Frederica Sawyer (フレデリカ・ソーヤー Furederika Sōyā),[1][2] also known as Sawyer the Cleaner (掃除屋ソーヤー Sōjiya Sōyā) or simply Sawyer (ソーヤー Sōyā), is a young woman who specializes in corpse disposal in Roanapur. In addition to her regular job, Sawyer is also a freelancer who partners up with her friends Shenhua and Lotton. She is also the titular character of the first official Black Lagoon spinoff series Dismemberment Galore! The Gore Gore Girl.

Appearance[]

Sawyer is a young woman with a thin build, short black hair, a light complexion, a large horizontal scar across her throat, and blue eyes. Outside work, she wears eye-shadows, red lipstick, a black choker with a cross pendant, and a gothic style of dress. The most common shirt that she wears is a short-sleeved purple shirt with a cross fleury across the chest. Additionally, she also wears a light-purple striped long-sleeved shirt, a dark plaid skirt with white frills, and knee-length black boots. On her ears, she has several ear piercings, and she has several cuts on her wrists as a result of self-harm.[3][4]

When she is on the job for corpse disposal, she wears a surgical gown, surgical mask, and various personal protective equipment. In the main manga and anime, Sawyer's hairstyle is a short but thick bob cut with wisps. In her spinoff series, Sawyer's hair length is similar but the hair bun on her head is much larger, and her bangs and the hair on top of her head are straight rather than messy. In volume 4 of the spinoff manga, Sawyer wore an elegant key earring on her left ear for five chapters.

Personality[]

Sawyer Breadmattress

Sawyer's mischievous grin

Sawyer is a sociopath who lacks remorse when she kills people with her chainsaw and exhibits various emotional issues. In general, she has a mellow demeanor about her, and she also suffers from depression. She has a vulnerable side, as shown by her blushing and smiling when she becomes the center of attention and in her response to losing her electrolarynx. She has also made morbid jokes, like when she drew jam-smeared bread as a metaphor for a mattress stained with human remains. Although she communicates with her voicebox, Sawyer can also communicate and get others' attention non-verbally via facial expressions, tickling,[5] and tracing letters onto people's skin.[6] She does not take her friendships for granted, as she has a close and personal bond with Shenhua and Lotton as well as a sister-like bond with her other friends Bunny the Undertaker and The Undertaker No. 2. Likewise, it is shown that she has given thoughtful gifts to her friends, such as the cross necklace that Lotton later wore[7] and the teddy bear that she had gifted to Bunny.[8]

Sawyer has a tendency for her mood to swing. A common mood swing for her is gaining an urge to gleefully kill attackers whenever put in a tense situation, and she will become quiet or depressed suddenly depending on the situation. For example, she will be in a happy mood but then suddenly freeze or become depressed and crawl into a ball upon losing her electrolarynx.[9][10] On one occasion, she was enjoying her time with Dutch and showed him a teddy bear, but she then became gloomy and depressed when Dutch had no interest in her toy due to her previous attack on the Lagoon Company dry dock.[11] Besides her emotional issues, Sawyer suffers from seasickness and does not enjoy traveling on watercraft.[12][13]

Background[]

Sawyer is the cleaner whom the various crime syndicates turn to for corpse disposal as well as executing people in the most brutal ways possible, usually to serve as examples for their clientele and enemies. Briefly seen only in the anime, her legitimate business front is, fittingly, a meat packing business called U.G. Pork.[14] As first shown in the second light novel, Sawyer is from the United Kingdom.[15][11] Because her throat had been cut open by an ex-partner in a "mistake in love" according to her memory,[15] she speaks with an electrolarynx, although she later switched to a voicebox necklace.[16] She also exhibits a number of emotional issues, as she will drop into a fetal position if she loses her electrolarynx.

Sawyer works in a tiled room which is covered in blood from her various executions, and she uses a chainsaw as her tool of trade. Her workplace has ceiling-sprinklers which she has used to dispense liquid sodium hydroxide on intruders.[17] Sawyer's company has several other cleaners in her employment. Although she often gets new cleaning assistants due to the wide competition of cleaning businesses in Roanapur, Sawyer eventually takes a long-term assistant and cleaner-in-training, Choptop, under her wing. On top of making money from corpse disposal and mercenary/freelancer work, Sawyer also has a secondary income via harvesting organs from corpses and selling/trafficking the organs.[15][18] She frequently collaborates with her good friend Bunny the Undertaker for ridding of corpses at the Roanapur Public Cemetery. Because of her partnership with Shenhua, Sawyer often takes on jobs from the Hong Kong Triad and even receives their protection.[10][19]

Few people seem to recognize her when she is not wearing her surgeon's robes because when she is on the job, she wears personal protective equipment all over her body. Like her freelancer roommate Shenhua, Sawyer is an assassin who eschews the use of firearms in combat. Instead, she utilizes a thick-bladed chainsaw over half-her-height long. The size and build of the weapon compared to her body allows her to deflect rapid gun-fire with ease, although she can still be pushed back. Furthermore, she will cut through any obstacle in her path while stalking her prey, and the fact that she enjoys her work immensely makes her even more dangerous. Moreover, she does use other secondary tools in the spinoff manga for extra weapons, such as a scalpel, a syringe of muscle relaxant, and surgical scissors that she throws with great accuracy to pierce enemies.

