 was the former captain of A.I.M.S. who transformed into .
==History==
===Background===
Isamu Fuwa was born on February 8, 1992 in South Asakusa, Tokyo, to his parents and weighing 3,140 grams at birth. Sometime later, he had a younger brother. At age 27, Fuwa enlisted at the Artificial Intelligence Military Service (A.I.M.S.) and became field captain. Yua Yaiba was assigned to the team not only to provide technical assistance, but to also keep his fiery ego in check. At some point, he unknowingly received an A.I. chip implanted into his brain in order to properly use the Shotriser.
According to Gai Amatsu, Fuwa was implanted with false memories, via the A.I. chip in his brain. Isamu Fuwa believed at age 15, he himself was a victim of the Daybreak Town Accident that resulted in the death of his parents. Fuwa recalled a memory of a platoon of rogue Humagears attacked his middle school, killing everyone except himself. Due to this, Fuwa beared hostility towards the Humagears and the company, Hiden Intelligence, who he believed had covered up the incident. However, this was all part of Gai's machinations for Fuwa to bear hostility against Humagears.
===The MetsubouJinrai Mystery===
Isamu Fuwa and his squad were deployed by A.I.M.S. to subdue the rampaging Trilobite Magia at a local amusement park. Fuwa decided to use the A.I.M.S. Shotriser as more began to overwhelm the soldiers, much to Yua Yaiba's protests that he isn't authorized to use the weapon. After containing the threat, Fuwa and Yaiba visited Hiden Intelligence to meet with the new president, Aruto Hiden, who often cracks bad jokes that forced Fuwa to restrain his laughter. Fuwa accuses the company for covering up the ramapage and later confides to Aruto about his traumatic memories of being chased by Humagears. When he was deployed to face the Kuehne Magia. Fuwa forcibly pulled the Shooting Wolf Progrisekey with sheer strength, allowing him to transform into Vulcan.
Through the watchful eye of Yua Yaiba, who would go on to become 'Valkyrie', Isamu Fuwa became more determined to crush any rouge Humagear believing they could harm humanity. After a couple belligerent encounters with Zero-One, Aruto unmasks himself in an effort to gain Fuwa's trust to uncover MetsubouJinrai.net's role in the Daybreak Town Accident. While the two debate the ethics of the Humagears, Vulcan would finally encounter the perpetrator of the factory explosion, Horobi. After being critically injured in battle, Fuwa was rushed to the hospital where he received an emergency operation by a Humagear doctor. It was that moment where Fuwa begins to value the good of what Humagears could do.
Fuwa would start to become wary of Yaiba recognizing her connections with ZAIA Enterprise Japan and its president, he promises to defeat her on the day she betrays him. The pair continued working together to subdue the Dodo Magia. Once A.I.M.S. uncovered a traitor within Hiden Intelligence, Fuwa spent to time to accuse astronaut Humagear Uchuyaro Raiden for being a MetsuboJinrai member. He was ultimately correct when they uncovered MetsubouJinrai.net's hideout at Daybreak Town, with Raiden being the sleeper agent 'Ikazuchi'. After swiping the Assault Wolf Progrisekey from MetsuboJinrai to access Vulcan Assault Wolf, declaring his resolve through his rage.
Fuwa led a raid with A.I.M.S. to take down MetsubouJinrai. Vulcan Assault Wolf was able to disable Horobi in battle, severely damaging him. With only Jin remaining and him launching an attack to the city, Fuwa later witnesses Aruto taking the Assault Grip off of the Assault Wolf Progrisekey to access Zero-One Shining Assault Hopper. He watches Zero-One defeating Jin, ending the MetsubouJinrai crisis once and for all. After the battle, Horobi's damaged body was brought over to A.I.M.S. and chained. Despite the victory, new Magias without Zetsumerisers started to resurface. While Aruto and Fuwa were able to defeat them, they remained puzzled on how where they were coming from despite having defeated MetsubouJinrai.
