High Priestess Bishium ( 大神官ビシュム , Daishinkan Bishumu , 1-36) is a High Priestess having her face is divided between black and white, and a clear film covers most of her face. She can discharge laser beams from her eyes. After sacrificing her "Stone of Earth" to revive Shadow Moon, Bishium

9000-405: The Rider Kick. Darom is voiced by Shōzō Iizuka ( 飯塚 昭三 , Iizuka Shōzō ) . High Priest Baraom ( 大神官バラオム , Daishinkan Baraomu , 1-36) is one of the High Priests and has a stone-like green face. Baraom can discharge deadly laser beams from his robotic hands. He is usually in charge of the deployment of Gorgom's Mutants. After sacrificing his "Stone of Ocean" to revive Shadow Moon, Baraom

9125-724: The Sudanese government's war in the South during the early 1980s, and in return, he was allowed to use the Darfur region as a " back door to Chad ". As a result, the first signs of an "Arab racist political platform" appeared in Darfur in the early 1980s. In Asia , Indians in ancient India considered all foreigners barbarians . The Muslim scholar Al-Biruni wrote that the Indians called foreigners impure. A few centuries later, Dubois observes that "Hindus look upon Europeans as barbarians totally ignorant of all principles of honour and good breeding... In

9250-468: The battle field to determine who will become his successor. After Shadow Moon was ultimately defeated, Black confronted the Creation King who threatened him to take the Kingstone from Shadow Moon's body unless he wants the Creation King to jump into the hole he created to lead him to the Earth's core and destroy it from within. The Creation King was killed by Black when the Satan Saber was stabbed into him. In

9375-857: The belief that the Jewish people are God's chosen people and racially superior to non-Jews, and mentor Noahides because they believe that the Messianic era will begin with the rebuilding of the Third Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem to re-institute the Jewish priesthood along with the practice of ritual sacrifices , and the establishment of a Jewish theocracy in Israel, supported by communities of Noahides. David Novak , professor of Jewish theology and ethics at

9500-645: The building was for a while the headquarters of the Guardian Royal Exchange , but the company declined to use the symbol for fear of confusion with the locust. Grasshoppers appearing in dreams have been interpreted as symbols of "Freedom, independence, spiritual enlightenment, inability to settle down or commit to decision". Locusts are taken literally to mean devastation of crops in the case of farmers; figuratively as "wicked men and women" for non-farmers; and "Extravagance, misfortune, & ephemeral happiness" by "gypsies". Supremacist Supremacism

9625-401: The chameleon grasshopper ( Kosciuscola tristis ), where males may fight on top of ovipositing females; engaging in leg grappling, biting, kicking and mounting. The newly emerged female grasshopper has a preoviposition period of a week or two while she increases in weight and her eggs mature. After mating, the female of most species digs a hole with her ovipositor and lays a batch of eggs in

9750-559: The court of Pontius Pilate where Jesus was sentenced to death: "A very learned Jew, who in our day has been converted to the (Christian) faith, informs us that one enjoying the reputation of a prophet among them, toward the close of his life, made the following prediction: 'Be assured that relief from this secret ailment, to which you are exposed, can only be obtained through Christian blood ("solo sanguine Christiano")." The Atlantic slave trade has also been partially attributed to Christian supremacism. The Ku Klux Klan has been described as

9875-423: The defeated Century King's King Stone and become the succeeding Creation King. In the series reboot, Kamen Rider Black Sun , the Gorgom Party ( ゴルゴム党 , Gorugomu-tō ) was originally a minority movement during the 70s that sought for their fellow Kaijins to have the right to exist, before ending up a shadowy influential institution in bed with corrupt government officials while seeking the continued existence of

10000-599: The elastic structures, rather than by further shortening of the extensor muscle. In this way the stiff cuticle acts like the elastic of a catapult , or the bow of a bow-and-arrow. Energy is put into the store at low power by slow but strong muscle contraction, and retrieved from the store at high power by rapid relaxation of the mechanical elastic structures. Male grasshoppers spend much of the day stridulating , singing more actively under optimal conditions and being more subdued when conditions are adverse; females also stridulate, but their efforts are insignificant when compared to

10125-422: The escape jump in particular there is strong selective pressure to maximize take-off velocity, since this determines the range. This means that the legs must thrust against the ground with both high force and a high velocity of movement. A fundamental property of muscle is that it cannot contract with high force and high velocity at the same time. Grasshoppers overcome this by using a catapult mechanism to amplify