Black Lagoon history[]

Greenback Jane[]

Sawyer, dressed in her normal goth outfit, went to the Yellow Flag to meet up with the other bounty hunters hired by Russell to capture Jane. As Russell was arguing with Shenhua and Quentin the Tiger, Sawyer asked Russell to introduce the newest bounty hunters, confusing Shenhua since she thought Sawyer was a new bounty hunter. Sawyer reminded her that she did a "cleaning" job for her the last week when Shenhua brought a living tied-up man to her to kill for attempting to steal money from Mister Chang. Shenhua and the others then recognized her, remarking that they did not notice her since she always wore her protective gear for cleaning jobs. Blushing from surprise, Sawyer then pointed to Lotton and Claude "Torch" Weaver as the two newcomers. After Lotton and Claude introduced themselves and their weapons, Sawyer and the bounty hunters left the bar to chase down Jane at the Ramsap Inn.[20]

After Eda, Revy and Rock rescued Jane and brought her to the Lagoon Company dry dock, Sawyer went with Shenhua and the others to the dock house, staying outside for a sneak attack. After the first wave of bounty hunters failed to kill Revy and Eda, Sawyer went to another entrance and cut open the adjacent door with her chainsaw, scaring Rock and Jane since they were about to exit that door. Rock blocked her chainsaw using a nearby metal shelf, with Revy diverting her attention to shoot Sawyer, who blocked the bullets using her chainsaw as a shield while backing out the door. As Shenhua began her attack and managed to hold Eda hostage, she told Sawyer to go to the roof to get Jane.[14]

While Revy and Eda stood off with Shenhua, Sawyer went to the roof, where Jane and Rock had no possible escape. Scaring the two, Sawyer talked about how she survived her throat being cut open and smiled, adding that she would take her time in cutting up Jane and Rock. As she continued talking, part of the roof got damaged from the fire below and shifted, making Sawyer drop her electrolarynx off the roof. Anxious that she could not make an audible voice, Sawyer had a breakdown and moved around frantically, tossing her chainsaw off the roof and then curling up into a ball on the roof. Eda and Revy soon got onto the roof, with the former remarking that she had seen people like Sawyer who are sensitive types. The roof then completely collapsed, and Eda, Revy, Rock and Jane escaped onto the Black Lagoon. After Lotton survived a shot from Revy with his bulletproof vest, he volunteered to take Shenhua to a hospital, also recommending that they take Sawyer with them since she survived the roof fall and was still in a mental breakdown.[21]

Fujiyama Gangsta Paradise[]

Only in the anime adaptation of this arc, when Rock woke up and looked out his window, he saw Sawyer in her cleaner outfit outside in the alleyway cutting up a corpse.[22]

El Baile de la muerte / Roberta's Blood Trail[]

When Revy used a payphone to call Shenhua's place, Sawyer was playing a video game with Lotton, now living with him and Shenhua at the latter woman's home. Shenhua got out of the shower and asked the two why they did not pick up the phone since it rang for a while. As Shenhua answered Revy's call and learned about the high pay for guiding Garcia Lovelace and Fabiola Iglesias to Roberta, she asked Sawyer and Lotton if they wanted to come with, and both agreed, so the pay for them was included too.[23] Arriving on the scene of Roberta clashing with the U.S. Army soldiers, Revy, Sawyer, Lotton and Shenhua exited the car with Rock deciding that he would stay behind. Before beginning to plan their attack, Revy saw Sawyer and told her not to break down again like last time, but Sawyer replied with her neck voicebox that her device was no longer handheld, so it would not be a problem. When Revy forgot who Lotton was and thought that he was a male prostitute, Sawyer and Shenhua burst into laughter at the comment. They then went to a corner, where around it were several FARC soldiers whom the women began attacking.[16]

Since Sawyer knew the path, Revy told her that she could lead the way as they killed more FARC guerrillas. After the group slaughtered several of them (including Sawyer cutting a man in half with her chainsaw), Sawyer noted that one guerrilla was still alive. Fabiola translated the man's info from Spanish about Roberta's whereabouts, and Revy killed the man immediately after, shocking Fabiola. Sawyer then saw Fabiola point a gun at Revy and argue with her about killing the guy, but Shenhua interrupted Fabiola to say they needed to stick to the mission and not talk about morality, and Garcia agreed only to stop Shenhua pointing her kukri at Fabiola. Afterward, Sawyer then continued guiding them forward.[24]

When FARC began closing in on Roberta, Lotton asked the group if they should go to a nearby building for a cooler entrance, but Revy told him to stay behind with Sawyer while she and Shenhua would fight the remaining FARC guerrillas. When Fabiola got caught in the guerrillas' line of sight, Lotton jumped in front of her, giving a grandiose entrance speech to the men for holding a young girl at gunpoint. The FARC soldiers were confused but then Sawyer jumped out and cut one of the soldiers with her chainsaw, allowing her to use the man's body as a shield.[7] When Garcia got cut off from the group and was lost, Roberta loudly screamed upon seeing Garcia witness her beat Alberto Camarasa to death, and everyone in the surrounding vicinity, including Sawyer, heard the scream.[25] Going inside the empty building, Sawyer and her group saw Roberta leaving, so they tried to physically stop her so that they could bring her to Garcia. Unfortunately for them, Roberta disarmed Shenhua and then disarmed Sawyer using her guns to break the chainsaw's chain. Thankfully, Lotton jumped in to save them from death and got kicked in the groin by Roberta, collapsing to the ground.[26]

