Plot

Part 1

1: Story begins with Rock waking up from a nightmare, reminded of her village's decimation and Mato's capture a couple months ago, as well as her mother's disappearance. She then goes to train with Elder Caster, before successfully preventing a raid on their recovering village.

2: Rock and Caster eventually travel to try and find Mato and their mother. Soon, they encounter Black Matagi, who's in a battle with Dead Master. After forcing DM to retreat, they arrive at the neighboring village, greeted and sheltered by Yomi. DM follows to attack, before retreating upon spotting Yomi.

3: BM explains that she will stay in the town until she's properly recovered, before bidding farewell. Eventually, Caster and Rock make it to the next village, getting into a brief skirmish with the guard Strength. Eventually, Yuu arrives and drags them all into her home, apologizing for Strength's behavior and explaining that she's overprotective of her home.

4: In compensation for the injuries Strength gave, she lends Rock and Caster a steed named Ron. Rock and Caster accept the gesture, assuming that Ron is a normal horse. During their travel to the next village, they are ambushed by DM and are immediately saved by Ron, who flies towards the next village, revealing that he is a pegasus.

5: After spending time in the village to recover, Chariot arrives with her cavalry to invade the surrounding villages, as they are the last bit of territory left for Empress Black Gold Saw to conquer. Strength and BM arrive and help Rock and Caster liberate the villages, before DM injures Chariot, explaining that she herself will be the one to kill Rock.

6: After successfully liberating the villages, BM agrees to keep watch on her and Rock's respective home villages. Strength returns home, while Chariot is left to heal and be humbled, and realize her mistakes in serving BGS.

Part 2

1: Rock and Caster eventually travel to the southern towns, steadily liberating them one by one, before encountering the general Tightmare Elly. The two easily take her down, before being interrupted by a dragon spotted overhead. Instead of attacking, the dragon merely takes TE as its meal and leaves in a hurry, leaving Rock, Caster, and Ron stunned.

2: The sister duo then reach the western towns, finally finding the first real clue to Mato's potential location. After liberating the towns, they encounter Loveness, who claims that she knows where Mato is and will only give information for a price. Unlike Caster, Rock falls for the general's trap, before going into a rage and brutally killing her. She is forcefully sedated by Caster, who's realizing how powerful Rock's becoming.

3: After Rock wakes up, she and Caster are already in the eastern towns. Ron explains what's happened, saying that BM and Strength are helping her sister, and questions Rock if she remembers anything during her rage. Rock confirms that she doesn't remember, before receiving a visit from Yuu and Yomi. Rock explains what she's been going through and begins to doubt herself.

4: Caster returns with some shocking news. Much to everyone's shock, a confused and scared Mato is behind her, to which she explains that while it might be Mato, someone has magically tampered with her. Yomi and Yuu suggest that Mato should stay with one of them for her own safety, before the group is interrupted by Farside Bunny's invasion to the north.

5: Rock, Caster, BM, and Strength encounter FB in the northern towns, who demands Mato in exchange for the towns' safety. They deny her demands and an all-out battle ensues. Chariot eventually arrives and help give the four the edge they need to defeat FB. Once again, DM appears out of nowhere to help for her own interests. Before Rock and Caster can question the general why BGS needs Mato, FB poisons herself to retain information.

6: Rock and Caster are eventually convinced to bring Mato along. The rest of the group joins them and so far, everything goes well, before the dragon appears again, this time out of control and desperate. The group attempt to flee, with Caster and Rock providing distraction, only for Rock to be taken out and captured by the dragon. Caster tells the group to head to the cities and stay low while she searches for Rock.

Part 3

1: Rock wakes up in a small camp, before noticing the last person she expects. Her own mother, Dragon Slayer. DS explains what happened to her, causing her daughter to notice serious injuries on her abdomen. DS reassures her that she'll heal fully soon, after how she helped her.

2: Rock and DS chat and train, helping Rock get into touch with her new strength and to control her more wild instincts. DS then reveals a shock; she is the very dragon that's been following her daughters, but now, she's losing control. Despite her mother's wishes, Rock insists on helping.

3: DS, for the time being, remains in control and explains that they are running out of time. Soon, Caster (along with Ron) finds them, also suffering from an aliment (a type of cancer that targets only pure mages). The family members don't know what to do, so DS lends Rock her sword, telling her how proud she is of her daughters before leaving and transforming into the dragon in private.

4: Rock and Caster feel more lost than ever, now that their mother is truly gone. Caster attempts to enhance Rock's gun and their mother's sword for Rock's personal use. Eventually, Rock finds herself more attuned to her powers than ever, but still lacks control. Eventually, DS in dragon form arrives and attacks them.

5: The two try to keep the fight away from the city with little success. Eventually, Rock finds herself losing control, as she's essentially in a position where she has to put down her own mother…and she can't do it. Caster lends Rock her supplies and urges Ron to take Rock to the group, which he reluctantly does…all while Rock is forced to watch the dragon devour Caster whole.

