Description

Evil (Sabre)2.png
Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu (Japanese), Paul Schrier (English)

Japanese name: Shinya Aiba (相羽 シンヤ Aiba Shin'ya)/Tekkaman Evil (テッカマンエビル Tekkaman Ebiru)
English name: Cain Carter/Teknoman Sabre
Takaya's twin brother. Evil (Sabre) believes that only one of them can exist because of his disillusioned memory; this drives Evil (Sabre) to become more concerned with defeating his brother than with the invasion of Earth and this gradually becomes an obsession. As Blade becomes more powerful, Evil (Sabre) receives a power increase from Omega (Darkon).
The truth is that the source of Evil's (Sabre's) grudge against Blade in particular, even before the Radam (Venomoid) invasion, was because he was shown to be resented or looked down on by his father. Not only was he 'helped' during survival training which made him think he only got help because he was inferior, but also during the Burning Clock OVA where he was blamed for his mother's death. Shinya Aiba (Cain Carter) developed an inferiority/perfection complex long before he was taken control of by the Radam (Venomoid), which only amplified his feelings into direct hatred towards those he held responsible for it.
Evil (Sabre) seeks to destroy Blade on an equal footing to prove that he can beat him, and in the final battle, when Blade is overcome by his 30-minute limit, Evil (Sabre) allows him to recover before resuming battle. In the battle that ensues Blade eventually impales Evil (Sabre), holding him in his arms as he dies. Evil (Sabre) redeems himself by handing Blade his crystal, explaining that he will need its power to defeat Omega (Darkon). It is revealed that the Radam (Venomoid) Tekkaman (Teknoman) were only working for the Radam (Venomoid) because of a parasite that was implanted into their minds to maintain their loyalty to the Radam's (Venomoid's) cause.
