Dark Bring

Mother Dark Bring

Endless - The Dimension-Destroying Dark Bring, it is the true form of Endless, The King of Oblivion, and the five Mother Dark Brings. It holds all of the powers of the five Mother Dark Brings, and its assimilation initiates the destruction of the world. As its title suggests, it gives an individual the power to destroy dimensions. It takes the form of a dark-colored slime ball on a necklace, and is used by Lucia. It can be noted that Endless the dark bring is not the same as Sinclaire, which was destroyed by Shiba.

These are the five most powerful dark bring, and polar opposites to the Rave stones (not their powers, just their affinity). In truth, they are actually the five separate pieces of the mother of all Dark Bring's, Sinclaire, the dark bring that caused the Overdrive. According to Franken Billy in Rave Master manga volume 10, Sinclaire is the Dark Bring of the gods. Unlike most dark brings, the only time they can be destroyed is if all five are assembled together.

Sinclaire - the distortion Dark Bring and the main piece of Sinclaire. It can cause large explosions and create warped dimensional spaces with great enough pressure to annihilate anything. The explosions are similar to Overdrive but on a smaller scale. The Dark Bring is located in a sword-shaped necklace around Lucia's neck. This Dark Bring is used by Lucia Raregroove.

Vampire - the fifth piece of Sinclaire, this Dark Bring has control over gravity and repulsion, allowing the user to either draw in the enemy or push them back. When mastered, it can "pull physical matter into darkness" as quoted by Doryu himself. With this dark bring, Doryu was able to literally obliterate two ships and tore Musica apart; piece by piece. The Dark Bring is located in a crescent moon-shaped necklace around Doryu's neck. This dark bring is used by Pumpkin Doryu, but is now in the possession of Raitei, until it is assembled with Endless to make the ultimate Dark Bring.

Last Physics - the invulnerability Dark Bring prevents the owner from being harmed by any physical attack, even if it pierces the body. Fists, bullets, & swords are all useless against this Dark Bring. It is, however, useless against non-physical attacks such as magic. The Dark Bring is made into a necklace and the stone itself is covered in spikes similar to a flail ball. This dark bring was used by Commander Ogre, then was in the possession of Sieg Hart until Lucia assembled it with Endless to make the ultimate Dark Bring.

Anastasis - Used by Captain Hardner. The Dark Bring first appears as a necklace similar to a checkered egg, but now appears as a stone on his chest armor. The main powers of this Dark Bring is resurrection, allowing the user to heal himself from seemingly grievous wounds or to call up living or non-living things that has been destroyed. He can also use it to control plants by filling them with life, recalling enemies' past wounds, and also to rebuild buildings and ruins that have been destroyed. Drawback is that the user has to have enough energy to use its powers

Final Story - Originally used by Demon Lord Ashura until it came into Lucia's possession, It allows Lucia to have absolute power over all Dark Brings and access to the powers of every single Dark Bring ever created. He can also choose to destroy any dark bring, in case it is being used against him. The dark bring takes the form of a dark gem in a detailed necklace, but has assimilated with the other mother DB's and Endless to form the ultimate Dark Bring.

Six Star Dark Bring

These are the second most powerful group of dark brings, used by the seven members of the Oracion Seis except Haja (to make more sense, Shuda was one of the Oracion Seis then quit, so they got a new member, thus, seven members total). Each six star dark bring harnesses a different force of nature (i.e. fire, water, wind).

Ballettnzer Zeffrea - the flame six star dark bring used by Shuda. This dark bring is able to create an explosion in any given spot. This spot is indicated by a pink, spherical grid. Everything inside is hit with a powerful explosion. When Haru first met Shuda, he had to deal with this dark bring, but was able to overcome it using Silfarion. After Haru met up with Shuda again, Shuda had improved the power of his dark bring, by being able to stop all enemies inside the grid from moving (this is what defeated him before). Unfortunately, since it is fire-based, the explosions are weakened by water. Ballettnzer Zeffrea is translated into Explosive Flame Ballet in Vol. 20, and harnesses the power of fire. This dark bring was destroyed by Lucia when Shuda tried to attack him.

