He is a heavily muscled African-American man who is 194 centimeters (or 6'4") in height. [1] Dutch appears to be in his 30s and is completely bald, has brown eyes and an almost-full, black circle beard with the upper lip shaven. Additionally, he wears a moss green flak-jacket over a tank top, military fatigues, U.S. military jungle boots, a belt with a sabertooth tiger skull emblem on the buckle, three gold earrings on each ear, and a pair of circular sunglasses, as his eyes are never shown except through the lens. Whenever he is relaxing, Dutch usually removes his flak-jacket. He carries a Smith & Wesson 629 revolver with him as well as wielding a Remington shotgun on occasion.

Dutch tends to stay away from the fighting associated with Lagoon Company's activities. Instead, he gives orders and negotiates contracts with clients, usually Balalaika of Hotel Moscow . However, Dutch is very capable in combat if need be. He is a calm, easygoing character, and most of the time, is quite friendly. He is also displayed as a mentor figure towards Rock.
Dutch functions as the leader and primary negotiator of the Lagoon Company. He is incredibly level-headed and always committed to completing missions, even when those missions might contrast with his morals. For instance, in "Rasta Blasta," Dutch told Rock to try to maintain as detached from Garcia Lovelace as possible, as to not make himself feel guilty about transporting a child as cargo knowing they were partaking in human trafficking. [2]
Dutch is also highly pragmatic; during the group's assault on the neo-Nazi ship, he calls out Revy for taking her anger out on non-combatants, going so far as to compare her to the mass murderer Charles Whitman. [3] He doesn't particularly care about the civilians' lives, but having one of his employees going around killing whomever she pleases makes his company come off as disorganized and unprofessional, and that is something that he will not tolerate. He also avoids taking high-paying but dangerous jobs because those kinds of jobs are a quick way to get killed.
Dutch represents the strongest level-head in the group; where Revy overreacts and becomes violent and where Rock and Benny freak out, Dutch remains calm, cool, and collected even in the most dangerous situations. Dutch has the respect of the entire Lagoon Company, even being able to keep Revy in check when the situation calls for it. Dutch also has the respect and admiration of Balalaika for his past services, and for once saving her life before the start of the series when Balalaika was shot in a duel with Mister Chang as mentioned in "El Baile de la muerte." [4] Overall, Dutch represents a calm, cool, and collected mercenary who is committed to his missions and commands respect.

Black Lagoon

Eda is a young, Caucasian-American woman who is 165.6 centimeters (or 5'5") in height [2] with waist-length blond hair, pale skin, and blue eyes. She is always seen with angular pink sunglasses even with her nun's habit, and she is often seen smoking and sometimes chewing gum. When she is not in her nun's habit, she wears a miniskirt and a tight tank top that shows off her well-endowed figure. On her upper right arm is a tattoo of a cross moline crucifix with two human skulls facing away from the cross. The tattoo slightly varies in each media appearance; for example, the crucifix may have a halo or heraldic ribbon above, and in some chapters there are different objects surrounding the crucifix, such as thorns or an upside down dagger. Eda's preferred firearm is a Glock 17L, which she wields proficiently. In her spinoff manga, on the other hand, she uses a Walther PPK pistol.
However, when she performs work for the Central Intelligence Agency , her hair is tied up in a bun and only a few of her bangs are on her face, additionally wearing a blue formal, businesswoman suit with glasses and a light shade of pink lipstick as well as gold-hanging earrings. In her spinoff, she wears aviator sunglasses instead of her angular sunglasses.

Eda is well-trained in intelligence and firearms thanks to her CIA training. Nonetheless, Eda has a quick temper and is impatient when a situation does not go as she planned. As a woman of God, she frequently cites Bible verses throughout the series. Eda also frequently teases Revy about her relationship with Rock , occasionally asking her if she finally engaged in sexual intercourse with him and also flirting with Rock whenever she sees him. She is a fervent American nationalist highly loyal to the U.S. CIA in particular, once taunting Mister Chang by telling him that the United States owns the whole world (although she does not like the U.S. NSA). [3] Like Revy and many of Roanapur's denizens, Eda has also expressed racial insensitivity, including referring to Hispanic people as "cholos" [4] and calling the Asian woman Le Majeur "slant eyes." [5]

Furthermore, Enrique cares greatly about having power and making a kingdom led by himself. A particular belief he adheres to is that money is power even if it is not justice. In order to ascertain power, Enrique is willing to ally with anyone who will help him achieve his goal.

