Kamen Rider ZI-O News and Rumours Disscussion Thread
One can only assume this Rider will be stronger than before.

only thing I have in mind when seeing "ZI-O" like that is "Den-O" and how ZI would be something like "Zeronos Imagin"

Masked Rider Zeo? |

It's pronounced Ji-ou (or geo) so I guess it's a combination of the characters 字 (from kanji) and 王 (king). |
Someone on Reddit pointed out that it could be read as "The O", which then got me thinking that it could be the "The King" (since O can mean king).
Which could make it Kamen Rider "The King". Ninja'd |
Could also be Geo as in geography and stuff. I remember hearing a rumour that 'adventure' and 'assembly' would be a theme so that adds up
|
I was going to say I'm disappointed it's not Kamen Rider Score (Decade 10 -> Score 20), when I realized that I have the series numbering messed-up due to (1) Amazons, and (2) the Heisei era coming to an end in April of 2019. So this will either be the 19th or 20th Heisei Kamen Rider series depending on whether you count Amazons and whether it'll still be considered a Heisei series, since it'll bridge two eras.
Also because the name "Kamen Rider Score" would've better fit for Hojo Emu. Yay for a name that invites less speculation? I expect Galador is right about guessing the "oh" could reference "king." |
I don't know why but Zi-O sounds Chinese to me. inb4 Legend Hero crossover
But in all seriousness I'm expecting a construction worker theme |
I can already see people using the number theory again.
|
Geo seems plausible. "Kamen Rider World" was an older special iirc, so it could be a mild throwback to that. Could be an Atlas rider, and there are a lot of world plays that fit into that Geo/World theme.
Or it could be something about a king rider. They've done that a few times though with Faiz, Blade, and Kiva. So that wouldn't be a far stretch either. Could be something no-one has guessed yet too. Likely some kind of anniversary nod though. Wonder if it'll be a split season one like Decade to W was. |
Just had a dream a couple of days ago about the next Rider being revealed. All I remember was that his main color was green
|
Damnit, I was already beaten to the "Zeo" joke :lol
|
This sounds like fun.
Those "leaked" pictures might have been onto something. What with the series being the last Heisei series, yet the start of a new era. On the contrary, it could be "Geo" or use the kanji for "Kanji" and "King". So, we've got either Rider fusion, rock powers, or something like Shinkenger. |
If this is legit it is a nice mix of references. Starting off we got the Kamen Rider ZO reference which itself was a tribute to the franchise's 20th anniversary(don't ask me why it is how Toei marked it :lolol) and this year would be Kamen Rider ZO's 25th anniversary. And now to look at the potential references, like what others before this post have pointed out, this can also mean that the rider is to be considered a "king" of sorts as it can be translated into "The King". I am not convinced about the alternate romanization being Geo because "ジ" can be typically romanized as Ji or Zi than Ge by itself, as Ge is mostly written as "ゲ". Of course, there are exceptions such as the prefix Geo which can be written as "ジオ" but the fact that it is written "ジオウ" does not convince me enough that it is nothing more than ZI-O. Anyhoos, looking forward to additional info that will be revealed during summer.

Of course it doesn't look like anything but ZI-O. But pronunciation wise..... |
You thought the next rider would be ninja,dinosaur,etc themed but it was I Di- Zio!
Anyway jokes, if his name is supposed to be Geo then maybe this rider will use different rocks types as his gimmick. |
I'm really curious to see what they do with this season. It's the 20th Heisei series/10th Neo Heisei series. I'm expecting something celebratory.
|
This will probably be our first non Heisei rider if the Emperor of Japan is stepping down soon.
|
If Zi-O was geography-themed Rider, I think it will be interesting if his Forms is based on various countries in the World. Yes, maybe will be very similar to Battle Fever J.
|
Imagine if we were all wrong about the pronunciation and it turned out it was actually “Zeddy Rey.”
|

"Kamen Rider Zeddy Rey! Set the Power Instrument into the Stardrome Driver! Crank the volume! Henshin! Save the world from the Armageddon Orchestra! DX Stardrome Driver and DX 'Rigel Electric' Power Instrument in stores now!" |
I say this if it is part of the fake rider scans we saw a few weeks ago the show is gonna be tacky looking.
|
I am intrigued to see how Zi-O turns out, it does excite me. I am glad people have figured out the pronunciation of the name with Geo. lol
|
well since they is a lack of a katakana or hiragana for ZI, since its Sa/Za, Shi/Ji, Su/Zu, Se/Ze, So/Zo often times Ji doubles for Zi as well making things complicated since JI also doubles for DI like in Radio, Rajio if i'm not mistaken.
The O part is indeed clearly Ou like like king though written in kana instead of Kanji it only gives us the sound. So we have Kamen Rider Geo/Jio/Zeo Since they did write it with Z guess its going the Zeo route so let the meme's roll in I guess. I wonder what the theme will be. Also in yugioh there was "Elemental Hero Ji Asu" for The Earth/Terra Firma. so Perhaps its THE King. |
Any predictions on who's writing and directing?
|
I have no idea what to make of the name on this one honestly. Build and Ex-Aid I could speculate on but I got nothing here! I really hope this is going to be a good one since it is kicking off a new era!
|
Kamen Rider Joe - Coffee / Military theme, NAYELLED EHT!
|
I had a similar idea for a KR name.
|
I’m expecting something like a dinosaur theme next.
But what theme for this Zi-O!? |
Quote:
And maybe. It rings a bell, but it's a blank spot era one potentially. Like Build and some others were. So no clue. Likely a split season one though, or they have some other specials planned. Marmalade is still a few years out(maybe 2). And unlike Ninpo, is still in design development hell. That's all I know. Wonder if it'll have an Orb type henshin device. Zi-O G-O GO! The World King Rider. So yeah, might be that one after all. With a belt feature reminiscent of decade's in a different way and doesn't use cards. If they follow the pattern from last time though, means we might be getting some variation of Shocker for the badguys again then. Or a splinter cell from Shocker. |

Though it wouldn't surprise me if it had a Rider DNA/Orb copy powers upgrades like how Decade & Gokai did. Though I don't think they'll go full out TFTM Matrix style like R/B did either. |
Awww...I was really hoping they would go with a bar code scan motif.
|
With the way it's spelled, maybe the I-O is referring to the 1s and 0s of binary code? Maybe one of the themes is computer programming. This might give an idea to the job, or rider suit theme, but not likely the whatever the collectable thing is. That's usually based on the second theme.
|
You all got it wrong. He's gonna be the King Of Zippers. ZIpper-Oh.

I would love a VR theme Rider series.

We'll see because Zi has also more Earth mana connotations too. |