White Kiss - the alchemy six star dark bring used by Reina. This dark bring is able to create metal (in this case, silver) from literally nothing. In combination with her silverclaiming skills (alchemic control over silver) Reina is able to create silver, and then mold it into anything she chooses from shields to spears. The dark bring is located in the silver snake on her right arm. After Reina sacrificed herself to destroy the Silver Ray, her dark bring became apart of Musica's Silver Ray. White Kiss harnesses the power of metal. Techniques include:

Spear Rain - Reina creates several silver balls and uses then to create spears to impale the enemy from multiple directions.

Silver Emperor - Reina creates a large, silver figure in the form of an Emperor, which slashes the enemy with a silver sword.

Yggdrasil - the tree six star dark bring used by Jegan. This dark bring has the power to absorb almost all power and attacks and control and manipulation of plants. If an enemy directly strikes Yggdrasil, the enemy will begin to sprout little seedlings which eventually morph the enemy into a tree. The first time it was seen, Yggdrassil was simply a black stone in a circular handheld metal piece. When seen again in Vol. 19, it is then worn in an arm bracelet. When Jegan was defeated by Let, it is unknown if it fell into the ocean or if Jegan had it when he died. Yggdrasil is the name of a mystical tree in Norse Mythology, and harnesses the power of wood. Techniques include:

Albero Blade - Jegan grows trees and commands their branches to lash out at the enemy

Seed Barker - Jegan grows seed-shooting flowers along the ground. If hit by one of the seeds, it will sprout and use your strength to turn you into a tree.

Armure D'Etoile - the ice blade six star dark bring used by Iulius. This dark bring is able to temporarily "freeze" enemies in their tracks, shape itself into an ice sword, and encase enemies in solid ice. The location and original form of this dark bring is unknown, but it could possibly be inside Iulius's crucifix. Armure D'Etoile can be translated into Star Armor and harnesses the power of ice. Techniques include:

Freeze - Iulius temporarily stops the enemy from moving.

Freezing Edge - the enemy is encased in jagged ice after being thrown.

G-Earth - a earth six star dark bring used by Berial. With a simple snap of the fingers, this dark bring commands the earth itself, allowing Berial to create vertical cliff walls and stone fists to pummel the enemy. There have not been any specific techniques yet. It has not been confirmed, but the dark bring is most likely located in the necklace around Berial's neck. G-Earth obviously harnesses the power of earth.

Zero Stream - the "flow" six star dark bring used by Deep Snow. According to Deep Snow, it is able to control all that flows, which includes water, wind, and even blood. This dark bring is able to use water as a shield, create tidalwaves, turn rain droplets into bullets, contort and twist enemies' bodies by a simple move of a finger, and use wind to blow away debris and enemies. It can even create a decoy out of water, taking on the Deep Snow's appearance until attacked. With great concentration, its is supposedly able to control all that moves. The dark bring is small and located hanging from Deep Snow's headband which is usually hidden under his large hat. Zero Stream harnesses the powers of water and wind.

Special Dark Bring

Reversal Dark Brings give the user the power of transformation, with the drawback of never being able to return to their normal form.

Bone Knight - the Reversal DB that appears in the form of a necklace, grants the user the power to transform into a Skeleton Knight made up of living bone and armor. The user is also given a sword. The drawback to this ability is that the user's body is still bone, which can be broken with enough force. This DB is used by Wolf Doctor Mummy. Techniques:

Rent Gain - The user sends an outward shockwave that burns the enemies's very bones.

Forbidden Dark Bring

Monster Prison

The final Dark Bring used by King in combat. This Dark Bring grants the user a huge amount of power in terms of strength and speed transforms the physical form of the user, but in the process causes the user's soul trapped within the body, unable to revert back to his original form and degreases to a berserk beast in intelligence and shape. This Dark Bring's power was defeated by the combination of both Haru and his father Gale.

Type-56

Used by Shuda's replacement, Deep Snow. Created in the Demon Card's laboratory located in the Hard Core mountains. Named Type-56, due to the date in was created, this Dark Bring, allows the user to unlock his true potentials and powers, in other words eliminating the barriers to become stronger. Grants enormous power to the user by breaking the limits of the human body.

