The name of the gang would change in later games. While the arcade version of "Double Dragon II: The Revenge" had Willy and the Black Warriors retaliating against their earlier defeat by gunning down Marian, the Famicom version replaced Willy with a nameless fighter who led a mysterious armed group following the dissolution of the original Black Warriors. While unnamed in the Japanese version, the English localization of the NES version would refer to this organization as the Shadow Warriors (or the Black Shadow Warriors in the manual), a name later used for an unrelated enemy group in "Super Double Dragon", as well as Willy's own gang in "Double Dragon Advance". The Shadow Warriors was also the name of the villain group in the "Double Dragon" animated series and its tie-in game, "", where they consisted almost entirely of new characters.
