Black★Rock Shooter

ブラック★ロックシューター

Black★Rock Shooter is the titular character and main protagonist of various projects, including the anime OVA Black★Rock Shooter, the RPG of the same name, the anime series, and the manga Black★Rock Shooter ~Innocent Soul~. She originated as an original design by huke, who participated in the release of the song "Black★Rock Shooter" by supercell, featuring Hatsune Miku.
Character Design:
Black★Rock Shooter's original design depicts a pale-skinned, blue-eyed girl with black hair styled in uneven twintails; the right lock is shorter than the left. She has two scars on her midriff. A blue flame shoots out from her left eye.
Her attire consists of a string bikini top worn under a black jacket. The jacket features a white stripe running along the length of each sleeve and a white star design on the front (left side) and back. She also wears tight-fitting shorts, gloves, and black knee-high boots.
Her weapons include a black-hilted katana later named Black Blade and a large gun called ★rock Cannon. She is the "other self" of Mato in the other world.
OVA:
A shot of Black★Rock Shooter from the OVA shows her signature blue flame. The OVA adaptation added details to Black★Rock Shooter. Unlike her original design, her eyes have a concentric circle pattern, a trait she shares with other characters in the OVA.
Black★Rock Shooter is also given a personality in the OVA. She is depicted as a calm and collected girl, not speaking at all until her confrontation with Mato near the end of the OVA. She also does not focus on anything except the most important thing she has to do at the moment.
She is shown to be very skilled in fighting, despite being quickly taken down by Black★Gold Saw in her first shown battle. Black★Rock Shooter is able to fight evenly with Dead Master, despite appearing to try not to hurt her.
Anime Adaptation:
Black★Rock Shooter has been redesigned for the anime, with some new elements possibly inspired by the designs of White Rock Shooter and Black★Rock Shooter Beast, as her new jacket and boots (which are now more blue than black) have similarities to both WRS' and B★RSB's clothing. Like her hairstyle in the PSP game, her hairstyle is spikier compared to her OVA appearance. She no longer has any scar on her midriff. She wears her trademark hood more often than she does in other media. Black★Rock Shooter in the anime seems to be more brutal than any other B★RS incarnation, having beheaded Chariot and Arata's possible other self, and killed Dead Master.
