Author's Note: Now, I'm back again. I've finished the Black Rock Shooter TV anime and it was an enjoyable ride. It has a happy ending after all. I'm wishing for a Season 2 of it.
Now, here is the new chapter: we catch a glimpse on how Dead Master and Chariot lived their normal lives. More basketball stuff here and there are some interesting parts, most from my OC characters. So overall, enjoy this chapter!
Black Rock Shooter belongs to Huke, Ordet, and Good Smile Company

Tokyo, Japan
7:00 am
Mato woke up in a bright, shiny morning, rubbing her eyes and stretching her body. She opened the window and inhaled the fresh air. Good thing that today it's Sunday so she can have time to relax and hang out with her friends. But this time, it would be different and it will not be like the last time where she was kidnapped. But she thought to herself that she would not worry about it and move on.
Things went as usual: taking a bath, change clothes, and eat breakfast. When Hiro is watching morning shows on their TV, Mato reached on her cellphone and she starts dialing. "Hello, Rock."
BRS answered the call. "Hey, Mato. What's up?"
"Maybe we should hang out today. Let's meet at the playground. At the basketball court." Mato informed her.
"Alright, but what time?" BRS inquired.
Mato thought for a moment. "How about 10:00am? I'll inform Yomi and the others." Mato noted.
"I also informed Yomi, too. She also said that they wanted to bring Kagari and Chario with us." BRS confirmed.
"Hey, that's awesome! I wanna see them being with us!" Mato exclaimed.
"Thanks, bye." Mato ended the call. And she did a sigh of relief. She had confidence that she will meet with her friends today. In addition, she is also happy that Kagari and Chariot will also join them, especially Chariot since she wants to know her more personally. Mato wanted no waste because today is also a weekend and tomorrow will be school. So she went to the couch and spends time with her brother, Hiro through watching TV.
Takanashi Residence
8:00 am
Four girls are sitting on the couch, watching TV. Not only Yomi and Dead Master, but also 2 girls. One girl is a human, who has a long yellow hair and yellow eyes. The other girl beside her are almost had the same face has hers and even the eyes yet they were also different, similar to Otherworlders. The human girl's name is Kagari Izuhira, who is Yomi's childhood friend. At first, she nearly died in an accident 7 years ago and she became a cripple, forcing her into a wheelchair. Worse, she became insane and obsessed with Yomi, commanding her to do what she wants. In truth, she recovered and she was able to walk, but she pretended to be a cripple in order to stay with Yomi and not make friends with everyone outside, including Mato. But when she fell on the stairs herself and went to the hospital with an injured wrist, Yomi decided to help Kagari to live a normal life outside along with Mato. After this, she was cured from her insanity and started to go to school.
The other girl is known as Chariot, who is Kagari's Otherworld counterpart, whose civilian name is Kise Kuruma. In her Otherworld clothes, she wears a crown in her head and wears a black and white dress and instead of feet, her footwear consists of wheels. She also carries a sword and her big spiked wheel as a shield while in battle. She made Dead Master as her captive and Black Rock Shooter defeated her in order to rescue Dead Master, at expense of making Dead Master a powerful adversary. Her corpse was thrown in a pit, but thanks to Kagari's resolve, Chariot was miraculously revived.
Then she decided to live in the real world not only to understand her real world self even more, but also learn on how to live a normal life along with her friends. Actually, she also had a hard time catching up just like Dead Master since at the time she used a spell in order to hide her… otherworldly features, she had a difficulty to walk with her bare feet yet Kagari helped her a lot. She loves to watch TV with Kagari She learned how to cook thanks to Yomi and her maid and the good thing is that her meals are very delicious that even rival to those from the top chefs from other parts of the world; and best of all, she got it all from watching reality cooking shows, particularly Iron Chef and MasterChef. What is funny is that she had a big appetite and a certified macaron addict.
Currently, the 4 girls are watching a Sunday morning anime show. It's about 5 magical girls fighting against evil forces, but unlike any magical girl show, they were kicking ass. Something clicked on Dead Master's mind and she rushed back at Yomi's room. Kagari noticed and she asks Yomi.
"Where's Dead-chan going?" she inquired.
Yomi smiled and said, "Well, doing her own thing."
"Hmmm, okay." Kagari said when Chariot suddenly burst in excitement.
"Yay! Here's my favorite part! The henshin sequence!" Chariot exclaimed.
