Darkwing Duck: Negaduck's Birthday

Has anyone heard of a lost episode of Darkwing Duck? Not many Darkwing Duck fans know if it exists, neither did I. I was a big fan of Darkwing Duck when I was a kid. However, I know there was an banned episode called, Hot Spells. It was banned because, it has to do with like the devil. It was shown once and was never aired again. However, it can be seen on Youtube. But, there was one lost episode of Darkwing Duck suffered the same fate but, very off. The story begins a week back…

Last week, it was near the end of spring and I was on my computer, looking up about lost episodes since, I have been interested into them. There were fake but, I was interested into them. I wondered why is there no lost episodes of Darkwing Duck. So, I went on to Negaverse Forums which was a Darkwing Duck forum. I made a topic about lost episodes of Darkwing Duck. I posted on to the forums and waited for responses. I waited for awhile and soon, 5 replies were on my topic. 4 of them say there is none. I checked the last response. It said, he has the lost episode on a VHS tape that he recorded off on TV since he wanted to record Darkwing Duck episodes when it was on TV at the time. I replied back to him if he send me the tape. Few minutes later, he said yes and he will need the address for it. I messaged him the address and I waited for awhile.

2 days passed, I saw the package in my mailbox. I toke it inside and I placed on the counter. I cut the box open. I opened the box to find the tape. With markings too! The markings said,

“Darkwing Duck

Season 4 Episode 1

January 4th, 1993

Negaduck’s Birthday

The Lost Episode”

By at this point, I am getting curious to see what the episode has. I went over my TV and I forgot I sold the VHS player for more space in TV set. I thought, “How am I going to play this tape.” I remembered that my friend has a VHS player. So, I went to phone and dialled his number. I waited for 5 seconds until I hear my friend picking up the phone. I told him that I have VHS tape that we can watch and I asked if he wants watch. He said sure and we both hung up phone. I got out of my house and I went to my car. I drove to my friend’s house.

