Koumori Augment-01 (コウモリオーグ, Kōmoriōgu) is an Augment and also a Biochemical Research Chief created by Shocker and an antagonist of the 2023 film, Shin Kamen Rider.[1]
History[]
In the film, Koumori-Aug is first seen while immersing himself in his research as Ruriko appeared. The two exchange banter while Koumori-Aug revels in his Bat Virus Research despite it going against the late Professor Midorikawa’s wishes. As Ruriko held him at gunpoint and threatened to destroy his work, Koumori-Aug taunts her to do so as his work is already perfected. Suddenly, Ruriko loses consciousness after Koumori-Aug tapped his cane. Koumori-Aug then exclaimed that Ruriko's life is his to decide as he laughed maniacally.
Ruriko's kidnapping prompted Hongo to storm Koumori-Aug's base on his Cyclone, already transformed into Kamen Rider, in which Koumori-Aug himself waited there along with a numerous amount of his victims as he perched himself to the ceiling with his arms already mutated into a pair of giant wings akin to a real bat. Koumori-Aug then called Ruriko, revealing that she currently under the control of his bat virus while exchanging details about the history of epidemics with Hongo. To demonstrate the power of his virus, Koumori-Aug then proceed to order his victims (excluding Ruriko) to die, in which they complied almost immediately, much to Hongo's horror. Left with no other choice, Hongo decides to surrender himself to keep Ruriko safe, much to Koumori-Aug’s delight.
After Hongo cancelled his transformation and unmasked himself, Koumori-Aug then ordered Hongo to kill Ruriko with his own hands. However, Hongo refused such an order which confuses the Augment. Furthermore, Ruriko is shown to be perfectly fine. She was never infected in the first place thanks to a reprogramming device she carries that nullified the said virus, the ruse of her being under Koumori-Aug's control was to trick the latter into a false sense of security. Ruriko then proceeded to shoot one of Koumori-Aug's wings using her shotgun, thus prompting Koumori-Aug to flee from the scene.
As Koumori-Aug desperately tries to fly away, the now transformed Hongo gives chase to him by riding his Cyclone. Koumori-Aug proceeds to mock Hongo for his vain efforts to finish him off since his maximum jumping height is at 66.30 meters, while Koumori-Aug can fly higher than that. To Koumori-Aug’s disbelief, Hongo utilizes his Cyclone’s Rear Mufflers as VTOL Rocket Boosters to essentially take him to a higher altitude. As a result, Koumori-Aug is successfully struck by Hongo's Rider Kick. In his last moments before disintegrating into foam, Koumori-Aug could only question Hiroshi, asking why anyone didn't want to understand him.
