Most notable is Toei’s reveal for Kamen Rider Zero-One. The character Gaia Amatsu (Kamen Rider Thouser) reveals a new documentary called Kamen Rider Thouser: THE PRESIDENT, announcing his new company, Thouser-Intellion…
昨日発表した
『新会社サウザインテリオンの設立』及び
『仮面ライダーサウザー ザ・プレジデント』が
エイプリルフール情報であるとの誤解が多く発生したことを受け、（株）サウザインテリオン社長・天津垓より、お詫びと真相のご説明を行わせて頂く運びとなりました。詳細は会見動画をご覧下さい。 pic.twitter.com/EvDcIuJw0F

Announced yesterday, the establishment of new company Thouser-Intellion, and Kamen Rider Thouser: THE PRESIDENT.
In response to many misunderstandings that the information is for April Fools Day, we would like to apologize and explain the truth from the president of Thouser-Intellion Co. Ltd., Gai Amatsu.
Please see the press conference video for details.
The video features Gai Amatsu succumbing to some kind of physical pain, followed by a logo exiting his body; Kamen Rider Genms: The Presidents.
In actuality, the project is a callback. Kamen Rider Genms: The Presidents was a previous April Fools title image revealed by Toei in 2018. The original announcement read:
New Ex-Aid release!
Kamen Rider Genms: The Presidents
The four big presidents of that company get it all together! Masamune Dan, Kuroto Dan, Ren Amagasaki, and Tsukuru Koboshi rise to change the world!! At that time, the shareholders…!?
To be released and become out-of-print in 2020!
In actuality, the new spinoff will be a crossover featuring Kamen Rider Thouser fighting Kamen Rider Genm. Toei previously announced Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Brain as a fake April Fools gag, then later, in 2020, released it as an actual two-part spinoff on the Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club – the same release format will be given to Kamen Rider Genms: The Presidents.
