Kamen Rider Zero-One: Series

The headquarters of the giant corporation Hiden Intelligence looms over the center of the city. The company supports people around the world with cutting-edge technology in all kinds of artificial intelligence and robotics. The news reports that the company’s president has passed away.

Aruto has become president and CEO of the leading company in AI, Hiden Intelligence, and coming to visit him are Isamu Fuwa and Yua Yaiba, members of a specialist military organization called A.I.M.S. that investigates AI crimes. They believe Hiden Intelligence is hiding something about the violent Humagear incident at the amusement park…

Aruto’s daily life as president and CEO of Hiden Intelligence has begun. This time Aruto and Is make a visit to the three-star sushi restaurant, Magokoro Sushi. They’ve come to make a deal on a contract for Nigiro Ikkan, a sushi chef Humagear. 

Aruto and Is join a bus guided tour around Daybreak Town in order to observe the workplace of the tour’s leader, a bus guide Humagear named Anna. As for Daybreak Town, it’s the location of a former experimental Humagear city. A project to launch a communications satellite that would control Humagears was held in the city. 

Aruto and Is pay a visit to the home and studio of the extremely popular manga artist Choichiro Ishizumi. Aruto says he’s come in person as president to deliver a new manga artist assistant Humagear, but truthfully he’s a huge fan of Ishizumi. 

Voice actress Humagear Seine Kanasawa is recording for the anime production of “Perfuman Tsurugi.” Aruto’s figure is on the scene because he’s a huge fan of “Perfuman Tsurugi”… actually no, he’s here this time as an observer of A.I.M.S. organization’s crackdown on AI-related crimes. It seems Seine has violated laws concerning artificial intelligence.

Aruto is called to a junior high school and told by the teacher they want to reset the basketball club’s advisor Humagear no matter what. For some reason, A.I.M.S. also makes an appearance at the junior high school Aruto has headed to. It’s become a problem that the Humagear has somehow turned into a “hot-blooded teacher” despite being an AI.

Aruto visits the hospital for a regular physical. The place is filled to the brim with Humagears because the genesis of Humagear’s development was to put AI to use in medical care. In order for hospitals to control medical Humagears via their own independent local networks, their security must be perfect. This should also keep them unaffected by MetsubouJinrai.net’s attacks.

Vulcan has been thoroughly beaten by Horobi who transformed into a Kamen Rider. Yua carries him to the hospital right away where there’s a Humagear surgeon who explains, “If he isn’t operated on immediately, his life is in danger.” Because of the overwhelming damage caused by MetsubouJinrai.net, there’s no time to find the aid of another doctor.

Due to the rampage of the Humagears at the hospital, Hiden Intelligence’s public image has fallen. To get rid of that stigma, a new TV drama project is launched. Vice president Fukuzoe’s proposal as executive producer is to put an actor Humagear in a starring role and improve their reputation. Supporting their star is influential actor Shinya Owada.

The TV drama project that Hiden has staked its future on has fallen into a crisis. “I can’t feel the profoundness of humanity,” says co-star Shinya Owada with distrust towards the performance of the Humagear actor Enji Matsuda, and he’s announced he will quit the show. Aruto starts to take action as the company president in order to persuade Owada.

The police have started moving in their investigation of the attempted assassination of Shinya Owada. Together with A.I.M.S. the police search the Hiden Intelligence headquarters, but any evidence that Hiden created the assassin Humagear is nowhere to be found.

Transformed into the shining form called Shining Hopper, Zero-One confronts the Dodo Magia who has grown enough to surpass Horobi and Jin. Is has confidence that if he uses Shining Hopper’s Progrise key he will win with absolute certainty, but there’s an anomaly in Zero-One’s state. She begins to lose her self-confidence over that and says, “I am unqualified to be the president’s secretary.”

A pair of astronaut brothers have angrily stormed into the president’s office at Hiden Intelligence! Raiden, an astronaut Humagear who manages Satellite There, is infuriated by all the things Aruto is doing. Raiden and his younger brother Subaru take Aruto along to the Hiden Space Exploration Center. There, somehow A.I.M.S. and MetsubouJinrai.net appear one after another…

At the end of the battle with Kamen Rider Ikazuchi, A.I.M.S. determines the MetsubouJinrai.net hideout is in the vicinity of Daybreak Town and at last carries out a search-and-destroy operation. With the Ark’s intelligence awakening, MetsubouJinrai obtain power greater than they’ve had before this moment and will once more fight A.I.M.S. head-on.

Borrowing the use of Vulcan’s Assault Wolf power, Zero-One achieves the miraculous transformation into Assault Shining Hopper. The next act of the battle with Jin of MetsubouJinrai.net begins as he takes his final stand. Why did Jin take up the mission to “destroy humanity?” What comes next for Is after Jin nearly destroyed her?

ZAIA Enterprise Japan has set out to acquire Hiden Intelligence. ZAIA’s company president Gai brings another astonishing proposal to Aruto who is already in a state of great surprise. ZAIA is selling the next-generation interface “ZAIA Spec” that grants humanity thinking power on par with artificial intelligence.

With an aim towards a takeover Hiden Intelligence, ZAIA Enterprise’s “Five Jobs Contest” has begun. In the first of these battles, a “flower arrangement showdown,” the human representative Rentaro Tachibana won a splendid victory over the Humagear… or so it appeared.

In the first match of the “Five Jobs Contest” between ZAIA Enterprise and Hiden Intelligence, ZAIA has achieved an excellent victory. The immediate next move of ZAIA’s president is a “house-selling match.” It will be a battle between a ZAIA Spec-using human and a Humagear to see who can sell more houses and make more profits.

The second battle between Hiden Intelligence and ZAIA Enterprise in the “Five Jobs Contest” is a “house-selling match.” ZAIA’s elite real-estate salesman Arayashiki used dirty tactics to drive Hiden’s realtor Humagear Smile Sumada into a rampage. Instantly, the showdown between humanity and Humagears trends towards humanity’s favor.

ZAIA has already gained two victories over Hiden in the “Five Jobs Contest” being held around the takeover of Hiden Intelligence. With no more chances left, the next challenge proposed to Hiden Intelligence is a decisive trial showdown. A public prosecutor using ZAIA Spec and an attorney Humagear will contend in a trial over a case of accused marriage fraud.

ZAIA and Hiden are engaged in a “Five Jobs Contest” over the acquisition of Hiden Intelligence. Despite the judicial decision in the third round’s “trial battle” happening soon, Hiden Intelligence’s attorney Humagear has been destroyed by Kamen Rider Thouser, and the clues leading to the true form of the Raider have also ended in vain.

Thanks to the Metal Cluster key created by the Ark, Zero-One has successfully transformed into a new form. However, the Zero-One driver no longer authorizes other Progrise keys due to the Metal Cluster’s power. While Aruto is completely at a loss, a sudden and utterly unexpected visitor arrives! It’s Chiharu, the victim in the marriage fraud trial a few days prior.

Marriage consultant Humagear Match Enmusubi stands in at the mock wedding ceremony. However, at the venue Match is turned into a Magia, and on top of that even a Raider appears. Aruto succeeds at transforming into the forbidden Metal Cluster Hopper and stops the Magia and Raider, but unable to control the form he also goes berserk.

Suddenly, all telecommunications with Satellite There have ceased. From the results of an examination it’s discovered that someone is intentionally obstructing its transmissions. Is calls upon Bot, a doctor Humagear who is in charge of the Humagear development and manufacturing at the Hiden Intelligence Lab, and he begins an investigation into the source of the problem.
