The Progrise Hopper Blade (プログライズホッパーブレード, Puroguraizu Hoppā Burēdo) is the primary weapon of Kamen Rider Zero-One MetalCluster Hopper and Kamen Rider Zero-Two, though Ark-Zero, Ark-One, and Zero-Three have been shown using it.
History and Overview[]
The Progrise Hopper Blade was produced by the Hiden Intelligence Three Dimensional Printing System using the data of 12 Humagear Progrisekeys along with the Rising Hopper Progrisekey. When it was first used, it severed MetalCluster Hopper's connection to the Ark, reconnecting Zero-One to There to regain control of his body. It is capable of restoring Humagears that has been corrupted by the Ark to its original programming. The Progrise Hopper Blade was transferred to HIDEN Manufacturing after the event of the Workplace Competition, and brought back to Hiden Intelligence after Gai Amatsu's resignation from said company during the Ark's crisis.
Although this weapon is shown to remove the viral programming and save the body of the Humagear, it will not do the same to MetsubouJinrai.net members, as shown in Episode 35, as they willingly follow the Ark's influence.
Design[]
The Progrise Hopper Blade is composed of the following parts:
- Progrise Combiner (ライズコンバイナー, Raizu Konbainā): The coupling device at the bottom of the hilt. Allows the Attache Calibur to dock and combine with the Progrise Hopper Blade in an operation called Docking Rise (ドッキングライズ, Dokkingu Raizu), forming Naginata Mode. When combined, Naginata Mode can perform the Gigant Strash finisher.
- Liberate Handle (リベレートハンドル, Riberēto Handoru): The hilt. It functions as a data inflow path that releases Metal Cluster Hopper's connection to the Ark and restores Zero-One's connection to There. Also, it has a role to transmit information such as parameters and operation manuals visualizing the operation status to the user.
- Kick-On Trigger (キックオントリガー, Kikkuon Torigā): The trigger. When pulled, energy within the Metal Bleed Reactor's Rider Model is released, allowing Zero-One to execute devastating attacks. When pulled five times in succession, Finish Rise (フィニッシュライズ, Finisshu Raizu) is initiated, allowing Zero-One to execute the Progrising Strash finisher.
- Metal Bleed Reactor (メタルブリードリアクター, Metaru Burīdo Riakutā): The main reactor. A Cluster Cell from Metal Cluster Hopper, dubbed Little Cluster (リトルクラスタ, Ritoru Kurasuta), is embedded inside and serves as the Metal Bleed Reactor's equivalent to a Rider Model found within Progrisekeys. By letting Little Cluster's self-replication program react with a special program, large amounts of energy is formed. Additionally, Little Cluster has a mechanism that allows it to perform a jumping action when the Kick-on Trigger is pulled, maximizing the signal sent by the Kick-on Trigger. The signal is maximized, energy density is condensed and then sent to all parts of the Progrise Hopper Blade.
- Progrestorator (プログレストレーター, Puroguresutorētā): The Humagear restoration device installed within the yellow blade. It releases a large amount of Humagear backup data into a Magia, destroying and rewriting the Magia's data, effectively restoring the Magia to normal. The whole restoration process takes 0.8 seconds. The blade is made of Hiden Alloy (ヒデンアロイ, Hiden Aroi) (which has a Knoop hardness of 8200), allowing it to protect the Progrestorator.
- PHB Riser (PHBライザー, PHB Raizā): Progrise Hopper Blade's authorization device. It is located within the yellow frame's rear armor section. When scanned alone by the Hiden Zero-One Driver, Final Strash can be initiated, and Ultimate Strash when scanned in Naginata Mode.
- Blade Marker (ブレードマーカー, Burēdo Mākā): The entire blade. The blue Absocryster (アブソクリスタ, Abusokurisuta) blade, which was formed by crystallizing data via high irradiation molding, has extremely high transparency and boasts enough sharpness to cleave a high-rise building with a single slash. Furthermore, it has excellent affinity with Hiden Metal, enabling absorption and emission of grasshopper shaped Cluster Cells. This makes it possible to carry out an attack with a phase change control characteristic, which freely changes the hardness, plasticity and density of Hiden Metal. It also functions as a marker unit for operating the Cluster Cells.
