BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

Hello everyone. This is Funasen.

Next week is the final episode of KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE!
To commemorate this, starting today...
"DX Memorial Progrise Key Set SIDE AIMS & ZAIA"
We have started accepting pre-orders for two products, "DX Memorial Progrise Key Set SIDE Metsuboujinrai.net"!

 

Continuing on from the "KAMEN RIDER EX-AID" "DX Memorial Finish Gashat Set," two new products from Zero-One are now available as part of the "Memorial Item" series of light-up and sound-emitting key items!
For those who are experiencing this memorial item for the first time, let me briefly explain the concept.
1. The sounds of transformation and special moves have been recreated to include sound effects from the movie.
② It contains many of the characters' famous lines. ​
This is an item that allows you to look back on the past year of the series and enjoy the memories at your fingertips.

For ①, this time,
Includes sounds for when mechanical animals appear.
●Added the sound of armor sticking to the body.
●Two new features have been added to the text effects of special moves: "sound effects where the letters appear one by one across the entire screen" and "the name of the special move is read out again when the special move explodes."
That's how it is.
The biggest feature of Zero One's combat is the text display of special moves.
I think the addition of this sound increases the level of NARIKIRI even more than previous memorial items.


Since a large number of KAMEN RIDER appear in this film, the products will be released separately.

In "SIDE AIMS & ZAIA," in addition to the keys of the riders from the two factions whose organizations are close in location, a new item will be included: the "Japanese Wolf Zetsumerise Key," which was also used to transform into" KAMEN RIDER Rider Orthros Vulcan" in yesterday's broadcast.

 The startup sound, "Japanese Wolf!", also has two different versions, and depending on the mode it changes to "Japanese Wolf..." as Dead, or "Japanese Wolf!" as Vulcan.
Putting it in the Shot Riser does not mean it will be for Vulcan, but rather it is simply a matter of switching between modes, so for example, you can also use the Force Riser to activate the Orthros Vulcan transformation sound! This means that it is a substantial key with two variations of the transformation sound.
The transformation standby sound for Orthros Vulcan has also changed.
The Shot Riser will say "KAMEN RIDER", but did you notice that the key side also says "WARNING"?
The audio also conveys that Fuwa, who had lost his ability to transform, was forced to undergo a dangerous transformation with the help of Noboru.

The Shot Riser has two special moves, "●● Blast!" and "●● Blast Fever!", but because the sound for "Fever" comes from the belt, there is no way for the key to tell whether the Shot Riser is on or off the belt.
Therefore, when "reading out the move name again when the special move is completed," we have included a function that allows you to choose how to press the button during the special move (short press/long press) so that the sound with the "fever" attached can be played from the key side as you wish.


"SIDE MetsubouJinrai.net"​ ​includes new items such as the "Arkscorpion Progrise Key" and "Zetsumetsu Driver Unit" that are used to transform into KAMEN RIDER Kamen Rider Metsu Arkscorpion", which was featured in yesterday's broadcast!



By replacing the cover parts of the Zero-One Driver, the "Extinction Driver" is completed.
Unlike the Zero Two Driver Unit, this cover is designed so that the switch on the side cannot be pressed, so the sound configuration is basically the same as that of the Zero One Driver.
The central diamond design imitates the MetsubouJinrai.net organizational mark, and there are parts that incorporate elements of the Force Riser, making it a design that is full of Metsubou-ness.
As this part is a new design, it is currently in the design stages and will be released in February, one month later than the SIDE AIMS products.

The transformation sound also comes from the fact that they are both riders born from the same Ark, so it is in English- "Destruction, Ruin, Despair, Extinction" - to pair with Ark One's phrase "Destruction, Ruin, Despair, Perish."​
Another unique feature of this item is that immediately after "Progress!" the key will make an "Arc..." sound.


Additionally, although it is not stated on the reservation page, Azu's lines will also be included on the Arc Scorpion Progrise Key!
In episode 44, Az said the exact same words to Metsubou that he said to Aruto.
By including each of their lines in the Ark One Progrise Key and the Ark Scorpion Progrise Key, the items will feel like a pair.

And with the introduction of this memorial key, there is something we are trying to do to get everyone in line.



The DX Arc Driver will also feature a "Memorial Mode" that will play out the special move sounds in a way that "reads out text sound effects and move names multiple times" just like in the movie!
When you turn the power on while pressing the button on the top of the Ark Driver, you will hear the startup sound "Ark Driver," complete with the sound effect of Ark-sama possessing you, and the device will enter Memorial Mode.

Since Ark Zero's special moves are not linked to the Progrise Keys, the sounds used for them, including in normal mode, are based on the scenes in the movie.
On the other hand, Ark One has key linkage, so in normal mode you can hear the special move sound linked with other Progrise Keys, and the move name is not read out multiple times; it has the same sound as a normal DX belt.
In "Memorial Mode," the belt will ring out "Perfect Conclusion" after the sound of the special move, so it doesn't link with other keys and is a standalone product, allowing you to enjoy sound play that is faithful to the scenes from the movie.

Other songs that will be included include "Evil Emission Sounds," which features a unique high-pitched tone.
The Ark One Progrise Key also includes the "Malice Learning Ability" as well as the sound of Aruto transforming into Ark One using only the key, as depicted in episode 42!
So, the audio is quite luxurious.


That's all for today's blog.
The next update will be on Monday, August 31st.


Well, with SIDE AIMS & ZAIA and SIDE MetsubouJinrai.net, what's left is...


Well then!
