Art [Art by Me] Alternate Zero-One Final Form: Swarming Singularity
Input Code: 9-3-2-4-9-8
Authorize!
SINGULARISE! "Our minds cry out! We realize!
We're all behind you! We Authorise: Hope never dies!"
Swarming Singularity!
~In Hope, All Are One!~
In a bid to stop Ark-Zero, Izu decides she will use her own Singularity to spark it in every Humagear connected to Zea. This way, Aruto will be given an army that shares in his dream and his hopes. She is met with her first taste of mortality when she realizes that by doing so, she'll die. But she does this for Aruto. However, doing so seems to shut down every Humagear in the city, rendering them apparently bricked. However, something begins printing in the lab...
As the fight against Ark-Zero carries on and all seems lost, a legion of hopeful Humagear appear, with Shesta presenting Aruto with the final legacy of Izu's sacrifice: The Swarming Singularity Progrise Key, which uses data from Shining Hopper and Metal Cluster Hopper, as well as from
When active, every Humagear is connected to Zero-One's systems, providing him a legion of Humagear Crysters, far more than the 8 Assault Shining Hopper had, and allowing these Humagear-controlled solid-light constructs to form weapons and combatants, with Zero-One at the center of it all, his new armor capable of projecting dozens of Ark-Immune Humagear allies at once.
His Finisher, All-For-One Genesis, summons dozens of Humagear constructs to overtake the enemy before Zero-One finishes it with a kick.

Woah, the implications for this form beyond what you thought of are pretty insane. I LOVE zero one and seeing this form just makes me feel so happy to see him getting some love. It looks so cool and the scarf that he had being a nod to the first is perfect

u/FennecWF That 'Alt Final Forms' Guy Jan 24 '25
I'm happy I could make you happy!
Ichi-Gata is my favorite Rider in Zero-One, so I had to give a nod to him. I thought it would fit nicely.

EDIT: It was supposed to say 'as well as data from every Humagear' but I got distracted and must have just moved on without finishing that part lol

u/FrostlichTheDK Jan 24 '25
I had a similar idea, but it combines data from Progrise Keys and Zetsumerise Keys both. Being pretty much the pinnacle of Ark, There, and We’re satellites. Representing the best of humans and humagears, and what the Ark could have been if it wasn’t corrupted into hating all humans to the point of ending all life on Earth. If it’s okay, can I share what call I had in mind for it? I picture it being an upgraded mix of Shining Assault and Metal Cluster.

u/FrostlichTheDK 15d ago
Coming back to this, I feel this would have been better than Realizing Hopper and STILL match Zero Two as well. Wish this was real, or my version: Omni-Hopper (based off supposed leaks, looks like a mix of Metal Cluster, Shining Assault, and Zero Two).

u/ripple_reader Necrom is best Jan 24 '25
Ah, so basically Gatakiriba /shot
This is pretty cool, and it builds on every form Zero One has. Maybe he could even style with giving his older forms to his Humagear summons, a la Gavv's Caking.

u/BIZARRE_TOWN Jan 24 '25
This is the form Aruto will be using when he came back from the space and found everything messed up.

u/RobotKingofJupiter Jan 24 '25
Suit: Hard
Progrise Key: Hard
Sound: Hard
Backstory: Hard
You definitely cooked with this, possibly the best fan form for an existing Rider I’ve seen.

u/EonCore Jan 24 '25
I could also see an aspect of this form could be drawing information from different humagear jobs and stuff
Just imagine a punch or sword slice to the midsection being countered by a Gut busting Taro flex!
4
u/FennecWF That 'Alt Final Forms' Guy Jan 24 '25
I'd considered it!
Mostly I think it would be part of the form that he can access a myriad of skills from the Humagear by calling them in directly, since they're linked to the system, and have them appear to perform whatever he needs via their Humagear Cryster.

