This "Exterminate Riser"... can it somehow relate to a new rider, who could possibly be the Ark's AI gaining sentience?

It'll be the main antagonist I hope. Ultron/SkyNet style!

I could be wrong, but didn't we already get official DX listings only for the one belt and progrise key for the final upgrade? Seems a bit strange that they would release a lot of additional items that were not already officially listed.

You mean these?

As far as I can see from that the only gimmick for Metal Cluster is some form of flip-thingy at the back of the progrise key, the arrow in it suggests that to me atleast

I'm pretty sure this thing is an addon for the Driver though

I'm pretty sure that's just the bit that connects the belt to the driver.

Do they ever do that? I swear that never happened in scans before

You think Izu will end up an Ark Magia from the look of her red eyes? Wonder if a new one.

The Ark had sentience and IS the main antagonist already. It doesn’t need a body to do that.

Honestly, yeah. I think that’s how red-eyed Izu will be a thing, too. I doubt she’ll actually get a monster form, though.
If she does have a suit, I expect it’ll be like Poppy, and be a Kamen Rider form...hopefully used more than Poppy.
Maybe this ‘Exterminate Riser’, although I don’t buy those listings for a second, as it’s a bit early for Final Form reveals.

I wanna see Jun Fukuzoe take up the ZAIA Spec next!

Plus when Izu gets berserk by the Ark, Aruto should get killed by her and she’ll wake up holding Aruto in her arms.

I am already counting how many days till Fukuzoe goes through that phase and end up like Ohsugi from Fourze.
Cause if they go that route Fukuzoe has no other way than to end up as what I call "The Good Snob"; still a snob by nature but now has a heart of gold and got the hero's back although how useful is still taken into consideration.:lolol

Honestly, yeah, I agree. I think Fukuzoe's gonna wind up like Ohsugi as well - he's more 'sitcom arch-nemesis' than 'actual villain'.

Not really sure where to put this, but Team Rider's' instagram just dropped an implication that Shout Factory might start subbing Kamen Rider.

Nice! Hopefully it's for one of the Rider shows I haven't seen yet.

I would wish if Izu starts to end up going berserk, and if Aruto is forced to kill her in order to save her/Thouser kills her, Aruto's mind and spirit would shatter with her gone. He'll start to lose it and maybe force himself to work alongside Horobi to get back at Thouser.

Zero 001 better show up in the show. I would love to see him in ForceRiser mode again.

Yellow buster. HoOh soldier

Keisuke Minami who played Houoh Soldier will play a humagear attorney, and Arisa Komiya who played Yoko Usami will play the human plaintiff.

I'm not a fan of the weird highlighter greenish yellow but probably the scans.
Also YAYYYYY BESERKER FORM!
my zero one fan fiction is now even more unoriginal lol, I like the pointy shoulders too

I've pretty much caught up and I'm really liking the show so far. Something in one of the episodes. In the one where the board of directors votes to keep Aruto as president, Aruto's hair changes color from the light brown to a very dark brown. And it happens again in the episode during the Christmas festival. It's was really odd.

Probably just minor inconsistencies in the make up department. Fumiya has natural black hair.


...Also looks more like a CEO in his instagram...

Wonder if Metal Cluster Hopper will make him berserk & psychotically destroy everything in sight? Laugh maniacally while being berserk. Act like Fuwa.

Probably not, no. It will likely not affect his personality or make him laugh - think RabbitTank Hazard, FangJoker, or PuToTyra.

Oh man, it would be so disturbing to hear Aruto laughing maniacally, since normally he's trying to bring happy laughter to others.

Does it actually say Metal Cluster makes him go berserk or is it speculation?

Pretty much. Terebi-kun scans said that Zero-One will attack whatever is in front of him be it friend or foe. Speaking of, I guess for now we can expect Aruto going classic berserker like OOO Putotyra Combo and Build Hazard Form where he has no control at all, but what if they give it a twist where he is still aware and wants to stop but he has no control of his body like a marionette? That would be messed up if it was the latter.

It says that ZAIA wants to make Zero-One an 'enemy of humanity' and that Metal Cluster Hopper will attack anything before him, be they friend or foe.
The newest episode summaries also confirm that Yua makes it, on Gai's orders.

So pretty much like Deadheat only actually utiliized, neat

Who's afraid everyone will turn against Zero-One for Thouser? Once Metal Cluster takes a toll of Aruto.

I bet he'll take the ForceRiser again in order to take revenge.

Nah. Aruto will use MC Hopper till he takes full control of it.

I hope Gai Amatsu will be transformed into Amazing Caucasus Raider as his monster form...

I think I’ll just run until things settled down for Aruto and Gai.

With Metal Cluster being real, what else was in the leak that Metal Cluster was first reported in? I think that's where we got Burning Falcon, was there any other future forms involved?

Rampage Vulcan was there too

Is anyone gonna duck out to avoid Aruto being hated and the public turning against him?

Is there any hope for Metal Cluster Hopper to change into good like with FangJoker? Any way for Aruto to get full control of it?

Maybe Izu could examine it and how it can be free of Ark's influence.

since there isn't any announcement for a replace form so far, i have no doubt Aruto will control Metalcluster quite quickly.
Maybe not without consequences. But he can't be rampaging and needing Fuwa to force the belt out for 10 episodes

It might still take a while, he could save it for a last resort while gradually getting closer to full control of it.

If/when he does get it under control, it would be really cool if the controlled version has red eyes like the other Hopper forms, instead of the yellow they changed to.

Judging from episode descriptions I've seen shared around, it's looking like the next couple of episodes are gonna be taming it. Purely cause it's the only thing Aruto can use, apparently Metal Cluster is so bad it just broke the Zero-One Driver to where it can't read any key other than it.

Oh, is that what Gai meant by a "locking" the Zero-One Driver? That's kind of brilliant, especially since they're Progrise Keys.

Also an interesting twist to add to the introduction of a new form, especially one with other serious drawbacks already.
