- StarsShuichiro NaitoTakaya YamaguchiAsuka KawazuSince ancient times, there have been books responsible for all of Earth's civilization. These books were written with all sorts of myths, stories, living things, sources of science and technology. The book was protected by the "Holy Sword" and the "Selected Swordsman", keeping the world in balance. However, thousands of years ago, an attempt was made to steal the books. The books were scattered around the world and disappeared. This battle raged on in secret. In the present day, novelist Kamiyama Touma has a recurring dream: In another world, a swordsman fights a fierce battle with a monster in a book, and a mysterious girl seeks help. Every time he dreams about it, Touma is caught in the feeling that he is forgetting something important, but he doesn't know what that is or who the girl is. It seems that everyday life can collapse so easily. The dream always happens without warning. Suddenly, a strange phenomenon occurs where part of the city disappears. Important family members, friends, lovers disappear in front of each other's eyes. On the other hand, part of the disappeared city appears in a mysterious world. "Where are you?" "What happened?" "How can I get back?" The desperate people wonder. Touma and Mei Sudo, the editor-in-chief, are suddenly involved in this phenomenon. Surprisingly, the other world is very similar to the dream that Touma often has, and like the dream, mysterious monsters invade and begin to destroy the city. "I will definitely bring the city back to its original world!" Suddenly, a flaming sword appears as if responding to Touma's thoughts. As soon as he picks up the sword, he wields the power of the dragon, becoming "The Swordsman of Fire".

- DirectorKeita AmemiyaStarsHiroshi TsuchikadoShohei ShibataIsao SasakiAs do most of the various KAMEN (MASKED) RIDER television series, RIDER ZO concerns itself with a human being who is transformed into a cyborg hero and subsequently challenges a ruthless and powerful menace (frequently an alien organization using a series of bizarre creatures to enforce their will) which rises to threaten the Earth. The transition into a Rider is frequently the result of the evil entities' attempts at creating an unbeatable warrior, though in some of the previous projects, some riders have acted to create other Riders, and at least one individual deliberately became a Rider in order to exact revenge. In this case, the selected human is researcher Asou Masaru. Slightly unbalanced scientist Dr. Mochizuki is experimenting on the creation of a mysterious and vaguely threatening organism. Along the way, he pauses to create a human/locust cyborg. Alarmed at his new form, ZO retreats to a nearby forest and hides away.

ZO returns to defend the deranged scientist's young son and the world in a series of battles.
