"Our invasion is all that is left...There will be no resistance! Attack, kill, plunder! Our motto is destroy and slaughter. After we completely destroy the nations's society...we can begin the world of our Black Cross Army."
―The Black Cross Führer rallying his subordinates.[src]

"I'm the Machine Emperor. I'm eternal. Look!"
―The Black Cross Führer before he transforms into Black Cross Castle and final words before his death.[src]

"I'm the leader of Black Cross Army, Black Cross King. I'll conquer the Earth once more to exterminate Super Sentai and sink them to the Hell."
―The Black Cross Führer's first words after being revived.[src]

"Attention, Earthlings! My name is Black Cross King. I'm the reincarnation of Black Cross Führer, who was defeated by Gorengers. I will give the announcement for all the Super Sentai who are protecting the Earth. And the unimportant Super Sentai powers. Now your revenge will come! From 35 Super Sentai, I'm already have 33 powers, and soon the power of Goseigers and Gokaigers will be mine! No one can protect the Earth, your planet history will be end, and the Super Sentai power will be weaken into the fear!"
―The Black Cross Führer when introducing himself to the entire Earth population.[src]

"I'm impressed that you the Pirates and Angels can survive. Now the real revenge! First, you will the first victim. Now you will face the Super Sentai joint power!"
―The Black Cross Führer when confronting Goseigers and Gokaigers.[src]

"The Pirates and the Angels, you're so great. But your power will no longer be able to fight against me! Now ready to die in my hands! DIE!!! How pathetic you are! I'll destroy all of you and no more Super Sentai!"
―The Black Cross Führer reacts after both Goseigers and Gokaigers defeats his personal army.[src]

"Damn you! What?!"
―The Black Cross Führer's supposed final words before his death by Super Sentai Bazooka.[src]

"I'll won't lose only because your attack! This is my true form, Black Cross Colossus!"
―The Black Cross Führer (as Black Cross Colossus) after being revived once more and showing his true form by enlarging himself.[src]

"Damn you, damn you, Super Sentai!"
―The Black Cross Führer (as Black Colossus King) reacts after his servants were destroyed.[src]

"How?! How can I be defeated?! I was born out of years of grudge! How?!"
―The Black Cross Führer (as Black Cross Colossus)'s final words before his permanent death.[src]

The Black Cross Führer (黒十字総統 Kuro Jūji Sōtō), sometimes referred to as the "Machine Monster/Emperor" for his seeming invincible nature and later referred to as the Black Cross King (黒十字王 Kuro Jūji Ō) after his resurrection, was the supreme leader of the Black Cross Army and the main antagonist of Himitsu Sentai Gorenger and the Super Sentai 35th Anniversary film Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle.

History[]

Past[]

The Black Cross Führer is an alien being who came to Earth from a star within the vicinity of the constellation Cassiopeia. His purpose on Earth was to conquer it, having created the Black Cross Army with minions and Masked Monster androids, for this goal and purpose.

Gorenger[]

The Black Cross Fuhrer's different appearances in Gorenger.

The Black Cross King initially leads attacks in secret through wearing a cloaked white hood from the initial attacks until the arrival of Volcano Mask General Magman, when he reveals his true form. The Black Cross Fuhrer usually holds back within the Black Cross' headquarters, leading the Masked Monsters and hearing of their schemes, or later hearing the schemes and aspirations of the generals who work for the Black Cross on his global conquering campaign. Prior to this, the Gorenger and even Commander Gonpachi Edogawa attempt to find out what he really is without any success. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 37: A Pure White Flash! The Black Cross Führer's True Form

Originally he is extremely deadpan in his presentation but later he shows more expression when speaking with his leaders, particularly Commander-in-Chief Golden Mask who is his most loyal follower. While he appears to be masculine, the Fuhrer is a master of disguise, even appearing once as a bilingual woman in order to lure the Gorenger away to prevent them from stopping a plot to invade the Japanese island of Shikoku. Tvicon TV STORY-Himitsu Sentai Gorenger: The Bomb Hurricane

Whilst underground or hidden in another base like Magman's Navarone fortress early in the series, he eventually reveals the powerful flying craft known as the Black Cross Castle which he and Golden Mask use on occasion to launch powerful attacks against the Gorenger and Japan from the skies. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 64: Blue UFO!! The Space Army's Big Invasion

