This article is about a monster in Kamen Rider, the original series. |
Pirazaurus (ピラザウルス, Pirazaurusu, 16 & 17) – A piranha-dinosaur monster.
The first Pirazaurus had the human guise of a bus driver, and after using his death gas ability to kill the people in a bus it was discovered his poison was so potent it killed him as well. Pirazaurus was a project from Shocker commander Maya (マヤ, Maya), and she quickly looked for a stronger person to be altered.
The second Pirazaurus was pro-wrestler Noboru Kusaka (草鹿昇, Kusaka Noboru). He was captured, brainwashed and had his body altered, becoming the perfect Pirazaurus. The new Pirazaurus was able to match and defeat Kamen Rider 2 with his Ultra Kick. Brainwashed, Kusaka returned to the wrestling world as Satan Mask and attacked his own brother when he tried to speak with him. He eventually faced Rider 2 in a wrestling ring. During the battle, he accidentally killed his commander Maya with his poisonous gas. At the end of episode 17, Kamen Rider 2 and Pirazaurus exchanged a Rider Kick and an Ultra Punch. Afterward, both fell on the ring and Kusaka returned to human form, recovering his memories.
Profile[]
The Pirazaurus (cyborg)'s main ability, engineered from the original Pirazaurus, was releasing a poisonous breath. Appearing as a powerful mist, the Pirazaurus' poison was said to be able to kill a dinosaur in seconds. During its test run, the poison of the Pirazaurus (cyborg) was able to kill a bus full of humans, however, the poison was so potent it resulted in the Pirazaurus (cyborg) dying immediately after, thus a stronger human was needed to be modified. The second Pirazaurus, Noboru Kusaka, had an unbelievably strong body, able to shrug off rounds of a cannon, and special techniques called Ultra Punch and Ultra Kick, similar to the Rider Punch and Rider Kick.