10250-490: The ex-Shonen Warriors until Kotaro arrives and fights Darom until Shadow Moon arrives, killing Black and sending Darom to find his corpse to obtain the King Stone. Darom finds the Kujira Mutant's cave and learns that Kotaro had been revived. Darom and the Komori Mutant then had some Gorgom worshippers capture the Kujira Mutant as bait for Kotaro. After Black threw himself in front of the Kujira Mutant, he then used his King Stone Flash to deflect Darom's attack before killing him with

10375-553: The eyes of a Hindu, a Pariah ( outcaste ) and a European are on the same level." The Chinese considered the Europeans repulsive, ghost-like creatures, and they even considered them devils. Chinese writers also referred to foreigners as barbarians. Academics Carol Lansing and Edward D. English argue that Christian supremacism was a motivation for the Crusades in the Holy Land , as well as

10500-631: The fall of the ancien régime in France on racial intermixing , which he believed had destroyed the purity of the Nordic race . Gobineau's theories, which attracted a large and strong following in Germany, emphasized the belief in the existence of an irreconcilable polarity between Aryan and Jewish cultures . Cornel West , an African-American philosopher, writes that black supremacist religious views arose in America as

10625-533: The family Acrididae. Swarming behaviour is a response to overcrowding. Increased tactile stimulation of the hind legs causes an increase in levels of serotonin . This causes the grasshopper to change colour, feed more and breed faster. The transformation of a solitary individual into a swarming one is induced by several contacts per minute over a short period. Following this transformation, under suitable conditions dense nomadic bands of flightless nymphs known as "hoppers" can occur, producing pheromones which attract

10750-434: The first of which is fused to the thorax and contains the tympanal organ and hearing system. Segments two to eight are ring-shaped and joined by flexible membranes. Segments nine to eleven are reduced in size; segment nine bears a pair of cerci and segments ten and eleven have the reproductive organs. Female grasshoppers are normally larger than males , with short ovipositors. The name of the suborder "Caelifera" comes from

10875-404: The front end of the abdomen there is a pair of tympanal organs for sound reception. There are numerous fine hairs ( setae ) covering the whole body that act as mechanoreceptors (touch and wind sensors), and these are most dense on the antennae, the palps (part of the mouth), and on the cerci at the tip of the abdomen. There are special receptors ( campaniform sensillae ) embedded in the cuticle of

11000-471: The fungal spores liberated from the corpse. The fungal pathogen Metarhizium acridum is found in Africa, Australia and Brazil where it has caused epizootics in grasshoppers. It is being investigated for possible use as a microbial insecticide for locust control. The microsporidian fungus Nosema locustae , once considered to be a protozoan, can be lethal to grasshoppers. It has to be consumed by mouth and

11125-474: The gallery curator Betsy Wieseman, with other invertebrates including a spider, an ant, and two caterpillars. Grasshoppers are also featured in cinema. The 1957 film Beginning of the End portrayed giant grasshoppers attacking Chicago . In the 1998 Disney / Pixar animated film A Bug's Life , the antagonists are a gang of grasshoppers, with their leader Hopper serving as the main villain. The protagonists of

11250-688: The greatest benefit to "inferior" native peoples. However, even at the time of its publication in 1849, Carlyle's main work on the subject, the Occasional Discourse on the Negro Question , was poorly received by his contemporaries. Before the outbreak of the American Civil War , the Confederate States of America was founded with a constitution that contained clauses which restricted the government's ability to limit or interfere with

11375-403: The highest race which is the "Aryan white race, dolichocephalic", and ending with the lowest race which is the "brachycephalic", "mediocre and inert" race, that race is best represented by Southern European , Catholic peasants". Between these, Vacher de Lapouge identified the " Homo europaeus " ( Teutonic , Protestant , etc.), the " Homo alpinus " ( Auvergnat , Turkish , etc.), and finally

11500-558: The hooded leaf grasshopper Phyllochoreia ramakrishnai (Eumastacoidea) are detailed mimics of leaves. Stick grasshoppers (Proscopiidae) mimic wooden sticks in form and coloration. Grasshoppers often have deimatic patterns on their wings, giving a sudden flash of bright colours that may startle predators long enough to give time to escape in a combination of jump and flight. Some species are genuinely aposematic , having both bright warning coloration and sufficient toxicity to dissuade predators. Dictyophorus productus (Pyrgomorphidae)

