Biography[]
Dark End's creation was commenced since the beginning of the third season by the alien warlord Delia, who wished to use them as a weapon to conquer the universe. Since Delia isn't as versed in genetic engineering as her colleague Jumba, who has created 629 original experiments, Delia kidnaps scientists across the universe to help create them in the episode ''Boss'', in which Delia's minion Hämsterviel is using a modified experiment Dupe to help subdue Stitch, for Delia's plot to weaponize him. However, due to continued failure Delia, steals an experiment power cell created by Jumba to use it in Dark End and bring them to life.
Hämsterviel modifies Dupe's abilities, as opposed to his standard of making weaker clones of his target, the clones become stronger and advanced. However, the plan becomes flawed when four clones of Stitch turn evil and decide to dominate the others, imprisoning Dupe to prevent further cloning Stitch however convinces the clones to help him do good, but they become arrogant and chose to fight Delia's new experiment to do so. They imprison Hämsterviel, Gantu, and Reuben, and fly to Delia's space station. Delia completes Dark End and uses the Stitch clones as a test. Dark End confronts the clones in an enclosed room and asks if they should make rules before fighting. The clones laugh at their high-pitched voice and take them like a joke, but Dark End transforms and radiates before instantly knocking out all four and fatally wounding them.
In the next episode, Delia declares war on Earth hoping to control it in her quest for domination. Her ship lands at a stadium where Yuna's school is playing soccer. Hämsterviel, Gantu, and Reuben land presenting Dark End, who is sent to terminate Stitch to keep him out of Delia's plans. Dark End challenges him to many duels but Stitch finds them severely outmatched due to their powers, but Jumba and Pleakley bring several experiments to confront them. All the experiments and Stitch's friends who participate are defeated but Stitch's resilience frustrates Dark End. Dark End transforms into a stronger form and blasts Stitch with energy, knocking him out. Stitch is fatally hurt but his friends' motivating him wakes him up, and suddenly a burst of green energy radiates from Stitch's power cell, resulting from his emotions and powering him up. Dark End tries to kill Stitch with energy, but it has no effect, instead being thrown back by a blast from him. Stitch also throws them into the hull of Delia's ship, leading them falling down to the surface and being contained by Jumba. Delia, as well as her allies, are arrested by the Galactic Council.
Personality[]
Dark End behaves cute, charming, and nice, but it's just a deliberate mask to hide their true nature. Dark End enjoys inflicting pain and hurt on others as well as chaos and destruction, as intended by Delia's programming. Ironically, Dark End not only behaves nicely but also heavily values manners, politeness, and following of rules despite their complete and utter tolerance for evil.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Superhuman strength and invulnerability: Dark End has the standard superhuman abilities including the ones identical to Stitch but heavily upgraded. They are incredibly strong, enough to cause tremors and shatter glass, and is durable to damage.
- Flight and gliding: Dark End can use their ears to hover or glide. They are also immovable even in the air.
- Teleportation: Dark End can teleport short distances.
- Energy blasts: Dark End can radiate and produce destructive energy blasts from their hands and from their body when they transforms.
Trivia[]
- Dark End is the first and only experiment to be created by Delia, as such they are also one of only two experiments without a number, since Jumba didn't create them (the other being Skunkuna, an experiment created by Hämsterviel). However, they can technically be considered Experiment 001 for Delia. Technically, Cyber can also count as a numberless experiment, since Jumba created him before he started assigning numbers to his experiments (despite him being nicknamed ''Experiment Zero'' in the episode he appears).
- Dark End is a girl in the original Japanese version and a boy in the English dub.