And they both sighed yet they were happy all along. They love to see Chariot being like that and best of all, even though she had a hard time of adjusting herself unlike BRS and others, she had a cheerful demeanor. Like Dead Master, Chariot had never experienced happiness before unlike in the Otherworld where she was considered as cold-blooded warrior. And she learned many things, thanks to her human friends.
On Yomi's room, Dead Master was sitting on a desk. With a pencil and a paper, she starts to draw. If Yomi was a member of the art club, Dead Master set her sights in drawing, but very different. A fan of anime, manga, tokusatsu, comic books and even comic book movies, she began to draw images of characters, comic strips, etc. She wanted to be a good manga artist someday and hoping that people will love her drawings. Since she's a fan of antiheroes, she drew inspiration from Shotaro Ishinomori, the creator of Kamen Rider and Skull Man, as well as Roy Thomas and Gary Friedrich. She is not only an avid manga reader but also novels and comic books as well. For the once former so-called entity of death, it's easy for her to do such things.
Yomi knocked the door and when Dead noticed it, she told her. "You can come in."
Yomi opened the door as she entered her own room. When she slanted her head to take a look on what Dead is doing, she opened her jaw in awe. "Hey, did you draw this strip?" Yomi inquired.
"I did. Did you like it?" Dead Master asked her.
"This is so dark yet… amazing! I can't believe you can draw like this!" Yomi exclaimed
"Well, thanks!" Dead Master cheerfully replied.
"Oh, I almost forgot. We should meet with Mato and Rock-chan at the park." Yomi told Dead Master.
When Dead Master realized this, she said. "I'll tell Kagari and Chariot that they need to get ready. And… let's help them prepare the food for all of us."
"All right, but let's wait until they finished watching Chariot's favorite show." Yomi giggled.
"Oh come on. She's starting to watching comedy shows, then cooking shows and now, magical girls!" Dead Master.
"Hey, I think you should try to watch Madoka Magica. It really suits your taste. You'll love it~!" Yomi implied.
"Umm… I'm going to think about it." Dead Master said. And the two of them went downstairs and saw Kagari and Chariot still watching TV. They looked at each other and they both shrugged.
Secret HYDRA Base
Outside of Nagano
Yuuka Shinzo was sitting on her office. Her office consists of monitors and other devices, including her own hi-tech laptop. As chief of the HYDRA network in Japan, she was a very busy person, thinking of plans and doing observations on their operations. The man known as the Red Skull installed her since he believes in her abilities. Yuuka ensures that her plans will succeed, thus helping HYDRA achieving their goals. But in deep thought, she also had plans for herself: not only for world domination but something different, yet something better. And not only that, she believes that the Red Skull will be impressed on what she will reveal but not today, but when the right comes.
The mechanical door opened and a HYDRA agent arrived. She is a female and wears a standard green uniform. She saw the agent and greets her with a salute, "Ma'am."
"What's your report?" Yuuka inquired.
"Our agents were in task to abduct Kuroi Mato as you ordered yesterday. But unfortunately-"
Yuuka cut her off. "They failed on their operation. I don't know if I'm going to be infuriated or not."
"Continuing the report. Someone is chasing them. A girl with twintailed hair and blue eyes but they were also different." She opened the screen at the back and Yuuka turned. An image of a girl with a long twintailed hair appeared. "Is this the girl are you talking about?"
Yuuka looked at the screen of the said girl. She grinned on what she saw. "My, my. Black Rock Shooter. Now, you're going to stop us? This will be interesting." She thought to herself.
"Should I continue, Ma'am?" the agent asked.
"Fire away. I need to know more on their status." Yuuka ordered.
As the agent continued her report, the screen also showed images of BRS fighting the HYDRA units. Yuuka keeps her eyes since this caught her interest. "The said young girl managed to defeat our troops. Some reinforcements have arrived. The team is at the verge on defeating her and to be captured. But…"
"But what?" Yuuka inquired.
"Someone helped her. The same enemy that we fought." Then agent showed an image of man in a blue costume with a shield as a weapon.
Yuuka's eyes widened then she narrowed her eyes. She even cracked her knuckles about what she saw. She found out that the man who helped BRS defeat her forces in none other than the Red Skull's archenemy.
"Captain America…" she mumbled in animosity.
Then she closed her eyes and suddenly, she chuckled. The HYDRA agent just stared at her as she can't believe that she is as diabolical as the Red Skull but the difference is she is more insane. After Yuuka laughed, she let a sigh and looked at the agent with a calm demeanor.
