MAIN PROGRISE KEYS REVIEW
For today, let's analyze the different main Progrise Keys used by the Riders of Kamen Rider Zero-One that have appeared in the series and try to break down its pros and cons.
"Jump!"
―Activation announcement
"Progrise! To-bia ga rise! Rising Hopper! A jump to the sky turns to a Rider Kick."
―Transformation announcement with the Hiden Zero-One Driver
The Rising Hopper Progrise Key is the main Key used by Aruto Hiden to transform into Kamen Rider Zero-One when inserted and activated through the Hiden Zero-One Driver and serves as his base form trinket. The Ability of the Key is called "Jump" and is based on a grasshopper. The Key gives Zero-One immense jumping and flexibility ability, allowing him to have an intuition similar to that of a grasshopper as seen in the first episode. This form is overall balanced with a kicking power measured at 49 tons, exceeding all the current riders in the series. Major downside, however, is the fact that the kicking and jumping ability is so strong that it can go out of control and chances are that the user will end up failing what they initially wish to do.
"Bullet!"
―Activation announcement
"ShotRise! Shooting Wolf! The elevation increases as the bullet is fired."
―Transformation announcement with the A.I.M.S. Shot Riser
The Shooting Wolf Progrise Key is the main Key used by Isamu Fuwa to transform into Kamen Rider Vulcan when inserted and activated through the A.I.M.S. Shot Riser and serves as his base form trinket. The Ability of the Key is called "Bullet" and is based on a wolf. The Key gives Vulcan almost pinpoint accuracy when shooting. Compared to Zero-One's Rising Hopper form, this form and Key has a higher punching power and running speed, but it far outclassed in terms of kicking power and jump height. It makes up for these weaknesses, however, with its focus in long ranged combat with the A.I.M.S. Shot Riser.
"Dash!"
―Activation announcement
"ShotRise! Rushing Cheetah! Try to outrun this demon to get left in the dust."
―Transformation announcement with the A.I.M.S. Shot Riser
The Rushing Cheetah Progrise Key is the main Key used by Yua Yaiba to transform into Kamen Rider Valkerie when inserted and activated through the A.I.M.S. Shot Riser and serves as her base form trinket. The Ability of the Key is called "Dash" and is based on a cheetah. The Key gives the user an ability that's geared towards almost pinpoint accuracy and speed when shooting. Compared with Kamen Rider Vulcan's Shooting Wolf form, this form has better stats by small margins. Only downside to it is that although its speed is off the charts, the possibility of the strength and durability is compromised.
"Wing!"
―Activation announcement
"Progrise! Fly to the sky! Flying Falcon! Spread your wings and prepare for a force."
―Transformation announcement with the Hiden Zero-One Driver
"ForceRise! Flying Falcon! Break Down."
―Transformation announcement with the MetsubouJinrai ForceRiser
This Key is a whole different story. This once belonged to Aruto Hiden who uses it to access Kamen Rider Zero-One's magenta falcon form when inserted and activated through the Hiden Zero-One Driver, until it was stolen by MetsubouJinrai.net and is the main Key used by Jin to transform into Kamen Rider Jin when inserted and activated through the MetsubouJinrai Force Riser and serves as his base form trinket. The Ability of the Key is called "Wing" and is based on a falcon. This form grants Zero-One a decrease in kicking power and jumping height compared to Biting Shark and Rising Hopper but has a slight increase in punching power and running speed. Being an avian-based form, Flying Falcon grants Zero-One the ability to fly.
When used by Kamen Rider Jin, the Key gives the user the ability to utilize a pair of mechanical wings called Scrambler on his back that allow him to fly. He can also use them to throw feather-like energy projectiles at his opponent. In this form Jin has a stronger punching power than Zero One's Rising Hopper form and the same speed, but his jump height and kicking power are far less. Jin makes up for the lack of jump height, however, with Flying Falcon's ability to fly.
"Poison!"
―Activation announcement
"ForceRise! Sting Scorpion! Break Down."
―Transformation announcement with the MetsubouJinrai ForceRiser
The Sting Scorpion Progrise Key is the main Key used by Horobi to transform into Kamen Rider Horobi when inserted and activated through the MetsubouJinrai Force Riser and serves as his base form trinket. The Ability of the Key is called "Poison" and is based on a scorpion. The Key gives the user a stinger unit called Acid Analyze on his left arm that allow him to generates various types of poisons such as virus data that is effective not only for living organisms, but also for electronic devices and HumaGears, and has the function of destroying the target from the inside out. Above all, it excels at the generation of poisons that break down substances at the molecular level and nervous system toxins that block the movement of organisms. This form draws out the user's fighting ability to the limit, exhibiting comprehensive combat performance that overwhelms the other riders.

And that's it for the meantime. But to end this entry, I will leave you guys with a little teaser about a new Progrise Key that will soon make its debut alongside with its corresponding Rider. Yes, the sixth Rider of the series.
