BLACK★ROCK SHOOTER: Black★Rock Shooter

Nice to meet you, Babylonia Commandant. I'm... BLACK★ROCK SHOOTER.

Firepower up. Great.

A promotion...? Are you talking about a medal? No, no need of that.

An all-round upgrade... with no obvious changes in appearance.

Different battle modes for different enemies. I need to practice more.

The modified rock cannon... Well... As long as the firing rate is fixed.

Ready for battle. And... I'll just follow your instructions?

Roger that. I'll go first.

Mission complete. What's your next order?

The Punishing Virus, the Corrupted... and Babylonia... Alien concepts, but I'll get used to them.

Don't you feel it's a bit cold in this room? More clothes...? No.

I'm a warrior born for battle but not a tool designed only for battle... I think it goes the same with "Constructs".

Battling enemies who came out of nowhere to reclaim Earth... I think I've heard a similar story somewhere. No, it's not a story. For you... for me, and the place I'm in, this world is the "reality" that we have to go through.

DEAD MASTER... I don't remember... When it was that our paths crossed. The battle between us is still not over yet. In other words, I can't imagine what it would be like when it stops.

Is that the only name I have? It doesn't matter how others call me. It won't change who I am. I'll always be "BLACK★ROCK SHOOTER".

You seem to have many important friends. Please cherish them.

Do you have any regrets? Some think "regrets" are meaningless... Well, I don't think so, because that's exactly what you feel when you want to do something to "make up."

There are also people with heavy cannons here... I want to see how good theirs are if possible.

A friend today could be an enemy tomorrow... But don't worry. I have no intention to fight you.

Your eyes... look like as if there's a fire in them. Determined and clear... I wonder what you've been through to give you that strong heart?

The world is full of contradictions with no reason. They make us fall down, get frustrated, and hurt others despite the struggles in our hearts... But it's exactly because the world is not beautiful that we know what is "good" and worth our protection.

What's the blue flame in my left eye? Think about it yourself. Only the conclusion you make yourself will be the right answer for you.

I've gone through a long battle that seemed never to end... I'll keep fighting no matter where I am or in what name. My journey will never end as long as "BLACK★ROCK SHOOTER" is still needed.

When you get stuck in a lightless abyss, exhausted, and have lost your hope, call my name. I'll come to you. Not to save you but to break a path for you.

…

I don't need commission.

I'm not fond of chatting.

This is a "gift"...? It's a bit strange.

I'm listening. Do you want me to say something?

Thank you. I'll take it.

I protect you, and you protect me? Hmm...

I'll cherish it, because it is from you.

I rarely fight along with others, but I don't hate the concept of "companionship."

A way of exchanging "feelings"... Hmm... I see...

You're... "Commandant", and that will make me your teammate.

...Do you want a gift in return?

I didn't quite understand "emotions"... But that was a long time ago. Now I can notice my emotions and then, your emotions, more or less, when you're standing in front of me.

This rock cannon is the only thing I have to keep. Other than that, what do you want?

This is not my end, but everything I experienced here... is a precious journey for me.

Do you want to see stars shooting across the sky? Can I do it? It's not about that. I'm asking if you want to see it.

Ha... I'm bored.

Can you hear me? How many times do I have to yell?

What's bothering you?

Um... Nothing. I was just wondering if you couldn't move.

I'll be here with you if you want to sleep here.

Get some rest.

There's no point to keep pushing yourself.

You should take a break. You're tired, aren't you?

Humans' energy is limited. If you don't get some rest, I'll make you to.

I know you'll always be here even if you leave.

You're here.

What's going on?

We meet again.

There's a battle today, so let's move.

I smell a new battle in the air. Today is a busy day as well.

I'll destroy your enemy, both in reality and in your mind.

I love this small space, but I feel that I'll lose my strength if I keep staying here.

My power is at your disposal until death do us apart.

Where... did you go?

Enemy attack...! No...?

Is that a joke? Is it laughable?

...I feel dizzy.

You want me to consider you as an "enemy"...?

So, you've decided to start a "battle" with me as well?

Need help? Say it out if you want it.

No other missions?

Let it start. My battle... BLACK★ROCK SHOOTER's battle.

Slash!

The annihilation begins.

Penetrate!

Lock... Fire!

Here we go...!

Burn to the ground!

All power out...! Limit release!

This should... end it!

Hm...!

It's not over yet...!

My... flame...

Assistance starts.

Attack support!

Remember this power with your eyes.
