"Assassinate."
―Little Assassin's catchphrase[src]

The Assassin Humagear (暗殺ヒューマギア, Ansatsu Hyūmagia), nicknamed Little Assassin (暗殺ちゃん, Ansatsuchan) by Jin, was a series of Assassin-Type Humagears created by MetsubouJinrai.net that transformed into the first Dodo Magia (ドードーマギア, Dōdō Magia).

Iterations[]


History[]

Origins[]

Assassin Creation

The captured Matsurida Z series being modified.

Little Assassin was originally a member of the Matsurida Z (祭田ゼット) series, a special Humagear model created to dance in traditional festivals. Five units of the series were captured by a group of thieves, who specialized in changing the faces of Humagears. The units were given a younger appearance by the thieves, before MetsubouJinrai.net then managed to obtain them by unknown means. One unit, named Z No. 5 (ゼット5号, Zetto Go-go) by Aruto Hiden, managed to escape before then, which meant that only four of them came into the terrorist group's possession. Horobi then repurposed all four units into Assassin Humagears.

Attack of the Assassin Humagear[]

The Assassin Humagear was originally introduced by Horobi to Jin as a special Humagear that can become stronger over time as he learns from battles. Horobi then provides Little Assassin the Dodo Zetsumerisekey, and gives him the order to assassinate Kamen Rider Zero-One. Jin would playfully nickname the Assassin Humagear as "Little Assassin". After Jin and Little Assassin are deployed, they are intercepted by Yua Yaiba, who transforms into Kamen Rider Valkyrie. Before the Assassin Humagear could transform, Valkyrie froze him with Freezing Bear Progrisekey and distracted Jin in battle while A.I.M.S. soldiers abducted the Assassin Humagear. While Yaiba reprograms the Assassin Humagear, she keeps his directive to assassinate Zero-One to cover her tracks. He reappears during the Mammoth Magia's attack and transforms into the Dodo Magia, all while being filmed by Yaiba. He fights Zero-One and Vulcan alongside the Mammoth Magia, but is destroyed by Vulcan using the Attache Calibur. His Dodo Zetsumerisekey is recovered by Jin, who sadly noted that Little Assassin was still too weak to fight properly.

The second Little Assassin unit infiltrates a hospital with a local Humagear network and attempts to hack one of the nurses, but without success. Upon returning to Daybreak Town, Horobi explains to Jin that he uploaded Little Assassin's back-up data into a new body and gives him the order to assassinate Yaiba instead, having noticed what she did previously. Little Assassin joins Jin and Horobi during the assault on A.I.M.S. HQ and transforms into the Dodo Magia, now armed with the Buaruku Sabers due to learning from his mistakes after his previous battle. The three then leave after Jin defeats Valkyrie and Horobi succeeds in stealing the Attache Weapons. The Dodo Magia arrives during the attack on the hospital and and battles Zero-One and is destroyed a second time after his opponent used all of his current Progrisekeys in rapid succession. The Dodo Zetsumerisekey is later reclaimed by Horobi.

At Daybreak Town, the third Little Assassin watches a samurai movie called "And, Assassinate" made by Shinya Owada alongside Jin. Due to believing that the movie was real, Jin suggests that Little Assassin should become Shinya's personal student thanks to the Humagear's losing streak, though this offends the latter, who retorts that he grows rather than losing. Little Assassin later went undercover during Shinya Owada's drama shooting and met up with the actor while in disguise. He impressed Owada after replicating his stunts accurately and Little Assassin learned to improvise once every often. Owada's kindness would made Little Assassin awaken to Singularity. The next day, after seeing the Actor Humagear Enji Matsuda pulling a poor performance, Little Assassin took matters in his own hands and tries to attack the Actor Humagear as the Dodo Magia. However, Jin tries to stop him and their fight drew the attention of the other Kamen Riders. The Dodo Magia was destroyed by Vulcan using the Gatling Hedgehog Progrisekey, with Jin grabbing the Dodo Zetsumerisekey and fleeing the battle yet again.

At Daybreak Town, Little Assassin was restored to his fourth and final body, with Horobi commenting on how Shinya's lessons made him much more powerful than ever before. Jin then revealed to his Horobi that Little Assassin attempted to destroy their next Magia candidate out of his own volition. Amused by this revelation, Horobi instead declared that the assassin was more closer to Singularity then Jin was. He was then ordered to kill his next target: Shinya Owada. Although Little Assassin breifly hessitated over he had to do to his mentor, he still followed the order regardless and shot the actor with a real gun. This caused Little Assassin to evolve into the Dodo Magia Custom, and, after attempting to escape undetected, he fought and defeated Vulcan before leaving to Daybreak Town, all while declaring that humanity is doomed.

