Revision as of 14:48, 25 April 2015

Icon-zxThis article is about a villain organization in the TV special Birth of the 10th! Kamen Riders All Together!!.

The Badan Empire (バダン帝国, Badan Teikoku) was originally thought to be a secret organization aiming to conquer the world, creating a Third Empire. Badan claims to inherit the will of all the previous organizations that attempted to conquer the world but were defeated by the Kamen Riders, including the alien group, Jin Dogma. However, the Kamen Riders eventually united and stopped the organization's plans.

Afterwards, they changed their mode of operation and started acting in even more secrecy in the shadows of the world. They became known as Underground Empire Badan (地下帝国バダン, Chikateikoku Badan), operating from their main base, Badan City, presumed to be hidden somewhere in Earth's underground.

In Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai, Badan's true nature is revealed to be different from what was previously thought. Rather than inheriting the will to build a third empire, Badan is actually the Kingdom of the Dead, and its true goal is to bring all the dead souls back to the living world, and carry out the grudge of the previous organizations against the Kamen Riders.

In Kamen Rider Spirits, the Badan Empire was actually created by a godlike alien entity sealed on Earth, who could only manifest in incomplete bodies or as a spirit. It was in the shadow of various terrorist groups, starting with Shocker, aiming to create a perfect body which would allow reincarnation and return of their Great Leader to Earth.

History

Badan was a secret organization spread in various points of the world, planning to bring about a Third Empire. It was apparently led by Ambassador Darkness, a relative of Shocker's Ambassador Hell. Thanks to its advanced technology, some reports of its activities around the world were seen as UFO activity.

Ryo Murasame, a college student, and his sister, Shizuka Murasame, traveled to Brazil to investigate reports about UFO activities in the Amazon rain forest. Soon, they were attacked by the UFO they were searching for, and captured by Badan's troops. Shizuka soon was killed, while Ryou underwent an alteration procedure that remodeled his entire body, only leaving his brain intact, to become the perfect cyborg, ZX. Ryou became a pilot for Badan, but, after an accident, recovered his memories, turning against them. Badan attempted to kill him, but were defeated, losing their Amazonian base during his escape. The Nine first Kamen Riders fought against Badan, but they were unable to find out where their hideout was.

Badan's leadership moved to Japan afterwards, pushing forward its biggest operation, the development of the Space Break System. The system warps space, resulting in red skies when activated, and transfers energy to objects, having the capability to destroy anything without leaving behind any traces of its former existence. With a perfected version of the weapon, Badan would be able to quickly change the entire world order. To power up the final version of the system, they needed an exotic element, called Badanium 84, and start an operation to obtain all Badanium 84. However, a scientist forced to work for them, Doctor Itou leaks the information to his friend, Dr. Hajime Kaidō, who had come to know Ryou Murasame, and also to the Kamen Riders, who, after receiving that information, all headed to Japan too.

Ryou Murasame eventually met the nine Riders, and joined them in their battle, calling himself Kamen Rider ZX. Together, the 10 Riders destroyed Badan's Space-time Fracture System and killed Ambassador Darkness. However, they soon learn that the real leader of Badan was The Generalissimo of Badan, a powerful evil spirit, which appears before them as a giant skull in the skies, before quickly disappearing, taunting the Riders. Their battle wasn't over.

Let's Go Kamen Riders

In an alternate timeline caused by Ankh leaving an O-Medal behind in the year 1971, Shocker conquered Japan with the Shocker Greeed. The Badan Empire itself never came to exist as an independent organization, but its cyborg Tiger-Roid was a Shocker member in this alternate timeline. [OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders]

Dai-Shocker

One Badan Empire cyborg, Tiger-Roid, was part of a revived Dai-Shocker assembled by Decade to wipe out the Super Sentai, ensuring the survival of the Kamen Riders. Tiger-Roid chases Kamen Rider Diend after he invades the Crisis Fortress used by Dai-Shocker, but ends up stumbling upon Super Sentai members GokaiBlue and GokaiGreen. GokaiGreen has problems fighting against Tiger-Roid, but he ends up rescued by Diend, who destroys Tiger-Roid and the other Dai-Shocker troops that had been chasing him. After Dai-Shocker's alliance with Dai-Zangyack was revealed, both organizations were wiped out by a gathering of Kamen Riders and Super Sentai. [Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen]

Underground Empire Badan

Probably from their demises, Badan reformed as an underground empire/Kingdom of The Dead with members from destroyed evil organizations banded with the empire. By manipulating Ren Aoi, a family man whom mourned of the loss of his son, Shuu Aoi, they manipulated him and turned him into Kamen Rider Fifteen, one of Badan Empire's top soldiers with the Heisei Rider Lockseed that gives him the powers of all 15 main Heisei Riders.

Their first attempt was to burrow themselves out from the underworld, resulting multiple cases of people losing in the underground. During the ToQgers' arrival at Zawame City, they sent a Mogura-Roid on the surface to dig holes in the underground to call reinforcements with Fifteen overseer the operation. However, their plan failed by the combined forces of Armored Riders, ToQgers and the first three Showa Riders. Nonetheless, this was a small portion of their plan as a bigger one would come.[Ressha Sentai ToQger Vs. Kamen Rider Gaim Spring Vacation Combining Special]

Shu Aoi, Ren's late son was later targeted by Badan Soldiers in the land of dead until Kouta Kazuraba and Mai Takatsukasa, whom happened to be inside there for investigations, saved him while bringing him up to the surface but as he was targeted by multiple factions, he used his power for him, Kouta and Mai to escape. Badan later launched his army in a full-scale invasion on surface. Due to this, Tsukasa, Kaito and Kouta resort to recruit many Heisei Riders as soon as possible. Showa Riders also tried to stop them but believing the reason behind their reign of terror was due to the Heisei Riders' attachment to their deceased important ones, they quickly view the Heisei Riders as enemies and attacking them as the conflict of Showa and Heisei Riders lasted for a week. Badan Empire took this opportunity to kidnap Shu, which they succeed and place him on the Mega Machine Reverse, a device powered by Shu's imagination to revive the dead in place of those who lives.

One week after Badan's resurfaces, General Schwarz, on behalf of the Shadow Line offered their alliances as long as their plan involved bathing the Earth with darkness, as shown summoning his Cryner to attack Den-O's DenLiner. After Kouta becomes the last Rider standing, the Mega Machine Reverse arises, where Ambassador Darkness revealed his true form, Ryo Murasame/Kamen Rider ZX, whom infiltrated their organization from the beginning as he destroy the machine. But The Generalissimo of Badan anticipated this and submerged the true machine. Ryo then reveals that the other Kamen Riders that have supposedly been defeated had in fact been sent to Helheim Forest, and takes the opportunity to summon them back all at once to assist him and Kamen Rider Gaim.

While Kamen Riders battle the Badan armies and trying to destroy the Mega Machine Reverse, The Generalissimo of Badan arises as a giant T-Rex with Daigo Kiryu of Kyoryugers, the ToQgers and Den-O (via his Den-Liner) use their combine forces to destroy him. Using the Showa Rider Lockseed, Gaim finally defeated Fifteen and return Ren back to his true self. In the end, all of Badan forces were eliminated.