11625-431: The insects to each other. With several generations in a year, the locust population can build up from localised groups into vast accumulations of flying insects known as plagues, devouring all the vegetation they encounter. The largest recorded locust swarm was one formed by the now-extinct Rocky Mountain locust in 1875; the swarm was 1,800 miles (2,900 km) long and 110 miles (180 km) wide, and one estimate puts

11750-895: The institution of "negro" slavery. In the Cornerstone Speech , Confederate vice president Alexander Stephens declared that one of the Confederacy's foundational tenets was white supremacy over black slaves. Following the war, a secret society, the Ku Klux Klan , was founded in the American South . Its purpose was to maintain white, Protestant supremacy in the US after the Reconstruction period, which it did so through violence and intimidation. According to William Nichols, religious antisemitism can be distinguished from racial antisemitism which

11875-405: The leg. The extensor muscle contraction is quite slow (almost isometric), which allows it to develop high force (up to 14 N in the desert locust), but because it is slow only low power is needed. The third stage of the jump is the trigger relaxation of the flexor muscle, which releases the tibia from the flexed position. The subsequent rapid tibial extension is driven mainly by the relaxation of

12000-515: The legs that sense pressure and cuticle distortion. There are internal "chordotonal" sense organs specialized to detect position and movement about the joints of the exoskeleton. The receptors convey information to the central nervous system through sensory neurons, and most of these have their cell bodies located in the periphery near the receptor site itself. Like other insects, grasshoppers have an open circulatory system and their body cavities are filled with haemolymph . A heart-like structure in

12125-465: The males. Late-stage male nymphs can sometimes be seen making stridulatory movements, although they lack the equipment to make sounds, demonstrating the importance of this behavioural trait. The songs are a means of communication; the male stridulation seems to express reproductive maturity, the desire for social cohesion and individual well-being. Social cohesion becomes necessary among grasshoppers because of their ability to jump or fly large distances, and

12250-537: The mid-1970s the vast majority of Jews had left Muslim-majority countries , moving primarily to Israel, France, and the United States. The reasons for the Jewish exodus are varied and disputed. Ilan Pappé , an expatriate Israeli historian, writes that the First Aliyah to Israel "established a society based on Jewish supremacy" within "settlement-cooperatives" that were Jewish owned and operated. Joseph Massad ,

12375-565: The most common insects on the dry plains of Attica . Native Athenians for a while wore golden grasshopper brooches to symbolise that they were of pure Athenian lineage with no foreign ancestors. In addition, Peisistratus hung the figure of a kind of grasshopper before the Acropolis of Athens as apotropaic magic . Another symbolic use of the grasshopper is Sir Thomas Gresham 's gilded grasshopper in Lombard Street, London , dating from 1563;

12500-994: The number of locusts involved at 3.5 trillion. An adult desert locust can eat about 2 g (0.1 oz) of plant material each day, so the billions of insects in a large swarm can be very destructive, stripping all the foliage from plants in an affected area and consuming stems, flowers, fruits, seeds and bark. Grasshoppers have a wide range of predators at different stages of their lives; eggs are eaten by bee-flies , ground beetles and blister beetles ; hoppers and adults are taken by other insects such as ants and , robber flies and sphecid wasps , by spiders , and by many birds and small mammals including dogs and cats. The eggs and nymphs are under attack by parasitoids including blow flies , flesh flies, and tachinid flies . External parasites of adults and nymphs include mites. Female grasshoppers parasitised by mites produce fewer eggs and thus have fewer offspring than unaffected individuals. The grasshopper nematode ( Mermis nigrescens )

12625-489: The old Christian hostility towards Jews, the new term antisemitism becomes almost unavoidable, even before explicitly racist doctrines appear." One of the first typologies which was used to classify various human races was invented by Georges Vacher de Lapouge (1854–1936), a theoretician of eugenics , who published L'Aryen et son rôle social (1899 – "The Aryan and his social role") in 1899. In his book, he divides humanity into various, hierarchical races , starting with

12750-449: The ones who took in Kotaro and gave him a job in their helicopter business Sahara Airlines. Shunkichi ( 俊吉 , Shunkichi ) and Utako ( 唄子 , Utako ) are the parents who are always arguing with each other, Shigeru ( 茂 , Shigeru ) is their son, and Hitomi ( ひとみ , Hitomi ) is their daughter. The parents are murdered by Jark Midla in episode 46. Shigeru is the first person in

12875-473: The others members of Gorgom, the Kujira Mutant was concerned for the oceans after overhearing Baraom and Darom talking about Gorgom's rise to power and that they might pollute the oceans, so he rebelled as a result. Recruited by Baraom to defeat Black, the Kujira Mutant overpowered Black when Baraom arrived to take his King Stone. But learning the Mutant's intent, Baraom attempted to kill the Mutant along with Black. As

