Carnival Corpse

This is the article about the event in Deadman Wonderland, if you are looking for the manga chapter with the same title, click here.

Carnival Corpse (also referred to as Corpse Carnival) is a game very similar to gladiator battles in the coloseum in Rome. The similarity is the sick, brutal battles that are viewed upon as entertainment. In this case, the gladiators are Deadmen, and before each battle, the viewers take bets on who will win.

The names of the participants are changed to aliases, after birds. For example, Ganta was granted the title Woodpecker, Minatsuki was granted the title Hummingbird, Toto was granted the title Mockingbird, and so on. Every alias hints to an ability or character-trait of the Deadman.



The loser of the battle, if still alive, will be sent to a special room where a slot machine decides what will be removed from the loser's body. There are several variations to what the doctors remove, ranging from organs to limbs and even hair. The winner is granted CP, Candy and a trophy.
