It seems that we have our first look at the second quarter already (a few weeks earlier than normal). Introducing Kamen Rider Thouser, presented by Zaia!
With two Rise Keys: Perfect Rise! Kamen Rider Thouser transforms by inserting the Amazing Caucasus Progrise Key and the Awaking Arsino Zetsumerise Key into the Zaia ThousanDriver.
To transform, insert the Zetsumerise Key into the Zaia ThousanDriver: “Extinction evolution!”. Then activate the Progrise Key! By pressing the button, the key automatically springs open: “Break horn!”. Next, insert the Progrise Key: “Perfect Rise!”
The belt’s door will then open, which reveals the motif in the centre: “As five horns meet, the golden soldier THOUSER is born. Presented by ZAIA.” The five horns are the Caucasus beetle’s three horns and the extinct Arsinoitherium’s two horns, which combine to form Thouser’s mask.
Press the Progrise Key to activate a finishing move: “Amazing! Break!” Optionally, you can insert any Progrise Key into the ThousanDriver to perform a finisher attack: “Breakrise! Progrise Break!”
Kamen Rider Thouser’s personal weapon is the Thousand Jacker. Pull on the end of the grip to activate its finisher, Data Jack: “Jackrise!” Or, insert a Progrise Key to activate a finisher: “Progrise Key confirmed. Ready to Break.”
The ThousanDriver and Thousand Jacker will release in late December. Two Progrise Keys for Kamen Rider Zi-O and Kamen Rider Decade will also be released in January.

It has been announced that 18-year-old Fumiya Takahashi will portray Aruto Hiden, the young president of Hiden Intelligence. As per his grandfather's will, Aruto, who wants to be a comedian even though he has no sense of laughter, becomes the 2nd president of Hiden Intelligence. After witnessing an out of control Human Gear attacking, Aruto decides to use the Zero-One Driver to transform into Kamen Rider Zero-One.
The series theme focuses on AI (artificial intelligence) and how AI affects humans in terms of "careers". Kamen Rider Zero-One's world introduces AI that have become cooks, athletes, doctors, and even artists. Human Gear, which are AI robots, are developed by the leading company in artificial intelligence, Hiden Intelligence. The Human Gear were made so that they are almost indistinguishable from humans, and have been integrated into various workplaces.
However, a terrorist cell known as "Ruinous Thunder.net" (Metsubou Jinrai.net) have been hacking Human Gears in order to further their plan to eradicate humanity. The government’s Cabinet Secretariat agency, acting quickly after detecting their actions, established the anti-artificial intelligence A.I.M.S Squad. Standing for Artificial Intelligence Military Service, they have the authority to dispose of Human Gear that have been confirmed as risks to civilians. They also have the authority to apprehend cyber terrorists that have been involved in cyber crimes.
The leader of the anti-artificial intelligence agency, A.I.M.S, is Isamu Fuwa / Kamen Rider Vulcan played by Ryutaro Okada (25). He is in charge of maintaining the city's security and fighting the terrorists. The technical advisor of A.I.M.S, Yua Yaiba / Kamen Rider Valkyrie, is portrayed by Igeta Hiroe (22).
Izu, the Human Gear secretary of Hiden Intelligence's president, is portrayed by Noa Tsurushima (18).
The terrorist cell Ruinous Thunder.net is comprised of Jin, portrayed by Daisuke Nakagawa (21), and Horobi, portrayed by Shuya Sunagawa (24).
Rounding out the cast is comedian Kazuya Kojima (47), who portrays Jun Fuyue, the vice-president of Hiden Intelligence. Though he wishes for the success of the company, he wishes nothing more than to see the new president fail.
A champion of AI, Kamen Rider Zero-One fights against both Ruinous Thunder.net, who wish to use AI for evil, and A.I.M.S, the anti-AI squad!

A set of photos, featuring the Flying Falcon Progrise Key, have leaked. The photos confirm that the Keys open to reveal the respective animal’s skeletal structure underneath the main cover.
A few product photos, for Kamen Rider-branded foods, have also leaked. These photos give us our first good look at the Kamen Rider Zero-One logo, as well as Kamen Rider Zero-One’s, Kamen Rider Vulcan’s, and Kamen Rider Valkyrie’s suits. It also gives us confirmation that Kamen Rider Valkyrie is a woman.

The 4th quarter catalogue for Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger is here! Though rather small, we do get a new Kishiryu mech and a new power-up!
Finally, the Kishiryu of the sky appears, it’s name is Pterardon! Transform from “Pit Mode” into a giant pterosaur; the Kishiryu gliding through the blue skies!! With clear parts for its body, Pterardon can transform into YokuRyuOh and also combine with Tyramigo to form Ptyramigo. Red and Gold use the strongest Ryusoul Armor; with the HieHie Soul, the user obtains blizzard powers!
With a new transformation item, Red obtains his strongest power-up! Finally, Red will use the final and strongest Ryusoul to transform into his strongest form. The Max Ryusoul can be inserted into the power-up item, which will cause it to open up. This allows Ryusoul Red to transform into Max Ryusoul Red.

Introducing the first Kamen Rider of the Reiwa era, Kamen Rider Zero-One!
Using the Zero-One Driver and the Progrise Keys, Kamen Rider Zero-One can access different forms and abilities. His main form is Rising Hopper, which grants him the jump ability. Other Progrise Keys that Zero-One will use include Flying Falcon, Biting Shark (ability: Jaws), Flaming Tiger (ability: Fire), and Freezing Bear (ability: Blizzard). Kamen Rider Zero-One will also be able to transform into a mecha-like form called Breaking Mammoth (ability: Press).
The AIMS ShotRiser is a gun-like device that can be used as a transformation belt as well. Both Kamen Rider Vulcan and Kamen Rider Valkyrie will use the ShotRiser to transform. Kamen Rider Vulcan has access to the Shooting Wolf (ability: Bullet) and Punching Kong (ability: Power) Progrise Keys while Kamen Rider Valkyrie uses the Rushing Cheetah and Lightning Hornet (ability: Thunder) Keys.
Another Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider Horobi, uses the ForceRiser to transform with the Sting Scorpion (ability: Poison) Key. It’s likely that a fifth Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider Jin, will also use the ForceRiser along with the Flying Falcon Key to transform.
Finally, Kamen Rider Zero-One’s first power-up is called Shining Hopper while Kamen Rider Vulcan’s is called Assault Wolf.
