Gorgom

This article is about a villainous group in Kamen Rider Black.

The Gorgom (ゴルゴム, Gorugomu) is a mysterious cult and criminal group ruled by the Creation King. The group is notorious for its terrorist activities in the name of world domination and racial superiority over humanity.

Overview[]

As with most tokusatsu programs, this fictional criminal group is primarily based in Japan. Members of Gorgom consist of both human and non-humans. The group is notorious for its terrorist activities in the name of world domination. Their only formidable foe seems to be Kamen Rider BLACK, a failed creation.

History[]

For many years, Gorgom has been ruled by the mysterious Creation King. As Gorgom tradition dictates, a new King must be chosen every fifty millennia. The selection process involves finding several worthy candidates who will be transformed into mutants deemed Century Kings (世紀王, Seiki Ō), sentenced to fight for the crown with the survivor becoming the new Creation King.

In 1987, Gorgom chose Kohtaro Minami and Nobuhiko Akizuki as Century Kings. During their surgery, then current Creation King commanded the Three High Priests to place the powerful Kingstones into their bodies. Kohtaro was implanted with the "Stone of the Sun", and was given the name Black Sun. However, Soichiro Akizuki, the father of the brothers, went against Gorgom and freed Kohtaro from brain surgery. Nobuhiko received the "Stone of the Moon", and due to disrupted surgery, was in extended recovery before emerging as "Shadow Moon."

Kohtaro barely escaped with his life, but Nobuhiko remained captured by Gorgom, where he hibernated to become the next Creation King. Soichiro's actions were unforgivable, as Gorgom sent five Spider Mutants to kill him.

After the successful assassination, Gorgom continues to terrorize the country, in order to defeat Kohtaro and take his Kingstone, and to rule the world.

When Shadow Moon caused the apparent death of Kamen Rider Black, it affected Japan with some of them leaving the country and some worshipping the organization. With Kamen Rider Black's revival, he finally confronts Shadow Moon and the Creation King. Upon the destruction of the Creation King, it was the end of Gorgom.

World of Black[]

Gorgom also exists in the A.R. World of Black, where it is fought by a alternate Kamen Rider Black who never became RX. Dai-Shocker's Apollogeist arrived in this world prior to the World of Black RX, recruiting the Gorgom cult as a result. Gorgom's Rhinoceros Mutant was summoned by Apollogeist to convince Shvarian of the Crisis Empire to join Dai-Shocker. He is summoned again to help protect Apollogeist from Black RX, only to be quickly destroyed by Black's Rider Punch. ^{[RX! Dai-Shocker Attack] [Black × Black RX]}

Shocker Greeed[]

In an alternate timeline caused by Ankh leaving a O-Medal behind in the year 1971, Shocker achieved its goal of dominion of Japan with the Shocker Greeed. Gorgom, represented by Darom, was among the various organizations that forms a partnership with Shocker. ^{[OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders]}

Badan Empire[]

Both Baraom and Bilgenia were among the resurrected villains part of the Badan Empire revival which fought the 15 Heisei Riders and 15 Showa Riders. ^{[Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai]}

Super Hero Taisen GP[]

In an alternate timeline created by Shocker's History Modifying Machine enacting an assassination of the Double Riders by Kamen Rider 3 in 1973, the leader of Gorgom's Three High Priests, Darom, was among the many monsters that served the evil organization which ruled the world in this timeline. During the final battle against the Kamen Riders, Darom was destroyed by the unbrainwashed former Shocker Rider, Super-1. ^{[Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3]}

Behind the scenes[]

Gorgam served as the evil organization in the Kamen Rider BLACK TV series and manga.

Distinctly among the 70s and 80s run of the Showa Kamen Rider Series, Gorgom was the first evil organization which was not seen to have an army of generic combatmen, setting the precedence for the sporadic use of the staple in the Heisei Kamen Rider Series. However, Ant Mutants served in this function in the manga. In the show, the Crab Mutant was meant to be a template for a foot soldier, but the samples were destroyed before it could be mass-produced.
