Biography
Kiyomasa Senji (Japanese: 千地 清正, Hepburn: Senji Kiyomasa) was a male human who lived in Japan in the modern age. Around 8 years ago, the 18 year old Senji came to work as a police officer by the year 2016. After the Great Tokyo Earthquake, he along with his colleagues Akira Shindō, Tōshirō Kan, Momoi, and his senpai Domon were assigned to Tokyo where they were tasked with restoring peace to the area. By this point, Senji had already acquired his Branch of Sin and he used its power to help fight criminals on the streets.
Senji's first seen in a dark room messing around with his Branch of Sin. While in G Ward, Senji overhears a few people talking about a new Deadman called Woodpecker with an interesting power. This excites Senji as to find and challenge him to a battle. After Ganta made his way to G Ward, Senji appears, destroying the giant steel door and the Necro Macro security robot which had been chasing Ganta, Shiro and Yō. He surprises everyone with his inhuman ability to slice through a steel door with ease. Senji welcomes Ganta saying that he's been waiting for him to fight. Due to his power, Ganta mistakes him for the "Red Man" and attempts to kill him with a pipe, where Senji counteracts with his Branch of Sin Crow Claw and shreds the pipe, leaving Ganta in a shock. After seeing Ganta's fear, he decides to leave him be for not knowing that he needs to use blood for his Branch of Sin. As Senji leaves, angered Ganta uses his Branch of Sin and attacks Senji head on. Senji tries to block it with his Crow Claws, but the bullet pierces through and strikes Senji in his chest internally wounding him, unknowingly. Senji introduces himself and commends Ganta on his performance, but declines that his the Red Man, saying that both of them can use the same ability. He explains to Ganta that Deadman are people who can control their blood outside their own body. He also adds that he's a stupid child thinking that his the only one "Special". After a small skirmish and an interruption by Shiro, Senji was subdued by the Deadman security. In the infirmary, Crow finds out that the next match line up is him vs Ganta. Before getting too excited, Rei warns him that he cannot battle because Ganta broke his sternum bone and two of his ribs, where Crow assaults Rei telling her to stay out of his fight.
The next day. before the Carnival Corpse, while Crow is warming up, his chest starts hurting again, noting that he's pumped for the battle. When the battle starts, Ganta tries running away to a higher place where Senji's blades can't reach him. Ganta climbs a tree and starts shooting his blood bullets, but Senji manages to deflect all of them, with Ganta ending up getting anemia. While Ganta hallucinates, Senji extends his Crow Claw and slices up the tree. With Ganta unable to fight, Crow toys with him, by cutting him up little by little. When he decides to leave, Ganta grabs him by the leg and gets up saying that he will not lose by getting punched around. As Senji prepares to deliver the final blow, Ganta shoots the giant speaker, which hurls down onto Senji. Senji slices up the speaker not realizing that Ganta already came into point-blank range, where he shoots him in the chest, breaking his sternum bone and defeating him, leaving the crowd shocked. Despite Senji's experience and skill with his Branch of Sin, Ganta managed to win by trickery. As a consequence of losing, Senji was forced to play the Penalty Game. His right eye was removed for research. He returns for a short time later during Ganta's next match, sporting an eyepatch and gives Ganta assistance with figuring out his opponent's techniques, as well as helping him understand his own capabilities. His change in personality toward Ganta is due to his respect for Ganta's strength. Senji comments that because Ganta beat him, he is not allowed to lose to anyone else until they have a rematch. He later meets Ganta in the hallway, after his match with Minatsuki, telling Ganta to treat him to some ramen for winning. Senji complements him about his win against Hummingbird. Ganta feels sorry for his eye, to which Senji replies that it's "just another day at the office". He tells Ganta that he needs more variety in his attacks and mentions his Ganta Gun, a name he thought of himself. Ganta says that the name isn't cool enough. He wants something more like Aceman's attacks. Senji is surprised that Ganta knows Aceman, because that was an anime back in his childhood. Ganta tells him about how he and Shiro used to play Aceman. He tells Ganta that even though his victories were dumb, they were still victories and that winning Carnival Corpse matches can be both good and bad.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Kiyomasa Senji was a tall, muscular man with a tan who wore his short short black hair spiked back and had the letters DSMK tattooed above his right eye in memory of his former teammates. Whilst in Deadman Wonderland, he was forced to become a participant in the Carnival Corpse and was given the name of Crow.
In an ironic twist, Senji becomes flustered and embarrassed when a woman acts immodestly. When he first notices Shiro's form-fitting body tights, his face becomes red and he gives her his coat telling her to quickly cover up, and again turning red when Minatsuki flashes her underwear at him. The effect of those encounters can sometimes make him fall to the floor.
Powers and abilities
Senji has displayed a high level of endurance, being able to withstand eye removal, the breaking of his sternum, a number of cuts, stabs, bruises, gunshots, anemia and being hit by numerous Branches of Sin as well as surviving being crushed by an entire ceiling and the shredding of an arm. In less frequent occasions, Senji has displayed enhanced strength, such as in his battle with Ikazuchi Akatsuki, being able to push him back and injure him despite his constant doping and enhanced strength.
Senji has displayed inhuman speed on several occasions. Senji is able to surprise his enemies with his inhuman speed and cut them down, usually before they even notice. Thanks to his speed, Senji is able to function perfectly in sync with his Branch of Sin, being able to slice through steel with ease. This also helped Senji develop his Invisible Black.
As one of the Deadmen (デッドマン, Deddoman), he possessed his own Branch of Sin (罪の枝, Tsumi no Eda) that gave him the ability to control the blood in his body. For Senji, he was able to specifically make rings that had serrated blades on his forearms that sliced them open in order to drain blood. This allowed him to manifest Crow Claw (クロウ・クロウ, Kurō Kurō) that were scythe-like blades which he could use in combat to cut through objects. He had the ability to alter the blades though normally made straight ones created from the top of his hand. Kiyomasa could manifest them anywhere on his body but had them form on his forearms where he could use them to slice or cut his targets.
A variation of his ability was manifested in a technique called Invisible Black (空虚閃, Inbijiburu Burakku, Japanese for "Empty Hollow Flash) whereby he created a large scythe-like blade at the top of his right hand instead of his usual forearms.
In order to draw blood, Senji was equipped with special rings that have rotating blades on them. He wears them on both of this thumbs to cut his forearms. After he lost half of his right arm, he stopped wearing them.
