The transformation item that can be said to be the culmination of the Heisei Rider series is born here. This product is a must-have for all those who own the DX ZIKU-DRIVER. Below, we will fully promote the merits of this watch.

Titled
This is what's amazing about the DX Grand Zi-O Ride Watch!
① The explanation sound is amazing
The character explanation sound that plays when the Ride Watch button is pressed a second time is the same as the words read out by Rikiya Koyama's narrator in the opening of this Zi-O movie.
These are great words that get you excited just by hearing them.



② Sougo's lines are amazing
Like previous Rider's strongest form linked items, this product also includes some lines from the main character.
Starting with the familiar "I feel like I can do it!", a total of six songs are included.

3. The transformation standby sound is amazing
When this watch is inserted, the transformation standby sound will start to play from the watch instead of from ZIKU-DRIVER.
The audio includes all the transformation sounds of the previous Riders from Kuuga to Zi-O, as well as keywords contained in the transformation sounds (such as Rider Time and Best Match), and is composed into one connected melody.
It is a magnificent and moving audio that looks back on the history of Heisei Rider.
Normally, the transformation standby sound is a repeated sound that lasts for about 3 to 4 seconds, but this transformation standby sound lasts for a whopping 22 seconds!

4. The transformation sounds are awesome
The image below, which has already been released, lists the names of the Riders from Kuuga to Grand Zi-O, and Grand Zi-O's transformation sound has been made into a wonderful song.
The time was more than 30 seconds!



This transformation sound can truly be said to be the culmination of the Heisei Riders, and it's so catchy that you'll find yourself humming it naturally!
These transformation sounds are perfect for remembering the Heisei Riders!

5. It includes an abbreviated version of the transformation sound, which is amazing.
"Shine - like a shooting star - the strongest golden gamer! Hyper Muteki Ex-Aid!" is the sound of Ex-Aid's transformation into his strongest form, Muteki Gamer, but it was only played twice in the movie, when he first appeared and in the summer movie version.
After that, it was basically shortened and the shortened version that played was "Hyper Muteki Ex-Aid!"
It's an incredibly cool transformation sound, however, due to production constraints, it is often not possible to depict it in that amount of time in a film.
Because of this, we've actually taken that into consideration and included a shortened version of the transformation sound in this product!
If you press and hold the activation button, it will change to the shortened mode. If you simply insert it into your belt and transform, the parts up to "Kuuga to Build" will be omitted and the transformation sound will become "Grand time! Celebrate! KAMEN RIDER Grand Zi-O!"

This concludes our introduction to the Grand Zi-O Ridewatch.
Be sure to get it!
