"Is it the time for me to retire at last? Farewell!"
―Final words before his death.[src]

Baseball Mask (野球仮面 Yakyū Kamen) is the last of Volcano Mask Magman's Masked Monsters of the Black Cross Army.

History[]

Gorenger[]

Nicknamed "The Red Home Run King" due to his abilities with his red bat, Baseball Mask was recruited by Magman and the Black Cross Führer to save their scientist Doctor Shinigami after the Gorengers apprehend him to prevent him from developing his deadly "Ball Bombs" (ball-shaped bombs with mini bombs to kills anyone hit beyond the initial explosion). Arriving at an EAGLE storage facility, Baseball Mask hits a ball to the scientist containing a pill that kills him, forcing them to send him away for autopsy and allowing for the Masked Monster and his baseball-playing Zolders to regain him. When the Gorenger try to use Gorenger Hurricane against him in the form of a straight pitch, he knocks it back five times hitting all the Gorenger before escaping with the scientist who is ultimately revived keeping with his name.

After bringing back Doctor Shinigami, Baseball Mask protects him for the development of his Ball Bombs, but slowly grows angry at him after he kills his initial Zolder team to test the bomb out, even at the guarantee of having a new Zolder team set up for him. As Shinigami tries to set up a remote version of his Ball Bombs, Tsuyoshi infiltrates and destroys the device forcing out both the doctor and the Masked Monster. After Baseball Mask's bat is slashed by Momorenger's Momo Cards, he becomes even more angered by Doctor Shinigami shooting his prized weapon, allowing his Zolder team to kill him with no complaint.

When facing the Gorenger again with their Gorenger Hurricane, the team decides to use a different strategy: instead of directly throwing a baseball at him, they set him up with a special maneuver, with Momorenger making a ball, throwing it first to Midorenger, who then throws it to Kirenger (who plays catcher for the maneuver) to make a strike; then Daita throwing to Aorenger who throws another strike to Kirenger; then back to Akarenger who throws the final ball but uses an auto controller to confuse Baseball Mask to the point of dizziness with a whirling ball; as he finally collapses, the ball lands on him finally finishing him off.

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger The Movie: The Flying Ghost Ship[]

Baseball Mask appeared in a pocket dimension of the Ghost Ship many years later. He challenges the Gokaigers to a baseball match, saying he'll let them leave if they beat him in a game. The Gokaigers Gokai Change into the Gorengers and manage to win, with the third strike being a cheat, distracting Baseball Mask with a simulacrum of the G3 Princess.

He would later return as one of the villains who would serve as a member of Asmodeus' army. Baseball Mask would survive long enough to see his master’s plans seemingly come to fruition until Touma Kamiyama had managed to help Shotaro himself regain his passion for drawing out superheroes which had, in turn, revived all of the Kamen Riders and the Super Sentai teams back into existence. Ultimately, the entire army itself would be wiped out by the full and combined might of Kamen Rider Saber as well as his fellow swordsmen and the Zenkaigers along with Twokaizer while being supported by each and every one of the Kamen Riders that came before Kamen Rider Saber as well as each and every one of the Sentai Red rangers who were the leaders of their respective Sentai teams that came before the Zenkaigers.

In his original appearance in episode 53 of Gorenger, he was voiced by the late Ichirō Nagai (永井 一郎 Nagai Ichirō). In the next series, J.A.K.Q.

However, in Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen, Baseball Mask was voiced by Hideyuki Hori (堀 秀行 Hori Hideyuki), who previously voiced Zubaan in GoGo Sentai Boukenger and also voiced Baseball Mask's master, the Black Cross King, in the same movie.

In Ame Talk talk show, he was voiced by Tomokazu Seki (関 智一 Seki Tomokazu) , who previously voiced Mepple in Futari wa Pretty Cure, Buldont in Choriki Sentai Ohranger and the Narrator and the voice of the Gokaigers' equipment in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, Gaisoulg and the voice of Ryusoulgers' equipment in Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger, and the voice of the Geardalinger in Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger.
