The EP Party is a political party founded as a front for Gorgom and the main antagonists of episode 38 of Kamen Rider BLACK.
History[]
The EP Party was formed by politician and secret Gorgom member Ryuzaburo Sakata. Its purpose was to eliminate from society those Gorgom saw as undesirable and unfit to become Gorgom Mutants, in order to prepare Japan for Gorgom to take over and Shadow Moon to reveal himself to the world. An early member of the party was Koichi Omiya, a Gorgom member who headed a business conglomerate called the Omiya Konzern, who made donations to the party to support it. To further bolster the EP Party's membership, the Gorgom monster Rat Mutant had its spawn disguise themselves as members of the EP Party's Youth Division.
Gorgom at some point became aware of a machine that a scientist had developed to heal people, but which had a flaw in it that caused it to slowly kill those it was used on. Gorgom sought after the machine precisely for this flaw and obtained the blueprints for it before the scientist could destroy them, before having him assassinated. The EP Party then set up a hospital and constructed the machine there to covertly use it to kill off undesirables. However, Kotaro Minami was made aware of the EP Party's plan by the son of the scientist. With help from a resistance group opposed to EP, Kotaro was able to destroy the machine and defeat Rat Mutant.
However, the EP Party's crimes were never seen being exposed. It is unknown what became of them after.
