The Witch Mask (魔女仮面 Majo Kamen, 9) is a Black Cross Army Masked Monster and the primary antagonist of the Episode 9 of Himitsu Sentai Gorenger.
She was voiced by Hisako Kyōda who later voiced as Devil Amazon, Atomic Witch, Pierrot Brain, Sigh Bōma and 9-Tailed Kitsune.
History[]
Witch Mask headed a scheme to capture a freeze beam developed by EAGLE that was being guarded by Shinmei and Ooiwa for the Black Cross Army. She and a squad of Zolders captured the beam, killing many EAGLE soldiers while eluding the two Gorengers in the process. When Kirenger tries to pursue her, she ends up capturing him while Shinmei's initial strategy to save both ends up in failure, forcing a retreat by Variblune.
Kaijo ends up coming to Ooiwa's rescue, disguising himself as a Zolder and having Ooiwa make himself look like Witch Mask in order to confuse a squad of Zolders into which was real. While it works, she ends up capturing both until Shinmei returns, this time with Peggy and Kenji, using the blue smoke of Variblune to escape to elude various Black Cross weapons to allow for them to wear them down before Aorenger recaptures the freeze ray. The five then finally finish Witch Mask off with Gorenger Storm.
Personality[]
Her personality is in fact nothing different than personalities of other Masked Monsters, being completely and undeniably loyal to Black Cross Fuhrer and loyally enforcing her master's orders of taking over the Earth and destroying the Gorengers.
