Zi-O's over and the Heisei Kamen Rider is over. Welcome to the Reiwa era! Kamen Rider Zero-OneStory
Japan has entered a new era of technological innovations as Hiden Intelligence, the leading company in artificial intelligence research, develops the human-like HumaGear; who have become a staple in both the public and private sectors. But a cyber-terrorist organization known as "MetsubouJinrai.net" has hacked several of these HumaGears, turning them against society for the sake of eliminating humanity. The government responds by establishing the Artificial Intelligence Military Service, or A.I.M.S., to destroy these sabotaged HumaGears.
The story primarily follows Aruto Hiden, a high schooler who wanted to become a comedian despite his terrible sense of humor. Out of nowhere, he's suddenly appointed the CEO of Hiden Intelligence after his grandfather's death. Although he was initially uninterested due to his school life, Aruto changes his mind after witnessing MetsubouJinrai.net's terrorist attacks firsthand, and becomes Kamen Rider Zero-One to support A.I.M.S. while keeping up appearances as CEO. Together, Aruto and his allies will fight the threat of MetsubouJinrai.net as well as uncover their true motives.

Mr. CD you are aware that the auto translate on youtube is completely whack right?

This is the third time I like the insert music more than the theme song after Cyclone Effect and E-X-A.

After watching the episode, I'm hooked! And "Zero-One" could be in reference to Binary Code! You see a lot of it when Izu helps Aruto learn about his abilities.

^ Yeah, I definitely think it's binary, as well as the Reiwa pun. It would be cool if Aruto's real father shows up later as a prototype Zero Zero. I've seen the episode RAW so I look forward to watching it subbed after I finish Zi-O.

Yeah. I'm starting to suspect that maybe Aruto is a HumaGear. I'm hoping he is human. Otherwise Vulcan will try to destroy him.

I saw the first episode. It pretty was cool. Top-notch action. The part where the HumaGear transform in Rogues (Magia?), losing their skins and showing that metal skulls are soooooo terrifying. Awesome. Very Terminator-ish. I starting to think I'm gonna like the A.I.M.S Riders (Isamu/Vulcan, Yua/Valkirie). The action scenes with the machine guns.....that kinda thing can't be done in America. LOL. So far, it's reminiscent of I, Robot, the Will Smith movie (sure, it was a old novel from Asimov), and Terminator. Aaaaaaand the elephant in the room. I'm not entirely sold in the comedian Rider. Sorry, Aruto, you are not my type of people. I have a feeling in the guts, I'm gonna dislike him. Like hate him. His jokes are bad, even for japanese standards. Also, nepotism. He is chosen as C.E.O. of a corporation, because grandpa said it. Ummmmmm, nope. There is shades of hope in the backstory with the fallen HumaGear. But a comedian Rider?. I have the feeling, even with the whole change to the Reiwa era, it still feels like a Neo Heisei show.

I have the feeling, even with the whole change to the Reiwa era, it still feels like a Neo Heisei show. Sure, there's some residue of Heisei in the Reiwa Era. Only so much can change in the week between the last episode of Zi-O and the first episode of Zero One. I wasn't expecting it to be totally different and revolutionary for the franchise. The formula is already pretty good so it doesn't need to change too much. But I still notice they're trying some new things like only 1 rider and form at the start, they're focusing more on plot and Metsuboujinrai are distinct from the typical KR villains. Aruto wanting to use his power to make people laugh shows that he's a good guy who goes beyond saving lives and he cares about humans and HumaGears indiscriminately. And his jokes are supposed to be received poorly, which they are. He has a very niche audience.

So far I really like Zero One. Aruto could so easily be super annoying, but fortunately he is not. Fuwa I don't care for him at all. Yua I haven't made my mind up about yet, but right now she's trending toward my liking her. I also prefer the insert theme to the main theme. The Henshin jingle is so catchy it's kind of stuck in my head.
I didn't know what to expect when we transitioned from the Heisei era to the Reiwa era. Admittedly there isn't a huge time gap between the two like there was between the Showa and Heisei era.