After Sawyer and her group left the building, Shenhua asked Lotton if he was hurt, but Lotton pulled out a groin guard from his pants, stating that his groin was protected by the plate, disgusting Sawyer.[5] Sawyer then stood by as Shenhua and Revy prepared to kill Shane Caxton and his few men in order to take Garcia, but Vysotniki soldiers on the rooftop shot at them, injuring them and warning them not to interfere with Hotel Moscow again or they would be killed next time. Shenhua decided that she and her group would back out due to Hotel Moscow's presence, but Fabiola told her that she promised to pay the three mercenaries since the mission was about guiding her and Garcia to Roberta, which they did succeed in accomplishing. Later, Sawyer, Lotton, and Shenhua accordingly got paid.[27]

The Wired Red Wild Card[]

After Ronnie the Jaws had Cosa Nostra gangsters kill four Australian newcomers in the city on their turf, the four Australians' bodies were left in the motel they were at on Chalquam Street. No one had found out for the bodies for two weeks since the motel landlord did not like making repairs on the rooms, and people initially thought that the smell was feces until someone noticed maggots coming out of the keyhole.[28] Because the bodies were melted from the heat as well as the lingering smell in the room, Sawyer and her cleaning crew were hired to clean the mess, and although they got rid of the bodies, a smell still lingered in the room. Later, Benny rented out the same room once it was open after the first cleaning, and Jane brought Benny, Rock and Feng Yifei to the room to introduce the latter woman to her temporary place. As they talked, Sawyer entered the room, terrifying Jane due to her last encounter with her.

Benny assured her that Sawyer was only there to clean the rest of the room due to the remaining mess. With Feng asking about the smell in the room, Sawyer did not have her voicebox, so she communicated the story of the room mess by tracing letters onto Rock's back. Upon seeing Sawyer's analogy about the melted corpses on the mattress being like melted butter on bread, the others vomited in disgust while Sawyer smiled about the analogy.[6]

Ballad of the Sinful Wizard[]

In the 2nd official light novel Ballad of the Sinful Wizard, Sawyer was at Shenhua's place with Lotton when the latter spilled coffee on Shenhua's pillow. Seeing Lotton's panic, Sawyer told him that Shenhua would greatly scold him if she saw it. Not wanting to face an angry Shenhua, Lotton left the apartment to find a solution or replacement.[29] Soon, Sawyer got a job request from Bao to clean up two corpses from recent murders at the Yellow Flag. Arriving there, she learned that Lotton was present during the chaos and had apparently killed the men, but Sawyer was disappointed to learn that Revy was there. Just before beginning her job, Sawyer learned from Rock that Revy was the one who shot the two men, not Lotton, and the feathers all over the place were from the pillow that Lotton had carried. Moreover, Lotton had left the bar with Tricia O'Sullivan, whom he had thought he saved during the gunfight. Subsequently, Sawyer was curious about Lotton leaving with a woman, but she brushed off her own curiosity and began listening to music while cleaning up the two corpses.[15]

Shenhua Sawyer light novel

Later when Shenhua returned home, Sawyer informed Shenhua about Lotton running away because he heard Sawyer's words about Shenhua's fury. Accompanying Shenhua through town to find him, Sawyer eventually confessed to her the details of the missing pillow, and the two also met Rock and Revy and went together to Sankan Palace Hotel where Lotton had gone. Knowing that Fujianese gangsters of Budaibang were looking for Lotton and Tricia, Sawyer and Shenhua prepared their weapons and the former hid in the room on the sixth floor where Lotton was seen. When a couple of gangsters entered the room, Shenhua killed a few but took cover due to more men arriving. After Revy escaped to a higher floor and the gangsters entered the room, Sawyer burst her chainsaw through the closet from inside and cut down one gangster, Song, in half. Thanks to Sawyer's distraction, Shenhua decapitated one gangster, scaring off the remaining gangsters except their leader Lu Tao, who Shenhua desired to battle without Sawyer's interference.[30]

While Shenhua and Lu Tao fought each other, Sawyer became bored and began to mutilate Song's corpse some more, disheartening Lu Tao. Consequently, Lu Tao almost got killed by Shenhua until Dick Krugland pushed him out of the way, giving the two women the opportunity to flee. In the aftermath, Sawyer and Shenhua fled the building whereas Lotton and Tricia escaped the hotel with Revy and Rock.[31] Sometime later after Lotton made a deal with Rock and tried to run away with Tricia but then fought Shadow Falcon, Sawyer was surprised to see Falcon and Lotton arrive at the residence. When Lotton recalled how he spoke to God on a mobile phone in a church, Sawyer thought that he was joking. As she in boredom watched the two men play a fighting game and continue to tie with each other, Rock came by to drop off the pillow and quietly left, also sharing Sawyer's bafflement at seeing Shadow Falcon. When Lotton and Falcon refused to quit gaming, Sawyer decided to occupy her mind elsewhere by cleaning her chainsaw.[29]

Gore Gore Girl history[]

Sawyer is the titular character of the official spinoff manga Dismemberment Galore! The Gore Gore Girl, which is authored and illustrated by Tatsuhiko Ida with manuscript review by Rei Hiroe. Unlike the main manga series, the stories in the spinoff manga are usually one-chapter stories rather than arcs spanning several chapters, although there are four small arcs in the spinoff manga as of April 2023. Additionally, whereas Sawyer uses her electrolarynx in the main series for communicating with people, in the spinoff she always communicates using non-verbal means and has only used her electrolarynx one time. Below is a history based on the arcs as well as chapters involving recurring characters.

