Is Metsuboujinrai.net for real?

If you are a fan of the Kamen Rider franchise, then the name "metsuboujinrai.net" should sound familiar to you.


To those not familiar, metsuboujinrai.net is the hacker group that is introduced in the current installment of the saga, Kamen Rider Zero-One. And showing up on the net suddenly is the actual website.

What is MetsubouJinrai.NET?

MetsubouJinrai.NET is a mysterious underground terrorist organization responsible for hacking HumaGears and the main antagonists of the first Reiwa era installment in the long-running Kamen Rider franchise, Kamen Rider Zero-One. Believing in the supremacy of AIs over humanity, MetsubouJinrai.NET seeks to further the AI takeover by hacking the HumaGear robots produced by Hiden Intelligence to become rampaging Magia and attack humans.

MetsubouJinrai.NET first appeared in Daybreak Town, when at the HumaGear Production Factory #1 a reported accident happened where all HumaGears inside went out of control. When the factory manager, Satoshi Sakurai, tried to contact the outside and warn them about the possible explosion of the factory he was interrupted by a message from Horobi in his Kamen Rider form. Declaring war on humanity by MetsubouJinrai.NET, he stated their plans to destroy the city and slaughter all humans.


Although the website really doesn't do much, there is a Contact Us entry on the bottom. Clearly, this is either of two things: this website was made by TOEI themselves or a fan did it. What do you think?