13000-471: The phrase which refers to the thought that whites have the obligation to make the societies of the other peoples more 'civilized', was widely used to justify imperialist policies as a noble enterprise. Thomas Carlyle , known for his historical account of the French Revolution , The French Revolution: A History , argued that European supremacist policies were justified on the grounds that they provided

13125-560: The power of the Vital Charger belt and the King Stone of the Sun, he transforms into the Century King Black Sun ( ブラックサン , Burakku San ) , who re-dubbed himself as Kamen Rider Black, to stop Gorgom and attempt to rescue Nobuhiko from them. As Kamen Rider Black, Kotaro fights barehanded using Rider Punches and Kicks to finish his enemies, although he once wields Shadow Moon's weapon, the Satan Saber, for his final battle against

13250-407: The previous 10 Kamen Riders in the last 7 episodes of the series was their last in the franchise history, up until Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker , not counting the remake versions of #1 , #2 and V3 in recent movies Kamen Rider: The First and Kamen Rider: The Next . The main villains from Kamen Rider Black , Dark Society Gorgom ( 暗黒結社ゴルゴム , Ankoku Kessha Gorugomu )

13375-481: The rise of Gorgom. Eventually, the three are killed off one by one. In the series reboot, Kamen Rider Black Sun , the High Priests are leading members of the Gorgom Party who were forced to associate themselves with corrupt government officials for the sake of their race. But the group ceases to be with Darom and Baraom killed while Bishium survived and formed an alliance with the new prime minister Isao Nimura. High Priest Darom ( 大神官ダロム , Daishinkan Daromu , 1-36)

13500-466: The rule of Adolf Hitler , promoted the belief in the existence of a superior, Aryan Herrenvolk , or master race . The state's propaganda advocated the belief that Germanic peoples , whom they called "Aryans", were a master race or a Herrenvolk whose members were superior to the Jews , Slavs , and Romani people , so-called "gypsies". Arthur de Gobineau , a French racial theorist and aristocrat, blamed

13625-474: The series reboot, Kamen Rider Black Sun , Nobuhiko was turned into a Migratory Locust Kaijin alongside Kotaro by their fathers after the Second World War. During the 70s, falling in love with a human named Yukari Shinjou who sought equality between their peoples, Nobuhiko aided the Gorgom Party in the kidnapping of Shinichi Donami before it fell apart and was incarcerated in complex where he is interrogated on

13750-406: The series reboot, Kamen Rider Black Sun , the Creation King was originally a giant grasshopper Kaijin that was a product of Imperial Japan 's superhuman experiments to create living weapons for military application. The Creation King's bodily fluids are used to both prolong Kaijin lives while converting humans into Kaijins, resulting in him being revered as a living deity. At the start of the series,

13875-442: The series to know that Kotaro is Black RX. Makoto Akatsuka ( 赤塚 真人 , Akatsuka Makoto ) , Eri Tsuruma ( 鶴間 エリ , Tsuruma Eri ) , Go Inoue ( 井上 豪 , Inoue Gō ) , and Shouko Imura ( 井村 翔子 , Imura Shōko ) portray Shunkichi, Utako, Shigeru, and Hitomi respectively. Joe the Haze ( 霞のジョー , Kasumi no Jō , 15-18, 20-26 & 37-47) is a master of the fighting style Haze Kenpo ( 霞拳法 , Kasumi Kenpō ) . He

14000-481: The song can serve to limit dispersal and guide others to favourable habitat. The generalised song can vary in phraseology and intensity, and is modified in the presence of a rival male, and changes again to a courtship song when a female is nearby. In male grasshoppers of the family Pneumoridae, the enlarged abdomen amplifies stridulation. In most grasshopper species, conflicts between males over females rarely escalate beyond ritualistic displays. Some exceptions include

14125-439: The songs of other grasshoppers. Those species that make easily heard noises usually do so by rubbing a row of pegs on the hind legs against the edges of the forewings (stridulation). These sounds are produced mainly by males to attract females, though in some species the females also stridulate. Grasshoppers may be confused with crickets, but they differ in many aspects; these include the number of segments in their antennae and