Modes[]
The Progrise Hopper Blade has two Modes, Blade Mode (ブレードモード, Burēdo Mōdo) on its own, and Naginata Mode (ナギナタモード, Naginata Mōdo) when combined with the Attache Calibur.

Finishers[]
- Progrising Strash (プログリシングストラッシュ, Puroguraizingu Sutorasshu): Activated by pulling the trigger five consecutive times. This finisher has three variations:
- Zero-One forms a jagged blade of Cluster Cells covered in blue electricity and launches it toward the enemy.
- Zero-One delivers a horizontal slash to the enemy at close range, creating a jagged construct of Cluster Cells.
- Zero-One swings the Progrise Hopper Blade, generating a swarm of Cluster Cells that destroys the enemy's weapon. He then moves towards the opponent and charges the Progrise Hopper Blade with blue energy before delivering a slash at close range, creating a jagged construct of Cluster Cells.
- Final Strash (ファイナルストラッシュ, Fainaru Sutorasshu): Activated by scanning the Progrise Hopper Blade on the Zero-One Driver. This finisher has eight variations:
- Zero-One generates a swarm of Cluster Cells that forms into metal spikes before swinging the Attache Calibur, sending them raining down on opponents.
- Zero-One swings the Progrise Hopper Blade, sending a barrage of Cluster Cell projectiles at opponents.
- Zero-One forms several walls of Cluster Cells to protect bystanders from the enemy's attacks.
- Zero-One swings the Progrise Hopper Blade, forming two spiked tendrils from Cluster Cells that attack the opponents.
- Zero-One is surrounded by Cluster Cells before delivering an upward slash to the opponent, creating a jagged construct from the Cluster Cells that shatters upon impact.
- Zero-One leaps into the air and delivers a downward slash that creates a jagged construct of Cluster Cells
- Zero-One slashes the opponent, creating a rotating chain of Cluster Cell spikes that further damage the enemy.
- Zerp-One swings the Progrise Hopper Blade, creating a swarm of Cluster Cells that flies through the opponent, leaving behind large holes. Unknown to the target, some Cluster Cells stay behind in their body as they regenerate. After the enemy has completely regenerated, the Cluster Cells inside the body burrow through and burst out once again. The Cluster cells continually tear apart the opponent's body to prevent them from regenerating.
- Final Strash (ファイナルストラッシュ, Fainaru Sutorasshu): Ark-One swings the Progrise Hopper Blade, launching a jagged construct of Cluster Cells at the enemy.
- Gigant Strash (ギガントストラッシュ, Giganto Sutorasshu): Zero-One forms a jagged blade of Cluster Cells and slashes the opponent, scattering the Cluster Cells upon impact, which proceed to tear apart the enemy. He then delivers a second slash with a much larger Cluster Cell blade that leaves behind a giant trail of flying Cluster Cells.
- Ultimate Strash (アルティメートストラッシュ, Arutimeto Sutorasshu): Activated by scanning the Progrise Hopper Blade Naginata Mode on the Zero-One Driver. Zero-One forms a jagged blade of Cluster Cells covered in blue electricity on the Progrise Hopper Blade and launches it toward the enemy, then uses the Attache Calibur to perform a long-range green energy slash. Finally, he performs a spinning slash that creates a swirling metallic slash.
Behind the Scenes[]
to be added
Notes[]
- The Progrise Hopper Blade DX toy can be attached to the other Attache Weapons besides the Attache Calibur.
- When the DX version is scanned over the Authorise Buster, it does the "Zero-One" finishers.
- The mold of the entire weapon resembles an opened Progrisekey, hence the name. The distal portion of the blade even includes the name of the weapon and its "ability", as well as the Little Cluster being designed like a Rider Model, mirroring actual Progrisekeys.
- The Progrise Hopper Blade used by Ark-Zero utilities red and black Cluster Cell-like slashes, which represents malice instead of the usual benevolent minds. However, when used by Ark-One, it remains normal, even if it is created by Horobi Ark Scorpion's puddle of malice.
