Summary
From the hidden corners of the world emerges another fanatical terrorist organisation: the Government of Darkness, commonly known as G.O.D. After the organisation targets his family, Daisuke Jin undergoes a cybernetic transformation devised by his father, becoming the next‑generation cyborg warrior Kai‑Zorg. With this procedure, he assumes the mantle of Kamen Rider X. G.O.D.’s leader, King Dark, does not anticipate the emergence of Kamen Rider X, whose intervention threatens the organisation’s ambitions of global domination and destruction.
Armed with the Ridol Stick and Ridol Whip, Kamen Rider X systematically defeats G.O.D.’s cyborg operatives, from Neptune to Chronos. His most formidable adversary, however, is Apollogeist, with whom he engages in a prolonged conflict spanning thirteen episodes.
Recognising the repeated failures of his cyborg soldiers, King Dark begins developing new combatants by combining human and animal traits, resulting in creations such as Starfish‑Hitler and Spider‑Napoleon. In the final episode, X discovers that King Dark was engineered by Dr. Jinno, a former colleague of his father. Jinno’s brain now resides within King Dark’s mechanical body, revealing the true nature of the organisation’s leader and the depth of its corruption.