Volume 1[]

In the first volume, Sawyer had several adventures including suffering from an irritable bowel movement, having a dream about a young Thai boy and procuring a female corpse, and an attempted trip to the beach which was interrupted by loose baggage and a car chase. Later, Sawyer carried out a disposal job in which one of the corpses had a gloomy conversation with her, as well as another job at a karaoke business when the manager wanted her to clean up a massacre resulting from several anti-Sawyer gangsters who were killed upon interrupting Revy singing with Rock. The cleaner then got into a fight with a creature claiming to be Spring-heeled Jack, and in the last story she was briefly detained at the Roanapur Police Station and heard a voice talking to her about their smuggling gig. Once being freed thanks to her connections to Mister Chang, Sawyer was frightened to learn that the voice belonged to a cockroach who used a detained man as a drug mule and then possessed one of the cops as she was leaving.

Volume 2[]

Sawyer chapter 10

Sawyer standing outside the Roanapur Public Cemetery

At the front gate of the Roanapur Public Cemetery, Sawyer looked at the place and entered. Her bunny-costumed friend, Bunny the Undertaker, spotted and recognized her and dashed past the numerous gravestones. Accepting Bunny's joyful hug, Sawyer listened to her ask if she was visiting the cemetery to exhume a corpse or fill up a grave, adding that she would gladly help Sawyer do anything. Pulling out her picnic basket, Sawyer pulled out her stitched teddy bear and presented it to Bunny, who noticed that the bear's button was the one that she gave to Sawyer last time and also noticed the cloth of the blouse of a murdered woman. Seeing that Sawyer was allowing her to keep the teddy bear, Bunny thanked her and told her that she greatly adored her. Hearing Bunny ask if the bear had a name, Sawyer shook her head, so Bunny decided to name the bear Belial.

Remembering what she was doing before, Bunny asked her Sawyer she wanted to stop by at her tea party, and the latter smilingly agreed. At a long table with an angel statue at the end, four corpses sat upright dressed in Sunday best clothing. Bringing the teddy bear doll to the table, Bunny commented to Sawyer that she finally had a family of four and that she had been missing a child for a while, pointing to the setup and the child corpse holding the bear. When Sawyer nodded that she liked the setup, Bunny cheered and said that she would prepare the tea. Pouring tea for her and sitting down with Sawyer, Bunny commented on various aspects of the cemetery and tried the sandwich under her bunny mask, finding Sawyer's food delicious. To Sawyer's right, she was surprised to see four men holding a woman at gunpoint with a bag over her head. The four men mocked the two women's tea party, telling them that they were in the way of the former's affairs.

As one of the men stated that their witnessing was not a problem, Sawyer suddenly charged at them with her chainsaw, but the leader with glasses shot her left thigh as a threat, injuring her. The leader mocked Sawyer's choice of weapon as several men restrained Bunny and took off her bunny mask, revealing her face and mocking her. Crying, Bunny repeated to herself that her face had been seen, wrathfully declaring that she could not let it go. As the men were confused by her sudden change in emotion, Bunny swung her shovel at the dark-haired man, beheading him and shocking the other three men. Telling the men that they could not leave alive for seeing her face, Bunny furiously emphasized that she would bury the grave robbers.

As one of the gangsters prepared his pistol, Sawyer chopped off his right forearm with her chainsaw, making him fall on the ground in deep pain. Subsequently, Bunny and Sawyer teamed up, with Sawyer chopping off the bald man's arm before he could shoot while Bunny jumped at the leader with her shovel. Later after killing the men, Sawyer and Bunny sat on the ground, with Bunny crying and apologizing to Sawyer for letting her see her "ugly face." To cheer up Bunny, Sawyer gave her a stitched bunny mask that only covered the eyes and hair. Trying on the mask and liking, Bunny happily complimented the mesh mask's fit, thanking Sawyer for her gift. As Bunny hugged Sawyer, the woman nearby was still tied-up and awkwardly waiting, so Bunny cut two holes in her bag for eye holes, nicknaming the woman The Undertaker No. 2.[8]

In another story around the time of Roberta's first visit to Roanapur, Sawyer was preparing to cut apart a tied-up man when Roberta politely interrupted to inquire about directions to where bad people gathered. Pointing to her own throat scar, Sawyer indicated that she could not speak but pointed in the direction to guide the maid, who thanked Sawyer and politely assured her to continue her work. Once killing the man, Sawyer entered her place of work and saw Doctor Jacob, who finished a cleaning job on his end and commended Sawyer for recapturing escapees scheduled for cleaning. The two cleaners then arrived at the Roanapur Public Cemetery to have dinner with Bunny. While eating the dinner, Sawyer was surprised by Jacob's comment about how the three of them were like a family. As she pondered on the comment, Bunny interrupted her silence by hugging her. After dinner at night, Jacob and Sawyer walked through the cemetery together while the former spoke of Bunny's father.