"Why don't we continue the festival, brother? We can exterminate humans to our heart's content... At a festival of blood!"
―Little Assassin attempts to convince his brother to join him, all while revealing his true identity.[src]
Zetto 5 Profile

Matsurida Z No. 5, the only member who escaped MetsuboJinrai.net's clutches.

When Horobi reveals to Jin about the assassin's attempted mutiny, Little Assassin canceled his transformation, but suddenly used two silver balls to transform two nearby Trilobite Magia into Dodo Magia Chicks. It was then that he broke out of his restraints, got his Zetsumerisekey and transformed into the Dodo Magia Custom once more, but now with a skull-like face. After escaping Horobi and Jin, Little Assassin was now set on creating his own squad of assassins to personally train, and went on by himself to find his 'brother'. He encountered Zero-One, beating him and Vulcan, but after his Shining Hopper form was properly working, Little Assassin was permanently destroyed by Zero-One's Shining Mega Impact.

Final Stage[]

Ark-Zero in Final Stage

Little Assassin as Ark-Zero

Little Assassin would end up being reprinted by Kamen Rider Ark-Zero-One as Ark-Zero. He brainwashes Naki & Ikazuchi into his personal minions, forming AnsatsuBourai.net (暗殺亡雷.net, Ansatsubōrai (dotto) Netto). After the two were freed from their brainwashing, Little Assassin would end up fighting and getting defeated by the core MetsubouJinrai.net members.

Personality[]

As Little Assassin is a MetsubouJinrai.net creation as opposed to a hacked unit, he is little more than a robotic android with no existing template to work off of. However, his ability to adapt has caused him to inherit many of Jin's child-like traits and essentially emulates the personality of a playful child, gesticulating and adding goofy expressions to his sentences. After his first defeat, he becomes a bit more stoic and occasionally shows slight annoyance toward Jin. However, he still continues to exhibit many of the behaviors he learned from Jin.

During his training with Shinya Owada, Little Assassin becomes more self-aware and starts acting independently, ultimately culminating in him defying MetsubouJinrai.net by attempting to assassinate Enji Matsuda for failing to meet Owada's expectations for acting. After achieving his Dodo Magia Custom form, his voice becomes much deeper and he ceases to exhibit the quirks he learned from Jin. As a miscalculation from Horobi, Little Assassin's capability on learning to further improve his skills even lead Little Assassin to create his own, personal philosophy: to become a better assassin, one must be able to surpass their master by killing them. This error emerged when Horobi ordered Little Assassin to kill Shinya, unexpectedly leading Little Assassin to form this belief.

Upon being revived by As as Ark-Zero-One, Little Assassin is reprinted into the body of Kamen Rider Ark-Zero. Unlike previous users of Ark-Zero, Little Assassin isn't a host to the Ark due to its destruction and has complete control over his body.

In this form, Little Assassin has the ability to reprogram and brainwash Humagears, like Naki and Ikazuchi into becoming his minions. However, their willpower was able to overcome the brainwashing.

Kamen Rider Ark-Zero is composed of the following parts:

