Dark Scythe, known as Dark Kirisaki (ダーク・キリサキ) in Japan, is a character from the Mega Man Battle Network series. He is an assassin trained by Dusk and his NetNavi is EraseMan.EXE. Both of his Japanese game and anime incarnations are known as the "Black Death God" (黒死神).

Personality
Dark Scythe doesn't show his emotions in front of others, he's the type who prefers to suffer in silence. On the other hand, he is confident in his NetBattling abilities and isn't afraid to show it. In the games, he is a very cold and professional individual. Like Dusk, he would eliminate his current comrades if he were hired to do so in the future.

After failing to win the Operator Navi Selection Test, Dark Scythe states that he would have triumphed if the final trial had relied on battle expertise instead of exploration skills. Before long, Dark Scythe begins offering lessons at Cyber Academy in Central Town.

Email promotions regarding his classes, suggest that NetBattlers may learn some brilliant battle techniques. In truth, Dark Scythe is providing lessons on assassination, which he previously revealed to Lan.

Dark Scythe's mission involves assassinating several gang members in the Undernet. After taking his lesson and defeating him in a Net Battle, Lan Hikari gains his Cross Style.
