Now it makes me wish Double instead of Ghost was on the opposite side to mimic putting a memory in the finisher slot on that side. |

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...mN4e4HJKoB3tTD Oh wow! Never noticed that. I thought it was some kind of demonic halo thing. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...20181014003426 Hmmm...looking at it closely now, is that a skull on it's chest? |
Another Wizard kind of has a thing for skulls in general. There's of course those on its shoulders, but its face is one too! It's a bit difficult to see unless up close; its AnotherWatch makes it more obvious.

That's my main beef with Grand Zi-O, the first fight was awesome but after that he basically became the Rider who just reused past weapons -.- |
I'd never noticed Another Wizard's Ring halo was just that - a ring. Oof.

Most Rider shows with their gimmick/theme reach their full potential with what they can do during the show's run. Most fruits you could ask for were have a lockseed and associated Rider/form with it during Gaim. Or how Ex-Aid covers every game genre with Gashats and gaming hardware type with belts/weapons. And while the watch motif specifically is near fully utilized in Zi-O (Only thing I can think of missing is a Sundial), the Rider theming is such massive potential for so much of the rest of the show that we'll never get to see. Another Final Form Riders, Another secondary Riders, Final form armors, the missing Phase 1 Heisei armors. Makes me wish the show ran another year so we could see way more. What we've gotten so far is awesome, but it barely scratches the surface. We've gotten all that in toy form with god knows how many watches, but a majority of that stuff won't appear on screen. I wish I could compile a definitive list of things that we didn't see in Zi-O that we should have, and maybe more stuff they could have done. |
Did something change between Ex-Aid and Build? Because Ex-Aid feels like the last year all the merch was used in the show by the Riders. Quite a bunch of fullbottles are only seen as part of Pandora's Box, never used by Sento or the others, and a tonne of Ridewatches are only seen as part of Sougo's final stand in the finale. And that looks to continue with Zero-One, what with all the Progrise Keys we're only receiving art for. I'm not complaining, especially when the merch rush is bad enough already, I'm just wondering.

I don't think there's much reasoning behind that trend other than that they want to sell more and more toys but can't reasonably make an in-show suit or prop or special effect for them all.

Bang Bang Tank a) Isn't an actual toy, because Toei will release anything but that, and b) Was used on screen twice.

What Fullbottles were MIA?

I don't know if it's an intentional reference, but people ahve been saying Thouser's Sword resembles the King Rouzer from Blade. But both use the power of Caucasaus in order to transform.
|
Little freeze-frame bonus. In episode 15 of Kamen Rider Zi-O, when Ohma uses Kiva’s powers, you can see that he’s doing so by playing the Bloody Rose.

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.

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

And I just now realized that metsubozinrai.net's whole "extinction" theme is why the Magia are based on extinct animals. |

.... Actually that sounds like a really cool final arc idea. Not fighting a final boss physically, but a system. |

This isn't so much of a realization, but am I the only one who thinks the Thousand Driver is strangely similar to Buster Hercules' chest piece?

So I already found this out a while back when it was announced but was lazy so posting now. Kiramager will have an Episode 0 special that will set things up before the show airs. SO. Here's the fun bit. Episode 0 translates to ZERO WA(ゼロ話) in Japanese. The number 0 is also read or pronounced as REI(れい 零) depending on context. Episode 0 > ZERO WA > REI WA The wonders of Japanese wordplay. |

One thing that popped into my head again that I don't think most people mention is that Necrom Sanzo Damashii had a giant chakram prop that I believe was never used in the show (to my recollection, the chakram is CGI in the finisher only).

In Zi-O episode 16 when Geiz and Tsukoyomi are talking about how on Oma Day Sougo becomes Oma Zi-O you can hear the scream Sougo makes in Episode 49 when he finally does become Oma Zi-O
|
Just realised that some of Zero-One's Progrise forms have animal faces on their chests. For example, if you look at Flaming Tiger, Breaking Mammoth and Flying Falcon, you can sort of make out a tiger face, a mammoth face and a falcon face on there.

The face is the 'face' while the chest is the 'neck'. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...20191013012452 |
