| - Sthertoth is an evil demon who was formed when the Angel of Light and Shadow split into two halves: A goddess (Mihaele) and a demon. Sthertoth brought darkness to the universe, but was stopped when Mihaele gathered warriors to fight Sthertoth, and sealed him away inside the Celestial Stone and hid it on Planet Kaos. Unfortunately, two space pirates, Lilith and Rukifellth, found the Stone while exploring Kaos for treasure, and when Rukifellth touched it, Sthertoth possessed him. Under Sthertoth's control, Rukifellth brainwashed all the Elemental Knights to become the evil Astral Knights. They had all the Elemental Stones except the Fire Stone, which Bomberman had with him. One by one, the Astral Knights fell. By the time the Warship Noah became available for docking, only Zoniha and "Bulzeeb" (who was really Bomberman's old rival Regulus) were left. Bomberman and Pommy entered the Warship Noah, where Mihaele took full control of Lilith's body. Soon afterward, Rukifellth learned of Bulzeeb's intentions and took him out with his own Gravity Sphere. After being defeated by Bomberman, Rukifellth revealed that it did not matter whether the Astral Knights beat Bomberman or lost to him — either way, he still gathered the stones in front of the Celestial Stone. He used the opportunity to transform into Sthertoth, the Demon of the Dark. Bomberman defeated Sthertoth, who then attempted release his full power and use a black sphere to finish off Bomberman, but Mihaele showed up. When Sthertoth said he would destroy her as well, his move was countered by Mihaele's white orb and he was trapped. Mihaele explained to Bomberman that they would reform to destroy the universe and recreate it unless Bomberman was strong enough to defeat them, and Mihaele combined with Sthertoth to form the Angel of Light and Shadow again. Once defeated by Bomberman, the Angel realized that Bomberman would defend the universe. Warning that it would reshape the universe if hope if lost by the next time it awakened, it vanished to lie dormant, releasing Lilith and Rukifellth and bringing all the Astral Knights back to life as their Elemental Knight selves, returning the Elemental Stones. In an alternate ending, which occurs if Bomberman enters the Warship Noah without the Light and Shadow Stones, or if he is defeated by Lilith's Bludgeoning Blow (which results in Mihaele taking the Elementals' powers for her own), Sthertoth acted more confidently, realizing that Mihaele had the remaining power of the Elementals and anticipating her. Mihaele instead used a black sphere similar to Sthertoth's own to defeat him, but it ultimately had no effect as he gathered the stones to break the seal. He sent Lilith away in darkness, promising to imprison Mihaele in the Celestial Stone once he dealt with Bomberman. He then transformed into his earthly body, the giant and sinister Sthertoth, God of Chaos. Once defeated by Bomberman, he lost his power and disappeared, relinquishing Lilith and Rukifellth. However, he suddenly managed to take over Rukifellth's body with the last of his strength, briefly resuming his true form as he attempted to take everyone down with him in an explosion. The three teleported to the main hangar, but Lilith chose to remain behind because she couldn't bring herself to leave Rukifellth's side, so she went back to that room and closed the portal. Bomberman and Pommy escaped as a bright flash engulfed the screen, presumably taking down the entire Warship Noah and everything still in it.
- The Bomberman universe was created by the Angel of Light and Shadow, who was somehow split into two halves: A goddess named Mihaele, and a demon called Sthertoth. Sthertoth brought darkness to the universe, but Mihaele gathered warriors to fight the darkness and seal Sthertoth away in the Celestial Stone. She then hid the stone on Planet Kaos to prevent anyone from finding it. Unfortunately, two space pirates named Lilith and Rukifellth arrived and found the stone. When Rukifellth touched it, his body was taken over by Sthertoth. He brainwashed the seven Elemental Knights, Baelfael, Behemos, Ashtarth, Zhael, Molok, Zoniha, and Regulus (Bomberman's rival, and with the brainwashing, he is renamed Bulzeeb), and collected all the stones except the Fire Stone, which Bomberman had in his possession. Soon, Bomberman arrived and fought against Rukifellth's BHB Army, and defeated all the Astral Knights (the brainwashed Elemental Knights). Of the seven, Bulzeeb survived but was defeated by Rukifellth, and gave his power to Bomberman before Rukifellth killed him with a Gravity Sphere. Bomberman faced Rukifellth and defeated him, but with all seven Elemental Stones brought to him, Rukifellth revealed his true plan: To let Bomberman collect the stones and bring them to him. Whether he beat the Astral Knights or lost to them, it didn't matter - either way he still got the stones. He uses them to transform into Sthertoth, Demon of the Dark. Sthertoth's appearance is a demon with claws, spikes on his shoulder, reddish brown skin, a white, slightly skull-like face, horns, and a mohawk. For all his power, Sthertoth isn't really that hard, although he does take a lot of hit points. After Sthertoth was defeated, he tried to suck the universe into endless darkness, but Mihaele stopped him and trapped him in an orb of light, and then reunited with him, turning them back into the Angel of Light and Shadow. The angel wanted to destroy the entire universe and create it anew, but Bomberman fought him and defeated him. The angel decided that Bomberman could protect the universe and that it still had hope, and vanished, returning Lilith and Rukifellth to normal and bringing all the Elemental Knights back to life. The Angel's gender is a subject of debate. It sounds like and is referred to by many fans as a male, but at one point, Regulus says, referring to the angel, "It looks like she brought all the Elemental Knights back to life." Also, the angel uses the pronouns "We" instead of "I".
