Dark Dragon

Anti-Hero/Clone

Template loop detected: Template:Characterbox

**Dark Dragon** (ダーカス ドラゴン, *Dākasu Doragon*), also known as "**Darkus Dragonoid**", is a reoccuring antagonist-turned-anti-hero in *The New Life of Kurisu Furo* series.
A clone of **Kurisu Furo** in Bakugan form created by the **Dark Warriors** (Dark William and Yumi), he was originally programmed to attack and annhilate Kurisu Furo. His form had changed alongside Kurisu's over the years, however, by excess of power instead of earning the evolutions.

Dark Dragon is credited to be voiced by **Julius Cho** (the voice of Magnus Black in *Bakugan Battle Planet*, respectively), though he is REALLY voiced by Kurisu Furo's voice, Christian Flow.

## Backstory and Progress

Back in *Code Lyoko Battle Brawlers - Living in the End Times Part 5*, Dark Dragon, as stated, was created from Kurisu's DNA and was programmed for battle. His first appearances only served to battle Kurisu. It was until *Part 6* that things came to a head for the Dark Warriors (William and Yumi) and the clones met their final de-resolutioned demise, but Dark Dragon stayed in the Volcano Replika's base to protect it.
From *The New Life of Kurisu Furo* onwards, Dark Dragon gathered the broken and defeated Mechtavius Destroyer (Cordegon, Slicerak, Exostriker and Manibor) (a being Furo had defeated both combined and individually prior) from the depths of the Doom Dimension to the Volcano Replika to be all fixed up. It was until the *New Life of Kurisu Furo - Countdown to Apocalypse* three-parter episode "*The Return of the Dark Warriors*", did Darks William and Yumi make their return and rejoin Dark Dragon as a whole and repair Mechtavius Destroyer, but were able to make it so he was under their sole control as a super-weapon.

As of the *New Life of Kurisu Furo - Life in the End Times* episode "*The Destruction of the Dark Warriors*", the Dark Warriors, Dark William, Yumi, and ultimately, the recreated Mechtavius Destroyer, were all destroyed by ShadowLoid **Shadow Dark ProtoMan**, and only Dark Dragon survived by retracting himself in closed ball form, hiding so he doesn't get caught.
By the *New Life of Kurisu Furo - Complications With Actions* episode, "*More Master Swords! Even Aurelus?!*", Dark Dragon chose to remain with Silentless Naga, a decrepit and defeated **Silent Naga** (from *Bakugan Battle Brawlers*) in the Doom Dimension.

As of the *The New Life of Kurisu Furo - Choices In Life (2021)* story titled "*Troubled Dragon*", Dark Dragon was influenced by Silentless Naga to change his "programming" from being an enemy to a redeemed ally in the fight alongside Kurisu to combat greater evils.

## Appearance and Powers

Dark Dragon's appearance is the same as Kurisu Furo's Dragonmon form. Dark Dragon also first used to be a Pyrus Bakugan, but was changed to Darkus both to fit with the name and because of his own free will as Naga's Warrior.
As of the episode "*The Dragon Clash*", Dark Dragon has a noticeable scar on the left side of his face where he was slashed in the eye Kurisu currently cannot see out of himself. The resulting scar makes it look like he still has Pyrus under his Darkus scales and armor.
His body and armor are identical to Kurisu's, but all changed to Darkus and themed with the Evolution **XANA Eye**.

Dark Dragon's emblem is the Evolution XANA Eye symbol, but with a large white slash in the center (reminiscent of a Rockman.EXE/MegaMan NT Warrior character **Forte/Bass**).

Dark Dragon is also equipped with a Vestral Blade like Kurisu does, but has the energies of Darkus, SubTerra and Ventus, dubbing the blade "The Vestral Blade of Darkness" (as opposed to Pyrus, Aquos and Haos which is the Triple-Node of Light).

His abilities:

* **Darkness Quasar** (*Dark Quasar Blast*): Main shooting attack. Shoots from mouth like Infinity Helios.
* **Darkus Riot**: Inherited from Silent Naga. Alternate shooting attack from his hands.
* **Evil Shield** (*Dark Shield*): A strong hexagonal dome shield that covers Dark Dragon or anyone he chooses to guard. Can be manipulated in size.
* **Gyro Wing** (*Aero Jet*): Inherited from Kurisu Furo. A form of Kurisu's "Aero Dragon", but unique to Dark Dragon. A flying speed boost.

* **Super Dark Lariat** (*Darkus Lariat*): A very powerful collective blast using both mouth and energy from his sword, pointing at his target.
* **Ultimate Dark Burst**: A super-charged sword slash attack. Reminiscent of XANA-WIlliam's sword slash.

