Gorgom



Gorgom (Japanese: ゴルゴム; ) is a fictional cult and criminal group in the TV series Kamen Rider Black.

Overview
A criminal group that is primarily based in Japan, the organization consists of both human and non-human members. Though Gorgom is a cult and a criminal group, they have also conducted some small scale terrorist activities in Japanese soil in the name of world domination.

History
The group has been ruled by an unknown Creation King (Sousei-Ou) for years. For every 50,000 years, Gorgom tradition states that 2 Creation King candidates must face one another in battle in order to find out who would lead the group for the next 50,000 years.

In order to do this, the cult has abducted Kotaro Minami and Nobuhiko Akizuki for the group to realize their objective, which is to place the entire Earth under their rule. The present Creation King gave Gorgom 2 Holy Kingstones. Both Kingstones were to be operated into Kotaro and Nobuhiko to fully changed them into Cyborgs. Kotaro possessed the 'Stone Of The Sun' while Nobuhiko possessed the 'Stone Of The Moon'. After the operation, both young men were officially called 'Century Kings' (Seiki-Ou). The main deal was to make both Century Kings fight each other. The winner would succeed the Creation King.

Kotaro, codenamed Black Sun, and Nobuhiko, codenamed Shadow Moon, were to fight with one another until one was victorious. However, Soichiro Akizuki interrupted the surgicial operation on his two sons. For his actions, 5 Kumo Kaijin (Spider Mutants) creatures were deployed by Gorgom to assassinate Soichiro for his supposed betrayal.

Until the entire group was destroyed, Gorgom's main objectives were to pacify Kotaro Minami and to forcefully retrieve his Kingstone (aka Stone of the Sun) and to bring Japan into chaos for them to rule over the country before going into a campaign of terror into other countries.