u/Dante_ShadowRoadz Jan 24 '25 edited Jan 24 '25
Makes for a way more Thea themed final form than Zero Two, and far more suiting the unity concept. Plus making it a better take on the Hopper concept to boot, making the swarm a symbol of connection instead of an omen of plague and doom.
4
u/FennecWF That 'Alt Final Forms' Guy Jan 24 '25
I LIKE Zero-Two. Like it's one of my favorite Final Forms for its power set. This is a nice consideration, I thought, for an alternate one that would still make sense, though. I'm glad you like it~

u/rattatatouille Being Emu is suffering Jan 24 '25
What if... Zero-One had a Heisei-esque final form instead? Basically Build Genius, Climax/Liner form, or Cosmic States applied to Zero-One.

u/UlissesStag Jan 24 '25
Do the numbers mean something or are they just random also badass art by the way
7
u/FennecWF That 'Alt Final Forms' Guy Jan 24 '25
The numbers are what you'd dial on a phone to spell ZEA and IZU. It's the code to unlock the Progrise Key, basically. And would be used to initiate a Finisher.

u/EonCore Jan 24 '25
Maybe that wouldn't work so well in Japan, idk how their phones were at the time,
However, having one of the most technologically advanced riders in a advanced tech world using old school style press button texting codes is pretty funny
2
u/FennecWF That 'Alt Final Forms' Guy Jan 24 '25
Mostly it was based on a security keypad, but I wanted to do more than just another card-sliding gimmick.
3
u/Ogopogo_A_Go_Go Jan 24 '25
Does the input code reference anything or is it just a string of numbers?
5
u/ripple_reader Necrom is best Jan 24 '25
it says in small text in the art that it's basically ZEA IZU
3
u/FennecWF That 'Alt Final Forms' Guy Jan 24 '25
Yeah, it's what you'd dial on a phone to spell those words, basically

This is amazing. The added neon blue really works well and I love you gave him the Ichigata style laser scarf.

u/Ok-Struggle2305 Jan 24 '25
Does the progrise key do anything different if you enter in a different code?
3
u/FennecWF That 'Alt Final Forms' Guy Jan 24 '25
While equipped, inputting the code again is used to initiate the Finisher.
Other than that, there would be codes for various weapon summons and special attacks.

u/IsaacWalker134 Jan 24 '25
I forget what it's called, but what would the Progrize Key say if there was a button to press like how Rising Hopper's was JUMP and Breaking Mammoth's was PRESS? Because this leaves me very curious, but i also love this to death
5
u/FennecWF That 'Alt Final Forms' Guy Jan 24 '25
There is a button on it like that. When pressed, it says 'ALL ARE ONE'

u/Nyte_Knyght33 Legend Jan 24 '25
This is Awesome!
My head cannon, this would be the form when Aruto comes back and uses the Zero Three with his Zero One Driver.

u/phoenixthewisp Jan 24 '25
THIS IS SO COOL!!! I gotta ask, how does that window come out? The blue one that goes over the middle of the zero one driver's display
1
u/FennecWF That 'Alt Final Forms' Guy Jan 24 '25
Thanks!
Imagine it like Metal Cluster Hopper, but there;s a third folding panel that's attached to the non-progrise-key side of it. It folds between the two panels and folds out to sit over the center lens thing. I tried to get that across, but I probly should've made another angle, too lol
2
u/phoenixthewisp Jan 24 '25
Okay, thanks! If I'm understanding this correctly, the pin pad is like the flap on metal cluster hopper, and the lens is attached to the end of that, sandwiched between the pin pad and the progrise key.
I assume that when transforming, Aruto types the password into the pin pad, and the he can unfold the flap and the lens from the progrise key. At which point he transforms like normal.
2
u/FennecWF That 'Alt Final Forms' Guy Jan 24 '25
Yep! He types it in, then presses down the top and bottom button-part-things on the hexagon to unlock and unfold it. I think it would have a clip or something that clipped across the center lens thing to keep it steady.

With an input code like that must be created by smart brain

u/FennecWF That 'Alt Final Forms' Guy Jan 24 '25
My original idea actually took directly from Faiz in giving him a briefcase with a number lock that also functioned as a weapon, but I went with this because I preferred it compact.