The next day, Sawyer went to the Yellow Flag per Bao's request due to Roberta's massacre of the Manisarera Cartel mobsters. Leaving the bar after the corpse cleaning, she witnessed Jacob pull up to her and urged her to come with him since Bunny was in danger. Driving to the cemetery, the two ran in. Coming across an angel statue, Sawyer saw the tied-up Bunny next to a thin silhouette. As she angrily prepared her chainsaw, a needle was injected into Sawyer's shoulder from behind, taking her by surprise. When she woke up and was tied-up too, Jacob sat beneath the angel statue next to Bunny, knowing that Sawyer was wondering why he betrayed them. Showing that the silhouette she saw earlier was a tied-up and gagged man, Jacob elaborated his reasons for capturing both Bunny and Sawyer concerning his desire to kill his "family" stemming from his own abandonment as a child by his parents. Once finishing his speech and killing the tied-up man with a scalpel, he prepared the tool to kill Sawyer and sarcastically thanked her. To his shock, as he raised his arm, he was impaled from behind with a narrow fence spike by Bunny. Slowly turning his head, Jacob saw that Bunny stabbed him and he smiled, falling to the ground onto his knees.

As Bunny untied and checked on Sawyer, the latter prepared her chainsaw but heard Jacob state that being killed by family was not a bad way to go, briefly setting Sawyer aback. Coughing up more blood, Jacob told her that he hoped that she could have a family again, and the goth girl thought about his words as she finished him off with her chainsaw. Afterward, the two women walked together, and Bunny asked Sawyer if she was all right and assured that her own wound was not bad enough to need medical treatment. Trying to cheer her up, Bunny remarked that it was not the first time that she killed her father, and in their path stood Roberta, who recognized Sawyer from earlier. Seeing Bunny, the beaten-up Roberta smiled and complimented her bunny mask in awe and noticed her hand wounds. The maid politely offered to bandage up Bunny's wound and did so, lightly patting the latter's hand and advising her that she see a doctor as soon as possible, receiving Bunny's thanks.

As Roberta kindly replied that she enjoyed meeting them, Garcia called for her, prompting Roberta to yell back that she would be there right away. Bidding the women goodbye, Roberta advised them that sisters and family should stick together, and she left. Over a year later when Roberta returned to Roanapur, Sawyer remembered Roberta's words about family when Shenhua asked her and Lotton if they wanted to help her search for the maid. Enjoying her two friends' company, Sawyer warmly raised her hand in agreement.[32]

Volume 3[]

For one job, Sawyer was hired by the building manager of an abandoned resort for a cleaning job, so she and several cleaners went inside the building and discovered a stabbed corpse. The checkered bandana man and the others were hesitant to go through with the small job since the ruins gave them an eerie feeling. One man anxiously remarked that their client likely brought them to the building to hunt them for sport, urging Sawyer to let them leave while holding his pistol. As they walked in the hallway, the half-mask respirator assistant informed them about the building's notoriety as a famous haunted spot, adding that a large number of corpses who were missing guests were found in the basement. Adding that the suspect, a janitor, had not been caught yet, he stated that there were many hidden rooms throughout.

As the workers were on edge, the bandana man furiously pulled out his pistol in response to the story and proclaimed to the supposed murderer that he would kill them first. Smiling maniacally, Sawyer pulled out her chainsaw in agreement, and they agreed to head to the exit. Heading to the stairs for an exit, they saw the fire door shut down with "DED END" painted on it, shocking everyone since it was not closed when they arrived. Sawyer tried to cut the door open with her chainsaw to no avail, but behind them the cleaners heard another chainsaw deep in the hallway. Standing in the dark, a tall, muscular figure in a dress and with long hair stood alone with a chainsaw. Suddenly, the figure charged at the confused cleaners, so the men prepared their pistols but were interrupted by part of the wall opening violently, blocking their view. As the mustached man peered behind the wall-door, the large figure giddily swiped their chainsaw downward, cutting the mustached man in half.

Quickly acting, Sawyer swung her chainsaw at them, but the figure blocked her with their even bigger chainsaw and pushed her onto the ground. Terrified, the bandana man and the half-masked man dragged Sawyer to safety as the figure charged their chainsaw. Although the cleaners managed to shut the door just in time while Sawyer woke up in surprise, the bandana man was surprised to see a wall collage of dozens of photos of Sawyer. As he gazed in surprise, the half-masked man stabbed him in the back with a knife, but Sawyer only stayed silent at witnessing the attack. Opening the door, he let in the large man, thanking the "big brother" for his help. She remained silent and on the ground as the glasses-clad man creepily commented that he and Sawyer could be a good couple in his family with his mother's approval.[33]

Waking up later, Sawyer sat upward and heard the man greeting her on a loudspeaker. Asking her if she liked his invitation, the older brother told her that he had been thinking about how to invite her. In addition, he said that he wanted to take her hand in marriage, but he reiterated that he had to get his mother's permission to welcome Sawyer into his family. Unfazed, Sawyer listened to him claim that she was on the top floor of the abandoned hotel, elaborating that she would have to leave the room to find him and meet his mother in a hidden basement in the hotel and arrive there alive in order to be welcomed into the family. Stating that directions would be provided, he called for Jessica to go greet Sawyer. Entering the room, Jessica introduced herself. Once Jessica and the older brother exchanged harsh words, the older brother eerily bid goodbye and told Sawyer that he loved her, wishing her good luck. Advising Sawyer to follow her, Jessica cheerfully stated that they would find her mother and older brother.

