Although the Kiseibya proved effective against the Daleks (although vulnerable to most weapons, the speed of the Kisaabya's gestation and reproduction, coupled with their ferocity in attack, helped to counter that weakness), the Seventh Doctor was unnerved by the similarities between Shimura and Davros's research.

| - Although the Kiseibya proved effective against the Daleks (although vulnerable to most weapons, the speed of the Kisaabya's gestation and reproduction, coupled with their ferocity in attack, helped to counter that weakness), the Seventh Doctor was unnerved by the similarities between Shimura and Davros's research. Both had created a new race to "save" theirs from a prolonged war. Both were unprepared for their creations' unwillingness to obey them. Shimura protested that his creations would stop the Daleks and save mankind, but the fact that the name "Kiseibya" means "parasitic saviour" in the Japanese language suggested to the Doctor that Shimura knew what he was doing was ethically conflicted from the beginning. As the Daleks invaded the facility, killing the Valkyrie unit, the Kiseibya attacked the Daleks, tearing through a Dalek platoon, leaving the Black Dalek — now infested with Kiseibya eggs — as the only survivor when the Doctor arrived. Recognising the horror of the Kiseibya, he realised that he actually felt sorry for the Black Dalek. With the Valkyrie unit now dead, the Doctor, having confirmed that the Kiseibya's piranha locust nature would drive them to procreate so they could survive on Bliss, programmed the Black Dalek's damaged casing to self-destruct — with the Dalek's permission — while positioning it beside the base's power cells. The remaining Daleks on planet ordered their ship to depart to prevent the Kiseibya spreading before exterminating themselves. The Doctor departed the base before the Black Dalek exploded, destroying the facility and the Kiseibya: the very atrocity that history recorded would take place. (AUDIO: Enemy of the Daleks)