Black Lagoon

Fabiola is a young girl who sports the same black French maid uniform and white gloves as Roberta. However, due to her height and build, the uniform is much too big for her. She has a tanned complexion, a skinny but athletic build, and dark-green hair and eyes. Her hair is actually quite long, though it is held up and covered by a white bun cover. She carries multiple weapons on her, such as a knife embedded in her shoe, a pair of MAG-7s hidden in her arm sleeves, and a China Lake grenade launcher on her back.

Fabiola purposefully acts with honor and does her best to avoid killing people, even if she views them as less than dirt. She is skilled in the martial art capoeira, which she utilizes in battle alongside her various weapons. Despite her skills, she has fear after she kills people—a clear indication of her not being a natural-born killer. Indeed, Fabiola is exclusively equipped with oversized or rapid-fire weapons, as both types of weapons compensate for her decreased combat proficiency resulting from inexperience and her actual reluctance to kill. She does not like death, on one occasion becoming enraged when she saw Revy kill a wounded soldier mercilessly. She cares for her master Garcia Lovelace greatly, but does not have the same infatuation that Roberta possesses for Garcia.

Xinlin is an intelligent woman who is skilled in problem solving and cyberhacking. She is quite sociable as noted by other people like Revy and Eda . Given her home province and her use of a Sichuanese word, [1] it is likely that she speaks a Sichuanese dialect of Mandarin, and she also speaks English.

Sawyer is a young woman with a thin build, short dark-purple hair, a light complexion, a large horizontal scar across her throat, and vacant blue eyes. Outside work, she wears eye-shadows, red lipstick, a black choker with a cross pendant, and a gothic style of dress. The most common shirt that she wears is a short-sleeved purple shirt with a cross fleury across the chest. Additionally, she also wears a light-purple striped long-sleeved shirt, a dark plaid skirt with white frills, and knee-length black boots. On her ears, she has several ear piercings, and she has several cuts on her wrists as a result of self-harm. [3] [4]
When she is on the job for corpse disposal, she wears a surgical gown, surgical mask, and various personal protective equipment. In the main manga and anime, Sawyer's hairstyle is a short but thick bob cut with wisps. In her spinoff series, Sawyer's hair length is similar but the hair bun on her head is much larger, and her bangs and the hair on top of her head are straight rather than messy. In volume 4 of the spinoff manga, Sawyer wore an elegant key earring on her left ear for five chapters.

Sawyer is a sociopath who lacks remorse when she kills people with her chainsaw and exhibits various emotional issues. In general, she has a mellow demeanor about her, and she also suffers from depression. She has a vulnerable side, as shown by her blushing and smiling when she becomes the center of attention and in her response to losing her electrolarynx. She has also made morbid jokes, like when she drew jam-smeared bread as a metaphor for a mattress stained with human remains. Although she communicates with her voicebox, Sawyer can also communicate and get others' attention non-verbally via facial expressions, tickling, [5] and tracing letters onto people's skin. [6] She does not take her friendships for granted, as she has a close and personal bond with Shenhua and Lotton as well as a sister-like bond with her other friends Bunny the Undertaker and The Undertaker No. 2 . Likewise, it is shown that she has given thoughtful gifts to her friends, such as the cross necklace that Lotton later wore [7] and the teddy bear that she had gifted to Bunny. [8]
Sawyer has a tendency for her mood to swing. A common mood swing for her is gaining an urge to gleefully kill attackers whenever put in a tense situation, and she will become quiet or depressed suddenly depending on the situation. For example, she will be in a happy mood but then suddenly freeze or become depressed and crawl into a ball upon losing her electrolarynx. [9] [10] On one occasion, she was enjoying her time with Dutch and showed him a teddy bear, but she then became gloomy and depressed when Dutch had no interest in her toy due to her previous attack on the Lagoon Company dry dock. [11] Besides her emotional issues, Sawyer suffers from seasickness and does not enjoy traveling on watercraft. [12] [13]

In "El Baile de la muerte," Garcia wears a pomp and power-colored suit coat and shorts above the knee, a white dress shirt, a light-yellow necktie, black long socks, and black shoes.

Garcia appears as a shrewd and confident boy who shows much loyalty to his servitors and Diego Lovelace. He takes much pride in his family name. Initially, he had immature qualities like a tendency to pout. After his father's passing, Garcia became more solemn in his demeanor. He reasoned that he had to act like an adult and needed to stop moping and accept that things sometimes would not go his way in order to run his estate and take care of those closest to him, particularly Roberta . In like manner, he treats his maids Roberta and Fabiola Iglesias as if they were family, and the two women in turn treat Garcia equally good.

