Chariot (TV Anime Character)

Chariot is one of the new characters appearing in the 2012 Black★Rock Shooter anime. She is said to have a cold gaze, as it feels as if she is piercing into your heart. She is the other self of Kagari Izuriha.

Appearance
Chariot is a pale skinned female wearing a dress with black and white tones. She wears a large spiked crown on her head, as well as claw-like gloves. Most notable is her choice of footwear: she wears black, metallic thighhighs with black and yellow wheels that can be used as cutting weapons.

Like all of the "other selves" in the anime, her yellow eyes have a circular pattern in them.

Chariot's weapons of choice are a Sword and Shield. Chariot has been shown capable of using the wheels attached to her legs as a weapon against Black★Rock Shooter.

Plot
She is seen in the Otherworld, where she attacks Black★Rock Shooter and throws macaroons at her in a similar style to Kagari Izuriha.

She shows some control over Dead Master, forcing her to attack Black★Rock Shooter. After Black Rock Shooter disables Dead Master, she notices a heart shaped scar on her chest and ceases her attack. However a large group of ants, presumably Chariot's, carries Dead Master away to a house in the sky. Black★Rock Shooter finds her there, but upon reaching for her, Chariot interrupts on her giant spider creature and attacks.

She is momentarily distracted by Dead Master breaking free from her chains, and Black★Rock Shooter takes the moment to gain the upper hand. Dead Master breaking free causes the chains to start the destruction of Chariot's world, which she gets swept up in; however, Black★Gold Saw appears, drives Dead Master into a fissure into the ground, and vanishes. Chariot tries to use the moment to stab Black★Rock Shooter, but instead, Black★Rock Shooter ignites her left eye's flame and beheads Chariot.

Strength is later shown dropping Chariot's body into an abyss, seemingly confirming that Chariot is dead.

Much later, in the abyss, Chariot was seen, along with many other dead bodies of other selves and Dead Master.

In the final episode, Chariot is shown in her own world, and is heard quoting her own feelings along with Black★Gold Saw and Dead Master and how their only wish is to protect their human counterparts. After Insane Black★Rock Shooter's defeat, she, along with Dead Master, come back to life, resulting in Kagari regaining her memories of her love for Yomi. She is seen with Dead Master, Black★Gold Saw, and the hooded figures together as the worlds of each respective other self merged into one.

Abilities

 * Sword and Shield (Chariot)


 * Crow (Chariot)

Trivia

 * Her blood is yellow.
 * She bears a resemblance to SZZU from Black★Rock Shooter THE GAME, both in appearance and in means of attack.
 * Chariot is the second Black★Rock Shooter character to share a name with an Arcana of a Tarot Card. The first was Strength.


 * Chariot's usage of wheels may be a shoutout to her human counterpart Kagari Izuriha, who is wheelchair-bound. She also drops the "dirty-colored" macaroons on Black★Rock Shooter 's face, the same colored ones Kagari gave Mato.
 * The spider-like monster that Chariot controlled could also be like Kagari's doll, Mary, as the creature is controlled and accompanies Chariot, like how Mary is controlled and accompanies Kagari.
 * She is the only "other self" whose weapons have no name.
 * She is also the only "other self" in the anime who is not mentioned by name.
 * Strangely enough, when she was beheaded by Black★Rock Shooter, she didn't bleed at all. However, when Black★Rock Shooter cuts her left arm, she bled.
 * She bears no expression when she was beheaded. However, when Strength threw her into the abyss, she had a scared expression on her face. Later, in the abyss, her eyes were closed.
 * Despite having a yellow color scheme, her theme color is actually pink.
 * Huke might not be the one who created Chariot but rather the designing team of the whole Black Rock Shooter 2012. Design wise, she might just be a character created after SZZU.
