Bandai's premium collector line for adult fans, COMPLETE SELECTION MODIFICATION (CSM), has just unveiled its latest release from the world of "Kamen Rider Kuuga": the villainous "Gurongi Belt GEDORUDO", slated for a November 2026 release.
The series' antagonists, the "Gurongi," are an ancient, warlike tribe who possess the ability to transform into monstrous forms and revel in the slaughter of other races. After being sealed away by the original Kuuga during their invasion of the peaceful Linto Kingdom, they were accidentally unsealed in the year 2000. The Gurongi society is structured into multiple tiers, led by the formidable N-Daguva-Zeba. Their "GEDORUDO" belts not only signify their rank through different designs but also contain a magic stone that enables their transformation, granting them the powers of various animals and plants.
This brutal tribe engages in a ritualistic killing game known as the "Gegeru." For each round, a single Gurongi is chosen to hunt humans, with a specific kill count and time limit determined by their rank. Success offers the chance for promotion, while failure or breaking the rules means certain death. The game's referee, Ra-Baruba-De, uses a special ring to implant sealing energy into the challenger's belt. This energy triggers a built-in self-destruct mechanism if the Gurongi fails their mission or is struck by one of Kuuga's finishing moves.
The "CSM Gurongi Belt GEDORUDO" is designed to be in-scale with the separately sold CSM Arcle, Kuuga's transformation belt. It faithfully replicates the prop's intricate, almost hand-woven texture. The central buckle is the main event, with five interchangeable plates representing the different Gurongi groups, each featuring a unique color scheme and a detailed, weathered paint finish. The set also includes both the early and late-game versions of the "Gegeru Ring," along with an insert to help adjust the belt for smaller waist sizes.
Once a buckle is attached, the belt automatically recognizes which Gurongi group it belongs to. Three buttons on the top of the belt activate corresponding transformation sounds, combat effects, character dialogue, and background music from the show. Bringing one of the two magnet-equipped "Gegeru Rings" near the buckle will trigger a special "game start" sound effect. The sound library is extensive, featuring approximately 160 lines of dialogue from 11 different characters in both the Gurongi and Linto languages. It also includes 6 BGM tracks, such as "Evil ~ Group," "Investigation ~ Tension," and the "Blizzard Sound Effect" from episode 48.