Outwardly, Ginji was a calm and serious individual who, in tandem with his appearance, had an imposing presence. Compared to Revy , he was just as vicious, violent, and sadistic. Ginji did, however, genuinely enjoy his life as a street stall vendor after leaving his life as an assassin behind. He was also close with Yukio Washimine, whom he protected for a time and hoped that she would live a normal life despite her family's criminal background.

The twins' true genders were unknown, but they dressed as a boy and a girl, and regularly switched between them. The boy, Hänsel, had short white hair, and the girl, Gretel, wore a long wig of the same color. They shared the same gray eyes, sharp canine teeth, pale skin, skinny build, and both wore black gothic attire. Gretel carried around a M1918A2 BAR concealed by a blanket, and Hänsel wielded an incredibly sharp battle axe as well as two small revolvers hidden in his jacket.

As a result of rampant childhood sexual abuse and being forced to murder other children, the twins enjoyed killing others for the sake of killing, believing that killing other humans extended their own lifespans. Furthermore, the twins also acted incestuously with one another, having a tendency to express this most intensely during charged situations such as murders or narrow escapes. They had literally bathed in the blood of people whom they killed, albeit initially doing so by force. Unknown to most people, "Hänsel" and "Gretel" were also actually two personalities alternately adopted by the two children, both of whom suffered from dissociative identity disorder , meaning they swapped their identities as "Hänsel" and "Gretel" with each other from time to time. Although mentally unwell, Hänsel and Gretel were also cunning, having used one of the local Thai orphans as a decoy to distract the bounty hunters and using money to distract Eda . [1] They were also not above using their innocent appearance to deceive their enemies.
Due to their abuse, the two children did not believe in God, believing that any higher power had abandoned them and wondered why they had to suffer such abuse. In their spare time, Gretel was a very talented singer, as shown when she sang for Rock, causing Dutch to remark "[The] Girl sure can sing. Hard to believe it's the voice of a homicidal maniac. A devil with the voice of an angel." [2] Because of their upbringing in Sicily, the twins can speak some Italian. Likewise, despite their ruthless upbringing, the twins seemed well-read. During a conversation about the writer of the quote "The ultimate love is cannibalism," they listed off Richard Matheson and Edgar Allen Poe, with "Hänsel" accusing the latter of being a necrophiliac. [3] Both children also sang nursery rhymes such as "The Juniper Tree" by the Brothers Grimm. [4]

She is very fast, which aids her in using her katana against enemies. When fighting, she generally shows no expressions while cutting down her enemies. One reason she has to wear glasses is due to her nearsightedness, and she has the unusual ability to hypnotize people and control their minds via eye contact.

Little is known about Jane, however she is an ardent perfectionist. While she was working on the counterfeiting plates for the Nuevo Laredo Cartel, she passed the deadline by two months and exceeded the budget by $200,000. Even after being threatened multiple times, she refused to compromise with them, believing that perfection requires patience. She is also prideful about her work, given how she reacts whenever it is threatened. Moreover, she is quite sexually liberal (according to Benny); Revy once called her a "bonafide fuck freak." [2] Besides English, Jane is able to speak some German. [3]

Jessica is a young Caucasian woman of American nationality. She has a skinny build, pale skin, long blond hair with bangs parted to the right side of her face, a small nose, and colored irises. She wears an Alice in Wonderland dress , a black hairband, and short-heeled shoes. Although her primary weapon is a two-handed garrote wire, she also carries a capsule of a deadly neurotoxin liquid (most likely sarin), a knife, and a pistol.

Jessica almost always maintains a smile, and when she does not smile, she always maintains her composure and has never acted angrily or in a rash manner. She has a happy-go-lucky demeanor and acts friendly and polite with everyone. Like any serial murderer, Jessica has a total disregard for human life, and she maintains a playful demeanor to people who stand in her way. She seeks out violence to a sadistic degree, once hammering a person to death and coldly remarking afterward that the person cried awkwardly when she beat them to death, as well as enjoying killing people with her garrote wire.
She also enjoys using her feigned innocence to provoke anger in others like she did when she intentionally removed Bunny the Undertaker 's mask, and according to herself she views people whom she has interest in as "pets." Jessica is also willing to put her life in danger if it means killing her opponent as demonstrated when she threatened to fill a room with her poisonous liquid even though she was in range. Despite her callous actions toward people, she seems to care for her sister Jacqueline and shows great loyalty to her mother Baba Yaga . She is greatly skilled with her garrote wire, but in contrast she is not as adept at using her pistol.

