History

F-Zero Farukon Densetsu (Anime)

2201

Bibiribitch was first introduced in Lap 4 - Calling On Samurai Goroh, as a space pirate claiming to be "Samurai Goroh." Bibiribitch's gang was responsible for attacking a transport ship and stealing its treasures, which included a rare medicine for sick children. After Ryu turned down helping Reina to retrieve her mother's rare diamond, Bibiribitch's gang stepped in to offer their assistance by taking her to "Goroh." In turn, Reina would cause some trouble for the gang, seemingly by accident, helping out Ryu and the real Samurai Goroh in the process.

At Bibiribitch's fortress, Reina eagerly agreed to give her family's diamonds to Bibiribitch in exchange for assisting her. However, one of Bibiribitch's men blew his cover with a slip up of his real name, while also warning him that they had company. Although Bibiribitch tried to assure Reina that he was the real Samurai Goroh, the actual Samurai Goroh arrived alongside Ryu. Goroh and Ryu made their demands for Bibiribitch to drop the act and return the medicine respectively. Bibiribitch trapped both of them in cages, but Reina distracted him, allowing for the real Samurai Goroh to break out of his cage. Bibiribitch questioned the other's identity, only to realize that he was dealing with the real Samurai Goroh. Reina also revealed herself to be Sasuke, a ninja in the real Samurai Goroh's bandit crew.

Goroh then challenged Bibiribitch to take his name from him, but one of Bibiribitch's men set off a detonator in the fortress earlier than intended. As the fortress began to collapse, Goroh freed Ryu from his cage and saved him from the oncoming debris. Sasuke fired rockets at the gang to deter them from making an escape, and Goroh sliced their ship in half with his Broken Sword Technique. Bibiribitch and his gang somehow managed to flee the scene, though their stolen goods were retrieved by Goroh and Sasuke, and their fortress ultimately exploded. Goroh would end up leaving the stolen medicine behind for Ryu.

2202

Bibiribitch and his gang reappeared in Lap 25 - Super Substance Reactor Might!. They answered to Zoda's 100 million credit bounty on Samurai Goroh's wife, Lisa Brilliant, for her Reactor Might. Before she was taken by the other space pirates, Lisa managed to send the Reactor Might to her husband. She would then escape her captors by using her looks to her advantage, knocking Bibiribitch's men out as they entered her cell. When Zoda held Goroh and Ryu at gunpoint, Lisa then called Zoda's attention by holding her weapon to Bibiribitch's neck. She threatened to kill him if Zoda didn't comply. However, Zoda dismissed this, stating that Bibiribitch was useless to him. Goroh knocked the gun out of Zoda's hand, but in turn was shot twice. As Lisa checked on her husband, Ryu led Zoda on a chase for the Reactor Might, all while Bibiribitch stood and watched. After the Dark Million battleship exploded, Goroh's gang returned to Cryton. Bibiribitch and his gang were also seen, tied up.

In Lap 49 - The 150 Year Duel, when Lisa Brilliant came to her husband's aid again, Bibiribitch and his gang could be seen assisting her, wearing pink outfits to signify their alliance.

Trivia

• Bibiribitch's name has been mistakenly interpreted as Bibilin / Bibilan or Bibirichi by Dreadopp and Zedopp's fan subs for the anime, and for ragey0's blog, the latter of which covers ragey0's own written episode summaries for the anime.
  • The katakana for Lap 4's credits has the name written out as ビビリビッチ, the romaji being Bibiribitchi. A translator by the name of "Mags" in the F-Zero Nexus Discord claims that the name is most likely meant to be translated as "Bibiribitch."
  • "Bibiri" is apparently used to refer to a coward, and the latter half of the name is self-explanatory in the English language.
  • The 4Kids English Dub refers to him as "Biribichi," contrary to the main F-Zero FANDOM wiki claiming that it is "Vidion."
