Project Thouser is a 2-part special Blu-Ray miniseries for Kamen Rider Zero-One. It focuses on the character Gai Amatsu and how he became Kamen Rider Thouser.
Episode Trope:
- Call-Back: The first episode serves as a call back to the first 16 episodes which is depicted In-Universe as Gai’s collection of combat data, used for the creation of the ThousanDriver.
- Darker and Edgier: Like previous miniseries such as Kamen Rider Snipe: Episode ZERO, ROGUE and Rider Time: Kamen Rider Ryuki, this special does not hold back in the violence department and suggestive content. Best exemplified with Naki getting gunned down by Gai himself in the first part.
- A Day in the Limelight: The first episode focuses on the involvement of Naki in Project Thouser. It also functions as their A Death in the Limelight.
- Interquel: The miniseries takes place simultaneously with the entire first arc and will presumably end before the start of 2nd arc.
- The Reveal: Naki was the one who arranged for Jin’s revival.
