The story took place in a world plagued by Shocker, a mysterious terrorist organization. To assist its plan in world domination, Shocker recruited its agents through kidnapping, turning them into mutant cyborgs and, ultimately, brainwashing them. However, one of the victims was rescued just before the final step, and his name was Takeshi Hongo (本郷 猛, Hongō Takeshi). With his sanity and moral conscience remaining intact, Hongo assumed the identity of the grasshopper-looking altered human (改造人間, kaizō ningen) superhero Kamen Rider and battled Shocker with his newly acquired powers.

When world peace is threatened by the emergence of an international secret society of evil called the "Kuro Juujigun" (Black Cross Army/Black Crusaders), the United Nations sets up an "EAGLE" (EArth Guard LEague) (Kokusaiteki Heiwa Soushiki Iiguru) to combat the threat. This special army is distributed to various parts of the world (designated as "Blocks"). One of the largest "Blocks" is Japan.

The "Kuro Juujigun", fearful of this united threat against them, decides to launch a surprise attack against the Japan EAGLE Block and sends five of its most dangerous cyborg operatives to attack Japan's various EAGLE branches.

Across Japan the Kuro Juujigun decimates its targets, killing all those who oppose them. Yet from the ashes of these destroyed bases, five young recruits miraculously survive and vow vengeance. Given a special interlocking "key", the various survivors are summoned to snackshop "Gon", secret gateway to EAGLE Japan's main command center by Japan's EAGLE Commander Edogawa Kenpachi. There they are given special formfitting electronic battlesuits, which empower its wearer with various superhuman abilities. Edogawa tells them that they are the Secret Squadron "Goranger", the world's best chance against the forces of the Kuro Juujigun. Armed with these battlesuits and other special weapons created by EAGLE scientists, they extract their revenge upon the Kuro Juujigun operatives who killed their comrades and dedicate themselves to crushing the remaining forces of the Kuro Juujigun and its sinister leader Kuro Juuji Soutou (Black Cross Fuhrer/Generalissimo).

Ora bem, descobri Kamen Rider à uns tempos atrás quando me deparei com uma quantidade enorme de cosplays da série no 4chan (e por sinal bons, algo que infelizmente não costuma ser muito comum) e por isso, acabei por pesquisar mais quanto à série e acabei por ficar viciado na mesma. Os Gorangers entram por tabela, pois para além de serem os dinossauros (no pun intended) dos Power Rangers, o criador é o mesmo, Shotaro Ishinomori. É incrível ver o poder que esta série tem, mesmo após 11 anos parada, houve uma "ressurreição" em 2000 e a popularidade está novamente num pico altíssimo, tendo o ultimo filme de Kamen Rider ultrapassado Pokemon e Harry Potter na primeira semana.
Conheciam/conhecem estes heróis? Que acham dos mesmos?

PS: Gostei do pormenor dos veículos nos Gorangers.