6: Now inside the dragon, Caster makes her way to the organ where her mother is trapped. DS apologizes to her for her daughters' fates, letting her eldest daughter hug her as the entire dragon is destroyed from the inside out. Rock is at her lowest point, angry at herself for being too weak. The first vestiges of Beast come out. Ron then urges her to continue on, as while she lost Caster and her mother, Mato is still safe and waiting for her.

Rock and Ron then go into brief solitude, so Rock may train, refine, and master her power.

Part 4

1: One long year after starting her journey…and only a few months after going into solitude, Rock and Ron head to the city. They manage to get to an inn where Yomi and Yuu are working and explain where they've been. Yomi and Yuu, heartbroken by the loss of Caster, explain that the group has gone into hiding to avoid capture.

2: Rock and Ron take on small jobs to help Yomi and Yuu out, before encountering a disguised BM and Strength, who are rightful pissed by Rock's sudden disappearance. They get into a fight, which only ends after Rock confirms Caster's fate. Strength leaves in fury, while BM can only cry in Rock's arm over the loss of a person they both cared for.

3: BM brings Rock to Mato, who's become more and more void of emotion. Rock explains what happened with a heavy heart, while Mato explains that ever since she came to the city, she's felt more empty than ever. Rock counters this that, despite that, Mato is more honest than ever. Rock then makes it her mission to stop BGS's reign and to restore Mato.

4: Rock is then threatened by DM to meet her in the city's cemetery. Before going, Yomi tells her the truth about her and DM. Rock can't promise that DM will be saved from herself, but at least she can free her of this life. And so, Rock and DM have their fated duel, which lasts until the next sunrise and ends with DM's death.

Not at Rock's hands, but by Saya Irino.

5: Rock is then convinced by BM to train with Chariot, who has been gathering a rebellion to help stop BGS. Chariot and Rock train, once again revealing vestiges of Beast as Rock's determination grows. Chariot then notices that Ron has also gotten stronger, noting that he will need it for the battle.

6: Eventually, the group is ready the storm the castle, having evacuated most of the civilians. So, the rebellion charges into the city, with Rock and Mato immediately heading towards the castle for answers.

Part 5

1: Chariot and Strength deal with the cavalry, lead by Saya Irino. Not much to go here, since it is just a fight.

2: Upon entering the castle, BM deals with Infinite Range Maid alone so Mato and Rock can get to BGS uninterrupted.

3: Mato and Ron are split from Rock by BGS, forcing Rock to fight the queen alone. It is a long and grueling duel, which ultimately has BGS drop the bombshell that Rock, Mato, and Caster are her nieces. In response, Rock merely laughs and says that it is destiny for her to overthrow their aunt, before finally transforming in BRS Beast. She defeats BGS, who then merges with her castle to give her an edge.

4: Rock and BM are launched from the castle, now transformed into a golem in BGS's likeness, before noticing Ron breaking free with Mato and rushing to Rock's aid. Another long fight ensues, before the golem is left defenseless. Rock has Ron escape with BM, before she and Mato venture into the golem's body in search of BGS's true body to kill it.

5: Upon entering the organ where BGS's body lies, White Rock Shooter steps forth and fights Rock, claiming to be the true Mato. Mato is in heavy pain, believing this to be true, but can also tell that WRS is also not whole either. Rock eventually restrains them at Mato's wish, before using Caster's supplies to figure out the problem.

Eventually, Rock determines that WRS is a product of BGS's forces experimenting on Mato.

6: Rock and WRS fight, before WRS is killed via her own arrogance, plunging into the magma surrounding them. As Mato begins to feel whole again, Rock prepares a bomb to take out BGS, before the two sisters attempt to leave…only for BGS to seal the golem up, saying that if she's going to die, she'll take her traitor of a sister's children with her. Ron then breaks in, before escaping with Mato and Rock.

Not sure what the epilogue might be. While BGS is dead, I don't think Rock or Mato would willingly become the next monarchs, despite both fulfilling the requirements as proper heirs. Admittedly, I think Rock would take up the mantle of queen, just so the kingdom doesn't fall into chaos or get conquered.

I hope you do a post about the fashion of the characters from Black Rock Shooter someday <3

Don't worry anon, I gotchu.

Black Rock Shooter

I should've mentioned it in that other ask, but BRS is also a character design I'm very fond of. Which can feel a bit weird because at first glance she seems like a very otaku male gaze character? And I can't quite disqualify that possibility, but I still feel like that gives me more reason to talk about why she works.