Entering a hallway, Jessica warned Sawyer that a trap was set for them, and she spoke about how her family had killed and killed in rural America for generations but fled to Roanapur due to their murders finally making the news and corpses being discovered on their property. Following her, Sawyer was slightly confused that Jessica claimed that her mother was the real Baba Yaga from Slavic folklore which fit the strange-looking hut on her family's property. Walking to a corner, Sawyer quickly grabbed Jessica's collar and dragged her back as the latter's face barely dodged the blade of a knife. Peering from the corner, a shaggy dark-haired man appeared and laughs, and the calm but confused Jessica wondered who he was. As the man maniacally laughed and she continued dragging the irked Jessica, Sawyer again pulled her away from being stabbed, gaining Jessica's thanks.

Seeing that Jessica was not fazed by the fanatical murderer, Sawyer sweated and frantically rummaged through her apron for any tools. As the man swung his knife, Sawyer pulled out her surgical scissors and violently cut the man's left jugular, felling him. Witnessing the act in awe, Jessica happily applauded Sawyer, but her joy quickly ceased when they saw several people emerge from the various doors in the hallway. Hearing a chainsaw, Sawyer turned around and saw a large, bearded plaid-shirt man wielding a chainsaw. Although Jessica advised her to run away, Sawyer's blank face turned into a wide, devilish grin.[34]

Sawyer chapter 20

Using her scissors, Sawyer managed to stab the man and steal his chainsaw for herself. In the hallway, various figures dressed in various Halloween-like masks and gear charged at Sawyer, who gleefully killed the first set of attackers. Casually moving, she even managed to thrust her chainsaw into a man behind her without looking. As more clown, skeleton, and other spooky-dressed men appeared, the fearless and smiling Sawyer pushed her chainsaw through the men and kicked their bodies to the ground. Finishing her slaughter as Jessica stood by, Sawyer turned back her head to reveal her grin, with Jessica clapping her hands together in approval. Soon, both women barged into the older brother's surveillance room with several other of the masked murderers. Clashing with the muscular brother, Sawyer pushed her own chainsaw against his bigger chainsaw and succeeded in thrusting it into his throat, splattering blood everywhere and killing him. Afterward, Sawyer then killed the older brother whom Jessica had already injured. Exiting the abandoned hotel, the blood-drenched Sawyer silently walked away with her chainsaw hoisted over her shoulder, not knowing that Jessica began to take an interest in her.[35]

Volume 4[]

At the Roanapur Public Cemetery, Sawyer attended one of Bunny's tea parties. When Bunny thanked her, she warmly smiled and gave a thumbs up to signal her enjoyment. As Bunny explained the circumstances of acquiring the tea and treats that she had, she reflexively swung her shovel behind her upon hearing Jessica claim that she brought sweets with her. Suddenly, the amazed Jessica hugged Bunny, taking her off guard. Backing away, Bunny asked Sawyer if she knew the woman, but she tilted her head to indicate mixed emotions. Jessica urged them to let them join the tea party, but Bunny rejected her request since the party was just supposed to be them. When Jessica feigned innocence and pulled out a box of several sweet treats, the hesitant Bunny agreed to let her dine with them. Accordingly, the three women began to sit down and eat and drink, with Sawyer not noticing Jessica injecting a syringe of poison into The Undertaker No. 2's arm. As No.2 began to panic, Sawyer joyfully ate the sweets while Bunny talked with Jessica about advice for dealing with a strange smell from one of the cemetery's buried bodies.

Sawyer continued to eat as Jessica asked Sawyer and Bunny if they wanted to come to her abandoned hotel. The former only remained silent whereas Bunny replied that she could not leave the graveyard. Curious, Jessica asked to at least see Bunny's face before leaving, but Bunny turned her head away and responded that she would have to kill anyone around her who saw her face. Piqued even more, Jessica got up and casually removed Bunny's mask, prompting the latter to grab her shovel. Sawyer then stood in front of Bunny with her arms extended out as a barrier to block the serial killer. Jessica asked Sawyer if she was mocking her, but Bunny only coldly replied that Jessica had not seen her face yet and would let her live if she returned her mask immediately. Trying to provoke Bunny, Jessica chimed that they should play a game, gaining a glare from Sawyer. Smiling, she pulled out three syringes and said that one was an antidote while the other two were instant-killing poisons. If they chose the one that made No. 2 survive, Jessica would return her bunny mask.

Sweating anxiously, No. 2 reasoned to herself that she should choose the syringe herself so that everyone would be on good terms. Noticing her despair, Sawyer grabbed one of the syringes before No.2 could choose, sticking the needle into her arm. Immediately, No. 2 screamed in agony. Because the woman lived due to Sawyer's correct choice, Jessica returned the mask to Bunny and happily bid goodbye to the three women, recommending that they should drink tea again sometime. Standing with an awkward expression, Sawyer remained silent and Bunny congratulated No. 2, who knelt in pain from her temporary sickness.[36]

Sawyer chapter 24

While cutting apart a corpse in her workshop, Sawyer discovered an elegantly-designed key inside the body. Admiring it, she fashioned it into an earring and showed it off to Shenhua and Lotton at the Yellow Flag. While they were drinking, three Roanapur police officers walked in and complained about not being able to find an important key belonging to Hotel Moscow. Overhearing the conversation, Shenhua warned Sawyer to leave immediately and hide the key. Although Shenhua offered her to stay at her own place, Sawyer politely rejected the offer and stayed at her workshop. Entering the building, Sawyer was then greeted by several men with guns who smiled upon seeing that she had the key. Still calm, Sawyer pressed a button next to the door frame, dispensing sodium hydroxide from the ceiling sprinklers onto the men. Running into the hallway, Sawyer grabbed a hidden chainsaw from the wall and cut apart another man who pleaded with her to listen to him.

