Notes

• The Crushing Buffalo Raider is the first monster in Kamen Rider Zero-One to use a Progrisekey to transform rather than a Zetsumerisekey. He is also the first monster transformed from a human instead of a Humagear.
• Crushing Buffalo Raider's Buffablow and white humanoid legs are likely a reference to Taurus being known for missing it's lower body.
• Rentaro is the only ZAIA representative to have his cheat to be busted and had his victory initially revoked. However, Rentaro able to win purely during the rematch.
