WRS

White Rock Shooter or WRS (ホワイト・ロック・シューター Howaito Rokku Shūtā) is a character for the RPG Black★Rock Shooter THE GAME, taking the role of the main antagonist and the final boss.

Originally, she is known as Sing Love (シング・ラブ), a famous singer on Earth before the alien invasion that decimated most of Earth and the human population.

WRS is voiced by Maaya Sakamoto.

Appearance
White Rock Shooter's appearance consists of a white and magenta futuristic outfit as a theme. She wields a giant curved scythe (as big as her) named "White Scythe" with ease. She also wields a Rock Cannon and a 'White Blade'. She has two white "wings" sticking out of her back, composed of four smaller wings each. In her EX mode, these become more apparent to angel wings, with a halo like object on the far back. These can engulf themselves in magenta flames while in battle. Both wings have a black star on them.

Parallel to BRS, her flame is on the right side rather than left and its color is magenta.

Her hair is separated into two even long twintails.

Her appearance is similar to Black★Rock Shooter, but more complicated and the main colors are magenta and white, compared to Black★Rock Shooter's black and blue color theme.

Plot
WRS is an extraterrestrial being that arrived on Earth in a human form as Sing Love on 24th December 2031, nearly 20 years before the story of BRS THE GAME. As a "human" she resides in San Francisco as a singer named Sing Love. Her song was very popular and became a chart hit, with her image appearance on posters in cities such as San Francisco and New York. Despite her popularity, little was known about her identity.

She later worked with Professor Gibson and participated in human cloning. She is the source of the Gray clones, including Nana and Stella, of which the latter is addressed as "White" as Stella is considered as the perfect clone of WRS.

Apart from the end of the tutorial, WRS did not make appearance in the game until the end. Her identity was hinted by the Sing Love posters dotted in cities, as well as the aliens addressing her indirectly as the "Governor" (総督, Soutoku).

Stella confronts WRS in Moon Terrace, where she presumably resides for the duration of the game. It is revealed that everything was behind her doing: Be it the alien invasion, mankind's destruction, and her clones, they were all part of her "game". Among those her most desired "game" is to fight against her perfect clone. Ultimately she lost in the battle with Stella. In her final words, she said it no longer matters who remain on Earth as both her and Stella are "the same", and that she has enjoyed what she has desired.

Battle Skills

 * Making World (メイキングワールド, Meikingu Wārudo) - Boosts her Attack stats and enables life recovery for a short period of time.


 * Dead End (デッドエンド, Deddo Endo) - WRS rotates her scythe counterclockwise, forming multiple pink cannonballs, and aiming at BRS. It is impossible to escape their fury.

EX Mode

 * White Doctrine (ホワイトドクトリン, Howaito Dokutorin) - She is completely immune to damage and possibly effects from any BRS' battle skills. This effect may last very long; WRS can only be damaged by normal attacks.


 * Grateful Sun Ray (グレイトフル サン レイ, Gureitofuru San Rei) - WRS transforms her large wings and cannon into a giant-turret like cannon. At the top, a sun like figure begins to rotate counterclockwise, charging a very large energy ball, and WRS fires from behind. The large energy ball can be damaged and can divide itself until it/they hit BRS or if it/they was seriously damaged a lot.

Trivia

 * WRS was first revealed as a figma action figure under the name of "Black Rock Shooter (White version)" before her official name was announced.
 * The figma action figure is bundled with the limited version "White Premium Box" of Black★Rock Shooter THE GAME, whereas the character charm is bundled with initial release of the regular version.
 * WRS overall design (minus the mecha equipment) seems to be based on the original BRS and Dead Master.
 * It is speculated that XFNE and Nana (in normal ending) were nebladed by WRS as in the cutscene where Stella reaches the Moon Terrace XNFE's and Nana's armors were shown dismantled with no traces of their bodies.
 * In the game, Nana first refers to WRS as "Mama", and both she and Stella continue to refer to her as so until XNFE informs Stella that their mother is, in fact, an alien.
 * Her White Scythe seems to be a transformed version of her Rock Cannon, seeing in her second form her scythe is nowhere to be seen.
 * There are speculations regarding on the fate of WRS. After her defeat in battle against Stella, she walks back to her chair and appears to fall into slumber. It is suggested that she did die from her wound as she said that it doesn't matter who (WRS or Stella) remains as both are "the same".
 * However, in the EX mode, WRS makes several references: Firstly, when approached by Stella, she  states, "これがわたしの望んだもう一つのゲーム" ("This is (my wished-for) another Game...").  In the opening cutscene for the second phase, she asks, "お前と戦うのは二度目？それとも三度目？" ("Is this the second time we've fought?  The third?")  After her defeat, she says, "次のゲームで・・・また会おう" ("Let's meet again in the next Game...")  All imply that she still is very much alive after the events in the game.
 * In the manga, her body initially appears to have been destroyed upon her defeat by Stella, however she is later seen being carried away by SAHA as the Moon Palace crumbles.  In the final pages, WRS is seen speaking to SAHA (who, in the manga, did not fight Stella nor otherwise involve himself personally with her; he does not die) upon a different backdrop.  It is unknown what the setting is, however it is possible that the two have simply gone elsewhere (possibly even dimension shifted) and continue to live after the events transpired.
 * She possess fangs just like I.BRS. They also share the same impression when attacking the enemy.
 * WRS,BRS, and I.BRS possess the largest weapon rack in BRS character history.
 * The prism rock cannon shown in the Anime seems to be based on the Grateful Sunray cannon.  However, the prism rock cannon is fired whilst on ground and fires a blast of energy in a straight line rather than having to fire in charged, energy ball while in midair.
 * Her jacket seems to be the basis for the animation version of BRS's jacket.
 * She's the only Figma on the BRS line not to be featured in the official GSC website (however, it appeared on Mikatan's blog).
 * Her figma had a problem in its White Wing unit. Both her multiple "wings" seemed to slide easily from its connectors.
 * It was hinted at that there may have been a romantic relationship present between her and Professer Gibson.