[5] He is always seen wearing dark sunglasses even indoors, and he frequently wears black suits and vests over a white dress shirt. His physical appearance is based on the Hong Kong actor Chow Yun-fat 's appearance in The Bund . [6] Like Revy , he is adept with dual-wielding pistols in a fashion similar to that of gun-fu, [7] and favors a pair of Beretta 76 pistols. The grips of these weapons are inscribed with two Chinese symbols (天帝) which mean "Heavenly Emperor." [8] He is a frequent smoker and is seen smoking in every story that he appears in.

Chang seems easily amused and unusually easygoing and lighthearted, especially given his position. Nothing seems to surprise or phase him, which could be attributed to the fact that he was once a member of law enforcement. [9] His past as a police officer may explain his combat expertise, although he has stated that he does not actually do much fighting as a Triad boss. [7] He was also able to escape from ambush of superior number of Hezbollah agents, disarm Fabiola Iglesias easily, and survive a shootout with the twins while several of his men were killed. His expertise is often overshadowed by his easygoing character, in comparison with the other, more serious characters. Despite this, Chang no longer engages in combat unless forced. Before his shootout with Revy, he admitted it had been a while since being in the field, [8] and another time Balalaika asked him if she would finally get to see him with a gun in his hand again, to which Chang replied that he did not "dislike getting in the game once in a while." [10]
Chang has said that what he hates most in the world is hypocrisy, saying it was even worse than what people call "evil" and like a poison that affects both the victim and the user. He also referred to himself as being "a guard dog who burned with justice" when he worked for the police despite having told Balalaika on another occasion that morality and justice have never really suited him. Unlike most criminal bosses in the town, he advocates cooperation and joint ventures in order to keep the status quo in Roanapur, which he has reiterated to fellow crime bosses at his summits at The Golden Swingin Night Club . Chang believes that unless the bosses who run Roanapur from the shadows cooperate to keep its inhabitants in line, the city will end up in the evening news and the minds of politicians, which will ultimately lead to its destruction. [11] He also emphasizes that his own syndicate's primary goal is to advance its business and conspire for profit. [1] Like Balalaika, Chang is courteous enough to compensate people in town for damages to their workplace caused by the Triad's involvement. [12]

Revy is a Chinese-American, [4] [5] slightly tan-skinned woman who appears to be in her mid to late twenties. She is 165.6 centimeters tall (or 5'5") [1] and has upper back-length burgundy hair (brown hair in the manga) that she typically keeps in a low loose ponytail, including rather large bangs falling onto her forehead on either side along with two shoulder-length side locks framing her face. Moreover, she has amber-brown eyes, a tribal tattoo on her upper right arm that reaches all the way up to her neck, and a slightly muscular build that she does not conceal in the least.

Revy is a troubled, loud, rude, sarcastic, deadly, competitive, short-tempered, cynical, confident and considerably aggressive person who also exhibits a wild temperament. Unlike Rock , Revy is undiplomatic, believing in the use of brute force and coercion to get her way. Out of all the characters in the series, Revy uses the foulest language and is also a heavy smoker and drinker. Revy is merciless and sadistic, and she is more than capable of killing anyone, even unarmed civilians. Despite her merciless nature, she is also capable of being humorous and witty, and she can be quite a talker when she is not mad. Another aspect of her personality is her racial insensitivity:

She has mocked Shenhua 's broken English and syntax by calling her "yes-lady" (「ですだよ」姉ちゃん). [7] In the English versions of the anime and manga, the term Revy uses toward Shenhua is "Chinglish," which is a portmanteau of Chinese and English. She has used the anti-Chinese slur "chinky" toward Feng Yifei . [8] She has demeaned Leigharch for his Irish heritage (in the English version of the anime, she calls him a "Leprechaun," whereas in the manga, the insult she uses toward him is the anti-Irish slur "mick"). [7] She refers to Isaac as "that creepy Jew." [9] She calls a FARC soldier a "beaner." [10] She has referred to Eastern European people by the slur "bohunk." [9] [11] She refers to the Frenchwomen of Les Cinq Doigts as "frogs." [12]

