The Victims (ビクティム, Bikutimu) are a group of individuals from Jun Mochizuki's Crimson-Shell. They are people who were poisoned and subsequently controlled by Black Roses against their will.
Physiology[]
A person turns into a Victim when they are infected with a Black Rose's poison — the transformation occurs almost instantly, although Xeno's physical transformation was greatly stalled due to his strong will.
Those who become Victims completely lose their sanity, as well as their human form — their body parts slowly mutate, transforming into a monstrous humanoid with enlarged strong arms, veiny and rough blackened skin, sunken facial features, and dead eyes. If a Black Rose is powerful enough, like a Jet Rose, they are able to control their Victims movements, actions, and even words.[1]
There is no known cure for the poison, and once someone turns into a Victim, they're unable to overcome the power of the poison or turn back into a human — there is nothing that one can do to save one of the Victims apart from killing them.[2]
Powers and Abilities[]
- Enhanced Strength - Victims have a body stronger and larger than that of humans, requiring the Crimson Rose's powers to be stopped

Trivia[]
- No Victim has managed to resist the infection, but Xeno was the one who came closest to salvation, due to his strong will and Claudia's constantly calling out to his soul — although he too eventually succumbed to the poison.
