Rider : Cyberoid ZZZ

Cyberoid ZZZ is a Roidmude, only it's been upgraded into a cybernetic life form, which was created by Krim Steinbelt. At some point during the Roidmudes' attacks on humanity, Cyberoid escapes and assumes an identity known as Zoruku Tojo, the Phantom Thief Ultimate Lupin, and is able to transform into Kamen Rider Lupin.

History

Prior to the Roidmudes' invasion against humanity, Cyberoid ZZZ was put into stasis by Krim Steinbelt. It was originally meant to be a body for Krim to use during the threat by the Roidmudes. However it had required a strong will to use, therefore prompting Krim to insert himself into the Drive Driver instead.

After the Roidmudes began their attacks on humanity. Cyberoid was released and assumes the identity of "Zoruku Tojo", The legendary phantom thief Lupin, and gains the ability to freely manipulate Slowdown. His new objective is to steal the heroic title of "Kamen Rider" by slaying all who have that title. At the end of the Drive portion, he merged with Megahex to become Megahex ZZZ. He was destroyed along with Megahex by both Gaim and Drive in the Movie War portion.

Forms / Cyberoid ZZZ

The true form of Zoruku Tojo, this Roidmude was Krim Steinbelt's intended container that would have housed his consciousness but due to its need of a stronger will to move, ZZZ was abandoned in stasis until the aged Zoruku Tojo filled his consciousness into him. Having no Core of his own, he instead would dominate his own Viral Core.

Powers and Abilities

• Heavy Acceleration

The signature ability of the Roidmude is to somehow slow down the movement of surrounding objects', including that of humans, with their unaffected consciousness aware of their impass during this time. One can be protected by the Slowdown effect by carrying Shift Cars or Signal Bikes on their person.

• Advanced Camouflage

Roidmudes can generate disguises through film-layers around their body that function similar to the cerebral cortex.

• Data Replication

Cyberoid ZZZ can replicate data of his opponent and materialize a copy of his own.

• Webbing

Cyberoid ZZZ can spew webs similar to Spider-Type Roidmudes.

Equipment

Devices

• Lupin Gunner: Transformation device
• Viral Cores: Allow Lupin to use weapons

Notes:

• Zoruku's Rider name and appearance are themed after the famous fictional French thief Arsène Lupin.
  
  
  • Lupin was previously used as the theme of a Akuninkaijin from Kamen Rider X.


• His rider form's appearance resembles that of Cinema, a villain from Kamen Rider: Battride War II. He also has a pattern on the mantle that looks suspiciously like a film reel stripe.
• Zoruku uses a gold version of the Break Gunner to transform and has a status as a Kamen Rider, making him the first Kamen Rider since Kiva-la to not use a belt-based transformation device to become a Rider.
  
  
  • Since his transformation device is the same as Mashin Chaser's, it can be assumed that their powers come from the same source.
  • His use of Lupin Blade Viral Core that attached to Lupin Gunner is similar to Kamen Rider Eternal who wields his Eternal Edge. Both Lupin and Eternal are movie-exclusive Dark Riders who use a dagger as their primary weapon. Both Lupin and Eternal also had a cape on their back.


• His status as a gentleman thief Kamen Rider with a gun-based transformation device also harkens back to the first thief Kamen Rider Diend and the makeup artist Kamen Rider Drake.
  
  
  • Other than Drake, whose a ZECT Kamen Rider, the other ZECT Riders like TheBee and Sasword, as well as The Oni Kamen Riders are also counted, due to their non-belt type transformation devices.


• Unlike the Roidmudes, it use a letter code to distinguish itself.
• ZZZ seems to resemble the villain Cyborg Soldier Level 2 from Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue.
• He and Megahex are the second Movie War villains to merge into one, the other being Ultimate D.
• As Cyberoid ZZZ, his costume was soon after repainted for Chase's Proto-Zero suit, ironically mirroring his Lupin powers being copied from Chase's Mashin Chaser.

Zoruku Tojo is portrayed by Yuji Ayabe. As both Kamen Rider Lupin and Cyberoid ZZZ, his suit actor is currently unknown.
