KAMEN RIDER AMAZON
(Masked Rider Amazon)

(1974)

Kamen (masked) Riders are "kaizo ningen" (reconstructed humans or cyborgs) who take on some form of insect characteristics, except for Kamen Rider Amazon. The Garanda Empire brings out Gengoro - a water beetle juujin (beast-man) - to terrorize Tokyo by blowing up a fireworks factory and a gas station. Amazon races to the scene and defeats Gengoro, who flees from the battle. Back at Garanda's base, Emperor Zero is about to execute Gengoro for failure to kill Amazon, but Gengoro explains that he needs energy from sucking human blood, and he has targeted Amazon's friend Ritsuko as his blood source. With Gengoro fully revitalized, Amazon must stop the juujin from destroying a major oil plant and sending all of Tokyo in flames.