Although most people call her "Revy," she usually addresses herself as Rebecca to elderly people like Sister Yolanda and Praiyachat . At the beginning of the series, Revy was a merciless, sadistic and skilled killer without conscience, more than ready to kill anyone at the slightest provocation, even unarmed civilians (as demonstrated in the U-boat rampage), [13] and she kills in cold blood as seen when she murders a wounded FARC soldier after promising him to take him to a hospital in exchange for him disclosing Roberta 's location. [14] She takes maniacal glee in killing anyone she fights or otherwise comes into conflict with, while having very little remorse for her victims. Whilst appearing to be driven by general bloodlust, it is shown throughout the series that Revy subconsciously uses violence as a dysfunctional and destructive coping mechanism and outlet for her deeply repressed emotional and psychological issues. An example of this is when she becomes uneasy at the idea of accepting Rock into the Lagoon Company ; Revy then vents her trust issues by becoming particularly unpredictable during several ensuing missions and getting what Dutch refers to as " Whitman fever," going on indiscriminate shooting rampages and executing hostiles and innocent bystanders alike. However, it should be noted that the above incident was indicated by Dutch to have been rather out of character for her, and he harshly chastised her for it. [13]
The inhabitants of Roanapur tend to take Revy at face value as an incredibly destructive, volatile, sadistic, gun-crazed psychopath and this is how Revy initially thinks of herself, ignoring the psychological trauma and emotional turmoil that fuels her behavior, possibly putting on this act to prevent others from discovering her emotional scars, keeping them hidden even from herself. It is only when Rock arrives and begins to confront her over her actions, as opposed to immediately backing off or enabling her, that she begins to develop some reluctant introspection and to seriously think about who she has become and who she really is.
One of the ways Revy's subconscious pain and emotional scars manifest themselves is her aversion to the empathy of others or others trying to relate to her. People presuming to understand what she has been through or how it has affected her is a huge trigger for Revy, causing her to react in a violent rage, suggesting the depth of the bitterness and grief her early life has bred into her. She has a changing but volatile attitude towards Rock, the at-the-time newest and most outspokenly humane crew member of the Lagoon Company. Although she respects him later in the series, she is at first mostly hostile towards Rock, as she tried to intentionally kill him on at least two occasions and threatened him on countless others. However, she does have a tendency to save Rock from critical situations, and later on, she becomes closer to him.
Due to an impoverished upbringing which involved verbal, physical and sexual abuse from those who had power over her (such as her father and the police), Revy has developed an obsession towards power, over both herself and others, which causes her to appear fiercely independent and violently assertive, often using verbal or physical violence as a response to anyone who crosses her or to assert her dominance. However, while Revy initially appears to be tough, savage and strong-minded, her exterior actually covers up a profound lack of inner-strength and fear of the powerlessness she felt as a child. Her independence is actually more of a reactive attachment disorder, alienating others as much as possible to prevent the exposure of her own weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Revy believes the chief source of power in life is money, the "one thing everyone respects and agrees on," [15] and consequently has developed an obsession with maximizing the profits from each job as much as possible, such as ransoming others and looting corpses when she feels that the Lagoon Company is not paid enough given the risks involved and/or the work put in.
Later on in the series, it is suggested that, despite her insistence otherwise, deep down Revy actually hates Roanapur, her lifestyle and the person she has become, and that she wants to change but does not know how. In Tokyo, Revy opens up to Rock, saying that she has lived "on dirty air" her whole life and, though she temporarily forgot it, she would be incapable of living in "a good place" like the one Rock came from. In Roberta's Blood Trail , after Revy states that Fabiola Iglesias sees the world as a garden of roses, Fabiola retorts that Revy is actually the one who sees the world as a garden of roses, one that she herself was expelled from. [16] This feeling that she was unreasonably denied a happy life causes Revy to adamantly view the world as bleak and desolate, to the exclusion of all contradictory evidence.
One of her funnier aspects is sometimes being quite forgetful; during the "Greenback Jane" arc she was unable to recall remembering Lotton the Wizard , let alone shooting him, much to Shenhua and Sawyer 's amusement and falling for Roberta's trick that her shoe was untied. Revy has not completed formal education, most likely due to her poor & horrible upbringing and her dropping out of junior high. Despite her lack of formal education, she does have some deduction skills, and she is able to understand a little Spanish [10] and claims to know a tiny bit of Cantonese. [8]
In Volume 10, Revy suggests, though does not outright confirm, bisexuality by telling Jane that she has "won over some sex-starved dykes by playing the man's role." It should be noted however, that this statement was given in the context of a threat; she was in no uncertain terms telling Jane to back off of Rock after Jane revealed that she wanted to involve him in an orgy. [17] Outside of these instances (one of them being an out-and-out joke), Revy does not seem to have either a sex life or any visible interest in sex, possibly due to the trauma she went through when a corrupt policeman raped her. [18]
She has also complained on a few occasions about Jane's overt love of sex. Despite this, in the manga, she was involved in Rowan 's S&M show, which may have been more to satisfy her sadism as well as her subconscious self-loathing (or simply as an easy way of making money). Conversely, Rowan stated in the anime that he wanted Revy to return to his employment as she was an S/M dancer previously, to which she retorted, "Forget it, Rowan. I'm not coming back. Even if there is whipping." [19] Revy has a particular degree of comfort around Rock wherein she is comfortable wearing lesser clothing around him, indicated in various chapters. [20] [21] [22]

