- They originally wanted anime section for episodes 5 & 6, but filming was in August and the episodes were to air September & October, they would want 6 months to produce it, but with barely 2 months to air, it was impossible.
- Episode 11& #39;s Shinya Owada (played by the actor Shinya Owada), wasn& #39;t originally planned, but after they cast him, they re-wrote the character so it matched up with the actor himself
- Producer Momose based the Ikebana (flower arranging) Humagear on his university friend and his mother who were specialists. They asked them for assistance and by chance the mother was already a fan of Zero-One
- He asked his lawyer friend to look over the dialogue for episodes 21 & 22

- Omori said that while Rider was going to change for the Reiwa era, they didn& #39;t plan for any huge abrupt changes from previous shows.
- Akio Kaneda from episode 1 would ask to reappear again every time he bumped into the staff
- Akio Kaneda from episode 1 would ask to reappear again every time he bumped into the staff
- They didn& #39;t expect how much of an impact Fukkinhoukai Taro would have in episode 1. However it made them realize that picking AI as the theme for the show was a good choice
- Omori admits that some fans didn& #39;t like the "5 Job Competition" arc, but he loved it and viewing figures grew during that period. Zero-One was probably the only show that could pull off this kind of story
- Originally they had planned for Gai to take over Hiden Intelligence a lot sooner, with Gai sat in Aruto& #39;s office with Izu beside him around the New Year& #39;s holiday. Eventually they realized it was too quick as people wanted to see Aruto as CEO more.
- Though they found the "5 Job Competition" arc didn& #39;t really need to have any Riders appear and the action scenes didn& #39;t exactly mesh with the drama portions.
- Omori worries that Gai& #39;s evil intentions were actually a little too realistic and a character doing workplace harassment on a Sunday morning might have been a little too heavy
- In the show, Zero-One needed the "President" title to be able to transform and with Hiden Intelligence being stolen from him, they created HIDEN Manufacturing for him to run
- Gai getting beaten up a bunch later on was a reaction to backlash to the "5 Job Competition" arc.

- They had written up to episodes 38 & 39 when the emergency declaration was made and further writing was stopped. They didn& #39;t know when it would be lifted and how many episodes they would get to film.
- Because of Corona hold-up and whatnot, they ended up introducing Ark quicker than planned (in President Special 2)
- If Corona hadn& #39;t occurred, they would have had 14 episodes left, but the break cost them 4 episodes and they had already penned the following 4... which left them with 6 episodes to wrap everything up
- At one point, it was possible that the show would end of episode 41. By the time they finished episode 45, Saber& #39;s team had finished filming the first two episodes.
- Aside from Ark-One and ZAIA& #39;s new president being introduced, with 4 episodes left, they basically started from scratch. They did always want Zero-One Vs. Hirobi as the final fight (with Takaiwa in the suit), but weren& #39;t sure how to get there
- In a meeting around that time, someone came up with the idea that Aruto becomes Ark-One after losing Izu and going evil because Horobi killed her
