History

Main Article : Toru Hojo

Toru Hojo is the creator of the Victory One System (V1) along with its project leader, Professor Takamura; which was meant to rival the G3 System. Despite his attitude, he has respect for Hikawa; as well as admiration for Ozawa. After he gives up on pursuing the G3 system, Hojo tried to uncover the mysteries behind Kazaya Nobuyuki's murder, which lead to the uncovering of the culprit, which is none other than Yukina, an Agito.

The first appearance when he use the V1 System in episode 23 using a modified pistol similar to G3's GM-01 “Scorpion”. It was destroyed when G3-X's "perfect" AI went on a rampage after detecting a threat when V1 pointed his gun on him and concluded that the action were hazardous. The V1 Unit later appeared in S.I.C. Hero Saga: Project G1 with an additional backpack module.

Design : The V-1 System looks very similar to the protagonists of the Metal Hero Series. This is due to the fact that V-1's costume is made up of various props from various Metal Heroes. The V1 System's composed of Solbraver helmet, Jiban body (with Kamen Rider G3-X's chestplates), Tryjacket legs, and the BM-01 Dictator for the sidearm. With the completed costume painted metallic silver, V-1 resembles Gavan , the original Metal Hero and the first of the Space Sheriffs.

The V-1 System's Kamen Rider status is debatable since the system was never referenced or designated as a Kamen Rider. Design-wise, V-1 has no resemblance to previous Kamen Riders and is much more reminiscent of a Metal Hero.
