Revision as of 04:15, 23 April 2024
All of Kuroneko's appearances in the Blood Blockade Battlefront series.
Note: More detailed information is needed for both manga appearances and specific anime episodes.
Manga
Scene Two
In a similar vein to the extra comics included in the Trigun manga volumes, Kuroneko appears alongside Yasuhiro Nightow during the Scene Two Postscript comics included in the following books:
- Blood Blockade Battlefront Volume 1
- Blood Blockade Battlefront Volume 6
Anime
Kuroneko made several cameo appearances in the anime adaptation of the series.
Unlike her previous animated appearances by Madhouse, Kuroneko typically has white eyes, corresponding with Nightow's colored illustrations featuring her.
Opening Animations
fake town baby
Kuroneko makes a minor appearance in the second season's opening animation, set to the song "fake town baby" by UNISON SQUARE GARDEN. Starting at the 20-second mark, she can be seen perched on top of a public rubbish bin, seemingly hanging out with a blonde child in a blue tulip hat. Several people walk or run on the path beside them, including Leonardo Watch, Sonic Speed Monkey and Zapp Renfro.
Ending Animations
Step Up LOVE
Kuroneko also briefly appears in the ending animation for the second season, set to the song "Step Up LOVE" by DAOKO and Yasuyuki Okamura. The scene zooms in on her from behind, she turns her head to the viewer, then winks and strikes a pose with her right front paw and bottom raised into view.
Her colour palette has been slightly altered from her other appearances in order to suit the bright neon color scheme the ending animation uses, with the inside of her ears becoming a hot pink and her eyes being yellow.
Season 1
Episode 1 - Secret Society of the Magic-Sealed City
At 03:11, Kuroneko can be seen licking a child's dropped ice cream cone, during a short exposition montage narrated by Klaus V. Reinherz.
This same montage is subsequently abridged and reused in most other episodes, typically before the opening credits animation. This version has a screen filter, distorted colors and the LIBRA logo embedded onto it, resembling CCTV footage.