===The ZAIA Conspiracy===
With the presence of the Ark Magia, Fuwa remained at A.I.M.S. to interrogate Horobi that Ark has grown stronger to influence Humagears to become Magia without the need of Zetsumerisers. When the Raiders started to surface in the Workplace Competition, Fuwa learns from Horobi that MetsubouJinrai's "deceased" comrade is behind giving humanity the Progrisekey technology, subtly hinting of Naki. This was that point where he starts to notice visions of a hooded individual watching him.
Fuwa begins to grow suspicious with Yaiba following her transfer back to ZAIA Enterprise Japan. During a conflict between Vulcan and Valkyrie in a parking lot, they are intercepted by Gai Amatsu who defeats Vulcan as Kamen Rider Thouser having absorbed his data. Due to the matter of the Raiders, Fuwa cooperates with Aruto Hiden in order to keep a watchful eye on those who sabotage Hiden Intelligence's Humagears. He would on two occasions help Aruto undo his transformation as Zero-One MetalCluster Hopper, before Aruto managed to regain control of the form.
Eventually, Fuwa would discover the truth that he has an A.I. chip implanted to his brain, allowing Naki to control him remotely and distribute the Raidrisers across the area. Because of this, he knowingly freed Horobi from his captivity. Fuwa was left in a depressed state and is manipulated by Naki again to fight Aruto. Gai Amatsu's actions has paved the way for him to acquire Hiden Intelligence and tarnishing the Humagears' reputation.
Remembering Aruto's words of the importance of having a dream, Fuwa regained his confidence and vows to protect the Humagear in order to find a dream and crush ZAIA. Unleashing the power of the Rampage Gatling Progrisekey, he transforms into Kamen Rider RampageVulcan. While he fights Gai Amatsu and Yua Yaiba, Fuwa became more determined to fight to understand Yaiba's true dream. With the power of ten Progrisekeys, RampageVulcan triumphed over Thouser and the Fighting Jackal Raider. He later resigns from A.I.M.S., refusing to be a ZAIA lap dog any longer. However, Fuwa was still able to use the Shotriser and kept an eye on A.I.M.S.' movement, waiting for the chance to strike them, shall they do things more than just Humagear annihilation.
===Finding True Purpose===
Following Gai Amatsu had acquired Hiden Intelligence, A.I.M.S. to eradicate the Humagear and Yua Yaiba assumed his previous position as field captain. Isamu Fuwa became intent in fighting ZAIA Enterprise knowing the company was technically responsible for the Ark's advent and the Humagears going rampant. Through RampageVulcan, he vows to beat Yaiba everyday until she comes to her senses.
He would later be employed at HIDEN Manufacturing as a security guard, believing that staying close to Humagears would bring him one step closer to take down ZAIA. Once A.I.M.S. troops arrived to destroy the fashion Humagear Delmo, Fuwa prepared to face them. However, Yaiba snatches his Shotriser to force his transformation into Vulcan Assault Wolf, to let Naki to take control again. Jin manages to swoop in and took Fuwa to Daybreak Town to separate Naki from Fuwa's A.I. chip. The separation fails after Fuwa prematurely left during the process. However, Naki manages to regain their sense of self, deciding to rebel against Gai Amatsu like Fuwa. By syncing their consciousness, Fuwa and Naki put aside their differences to fight Thouser as RampageVulcan together.
Fuwa would finally learn the heartbreaking truth regarding his traumatic past. The memory of him being chased down by rouge Humagears in his classroom were all fabricated by Gai Amatsu to make him more hostile towards Humagears. While Fuwa broke down having questioned his early actions, this was the last straw for Yaiba to rebel against Gai. Fuwa joining with her as Vulcan and Valkyrie worked together to defeat Thouser together. In good gesture, Yaiba collaborated with Jin to separate from Fuwa and Naki. He wakes up in a hospital bed meeting with Naki in their new Humagear body. Fuwa learns of his past before joining A.I.M.S., learning that he had a normal, mundane life and still retains an unusual sense of humor.
