Murky Darkness
CharacterMurky Darkness is a sword-carrying ninja of the Ninja Village and a member of the Heavenly Ninja Party. Sheathed head to toe in black, he joins the group's campaign of vengeance against Flashy Flash during the Neo Heroes Saga.
Appearance
Every inch of him is hidden beneath a black bodysuit fitted with armor plating, gloves, boots, and a headband. Only his eyes show through, and their whites are a solid black.
Personality
He carries the same confidence as the rest of the Heavenly Ninja Party and gladly bands together with fellow Ninja Village graduates to improve their chances against Flash. Though his time in the Village was harsh, he still honors its laws, and he loathes Flash for tearing the place down.
History
Murky Darkness came out of the Ninja Village's thirty-fifth graduating class, called Chosen, before signing on with the Heavenly Ninja Party. In the Ninjas Arc, the group leans on Speed-o'-Sound Sonic to help them settle their score with Flash. Once Sonic draws Flash into a forest and the two square off, the party breaks in and joins the fray. Blast then intervenes to halt the fight and teleports everyone to Sonic's hideout, where Saitama has already toppled the Ninja Village leader.
There, Darkness and his comrades look on as Byakko and Genbu turn up only to be beaten by Blast and Empty Void. The party makes a bid to claim Saitama as their master, and after a flat refusal, Darkness decides with the others to shadow him instead. His training gives him speed and reflexes well beyond an ordinary person's, and he fights with a sword he handles with skill. His signature craft is a ninjutsu for bending shadows, letting him melt out of sight within them.