It was said to be the most powerful Dark Bring, with exception to the Mother Dark Brings. Powerful, that even King himself, is afraid of it, and forbids Deep Snow from using it. Though powerful, Deep Snow's Type-56's powers were defeated by Shuda aided with Gale's sword. The Dark Bring is located on Deep Snow's chest embedded to himself.

Type-61

Used by Haja, this dark bring was the secret to Haja's infinite magical powers, though he was a great sorcerer without it. This DB is embedded in Haja's chest like Deep Snow, and was also artificially created by Igor Kilkila. Whether it is a six star DB, since all Oracion Seis use one, or a Forbidden DB is uncertain.

End of Earth

This Dark Bring was implanted into Gale Glory 10 years before the main story line. Over this time period, it collected energy to eventually cause another Overdrive. It was used and presumably destroyed when King moved it using Warp to DC headquarters to repent for his crimes against the world.

Regular Dark Bring

Full Metal - gives the power to turn the body into steel. This was the first Dark Bring Haru encountered, and required him to use his sword. It is located in a necklace around Feber's neck. This Dark Bring was used by Demon Card Operative Feber, but was originally owned by Shuda.

Valsyar Flame - gives the user control over flames produced by the Dark Bring itself. The flames can swarm around the enemy and will not go out until the user stops it, or until the enemy on fire reaches a source of water. Haru had a lot of trouble with this dark bring, but was able to destroy it with Plue's help and a broken sign. It is located in metal wrist band, and was destroyed by Explosion. This dark bring is used by Shuda.

Smoke Bay - transforms the body into deadly carbon monoxide gas, and making the user almost impervious to physical attacks. With Plue's help, Haru was able to defeat and destroy this dark bring. This dark bring is located in a necklace around Georco's neck. It is used by Georco.

Real Moment - turns illusions into real objects for an instant. In combination with Lance's Beast Sword, which creates illusions of wolves and lions when swung, it can allow the illusions to inflict physical damage. The Dark Bring is embedded into the beast sword and is used by Demon Card Officer Lance.

Angry Blitz - releases lightning on command. Though it uses an element, it isn't considered a Six Star Dark Bring. The Dark Bring is located in one of the faces of Go's "Thunder Hammer", and is used by Demon Card Officer and Movie Director Go.

Glue Tear - produces and sprays a sticky glue-like substance. The user can also manipulate glue that is still attached to the antennae. This Dark Bring is located inside of an antennae, and his used by Demon Card Operative Poosya.

Submarine Soil - allows the user to "swim" through the earth like it were water. Helpful in battle and out of battle. With this Dark Bring, the demonoids were able to find the city of Rabarrier more easily. During battle it allows easy sneak attacks. This Dark Bring is located on a neck chain and is used by the Demonoid Zahrshippe.

Compass Code - gives control over the magnetic field between the user and the enemy. If the enemy is carrying a metal weapon, he can simply manipulate it and send the enemy flying. The Dark Bring was easily defeated, though, when Haru threw his sword. The dark bring is used by Demonoid Gnet and is located in a hole in Gnet's forehead.

Black Zenith - releases a black orb that erases anything it touches. Though powerful, it is defeated by Rune Save since it is not physical. The location is unknown but it is the first of the five Dark Bring used by King.

Gate - capable of opening doors to other worlds. This was used to open the door to the Mystic Realm and summon the Five Palace Guardians. After using it, Plue destroyed it with his "nose". It is partially covered in metal and is handheld. This is the second Dark Bring used by King.

Rhythm Counter - allows the user to counter an enemy's attacks but with twice the force. In combination with his ability to read minds, it is almost an invincible Dark Bring. It is defeated when Haru clears his mind with Rune Save. This Dark Bring is located in a small necklace and is used by Palace Guardian Racas.

Shadow Doll - gives the user control over shadows. This includes freezing enemy when stepping on their shadows and having the properties of shadows when struck. The only way to defeat it is to remove or destroy the Dark Bring first. It was destroyed by Plue and Solasido. This Dark Bring is located in a necklace and is used by Palace Guradian Rionette.