===The Ark Uprising===
MetsubouJinrai would accomplish their goal in completely reviving the Ark, having evolved into Kamen Rider Ark-Zero. Fuwa discover that his family was still alive. While he observes them from afar, he is assured that they are living a normal life and safe from harm. Fuwa would engage Ark-Zero as Kamen Rider Vulcan, even associating himself with A.I.M.S. again as the threat of the Ark is reaching beyond comprehension. Following Gai Amatsu's change of heart, despite everyone unable to easily forgive him for his actions, Fuwa requested him to let A.I.M.S. operate independently from ZAIA.
Through the innovation of Kamen Rider Zero-Two, the Ark was finally subdued and completely shutdown by the efforts of Aruto Hiden and Horobi. Unfortunately, Horobi announced his intention to destroy humanity and began raising an army of Humagears. While Vulcan and Valkyrie engaged Horobi, the latter would destroy Is and brought Aruto Hiden's advent into becoming Kamen Rider Ark-One. Fuwa vehemently believed the Ark was controlling Aruto and went to confront him with Yaiba and Gai. However, Ark-One defeats the three Kamen Riders with ease and disables Vulcan and Valkyrie's A.I chips, blocking them from transforming again. He realized that Aruto isn't controlled by the Ark, but choosing to act under his own volition.
With tensions between humans and Humagears were being raised due to Aruto's actions as Ark-One, Fuwa appeared to Aruto seeing him allow in regret as he persisted to face Horobi. He showed Aruto little empathy and told him to not fight Horobi. Aruto was not swayed by Fuwa, who went on to say that he will do whatever it takes to stop him. Despite not being able to transform with the Shotriser anymore, Naki's Japanese Wolf Zetsumerisekey allows Fuwa access to become Kamen Rider Orthros Vulcan. He attacked Aruto, who became as Zero-Two and swiftly beat up Orthros Vulcan and knocked Fuwa out of his transformation before proceeding on to get his revenge.
During the final battle between Aruto Hiden and Horobi, Fuwa watched the televised battle in the Thouser Department office. With Yaiba and Gai, he would watching Ark-One fighting Horobi that led to Aruto letting go of his feelings of revenge. As Zero-One defeats Horobi, he spares the Humagear out of mercy. Following this final victory, Fuwa helped free an injured lady trapped in her car. Despite he had the opportunity to, he chose to not to return to A.I.M.S., but rather protect the city as an independent Kamen Rider.
===Kamen Rider Zero-One: REAL×TIME===
Three months after the threat of the Ark had subsided, Fuwa regains his ability to become Kamen Rider Vulcan after Gai Amatsu restored his A.I. chip. However, a new incarnation of the Ark arises with the presence of Rihito Isshiki (S), who embarks to destroy the world and replace it with a virtual paradise. Fuwa engages the Abaddon Riders as Vulcan and fights with Jin to stop a fighter jet from dispersing toxins. After being missing in action for the last few minutes, Vulcan and Jin returned for the final showdown against the Thinknet forces with Valkyrie, Horobi, and Thouser. After the battle ended, Fuwa is revealed to be still unemployed. While he is offered to rejoin A.I.M.S, MetsubouJinrai, and ZAIA, Fuwa ended up refusing these offers as he still prefered working solo.
===Zero-One Others===
Sometime after the Thinknet crisis, Fuwa was strolling in the city where he notices MetsubouJinrai.net's sudden announcement of their declaration of war on ZAIA Enterprise. While he arrives to Daybreak Town, he confronts Horobi and promises them that he'll crush them if they step out of line. He was present to witness Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai fighting against Lyon Arkland, but Fuwa was too late to stop it from killing the ZAIA CEO. While lashing out to his allies about it, he discovered Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai isn't being controlled by the quartet anymore as Fuwa witnesses it destroying their Humagear bodies and later ZAIA Japan HQ.
