| abstract | - The leader of the Dark B-Da, Dark Koutei is an evil being who appears in the form of a giant eye. He was thwarted once long ago, according to the legend of the seven heroes (which was shown in the first two episodes of the series). He has now returned and plans to take over the world and the entire Blue Solar System and subject them to his rule. The origins of the Dark B-Da are unknown but it is possible they came from a different universe, considering the strange world in which they live which is shown in various scenes throughout the show. Dark Koutei is the most powerful villain that the heroes face in the series. Throughout most of BB-Daman Bakugaiden he is shown in his giant eye form, residing in an alternate dimension which seems to be the Dark B-Da's base of operations. Malicious, ruthless and menacing, he does not readily tolerate failure. As a result, he keeps minions who have failed him imprisoned in stone cells that float around space, resembling a cluster of asteroids. He has many Dark B-Da subordinates who serve him, but the strongest of them are an elite group of four warriors known as the Four Great Dark Beings (四天王 Shitennou), consisting of: Drakken, Tiger, Shuringe and Sildork. They all pilot their own Dark Armors and are sent one after another to destroy the heroes defending their home of B-Da City and conquer Earth. He also has a "son" by the name of Dark Prince who is very strong; somehow he has a mysterious connection to Black Bomber.
