The Worm species known as Natives also first arrived on Earth on the same year.
Masked Rider Project as mentioned in the course of the series was said to have started on 3 April 1971. The series made some allusions to the whole Kamen Rider series. Both were only used by Kabuto in the series, but Gatack got to use the Hyper Zecter in the Hyper Battle DVD. The Perfect Zecter serves as a primary weapon while the Hyper Zecter is a power-up device that enhances the powers of the original Zecter. There also exist two other Zecters known as the Perfect Zecter and the Hyper Zecter. Most Zecters are based on insects, with the exception of the Sasword Zecter, which is based on a scorpion. There are eight known Zecters within the Masked Rider System, each allowing the user to become a different Rider. Worth noting is that the Zecters have a mind of their own and can reject their present user in search of another one if they so choose. They also have the ZECTroopers to help them. Each Rider (except for the Hopper Riders and the Kabutech Riders) possesses two forms: the bulky armored cocoon-like Masked Form ( マスクドフォーム Masukudo Fōmu) and the sleeker Rider Form ( ライダーフォーム Raidā Fōmu) which can use the Clock Up ( クロックアップ Kurokku Appu), a system that allows the Rider to move at high speed. The Zecters appear instantaneously from the ZECT headquarters to the selected personnel so that they may transform into the respective Rider to fight any Worms in the vicinity. These Natives in turn gave the Zecters to humans so that they may protect them from alien Worms that would arrive later. They were created by the Natives, a species of Worm that arrived on Earth 35 years ago. Zecters ( ゼクター Zekutā), also known as the Masked Rider System ( マスクドライダーシステム Masukudo Raidā Shisutemu), are a compilation of mobile systems that affect space/time. The two soon work together to save humanity from the alien Worms-but not before uncovering the conspiracies within the ZECT organization and the 'Natives' species.
He meets ZECT operative Arata Kagami, who later becomes Kamen Rider Gatack. Making many enemies while at the same time meeting other Riders with mysterious origins, Tendou attempts to accomplish his goal at all costs: to destroy all Worms that threaten humanity. Souji Tendou has been trained for seven years while waiting for the Kabuto Zecter so that he may properly take up the mantle of Kamen Rider Kabuto. An alien lifeform, known as the Worms, emerged from the meteorite and became a threat to humanity. Seven years prior to the series, a meteorite struck the Shibuya district in Tokyo.
