This article is about a group of foot soldiers in Kamen Rider Ghost. |
The Gamma Commandos (眼魔コマンド, Ganma Komando) are the basic foot soldiers used by the Empowered Gamma, physically resembling the Gamma's Primal Bodies, but with the lack of a face and wearing black-colored hoodies. Like the primal Gamma, they are summoned through the Gamma Eyecons, but lack the energy needed to become more powerful.
Gamma Commandos can also be summoned by Another Ghost or anyone wielding the Ghost Another Ridewatch.
History
Back in the Gamma World, many hundreds of Gamma Commandos were led by the Emperor Adonis in the civil war against Danton. [Ghost RE:BIRTH: Kamen Rider Specter]
The Gamma Commandos were first summoned by the Katana Gamma through a batch of Gamma Eyecons to back himself up against Kamen Rider Ghost. Summoning his Gan Gun Saber, Ghost was quickly overwhelmed in the ensuing swordfight, but his persistance, inspired by the legendary Miyamoto Musashi who fought 100 opponents at once, allowed him to synchronize with Musashi's soul. Using the newly created Musashi Ghost Eyecon to assume the Musashi Damashii, with Musashi's Parka Ghost taking out a few commandos by itself, Ghost swiftly destroyed all the Gamma Commandos with his Gan Gun Saber's Nitouryu Mode before proceeding to finish off the Katana Gamma as well. [Eyes Open! It's Me!]
A single Gamma Commando served as Machine Gun Gamma's driver and survived the death of its Empowered Gamma master. [Shock! Mystery Kamen Rider!]
Chikara Saionji summoned a pair of Gamma Commandos through the Gamma Eyecons to reclaim the Billy the Kid Ghost Eyecon which had just been taken from him by Onari. Unmasked by the Kumo Lantern held by Akari, the Gamma Commandos are briefly fought back by Onari before they pursue him and Akari only to be temporarily incapacitated along with Saionji by the Bat Clock's ultrasonic screech, allowing Onari and Akari to find Ghost. However, the Gamma Commandos eventually recover as they catch up with and kidnap Onari and Akari, witnessed by Ghost who is interrupted by Insect Gamma's transformation into a Giant Gamma form. [Fast Shooting! Legendary Gunman!] Summoning an additional three Gamma Commandos to guard the entrance to his hide-out, Saionji had the remaining two regress to their Eyecon forms in order to have them possess Akari and Onari, planning to use them to obtain the Billy the Kid Eyecon back from Ghost. However, Ghost soon enough defeated the Giant Insect Gamma and moved to rescue Akari and Onari, defeating the Gamma guards then destroying the pair of Eyecons just before they could possess them. [Activate! Another Monolith!]
A pair of Gamma Commandos led by a single Gamma Assault appear in the human world looking for the banished Alain, who manages to elude them. [Appearance! The Mysterious Warrior!]
A horde of Gamma Commandos were summoned by Hikoki Gamma Perfect to back him up against Kamen Riders Ghost and Specter, with Specter dealing with them as Ghost caught up with Hikoki, utilizing a succession of Nobunaga Damashii then Tutankhamun Damashii along with their Omega Drives to wipe them out. [Furious! Idol's Declaration!]
A final troop of Gamma Commandos led by a quartet of Gamma Superiors were summoned by the Great Eyezer against the Kamen Riders and were opposed by Deep Specter and Necrom while Ghost moved to oppose the Great Eyezer. The duo received unexpected assistance from a strange, new Kamen Rider who, after using his motorcycle brought forth by the Shakariki Sports Gashat to fight, destroyed the last Gamma force with his Critical Strike finisher. [Infinity! Power of Humanity!]
Ghost Bugster
The Ghost Bugster's Bugster Virus appear in the hybrid form of Gamma Commandos.
Saber + Zenkaiger: Superhero Senki
Numerous Gamma Commandos would be recreated by Asmodeus himself in order to serve as part of his army. They were first seen supporting their superior in the army itself, the Sentai Megid, in attempting to interfere with Zenkaizer's, Kamen Rider Blades', the Taros Imagins and Kamen Rider Zi-O's quest in obtaining some scriptures when they were dragged into a twisted version of Journey to the West.
Later on, they would be seen as part of a large gathering of recreated villains and monsters that Asmodeus himself had created as part of his trap against the heroes themselves that would serve to erase them all out of existence. However, thanks to Touma Kamiyama managing to help Shotaro Ishinomori regain his passion for drawing out superheroes, all of the Kamen Riders and all of the Super Sentai teams had been restored back into existence who had, in turn, wiped out the entire army itself.

Specter Damashii (スペクター魂, Supekutā Damashī, lit. "Specter Soul") is Specter's default blue form. Accessed through the Specter Ghost Eyecon, this form bears the Persona Berserk (ペルソナバーサーク, Perusona Bāsāku) helmet with the Face Berserk (フェイスバーサーク, Feisu Bāsāku) faceplate.
While assuming Specter Damashii, Specter dons the Berserk Reflector (バーサークリフレクター, Bāsāku Rifurekutā).
In this form, Specter has much more power than Ghost has in his Ore Damashii. He also has more agility than Ghost, making Specter overall is more prowess than Ghost. In a similar vein to Ghost's anti-gravity levitation, Specter can utilize superhuman speed, which commonly used as an escape from the enemy or simply a method of transportation.
This forms finisher is the Omega Drive (Specter) (オメガドライブ スペクター, Omega Doraibu (Supekutā)): A flying kick that uses spiritual energy which makes the body and mask of Specter's form glow and envelops him in a blue flame. It can also be used as a slash or shooting attack with the Gan Gun Hand.
Eyecon
Sounds for a hypothetical Commando Gamma Eyecon are programmed into the Proto Mega Ulorder.
Concept Art
Gamma Commando was designed by Kazuhiko Shimamoto (島本 和彦, Shimamoto Kazuhiko).
Notes
- Their title as commandos (コマンド, Komando) was previously used for Neo Shocker's Ari Commandos in Kamen Rider (Skyrider).
- The Commandos' blades can be uses as both swords (blade up) or guns (blade forward), like several previous sword/gun combo weapons in the franchise.
- In fact, the props used are fully silver recolored versions of the Riotroopers' Axelayguns from Kamen Rider 555 with the front hand guard part of the handle removed.
- In early conception, Gamma Commando didn't have hoods.
