Because he was meant to be Shocker’s greatest altered human, Kamen Rider 1's capabilities are far greater than a normal man. He has the ability to hear at distances up to 4 kilometers away. He can break a meter thick tree trunk or a metal rod 10 cm thick with his Rider Chop. His Rider Kick has enough power to bend steel supports of buildings. Even when he wasn't fully transformed, this form was strong enough to withstand a 50 thousand volt electric shock.

Unlike in his later forms, Takeshi can't transform automatically in this form, needing external wind to jump start the Typhoon's turbine and give him access to his suit and most of his fighting strength. That wind is generally generated by riding his bike, but it also can come from other sources, like an explosion that pushes hot wind towards the Typhoon belt. It is thinkable that becoming Kamen Rider 1 has granted him a degree of immortality and immunity to organic diseases, viruses, bacteria and poison due to becoming a cybernetic human.

The original manga gives an in-depth analysis of the entire schematics used by Hongo, Ichimonji, and the manga Shocker Riders.

As seen in the middle of Hongo's transformation in Kamen Rider Taisen.

The original form of Kamen Rider 1 returned in Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai, as a cameo during Hongo's transformation into his current "New" Rider 1 form before the battle between the Showa Riders and Heisei Riders.

Rider Statistics

The form Takeshi shows after fighting against Shocker in Europe for some time. His appearance changed due to the effects of the constant fighting on his physical appearance and acceptance of himself.

In the TV show, this form doesn't seem to be any stronger than the original 1 form, but with stronger combat power due to Hongo's experience by this point. However, in the movie Kamen Rider vs. Shocker, this form was shown to be able to transform without needing external wind sources.

This version of Rider 1 is referred to as Sakurajima 1 (桜島 1号, Sakurajima Ichigō), due to the story arc where it debuted mostly taking place there. [Quiz! Distinguishing the First Rider]

New 1 (新1号, Shin Ichigō) is the third form of Kamen Rider 1. Takeshi Hongo is captured by Shocker and taken for a second reconstruction surgery, which gives him abilities surpassing his original ones. Hongo uses self-hypnosis to escape Shocker's brainwashing, turning their own power against them once again. [From Here to Eternity]

The upgrade allows Hongo to transform instantly, without needing external wind sources, gives him enough power and durability to survive a subzero trap and even a nuclear bomb close range with no apparent damage, and gives Hongo the versatility for different techniques that can satisfy demands otherwise unattainable in his previous forms, giving Takeshi the nickname "Skill of #1" (技の1号, Waza no Ichigō); this capability was later passed to Kamen Rider V3.

Ready Ultra Rider 1

This form also gives Hongo access to Rider Power, a temporary boost in Rider 1's battle power, triggered with a switch in his new Typhoon belt, that greatly increases his strength, making Rider 1 superior to Shocker's other creations.

In Ultraman vs. Kamen Rider, Rider 1 gains the ability to grow to Ultraman's size in order to balance out their size differences.

After fighting for over 45 years, Kamen Rider 1 (仮面ライダー1号, Kamen Raidā Ichi-Gō) appears with a further upgrade known as Power Up (パワーアップ, Pawā Appu) or Neo 1 (ネオ1号, Neo Ichi-Gō)[12], which is heavily armored and features a color scheme similar to Sakurajima 1. This form has been achieved after years of intense battles and training, with each function evolving and resulting in the perfection of his ultimate body.[13]

The suit also sports an updated version of the Typhoon, which has a shielded metal cover to protect the belt's fan turbine when Hongo isn't transformed. When he transforms, the plasma windmill in the center of Typhoon rotates at high speed, generating tremendous power.

Appearances: Ghost Episode 24, Kamen Rider 1.
