He's essentially a combination of a modern rider and a Showa rider. The red forearms and gloves, the scarf-like detail protruding from his left shoulder blade, it's essentially Zero-One taking on details from the likes of someone like Kamen Rider Nigou. Which is actually fairly fitting considering the name "Zero-Two" and Kamen Rider Ichi-Gata's existence.

I think that’s exactly what they were going for.

That said, the end result is still not great. Perhaps if they had changed the shade of green, or replaced it with teal or something that doesn’t look quite so bad next to the red. As it is it’s just garish and loud. Zero One works because the neon green is the only colour (ignoring the eyes, though they’re also a darker red) and whatever isn’t green is black or near-black. The silver, red and green all vying for dominance looks cluttered and disjointed.

The fact that it’s not a separate rider also kinda feels lacklustre.
