What is? ANYTHING?!?

What is Deadman Wonderland?



Deadman Wonderland is Japan's only privately operated prison, built after the Great Tokyo Earthquake on ground zero. It gathers prisoners from all over Japan and raises money for the revival of the destroyed metropolis. To the public and the tourists that visit daily, Deadman Wonderland is a massive theme park-like facility run by the prison population. Unbeknownst to the general population, most of the prison's attractions involve cruel games of survival where many inmates lose their lives or are maimed for the entertainment of an oblivious public. The prison also runs a secret gladiator-like game called the Carnival Corpse, where wealthy anonymous donors pay to watch death-matches between the prison's Deadmen.

Deadmen who are defeated yet survive the game, have a part of their anatomy surgically removed for scientific research. In a cruel twist, the loser spins a macabre slot-machine to determine which part of their body will be removed, with the show being broadcast live to the other prisoners. The winner is awarded a large amount of Cast Points, life-saving candies and other prizes.

To keep prisoners at bay in case of a riot, they are fitted with special collars which act as life monitors, locators, and stunners. Those on death row however are constantly administered poison through their collars: should an inmate not consume a special candy-like antidote every three days, provided to them at the cost of a large sum of Cast Points, he/she would die immediately. The prison's guard staff is also granted autonomy over how to punish the prisoners, which often results in bloodshed.

While the threat of violence is constant at the prison, most prisoners enjoy a great deal of liberty inside Deadman Wonderland. Utilizing Cast Points, the prison's unique form of currency, prisoners can purchase a wide variety of items from ordinary lunches, to luxurious furniture for their rooms, and even years off of their sentences. Those on death row also use Cast Points to purchase their life-saving candies.

Despite its identity as a prison and theme park, Deadman Wonderland houses a much darker secret. Hidden away from the eyes of tourists and the general prison population is a massive underground facility known as "Level G" (it is called "G-Block" in the English version of the anime). This is where the prison keeps their Deadmen secluded and where the Carnival Corpse arena is located. Level G also houses numerous laboratories and rooms where experiments on humans are performed and where scientists are attempting to harness the powers of the Deadmen for monetary and political gain.

What are Cast Points?

Cast Points are the currency of Deadman Wonderland. They are given out to prisoners through many different cases, like: winning events, selling possessions, and even through many other things!

Here, on this site, Cast Points are given out through posts anywhere on the forum, excluding spam areas. With these, you can purchase "candy" to keep your character living (for a way cheaper price than in the anime/manga), and creating your character's items, weapons, and techniques. They are important to have, so keep track of yours!

What is Candy?

"Candy" in this world, is not like modern-day candy. It is a bitter-tasting, awful experience that is swallowed orally, to get rid of the poison that the neck brace injects into each prisoner. In other words, "candy" is an antidote.

"Candy" can be purchased in the shop for a decent price, which is respectfully fluctuating at times.

Candy must be eaten by Deadmen, Forgeries, and Prisoners every 31 days to survive.

What is Scar Chain?

Scar Chain (自由の鎖 Sukā Chein?) is a rebellion group of Deadmen that opposes the prison and plan to leak the truth to the rest of the world. They believe in each individual's own personal definition of freedom. However, only three managed to escape Deadman Wonderland while most of the others were killed off by the Undertakers.

What is an Undertaker?

The Undertakers (墓守 Andāteikā?) are Tamaki's special enforcement group, his personal Gestapo composed of some of the worst criminals in Deadman Wonderland that are beyond redemption and are conditioned to become anti-Deadmen with any compassion and morality purged from their minds. The Undertakers possess technology called Worm Eater that allows them to nullify a Deadman's Branch of Sin ability, such that any blood constructs created by Deadmen will revert back to normal blood upon contact with their weapons and armor.

What are Forgeries?

Forgeries - The Forgeries were created by Tamaki in order to inspire fear in the people outside of Deadman Wonderland. At the time, Deadman Wonderland's Carnival Corpse was seen as inhumane, but by putting his Forgeries into the ring, he starts to convince people that Deadmen are monsters that deserve to be treated the way they currently are, if not worse. These man-made Deadmen have the unique ability to create large snake-like tendrils out of their blood, to be forced out of their arms. Any bodily contact with the snakes will cause one's muscles to swell up to the point where, if touched or left for a long period of time, they will burst. It has been seen that the swelling can be cut off at early stages, thus preventing more fatal injuries. All Forgeries wear special masks that keep them hypnotized in a state of euphoria, allowing them to withstand even the most grievous injuries or obey the most irrational orders without a thought.

Complete Forgeries - They are Forgeries who have poison that has evolved. They are supposed to be stronger than even the Deadmen.