"Agent?" Yuuka said.
"Yes, Ma'am?" awaiting orders from her superior.
"Continue on our research. We need to strengthen our forces if we want to reach our primary goal. Any questions?" Yuuka inquired.
"Yes, Ma'am. I have no right to complain but why do you want to kidnap Kuroi Mato? I mean, she's just a 13-year old schoolgirl."
Yuuka smiled. "Why? Because she is no ordinary girl. Did you see that unnatural young lady in the screen?" she noted when she pointed her finger at BRS. "On the contrary, she is like me." Yuuka replied.
The female HYDRA agent grinned behind her mask. "Hmm, I got your point. That's why you conducted this operation: to make an army composed of young men and women yet they were considered as unnatural beings. Does it remind you of the X-Men, mentored by Charles Xavier? They were different because they were mutants."
The young HYDRA chief chuckled. "Trust me. The army that I'm talking about is not like mutants. It is not of this world. But it's from another. That's why I conducted this research. So let's keep looking on potential individuals to be part of our army. On the contrary, my interest in Kuroi Mato is more on personal reasons. And as I have seen, we will have a hard time achieving our goals because Captain America has becomes BRS's ally. But thankfully, I'm well prepared and they are on the cards." Yuuka assured.
"I see." The agent understood.
"You are dismissed." Yuuka concluded. "Hail HYDRA."
Then the agent saluted, signaling her dismissal. "Hail HYDRA!"
Then she looked back at the screen on the image of seeing Captain America and Black Rock Shooter fighting her soldiers. Instead, she made an evil grin.
"Black Rock Shooter. Captain America. Let's see how the two of you can work together to stop me."
Specific Playground
Tokyo
The gang is still enjoying the whole Sunday morning. Kagari and Chariot are both enjoying eating macarons. Dead Master and Yomi also ate sandwiches that Kagari and Chariot made. They were sitting on the bench as they watch a 2-on-2 basketball game. It was Mato and BRS against Yuu and STR as the former is on the offense, with Mato dribbling the ball. Yuu sets sight on defending Mato so she can't even make a move. BRS and STR locked their eyes on each other as the former thinks of a way how to get past of her opponent in order to make her shot.
BRS gave a signal to Mato, the latter noticing an opening. BRS quickly outwitted STR and when Mato saw this, she did an unusual flashy pass as she spins around and did the throw. Seeing this, BRS jumped and does an alley-oop dunk.
"Yes! Another one!" Mato exclaimed, satisfied on the play she made.
BRS ran over and gave Mato a high five. "Excellent pass, Mato. You should do that more often."
The other 4 girls watched the whole scene. Both Yomi and Dead Master observed with awe in their faces, realizing that these two can be a formidable team. Both Kagari and Chariot are speechless, making the latter choked while eating some macarons then Kagari gave her water to force her food through her stomach. Good thing that she drank it and she sigh in relief. The bottom line is, they also enjoyed what they're watching.
Yuu, due to fatigue, is gasping for air. She can't believe of the chemistry between Mato and BRS. "Wow, they're really hard to beat."
"Hey, Yuu. We can still beat them. Oh yeah, I have a plan." STR replied with a smile.
Yuu stared at her. "What plan?" She wondered what STR meant.
Yuu leads the charge, handling the ball. Mato is guarding her. Yuu knows that her friend is a good basketball player but she needs to outwit the so-called the "First Year Ace." BRS is also defending STR in the paint as they lock their eyes on each other while Yuu is dribbling the ball. "Do you think this will work, STR? Alright, here it goes!"
Yuu makes a move in order to break Mato's defense. She had a hard time but she made a crossover move and managed to outwit Mato and when she entered the paint, she passed the ball to STR. STR gets it and holds the ball as she faces BRS one-on-one. They clashed with swords and arms in their countless battles in the Otherworld, but in the real world, this is different. STR is a fast learner that she learned how to play basketball, but despite of being the same height as Yuu, she decided to play center due to her power and sheer, well, strength. The Yuu lookalike tries to get near to the basket. She tried to use her body in order to push BRS but she knows the risk of being called for a foul so she never forced herself. She did a spin move and she did with success, getting away from BRS. And she finishes the play with a two-handed jam.
Yuu came forward to STR. "Monster slam, sis! Freakin' monster! So small yet so strong!"
STR smiled and the two shared a sisfist. "Gotcha."