Black Lagoon

Roberta is a young Hispanic [2] woman with a skinny build and pale skin, and she has a height of 169.8 centimeters (or 5'7"). [3] She has waist-length, dark purple hair that is tied in low pigtail braids with square bangs hanging over her eyebrows, blue eyes and sharp canine teeth.
After she fled FARC , Roberta is seen wearing a long French maid uniform with a cross necklace, white gloves, and black shoes. Her large, thick and round glasses are not real as she wears them as part of her maid persona.

Roberta is a considerably well-mannered woman despite her murderous past. It is shown that it takes quite a lot to get her upset or angry as seen when Bao insulted her and shoved a drink her way, spilling alcohol on her face. [5] She does not often talk to strangers, but she is very protective and friendly around people she knows, loves and/or trusts. Roberta is bilingual, with her native language being Spanish. Roberta is a Catholic who is deeply religious, constantly claiming her actions are in the name of Santa Maria. She is also seen praying to repent for her sins and asking for the sins of Garcia Lovelace and Diego Lovelace to be forgiven. [6] She is also heard thanking Eda for her help making her arrangements to confront U.S. soldiers and calmly promised her a painless death. [7]
On another occasion, she even gave a friendly bow to the Manisarera Cartel as she let tons of grenades fall from her long maid outfit. [8] When she does become angry, she is a truly spine-chilling rival, being seen as virtually unbeatable by her opponents. In contrast, whenever she takes on her Bloodhound persona, Roberta's demeanor shifts dramatically, casting aside her typical reserved and soft-spoken mask in favor of complete, unhinged rage and berserk bloodlust.


Black Lagoon

Rock is a fair-skinned, Japanese ex-salaryman with a skinny build and a height of 173 centimeters (or 5'8"). [2] His black hair has fringe on the right side, and he has brown eyes. Eda , who likes to tease Rock, defines him as "handsome," but little is known about how others perceive his physical appearance beyond noticing his grooming. In the manga, Rock's employee information shows that he was born in August 1974, making him 20 years old at the beginning of the manga series (early 1995). [4] In contrast, the anime shows that he was born on August 21, 1970, making him 24 at the anime's beginning in 1995 (though his employee certificate erroneously says 25 as his age). [1]
Despite being a pirate, Rock is able to retain his business persona by continuing to wear a teal neck tie, short-sleeved dress shirt, slacks, and dress shoes. From the outside, Rock appears as a normal person, which ironically makes him stand out from the rest of Roanapur 's residents. On the other hand, Revy preferred Rock to wear the Hawaiian shirt that she bought for him when he first joined the company. Being who he is, Rock prefers his usual wear even when he is at Yellow Flag or on a job. Ultimately, Rock not abandoning his Japanese salaryman appearance represents his lingering attachment to his old way of life.

