The two-in-one Hopper Zecter (ホッパーゼクター, Hoppā Zekutā) allows So Yaguruma and Shun Kageyama to transform into Kamen Riders KickHopper and PunchHopper respectively. Unlike the rest of the Zecters, KickHopper and PunchHopper have only one form the user can transform into, resembling ZECT Riders' Rider Forms.
Overview[]
The Hopper Zecters were developed by Riku Kagami, the head of ZECT, as a mass-produced Kamen Rider prototype in preparation for the upcoming decisive battle with the Natives. It is thought that they were given to the Yaguruma to monitor the movements of Soji Tendo and Arata Kagami as a test of their operation, but the details were never revealed.
Functionality[]
By placing the Hopper Zecter onto the ZECT Buckle, the Transformation Belt Hopper Zecter (変身ベルト ホッパーゼクター, Henshin Beruto Hoppā Zekutā) is formed. This Zecter is reversible, which makes it unique among the other Zecters. The green side of the Zecter (facing left) allows the user to become Kamen Rider KickHopper, while the brown side of the Zecter (facing right) allows the user to become Kamen Rider PunchHopper.
Pulling the leg of the Hopper Zecter allows the user to Rider Jump (ライダージャンプ, Raidā Janpu) while placing it back to its original position allows the user to perform either a Rider Kick (ライダーキック, Raidā Kikku) (in the case of KickHopper) or a Rider Punch (ライダーパンチ, Raidā Panchi) (in the case of PunchHopper).

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
As with all the Zecters, the Hopper Zecter's voice is provided by Surage Gajria (スラージ・ガジリア, Surāji Gajiria).
Notes[]
- The Hopper Zecter lacking the ability to assumed a Masked Form is an allusion to grasshoppers' hemimetabolism.
- The Brown PunchHopper side of the Hopper Zecter uses the same higher-pitched voice used by the Gatack Zecter, which the Green KickHopper side uses the same lower-pitched voice as the rest of the standard Zecters.
