Line 37:
* [[Determinator]]: Minami Kotaro. The amount of sheer guts is so great, not even death can stop him. {{color|white|Literally}}
* [[Disney Villain Death]]: Kotaro's adoptive dad (and Nobuhiko's real dad) in the first episode lives just long enough to [[Died in Your Arms Tonight|Die In Kotaro's Arms]] after getting dropped from a broadcasting tower.
* [[Do -It -Yourself Theme Tune]]: Tetsuo Kurata does the opening of the show. Though it is [[Crowning Music of Awesome|great]], [[Your Mileage May Vary|opinions vary on how good he is as a singer]].
* [[Dub Name Change]]: The Filipino dub renamed Kotaro to Robert, and Nobuhiko to Stephen. They even shared the Akizuki surname, thus implying they are blood brothers.
** A variation: The stock transformation word "henshin" was changed to "Rider Change". Because Black became so popular among Filipinos, this was used in all other subsequently dubbed Kamen Rider series (even in [[Kamen Rider Hibiki]], whose Riders don't have transformation phrases).
Line 49:
* [[Finishing Move]]: Rider Kick. Of course
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: First Nobuhiko's father, then {{spoiler|the Whale Mutant from the final episodes}}.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [http://basrisite.webs.com/guests.htm Black is LOADED with some Toku actor guest stars]. You can spot [[Choujin Sentai Jetman|Emperor Tranza]] [Yutaka Hirose], [[Choudenshi Bioman|Shirou Gou/Red One]] [Ryosuke Sakamoto], [[Choujuu Sentai Liveman|Great Professor Bias]] [[[Joji Nakata]]], [[Kagaku Sentai Dynaman|Yousuke Shima/Dyna Blue]] [Koji Unogi], [[Dengeki Sentai Changeman|Sayaka Nagisa/Change Mermaid]] [Hiroko Nishomoto], [[Choushinsei Flashman|Lou/Pink Flash]] [Mayumi Yoshida] making cameos one at a time. And there's also an older [[Ultraman|Shin Hayata/Ultraman]] [Susumu Kurobe] as a short-time recurring villain. And in one of the movies, is the cameo by the man [[Shotaro Ishinomori]] himself.
** Not to mention the one that might have launched a thousand ''[[Pretty Cure]] / [[Kamen Rider]]'' fan art, [[Futari wa Pretty Cure|Cure Black]] appearing in an episode.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Shozo Iizuka]] voices Daromu. Plus [[Masaki Terasoma]] as Shadow Moon.
* [[Hot -Blooded]]
* [[Light'Em Up]]: Kingstone Flash.
* [[Knuckle -Cracking]]: A part of his Henshin sequence, may count as [[Nightmare Fuel]], as his monstrous grasshopper-man form was visible for a second, though not as much as [[Shin Kamen Rider]].
* [[Made of Iron]]: Kotaro. He has fought monsters while in human form, and did it well enough to avoid any injuries. However, there ''were'' the strength enhancements...
* [[Mook]]: The first one to avert this traditional trope for [[Kamen Rider]] franchise. Gorgom doesn't have mooks, just a lot of [[Monster of the Week]].
* [[Non -Serial Movie]]: Two theatrical movies were made. One set during the Birugenia episodes, while the second one is set during the Shadow Moon episodes.
* [[Odd Name Out]]: May or may not be deliberate, but in the beginning, we meet Kotaro, Kyoko, Katsumi, and ''Nobuhiko.'' The one ''without'' a K-name winds up {{spoiler|kidnapped, and after being MIA for 2/3 of the series, becomes Black's [[Evil Counterpart]] Shadow Moon.}}
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: {{spoiler|It appears that the High Priests will have to sacrifice their lives to complete Shadow Moon's transformation, but once he is at full strength, he saves them and upgrades them into stronger forms.}}
Line 72:
* [[This Is Unforgivable!]]: Kotaro says this so often, it's practically his second catchphrase.
* [[Two Guys and A 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").
