Summary
A massive anomaly ravaged Japan's mainland and destroyed most of Tokyo, sinking three-quarters of the city into the ocean.
Ten years later, the story shifts to Ganta Igarashi, a seemingly ordinary student attending Nagano Prefecture's middle school. As an escapee, a survivor of the great earthquake, Ganta has no memories of the tragedy and has lived a normal life. This all changes when a strange person covered in blood and crimson armor floats through his classroom windows. Grinning madly, the 'Red Man' massacres Ganta's entire class but instead of killing him, embeds a red crystal shard in Ganta's chest. Within days of the massacre, Ganta is subjected to a kangaroo court as a suspect and is sentenced to death at Deadman Wonderland, a prison that doubles as a theme park.
Arriving at the prison, Ganta is fitted with a special collar which monitors his location and vital signs. A lethal poison is constantly injected into his bloodstream through the collar, but it can be neutralized by consuming a peculiar candy-like medicine every three days, which can be acquired through various activities in the prison, i.e. performing for audiences, working backstage, purchasing with Cast Points (a form of currency among inmates at Deadman Wonderland), etc. To gather Cast Points, an inmate must perform in the facility's lethal games and survive. Fortunately for Ganta, he is aided by a mysterious girl named Shiro who apparently knows Ganta but whose existence is unknown to the other prisoners.
While trying to survive as an inmate on death row, Ganta intends to find the 'Red Man' to clear his name. In a bizarre twist, Ganta begins to develop the ability to manipulate his own blood, to the point of turning it into a weapon. Unknown to Ganta, he has become one of the prison's "Deadmen," an isolated group of prisoners possessing the Branches of Sin an ability which makes them capable of controlling their blood. After his ability is discovered, Ganta is forced to participate in brutal gladiatorial death matches known as Carnival Corpse, whose anonymous spectators pay large amounts of money to watch. In his long struggle to survive he manages to befriend some of those he fought off in the arena and with their help, Ganta continues his quest to uncover the identity of the 'Red Man', why he turned into a Deadman, and the dark secrets the prison authorities are hiding.

In a hurry Ganta tries to leave before the penalty game can begin but, is already too late, the show has already begun. Ganta explains to Nagi that he must stop Minatsuki from getting hurt. Nagi understands, makes a call and has the slot machine rigged, which results in Minatski only having her hair cut.
Before they can celebrate, Genkaku appears with a wounded Yō. Ganta then tries to attack him but his Branch of Sin doesn't seem to effect Genkaku. Preparing to teach Ganta a lesson, Genkaku readies his weapon, two machine guns disguised as an electric guitar

Episode 12 - Relief (Grateful Dead)
July 2, 2011
Tamaki is talking to Major Aohi, with Aohi stating that it's such a relief that the inspection is nearly over and that Tamaki lined up a big show for them. Tamaki replies that Deadman Wonderland is a mere microcosm of the business world. A little diorama, laying bare the system's realities." He turns to face the major and says with a smile that behind all the beautiful music, rages the ugliest of battles. Major Aohi frowns and retorts back saying that Tamaki is the one behind the bloodshed. Tamaki disagrees, smiling as ever. He says he's merely a facilitator, making those maniacs earn their freedom.
The scene changes to Nagi, continuing his rage, attacking with his Branch of Sin and killing people indiscriminately with it. Ganta hurries over to Karako, who barely manages to lift her head to see Nagi, who is still killing the guards. In seeing this, Ganta comments that Karako is so kind and strong, to which Karako claims she was weak. She says she wasn't able to protect him. Nagi continues rampaging, blowing up his Owl's Eyeball everywhere. After this, Hibana yells that he's killing their workers. Genkaku calmly stands there, with his Flying V Nirvana over his shoulder and cigarette in teeth, smiling, with a deranged pyshcopathic look on his face. Hibana trails off, with Karako commenting that she is weak.
Meanwhile, Nagi has now approached Shiro and attempts to punch her, but Ganta has instead took the blow. Nagi keeps hitting Ganta, asking why are they all alive. Shiro asks what Ganta is doing, and that protecting her won't make her forgive Ganta for hitting her. Ganta begs for Nagi to stop, but Nagi doesn't, while Shiro claims she doesn't want Ganta saving her, and he should go away. She stops her protests when Ganta falls to the ground. Nagi prepares to knock out Shiro too, but Ganta pushes her away and he takes the punch again. Shiro calls Ganta a weakling and an idiot, telling him to move.
Karako is pushing herself across the floor, obviously in pain, asking Nagi to stop. Nagi's face is contorted with insanity, and Ganta asks why Nagi is like this. Ganta explains that there is no time for revenge. Nagi thinks about his child, his hope, and says that is now gone. He punches Ganta again, and Shiro goes to help Ganta. Ganta gets up and asks how Nagi can say that. He says that he knows how it feels, knowing the dead won't return, thinking about Mimi, Yamakatsu and the Red Man. He continues by saying that there is still hope, still light around him. Karako's bell rings and Nagi regains some of his sanity. Ganta exclaims that Nagi can't see it because his head is too low.
