X8NavigatorAlertIconEdit This section requires expansion.

Blackbeard has gray hair and beard. He wears a blue overall, a white shirt with red stripes, white gloves, black boots and a white cap.

Personality[]

Blackbeard is a very cruel, selfish and arrogant man with little concern of others' well being. He harshly mistreated animals with dangerous practices, justifying them as a "show" or "entertainment" for the audience, when it was pure violence.

Not even humans are safe from him as he unleashes all the animals from Aquarium, including life-endangering ones like alligators, sharks and piranhas to run amok and feeling amusement at what it felt people running for their lives, showing he is utterly sadistic to both animals and human alike.

He greatly dislikes opposition as he was infuriated when the Director fired him for his violence and when Lan stopped his plans, becoming increasingly more aggressive. Similarly, he also threatened Prosecutor Ito for going back on the deal when he had him punished for his selfishness, due to being led to believe that he was supposed to be found not guilty.

History[]

Mega Man Battle Network 6[]

Blackbeard was an animal trainer, although he was especially cruel and harsh to the animals, feeling it generated a lot more excitement. Several things he put the animals through included having the dolphins jump through rings of fire and having the elephant seals lift hundred ton weights. It's because of this treatment of the local animals that one of the penguins, Plata, fled from the aquarium.

He first appears outside the aquarium of Seaside Town, having been fired for cruelty to the animals. As revenge, he then hacks into the aquarium's network and releases all the animals, creating a huge panic, and thus also creating a show that he feels is a good one. However, Lan and MegaMan defeat him and return all the animals to their cages. Blackbeard then runs away and takes Mick hostage. But, the timely arrival of an elephant seal with the lead of Plata the penguin holds him down until he can be arrested.

He stands trial in Green Town and is found guilty (from Lan's testimony) and is sentenced to the punishment room for an indefinite time; although, he threatens Prosecutor Ito citing that wasn't part of the deal (implying that Ito was supposed to have him found not guilty). He is later released, and along with Joe Mach, uses BlastMan and DiveMan to kidnap Roll, GutsMan, and Glyde to lure MegaMan to the Undernet. They are defeated, but MegaMan is also captured. Blackbeard joins Ito, Vic, and Yuika in splitting from the WWW and attempt to use MegaMan for themselves. In a meeting with Mayor Cain, he is discovered by Lan and they attempt to kill him when Chaud arrives and arrests them both.

Trivia[]

  • Both his English and Japanese names originated from the legendary pirate Blackbeard. Kurohige is a literal Japanese translation of Blackbeard.
    • Likewise, in the English localization, befitting the pirate/nautical motif, he spoke with a Bristolian accent.
  • Several personality traits, as well as his plans involving creating chaos involving animals going wild at their habitats to the horror of the tourists is similar to that of Takeo Inukai from Mega Man Battle Network 3.
  • Blackbeard's in-game artwork shows him with what appears to be missing upper teeth, something not seen in his official artwork, though the gap is present in his concept art.
