Zoruku Tojo
Zoruku Tojo also known as the Phantom Thief Ultimate Lupin, is a thief who was active during the mid-20th century. In the present, when he grew old, Zoruku found and took control of the body of Cyberoid ZZZ. Long ago in the mid-20th century, Zoruku was a notorious phantom thief in his younger days. However as time passed, he grew older and as a result, he was forced to retire from his famed career.

Six months after the Global Freeze, he learnt of the Roidmudes and Kamen Rider, the old Zoruku Tojo stumbled upon the Cyberoid ZZZ, a Roidmude that was put into stasis by Krim Steinbelt. It was originally meant to be a body for Krim to use during the threat by the Roidmudes. However it had required a strong will to use, therefore prompting Krim to insert himself into the Drive Driver instead due to confidence issues. Wanting to return to his glorious early days, Zoruku decided to upload his consciousness, which was surprisingly compatible with said Roidmude, and gained the ability to freely manipulate Slowdown.

Cyberoid ZZZ
- Cyberoid ZZZ
- Cyberoid ZZZ is Zoruku Tojo's Roidmude form. Originally intended as the vessel for Krim Steinbelt's consciousness, ZZZ was placed in stasis when attempts to upload failed. The Roidmude gained life when the aged Zoruku Tojo uploaded his own consciousness into it, which soon formed into something resembling a Roidmude's Core after Lupin's defeat.
- Prior to the birth of Kamen Rider Lupin, Zoruku took the Roidmude's homunculus as his first battle form while wearing a black cloak as additional clothing. However, as Mr. Belt stated, while he also lacks the strong mentality to use it, his reason is also because the usage of Cyberoid also increases the wearer's aggression.
- Abilities:
- Heavy Acceleration : The signature ability of the Roidmude is to somehow slow down the movement of surrounding objects', including that of humans, with their unaffected consciousness aware of their impass during this time. One can be protected by the Heavy Acceleration effect by carrying Shift Cars or Signal Bikes on their person.
- Advanced Camouflage : Roidmudes can generate disguises through film-layers around their body that function similar to the cerebral cortex.
- Steam Generation : Cyberoid can unleash a high pressure steam as an attack.
- Superhuman Agility : Cyberoid can perform numerous inhumane tricks, all because of his mind, Zoruku is a phantom thief.
- Superhuman Strength : While this Roidmude seemed to be a half of Kamen Rider Lupin, but its strength is formidable to counter that of Drive.
- Claws : Cyberoid can us his claws to generate energy slashes.
- Energy Ball Projection : Cyberoid can emit yellowish energy ball as offensive means.
- Electricity Manipulation : Cyberoid can manipulate electricity to his liking, used to shorten out Genpachiro Otta's Pikopiko 2.
- Levitation : Lupin can levitate himself easily in mid air, as well as lifting heavier objects like cars.
- Data Replication : Cyberoid ZZZ can replicate data of his opponent and materialize a copy of his own.
- Adaptive Core : Though not exactly ZZZ's own core, Zoruku's consciousness, which resembles a Roidmude's Core, seemed to be able to adapt and fuse with any type of Viral Cores, allowing him to become any classes of Roidmudes. However, this is only seen during the last scene of the movie, where he becomes a Bat-Type Roidmude, though the body produced is only holographic than a solid object.
Bat-Type Roidmude Hologram
- Bat-Type Roidmude Hologram
- Height : 210 cm
- Weight : 0 kg (presumably due to being a ghost)
- After Megahex ZZZ was destroyed by Drive and Gaim, Zoruku's consciousness, resembling a Roidmude's Core, would fuse with a Bat Viral Core to allow him to exist as a holographic Bat-Type Roidmude. His Roidmude form was briefly seen during the fusion of his core. Also if looked closely, his letter code on the number plate was shown blank instead of visible, like that of one of Megahex's Mecha Roidmudes. He is also able to revert to his Viral Core form at will, without his core being separated from it.
- Abilities:
- Advanced Camouflage : Roidmudes can generate disguises through film-layers around their body that function similar to the cerebral cortex.
- Holographic Projection : Zoruku retains his ability to create film reel stripe projections, which he does to project anything from his mind.
Equipment
Devices
- Viral Cores : Allow Lupin to use weapons
Lupin Gunner is the pistol-like transformation device of Zoruku Tojo (Kamen Rider Lupin), created by stolen data from Mashin Chaser's Break Gunner. Unlike the Break Gunner, the Lupin Gunner has more strange abilities than the original version, and the announcement is very suave. It has an additional Blade Mode that is accessed via the Lupin Blade Viral Core.
In this mode, by pressing and releasing the Destruction Muzzle, Lupin can launch a colorful energy beam to slash his enemy. After Lupin returned and helped to defeat Roidmude 100, the Lupin Gunner was left behind and later came into the possession of the Special Investigation Unit. After the destruction of Gold Drive and Sigma Circular, it was among the Kamen Rider arsenal locked beneath the Drive Pit alongside Krim Steinbelt himself.
Functionality
To transform, the user firmly holds the Hard Gear Grip and slams their hand on the Destruction Muzzle spring-like button, holds it for a few seconds, then lets go and aims the Lupin Gunner above their head, causing the device to announce "Lupin" while a series of jewels projects out of it to surround the user and combine with the user's body, thus ending the transformation sequence into Kamen Rider Lupin.
By pressing and releasing the Destruction Muzzle, Lupin can also activate the Lupin Gunner's Gun Mode. Pressing the Destruction Muzzle once again activates its Break Mode as well. It also allows him to use the Lupin Gunner as a knuckle duster with the small spikes below the Destruction Muzzle called Revenger Pikes empowering the blow.
Lupin can only "Tune" up using his personal Viral Core by inserting it into a slot called the Viral Landing Panel behind the Guard Wingle, a silver spoiler. Pressing the Destruction Muzzle while the Lupin Gunner is in Blade Mode will reactivate its Gun Mode once more, allowing Lupin to snipe his target by pulling the Demolition Trigger. Once his Lupin Gunner is in Blade Mode, Lupin can use a finishing attack called Ultimate Lupin Strush, which is a jewel-shaped energy slash. It is activated by pressing and holding the Destruction Muzzle before pulling the Demolition Trigger once more.
