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. It was manufactured by the Hiden Intelligence Three Dimensional Printing System using the data of the HumaGear Progrise Keys as well as the Rising Hopper Progrise Key. It causes MetalCluster Hopper to connect to Zea instead of the Ark, allowing Zero-One to be in control of his body. It also has the added benefit of restoring a HumaGear, that has been corrupted into a Magia, to its original appearance and programming.
Design
The Progrise Hopper Blade is composed of the following parts:
- Progrise Combiner (ライズコンバイナー, Raizu Konbainā) - A 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 Zea. 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 Progrise Keys. 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) - A Humagear restoration device installed within the green 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 green 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 type 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): After pulling the trigger 5 consecutive times, Zero-One forms a spiky metallic construct on the tip of the blade before delivering a slash.
Final Strash (ファイナルストラッシュ, Fainaru Sutorasshu):
Gigant Strash (ギガントストラッシュ, Giganto Sutorasshu):
Ultimate Strash (アルティメートストラッシュ, Arutimeto Sutorasshu): After combining the weapons, and scanning the weapon, Zero-One forms a spiky metallic construct on the tip of the Progrise Hopper Blade end and slashes the enemy once before delivering two more yellow energy slashes from the Attache Calibur end.
Behind The Scenes

Notes
- The blade of the Progrise Hopper Blade has a slightly similar design to the upper blade piece of the Kyu The Weapon
from Uchu Sentai Kyuranger.
- The design of the blade also has a slightly similar design to the blade of both the WolJavelin the signature weapon of WolKaiser and the Horn Lancer the signature weapon of SaintKaiser from Mahou Sentai Magiranger.
- The design of the blade also has a slightly similar design to the blade of both the WolJavelin the signature weapon of WolKaiser
- It is the first weapon of the Reiwa Era to be able to combine with another weapon.
- It is also the first weapon of the Reiwa Era made to better stabilize an otherwise hazardous form.
- Its ability to combine with another bladed weapon into a double-bladed spear is similar to the Musou Saber and Daidaimaru's Naginata Mode from Kamen Rider Gaim. They also have the same combined mode (a naginata).
- The placement of the Naginata Mode's blades also makes it look similar to the Naginata Mode of the Gan Gun Saber.
- Strangely, the design of the Naginata Mode closely resembles the weapon mode of the Attache Arrow.
- 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.
- Its nature of providing stability to a form that adversely affects its user is similar to the Trailer-Hou from Kamen Rider Drive.
- Being a bladed weapon, it runs inverted to the Armed Saber from Kamen Rider Hibiki, as its use removes the dangers of a Super form, rather than being potentially dangerous to the user's base form.
