Will

This article is about a monstrous Rider in Kamen Rider Zero-One and Kamen Rider Zi-O.

Template:Characterinfo Will (ウィル, Wiru) was the Humagear secretary of Korenosuke Hiden who transforms into Another Zero-One (アナザーゼロワン, Anazā Zerowan), an Another Rider derived from Kamen Rider Zero-One.

History

Will was Korenosuke Hiden's secretary who was given the Another Zero-One Watch by Finis and transformed into Another Zero-One. This resulted in Aruto Hiden losing his powers as Another Zero-One was created in 2019, the same year Aruto debuted.

As the World of Zero-One's history was rewritten, he was made president of Hiden Intelligence after he apparently murdered Korenosuke Hiden and also he is responsible in commanding all the Humagears to exterminate the remaining humans.

Past

Prior his life before becoming Another Zero-One, Will and Soreo Hiden were the loyal Humagear aids for Korenosuke until both of them were connected with the satellite Ark. Will and Soreo reached Singularity and discussed the better life for the Humagears. But to his disappointment, Soreo kept on living the way he should be. Before the Ark had been launched, some Humagears went on rampage and Soreo left the scene. That was the moment where Finis appeared and gave him the Anotherwatch.

Alternate Timeline

After becoming Another Zero-One, Will finally made the action of his resolve. He started by killing Korenosuke and let the Ark to be launched. Even when Sougo and Aruto later come to the past to resolve the problem, they failed to prevent the tragedy and Will explained to Aruto that Soreo was about to self-destruct the Ark, revealing that Soreo was the culprit in the past behind the destruction of the Ark. But Will prevented Soreo by cancelling the self-destruct. In the new present day, he first showed himself to be the new president towards Aruto, as the latter got confused with the altered timeline and yet to realize the situation. Will became Another Zero-One and proceed to fight Zero-One Rising Hopper. However, the battle was one sided as Aruto's power got decreased the more he fought and the latter chose to run away, leaving will to take his Driver.

Will hunted for Aruto and found him in the human resistance base. The fought was stopped with Izu, the only Humagear in the side of humanity offered herself in exchange to spare the humanity. During this moment, Aruto was aided by Sougo Tokiwa and his allies. They later went to the past, which disastrous results.

Will announced the public execution of Izu in the meeting room, but during the meeting, Aruto came and announced the legal take over as Will took over the company with unjust and not legal. With Aruto's interference, Shester announced for the legal voting for only 'Hiden' to be allowed for taking the position with many Humagears which secretly admitting the value of humanity to vote for Aruto to become the real president of the company. This angered Will and he turned those into Magia and Soreo, also in the scene, challenged Aruto because Soreo shared the right holder name, Hiden.

Will was later challenged by Isamu and Yua while Aruto had to settle the score with Soreo for the company ownership. During the last struggle, Will gets annihilated by the AIMS Riders. With the Will's destruction, his position was relinquished and the Zero-One power returned to Aruto.

Behind the Scenes

Portrayal

Will is portrayed by Soko Wada (和田聰宏, Wada Soko). As Another Zero-One, his suit actor is Eitoku.

Etymology

• In the same way that Izu's name is derive from present-tense word "is" and Wazu Nazotoku's name is derived from the past-tense word "was", it is likely that Will's name is derived from the word "will", which expresses the future tense.
  • Additionally, and ironically, Will is an older model of Humagear compared to Izu.

Notes

• Another Zero-One is the first Another Rider to be derived from a Reiwa Kamen Rider.
  • Another Zero-One is also the only Another Rider based on the first Rider from an era to not be rendered CGI.
    • He's also the only Another Rider based on the first Rider from an era to not be a Time Jacker.
• Another Zero-One's organic theme is the opposite of its archetype's mecha motif.
  • This trait is previously used by Another Kikai.
• Another Zero-One's design bears similarities to Kamen Rider Shin.
• Will is the second android to become an Another Rider following Paradox as Another Drive.
• As with most Another Riders, Will as the Another Rider Another Zero-One parallels to Aruto Hiden. Both were the succeeding president of Hiden Intelligence after Korenosuke Hiden in different timelines. Whereas Aruto continues his grandfather's legacy under the belief Humagears would help humanity, Will, on the other hand, tarnishes Korenosuke's legacy by conquering the world using the Humagears. Additionally, whereas Aruto reluctantly inherited the position of president by Korenosuke, Will obtains it by force.
  • In some ways, some of Will's traits mirrors that of Gai Amatsu. Both of them became president of Hiden Intelligence through force, tarnished Korenosuke's legacy, and came close to taking Aruto's powers as Zero-One. Although their actions are reversed, where Will's tenure as president had the Humagears to exterminate the remaining humans, Gai's tenure as president had humans to scrap the remaining Humagears.
  • Will as Another Zero-One is able to summon a swarm of grasshoppers, foreshadowing the power of Zero One's Metalcluster Hopper under the control of the Ark's influence.

Present-day Will with the older Humagear modules.

• Will appears to be an older model of Humagear, as he is equipped with the same type of Humagear Module that was used during the Daybreak Town Accident. He would later be upgraded into the current generation model in the alternate timeline.
  • Early promotional photos during the cast reveal for the film had shown present-day Will with the older modules instead of the current ones.