Rock is a humble and good-natured person despite being on the business end of guns from friends and foe alike. Initially, he is often surprised at the barbarity of the international criminal underworld. Although in the criminal world, he maintains his business persona by wearing his business outfit. He is not a fighter in any way, but rather a pacifist who prefers to use words over weapons when interacting with the hostile people encountered on the job. Rock, from joining the Lagoon Company, has occasionally wondered if he is experiencing Stockholm syndrome , consequentially developing a friendship with his former captors and current co-workers. Yukio Washimine once described him as someone who was neither in a civilian nor criminal world but rather in the twilight, unable to chose between a life of crime or normality. [5]
Within the Lagoon Company, Rock is usually responsible for account management, diplomacy, negotiation, translation, interpretation, and running occasional errands. Having worked in the resource department of Asahi Industries, Rock is skilled in geology and chemistry. He is also a skilled linguist due to frequent traveling from his previous job, being able to speak various languages such as Japanese (his native language), English, [3] Spanish, [6] some Russian, [7] and has some familiarity with Romance languages, [8] including some French. [9] He also has a surprisingly high tolerance for alcohol, owing to the heavy drinking lifestyle of a ladder climbing salaryman. [1]
Rock's earnest personality has earned him the interest and respect of several characters in Roanapur , which caused those like Balalaika , Mr. Chang , Rowan , Sister Yolanda and Eda to develop an interest in him, and the young Garcia Lovelace , whom he trusts to the greatest degree. In many ways, Rock is the heart of the Lagoon Company, serving as a balance for his more jaded teammates and as a bright spot in the world of darkness that is Roanapur. He retains a strong sense of right and wrong, trying to hold on to and share his beliefs with others in Roanapur. He is often shocked and horrified by how people suffer from the injustices of the criminal underworld despite his best efforts, wearing him down as the series progresses. Although physically weak and unarmed, Rock has shown tremendous courage to stand up for himself, others, and for what he believes is right as seen when he clashes with other characters over their immoral actions, especially Revy. Despite not being adept at combat, he is significantly faster and stronger than he looks, as he was able to disarm Revy after she tried to execute him at point blank range, and take a punch from her in the face without so much as flinching.
Rock is one of the smartest and most resourceful people in Roanapur. Having perfected the job of a businessman, Rock is excellent at gathering information and knows how to fully utilize them to his favor. His attention to details and ability to piece information together has earned him praise from an intellectual individual like Sister Yolanda as well as Mister Chang himself. Because of his unconventional way of thinking, Rock is able to formulate solutions and think of scenarios that no one can ever think of. Even when driven to a corner, Rock is capable of thinking under pressure to calculate and come up with the best course of actions for most circumstances. While he has not personally killed any person, Rock has suggested and organized plans for other people to kill people, such as his torpedo plan in "Black Lagoon," his plan to trick and kill several fighters in "Goat, Jihad, Rock'N Roll," and his ambush plan in "L'homme sombre." Despite being an excellent critical thinker and problem solver, Rock's deadliest intellect lies with his gift to pick the most effective but riskiest solution in existence, prompting other characters to characterize his actions as that of a high stakes gambler.
He is one of the "luckiest" characters in the series as he managed to survive every single thing he experienced from being taken hostage to being shot at. Thus far, he has survived the wrath of Revy, Balalaika, Roberta and Frederica Sawyer , all without using a weapon other than his wit and running away.
Later in the series, Rock begins to enjoy his life as a pirate, becoming even more comfortable with corruption, and it is shown that a darker side of his personality had begun to emerge. In Roberta's Blood Trail , he is personally appointed by Mister Chang to help Garcia and Fabiola Iglesias track down Roberta before she finds the American Special Forces unit that killed Diego Lovelace (Garcia's father), before she and the unit kill each other and endanger Roanapur to destruction at the hands of the United States. Rock knows that Chang does not care if Garcia or Roberta is killed and only wants to keep Roanapur out of the eyes of the world for its drug trafficking. Rock manages to turn Chang's plan around by demonstrating exceptional deductive reasoning skills, figuring out every factions' motives and playing on them. He manages to give the Americans an escape route out of Roanapur, towards their mission area in Laos, as well as having Roberta follow them and have Garcia snap Roberta out of her psychotic rampage. However, doing all that requires him to use the same callous and manipulative thinking as Chang, and he even seems to find the same sense of power over others psychologically rewarding.
However, this apparent change in Rock alienates and disturbs the other characters, particularly Revy and Dutch, who do not understand Rock's motives and think he is simply doing it to extract a large reward from Garcia, causing them to fear that Rock is becoming sadistic, selfish, cunning, and ruthless due to being corrupted by Roanapur. However, he does it entirely because he wanted to save someone, and manages to achieve Chang's goal of keeping the U.S. out as well as saving Fabiola, Garcia and Roberta. Fabiola, enraged by Rock's high-risk strategy which involved manipulating Garcia into a game of "Cambodian Roulette" with Roberta and gambling with people's lives, shoots him with a blank and states that she hopes to never see him again. Months later, things had not changed in Roanapur and Rock begins to think he has not made a difference at all. Revy later tells him that it will hurt him if he continues to look at Roanapur with life in his eyes, to which Rock responds that he came close to the darkness but is not ready for it yet. [10]
For a time after this, Rock remained perturbed by the concluding events of the "El Baile de la muerte" arc and withdrew completely from his usual shtick of trying to help people. [11] However, the introduction of Feng Yifei saw him revert to his previous behavior. After telling Revy about his decision to not get involved in other peoples' misfortunes, she, not wanting Rock's altruistic nature fading further away, chose to involve herself in Feng's issues in order to involve Rock. Rock was able to bring Feng's difficulties to a successful conclusion, and despite engineering the deaths of several assassins, he was able to find a niche to settle into which enabled him to be ruthless but in the pursuit of an ultimately noble goal.
The primary difference between this and his previous endeavor appears simply to be his willingness to tell his associates about his plans rather than manipulating them. He also appeared, through conversations with Feng about the nature of freedom versus security, to come to a more thorough understanding of himself and what he wants out of life. In the recent arc "L'homme sombre," he further solidifies this "Robin Hood"-esque role for himself, as he engineers the deaths of several more assassins in the aim of both protecting Dutch and keeping Roanapur as chaos-free as he can manage. This role seems to have sucked Revy in as well, and she has become something of a partner in Rock's problem solving endeavors, functioning primarily as fire support.
Dutch has stated earlier that he believes Rock should never wield a gun because if his bullets were like his words, they would ricochet back to them. [12]

