I just had the epiphany that Narutaki really is just that person on street corners who wears the sign that talks about the end of the world happening except replace/or combine "end of the world" with "This is somehow Decade's fault."
Also what Decade is to Narutaki is what Gorgom is to Kotaro. |

This one obviously is not intentional but still a messed up coincidence.
Takayuki Tsubaki (Kenzaki's actor) got his face messed up a few years ago I believe when some dude beat him up in traffic? And Blade's suit has its face damaged as well, due to bad lighting conditions causing it to yellow. |

Thouser's finishers are in English instead of Japanese because ZAIA is an international organization instead of being based in Japan like Hiden, A.I.M.S. or metsubojinrai.net.

The animal abilities in Kamen Rider Zero-One is a blatant reference to biomimicry, a real-world technological developmental process that creates new technology by mimicking organisms. For example, modern-day solar panels mimic a plant's photosynthetic functions and velcro (or perhaps I should say hook-and-loop fasteners so I don't get sued by Velcro) mimics a bur's ability to latch on to things.
That's why most of the Progrise Keys says stuff like 'Grasshopper's Ability' or other animals' ability. |

This feels really obvious, but: the reason Thouser's transformation and finishers all mention ZAIA by name, and that his finisher graphics even have a little copyright watermark, is to characterise Gai as the kind of greedy, selfish businessman who'll turn anything into an excuse to advertise his brand.

They say that because the Attache Weapons say "Ready to utilize..." when a key is inserted into them and then the key completes the phrase by saying "animal’s ability". It's just a play feature; I doubt there's any meaning behind that phrase. |

Oh goodness I get it now. The keys are animals. The Ark. Noah's Ark. It's a Bible reference. |
