Then Gorgom monsters showed up and slaughtered his gang with Tachikawa only running away. When one of his gang members, Sub, finds him and tries to convince Tachikawa to fight the Gorgom, the monsters appear and attack again.

Abilities[]
As one of Gorgom's Black Dummies, Tachikawa lacks a Kingstone to enhance his abilities but has roughly the same amont of power as the original Kamen Rider Black, even using a normal Rider Kick which can knock out Gorgom's mutants. To compensate for this he uses additional leverages such as using a brick to enhance his punching ability for a fatal Rider Punch and crashing his opponents into a wall with his Rider Kick.
Notes[]
- Design wise when clothed, Black 07 resembles Kamen Rider 1, albeit with a leather biker jacket, a grey scarf and no Typhoon Belt.
