So, in today's special blog update, I would like to explain everything about KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE toys that have been released.
First···
"HENSHIN BELT DX HIDEN ZERO-ONE DRIVER"!!



As the show is themed around AI, we came up with a sharp and super cool design that evokes a futuristic feeling.
The concept of this year's main rider HENSHIN BELT is "a two-step transformation game involving sensor authentication and then loading a linked item."​
This year's key item is an item that lights up and sounds on its own! It's called the "Progrise Key."​



Here, we will explain the transformation process using the keys for Zero-One's main form, "Rising Hopper."



① Press the button on the Progrise Key to start it up. You will hear a "Jump!" sound.
② Hold the activated Progrise Key over the authentication section of HIDEN ZERO-ONE DRIVER.
You will then hear a voice saying "Authorize" from the Progrise Key, and the "scanning sound" and "transformation standby sound" will start to ring from the belt.
(Authorize means to authenticate. By holding the Progrise Key over the belt, the belt authenticates the Progrise Key.
The great thing about this game is that by touching it, it authenticates that you have scanned not only the "HENSHIN BELT side" but also the "Progrise Key side," and a sound will be played.
In other words, it's a gimmick called "mutual authentication"! 
DEN-O BELT was also a game where you scanned the pass, but it was only designed to recognize one side.
This belt has evolved into a new gimmick that allows mutual scanning authentication.
③ After scanning and playing the transformation standby sound, extend the movable part of the Progrise Key 180 degrees and insert it into the slot of HIDEN ZERO-ONE DRIVER.
④ When inserted, the front cover part (the plated part) of HIDEN ZERO-ONE DRIVER will slide open and the transformation sound will be activated.
As many of you may have already heard, the super cool transformation sound rings out: "Jump up! Rising Hopper! A jump to the sky turns to a rider kick."​

That's how it is.

By the way, if you do not activate the Progrise Key and set it on the belt without scanning it, an error sound called "Error Rise" will sound.
This means that you cannot transform unless you properly authenticate.

Furthermore, after transforming, you can press the Progrise Key again to activate a special move.
Special moves can also be powered up by several levels, but we'll save the details for another time.


As a new initiative, the DX HIDEN ZERO-ONE DRIVER will be sold in advance through a lottery.


The lottery will be open for one day only, from today, August 1st (Thursday) until tomorrow, August 2nd (Friday) at 10:59am.
​The products will be delivered in mid-August, prior to the general release on Saturday, August 31st.
You can play during the Obon holidays!!
This is the first time we've been able to play the game so far in advance of the show's broadcast.
It's like a movie preview.
It also comes with the "Zero-One Ride Watch", which is a campaign item for the release of the "DX HIDEN ZERO-ONE DRIVER", so if you want to be sure to get your hands on a campaign item, it's worth trying this lottery!

Next, we will introduce two products that will be released as early as this weekend, on Saturday, August 3rd.
① "DX Flying Falcon Progrise Key"!!



This is an item that allows you to transform into "KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE Flying Falcon," which also appeared in "KAMEN RIDER ZI-O Over Quartzer."
The way to play with it is the same as the "Rising Hopper Progrise Key," so you can enjoy it on its own as it lights up and makes sounds, and we hope you will pick it up in preparation for HENSHIN BELT that will be released later.

Next, another one
② Soft vinyl "Rider Hero Series 01 KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE Rising Hopper"!



This is a familiar soft vinyl item.
We hope you'll be one of the first to get your hands on the new KAMEN RIDER visuals, which were created using techniques different from those used in the Heisei Riders!



And...this year's KAMEN RIDER has been a group drama featuring multiple riders from the start, and a second HENSHIN BELT suddenly appears.
that name as well
"HENSHIN BELT DX Ames Shot Riser"!!



This item allows the user to transform into Kamen KAMEN RIDER Vulcan and KAMEN RIDER Valkyrie, two KAMEN RIDER who belong to the special organization AIMS.
Like the DX HIDEN ZERO-ONE DRIVER, the belt name has the organization's name at the beginning.

This HENSHIN BELT can be enjoyed in two ways: as a gun or as HENSHIN BELT.
It is possible to transform either with the gun attached to the belt or held in the hand, and the transformation sequences for the two characters appear to be different as well.

The way to transform this is as follows:



① Press the button on the Progrise Key to start it up.
② Extend the movable part of the Progrise Key 180 degrees and set it on the Aims Shot Riser.
⇒When you set it up, the Progrise Key passes through the scanning section, activating the sound "Authorize" and the transformation standby sound will begin to play from the main unit.
③ Pull the trigger to activate the transformation sound!

What's new this year is that for the first time ever, two types of HENSHIN BELT will be released at the same time!​
The same Progrise Key can be linked with various belts and weapon devices, allowing for deep gameplay.
We hope you will enjoy the ensemble drama of multiple riders through this product.

Next up:
"DX Progrise Holder & Rushing Cheetah Progrise Key"!!!



This year's holder item comes in a set of two, each capable of holding one Progrise Key.
It can be attached to either side of the belt and is compatible with both the DX HIDEN ZERO-ONE DRIVER and the DX Aims Shot Riser.

Also included is the "Rushing Cheetah Progrise Key", an item used to transform into" KAMEN RIDER Valkyrie"!!
Please also check out this product along with the Aims Shot Riser.
By the way, we will also be releasing a set product that includes this product and the "DX HIDEN ZERO-ONE DRIVER."

And weapons!
"DX Attache Calibur"!!



This year's weapon is a transformable "attache case"! It's a very interesting concept.
After transforming it into a sword, you can return it to the briefcase to charge it, then transform it again to unleash a special move!
It also works with the Progrise Key, allowing you to insert it to unleash powerful special moves!
Furthermore, this weapon is not Zero One's exclusive weapon, but is also used by Vulcan and Valkyrie.
It's also a must-have for NARIKIRI playing as one of the three riders!

Finally, the figure.
"RKF KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE Rising Hopper"!!



Following on from last year, the RKF series will be releasing movable figures.
This year's version will not be able to change form, but we have managed to faithfully recreate its sleek proportions!
Not only Zero One, but also Vulcan, Valkyrie and others will be appearing one after another, so you can enjoy combining them into cool poses!
It would also be nice to imagine a winter movie and compare it with Zi-O!

That concludes today's KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE toy feature!
We have a wide range of toys lined up right from the start, and the BANDAI Zero One development staff will do their best to create products that everyone can enjoy, so we hope you will continue to support us!

That's all for today's blog.
The next update will be on Monday, August 5th.

Well then!
