|-|Device and Weapon=
=== Shadow Charger ===
The Shadow Charger (シャドーチャージャー, Shadō Chājā) is Shadow Moon's means of transformation. Embedded upon the center of the belt is the artifact known as the Stone of the Moon Kingstone (月の石 キングストーン, Tsuki no Seki Kingu Sutōn).
=== Satansaber ===
The Satansaber (サタンサーベル, Satan Sāberu) is a weapon created for use by the Century Kings. Though Bilgenia took it, Shadow Moon easily reclaimed the weapon and took it as his own. He used it during the final battle against Kamen Rider Black, but was defeated.
=== Shadow Sabers ===
The Shadow Sabers (シャドーセイバー, Shadō Seibā) are a pair of long and short swords manifested by the Kingstone and were used as a replacement for the Satansaber.

=== Battle Hopper ===
Battle Hopper (バトルホッパー, Batoru Hoppā) is a living motorcycle used by Kamen Rider BLACK. It was created by Gorgom, made specifically for the upcoming Creation Kings Black Sun and Shadow Moon. When Kohtaro Minami was ambushed by the members of Gorgom during his escape, he drives Battle Hopper and finally got away from Gorgom headquarters. Because Battle Hopper is connected to the Kingstones, it was controlled by Shadow Moon due to this connection until Black used his Kingstone Flash to disconnect the two.

Intelligence: Genius (Kotaro mentions that Nobuhiko was known for his intellect, and is treated as a more cunning strategist than his adoptive brother. In his first appearance, he managed to easily outskill Bilgenia despite the experience disadvantage, And shortly after this, He became the new leader of Gorgom for a good time and orchestrated multiple plans against Black Sun and his allies, and could even outsmart and manipulate his brother in some occasions, going as far as to defeat him in their first encounter by strategy and skill, despite Kotaro being a very good strategist and fighter by himself. Even after his revival, Shadow Moon still showed to be very quick and skilled at using his techniques and abilities, which led to him outclassing Black RX and Roborider, Later on, The Creation King himself mentioned that Nobuhiko was the ideal commander and leader that gorgom deserved, being shown as their triumph card to rule over the world, With him being clearly superior to other Gorgom commanders thanks to his constant competence and intelligence. Like mentioned previously, due to Kotaro admitting that Nobuhiko was his equal at everything, It should be fair to say that he should also match his brother's skills and intellect, due to both of them constantly outsmarting each other, this is shown later on in the show, when Shadow Moon manages to successfully deduce and discover the plan of the crisis empire that consisted in them making a volcano erupt to trap both Shadow Moon and Black RX in it, using innocent children as bait to trick them, With Shadow Moon mentioning how easy it is to avoid the plan, But he still decided to not screw it over, Since he wanted to fight with his brother not mattering the circumstances.)
Weaknesses: Damage to his Kingstone can result on him being weakened, or even dying.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Shadow Flash: (シャドーフラッシュ, Shadō Furasshu): It uses the same principle as Black Sun's Kingstone Flash to activate special abilities by emitting light from the Kingstone. With many various uses, such as sending foes to the Spirit World, summoning Battle Hopper, control the weather, or release energy attacks.
*Shadow Kick: (シャドーキック, Shadō Kikku): This is a special kick with enhanced power by combining the super vibrational wave and twist of the leg trigger with both legs aligned. Unlike the Kamen Rider Black's Rider Kick, it is released with both legs.
*Shadow Punch: (シャドーパンチ, Shadō Panchi): A special punch that utilizes the repulsive force of the elbow trigger's super vibratory wave. In the setting, the fist glows green when the technique is activated; it is said to be as powerful as Kamen Rider Black's Rider Punch. It delivers 16 powerful punches in an instant. The power is enhanced by the super vibration of the elbow trigger.
*Shadow Beam: (シャドービーム, Shadō Bīmu): Beams shot from both hands by the energy of the Kingstone. It can varies from a green lightning-like beam of destruction that captures and throws enemies away, a powerful red beam that pierces his foes, or a yellow light projectile that is fired from his fists.
