Chapter 11 is out!

Summary:

Ganta remembers that Shiro had been his friend long ago as he notices the photograph of him with Shiro and his mother. Meanwhile, the director tells Shiro that he has her pudding in the usual place but expresses his confusion when she says that she doesn’t like sweet food. The director realizes that she’s in the mood and decides to play along with her. He opens a hole up and his blood begins spurting out. In the dust, the Red Man’s costume appears with no one in it. All of a sudden, the director goes in to attack Shiro and the Red Man suddenly smiles. Soldiers start coming in and telling Yuu and Ganta to move out of the way. Ganta figures that it hadn’t been an earthquake just then when out of nowhere Senji appears and greets him. Senji points at a store and orders Ganta to treat him to something in order to celebrate his victory. While he eats, Senji explains that Ganta still has a long way to go in order to become stronger. When he mentions about how Ganta is just using his Ganta Gun, Ganta asks that they change the name to something cooler like from the film “Aceman”. Senji remembers this show too and expresses how he really liked it. That being said, Ganta is reminded of how he used to play this game with Shiro and how fun it was, but realizes that she had always been the one attacking him. Senji warns Ganta that winning and losing are bad in both ways and a cloaked female figure sitting behind them finds out that Ganta is Woodpecker. At the same time, Makino is trying to get into Tamaki’s computer but nothing works. She gets frustrated and slashes at the man in front of her. By motivating them, she announces that this is a fox hunt.

Tamaki wants to find out more of the Wretched Egg and he tells the doctor that once the director falls, he’ll create his own Deadman Wonderland and play his own games. Minatsuki kicks Yoh out of the room and Ganta appears, so he and Yoh head to the clinic area. No one is there and Ganta asks Yoh where Shiro is. After hearing her name, Yoh asks Ganta who Shiro really is and he responds that he’s a really old friend. He remembers one time when his mother was crying and Shiro was upset after receiving some shots. He had tried to cheer her up by informing her of Aceman and how he can save people. Angered, Shiro snatches Aceman and throws it on the ground where it breaks into pieces. She leaves before saying that she will finish the pudding, which Ganta had given her, on her own. Later on, Ganta walks off crying but suddenly a brutal stray dog appears and tries to harm him. Ganta calls for Aceman’s aid and Shiro jumps down, knocking the dog out and exclaiming that there’s no need to fear, since Aceman is here. Ganta goes on telling Yoh about how those times were when Yoh tries to warn him of Shiro’s true identity. However, he forces himself not to when Ganta says how glad he is that he found out one of his friends was still alive. Yoh excuses himself and passes the woman which had discovered who Ganta was earlier. Ganta listens to the Woodpecker song and remembers that his mother had written it for Shiro. The director’s head is cut off from his body and Shiro hears the Woodpecker song. She asks the director what else is there to the song but the director says that there is no more since she is the wretched egg.

Thoughts:

OMFG! Shiro was the Red Man all along?! And who’s that mysterious chick?! Deadman Wonderland is killing me! It continues to throw in huge twists and I just love this manga so much, including the gore and the character designs. I can’t wait until this becomes an anime which I will definitely be watching! I feel sorry for Ganta though since he doesn’t know and their past was really cute. I wonder who Shiro is … I wonder … It really isn’t making any sense to me right now, but I think Ganta’s mother crying and Shiro receiving those shots have something to do with this. And now that the Wretched Egg is in fact Shiro, it does make a lot of sense as to how his friends had died in the same way those soldiers had died earlier, with Shiro holding on someone’s head. Deadman Wonderland is my favourite manga so far because I enjoy all the gruesome scenes, how weird everything is and how the plot becomes darker, thicker, and more whacked.
