He was portrayed by Bunya Nakamura.
History[]
Kamen Rider V3[]
To bolster his power within Destron, Yoroi framed scientist Joji Yuki for treason and attempted to kill him by throwing him in acid. Yuki survived but at the cost of his arm. Yuki was later reconstructed as Riderman, causing Armor to fear his position in Destron was in jeopardy.
Armor later schemed to insert parasites into people to turn them into horrible monsters to attack the city and committing mass murder of many innocent people and to take Earth's gas.
He later sends his Kaijin Rhinoceros Tank, disguised as Santa Claus, to lure children into the House of Good Fortune so that they can be brainwashed and trained to be future Destron commandants. However, Rhinoceros Tank was defeated by the Kamen Rider V3.
When V3 infiltrated Destron's Tokyo outpost, Marshal Yoroi and Chameleon were waiting for him. He then became his Kaijin form Zariganna to fight Kamen Rider V3 himself. After being defeated by V3's V3 Full-Revolving Kick, he reverts back to his human form and retreats. However, he was killed soon after by the Destron Leader for failing defeat V3.
Kamen Rider Spirits[]
Marshal Yoroi was restored to a new Crab Inhumanoid body. With his newfound power, Yoroi began seeking to eliminate his former rival Riderman. He was ultimately destroyed by Riderman's Machine Gun Arm.
Powers and Abilities[]
Armor wields an oversized spiked mace in his left hand and is a user of dark magic. He is also capable of assuming his kaijin form Zariganna, which gives him increased fighting ability.
Why He's Pure Evil[]
- Framed Joji Yuki for treason to ensure his standing in Destron stayed secure, and tortured him by burning off his right arm with acid.
- Orchestrating an operation to wipe out the population of Tokyo using nerve gas.
- Kidnapped children to use as slave labor.
- Sent Vampire-Chameleon to drain the blood of children, even allowing it to kill his own men.
- Kidnapped a scientist and threatened his family to force him to build a nuclear bomb as part of a plan to blow up Tokyo. When the scientist helps V3 and Riderman, Yoroi kills him and hangs his body outside the base as a warning to whoever would defy Destron.
