Kamen Rider Zero-One: The First Reiwa Rider

Main story and casts of the first Kamen Rider in Reiwa era, Kamen Rider Zero-One have been released. Watch the preview here:

In this new Kamen Rider story, it takes place in an alternate version of Japan that has gained technological advancement where AI androids known as Humagear are a common sight. This Humagear are almost indistinguishable from humans. Reminds me of Plastic Memories anime that featured the same type of android.

Then, we have our antagonist known as Metsubo Jinrai.net, a terrorist group that hacks Humagear to cause them to go berserk with an aim to destroy humanity. To counter this terrorist group, the government send out Anti-AI organization, A.I.M.S. A.I.M.S' operatives are even capable to become Kamen Riders!

The new main Rider is Aruto Hiden, a man who wants to become a comedian but lacks a sense of humor; suddenly appointed as president of Hiden Intelligence by his grandfather's will. He will use ZeroOne Driver and Rising Hopper Key to become Kamen Rider Zero-One when berserk Humagear appear.

The design of Kamen Rider Zero-One is like a 'proper' Rider form of Kamen Rider Shin. The motif of Zero-One is hopper. He can change his form using different key.

Next, we have Isamu Fuwa who will use A.I.M.S Shotriser and Shooting Wolf Progrise Key to transform into Kamen Rider Vulcan. He is the leader of the A.I.M.S with excellent abilities as a fighter.

Aruto will have his own secretary in the form of Humagear known as Iz.

Shun Fukuzoe, Vice President of Hiden Intelligence. An ambitious man who yearned for the president position until he is shocked by Aruto's appearance. I guess this is the comic relief guy for this series.