A minute later, I arrived at my friend’s house. I still have the VHS tape in my hands. I rang the doorbell. He open the door and greeted me in. He toke to his TV with the VHS player. He sat down and I placed tape into VHS player. I sat on his couch and My friend tune it the output where the VHS player is. The tape begin with the promos for the shows at the time from Disney Afternoon and it showed the up coming next. Darkwing Duck was at first. After that, the show intro begin normally. It has the tune but, one thing caught my eye was Negaduck’s face. Before Darkwing falls and cuts to the next clip from the show, I rewinded back and pause it. Negaduck’s face wasn’t angry or have the evil face he usually has. He had a very depressed face like he is actually sad. This was never in the original intro. I continued the tape. The intro finishes and show us the St. Canard skyline and has a very different sky. Like it was a photo of the night sky. As if they want a new type animation for Darkwing which is strange and the animation. The title of the episode fade in showing “Negaduck’s Birthday” It zoomed into the city and zoomed into a window of a warehouse. Negaduck was sitting at a dining table with a cake. Negaduck was depressed and his head was down but, facing at the cake. Negaduck sang the Happy Birthday Song but, in a sad tune. This felt out of character for Negaduck since, he is usually evil. He tried to act sad in a episode where he tried to seduce Morganna to working with him. The audio was quiet so, my friend had to turn the volume up. There was no music either. Just sound effects. Negaduck blew the candles, put his head down and cried. The scene blacked out and changed to Negaduck strapped to a chair surrounded in darkness. “What the hell is going now?” I said. My friend said, “I have no idea.” Then, Darkwing walked out of the darkness with very angry look. He was like very pissed off. Why was he that pissed off? He went up to Negaduck and started beating him up and he was beating shit out of Negaduck and started water boating with cold water. He kicked him some more. Darkwing duck picked up the chair and threw him like a wrestler. “Jesus! When does Darkwing have the ability and throw people in a fucking chair?” said by me and my friend when we saw Darkwing threw Negaduck in a chair. After, Negaduck starts crying in pain, Darkwing yells at him saying “I will kill you if you dare wondered the streets!” and Darkwing walked away. The remainder of the scene is Negaduck just crying in pain. What the flying fuck just happened? I just say my hero tortured Negaduck in the most disturbing way. The scene faded to black and a flash of scene of Negaduck crying on a couch from the episode I mention earlier. The next scene showed the Mallard residences with once again, a photo of the daylight sky as the sky. It faded to the living room of the house. Drake was lying on the couch, sleeping and with a very angrier mood. What is his problem? and Launchpad wasn’t present in the scene either. Did Launchpad pissed off Darkwing that bad? Hell, if I know. Gosayln came down the stairs and went up to Drake. There was no sound or music in the scene as if I muted the TV. The TV volume was up and there was only dead silence in the scene. Gosalyn woke Drake and Drake’s eyes open without a animation and Drake got up immediately with no animation of him getting up and choked Gosalyn and start beating the living hell out of Gosalyn. He started using a knife and start stabbing her and slicing her up. There was no sound in this either. All we have is the violent scene of Darkwing murdering Gosalyn. After 2 minutes, the violent scene finally ends. It doesn’t show what did Darkwing do with Gosalyn. He gets on the chair, pressed the head of a idol and the chairs spins and Darkwing disappears when the chairs stopped moving. He gets on his Ratcatcher and drove down the bridge ropes and drives into the distance. The show cuts to commercials. My friend and I had a conversion of what we just say. We both agree that’s not Darkwing Duck and Negaduck. My friend think it’s must be some snuff film. I think the same but, minus the deaths of voice actors. Speaking of voice actors, the voices are very different than then the real ones. The voices are either similar or down right off. Darkwing’s voice sounded deeper, Gosalyn’s voice wasn’t present and Negaduck’s voice sounded wispy. When the commercials ended. It showed the Negaverse version of St. Canard with this time, no photo of the sky as the sky. It cut straight to Negaduck at the docks around St. Canard, just looking down at the water with a bigger frown. There was music but, it sounded like if the piano has only 5 keys. The frame lasted for 2 minutes. Darkwing came into the scene in the Ratcatcher and had a gas gun in hand but loaded with Toxic gas. Darkwing pointed the gas gun on the back of Negaduck’s head and Negaduck turned around and started to beat up Darkwing duck in a gruesome matter and later, he toke him into a boat and started drowning him. Negaduck repeated the words quietly, “I am sorry.” until Darkwing finally drowned and Negaduck push the body into the water and got out of the boat. The scene blacked out and changed to the final scene with Negaduck in an empty room with nothing but him and the gas gun loaded with toxic gas ammo. Negaduck cried and said “I cannot take it anymore. It’s time for me to die. I have no life but, be called a murderer and a terrorist. I must leave and never come back.” Negaduck pointed the gas gun into his mouth and pulled the trigger. The screen was filled with toxic gas with Negaduck coughing and wheezing. After a few seconds, Negaduck drops dead and the gas fades away to Negaduck’s body as the remainder of the scene. The camera zooms out and zooms to the distorted skyline and the credits rolled. The logos were replaced with red static. The red static gets cut to the commercials. That’s where the tape ends. I ejected the tape and we were speechless of what we saw.

A minute later, I say my goodbyes to my friend and toke the VHS tape home. I drove home and started to think about the episode. Who made this? Why was it made? How did this got passed Disney’s censorship? The answer to my last question was, well, if they can let the Devil from Darkwing Duck go in Hot Spells and Dead Duck, why not murder? Actually, I have no fucking idea and I wanted to return this god damn tape to the guy who sent it to me. But, it is late. My friend and I watched it at like 8:45 PM and I left at 9:16 PM.

When I returned home, I packaged the tape up wrote it’s return address, put it into a mailbox and I went to bed.

The Next day, I went on to the forums again. People were asking the forum’er that has the tape to get one. I locked the topic because, it’s much better to not know it. However, I posted a reply with the image of the episode which is on the page.

That’s where the story ends. There is a reason to not know the true lost episode of Darkwing duck. It’s for the better.
