- Darkness

Darkness (ダークネス), also referred to as Evil Shunichi (悪の), is the final antagonist of Silver NX.

Raised in a harsh environment with mental trauma, Darkness grew up to be a hate-filled individual. As a child, he once visited a museum during a school trip and came in contact with a medieval sword, which housed the spirit of Epsilon and caused it to take residence within his body. After being sent into a coma and rendered an amnesiac, the spirit of Epsilon awakened and assumed his life, unaware of the truth.

Darkness awoke, however, and was initially believed to be Shunichi/Epsilon's second personality, regaining control of his body to combat opponents during times of stress, with Epsilon and his friends initially unaware of his existence. With the re-acquisition of the Sword of Destiny, it was eventually revealed that Shunichi was actually the spirit of Epsilon, and that Darkness was the true Shunichi Takahashi.

After defeating Theodore Heinrich and his forces, the two personalities were separated by the Twilight Note. The two were taken to the Forgotten Realm, where Darkness had to face Epsilon in a final battle to remain on earth.