Following the destruction of ZAIA Japan HQ, Fuwa pursues Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai as it sets sights on Yua Yaiba. During a fight along with Valkyrie, MetsubouJinrai overwhelms Vulcan and damages his Shotriser. He later meets with Sold9 at gunpoint, with Fuwa advising the Humagear to make his own choices. After Yaiba was heavily injured in battle, Fuwa later arrives at Hiden Intelligence to repair his Shotriser, but couldn't due to it being ZAIA equipment. However, Aruto calls him from space and gives Fuwa his permission to use the Zero-One Driver. Upon arrival at Daybreak Town, he stops the Solds from harming Sold9. After Fuwa congratulated him for following his own "rules", he is granted the Dire Wolf Zetsumerisekey. Confronting Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai, Fuwa uses the Zero-One Driver to transform into Kamen Rider Vulcan Lone Wolf and thrashes MetsubouJinrai, but came with a heavy price as he is left in critical condition. As Yaiba rushed to his side, Fuwa laid beside her and left blinded during what appeared to be his final moments.
Sometime afterwards, Yaiba had recruited Sold9 and Sold20 to A.I.M.S. and they arrive at Shigeru Daimonji's press conference to announce their pursuit to protect A.I. from any future threats. After Yua and the Solds left the room, Fuwa appeared as he walks from behind, fading into light. Whether Fuwa lived or died was up to the viewers' interpretation.
==Other Events==
===Kamen Rider: Reiwa The First Generation===
Due to the timeline changes caused by Time Jacker Finis, Fuwa is seen fighting alongside the resistance fighters against Humagears under the command of Will.
In the mid-credits scene, Fuwa tells Yaiba about a dream where he was turned into a Humagear. He asks Yaiba to destroy him in the event that happens. Yaiba asks him about his actions if she is turned into one, Fuwa ensures her that he will crush her.
==Video Games Appearances==
==Personality==
Gruff and serious in demeanor, Fuwa is shaped by his burning hatred for Humagears. Stemming from his falsified memory of the Daybreak Town Accident, Fuwa believes that Humagears are designed to kill humans, and is thus obsessed with crushing them. To this end, he will readily dismantle any rampaging Humagear he finds, often ignoring the orders of his colleagues to do so. Through this, he is openly scornful towards Hiden Intelligence, who he believed covered up any terror-related attacks by Humagears. However this view began to fade after learning about the truth of the incident from Anna and his life was saved by Dr. Omigoto. He began directing his scorn towards MetsubouJinrai.net instead, even proclaiming that he doesn't need laughter, only anger. However, ever since the destruction of the terrorist group, he openly admitted to Yua that he awkwardly felt peace and has since reconsidered his hatred against them, scolding himself for getting angry at a robot trying to follow orders. This conclusion of his has even softened his personality somewhat, but his hard-headed demeanor still remained towards any unjustifiable deed he encountered. Fuwa began to help Aruto not as an officer of A.I.M.S, but as himself, going far to be his moral support about Humagears. This shows that Fuwa has completely lost his hatred to Humagears, just as long as they are not malicious.
His recklessness and short temper are only kept in check by his combat experience. He chooses to go by his own rules while engaging Magias or Raiders, as shown when he forcefully opens all of his Progrisekeys using brute force. (This eventually comes into play with the RampageGatling Progrisekey specifically designed to be opened using brute force in order to be used.) 
It is revealed that Fuwa is actually fond of Aruto's lame jokes and being the only one who appreciates them, but he is too proud to let his amusement be known and often tries his best not to react positively. When Naki made a pun styled after Aruto's usual wordplay, he was left laughing uncontrollably. His family, who occasionally crack similar jokes from time to time, appear to share this odd sense of humor with him.
==Abilities==
*Peak Human Condition: As a former commander of A.I.M.S., Fuwa is in top physical condition. He is strong enough to break open the locks on Progrisekeys and even nullify the Attache Shotgun's recoil after many uses as Vulcan Shooting Wolf. He is also strong enough to rip the Zero-One Driver off of a berserk Zero-One MetalCluster Hopper. By the end of the series, he can punch through a car door window and rip said car door off its frame and toss it a considerable distance.
