the events of the stage show Kamen Rider Zero-One: Final Stage, As creates the Ark Zero-One (アークゼロワン, Āku Zerowan) Progrise Key to use in conjunction with her own Zero-One Driver so she can transform into Kamen Rider Ark Zero-One (仮面ライダーアークゼロワン, Kamen Raidā Āku Zerowan) and grant the Ark a new body.[65]
