Icon-v3 This article is about an evil organization in Kamen Rider V3.

Destron (デストロン, Desutoron, alternatively spelled Deathtron) was a Shocker revival organization which emerged following the fall of the Geldam-Shocker union.

Origin[]

Destron was an international organization bent on conquering the world, through terror and destruction. Destron was formed under the guidance of the mysterious Great Leader by surviving members of Gel Shocker. Although Destron had branches in every country and sought to dominate the entire planet, its main headquarters was in Japan and so Japan was Destron's primary target. Initially the kaijin of the Mechanical Army followed the orders of the unseen High Destron without any direct supervision, but after repeated failures of the kaijin High Destron summoned Doctor G from Destron's German Division to take charge of the day to day operations of Destron's Japanese Division. 

Later history[]

Badan Empire[]

Kamisori Hitode of Destron was one of several monsters who were revived to serve the Badan Empire led by the Great Leader, now known as the Generalissimo of Badan. Kamisori Hitode was one of several monsters destroyed by Badan's own Spacetime Rupture System. [Birth of the 10th! Kamen Riders All Together!!]

Dai-Shocker[]

Along with the Shocker Combatmen, known as the Dai-Shocker Combatmen, the Destron Combatmen served as henchmen of Dai-Shocker. They were part of the Dai-Shocker army that was wiped out by a gathering of 25 Kamen Riders, [Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker] as well as the revived Dai-Shocker assembled by Decade to wipe out the Super SentaiIcon-crosswiki, ensuring the survival of the Kamen Riders. After Dai-Shocker's alliance with Dai-ZangyackIcon-crosswiki was revealed, both organizations were wiped out by a gathering of Kamen Riders and Super Sentai.

  • Great Leader of Destron (デストロン首領, Desutoron Shuryō, 48-52) (Except for the last few episodes, he was not seen. Only his voice was heard): In the earliest episodes he led directly; later he let one of his generals lead for him. His cyborgs are patterned after a combination of a manmade object and an animal (such as Camera Mosquito or Bazooka Turtle). In the last few episodes, he appeared in person for brief periods of time, but he wore a robe with a hood which hid all of his features. When his robe was pulled, a man with his head covered by white bandages and a smiling mask was revealed, but he quickly escaped. In the final episode, he was revealed to be a monstrous skeleton with a living heart, calling himself God of Death. V3 destroyed the monster's heart, apparently killing him, just to hear his voice again, from a tape player inside the skeleton's head. He congratulates V3 for finding his true form, but reveals that V3 would die alongside himself. Immediately afterwards, the Destron headquarters self destructed, but V3 escaped.

After numerous failures, Doctor G summoned the spirits of his dead, evil warriors to transform him into Kani Laser for his final battle with Kamen Rider V3.

After Doctor G is been replaced by Baron Tusk. He wields a spear which could fire explosion charges. His powers are magical in origin. The monsters in his Tusk Tribe are mutated forms of wild animals with fangs or tusks that are empowered through blood sacrifices of innocent victims by Baron Tusk. After his Tusk Tribe was wiped out by Kamen Rider V3, Baron Tusk later called on the spirits of Doovoo to give him the power to transform into the Kyuketsu Mammoth so that he could take revenge on V3 in his final battle. He was destroyed by V3's V3 Kaiten Sandan Kick.

He wields an oversized spiked mace in one hand and practices dark magic. Pronounces Destron as "Deeestron". He frames scientist Joji Yuuki for treason, fearing his position in Destron is in jeopardy, creating a rival in Riderman. General Yoroi became Zarigarna in his final battle against Kamen Rider V3. After being defeated by V3's V3 Full Kaiten Kick, he reverts back to his human form and despite surviving the encounter, he was destroyed by the Great Leader of Destron for failing defeat V3. In Kamen Rider Spirits, he's restored in a new Crab Kaijin body and seeks to eliminate his former rival Riderman. He was ultimately destroyed by Riderman's Machine Gun Arm.
