Dark Million

## This article is about the criminal organization led by the Anime Universe Black Shadow. For the organization led by his Main Universe counterpart, see BS Group.

Dark Million is a large criminal organization with Black Shadow as its leader. Although Black Shadow does not race frequently in F-Zero, his subordinates in Dark Million are tasked with winning the prize money at all costs in order to fund the organization.

## History

While Dark Million's origins are not explicitly stated, Black Shadow is known for being its leader. Having a "glorious dream," Black Shadow intended to use the power of the Reactor Mights to destroy the universe and create a new one where darkness ruled. To make this possible, he created Zoda at some point in the 22nd century, then sent Zoda to Ryu Suzaku's time in the past in the 21nd century, knowing Ryu would stand as an obstacle in the path to ultimate darkness for the 23rd century.

However, he had also made sure to include another person in his schemes, Ryu's girlfriend, Misaki Haruka, who would later become brainwashed after being awakened from coldsleep in the year 2201. Misaki Haruka, under this brainwashed state, would become the woman known in Dark Million as Miss Killer.

In the year 2196, Dark Million broke into a coldsleep facility called Alcatrand, awakening Zoda after he had been frozen at the East Bank in the past. After Black Shadow modified him, Zoda became one of the prominent members of Dark Million.

Sometime within the same year, on the planet Heru, a transport ship had been destroyed. This transport ship was part of a Dark Million smuggling operation, headed by Black Shadow. The one who was believed to be responsible for this was Captain Falcon, although the Galaxy Police had one of their spies infiltrate the ship as well. However, Zoda grew aware of this spy and took matters into his own hands. The spy, Roy Hughes, who had then quickly recognized who Captain Falcon was, warned Falcon to escape before setting off a detonator.

Two years after the Heru transport ship incident, Mute City had nearly been at peace, but Dark Million remained as the obstacle in the path for peace. In a heated gunfight with the Galaxy Police, officers Andy and Jody Summer were caught in the middle of a blast from Zoda's rocket launcher. Andy 'died', but Jody was critically injured, needing partial cyborg reconstruction of her body.

From then on, Dark Million had continued carrying out its operations under Black Shadow's lead for years. But their final stand occurred some time in the year 2202, just one year after Ryu Suzaku had been revived from coldsleep. Despite the galaxy almost falling apart thanks to Black Shadow's ultimate plan revolving the Dark Matter Reactor, it would be Andy Summer (as Captain Falcon) who would put an end to Black Shadow's villainy once and for all. One fatal Falcon Punch would save the galaxy.

However, in the year 2207, several former Dark Million members are seen at the new Grand Prix. Octoman, Bio Rex, The Skull, and Baba were all part of the lineup, and the latter two grew dismayed with the last minute entry of Zoda.

## Trivia

* In Lap 22 - Ryu And Falcon, among the Dark Soldiers tasked with hunting down Jody Summer on a unknown planet, there are also robot attack dogs. This is apparently the only time the dog-like robots are utilized.
* In Lap 43 - Awakening, three unknown figures stand in the distance a crowd shot of Dark Million's army including a caped figure, a pointy headed figure and a figure wearing a purple jumpsuit. It is unknown if they are Dark Soldier variants or other henchmen.
* In the final episode, Dark Million's main henchmen all decide to bail on the group due to feeling Black Shadow's plan was too dangerous and not wanting to risk their lives, especially when Black Shadow already betrayed Zoda. It is unknown if these ex-henchmen for Dark Million are still criminals in the epilogue.
* In *F-Zero Climax*, Black Shadow, all forms of Zoda, Dark Soldier, Blood Falcon, and Miss Killer all use Black Fire instead of Boost Fire. However, neither of the Dark Soldiers nor Miss Killer use this technique in the anime. Other Dark Million members, such as Octoman and Bio Rex, also do not use Black Fire, but this is possibly due these characters not being entrenched enough in Dark Million.
