History

Showa era

Latitude Zero

The Black Shark was piloted by Captain Kroiga, an evil servant of Dr. Malic. It was first seen attacking the Alpha on its way back to Latitude Zero. The Black Shark's demise was after Malic transplanted Kroiga's brain into a lion. Wanting to get revenge on Malic for taking away her human body, Kroiga, now the monster Griffon, attacked the Black Shark. The lion managed to knock off the ship's laser turret which discharged at a mountainside, causing an avalanche that buried it and the ship.

Capabilities

Torpedos

While chasing after the Alpha, the Black Shark fired off two torpedos towards the submersible.

Search Missiles

After losing sight of the Alpha, the Black Shark fired two white Search Missiles from its front. These missiles were able to lock on and mimic the exact movements the submersible made due to being able to follow its heat path.

Laser Cannon

The Black Shark possesses a retractable Laser Cannon, also called a Laser Gun, at its top. It fires a thin blue beam.

Cannon

The Black Shark possesses a regular cannon at its top, which was used to blow up chunks of the mountains that made up Blood Rock in an attempt to kill the crew of the Alpha.