  • Ark-Zero Head (アークゼロヘッド, Āku Zero Heddo) - The helmet.
    • Zero Face (ゼロフェイス, Zero Feisu): The face armor. It is equipped with an ultra-high-performance antenna and a visual/auditory device that are premised on AI processing. As for the shape, the minimum elements as a Kamen Rider are extracted based on statistical data, and rearranged efficiently.
    • Eclipse Eye (エクリプスアイ, Ekuripusu Ai): The visual device on the right side. It is a collection of image sensors of different methods in a compound eye shape. By combining with image processing, various information such as thermography and X-ray photography can be extracted.
    • Zero Face Vision (ゼロフェイスビジョン, Zero Feisu Bijon): The image information collection device on the left side. By invading the network, it collects video data from reconnaissance satellites, security cameras in the facility, AI-equipped devices such as Humagear. As a result, every place can have its own field of view.
    • Zero Face Ear (ゼロフェイスイヤー, Zero Feisu Iyā): The voice information collection device. In addition to the auditory sensor that boasts a sound collection range of 10 km in radius, it will collect voice data from communication devices such as mobile phones and AI-equipped devices such as Humagear by entering the network. By filtering the collected data, any sound can be extracted and heard.
    • Zero Face Antennae (ゼロフェイスアンテナ, Zero Feisu Antena): The single antennae. The directionality is changed according to the environment, and a smart antenna that can simultaneously send and receive multiple types of enormous information, such as communication with various electronic devices and radar function, is adopted. In addition to hacking various electronic devices from here, human control is performed using special interference waves that manipulate brain waves.
    • Ark Signal Zero (アークシグナル ゼロ, Āku Shigunaru Zero): The red gem on the forehead. A control device for the Ark-Zero system. The forced interruption program "Prisonment Chain" (プリズメントチェイン, Purizumento Chein) checks the operating efficiency and malfunctions by intervening in the control system of the human gear under control, and makes adjustments as necessary to bring out the limits of the functions.
  • Zero Chest Gear (ゼロチェストギア, Zero Chesuto Gia): The chest armor. It possesses the Worm Terminal (ワームターミナル, Wāmu Tāminaru) and the Restraint Cable (リストレントケーブル, Risutorento Kēburu) that can penetrate into various devices with excellent penetrating power, allowing it to create a bypass path with a controlled Humagear. As a result, the efficiency of information transmission and the energy flow rate can be increased to enhance the function of the human gear from the inside.
  • Zero Tector (ゼロテクター, Zero Tekutā): The powered bodysuit. Similar to Kamen Rider Zero-One's MetalCluster Hopper "Amalgamate Tector", the Zero Tector is formed by enclosing the target with liquid metal released from the Arc Driver-Zero. The special metal possesses excellent toughness and wear resistance is filled with fluid metal as it is, and functions as armor while maintaining flexibility.
  • Zero Shoulder Gear (ゼロショルダーギア, Zero Shorudā Gia): The shoulder armor. One miniaturized particle accelerator is mounted on each shoulder. Each group shares the nuclei and electrons, accelerates to sublight speed, and supplies them to the "zero hand gear" of the hand part to form a part of the heavy charged particle cannon.
  • Marchinis Arm (マーキニースアーム, Mākinīsu Āmu): The arms. It possesses the power cable "M string" (Mストリング, M Sutoringu) from the Zero Tector is stretched around like a human nerve, and forcibly controls the arm of Huma Gear from the outside. As a result, it becomes possible to exhibit high motility that exceeds the potential of the human gear placed under control.
  • Zero Hand Gear (ゼロハンドギア, Zero Hando Gia): The gloves. The sharp armor of the fingertips "Spite Nail" (スパイトネイル, Supaito Neiuru) has the function of generating attractive force by partially reversing the barrier deployed from the "Zero Thigh Gear" of the thigh, and strongly adsorbing all objects. Also, the irradiation shaping machine "Beam Equipper" (ビームエクイッパー, Bīmu Ekuippā) is equipped on the palm, and various data such as attach weapons are materialized by modeling beam. In addition, this irradiation port can be used as a part of a heavy charged particle cannon that emits in a beam shape by synthesizing electrons and nuclei supplied from the Zero Shoulder Gear.
  • Zero Thigh Gear (ゼロサイギア, Zero Saigia): The thigh armor. An energy barrier generator "Coulomb Generator" (クーロンジェネレーター, Kūron Jenerētā) is built in and forms a coulomb barrier generated by manipulating electric charges on the armored surface of the whole body. This allows the physical attack to be dispelled by repulsive force.
  • Marchinis Leg (マーキニースレッグ, Mākinīsu Reggu): The legs. The power cable "M-string" of the powered suit "Zero Tector" is stretched around like a human nerve, and forcibly controls the leg of the human gear from the outside. This makes it possible to activate a special move that boasts an astonishing destructive power that exceeds the potential of Huma Gear placed under control.
  • Zero Shin Gear (ゼロシンギア, Zero Shin Gia): The shin armor. The internal energy condenser “Zero Annihilator” (ゼロアナイアレイター, Zero Anaiareitā) has the role of temporarily storing the energy supplied from Arc Driver-Zero when activating a special move, and discharging a large amount of energy at once.
  • Zero Foot Gear (アークゼロヘッド, Zero Futto Gia): The boots. When the Special Move is activated, the anti-annihilation field can be expanded to convert the substance that becomes a resistance or obstacle into energy. This invalidates the physical defenses and at the same time improves the destructive power of the kick.

Behind the Scenes[]

Portrayal[]

The Humagear Assassins are portrayed by Ryunosuke Matsumura (松村 龍之介, Matsumura Ryūnosuke). In their original Matsurida Z state, they are portrayed by Kai Yoshida (吉田 快, Yoshida Kai).

Etymology[]

  • The Dodo Magia is named after the Dodo (Raphus cucullatus), an extinct species of flightless bird that was endemic to the island of Mauritius and was hunted to extinction by 1662.

Concept Art[]

  • Dodo Magia was designed by Masataka Shotsubo (庄坪正剛, Shōtsubo Masataka), while the costom version was designed by Masashi Hisada (久田 将史, Hisada Masashi).


Notes[]

  • The Dodo Magia is the first dodo-themed monster in the Kamen Rider series.
  • The Dodo Magia is the most recurring Magia to appear again after being destroyed.