Mato and BRS also watched them. "I can't believe that STR can be like that, even she has huge arms when she's in battle."
BRS noted. "I really had a hard time beating her in our world since she's strong in her own right. But if you ask me, maybe she should play center even she's a midget."
Mato responds with oddity because she saw BRS grinned. "Uh, Rock. Centers are known for their size and they should dominate the game. But why count STR?"
"Mato, one of the big factors of the center is to defend the paint: get rebounds, draw fouls, block shots and even score the basket inside." BRS explained. "Ben Wallace comes to mind since he's a defensive player and 6'9 but guess what: he's playing at center. That explains the difference."
Mato thought a bit and remembers how Ben Wallace's style of play. "Oh I see. LeBron James is fast and strong yet he's 6'8 and Kevin Durant is 6'9 yet plays as a forward and a guard. But still, I disagree."
"But for me, abilities do matter. Then goes teamwork." BRS remarked. The 4 girls on the hardcourt heard each other's growls on their stomachs, feeling hunger. The 4 chuckled in embarrassment because they need food to eat.
"Come on, let's eat. I'm hungry." Mato told everyone.
"Same here." BRS replied. Yuu and STR nodded in agreement as they went back to the bench.
The gang is starting to eat lunch. They say their graces and they began to eat. Mato had her bento box while Yomi, Dead Master, Kagari and Chariot had plenty of food with some sweets like cakes and even macarons, which the two yellow-haired girls love to crave. BRS, however, had a simple meal: a tonkatsu-styled chicken fillet with garlic rice. As they were eating, Yuu started a conversation.
"Hey Mato, just wait and I'll be part of the basketball team! Just need more warm-up and more practice then I'm all set!" Yuu told them.
"Let Arata-sempai think about it. But first of all, you need to work hard. Rock said that you had potential." Mato said.
"Rock-chan, thanks for all of this. I can never play well without your help." Yuu said.
"Well, don't mention it." Rock replied. I've noticed at first that you're part of the basketball team so it seemed to me that I need to help you. And I did."
Mato turned to STR who is eating her lunchbox. "Hey, STR." The white-haired girl caught Mato's attention.
"You really dunked HARD, you know that. How does it feel?" Mato inquired.
"No comment about that." STR shrugged. "But to be honest, it felt good… a little bit."
"Only a little?" Mato raised an eyebrow. BRS just laughs at STR's answer. Then she turned to Mato.
"That alley-oop pass you did was great. Now you're starting to act like a REAL point guard, and not much of a ballhogger." BRS commented.
"I was a bit uneasy when Arata-sempai always relies on me. I know that basketball is a team sport and I need my teammates in order to win a game. I fully realize that I should never push myself too much." Mato told her.
"If you want to be the best, you should not always play selfishly. Heck, Rukawa is somewhat like Michael Jordan, but he's no MJ." BRS told Mato, referencing a manga about basketball.
"Wait, Jordan is Greatest of All Time but-"
"He also passes. If it's not for Phil Jackson's triangle offense, he and even Kobe won't be the guys that we know today." BRS explained, including one of the most effective offensives strategies in the history of the game itself.
"Heh, that's what you get on watching TV and surfing the net with all basketball related stuff, which I'm also doing it. And then you went 'coach mode' and taught me those moves. Especially those flashy passes." Mato said. She even cited that she is a Ricky Rubio fangirl after she watched his games and most of his flashy passes.
"Squealing on that Ricky boy again? I get it." BRS replied with a chuckle. "But you know why the best point guards have those cool and flashy passes? It's because they have better court vision and they always make sure that they can make a successful play. And he or she makes sure that their teammates can score the basket." BRS noted, due to the fact that the two girls watched games that features some of the best point guards in the league.
"Oh yeah, I agree on that, Rock. You can even beat my one of my seniors since you don't need a springboard to do a dunk! But actually, being a team player is very nice." Mato said, recalling BRS doing a free throw line dunk. Both the girls laughed, while Chariot joined in and said to them.
"I'm not into basketball talk but it seems Mato-chan is beginning to elevate her game not only because of BRS but also because of Shizuka-san, your other personal trainer." Chariot told her.
"Hehe, I would never forget about Shizuka-san, especially she is also friends with Rock, and currently working in her coaching staff. She's like another mother to me." Mato said.
"You what this means, Mato?" Yomi inquired "You're becoming better than ever! And I'm so happy for you and Rock-chan." The green-eyed girl with glasses remarked.
