Dead Master

Dead Master (デッドマスター) is the antagonist in the Black★Rock Shooter OVA and the manga series Black★Rock Shooter ~Innocent Soul~. She is the &quot;other self&quot; of Takanashi Yomi in the OVA series.

She is voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro.

Appearance
Dead Master is a girl with wavy dark green hair and straight bangs, and neon green eyes. In the OVA, she has a circular pattern in her eyes.

Her outfit is similar to a Gothic lolita costume. She wears a black dress and a black bolero; her dress extends down to her thighs and is accented with a white ribbon attached to her waist. Dead Master also wears a pair of leggings and a pair of black pumps. She wears a pair of black gauntlets on each hand. On her head is a pair of long horns which resemble a pair of vertebrae with each tip made out of three tips joined at the end. Dead Master also has a pair of wings which sit low on her back, looking like a thick zigzag.

Her weapon of choice is a large scythe named Dead Scythe that has an unusually-shaped blade and a long handle with a vertebrae-like detail.

Most of the time she is accompanied by two, floating skulls, each with glowing cavities.

Personality
She is showy and sinister, licking her fingers when trying to kill Black★Rock Shooter and making huge shows with her scythe. She makes a large show of threatening, wicked smiles, and while she is quiet, she is silently taunting her enemy. She also makes hissing noises when agitated.

Apparently, she can take over Takanashi Yomi's body when her emotions become similar to the Dead Master's.

Black★Rock Shooter OVA
She sits on a throne at the beginning of the OVA in her castle, apparently expecting Black★Rock Shooter's appearance. They fight after Black★Rock Shooter extends her hand to her, rejecting the offer to go with her. Making a show of her nature, she tries to make herself threatening to her enemy throughout the battle.

She gains an advantage when she manages to trap Black★Rock Shooter in chains, but Black★Rock Shooter gains the strength to break the chains. She makes the same hand gesture, but the Dead Master, again rejecting her, and backing up, starts to fall off of a ledge. Black★Rock Shooter catches her and holds her in an embrace.

Unable to handle this, the Dead Master escapes the body of Takanashi Yomi, whom she had been possessing, and dissolves; the reason is unknown, but it is likely either due to having left Yomi's body or the "affection" having damaged her in some way.