Running through town, Sawyer used her chainsaw, scissors and scalpel to fight several men who claimed that they wanted to help Sawyer take the cursed key off her hands. While she murdered some more men, the three cops who were looking for the key identified her and saw the key earring on her neck. Although the men giddily planned to kill her, Sawyer managed to flee, and some day later Balalaika visited Sawyer. Smoking a cigar, she apologized to her for the three cops who gave her trouble, elaborating that she had the three disappeared due to their incompetence. As Sawyer stood silently and felt baffled, Balalaika clarified that she did not care who owned the key but preferred it in police custody. Speaking about the history of the key, she informed the confused Sawyer that Hotel Moscow took the matter into their own hands on the condition that the police would guard the key, saying that the key was a relic of a man who held a certain interest in Roanapur.

According to her, there was a rumor that whoever owned the key could take over the city, but she confidently commented that Hotel Moscow already had the right to the city. Summarizing that the men who wanted the key probably did not know about such history anymore, Balalaika calmly concluded that the key had no more significance to her. In response, Sawyer tried to remove her key earring but Balalaika waved her hand, assuring Sawyer that she could keep it if she truly liked it. Walking closer to Sawyer, Balalaika stated that there was another reason she wanted the police to hold the key, chillingly whispering to Sawyer that anyone who held the key would die, making the goth girl shudder. Turning back to her car, Balalaika told Sawyer that she was the first person to hold the key and survive, waving goodbye and adding that it was probably best that she held the key. Looking at the key, Sawyer held up to her face and flashed a giddy smile.[17].

Sawyer chapter 26

Sawyer with her assistant Choptop

Sometime later while continuing to wear the key earring, Sawyer got a new cleaning assistant, Choptop, who was excited to work under her due to her legendary reputation. At a farmhouse where a gang and a murderer had supposedly killed each other, Sawyer gestured with a mop that Choptop had to clean up the blood stains, but he tried to talk her out of it by claiming that he only dealt with corpses. Unamused, Sawyer still shoved the mop to him, but he ignored the request and recommended that they check the place out. As they walked further inside, Sawyer noticed a room to her side while Choptop noted that all the corpses had injuries in their genital area. When Choptop unsuccessfully tried to open the room's locked door by kicking it, she rolled her eyes and cut the lock open with bolt cutters. Inside, they both saw a shaggy-haired, tattered, skinny man with tied-up arms hanging upward against the wall. Amazed, Choptop asked the man if he was a murderer or a gang member.

When Sawyer turned on her chainsaw, Choptop asked her if she was going to "clean him up," but the man softly informed them to be careful since someone was still there, confusing Choptop. From the floorboards beneath them, two hedge clipper blades jammed through and barely missed chopping Choptop's crotch, terrifying the punk even more when the blades suddenly re-emerged multiple times in an attempt to sever his genitals. As Choptop realized that the ground stabbing was the reason all the corpses had crotch injures, the tied-up man asked him to break his chains since he knew how to deal with the murderer. The punk agreed and confirmed that he was a cleaner when the man asked him if he was one. Smiling slyly, the man remarked that Choptop was quite young and said he had actually lured the enemy into his trap, menacingly adding that the "job" for them was actually to clean up the survivors and not the corpses.

Laughing, Choptop asked him what he was talking about, and the man coldly stated that he would kill the "woman" (Sawyer). Giving an evil eye, Sawyer prepared her chainsaw while the man grabbed an axe and told Choptop to help him kill her since she was his enemy, confusing him. Knocking his boot onto the floorboards, the man signaled to "Alice" beneath to kill Sawyer on her end, confessing to Choptop that Alice was his daughter. Grasping his axe handle with both hands, the man clarified that Sawyer killed his wife and two sons, making him harbor a grudge against her and her cleaners. Telling Choptop that he was not sure if Sawyer was part of a gang, he yelled to Sawyer that she would not be leaving alive. In response, Sawyer glared and again powered up her chainsaw whereas Choptop panicked and ran toward her, shocking the old man. To Sawyer's surprise, Choptop purposefully tackled her, making her boot knock on a floorboard.

As the annoyed Sawyer wrestled with Choptop, Alice mistook Sawyer's foot for her father's. The hidden girl opened the floorboard as her father swung his axe at Sawyer, but his axe's downward swing missed Sawyer and hit Alice instead, terrifying him. In the commotion, Choptop still wrestled with Sawyer to dissuade her fighting, but her chainsaw swing during their spinning hit the man, splashing blood everywhere. After the gory mess, Choptop began to mop the farmhouse floor and he commented how scary the ordeal was, joking to Sawyer that he thought she was really going to kill him. When he stated proudly that he was now Sawyer's student, Sawyer looked at him with a baffled expression as he joyfully proclaimed that she could count on him.[37]

On a salvage job for a mysterious client, Sawyer on a later day begrudgingly agreed to board a boat with Choptop, who had gotten the job to raise a coffin from the ocean. On deck, Sawyer continuously felt seasick, sitting on the floor and grasping her knees to cope with her motion sickness. Seeing her pain after the coffin was successfully salvaged, Choptop assured her that they would be back on land soon, reminding her that they would both be paid well. As she looked at him with a pained face, Sawyer continued to lie down as the boat was suddenly targeted by pirates. Following the captain's orders to tie themselves to the boat for a rough ride, Sawyer hung onto a mast and bit her lower lip in pain. Although the captain and his crew managed to kill several of the pirates, the enemies in turn attacked the boat with a rocket launcher, making several of the divers fly off the boat into the ocean, where several great white sharks devoured both the sailors and pirates alike. During the chaos, Sawyer dizzily swung back and forth. Impatient with the debacle, Sawyer got up and armed herself with her chainsaw.