"Yeah! And you know what this means?" Chariot mused.
"What?" Both Mato and BRS looked at her.
Chariot cheerfully chanted as she looked on Mato. "M-V-P! M-V-P! M-VP!"
Mato chuckled in embarrassment but all of the girls also join the chanting. As she looked on BRS, she can't help but to frown a little bit since she also joined in the chant. "Oh, come on Rock. You too?" And after that they rang a loud applause as they cheer Mato up.
"H-hey, thanks but it's too early for that? I need to work hard and play hard. But you know I wanna hold a championship trophy so an MVP is a bonus." Mato told them.
Yuu exclaimed. "Yeah! We go for the championship! That's all it matters."
STR looked at Yuu. And unexpectedly, she smiled a bit in agreement. Yuu noticed this and she also smiled.
Yomi told Yuu in response. "As far as I've known, your basketball team wanted to be champions."
"Yomi, to be honest, a championship is much worth than winning an MVP award." Dead Master noted. And Yomi nodded in agreement. After this, they bought chuckled followed by Yuu, BRS, and Mato. It seemed that they enjoyed a good time together. BRS began to spoke.
"We should make a new topic instead." BRS said. And everyone is in silence. BRS took a breath and she began to speak.
"Everyone, it's been 2 months have passed since me, Dead Master, STR, and Chariot, went here and lived in the real world. I know some of here had a hard time catching up yet it was worth it. All of you, I'm very glad of meeting you girls, of course that includes Mato." Mato can't help but to smile on what her Otherworld counterpart said. When BRS finally understood Mato's resolve, the said 'destroyer', who has bent to kill her own kind in order to 'free' their real world selves from their suffering, has become the 'lightbringer' in the Other World. And when she lived in the real world, she became cheerful and selfless to others.
BRS continued. "Being an Otherworlder is more like battles, being connected to our real world selves, and carrying the suffering of our real world selves and all that. All I did was to kill, believing that I can set them 'free', but I was wrong. On the other hand, everything has changed and it's all because of Mato." She looked on Mato. And then Mato responded with a smile.
Then Rock continued. "I fully understand… what Mato meant. Sorrow, grief, suffering. It really hurts us all. But that is also part of being human. And because of Mato, we can finally know and feel what is like to being human; to know and feel people, and even how to endure struggles. We're not 'tools' or 'avatars' anymore; we are starting to be like them! And it feels good… and peaceful. Besides, my former enemies and now becoming my allies, and best of all, friends. And… as I look up in the blue sky and breathe the fresh air, it seems this world is beautiful. I fully realized that there is more to life than what we are doing."
"Even I miss home, I'm happy that I'm with Yomi. And, the rest is history." Dead Master noted.
"Thanks to Mato-chan and Rock, and with some help from Yomi and Dead, I've finally learned how to understand everyone, including Kagari. If I'm going to fight, it's more like on protecting everyone from now on, including my real world self. Thanks for everything." Chariot said as a sign of thanks to both Mato and BRS.
"Well, don't mention it, Chariot. You're not even dangerous at all if you ask me. You're even nice at all and you're all good at cooking." Mato told her.
BRS smiled when she heard Mato's comment. As she looked again on them, she was relieved on the inside. She was happy that not only she became Mato's friend and companion but others as well, including Mato's friends and even her former enemies. As she looks up in the sky, she remembers those memories, even the painful ones. Everything: From her journeys in her world, to defeating her friends' other selves due to saving them from their pain until she is on the point of being an 'insane' killing machine bent on destroying their world, to recognizing Mato and saving her from her own darkness, and finally, BRS and Mato changed everything: a cataclysmic event that shook the foundations of the Otherworld. And that also leads to the defeat of Saya Irino and her Other Self, Black Gold Saw, who were clearly in the wrong, yet they managed to help Mato and her friends to finally end a rampaging threat which it will cause the destruction of the Otherworld. Until the time that BRS and her friends have decided to stay with the real world with their real world selves, leading them to start their new lives. For BRS, it's more like a breath of fresh air for her.
When she returned home, she felt that she have returned her own peaceful atmosphere. For BRS, it was a lot of fun happened a few hours ago. She was tired, yet it was worth it as she sighed with a smile on her lips. For her, she needs to go home, watch TV as pastime, and needs to go to sleep at 9:30pm in order to prepare for school tomorrow. But a thought came to her.