Needle Pain - gives the user control over needles. This includes being able to sprout needles from the ground when striking the ground. Though it appears powerful, it was easily defeated by Musica and Solasido. The Dark Bring is used by Palace Guardian Ron Glace and is located in the forehead of his helmet. Techniques include:

Needle Burst - Giant needles rise from the ground after Ron Glace pierces the ground with his lance.

Transparent - allows the user to turn anything and anyone invisible. This includes weapons, structures, other people, and himself. This does not, however, make the objects untouchable. The dark bring is used by Palace Guardian Captain Ltiangle and is located in the tower-like structure on his head.

Decalogus - King's sword, it has all the forms of the Ten Commandments. The sword is nearly identical to the Ten Commandments and the DB is embedded near the base of the blade. If the blade is broken, it seems that is can heal itself or be repaired, since Haru has broken it twice now. This DB was first used by King and is currently being used by his son, Lucia.

Warp Road - King's fifth DB. Capable of transporting people to and from the user. He used it to transport End of Earth to Demon Card Headquarters.

North Wind - allows the user to become wind. They can also stand on water, produce wind, become tangible to avoid attacks, and become blades of wind to strike the enemy physically. The user can also use these powers underwater, where they also appear enhanced. The user can still be struck by magical attacks and even physical if not dodged. The form of this dark bring is unknown, and is used by Lilith.

Sound Canceler - allows the user to temporarily block all sound between them and the source of the sound, as well as being able to cancel others' voice. This is useful against sorcerers since many can't cast spells if they can't chant. The form of this DB is unknown and is used by Sopra.

The Dark Bring Cave

Dark Bring Cave is an area featured within the Japanese manga/anime series Rave Master. The Dark Bring Cave is a specific cave that had been reached by Haru and the others after being forced to walk to Southernberg on foot. Below is a list of the characters and specific events that had taken place within this cave.

Doppelganger Haru

Doppelganger Haru is an alternate Haru featured within this cave. In appearance, this fake Haru completely resembles Haru, excluding the fact that he has tanner skin and darkned eye lids. After Griffon had effectively found a spring within the cave, Haru would impulsively jump into it even though the spring resided with an evil aura - the primary reason for its purple color. After this new doppelganger Haru was effectively awakened, it pounced atop Elie and striped her of her shirt, with the words, "Don't be such a baby. I just want to take a peek." Before this fake Haru could go further with Elie, Musica quickly upperkicked him in the face. After Haru then effectively pissed off both Let and Musica through his harsh words, the true Haru finally emerges and destroys the doppelganger Haru in a quick stroke of his sword.

Doppelganger Plue

Doppelganger Plue is an alternate Plue featured within this cave. In appearance, this fake Plue has inverted colors (being fully black instead of white with white eyes). After Plue had jumped into the mysterious pool himself, this fake Plue was effectively created. After emerging, Griffon would greet the doppelganger, but this fake Plue would respond by jabbing him with his nose horn. This fake Plue would soon be destroyed after the real Plue emerges from the water and jabs his horn into the fake Plue's flesh.

Hundred Eater

The Hundred Eater is the main enemy and controller of the Dark Bring Cavern. Hundred Eater is a very large monster that has hundreds of mouths without eyes; a new mouth can be formed at any area through this monsters own will. Hundred Eater had first been featured when Haru and the others were present in a large cave earthquake resulting in the ground forming vertically with the Rave Master hanging on the side rocks to prevent his fall. When the conflict had begun with the Hundred Eater, many varied attempts had been made towards escape. Let started off by unleashing his fire breath to burn away a section of the monster; a result that only allowed for another smaller mouth to form and cover Let's mouth - effectively ceasing his breath. After Haru eventually found an opening in this monster, he was able to unleash his Blue Crimson technique which greatly scarred Hundred Eater. Before Haru and the others make their escape by climbing further up the cave's vertical walls, Haru throws all of their food at the incredibly hungry beast. After the Hundred Eater gives one last grin of happiness, Haru and the others finally find the exit to the Dark Bring Cave.

