The Dark Kingdom (ダーク・ã‚ングダム, DÄ ku Kingudamu) is a
group of fictional characters in the Sailor Moon manga series by Naoko
Takeuchi. They are the chief antagonists of the first story arc in
every version of the series, and were first introduced in the first
chapter of the manga, "Usagi â€" Sailor Moon", originally published in
Japan's Nakayoshi on 28 December 1991. In some English adaptations,
the Dark Kingdom's title was changed to Negaverse.In each variation of
the series, the charactersâ€"led by Queen Berylâ€"attempt to steal
life energy from humans and the Silver Crystal so they can release the
evil Queen Metaria, who was imprisoned by Queen Serenity during the
destruction of the Moon Kingdom during the Silver Millennium
period.The Dark Kingdom is first referenced in Naoko Takeuchi's
Codename: Sailor V, which features Sailor Venus as the main character,
who confronts a group of villains called the Dark Agency. In the final
volume of Codename: Sailor V, the Dark Agency is revealed to be a
subset of the Dark Kingdom, which leads to the beginning of Sailor
Moon. Takeuchi developed the Sailor Moon series and the Dark Kingdom
when Codename: Sailor V was first proposed for an anime adaptation.
The idea was ultimately dropped, but Sailor Venus became part of a new
group alongside Sailors Moon, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter, and instead
of fighting the Dark Agency, they fought the Dark Kingdom.
