## Story

### BRS Anime

Chariot is first seen during Episode 1 in her own domain within the Otherworld. She attacks Black★Rock Shooter by running her over with Mary, then personally landing on her body and tossing macarons on her face, with Kagari's voice telling Mato to go away echoing as she does so. Later, Black Rock Shooter attempts to fight back and shoot at Chariot, only for Dead Master to intervene by chaining up Black Rock Shooter and restraining her, allowing Chariot to hold the upper hand in battle and impale the latter using one of Mary's legs

In Episode 2, after Black★Rock Shooter disables Dead Master, she notices a heart-shaped scar above her chest and ceases her attack. However, a large group of spiders carries Dead Master away to a house in the sky. Black★Rock Shooter chases after her and breaks into the house where she is being held, but upon reaching for her, Chariot intervenes on Mary and attacks her again. Chariot unleashes a massive wave of macarons on Black★Rock Shooter, who transforms her ★rock Cannon into a gatling gun to break through against the wave of macarons. Mary is destroyed as a result, but Chariot switches to using her Sword and Shield and personally fights Black★Rock Shooter herself. As the feud between their human counterparts reaches a turning point when Yomi Takanashi persuades Kagari to change, Dead Master starts breaking free from her chains, which momentarily distracts Chariot long enough for Black★Rock Shooter to take advantage of and gain the upper hand. Their battle comes to an end once Dead Master completely breaks free, causing the destruction of Chariot's world, in which Chariot herself gets swept up in. However, Black Gold Saw suddenly appears and halts the destruction of her world. After Black Gold Saw drives Dead Master into a fissure in the ground and vanishes soon after, Chariot takes the opportunity to stab Black★Rock Shooter while she isn't aware, but instead, Chariot is beheaded by Black★Rock Shooter.

Later, in Episode 4, Strength is shown dropping Chariot's head and body into an abyss. As a result of Chariot's death, Kagari does not remember her past feelings towards Yomi and instead assumes that it was Yomi who needed Kagari before, not the other way around.

At the end of Episode 7, Chariot's head and body can be seen alongside the dead bodies of various more other selves, including Dead Master.

In the final episode, Chariot is shown in her own world, speaking her wish to protect her human counterpart. After Insane Black★Rock Shooter's defeat, she comes back to life, resulting in Kagari regaining the memories of her love for Yomi. She is last seen with Dead Master, Black Gold Saw, and the hooded figures as their worlds merges into one.

## Personality

As the Otherworld counterpart to Kagari, Chariot reflects many of her mannerisms, especially Kagari's initial hatred for Mato Kuroi in the real world. She has a cold gaze, is determinedly stubborn to keep things the way she wants them to be, and displays sadistic joy in brutally beating Black★Rock Shooter, but is also shown to panic when she starts losing control. Chariot also displays a silent yet apparent possessiveness over Dead Master, and even some control over her: she forced her to attack Black★Rock Shooter, took her away to a house in the sky, and violently intercepted just before Black★Rock Shooter could reach out to Dead Master there.

She seems to be skeptical and untrusting of anyone willing to help her, though she takes advantage of the opening created by Black★Gold Saw as a last-ditch effort to stab Black★Rock Shooter. Chariot has the same love for her human counterpart that all the other selves have for their counterparts.

## Abilities

Chariot's weapons of choice are a Sword and Shield. Chariot is also capable of using both the wheels attached to her legs as deadly slicing weapons, and her mechanical monster, Mary, against Black★Rock Shooter.

Using her wheels, she can easily avoid enemy attacks and charge at full speed. Her shield can deploy spikes to bash enemies, making Chariot capable of being both offensive and defensive. She also exerts some degree of control over Dead Master, similar to Kagari's possessiveness of Yomi in the real world.

## Fighting Style

Chariot uses a sword and one of the legs (or wheels) of his monster Mary in combat and gets to use the wheels on his legs but apparently only when his opponent is on the ground and often tortures his opponents.