*Expert Combatant: As a former commander of A.I.M.S., Fuwa is an expert in military combat arts. Despite Vulcan originally being a unit designed for ranged attacks, Fuwa is able to utilize Vulcan's full potential in close-quarters combat by mixing it with gun fare. He is also able to fully outwit his opponents with his quick thinking, despite rushing into battles without prior battle plans.
*Expert Marksman: It has been shown that Fuwa is an expert in firearms, since he is capable of firing without missing his target in either long or short distances.
*Indomitable Will: Fuwa possesses tremendous willpower that allows him to accomplish his goals in his own way. It is due to his will that he is able to mentally resist Gai and Naki from fully taking control of him.
===Weaknesses===
*Zetsumerisekey Power Strain: As seen in the penultimate episode, Fuwa is not safely immune to his new forms through Zetsumerisekeys, which causes his body to be recklessly damaged for a short period of time.
===Former Weaknesses===
*A.I. Chip: Fuwa has an A.I. chip implanted in his brain, allowing him to use the A.I.M.S. Shotriser. However, Naki's A.I. was uploaded into Fuwa's chip instead of the standard A.I. (due to Naki's body being dismembered from the revolver shots made by Gai), allowing the Humagear to take control of him. Gai can also use his personal ZAIA Spec to stop Fuwa from moving and place him in a considerable amount of mental pain through the chip. While Fuwa initially overcame the influence of the chip through strong willpower, usage of the Assault Wolf Progrisekey still enabled Naki to control him due to its connection to the Ark. However after Naki allied themselves with Fuwa, he became no longer at risk of being controlled, further ensured after Naki's extraction. Despite his willpower allowing him to overcome Gai's inducement of pain via the A.I. chip, the Ark is still able to incapacitate him with it. Ark-One eventually disabled his A.I. chip, rendering him unable to transform into Vulcan. Gai later restored Fuwa's ability to transform.
*Assault Wolf Progrisekey: Because the Progrisekey was meant to be used by MetsubouJinrai.net, Fuwa initially faced health risks while using this form, such as coughing blood. However, he has seemingly overcome these side effects. Using the Assault Wolf Progrisekey also makes him more vulnerable to Naki's control, but this is no longer an issue following Naki's extraction from him.

===Friends===
*Aruto Hiden/Kamen Rider Zero-One: Originally, the two had differing views on society's implementation of Humagears. While Aruto believes Humagears are the dreams of humanity, Fuwa views them as nothing more than killing machines and held prejudice for Hiden Intelligence's CEO (but in reality they were actually fake memories manipulating him). After being medically rescued by a doctor Humagear, Fuwa became more cooperative with Aruto and Hiden Intelligence, later going as far to work with him against ZAIA Japan, and working for him as a security guard in his new company. On a lighter note, he is fond of Aruto's terrible jokes and is the only one who finds them funny, though he tries to keep this to himself. Fuwa proved himself to be a valuable friend to Aruto. When Aruto goes rogue in a path of revenge, Fuwa uses Naki's key to become Orthros Vulcan to try & stop him, but failed. With his Shotriser destroyed by Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai, he goes to Aruto for help in restoring, but offers him the Zero-One Driver as he builds him his own company in order to put their souls to rest.
*Yua Yaiba/Kamen Rider Valkyrie: Despite being assigned to the same team, Fuwa and Yua often bicker, causing her to deny him authorized usage of the Shotriser and any of his Progrisekeys. After Fuwa learns of Yua's heavy affiliation with ZAIA Japan, he began to hold suspicions with her affiliation with Gai, but they still worked well together under pretense. After Gai revealed the existence of their AI chips, Fuwa had the willpower to resist him but understood that Yua could not. Despite this, Fuwa holds a great deal of respect for her and promised to continue to fight her until the day she finally breaks free, even though she made Naki control him again. After the events of Episode 33, Fuwa was overjoyed to see her walk a new path outside of ZAIA Japan, even if it was not with him or Hiden Manufacturing. After Yua was confined to the hospital upon being defeated by Ark-Zero, Fuwa lent her Ai-chan to help channel her inner emotions. Yua ultimately apologizes to him, responding to her with forgiveness. Later, Fuwa cared for Yua enough to bring her flowers, though he wouldn't able to give them to her after she got discharged.
