Ep 1 | Kamen Rider Black

The wind howled across the desolate coastline of Kyushu. Two young men, Kotaro Minami and his sworn brother Nobuhiko Akizuki, stood trapped inside a sterile, white chamber hidden within a secret Gorgom base. They weren't prisoners in the traditional sense. They were offerings.

A violent wind swirls around him. His body is engulfed in a black, crackling energy. His clothes dissolve, replaced by a suit of living, organic armor—jet black with silver highlights, a crimson belt buckle shaped like a locust’s eye, and a helmet with compound insect eyes that glowed with a fierce, green light.

He didn’t look back. He left Nobuhiko behind.

Kotaro and Nobuhiko had been kidnapped on their 19th birthday, not by chance, but by a dark prophecy. The ancient, sinister cult known as Gorgom, an organization that secretly ruled the world from the shadows, had chosen them as the final two candidates to become the next Creation King. The ritual was brutal: one would be surgically altered into the invincible creation king, a living god of darkness. The other… would be disposed of.

It is Nobuhiko. Shadow Moon.