Beauty Pop

Plot

Kiri Koshiba uses her hairstyling talents to help brighten up the lives of girls, but she does so anonymously. On the other hand the Scissors Project (also known as the SP), a group of three boys at school, gives grand makeovers to already-beautiful handpicked girls. Shogo Narumi, the head of the group and a hairstyling genius in his own right, finds himself butting heads with Kiri. To make matters worse, Ochiai, another member of SP, plots to expose Kiri's talents. As much as Kiri tries to shy away from the spotlight, she finds herself drawn into the world of hairstyling.

Characters

Kiri Koshiba with her cat, Shampoo

Kiri Koshiba ( , Koshiba Kiri?)

A naturally gifted hair stylist with a strong sense of justice, leading her to give makeovers to girls with certain problems and giving them, as she puts it, "a little magic." Her family owns a beauty salon. She cut her own hair in a layered bob and quit cutting hair as a result of accidentally cutting her mother's ear while styling her hair when she was much younger. The accident left Kiri with a mental scar which continues to haunt her. Kiri is also afraid of cockroaches and the dark.

Though Kiri is initially confused about what she wants to do with her future, she eventually decides to become a beautician, but has no interest in pursuing fame with her talent. In Beauty Pop Stage 2, she joins the Scissor Project as Narumi's assistant hairdresser.

Kiri tends to be extremely laid back and absent minded. Narumi and Kiri's relationship is rocky at first, but Kiri warms up to him after he saves Shampoo from getting run over by a bicycle, consequently damaging his wrist. The ending of the series shows that ten years later, Kiri returns to Japan after a short stint with her mother in LA and has married Narumi; they have fraternal twins (a girl and a boy). The boy (who looks like Narumi) acts more like Kiri while the girl (who looks like Kiri) acts like her dad.

Shogo Narumi ( , Narumi Shgo ?)

The vain, handsome, and temperamental main hair stylist of the Scissors Project. Although he is fiercely competitive in comparison to the majority of the other characters, he is the most amenable member of his own family.

Narumi is extremely popular with girls, but he does not appear interested partly due to a slight fear of girls. Since Narumi was young, girls treated him like a toy and suffocated him with too much attention. According to his sister Chisami, Narumi breaks out in hives when he touches women. He is able to touch Kiri without any detrimental effects however. Narumi eventually develops feelings for Kiri, having romantic dreams about her and even accidentally kissing her at the end of volume 8. He even stays with Kiri to comfort her and watch over the house in volume 9.

Narumi aims to be the top hair-stylist in Japan and has won every national hairstyling competition for seven years. The only time he has ever lost a competition is ten years ago, when he was defeated by a mysterious little girl 'Number 17', later revealed to be Kiri. Ultimately, Narumi and the crew from the Scissors Project officially open up a renowned and popular salon known as Scissors Project. He also marries Kiri and has fraternal twins (a boy and a girl). The girl acts more like him while the boy acts more like his mother.

Kazuhiko Ochiai ( , Ochiai Kazuhiko?)

The overall beauty consultant of the group. He is the brains behind the operation and acts like a human computer, with "data" on every girl in the school. He is also responsible for make-up on the team, and is aided by the products from his parents' company. He is also at the top of his class. Ochiai has an older sister and a younger brother; all members of his family wear glasses, even his bird.

Ochiai loves to tease Narumi and is often scheming. Later in the story, Ochiai develops a crush on Kiri. He chases after her and even has Kiri's picture as his cell phone's wallpaper. In the end, although Narumi and Kiri have married, he still refuses to give up on her, even teaching Kiri and Narumi's kids to call him "daddy". He also often schedules appointments after hours for Narumi to prevent him from going home to Kiri so that Ochiai can gladly go in his place.

Kei Minami ( , Minami Kei?)

The member of the Scissors Project that does nail art. Kei is playful and is often seen eating junk food and candy. Kei likes to come up with nicknames for his friends like 'Naru-Naru' and 'Narurin' for Narumi while he calls Ochiai 'Occhi'. He also serves as emcee for any Scissors Project event, announcing the model and occasionally commenting while Narumi cuts. He hardly ever wears his school uniform and wears a visor sideways on his head.