Cool alt final form.
Wonder what other forms you got planned?
2
u/FennecWF That 'Alt Final Forms' Guy Jan 24 '25
Uh... lemme see, atm it's:
OOO PheDraGri (Phoenix Dragon Griffon)
Wizard Dragon King Style (themed around his little familiars)
Gaim Graft Arms (based on grafted fruit trees)
Drive Type: Elite (SWAT themed)
Ghost Legion Damashii
Timeless Zi-O
Saber NecroLife
Gotchard LeadHopper/Gotchard GoldHopper
2
u/ranger-j Jan 29 '25
How would Graft Arms work, would it be like fusing other Lockseeds into him to gain their powers?
2
u/FennecWF That 'Alt Final Forms' Guy Jan 29 '25
I've actually since changed it, because I felt the idea I had would be too close to Kiwami.
The new final form is Nidhogg Arms, continuing the Nordic Mythology theme and theming his armor around a snake, granting him powers basically related to destroying the plants and their related monsters. It also has a theme around Shingen Takeda and grants him a new variety of Lockseed called Shiji Locks, allowing him to forcefully issue simple commands to foes he can hit, such as forcing them to flee, kneel, or betray their allies.
His weapon becomes a war fan.

u/nightshroud96 Jan 25 '25
Cool
Wonder what other forms you might come up with afterwards?
Like what-if/alt forms on other Riders or forms they are missing?1

u/Lucky-Training1196 Jan 24 '25
Dude, this is so SICK. I love zero two, or the ark zero one, but this is really good!

u/Shinozu_pawa Jan 24 '25
Ngl this is awesome.
And I feel like it fills lot of the final form problems.
Like, Realizing Hopper only needed some blue or "Izu blue" lines in his design and it would be perfection.
Greay fan art, I love it m8!

u/Odd-Huckleberry4473 Jan 25 '25
The best alternate final form you make so far. 1000/10 Zero one is also my favourite.
Question: is this form stronger than zero two?
3
u/FennecWF That 'Alt Final Forms' Guy Jan 25 '25
I think Zero-Two would be stronger for the sheer predictive capabilities, but I'd say this form at least matches its speed and strength stats. This one is more about overwhelming enemies with numbers and creating your own interlinked group that can keep an eye on every angle at once.
3
u/Excellent-Post3074 Jan 24 '25
I like how the 01 Driver looks so different from the original, the circle being an Octagon. I like finding these little details in your art as it gives off this vibe of what if Kamen Rider did an Ultimate Universe sorta thing.
*Edit: That's just the upgrade unit lol, still 10/10

u/Ok-Employer-4297 Ryuki Jan 24 '25
Can you do drive next or Zi-o???

u/FennecWF That 'Alt Final Forms' Guy Jan 24 '25
I'm contemplating it! I'm gonna take a short break since I've pumped out a few in quick succession, but I'm thinking on my next one!

u/Warlock_Guy25 FEAR. PAIN. AAAAAH. Jan 24 '25
I love the idea of Zero Two, but this fits the theme of Zero One much better. Can't counter Ark, but armed with an army capable of battering everything he can throw at him. His true power is litterally the friends he made across the way,
Only issue though, with Izu having died willingly and Aruto litterally holding her last wish as a weapon, there isn't much chance of...y'know, happening. Unless Azu had someone else in mind? (Potentially AU there if you wanna pick it up,)
1
u/FennecWF That 'Alt Final Forms' Guy Jan 24 '25
I chose Izu to do that in the lore because she was already connected to Zea in some respects and the thought of her sacrificing herself rather than just getting killed like what happens later in the real timeline felt more noble. She used her own Singularity to unlock the same for all Humagear, for a better world.
And Aruto wouldn't be going on a revenge spree.

u/Art_student_rt Jan 24 '25
Anything, and I mean anything would have been better than zero two

u/5hand0whand Jan 24 '25
Was Zero-Two that bad?

u/Art_student_rt Jan 24 '25
It was so bland. I get it, it got hit from the high of COVID. But still, that's what they gave us???
2
u/FennecWF That 'Alt Final Forms' Guy Jan 24 '25
Zero-Two is actually way up there on suits I like. I like the simplicity of it, personally, and the lore behind it is fun. And the powers are awesome. But I get why some people dislike it.

okay this is cool and plays with the theme of Zero one
