Black★Gold Saw

 Black★Gold Saw' (ブラック★ゴールドソ, Burakku Gorudo So) is part of the supporting cast of the OVA series Black★Rock Shooter''. Her relevance to the plot is still unclear, and her origins, along with her human counterpart, have not been disclosed.

Appearance
Black★Gold Saw is a girl with red eyes and long black hair. A red flame shoots out from her right eye (in the OVA, that flame is not present). She has a pair of curved black horns whose color turns to red as it reaches the tip. Like Dead Master, Black★Gold Saw also has skeletal claws. Her outfit is similar to Black★Rock Shooter except for the design of her jacket and her bikini top; her jacket extends into a worn-out cape which is dyed red at the end. In the OVA, her jacket is shorter, unlike in the original artwork, and she also wears armored boots with pointed crescent designs.

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

Her weapon of choice is a large sword with golden blade and a black saw-edge on its reverse side. It has a long handle with a skull-like object on top and a hilt shaped like a crescent; its name is "King Saw".

Plot
She fights Black★Rock Shooter and after a vicious fight, she was victorious, presumably giving Black★Rock Shooter her scars.

It is unknown if she is an &quot;other self&quot; at all, and if she is, whom she is one for and how she relates to Black★Rock Shooter or Kuroi Mato.

Trivia

 * Black Gold Saw is the second "Black" character to appear in the OVA.
 * Among the four OVA characters, BGS is the only one who looks mature and drawn like a more older woman.
 * Her claws are more "skeletal" in contrast with Dead Master's. Dead Master's claws are more of a pair of demonic gloves rather than a pair of skeletal claws.
 * She seems to have more violent and sadistic nature, as seen in the expressions of her Figma.
 * She's the last BRS character to appear in the game Nendoroid Generations despite the fact that she's only the third of the BRS OVA figures released.
 * The website for the 2012 Black★Rock Shooter anime writes her name as "Black Gold Saw" without the star. This is unusual because it keeps the star for Black★Rock Shooter.
 * Her 2012 outfit seems to have the elements of MEFE's outfit.
