The capitalized I can be seen as the Roman numeral 1, so the all caps ZI of Zi-O can be read as Z One, Zero One. Just a random observation, not a theory or anything

Zero-One

Zero Wan

Number 0 is also known as 'rei' in the Japanese vocabulary

Take out the 'n' in Wan and you get...

REIWA

First rider of the Reiwa Era

Thus taking the name Kamen Rider Zero-One

Okay, Toei, I'll give you the number thing this time. But I don't want to be here in a year listening to a bunch of convoluted theories about how Kamen Rider Panda or whatever is totally an obvious number 2 if you look at it in a mirror out of your peripheral vision on a gibbous moon or some shit.

Kamen Rider Zero-One, hence ones and zeroes, base IO language.

I imagined that the driver would be scanners that could read barcodes for power ups. Originally I thought Mega, Peta, Tera and Zeta would be a great four Rider setup.

Especially since I kind of dig the Zi-O Decade form with the barcodes. But YMMV.

...Fuck me, 0 and 1 are numbers used in binary coding you might be on to something lmao

Sounds very Showa-inspired.

Haven't the faintest clue what the motif would be based off name alone. Sounds like it could be computer/programming/coding based but that's really close to what we already had with Ex-Aid.

A binary themed rider could definitely work and I don't think we've had a tech themed rider

Why do I have a feeling that Zero-One sound like a reboot show?

Since Zero-One is first Reiwa rider show, I wonder if they will scratch from the start and reinvent Kamen Rider since Zi-O is last Heisei rider show.... Hmmmm..... 🤔🤔🤔

It would be cool if they use the new era as a motivator to try something really different with the show, but I'm guessing it's going to be a lot of two-episode stories with some kind of collectible toy gimmick.

Wow, that's one helluva observation!
