Dark Nibiru
CharacterDark Nibiru is the chief villain of the 10th Anniversary Festival musical, Sanctuary of Love. A professional wrestler in disguise, he leads the sunless world of Dark Sirius on a raid against Earth to seize the Silver Crystal and forge it into a star for his people.
Appearance
Beyond his true self, he adopts the ring persona of Black Sirius Scorpion, a masked professional grappler. The source leaves his native look undescribed and leans instead on that fighting-arena guise.
Personality
He is a schemer who wins through foul play rather than honest strength, cheating his way past a rival in the ring and then weaponizing his beaten foe against innocent spectators. His entire plan runs on manipulation and coercion, building toward a bid to strong-arm Sailor Moon into surrendering the Crystal.
History
Nibiru heads a band from the third world of an Orion system called Dark Sirius, a planet left with no sun. Convinced the Silver Crystal was taken from them ages ago, they cross to Earth intent on reclaiming it and kindling it into a light for their darkened home. Posing as the wrestler Black Sirius Scorpion, he cheats his way to victory over Sensational Jaguar Mask, then forces the loser to assault the crowd so the Sailor Senshi will reveal themselves. He presses Sailor Moon to hand over the gem, but with Prince Demande lending aid the Senshi break his followers, and Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon finish him together with Starlight Honeymoon Double Therapy Kiss. His name traces to Sumerian writings about a supposed twelfth planet, a body some tie to prophecies of the world's end.