Kei is not good at spelling, one time receiving a "5%" on his spelling test. Because of this, a Scissor Project's model and love scheme on one girl failed, because he incorrectly spelled the model's crush's name. In actuality, Kei is very mysterious, revealing little about himself, and is more observant that Narumi and Ochiai expect him to be. Somehow Kei has the ability to know what and when things happen, even if he is not present (including Narumi's dreams about Kiri). His snooping sense is even better than Ochiai's. The ending shows Kei escorting Narumi and Kiri's twins back to the Koshiba's Beauty Salon for lunch.

Kanako Aoyama ( , Aoyama Kanako?)

A friend of Kiri's who admires her talents. Kanako tends to be quite shy and bookish. When she was rejected by Kazuhiko Ochiai, Kiri gave her a makeover to teach the Scissors Project a lesson. After SP's initial model in the final competition backs out, she ends up filling in. Kiri correctly states that, although she looks plain, Kanako has perfect hair, skin, and nails, and therefore is the perfect model. Her "Ordinary girl in love" look wins in the end, over the more glamorous models of the other teams. She and Kenichiro are expecting their first child at the end of the series.

Taro Komatsu ( , Komatsu Tar?)

Kiri's childhood friend and neighbor. Kiri calls him "Shimatarou" or "Taro-Tard", which annoys him very much. Taro is a big fan of the Scissor Project and wants to be a beautician because of them, even though he lacks the skill. He works part-time at his family's store, The Komatsu 88 Yen Store. He is very nosy and knows everything that goes on around the school.

"Shampoo" (, Shanp?)

Kiri's fat pet cat. Shampoo was first a stray who would not trust anyone, having a bad past. When she met Kiri, Shampoo scratched her hand. However, she realizes that Kiri was not like the other people that she had seen, who had been mean and heartless. Shampoo shed tears and was taken home by Kiri.

Iori Minamoto ( , Minamoto Iori?)

Kiri's childhood friend who recently moved back to Japan from New York. His father specializes in making aromatherapy oils and perfumes. He is apparently in love with Kiri's mom and is very affectionate of Kiri. Iori sometimes speaks with broken Japanese, including random English words. He often uses 'me' or 'you' in such statements as 'me will do it for the ladies!' or 'you is safe with me, Kiri!' He ends up engaged to Chisami at the end, despite their constant bickering.

Seiji Koshiba ( , Koshiba Seiji?)

Kiri's father owns the Koshiba Beauty Salon and was the one to train Kiri in the art of hairstyling. Seiji used to be an idol among hairstylists in his generation and always defeated Shogo Narumi's father in competitions, but left the spotlight once he got married. Kiri looked up to her father when she was younger and wanted to cut hair like him. Kiri gained her speed cutting skills from her father. Seiji wishes for Kiri to become a beautician like him.

Emi Koshiba ( , Koshiba Emi?)

Kiri's mother is a famous special effects make-up artist in Hollywood. Even after years of Emi living in LA, Emi and Seiji's marriage has never been strained and the two keep in touch through email. Despite being a kind person, she turns very fierce and somewhat unreasonable once someone threatens Kiri. Iori usually calls her by the name "Emily."

Kenichiro Seki ( , Seki Ken'ichir?)

Kiri's childhood friend. He is highly regarded as part of the Seki Clinic which specializes in invigorating massage. He helps Kiri regain her composure in a tight spot and is like an older brother to her. He tends to apologize often. Kenichiro seems to have a different attitude after just a bit of alcohol. Kenichiro ends up with Kiri's good friend Kanako, and ten years later, they are expecting their first child.

Chisami Narumi ( , Narumi Chisami?)

Narumi's younger sister, who Kiri indifferently "saves" one day when her hair was tangled in a bush. Because of this, Chisami seems to think that Kiri is her Prince Charming (as she thought Kiri was a boy). She later finds out that Kiri is a girl, but she still admires her and refers to her as Prince-sama. In the end, she ends engaged to Iori, though they still argue often.

Billy Iketani ( , Bir Iketani?)

A famous cute hairstylist from LA who is always shown with headphones around his neck. Billy works for Narumi's father. Billy takes the legendary Golden Scissors away from Kiri on Narumi's father's orders, but later on returns them.
