An evil cult named "Gorgom", consisting of [[Two Guys and Aa Girl]] in white capes and robes: Darom, Baraom and Bishium. They intend to choose a new boss- known as the Creation King- by capturing two chosen humans, implanting them with two [[Artifact of Doom|powerful artifacts]] called Kingstones, and having them [[There Can Be Only One|fight to the death]]. The winner will become the new Creation King, and together with Gorgom they'll [[Take Over the World]].
 
Gorgom recruited many famous and intelligent people, promising them power. And the two [[Sarcasm Mode|lucky brothers]] to be chosen for this project- thanks to the fact that they were born during a solar eclipse- are Kotaro Minami and Nobuhiko Akizuki.

=== Tropes associated with Black: ===
* [[Anti-Anti-Christ]]: Black himself.
* [[As Long Asas There Is Evil]]: {{spoiler|Delivered by the Creation King during the final episode. [[Signature Style|It's kind of a thing with]] [[Shotaro Ishinomori|Ishinomori]].}}
* [[Badass]]: Black is one of the most notable examples in the franchise, as he dares to go toe-to-toe with the [[Monster of the Week]] in human form, and did it pretty well at that.
* [[Badass Biker]]: Who else?
Line 32:
* [[Crossover]]: Averted in the series. ''Black'' was the first ''Rider'' series since ''[[Kamen Rider Amazon]]'' where the main hero did not team up with any of his predecessors.<ref>''[[Kamen Rider Super-1]]'' had a team-up in its movie version.</ref> In fact, it was the first ''Rider'' sequel where they did not reference any of the previous Kamen Riders at all, as Amazon's name was given to him by a kid who knew the other Riders. However, Black did get a crossover with his future self in the 3D short film ''Run All Over the World'', as well as with other Riders in ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]]''.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Not just on the name. Black is the designated 'Black Sun', soon to be the leader of Gorgom and destroy the world. He's the good guy, through and through.
* [[Deal Withwith the Devil]]: Gorgom's modus operandi to many influential people in the beginning.
* [[Depending Onon the Writer]]: in some episodes, the Gorgom leaders treat the Mutants with reverence, referring to them as "Lord Mutant Name Here" and calling them "beloved." In others they treat them as expendable slaves.
** That just applies to the humans following Gorgom, the priests has got to keep up a good public appearance to appease them.
* [[Determinator]]: Minami Kotaro. The amount of sheer guts is so great, not even death can stop him. {{color|white|Literally}}
Line 71:
* [[There Can Be Only One]]: the concept of being Gorgom leader.
* [[This Is Unforgivable!]]: Kotaro says this so often, it's practically his second catchphrase.
* [[Two Guys and Aa Girl]]: The main Gorgom priests.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Episode 47. {{spoiler|Shadow Moon ''wins'' and actually ''kills'' Kamen Rider Black ([[Only Mostly Dead|sort of]]). Even if it's temporarily, still...just...DAY-UMN.}}
* [[Working Title]]: Ishinomori's proposal for this series was originally titled ''Kamen Rider Zero-Gō'' ("No. 0").
