Synopsis[]

In a dark alley in New York City, A strange person was running from a monster. Unable to remember anything, he was attacked by someone. Meanwhile in another part of the town, a news crew investigates about monsters below the city.

They meet the monster and before they know anything, a giant crocodile attacks and they encounter a man, a dark-looking man carrying someone.

Trying to save the man, Sam attacks that person. But before understanding anything, they caught up in a real mess and Sam died when he was attacked by the monster. That big man showed up from the water and attacked everyone. When Keith tries to help the mysterious man, a crocodile attacks and brings the man into the water.

The monster doesn't seem to let anyone escape and attacks them, not realizing that something is showing up and attacking him. This makes Keith and Jack escape the scene. In their run, they meet the mysterious man whose name was Kotaro Minami from Japan. But he doesn't remember anything unless he was brought into a strange place that brainwashed him.

They then meet the monster. In that moment, Kotaro transforms into a monster and attacks another monster. Both collapse the place and Kotaro saves the TV crew. But the news about this is hidden away. Now Jack and Keith, with help of Kotaro, have a journey to discover Kotaro's memories and an organization behind this monster.

Notes[]

  • This manga also crossed over with Ishinomori's manga, HOTEL.
  • Kohtaro's birth parents' name was revealed in this manga: Masato Minami (南光 雲, Minami Un) and Tomoko Minami (南光 トモコ, Minami Tomoko).
  • Manga Black has powers not featured in the TV series. In chapter 10 of volume 4, Kohtaro can be seen practicing a form of psychic control over an alley cat. He states he can see the life energy of any living being while he is transformed, and by focusing his own energy and affixing it onto a living body he can make it unconscious or if he focuses harder, kill it. The result of this power creates a gust of wind. Kohtaro states "this gust is a result of the movement of energy which then changes the magnetic field, shifting the air, which creates wind. once energy passes through, it moves and produces ions".
  • The manga was seen in the first episode of Kamen Rider Black RX when Shigeru was reading it in a issue of a magazine.
