Tsumiheishi (罪兵士/"Sin Soldiers") are Gernadders that have been pressed into service in the Imperial Japanese Army as suicidal shock troops as penance for the crime of their existence. 
They are produced using the same methods that the Engineers originally responsible for their creation utilized, and because of this they carry the same genetic geas that all other Engineer Species have; they are unable to harm humans unless in self defense or on the order of an Engineer. Because Japan no longer has any Engineers, the geas is circumvented in two ways. The first is that Tsumiheishi are dropped directly into combat zones to trigger their self-defense clause. The second is that Tsumiheishi are regimented to a starvation diet. Given that even in Engineer care Gernadders possess a ravenous hunger, this means that Tsumiheishi are prone to engage in cannibalism and corpse consumption, rather than such incidents with the Engineers being accidental. Tsumiheishi are often driven insane by their hunger, living conditions, and overall utterly scornful treatment by the Japanese. This treatment is a result of the Gernadders perception as Terror Troopers of the Engineer government, and, whether true or not, ensures that Gernadders that are produced by the Imperial Army often live short lives filled with suffering under vindictive Imperial officers.
Unlike the Gernadder regiments employed by The Engineers now based in the Philippines, Tsumiheishi T8R armor is coloured white, with the unique addition of burlap sacks that must be worn over their helmets as symbols of shame. The white armor is often decorated with demeaning characters based off the whims of the Imperial officer in charge. As Tsumiheishi are frequently mentally and emotionally unstable, their armor is also modified with sedative collars that can be remotely activated at the commanding officer's discretion. The sedatives are powerful enough to trigger the Gernadder's torpidity, allowing them to be used for euthanasia as well.
Although use of the Tsumiheishi is seen as distasteful due to their association with the Engineers, the presence of the Engineer's successors in South East Asia keen to haze the Japanese Empire, as well as the generally low population of the Japanese themselves necessitates the employment of such powerful, disposable soldiers.
