Nagano School Massacre

The Nagano school massacre is the event that started the Deadman Wonderland story. It takes place in the 4th state middle school of the Nagano prefecture. It starts with a regular day, with the students talking and taking their seats. But then, the Red Man appears outside the window while The Lullaby is playing. Ganta Igarashi is the only one who notices this Red Man. The Red Man uses his Branch of Sin and breakes the window. He enters the classroom and massacres everyone but Ganta. Ganta, who fainted during the massacre, wakes up and sees the Red Man approaching. The Red Man shoots a red diamond in Ganta's chest and Ganta faints again.

Aftermath
Ambulances arrive and the vitims are given a burial. Ganta was put in a hospital and soon after that arrested and put charges for murder. Tamaki was appointed as his lawyer. Ganta couldn't prove his innocence and, taking account "numerous pieces of evidence", he was sentenced to death. Ganta is hereby sent to Deadman Wonderland. It was only later revealed that Tamaki was actually the Warden of DW and that the Red Man deliberatly framed Ganta for murder so that he could be taken to DW.