*Is/Kamen Rider Zero-Two: At first, Fuwa felt a certain hatred towards the Humagears, mainly because of the Daybreak Town Accident that had happened years ago. That hatred apparently extended to Is, but he overcame that hatred little by little. This was to the point that he now considers her an ally, and she was the one who warned him about what Yua could be doing along with ZAIA Japan. On the other hand, despite now working together, Is sees Fuwa's wild and reckless nature to be somewhat dangerous, and even compares it to that of a gorilla, much to the latter's outrage.
===Allies===
*(Kamen Rider) Horobi: After knowing that Horobi is the perpetrator behind the Daybreak Town Accident, evidenced by the latter's transformation into Kamen Rider Horobi, Fuwa originally held great hatred against Horobi. His rage towards the terrorist group's leader makes him lose his composure and attack him wildly. However, Horobi (along with Jin) was surprised that he was able to use the Assault Wolf Progrisekey, despite the fact that only MetsubouJinrai.net members could use it. Fuwa finally got his revenge after Horobi took the Rider Kick meant for Jin, thus seemingly decommissioning the rogue Humagear. During the Workplace Competition, Fuwa interrogates Horobi for information if there's a surviving member of the latter's group involved in this. Due to Naki possessing Fuwa through the A.I. chip inside his head, Horobi helped him while fighting Thouser instead, though he only proclaimed that it's the will of the Ark to do so.
*(Kamen Rider) Jin: Although there was not much interaction between them, Fuwa considers him as an enemy just for being a member of MetsuboJinrai.net. After Jin was destroyed by Zero-One Shining Assault Hopper, Fuwa is relieved. However, after Jin was rebuilt once more and gained a new form, Fuwa is once again wary towards him. However, due to Naki possessing the former through the A.I. chip inside his head, Jin helped Fuwa, with the Humagear now considering him as another "friend" that he needs to save from Gai. It was Jin who revealed to Fuwa his connections to Naki.
*(Kamen Rider) Ikazuchi/Uchyaro Raiden: They were at enemies at first when Jin used a Forceriser to regain Ikazuchi's true programming. Eventually, after being destroyed with Assault Wolf, Ark revived him anew. Eventually, they worked together to destroy Ark for good.
*(Kamen Rider) Naki: Due to an A.I. chip implanted inside Fuwa's head, Naki controlled him into freeing Horobi from custody. Fuwa himself was not aware of this until Jin showed up footage of him destroying the camera on Horobi's large cell, which greatly shocked Fuwa in return. During ZAIA Japan's attack on Delmo, Naki began to show signs of Singularity and worked with Fuwa to take down a common enemy. When Naki began cracking into the ZAIA Spec and forcing its users to rampage, Fuwa managed to dissuade them from continuing this course of action. When Fuwa was hospitalized following Yua's extraction of Naki from his brain, Naki greeted him cordially in his hospital room and revealed to him the truth about his past, as well as his embarrassingly peculiar sense of humor to Yua via an Aruto-style pun that sent him into a fit of uncontrollable laughter. Both Naki and Fuwa share a bond as they're wolves themselves. When Aruto goes rogue, Naki offers Fuwa their Japanese Wolf key while all his keys were obsolete. But Orthros Vulcan failed due to ShotRiser's limits.
*Gai Amatsu/Kamen Rider Thouser: Fuwa is suspicious towards Gai and his company for what he might be trying to do. After seeing that Yua is affiliated with Gai, Fuwa has a fight with her, but before defeating her, Gai appears, now considering him an enemy, with the latter personally labeling Fuwa a "stray dog", which angers the latter. He later bears a great hatred towards Gai after learning his evil schemes, especially after learning that he had been implanted with an A.I chip in his brain to be controlled anytime Gai demands it.