If I had to summarize it in a sentence I'd say BRS works because she feels austere in a realistic way, especially once you consider the world she inhabits. She lives in a completely barren wasteland, with not a single tree in sight, so she wears stuff that goes between temperature extremes and that is comfortable and practical. A big long-coat jacket, gloves, and boots that cinch to her calves for the cold, and a short and bikini top for the hot. Usually, I don't like plain-chested anime* girls in triangular bikini tops because it feels like the designer is trying to highlight that for the fetishists, but I simply don't get that feel with BRS, and that includes when she has the jacket off. I think that might be in part because the animators and such don't put too much detail on her boobs, but it may also have to do with how Rock carries herself. She's not shy or a fetishized Rei expy, she is a BADASS on a MISSION. Maybe calling her androgynous is a bit much, but there's something about her that doesn't feel like it conforms to the male gaze. Whatever it is, Rock just doesn't give the impression that she dresses for the sake of others. It may also have to do with how she only clasps the top of her long-coat with the zipper, giving her a triangular silhouette that shows off her body but without highlighting her non-existent curves. Beyond that, it is very probable that her design sticks out because of her eyes, which are unique in the anime world except of course for the other job of the artist in Steins;Gate. She was also the first one to have a flaming blue left eye before Sans Undertale entered the pop-culture consciousness. The asymmetry of her ponytails is also surprisingly unique to her. And, of course, having a kickass Supercell x Miku Hatsune song helps too.

There's not much to discuss about her anime counterpart. She's pointier and more detailed and has something interesting going on with the idea that the long coat can have its tail detached. Not super into the asymmetry of her boot lapels, but that's a nitpick. I think I overall prefer the anime design because I find it more elegant in its simplicity, and also the scars look cool, but I would keep the belts of the anime, the white one is a neat color brake detail.

Dead Master

Dead Master is the one who changed the most in between adaptations and she looks great in both of them, so she's the only one I'll make a real comparison of. The first thing to acknowledge, of course, is the genius placement of that ribbon. I haven't seen any other character design with that idea, and it works fabulously, because it breaks the monotony of the empty space of the dress without pointlessly breaking the silhouette. Now we move on to the differing intentions of each version, and what they bring to the table:

OVA!Dead Master is a sexy kind of villain, so her dress is smaller and form-fitting, but also surprisingly comfier with the shoes than Anime!DM's heels with laces and ribbons. I think the ribbons compete with the pom-poms, though. The accessories that she brings to the table are still very cute, anyways: the glasses, the veil, the way the nails of her claws are painted, it's all very stylish and unique to her. Still, like Rock and Gold, her design stays strong through her fundamentals. The featherless wings and the hairstyle are unique to her without being clumsily exaggerated, and the later is perfectly balanced by the horns, the ruffled neckline is also comfy and complemented by the choker, and like the rest of the girls here who aren't Rock the monstrous hands are a delightful shock of badass horror. I don't have a preference here, again, they are going for different things and it's admirable that they managed both while still staying loyal to the core principles of the design.

Black Gold Saw

This pic is a bit awkward, but it's the best I could get. Admittedly, I kinda prefer her OVA version with the bikini, but this top conveys more of a unique personality, more casual and languid and comfortably femenine instead of generically leather badass-sexy. The stars in the sleeves are also nice touch. The shorts are too form-fitting though and they make the belt look out of place since it doesn't really need to hold anything, unlike the anime where it was looser. Not much else to say here, Gold is pretty standard sexy devil, but since she's not wearing some stupid striperrific outfit that deals the final blow to my already struggling libido I find her nothing if not commendable.

Chariot

Not to force a pun, but Chariot's design fucking rules. It's such a simple dress, but it conveys everything it needs. A ruffled button-up, a split to give a better view of the white underlayer, and lines in the sleeves with cuffs with gold buttons. This time the hands also serve the higher purpose of balancing the wheels. Her long disheveled hair with the crown also gives off a very specific personality to this whole aesthetic. It immediately gets us to understand that this is a spoiled rotten girl who's used to having her way, probably because she's physically disabled, which she is. Kind of a pity they named her Chariot, though. I mean, I get it and it's a cool name, but the aesthetic is muddied with all this royalty stuff which makes me think of The Empress or The Emperor tarot card, rather than The Chariot.

Strength

I'm sorry that the image is cut, I legit couldn't find a better version. But in any case, yeah, elegance in simplicity and all. Strength has 2 big fucking hands and a tail, and she can destroy buildings with both. Better keep things comfy. Short boots that cinch well to the ankles, thigh-highs for some light warmth and weight, simple halter zipper dress that leaves room in the bottom for the legs to move, let the big collar/hoodie have the intricate details and call attention to the color of the eyes, and have some wild short hair for maximum monkey-theming. Yeah, she's not wearing a bra, but nothing is really calling attention to it, so I'll let it slide. Also she has flame tattoos in her arms, that's badass.

*If you're an actual person you can wear whatever the fuck you like, whether I like it or not. NONE OF WHAT I SAY IN MY REVIEWS IS EVER 1-1 APPLICABLE TO REAL PEOPLE.
