Shion is revealed to be the main antagonist of Crimson-Shell, having been the Jet Rose, the leader of the villainous Black Roses. Shion infiltrated the Crimson-Shell Division under the guise of a newly inducted Red Rose member in pursuit of Claudia's Seed - having hoped that it'd bring The Madman back to the Black Roses. Unfortunately however, Shion was discovered by Baines and Xeno, and so in order to maintain his façade, Shion turned Xeno into one of the Victims and sent him off to attack Claudia while Shion himself faked his death. As his plans reach their pinnacle, Shion reveals himself to Claudia prior to his attempt to have Xeno kill her and take the Premier Seed. Fortunately, Xeno overcomes Shion's poison, ultimately leading to Shion being shot with a Death Scythe before Xeno himself succumbs to the poison. Curiously enough, both Shion's and Xeno's bodies went missing, leaving Shion's fate unknown.

Appearance[]

Shion has short white hair that reaches his neck and light purple eyes. When he was in his Red Rose uniform he wore a white, long sleeved, buttoned up coat with red lining and black pants with a checkered pattern on the bottom. His shoes are white boots that go past his ankles and wears a checkered bracelet on his right arm. When he appeared in his normal attire Shion wore a black jacket with double buttons and long sleeves with a purple rose around his neck hung on string. Underneath is a white collared, long sleeved shirt which shows his Black Rose brand along with black pants and knee-high black boots.

Personality[]

Shion appears as a cheerful and innocent young boy when he initially joins the Red Rose Division. But in reality he is a deceiving and manipulative young man who's main goal is to destroy Claudia. Sometimes he is overtaken and seems emotionally unstable, such as the flashbacks when he remembers The Madman's words about the Black Roses being a failure and blames Claudia's existence as the true failure. At times he becomes overtaken and erupts into fits of rage, suggesting mental instability, mainly demonstrated when he blames Claudia for being the true failure. It is implied, however, that beneath his shell lies a deeply troubled and hurt child, blinded by the events of his past that have led him to his turn of evil.

History[]

CS manga - Shion Victoria in past

Shion trying to find the Crimson Rose with Victoria.

Five years prior to the beginning of the story Shion, Victoria, and others were taken by The Madman as the test subjects for his experiments to develop a human-rose mutation. From this, Shion and Victoria became Black Roses, and Shion, who was highly compatible with the seed, became a Jet Rose.

When the perfect mutation of the Roses, the Crimson Rose, was created The Madman disappeared. The Madman's assistants in the lab began to have difficulties controlling the Black and Jet Roses, and decided to get rid of them. This made Shion frustrated and enraged, so he decided to kill the Crimson Rose. Victoria posed as Gerhart's personal assistant so the Black Roses could infiltrate the Crimson-Shell Division, and obtain Shion's goal of killing the Crimson Rose.

Trivia[]

  • Despite the official English translations spelling his name as Shion, Jun Mochizuki spells his name as 'Zion' on one of his sketch pages shown in her 'Odds & Ends' artbook and some other artworks.[1]
  • Shion's last name can be interpreted as an allusion to the Liddell family, the original inspiration for the Alice in Wonderland books.
