[edit] Bio

It is the underbelly of the Kirihara Konzern Corporation located at Shinjuku, it covertly controls all activities of the world's criminal organizations, terrorists, finances, etc. The Neros Empire's goal is world domination, with economic and military might. They all meet at the Ghost Bank, a ring of gates containing key army officers surrounding Godneros' throne. The area enclosed by the gates and throne served as both an arena and as a strategy room.

[edit] Members

• Emperor Godneros: The leader of the Neros Empire, formerly Technical Major Muraki, assistant to Dr. Koga in developing the Super Machine project. Testing on prisoners of war led to Muraki's arrest and supposed execution, but he managed to escape his execution and retreated to America. There, he joined criminal syndicates, eventually destroying them and making off with their riches. In addition, he underwent plastic surgery to alter his looks entirely, making himself appear much more youthful than he really is. From then on, he built the Kirihara Konzern under the name Gozou Kirihara. As far as the public knows, Gozou is a philanthropist at the head of an international financial empire. He had Coolgin switch places with him, faking his death and managed to kill Topgunder. Godneros was beheaded at the end of the series by Metalder.

• Secretaries K and S: Gozou's spies.

• Victorious Saint Coolgin: Godneros' right hand, a first-class strategist and swordsman. Defeated Metalder instantly with one sword attack in their first confrontation. Underneath his mask, he looks exactly like Kirihara; the purpose is so he can be Godneros' shadow, to create confusion. Eventually, Godneros uses Coolgin as a double to fake his own death when the Ghostbank self-destructed, Metalder believed he defeated Godneros, when it is really the Coolgin lookalike standing in for him.

BenK had the advantage with his mighty hammer, but Metalder just enough power to destroy BenK's helmet. However, despite Metalder's wish to kill him, he spared BenK's life upon realizing he was a human. After that, BenK left the Empire.
