Summary
Black★Rock Shooter (ブラック★ロックシューター, Burakku★Rokku Shūtā) is the titular character and main protagonist of many different projects, including the anime OVA Black★Rock Shooter, the RPG of the same name, the anime series and the manga Black★Rock Shooter ~Innocent Soul~.
In the 2012 anime, Black★Rock Shooter is the Otherself of a middle-school girl named Mato Kuroi. She represents Mato's desire to solve other people's problems and ignore her own, and thus goes on a rampage to kill "otherselves" throughout the Otherworld. Mato is unaware of Black★Rock Shooter's existence until Yuu Koutari (who is actually Strength) tells her of a way to save Yomi Takanashi - the human counterpart of Dead Master - by merging with Black★Rock Shooter. However, the shock of seeing Dead Master die transforms them into Insane Black★Rock Shooter. Insane Black★Rock Shooter then rampages through Black★Gold Saw's and Strength's zones, until she was finally stopped by Mato, with the help of the revived otherselves.

Insane Black★Rock Shooter, while more aggressive and single-minded, still proves herself to be a skilled warrior much like her normal counterpart
Weaknesses: She ceases to exist if Mato Kuroi, her human counterpart, dies | Mato can slightly influence her action, sometimes causing unwanted behavior and impeding her combat abilities, although this likely wouldn't happen in a situation where both shares the same goal