"I was a bit worried. What if Mato will be put to danger again? Who are the guys that I've fought yesterday? Thankfully, I was saved by this 'Captain America' guy but the question is… who is HE?"
As she stepped forward to open the door, she stepped on an unknown object. She felt that the object is wrapped and when she looked down on it, it was a package. She picks it up and tempted to open it but she decided to open it as she enters inside her apartment. She sat into her couch, still holding the package. She opened the package and it shows of some sort of device; it was none other than a communicator that was the size and specs of an iPhone 4S.
"It looks like an iPhone. But how?" BRS wondered.
Then she noticed something aside from the said communicator. It was a note. She also picked up and read it.
I give you this communicator.
Through this, you can call me anytime you want or if you need help.
Just keep it at all times, ok?
And yeah, I want to meet you personally at your home after your class.
See you tomorrow, Ms. Hoshioka Kuroi a.k.a. Black Rock Shooter!
~Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America
P.S. We're now even.
After reading this, she was surprised that the mysterious man who helped her has a real name after all. Tomorrow is school day so not only she'll prepare for it but she will finally meet the man known as Captain America. And hopefully, that man will answer so many questions lingering in her mind, especially those who attacked her.
She puts the communication device to her desk and goes to the kitchen to cook some food for dinner.
Shizuka is on the balcony of her own mansion, seeing the bright lights of Tokyo. For a teacher herself, a weekend is good for rest and fulfilling some errands in order to prepare for tomorrow's school hours. And since she is the coach, she needs to watch DVDs of their games to review them, figuring what's wrong on that said game, study and finding the flaws. Coaches like her needed these in order to help their players to prepare themselves for the next game.
She took a deep breath since it relieved some stress for her. She's a bit tired yet it's all worth it. As she went back inside her bedroom, her cellphone rang. She picked her phone and answered.
"Hello?"
'It's been 5 years since your last mission and then you resigned. I'm glad that we had a conversation again, Shizuka Amano.'
"Well, Agent Coulson. Why am I not surprised?" she mused.
This is the end of chapter 6.
I made Dead Master as a mangaka and a tokusatsu and comic book fan because of one reason: it's a reference to Miyuki Sawashiro (Yomi/DM's voice actor) and her involvement in the Kamen Rider franchise. Also, the names Roy Thomas and Gary Friedrich are the creators of a Marvel character (hint: he rides a motorcycle); and it's also a hint for my other future projects. And yes, I want to include Agent Coulson in my story because he is awesome! Next chapter is that a part of Shizuka's past will be revealed and other developments.
Now here is my answer on why I chose Captain America over other comic book heroes that I want to crossover with Black Rock Shooter: Not only he adorned a star on his costume but there is something more than that. He has no superhuman powers (yet he has the Super-Soldier serum) and he wields a shield yet most of all: his character. He is not even a dark, brooding superhero (if you count his Ultimate version being a prick being one). He is not like Tony Stark/Iron Man who is a genius and rich yet he's an alcoholic at first or Thor being a Norse god of thunder yet he was an arrogant prince at first; Steve Rogers is a weak, frail, skinny little guy who wants to serve his country but he has a good heart (one of the best underdog stories in comics); I love the quote said by Dr. Erskine in the film, "No matter what happens tomorrow you must promise me one thing, that you must stay who you are. Not a perfect soldier, but... a good man."
Then the rest is history: he turned into America's first Super Soldier who takes on many villains including the Red Skull, his arch-nemesis. And after he was frozen and taken into the modern world, he became the field leader of the Avengers. Most are wondering why agents, assassins, mutants, gods and even deities listen to him? Because he has a bigger heart, bigger courage and a bigger will. He's pure. He stands for what's good and right at all times, no compromises. And even though he wears a red, white, and blue costume, he believes that compassion means strength and he fights for freedom and liberty, not on blind loyalty; he fights for the American Dream. At first, the BRS in the anime version is more like a mindless juggernaut bent on killing their own kind, setting them 'free' from their suffering and pain of their real world selves, which Mato opposed this, leading to the defeat of Insane Black Rock Shooter and the cataclysm that changed the Otherworld itself by making the two worlds merge. Upon living in the real world, and finally meeting Steve, BRS will learn what true freedom is and what is the value of strength, and what Cap meant about 'fighting for what is right'. And during the course of the story, it will have some impact for the other characters.
So please read and review. I still need to work on this! Thanks and see ya!
