Crow vs. Woodpecker

Tamaki is talking with his fellow co-workers via a device that allows him to enter a different realm. He’s cut short when a soldier informs him that Crow is engaging in an unauthorized battle with Ganta. Meanwhile, Crow, who Ganta believes to be the “red man”, forces Ganta into fighting him. He wounds Ganta with his ability and questions why Ganta won’t activate his branch of sin when he’s already bleeding. This is when Ganta learns that in order to use his strange powers, he needs to sacrifice his own blood. Thrusting Crow backwards with an overwhelming blast of his blood, Ganta accuses Crow as the “red man” who killed his friends. The attack lands a direct hit on his chest but it doesn’t seem to have any effect whatsoever. Crow introduces himself as Senji Kiyomasa and confesses that he doesn’t know anything of the “red man” Ganta speaks about. Senji explains that Deadman Wonderland was actually established to imprison the “deadmen”, people with the ability to use their blood in conflict. With Ganta unguarded, Senji attempts to hit Ganta with his blades of blood, but Shiro leaps on top of him and stops him from attacking, which results in her breasts being pressed against his face. Senji demands that she put some clothes on because full-body tights are “way too risque.”Not before long, however, officers approach the group and shoot Senji and Ganta with tranquilizers.

Makina enters G Ward shortly after to find it completely spotless. She knows this is Tamaki’s doing so she decides to pay a visit to the director. You and Shiro are being dragged into another area, but Shiro wants to know where Ganta is. You learns from the guards that are escorting them that this prison was especially built to cage those who are infected with the “branch of sin.” You asks if it really is a disease and the guards are unsure themselves, although many people have claimed that the disease started spreading around 10 years back. At last they reach a door and the guards throw You and Shiro inside the empty room. An officer thanks You for his Cast Point cards while Shiro continues to ask Ganta’s whereabouts. Ganta wakes up in a clinic with his body bound to a mechanical device. He’s shocked to see Tamaki come and greet him when he’s supposed to be his lawyer. In the meantime, Senji is also being treated, but in another room. He attacks the woman who is nursing him with his ability despite his two broken ribs. Ganta learns from Tamaki that he had been put into this prison unjustly because Tamaki himself had made it that way. Infuriated, Ganta starts swearing at him so Tamaki electrocutes him by pressing a button near the machine. When a doctor warns Tamaki that the shocks could stop Ganta from participating in the experiment tomorrow, Ganta discovers that he has to battle Senji in order to gain a candy and Cast Points. Tamaki tells Ganta that for some reason the “red man”, who is described as “the core of the spread of the branch of sin abilities, and the bringer of disaster — by the retched egg”, chose to let Ganta live. Ganta threatens into killing Tamaki and the “red man”, but Tamaki calmly tells him to be at the Carnival Corpse tomorrow.

Thoughts: Yet again, another fantastic and enjoyable read of DW. I just love this manga ‘cos it keeps getting better and better. I just had to add the part where Shiro places her breasts against Senji’s face because it was absolutely hilarious since the “bad guy” who’s acting so tough, actually can’t stand girls wearing clothes like that. Ah, and he was blushing! I have a feeling that Senji may be one of the good people later on who will help Ganta in whatever it may be. Tamaki is probably the real bad one, including the “retched egg” aka “red man.” Who knows, Makina might be good as well seeing as she despises Tamaki and calls him the shitty-fox, or something along those lines. I can’t wait for the next chapter which probably won’t be out soon. Man, I wish there wasn’t a long delay between each chapter, although it does create the suspense, doesn’t it? Shiro proves to still be cute and very protective when it comes to saving Ganta. I wonder what her relationship used to be with him, and why she acts so adorably dumb? There were a lot of nice moments with You and Shiro being together XD Could this be a new, blossoming love? Yup, I sure hope so ‘cos You always puts on that *sweat drop* face whenever Shiro does something stupid and says something weird. Ah, kawaii~~

Note: Hikari no Shiawase, which means Light’s Happiness, is the official name from now on
