Deadman Wonderland 24

"Mockingbird" Sakigami Toto visit the Deadmen and the Deadmen are put into a Carnival Corpse with the Forgeries.


The very definition of creepy.

Summary:
After Sakigami Toto enters the room, Senji immediately attacks Toto because Toto is rumored to be the strongest Deadman, but Toto dodges Senji blades and takes a lick of Senji's blood. Toto wants a taste of Ganta too, but he is blocked by Shiro. Toto then politely introduces himself to Ganta and explains that the Forgeries are merely fake Deadmen. News of Toto's return soon reach the other Deadmen, and Chaplin organizes a big party to welcome Toto back. While everyone else is enjoying themselves, Ganta is sitting under tree thinking about the Forgeries and their resemblance to the Red Man. Toto approaches Ganta and after finding out what Ganta is thinking about, Toto states that the Forgeries and the Red Man are only similar in appearance. Toto is then about to reveal the Red Man's identity to Ganta, but the conversation is interrupted when Shiro comes to play with Ganta. Ganta tells Toto that Shiro is his friend, and Toto leaves without telling Ganta who the Red Man really is. After Toto leaves, Shiro asks if Ganta is enjoying himself, and after looking around at his fellow Deadmen Ganta answers yes to the question.

The next day, many of the Deadmen wake up and find a Forgery's mask beside them. On each mask is a message written specifically to piss off each of the Deadmen and the Deadmen are challenged to a Carnival Corpse at a specific location. This is of course all part of Tamaki's plans to test his Forgeries, but the Deadmen are too incensed to care. And so Ganta, Senji, Minatsuki and several other Deadmen arrive at the site of the Carnival Corpse and are met by four Forgeries. Senji dives right in and slices off some of the Forgeries' snake-like appendages, but the Forgeries keep on fighting. Senji is bitten on his left leg, but Minatsuki whips off the infected flesh before it can spread to the rest of Senji's body. One of the Deadmen falls to the Forgeries attacks, and Ganta is frightened by the Forgeries' single-minded desire to kill. Ganta shoots one of the Forgeries and knocks of the mask, and to Ganta's shock the Forgery is Azami. Ganta is so shocked that he is frozen in place, and he fails to spot a snake appendage coming at him from above.

"Mockingbird" Toto finally joins Ganta's group, but he is still mostly dancing around teasing and being creepy. Toto has a penchant for tasting other people's blood, so maybe his power is absorbing other people's Branch of Sins or something along those lines. We still don't know what he's up to and how much he knows about the whole operation, but he's probably up to no good given the way he looks at Ganta. We all know Shiro is the Red Man/Wretched Egg, and Ganta almost finds this out if not for Shiro's sudden arrival. It's probably still too early in the story for Ganta to finds out this devastating truth.

So now Tamaki has pitted the Deadmen against the Forgeries. I wonder what Tamaki is trying accomplish by doing this. He stated that he didn't care which side won, so perhaps he is just picking which side is better so he can run more experiments on them. It's interesting that all the Forgeries have the same powers, whereas each Deadman has a unique power. The Forgeries seem to be pretty obedient for a first generation product, but those killing instincts seems to be forced and maybe they could go unstable. Ganta is obviously not going to die in this battle, but he might end up killing Azami to survive. If Azami is killed in this battle then it's kind of a waste bringing her back after so long, but since this is Deadman Wonderland, any of the side characters can die at any time.
