This article is about a villain in Kamen Rider Black. |
- For the reboot version, see Creation King (Black Sun).
The Creation King (創世王, Sōseiō), additionally named the King of All Creation[1], is the leader of Gorgom, and was unseen for much of the series. It is one of the most powerful being that had been living for the past 50,000 years, potentially capable of destroying reality itself[2]. In its weakened state, the Creation King was a giant floating heart. It communicated with the Priests and the two Century Kings via telepathy.
Every 50,000 years, the existing Creation King dies. When this time draws near, Gorgom chooses two candidates to covert into Century Kings. Per tradition, said candidates are then forced to fight each other, as in Kohtaro and Nobuhiko's cases. The winner claims both Kingstones and becomes the new Creation King. This process has apparently been repeated several times, with each successor growing stronger than their predecessors.
S.I.C. Hero Saga[]
In the S.I.C. Hero Saga story, Kamen Rider Black RX: After 0, the fight between Black Sun and Shadow Moon was to determine which body would be most suitable for Gorgom’s ruler, the Creation King to use. He ended up in Shadow Moon’s body. It has Shadow Moon evolving itself into White RX. He hunts Kohtaro as they battle and wins with him taking the Kingstone from Kohtaro and becomes Creation King (Another Shadow Moon) (創生王(アナザーシャドームーン), Sōseiō (Anazā Shadō Mūn)) as the whole place starts to grow into a throne. Kohtaro rips off the Creation King's chestplate and revealed that it was not his brother but rather the Creation King who had used Nobuhiko's body. Knowing what to do, Kohtaro turns into Black RX even without the Kingstone and defeats Shadow Moon. Kohtaro then wakes up, apparently that was all a dream. Or was it?
Decade[]

Kamen Rider: Battride War Genesis[]
The Creation King appeared in this game as the final boss. After his defeat at Kohtaro's hands, the Creation King somehow cheated death by hiding within the evil of humanity. After several reincarnations, the Creation King finally regained enough power to plot revenge. Through a time machine, the Creation King went into the past and stole Nobuhiko's deceased body. Using it as a host, the Creation King wiped out a majority of the Kamen Riders, intending to rule the world without their interference.
However, the remaining Riders fought back and revived their allies, ultimately facing off against the Creation King. The Creation King revealed his plot to Kohtaro and the others, sneering at their actions. In defiance, Takeshi Hongo/Kamen Rider 1 swore to stop the Creation King's plans, much to the latter's amusement.
Eventually, the Creation King was overwhelmed in battle, though Hongo's transformation was canceled in the process. Severely weakened, the Creation King lost control over his new body, causing Shadow Moon to reemerge once more. Fully empowered as the "new" Creation King, Shadow Moon plotted to take over the entire space-time continuum. Suddenly, Hongo interrupted him.
Like his predecessor, Shadow Moon sneered at the "First Rider", believing that the Kamen Riders were no longer a threat. Undeterred by this, Hongo re-transformed into Kamen Rider 1, leading his successors into another battle. To Shadow Moon's shock, his godlike powers proved insufficent for victory, with his defeat sealed by Hongo and Takeru's Double Rider Kick.

Creation King Another Shadow Moon (創世王 アナザーシャドームーン, Sōseiō Anazā Shadō Mūn), is the final form of Shadow Moon. It is a form Shadow Moon took by absorbing both the Sun and Moon Kingstones. This form resembles a crimson colored Shadow Moon. The Creation King is essentially the true purpose of those who possess the Kingstones, so that the victor may claim the other to become the Creation King and rule Gorgom for another 50,000 years.
This form is exclusive to S.I.C. Hero Saga Kamen Rider Black RX Edition: After 0.
Red Shadow Moon (レッドシャドームーン, Reddo Shadō Mūn) is the form taken by Shadow Moon via absorbing the Creation King. In this state, Shadow Moon is as strong as his predecessor, being a threat to the space-time continuum itself.
With visibly no effort, he can create portals that are linked to different time periods, as well as summon several green copies of himself. Similarly, he can withstand several Rider Kicks from Kohtaro and his allies, if ultimately defeated in the end.Notes[]
- Unlike with Nobuhiko, there is no evidence the Creation King was subjected to brainwashing as part of its ascension. Media related to Kamen Rider Black is inconsistent about this with, Kamen Rider: Seigi no Keifu implying that both the Creation King and its competitor were subjected to a form of brainwashing, while the S.I.C. Hero Saga After 0 states the Creation King to be a being that possesses each of its successors and the game Kamen Rider: Battride War Genesis depicting it as an incarnation of evil that feeds off the malice of others to continue existing.
