You said "Next Week". We're in the middle of the weekend. Plus, with my job, Sunday doesn't start the week. Wednesday does.

^ Okay, sorry for the misunderstanding. From the perspective of the poster to whom I replied at the time of his post, it's next week. Now it's tomorrow. I don't even consider Sunday to start the week, I just meant it's Super Hero Time.

It's cool. I got a lot going on right now. Namely trying to figure out how the hell I'm gonna get to Baltimore, MD on Friday for Comic-Con, prepare for the con, etc.

I watched ep 6 and 7. Gosh, the writing is pretty good. Specially Ep 6, with the seiyuu Humagear and her "father". It was like some good Black Mirror's episode. The ethics and moral use of the HumaGears. Some of this reminds me of the Nurse Robots that Japan are developing, to taking care of the elderly and terminal patients. This is something that bothers me, at philosophical level. If the people start building exact replicas of human beings, the mankind lost some of its humanity? And the actor portraying the father, gave a class of acting. He looks pretty pathetic, and sad. It was definitely, a bitter sweet ending. Episode 7 treated almost in the same way, with a hot-blooded Humager PE teacher, who start to gain "awareness". But probably the best thing in both episdoes is Yua. Gosh, I love her. Her Lightning Hornet mode is awesome. And she is cold as hell, filming how a HumaGear transform into Magia only for the knowledge....She is really cold. I love how she protected those schoolgirls from Jin's attack with her body. My only grip: Jin and Horobi. I still don't feel them. The plan is good, their personalities are awesome, the idea of the relationship "father-son" is great....in paper. In execution? I dunno. The actors still don't sell me their performances.

I watched episode 8 thanks to Overtime uploading it super early this week. Horobi reveals that he's a HumaGear like his son which explains why he has no problem with committing genocide against humanity. Considering how recent episodes have been focusing on unethical HumaGear laws enforced by humans, he's at least a little justified in his resentment of them. Seine was going to be shut down and turning her in to a MaGear may have been her only chance to live.
So far, the singularity suggests that HumaGears really were invented for humanity's prosperity and Daybreak is the result of sentient HumaGears turning on their creators. Just like humans, sentience can be used to commit both good and evil acts, but Isamu will use any excuse to destroy HumaGears. The evil power used for good trope is still inverted.
Horobi's debut was bad*ss! After that Sting Dystopia, Isamu will need to put his life in the hands of HumaGears if he wants to stay in the fight.
Sting Scorpion is the only Progrise Key not to have an adjective in the name. Maybe the "ing" suffix confused them and they actually meant for it to be called Stinging Scorpion.
It's cool how Takaiwa and Eitoku are the suit actors for Horobi and Jin respectively. Even though they're not the primary and secondary riders, they're still a unit.

I was at the Baltimore Comic-Con this weekend where I ran into comic book artist, and fellow D.C. native, S.L. Gallant, who I met at Awesome Con where he signed my "Ghostbusters Answer The Call: 35th Anniversary" issue, which he worked on, six months ago. He's a fellow Kamen Rider fan and is definitely watching Zero-One. He told me to watch it and I told him I'd been busy with stuff like being drained from work. But I promised I would. I told him about my names for the five Riders for my adaptation and he liked them. He also liked my Ziku Driver when I showed it to him with my Fourze Ridewatch. He drew that picture of OOO fighting Snake-Eyes. That's how I knew he was one of us.

^What does this have to do with Kamen Rider Zero One? Answer absolutely nothing. You do this in every thread in almost every other post. Look if you want to discuss the cons you go to or who you're cosplaying as that's fine go right ahead and knock yourself out, but do it on twitter or make a blog or discuss it in the lounge but these posts do not belong here.

That part is what it has to do with Zero-One! We talked about it this weekend! And it shows you never know where you'll find a fellow Rider fan!

^ I agree. I met a dude IRL a few months ago who watched KR and even owned a whole bunch of the merchandise!

Exact, Sh Ranger! When I was at the same con where those two pictures were taken, I met a guy who was in full, head to toe Kamen Rider Kabuto Rider Form armor when we met over four years ago! We've been friends ever since! I even named the Red Ranger of my tenth team after him!

I wonder if Aruto will get some more forms before his upgraded ones. It'd be cool to see him using a Boar form. Maybe even using the Giraffe & Hercules Progrise Keys or borrowing one of Isamu & Yua's!

I called that there would be a prototype called Zero Zero and except for the One at the end, I was correct. 01 and 001 are numerically the same though. I appreciate the continuity with the 12 year old Forceriser being immune to the time manipulation. If only the show, Kamen Rider Zi-O, was more consistent with its own logic.
I'm calling now that Another Zero One will usurp not just the title and power of Zero One, but the position of Hiden Intelligence President as well, considering Korenosuke's will mentioned that only his successor can become Zero One. This is something Jun has been trying to take from Aruto since the start. Maybe a hint at Another Zero One's identity? Alternatively, it could be the original human Soreo considering this movie is supposed to have an important revelation about an event of the past.
I'm also calling now that the Christmas victim will be Jin. Aruto has to reclaim his Falcon Key somehow since it doesn't look like Progrise Keys can be replicated without unique ID. There's also the sign that Jin hasn't got any upcoming power-ups and Horobi could have made Ansatsu-chan to replace him as a more obedient son. The roles of the pink and yellow riders could be switched this time.