14250-633: The sources of the conflict, Julie Flint and Alex de Waal say that Colonel Gaddafi , the leader of Libya , sponsored "Arab supremacism" across the Sahara during the 1970s. Gaddafi supported the " Islamic Legion " and the Sudanese opposition " National Front , including the Muslim Brothers and the Ansar, the Umma Party 's military wing." Gaddafi tried to use such forces to annex Chad from 1979–81. Gaddafi supported

14375-569: The split between the Caelifera and the Ensifera is no more recent than the Permo-Triassic boundary ; the earliest insects that are certainly Caeliferans are in the extinct families Locustopseidae and Locustavidae from the early Triassic, roughly 250 million years ago. The group diversified during the Triassic and have remained important plant-eaters from that time to now. The first modern families such as

14500-483: The structure of the ovipositor, as well as the location of the tympanal organ and the methods by which sound is produced. Ensiferans have antennae that can be much longer than the body and have at least 20–24 segments, while caeliferans have fewer segments in their shorter, stouter antennae. Most grasshoppers are polyphagous , eating vegetation from multiple plant sources, but some are omnivorous and also eat animal tissue and animal faeces. In general their preference

14625-424: The substrate (the ground, a twig, a blade of grass or whatever else they are standing on); the reaction force propels them into the air. A large grasshopper, such as a locust, can jump about a metre (20 body lengths) without using its wings; the acceleration peaks at about 20 g. They jump for several reasons; to escape from a predator, to launch themselves into flight, or simply to move from place to place. For

14750-565: The superfamilies have representatives worldwide. They are almost exclusively herbivorous and are probably the oldest living group of chewing herbivorous insects. The most diverse superfamily is the Acridoidea , with around 8,000 species. The two main families in this are the Acrididae (grasshoppers and locusts) with a worldwide distribution, and the Romaleidae (lubber grasshoppers), found chiefly in

14875-481: The tibia is kept flexed by the simultaneous contraction of the flexor tibiae muscle. The extensor muscle is much stronger than the flexor muscle, but the latter is aided by specialisations in the joint that give it a large effective mechanical advantage over the former when the tibia is fully flexed. Co-contraction can last for up to half a second, and during this period the extensor muscle shortens and stores elastic strain energy by distorting stiff cuticular structures in

15000-446: The upper part of the abdomen pumps the fluid to the head from where it percolates past the tissues and organs on its way back to the abdomen. This system circulates nutrients throughout the body and carries metabolic wastes to be excreted into the gut. Other functions of the haemolymph include wound healing, heat transfer and the provision of hydrostatic pressure, but the circulatory system is not involved in gaseous exchange. Respiration

15125-536: The whereabouts of the Kingstones while force-fed Heaven made from Yukari's remains. In the present, Nobuhiko escapes and plots his revenge on the Gorgom party before Shinichi reveals that Yukari was a government agent his grandfather assigned to acquire the Kingstones. The revelation drives Nobuhiko over the edge and fully awakens as a Century King, Kamen Rider Shadowmoon ( 仮面ライダー SHADOWMOON ( シャドームーン ) , Kamen Raidā Shadōmūn ) , changing his plans to convert

15250-437: The wing-buds increasing in size at each stage. The number of instars varies between species but is often six. After the final moult, the wings are inflated and become fully functional. The migratory grasshopper, Melanoplus sanguinipes , spends about 25 to 30 days as a nymph, depending on sex and temperature, and lives for about 51 days as an adult. Locusts are the swarming phase of certain species of short-horned grasshoppers in

15375-519: The winter in this state. Diapause is broken by a sufficiently low ground temperature, with development resuming as soon as the ground warms above a certain threshold temperature. The embryos in a pod generally all hatch out within a few minutes of each other. They soon shed their membranes and their exoskeletons harden. These first instar nymphs can then jump away from predators. Grasshoppers undergo incomplete metamorphosis : they repeatedly moult , each instar becoming larger and more like an adult, with

15500-418: The world, but although it infects grasshoppers, the infection is not usually lethal because basking in the sun has the result of raising the insects' temperature above a threshold tolerated by the fungus. The fungal pathogen Entomophaga grylli is able to influence the behaviour of its grasshopper host, causing it to climb to the top of a plant and cling to the stem as it dies. This ensures wide dispersal of

15625-519: Was forced to turn himself in to Gorgom to save a child's life. Darom used him as bait for Black, only for the Kujira Mutant to help Black defeat Darom. Though still wounded from the Kōmori Mutant's attack, the Kujira Mutant guides Black to the cave that is Gorgom's Shrine before being attacked by the Togeuo Mutant. Kotaro catches up as the Togeuo Mutant starts to overwhelm Kujira Mutant but is forced to