[3] He is also easily fooled, as demonstrated by becoming a ninja due to a magazine advertisement [2] and Triad members pretending that his disguise worked. As a part of his exaggerated ninja persona, he also frequently states philosophical proverbs concerning people's character such as loyalty and maintaining one's calmness.

Black Lagoon

Shenhua is a young woman with a skinny and tall build, pale skin, and dark cyan eyes. She has knee-length dark-blue hair with chest-length bangs covering the right side of her face, and she always wears red nail polish, lipstick and eyeliner.
Her hair is styled differently in the two anime series:

In the first two seasons of the Black Lagoon anime, she ties her hair in a low ponytail at the top. In the Roberta's Blood Trail OVAs, she ties her hair at the bottom.

She has been seen wearing a Rose Chinese cheongsam that shows both of her legs, along with a white jacket. She has a strap holding throwing knives on both legs. On top of all of this, she also wears two long, red, tassel-like earrings on both ears.

Shenhua is an assassin who takes good care of her personal appearance, and she is also very proud of her native Taiwanese heritage; specifically she is descended from benshengren people, who migrated from mainland China to settle in Taiwan long before other mainland Chinese people ( waishengren ) fled to Taiwan after 1945. [1] [2] In addition to her native Chinese, she only knows just enough English to work and communicate with the other people in Roanapur and does not care about grammar or structure. Her broken English earns her nicknames like "Yes-lady" ("Chinglish" in the English version) from Revy , but those who know her well are more concerned with her expertise with throwing knives and blades. In the main series, it is not specified which Sinitic language that Shenhua speaks, though Mandarin is used in the manga and anime by the editors and staff since it is the Sinitic language most commonly defaulted to when people think of the term "Chinese language." In the Black Lagoon light novel Shaitane Badi , Shenhua is shown to be able to speak Cantonese, [3] and in the light novel Ballad of the Sinful Wizard , she is shown to also understand the Hokkien language. [4] In contrast, in the spinoff manga Dismemberment Galore! The Gore Gore Girl , she has claimed that she cannot understand a word of Mandarin. [5]
Her primary weapon involves two kukri blades tied together with a long rope, and she can swing them around, throw them, and quickly pull them back. Her personal philosophy in using such weapons is that guns run out of bullets, while blades and the human body will never fail. Despite her line of work and her attitude toward Revy, she is quite kind, as she recognizes Garcia Lovelace's chivalry and even offered him to stay at her place. [6] Likewise, Black Lagoon creator Rei Hiroe said that Shenhua allowed Sawyer and Lotton to live with her because she is a caring person. [7] A difference between the anime and manga versions of Shenhua involve her religion. In the manga, she mentions to Eda that she is Taoist and is not bothered with killing nuns. In the anime, she refers to herself as an atheist and is not bothered because morals never get in the way of her work.

However, she did use her customized Desert Eagle on one occasion, being able to fire it with one hand and with great accuracy, seemingly unaffected by the gun's infamous weight and heavy recoil.
