BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

MetsubouJinrai.net...I'll never forgive you...!
Hello everyone. This is Funasen...!

Reservations for the CSM Amazons Driver were closed last week.
We have received more reservations than we expected, and are now accepting reservations for the third round.
Thank you very much.

In terms of development progress, we are currently in the final stages of editing the sound.
I've watched it over and over again and am currently working on creating the most enjoyable audio flow, so I will continue to work hard on its development.

Well, today...I'm a bit low on CSM-related material (I'll talk about the Delta Gear, which will be shipped at the end of this month, next week), so I'll write a bit about KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE.

Did you take a look at the "KAMEN RIDER Official Portal Site KAMEN RIDER DOUBLE WEB", which was updated after the broadcast ended yesterday?
Among them, the "KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE" page has something very interesting listed on the "This Week's Items" page.
I think there are probably many people who haven't seen it yet, so I'd like to introduce it to you.
This is an image that will especially please adult fans. Here it is...!


"KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE Shooting Wolf"!!!

Speaking of the page, it is listed below.

What would happen if KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE transformed into the "Shooting Wolf Progrise Key"? The answer to that fantasy is here.

In recent works, although they do not appear as suits in the story, there are an increasing number of forms that exist as items and can be seen on toy packaging and in Ganbarising.
For example," KAMEN RIDER ZI-O O Agito Armor" and" KAMEN RIDER BUILD Shika Mid Form".
Although each of these transformation items exists in the play, they are forms that are never depicted in the play.
Because it can exist in a physical form, illustrations of it have been featured on the packaging of DX toys and it has also appeared as CG in Ganbarising.
In that respect it seems to be a similar approach.
However, what I think is a new attempt is the depiction of a form that has never been depicted before: what happens when the main rider uses an item that is used as the "basic form of another rider?"​
In previous riders, there were many cases where the belt was the same but the items were different, so for example, if "Emu = Ex-Aid" uses Taddle Quest, will it become "KAMEN RIDER EX-AID Quest Gamer" and have a different visual from Brave, or will the visual be exactly the same since the hardware and software are the same? There were many cases where the conclusion was not clear.
(Well, there is an example of a "transformer-specific" case, where KAMEN RIDER Baron's Lemon Energy Arms and KAMEN RIDER Duke's Lemon Energy Arms have the same hardware and software but different visuals.)

However, this year's KAMEN RIDER 1 and 2 have clearly different HENSHIN BELT systems, clearly indicating that design adjustments will be made to suit the specifications of each hardware.
Therefore, when you imagine what would happen if you used someone else's main item on your device, it's not just a vague guess, but a realistic picture that clearly shows a different outcome!

So, the aim of this project is to actually draw it.
The transformation sound also has a melody that can only be heard when using the Zero-One Driver, so I hope you will enjoy playing with the Shooting Wolf Progrise Key while letting your imagination run wild with this illustration.

KAMEN RIDER Valkyrie will appear next week.
And the one he uses is the "Rushing Cheetah Progrise Key".
That means... look forward to next week's "KAMEN RIDER DOUBLE WEB"!

That's all for today's blog.
The next update will be next week on Tuesday, September 17th. See you!
