Dark Miyabi (anime)

Dark Miyabi (ダーク・ミヤビ) is a character that first appears in Rockman.EXE Stream. A ninja and assassin for hire, Miyabi is a colleague of Deep Kawase, who refers to him as "General Miyabi". At some point, Dr. Wily revived ShadowMan.EXE and gave him to Miyabi. Despite first appearing and helping Netto Hikari, it is later revealed that before she was arrested, Tesla Magnets hired him to kill Netto and delete Rockman, though no matter how hard he tried he was unable to, with fate itself seemingly saving Netto at every turn. This, combined with Dr. Wily telling Miyabi that the fate of the world depends on Netto, leads Miyabi to become his ally.

Overview
Miyabi is a cold and highly skilled assassin-for-hire, taking large amounts of money from his clients and saving it to one day give to the one he chooses to be his master, and is colleagues with many other individuals in criminal underworld, such as Deep Kawase and Dr. Wily. Miyabi rarely shows care for anything other than his mission, having only been convinced to stop his mission to kill Netto and Rockman when he found out they were the only hope of saving the Earth from Duo.EXE.

Though he prefers to be alone, he isn't without a sense of comradery, teaming up with ShadowMan when Dr. Wily gives him to Miyabi, and has also shown to get along with the likes of the Cross Fusion Members, particularly Yuriko Ozono despite the two initially conflicting with one another, as well as the ex-members of the WWW and Dekao Oyama, saving the later from Zoano BlizzardMan.EXE and frequently eating at Maha Ichiban where the former works. He also does jobs for Dr. Wily for free and the two are drinking buddies.

Rockman.EXE Stream
Dark's first appearance is in episode 36 of Stream. He is first seen trailing Ms. Yuri, until he shows up in the midst of the chaos generated by Dark MegaMan's appearance in the NetPolice HQ and sends ShadowMan to help out MegaMan against the new generation Darkloids (CosmoMan, BlizzardMan, LarkMan, and CloudMan). Since the showdown between MegaMan and his dark self ends in a draw, they all leave.

Dusk reappears in Episode 42, where he steals Netto's Synchro Chip and tries to delete Rockman because he signed up on a request made by Tesla before the Neo WWW was dismantled and she was taken hostage. He is thwarted by Yuriko and Needleman's intervention. At the same time, he receives the Crest of Duo, marking him as an ally of Netto. He then flees, although he does hear the announcement broadcasted by Duo across the world to all crest holders.

He reappears in Episode 43, where he attempts to destroy Rockman with physical means, but fail numerous times with comedic effect.

Eventually, he is discovered by Yuriko, who pursues him as he attempts to escape. Miyabi tries to fly away with a kite, but Yuriko cuts the string and sends him flying. He ends up at Maha Ichiban's and stumbles upon Netto. After some debating over what really motivates him, he flees, not wanting to do "everything a star tells him to do" despite Shadowman's protests.

Miyabi then tries to ambush Netto in the park while he was on his way to follow Swordman's trail. He encounters Dr. Wily in the park, where Wily tries to entice Miyabi with money to override Tesla's promised reward. Miyabi rejects the money by throwing a knife into it, and somehow burning it to a crisp while stating that he fights "in the name of the curry."

He keeps chasing Netto (along with Dr. Wily), and finds him and Dingo facing off against Swordman. But, the two are having trouble, because of explosive traps placed in the parking lot were the battle is taking place. Wily sends Miyabi a Synchro Chip to allow him to fight, and he battles and deletes Asteroid Swordman, saving both Netto and Dingo.

He appears in episode 46.

He later fights against with the other Cross Fusion members against Regal and Duo. After the fact, he becomes a regular customer at the Maha Ichiban's Restaurant.

Rockman.EXE Beast
Dark attacks Zoanoroid BlizzardMan before using Cross Fusion. He is later seen defending the world against beast viruses and the Super Cybeast, but is ultimately defeated by the monstrosity along with many other fellow Cross Fusion members.

Rockman.EXE Beast+
Dark is first seen talking to Dr. Wily and putting a rather large bottle of liquor on the table to try to negotiate the devolution of his Synchro Chip. He is buried along with Wily under a pile of cans while they were sharing a drink. After Dr. Wily realized what Yuika and Blackbeard stole from him, Dusk travels to the Hikari household to alert Lan of the problem. While there, he gets stuck in an embarrassing conversation with Lan's mother. After summarizing the situation to Lan, he and ShadowMan team up with Lan and MegaMan to fend off the beast viruses that were attacking R-CircusMan and R-DiveMan in the Cyberworld. He is last seen in Episode 26 drinking with Wily.

Trivia

 * Dusk’s design had not been completed by Mega Man Battle Network 2, but because Miyabi was going to make an appearance in Stream, the artists completed his appearance so he could appear in the anime before his appearance in Mega Man Battle Network 5.
