- "Oh man! He got my Immortality Circuit! Damn!"
- ―Poison Gas's final words before his death[src]
Poison Gas Mask (毒ガス仮面 Doku Gasu Kamen, 1, 4, 5) was the last of the original five Black Cross Crusade Monsters.
History[]
During the initial attack of the Black Cross Army against the Japanese EAGLE bases, Poison Gas Mask attacked the Kansai branch, killing everyone with Kenji Asuka the only survivor of the attack. TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Crimson Sun! The Invincible Gorengers
Poison Gas Mask's scheme is to use an underground gas factory to create his poison gas for hurting people. Tsuyoshi and Kenji discover the factory but the Masked Monster avoid their attack outside one slight hit from Akarenger's Red Bute that hits his helmet, using that as an excuse to further develop his "immortality". Kenji becomes obsessed in defeating Poison Gas Mask, who further riles him up by attacking the spies and then sneaking into Snack Gon to investigate. Midorenger challenges him and loses due to his immortality ability, torturing him until he forces the other Gorengers to save him. In a final showdown, Kenji discovers the trick to Poison Gas Mask's ability, flipping nimbly until he finally hits him from behind with a Midomerang. Disoriented, Poison Gas Mask is easily dispatched by a Gorenger Storm. TV STORY-Ep. 5: Green Anger, Immortal Gas-Person
