Baraomu

Baraomu (Takahashi Toshimichi) second of the Gorgom priests fired electric rays from his hands and light from his eyes.

Bishumu

Bishumu (Mei Hitomi) was Gorgom's priestess. Powerful rays came out of her eyes.


Birugenia

Birugenia (Toru Yoshida) wanted to be Gorgom's chief general. He was armed with a sword and shield. Later he took a second sword, the Satan Sword, which was meant for the next Creation King. He was killed by Shadow Moon who took the sword for his own use.

Shadow Moon Shadow Moon on Battlehopper

Shadow Moon does not awaken until episode 35. Shadow Moon's combat techniques were "Shadow Punch" and "Shadow Kick". He also had "Shadow Flash" which allowed him to take control of Battle Hopper. He could fire bolts of energy from his fists and from Satan Sword. The voice actor for Shadow Moon was Jisen Masanori. The in costume actor was Tokio Iwata.


Dr. Kuromatsu, Hideomi
