In these three episodes, the underground resistance know as Scar Chain is revealed, led by Nagi aka Owl and his second in command, Karako aka Game Fowl, their mission is to get out of Deadman Wonderland. Also, more reasons why Senji is awesome is revealed and we learn a thing about irony… along with an ultra priest named, Genkaku, an Undertaker.
For starters, the resistance has this slacker-ish feel that you can’t believe they are a serious resistance organization and like all resistances, there might be a mole in the group that you shouldn’t trust. As for the two head members of the resistance, Owl and Game Fowl, they have really awesome Branch of Sin abilities. Owl has the ability to create “energy” balls from his own blood and Game Fowl’s ability is to use her blood ala how Kevin Levin of Ben 10 absorbs concrete and use it for his defense and offense. More on Owl, I love his tragic back story that makes the character a bit more dynamic.
Now to the Undertakers, whose job is basically to put rebellious Deadmen to rest like real undertakers do except that they have weapons that can make Branch of Sin disappear which makes them THE authority in DW. In these three episodes, we met three of them. Namely, Genkaku the ultra priest and Hibana the 2nd grader who thinks that she is lady. First, Genkaku is awesome, I mean, his weapon is a guitar-slash-gun and with his later upgrade, he can split his guitar into half and create two guns!
As for Hibana, I find her weird. I mean, she wields a giant sword that can be split into a couple of smaller blades that are connected in an elastic metal rod, whose weapon style is similar to that guy from Bleach with many tattoos. Sure, she has that mysterious backstory but it is not that interesting in my opinion. Now, to the major revelation in these three episodes, remember what I said about Shiro being a Deadman? Turned out to be that there is something more about it, also, remember the thing about the lullaby that stopped playing? It turns out that these two are interconnected! What’s more is that those things are related to what Ganta was looking for, the Red Man. When the finally revealed who is this Red Man, I was surprised! Shiro sure has a weird case of split personality!
Overall, those three episodes were good and this is when I started to notice the series becoming more interesting due to the revelation about who is the Red Man and me wondering how will Ganta react about it. Also, asides that the amount of gore was increased, especially that creepy child cutting the skin and muscles out of Nagi and as for the action, it was… fine I guess. It was not that special compared to the previous three episodes which involves a lot of psychological drama in it.
