Dark Bring

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dark Bring (Shadow Stones in the English anime) are evil magical stones from the Japanese Anime show and Manga series, Groove Adventure Rave (called Rave Master in the American version). These stones are utilized by many antagonist in the series, but are mainly used by the criminal organization known as Demon Card. The Goal for the protagonist, Haru Glory, is to collect all the RAVE stones and destroy the mother dark bring Sinclaire. Based on their level of power, Dark Bring's are separated into different groups. If a person uses Dark Bring too much, it will turn the user into evil, even if the user is good at heart or use it for good.

The subject of the article is the main weapon used by the antagonists in the series. The list of these weapons is far too long to be added onto the already long page, so it is necessary to create a new page for them.

[edit] Mother Dark Bring,Sinclaire

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 cause the Overdrive. According to Franken Billy in Rave Master manga volume 10, Sinclaire is the Dark Bring of the gods.

  • 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 utilized by Lucia Raregroove.
  • Vampire - this Dark Bring has control over gravity and repulsion, allowing the user to either draw in the enemy or push him 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 utilized by Pumpkin Doryu, but is now in the possession of the RAVE warriors.
  • Last Physics - the invulnerability Dark Bring prevents the owner from being harmed by any physical attack, even 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 is utilized by Commander Ogre, but is now in the possession of Demon Card.
  • Unknown - Utilized by Captain Hardner, the name and power of this Dark Bring are still unknown. The Dark Bring is made into a necklace and the Dark Bring itself is similar to a chequered egg. 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. Drawback is that the user has to have enough energy to utilize its powers
  • Unknown - Utilized by Demon Lord Ashura, the name and power of this Dark Bring are still unknown.

[edit] Six Star Shadow Stones

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

  • Ballettänzer Zeffrea - the flame six star dark bring utilized by Bakuen no 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. Ballettänzer Zeffrea is translated into Explosive Flame Ballet in Vol. 20, and harnesses the power of fire.
  • White Kiss - the alchemy six star dark bring utilized by Reina. This dark bring is able to create metal (in this case, silver) from literatly 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 utilized 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, ygdrassil was simply a black stone in a circular handheld metal piece. When seen again in Vol. 19, it is then warn 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 utilized by Iulius. This dark bring is able to temporarily "freeze" enemies in their tracks, shape itself into an ice sword, and incase 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 incased in jagged ice after being thrown.
  • The Earth - the earth six star dark bring utilized 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. The Earth obviously harnesses the power of earth.
  • Zero Stream - the "flow" six star dark bring utilized 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, it's 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.
  • Unknown - Utilized by Haja, the name and power of this dark bring are still unknown.
