OVA
Description
Black Claw stands as one of the Four Gods, also known as the Four Generals, within Panther Claw, specifically embodying the spade suit. Her appearance presents a sharp division: the left side of her face is black with long white hair, while the right side is white with longer black hair featuring several white streaks. She wears a large black and white tail coat, a black cape with a spiked collar, and big knee-high boots, highlighted by red lipstick and eyeliner. This design functions as an intentional homage to the Mazinger Z villains Count Brocken and Baron Ashura, reflecting creator Go Nagai's earlier works.
Her personality centers on unwavering loyalty to Panther Claw's leader, Sister Jill. Unlike other members who prioritize chaos, her actions consistently focus on fulfilling Sister Jill's desires, pledging her life to this cause with intense devotion. This singular focus sometimes manifests as frustration when Jill's true objectives remain unclear to her.
In combat, she demonstrates capabilities considered the highest among the Four Gods. She wields a microphone and staff to generate the concentrated ultrasonic Black Beam, capable of harming targets at the molecular level. She also employs a sword with enough proficiency to rival Cutie Honey's skills. A notable ability allows her vertically separated body halves to function independently; these halves can rotate at high speeds to create the Black Tornado attack. This resilience and adaptability make her a persistent adversary.
Her narrative involvement begins with a critical mission: retrieving the Airborne Element Fixing Device from Dr. Kisaragi's laboratory. When he refuses to disclose its location, she kills him. This act directly triggers the first confrontation with Honey Kisaragi, who arrives and transforms into Cutie Honey to avenge her father. Later, during Panther Claw's assault centered on Jill Tower, Black Claw executes fellow general Scarlet Claw for retreating from battle against Honey. She subsequently engages Cutie Honey in a decisive fight but is ultimately defeated and killed by Honey's Honey Boomerang weapon, though the battle significantly drains Honey's energy.
