The Iron Ring Mask (鉄輪仮面 Tetsu Rin Kamen, 6) is a minor antagonist of Himitsu Sentai Gorenger, appearing in Episode 6 as the primary antagonist. He was a Robot/Tetsujin-themed Black Cross Army Masked Monster made up of stacked metal hoops.
He was voiced by Eisuke Yoda.
History[]
Iron Ring Mask led an operation in gaining secret access to an EAGLE base containing a microfilm that includes many EAGLE secrets, including base locations, projects and all known information about the Gorenger. Kaijo and Asuka pursue him, but he takes a houseboat hostage to save his life, while hiding from the two Gorenger by splitting into his iron rings and blending in.
After the Gorenger leave, Iron Ring Mask uses the telegraph on the boat to start reporting secrets to the Black Cross Fuhrer, leading to the destruction of multiple EAGLE bases, though the Fuhrer tells him to get the Gorenger secrets. Kaijo and Asuka return to the boat after witnessing the Black Cross' destruction and find Iron Ring Mask, while the other Gorenger catch up using Variblune. Iron Ring Mask tries to use a motorboat to escape, but the Gorenger hit him with Gorenger Storm from a distance, making both him and his escape boat explode.
Personality[]
This Masked Monster's personality is not significantly different from the personalities of other Masked Monsters, with the only difference being likely his modeus operandi, since he spied and tried to infiltrate the EAGLE's base and find out its secrets in order to bring them to his master Black Cross Fuhrer and help him in his plans of taking over the entire Earth and wiping out humanity. However, this masked monster also showed a somewhat cowardly side twice because he held a houseboat hostage in order to blackmail the Gorengers and when he saw that he lost and failed the mission tasked to him by his master, he tried to escape by using his motorboat.
