Dark Miyabi (anime)

Dark Miyabi (ダーク・ミヤビ) is a character in the Rockman.EXE anime 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, and from then on he became the ninja NetNavi’s operator. 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.

Miyabi debuts having been hired to trail Yuriko Ozono as she and NeedleMan.EXE monitor Dark Rockman.EXE as he pretends to be Rockman.EXE, noting she is Dr. Wily's daughter while smirking to himself. When Yuriko saves Netto Hikari from wires being controlled by Dark Rockman and tells him to save Rockman, Miyabi informs them where Rockman is being kept and meets them there where he plugs ShadowMan.EXE in and introduces himself. Rockman notes that ShadowMan is still alive, but Miyabi corrects him and says that a "meddlesome old man" brought ShadowMan back to life and he is now Miyabi's Navi. ShadowMan, NeedleMan, and Rockman fend of Dark Rockman's new group of Darkloids and everyone watches as Dark Rockman and Rockman exchange Giga Cannon Program Advance blasts. When it ends at a stalemate, Miyabi and ShadowMan take their leave.

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.
