 Buffaloman had made a deal with him to gain more power in exchange for murdering Choujin in his name, and later Goldman would make a deal with Satan to gain a new body and become Akuma Shogun, leader of the Devil Knights.He is also implied to have been the originator of the Devil Choujins.The revival series appears to have retconned this to some extent, as Goldman was established as the primary founder of the Devil Choujins, likely with Satan as a benefactor.