Along with these main Baku-powers, he has other abilites such as being able to read Kurisu's mind through a "mind-link", constantly keeping tabs on his thoughts.
As of the *Choices in Life (2021)* episode "*The Destiny of the Two Dragons*", he and Kurisu can perform a "DNA Fusion" (a mix of a Faction Fusion (*Bakugan*) and DNA Digivolution (*Digimon*)) and turn into **OmniDragonmon**.

As of the episode "*Meet the Geogan - DRAKONOS*", Dark Dragon had acquired his own personal Geogan, Darkus Drakonos (Kurisu gets a Pyrus Drakonos).

## Personality

Dark Dragon was created by the Dark Warriors to be a benevolent and violent being, but with Kurisu's DNA, he inherited a sense of caution, awareness and curiosity. At first, his mind was only set on destroying Kurisu, but his intelligence grew later on.
Dark Dragon also has a sense of loyalty, aligning himself with anything that can help further his abilities. To this day, he still remembers fondly of the Dark Warriors as "his family" - this being a driving factor as to why he's bent on destroying the ShadowLoids for killing off the Dark Warriors and leaving him to survive on his own. Since then, he's found refuge in the Doom Dimension and has been loyal to Silentless Naga ever since.

Despite being Kurisu's clone by DNA, he tries hard to differentiate himself from Furo, trying his best to be his own unique being, and gets annoyed when he's mistaken for the real deal.
However, this was re-inforced in the *World at War 2021* episode "*Dark Dragon Experiences Regression*", but at the end of the episode, Dark Dragon inherits Kurisu's little pasttime hobby thanks to Kurisu's, and to an extent, his mother **Kassidy Kitsune**'s, influence.
But like Furo, however, he tries to be loyal and offer advice, sometimes going into aggrevated ranting and tell others off for their wrongdoings.
Dark Dragon has done this to Kurisu countless times during their battles, bringing up Kurisu's insecurities in order to rile him up or catch him off-guard, but quickly grew out of it when they started to work together.

He also has a sense of pride, seen in "*The Dragon Clash*" and the three-parter "*Return of the Vexos! The Triple-Node Swords!*", he battles thoroughly and even though he initially doesn't stop until his opponent is defeated, he has enough pride to say when to stop and retreat for recovery.

## Alliances/Relationships

**The Dark Warriors**

Dark Warriors William, Yumi (and by extension, the recreated Mechtavius Destroyer) are a group of self-willed clones initially created by **XANA**, who created Dark Dragon to be "their Bakugan". Dark Dragon himself values this group to be "his family", as he was created by them.

**Silentless Naga**

Dark Dragon's current "Master". He shares an undying loyalty towards Naga and appreciates him letting Dark Dragon stay in the old castle in the Doom Dimension. Apart from being his Master, he's also been Dark Dragon's "teacher", just like how **Commandix Dragonoid** is to Kurisu Furo.

**Kurisu Furo**

Dark Dragon was born from Kurisu's DNA and for years he was thought to be Furo's eternal enemy. His influence from Naga (after talking with Tiko) made Dark Dragon come to the suggestion to make Kurisu be his ally rather than his enemy. He was VERY hesitant to do this and became very confused until their first "DNA Fusion" into OmniDragonmon. Since then, he's now Kurisu Furo's ally, fighting alongside him rather than against him. And thanks to Kassidy's influence, he is now Kurisu's regressing buddy.

**ShadowLoids (Demon DarkLoids)**

Dark Dragon despises them greatly as a common enemy and yearns to destroy them as they did to the Dark Warriors. With Furo, they were able to ultimately delete Shadow Dark ProtoMan, but Dark Dragon isn't satisfied until they all are deleted and rid from the Net for good.

**XANA**

Dark Dragon's relationship with XANA is a feeling like its creation meeting up with its creator - weird. Weird, but respectful. Since XANA had initially created the Dark Warriors, Dark Dragon knows XANA had recreated them in his chambers but is saddened to know they won't be the same Warriors he once knew before they were destroyed.
Dark Dragon still comes to XANA for tatical advice and see him as an ally.
In "*The Search in the Deep Void*", XANA aides Dark Dragon (via the Skidbladnir) in tracking down the ShadowLoids' base in the Deep Void.

**Kassidy Kitsune**

Dark Dragon doesn't have as much of a relationship with Kurisu's magical fox mother as Kurisu himself does. It wasn't until "*Dark Dragon Experiences Regression*" that Dark Dragon gets to experience Kurisu's pasttime and see how caring Kassidy really is.

**Tiko**

Dark Dragon only knows Tiko through the fact Kurisu had once Faction Fused with him to make "Dragonmon X Aurelus". In "*The Triple DNA Fusion*", both Dark Dragon and Kurisu helped to defend Tiko and ultimately fused all together to take out both Shadow FlashMan and Shadow SwordMan.