*Sold9:to be added
===Enemies===
*Ark: The enemy of all humans and Humagears alike. The very thing that drew Fuwa into battle. He, Aruto, Yaiba, and Gai fought the evil AI together.
*Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai: Upon witnessing the advent of MetsubouJinrai's rampage, Fuwa is initially bewildered and confused as to the motivations behind the Rider's actions. However, after recalling an earlier conversation between himself and Horobi, he realized that the Rider targeted Yaiba in order to draw him out, as MetsubouJinrai wanted him to be the one to destroy them. He understood that while the group sought to liberate all Humagears and give them their freedom, it did not necessarily mean the destruction of all of humanity, and in carrying out their own justice they had inevitably strayed away from their path. As such, he decided to see their resolve to the end as well, by engaging them in one last battle once and for all.

===Memes===
*There are several memes that have been made public regarding Fuwa's character, such as his uncontrollable laughter upon hearing Aruto's signature pun sign, and him forcing open every Progrisekey he uses to transform. Premium Bandai later released the A.I.M.S. Role-play Set, which includes an unopenable Shooting Wolf Progrisekey.
*During his conversation with Aruto and Izu, Fuwa was angered when she questions him if he was a "gorilla" (). Later, in REAL×Time, Jin calls Vulcan "Gorilla" when the latter fell off a jet operated by nano machines in his Punching Kong form.
All of these memes have been publicly acknowledged by Okada, who often pokes fun at it on his YouTube channel. To that extent, he occasionally wears a gorilla mask and opens a bag of potato chips "Fuwa-style".
==Notes==
*Isamu Fuwa is 27-years-old in the series, however Zukan lists him as 26.https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/zukan/characters/1733
*According to Okada, Fuwa's different interactions with the Shotriser's energy bullet represent his different expressions of anger towards the Humagears.https://youtu.be/nVuP4-bFKv4
**When transforming into Shooting Wolf, he punches it.
**When transforming into Punching Kong, he deflects the bullet with the back of his hand. Okada states that this way showcases the power of Fuwa's arm strength.
**When transforming into Assault Wolf, he catches it in his hand and crushes it.
**In his first transformation for RampageVulcan, Okada originally thought of doing a backwards roundhouse kick but did not have the martial arts experience to properly perform it on-screen without getting ridiculed by the stunt team. Ultimately he decided to just let the bullets hit him instead, with each striking a different part of the body, forming the armor. In the form's second appearance, Okada changed it into a punch, deflect, and roundhouse kick.
**When transforming into Orthros Vulcan, he uppercuts the rider model.
*The transformation pose for Lone Wolf draws elements from early Showa-era Rider poses, such as the arm waving and leap. This was suggested by Okada, who noted the freeing of his hands from holding a Shotriser. Okada performed the leap by jumping from a trampoline off-screen."Animage" Tokuma Shoten, September 2021 issue, 106-107pSpacecraft 174 2021 , pp. 50–51, “[Conversation] Ryutaro Okada x Hiroe Igeta ”Toei HM64 2022 , pp. 60–66, "KAMEN RIDER VULCAN & VALKYRIE MAIN CAST CROSS TALK Ryutaro Okada x Hiroe Igeta"
*Fuwa (不破) is also a homophone to the name of the fairy from Star☆Twinkle Pretty Cure, which airs alongside Zero-One. This fact is implicitly acknowledged by Ryutaro Okada on some of the song cover videos on his YouTube channel, where he has a Fuwa plush on his music stands.
**Takanori Nishikawa, the singer of Zero-Ones opening theme also mentioned about two "Fuwas" when he starred as MC in NHK's All Pretty Cure Mega-Poll.
*A recurring aspect of Fuwa is his habit of forcefully opening Progrisekeys to transform due his "unauthorized" usage of the Shotriser. However by Kamen Rider Zero-One: REAL×TIME, Fuwa is able to open them effortlessly.