During an astrological phenomenon revealed by Golden Mask where the constellation of Cassiopeia enters the house of Scorpio which weakens the Führer, the leader finally decides to face the Gorengers to eliminate their threat once and for all. He proves himself to be invulnerable and invincible to the heroes, easily crushing them and preparing to kill Tsuyoshi before the effects of Cassiopeia in Scorpio weaken him and force him to withdraw whilst using the final sacrifice of his most loyal general to carpet-bomb Tokyo and destroy the Gorenger's headquarters. On discovering this weakness, Tsuyoshi Kaijo decides to confront the Führer with nothing more than a simple suitcase in appearance of a final surrender before the team and the world are crushed. When the leader opens the suitcase to see what was inside it, it reveals five diodes in the shape of the constellation, making the Führer weakened. The Gorenger use this to launch a final assault, creating a Gorenger Hurricane which formed into a flaming version of the Casseiopeia constellation that hits the Black Cross leader and forces him to retreat. However when he returns to where he was hidden, he suddenly transforms into the Black Cross Castle, revealing himself as the massive flying headquarters all along. With the Fuhrer at his weakest, the Gorenger launch a final assault, sacrificing Varidreen and the New Gorenger Machines to blow up the castle whilst they all escape with their Birdies. The castle is torn apart in mid-air, bringing an end to the Black Cross Führer and his Black Cross Army once and for all. Tvicon TV STORY-Final Ep.: Great Crimson Victory!! Shine Forever, Five Stars

The Black Cross Führer is one of several past Super Sentai villains that appear in clips in the anniversary special Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai.

199 Hero Great Battle[]

Forty years later, the Black Cross Fuhrer resurrects himself using the hatred of defeated Super Sentai villains and forms an alliance with the Space Empire Zangyack in order to have his revenge on all Sentai and those who support them. He also revives several of the Sentai warriors' enemies, Brajira, Yogoshimacritein, and Dagon, to battle against the Gokaigers and Goseigers. He gets his hands on the Ranger Keys of the past 33 Sentai teams and uses it to turn the Super Sentai into his personal army to annihilate them. After the Ranger Keys are recovered, he grew into a giant only to be defeated by the Super Sentai Bazooka created by the spirit of all the Super Sentai teams. However, he reveals himself to be his true fortress monster form, the Black Cross Colossus which is an enhanced version of his castle form. He easily overpowers GokaiOh, Gosei Great and Gosei Ground in this form. However the spirits of the past 33 giant mecha appear to fight him and his revived servants. After the Gokaigers are given the Gorenger's Greater Power in the form of the Variblune, they combine GokaiOh and Variblune to create Goren GokaiOh which leads to Black Cross Colossus' destruction thanks to the Gokai Hurricane Cassiopeia. All that the Black Cross Collosus can do is express horror at his defeat despite being made by all the hatred before being obliterated.

The High School Heroes[]

Personality[]

The Black Cross Führer is a cruel and ruthless entity whose goal is to conquer the Earth, he shows little to no compassion for anyone and doesn’t care much for his servants, specifically his generals and other minions as he doesn’t mourn their deaths when they die. He has a very low tolerance for failure or even betrayal as he’s quick to have the ones who crossed him killed. When he returns in Gokaiger, The Führer is at his evilest where he attempts to kill all the Super Sentai in existence along with their allies by reviving deceased villains who have grudges against them, he also doesn’t care what his allies do as he told the Zangyack that he’d let them conquer Earth as long as he’s the one who kills the Gokaigers and all other Sentai.

  • Unnamed Cannon-like object: When the Black Cross King returned, he had a massive weapon that he used to summon his Ranger Key Clones. It works in a similiar way to Basco's Rapparatta trumpet, but it does not have Ranger Key slots. Instead, it has an opening on the back of it that allows the Black Cross King to put the Ranger Keys in like bullets and shoots them.

In the out-of-continuity Super Hero Taisen Otsu net movie, the Black Cross King, as the "King of Terror", used the same cannon to destroy the Earth, leaving the world in ruins.

Notes[]

  • The Black Cross Führer is notable for being the original Sentai "big bad", being the boss villain of the first Sentai series, Himitsu Sentai Gorenger. From this, the Black Cross Führer could be considered as Super Sentai's answer to Sosai X from the original Gatchaman series. although his first two initial appearances strongly resembles the Great Leader of Shocker in the original Kamen Rider series, specifically, his Delza form from Kamen Rider Stronger, and even his original form, albeit colored white instead of red and with a slightly different headpiece.
  • His Black Cross King form was not adapted to Power Rangers.