Preparing to confront the sharks, Sawyer drooled but gleefully flashed a murderous smile. As a shark jumped out of the water toward her, Sawyer charged at the creature, who merely swung his tail fin at her, knocking her unconscious and sending her chainsaw into the ocean. Much later that day, Sawyer woke up lying on her side at the port with the coffin resting on top of her. Relaying to her what happened, Choptop recalled that they managed to get to land after fending off the remaining pirates. Curious about the contents of the coffin, the punk opened it up to find a male skeleton dressed in a suit with its hands clasping a small box.[12] Sometime later, Sawyer attended one of Bunny and No. 2's tea parties with Choptop later joining them. Placing the locked box on the salvaged coffin used as a table, Choptop reminded them that their client wanted them to bury the coffin in the cemetery, angrily wondering where the key could be.

Remembering that she was wearing the key earring, Sawyer used it to open the box, surprising them. Slowly lifting the lid, Sawyer only saw a ring case and a folded piece of cloth stuck next to it. As Choptop and Bunny examined the cloth and its cipher, two groups of armed men showed up threatening to kill the four if they did not hand it over. When both groups of opposing gunmen shot at each other, Sawyer and the three immediately ducked to avoid the gunfire. Choptop grabbed the box and advised Sawyer to run away, but a dark-haired gunman pointed his weapon at the punk, telling him that he would not escape. To her student's fortune, Sawyer came to his aid and thrust her chainsaw into the man's chest while Bunny decapitated him with her shovel, killing him. Watching the two women fight, Choptop and No. 2 enthusiastically cheered them on.

Although the two women managed to kill most of one group, one man suddenly put his gun to the back of Sawyer's head, sarcastically bidding her goodbye. Out of nowhere, the man quickly had his head decapitated by a wire before he could even think. Revealing herself, Jessica chimed in to everyone that she wanted a cup of tea, commenting that she wanted to join the big party. Flashing a vicious smile, Jessica remarked that the real hell would begin, shocking Choptop but not fazing Sawyer and Bunny. Preparing to slaughter more, Sawyer held up her chainsaw while Jessica pulled out a knife. Choptop commented that they should run away since they had already killed enough men from one group, but the two women cut up a nearby gunman. Immediately after, Jessica curiously asked Sawyer if she knew the men, but Sawyer only tilted her head in uncertainty. Having recognized the cipher before the men arrived, Bunny told Sawyer that the symbols matched a lot and number in the cemetery. Elaborating, she stated that the lot was where a splendid tomb had resided for a long time but with no one inside. Surprised, Choptop asked about the coffin that he salvaged, and Bunny clarified that the skeleton inside was supposed to be buried in the splendid tomb.

Feeling two guns pressed to his head as the gunfight continued, Choptop sweated and turned his head to see the two elderly women who spoke to him earlier that day. To everyone's surprise, Balalaika showed up with other Hotel Moscow members and demanded that the two elders stop fighting. With the young surviving gunmen having already left after being called off by the two women, Sawyer stood by with Bunny and Jessica as Balalaika revealed that there was no ring inside the case, shocking everyone. The Russian leader specified that there was no ring from the beginning since the dead man could not choose between the two women and sent himself to the ocean bottom. After laughing with the two women and offering to take them out for drinks, Balalaika yelled to Sawyer's group that she would financially compensate them for the bloody mess across the graveyard. Breaking the awkward silence, Choptop asked Sawyer and co. if he would still get paid.[38]

Volume 5[]

Sawyer chapter 31

In the beginning chapters, Sawyer had carried out several cleaning requests, including one job with Lotton where he wanted to fight a gangster, Angel, but the latter fell off the roof. Arriving at the building with her cleaning equipment, Sawyer witnessed Angel fall off the roof, resulting in blood splattering all over the annoyed cleaner. Frustrated with the new mess, she had Lotton help mop up the blood and clean up the body parts.[39] In another story, Sawyer had finished a cleaning job at her workshop. Planning to get home as soon as possible due to being covered in blood and sweat because the air conditioning was broken, Sawyer was annoyed by several men bringing a corpse to her workshop's doorstep. Despite the men's pleas, Sawyer tried to close the door when a bomb suddenly detonated underneath the men's van, killing most of them and causing a deluge of blood to rain onto Sawyer. One of the men got up and asked Sawyer if she was safe, but his head was immediately blown off by a shotgun blast. Acting fast, Sawyer descended into a nearby manhole into the city's sewers.

Running further into the sewer, all she could think about was taking a shower as the two assailants chased her since they falsely believed that she had murdered one of their friends. At an intersection, Sawyer hid in the dark as the two men examined the area. Sneaking up to the man with the shotgun, Sawyer charged at him and dodged his gunshot. As she swung her chainsaw upward, the man knocked her down with his shotgun's stock. Seeing the man laugh at her failed attack, Sawyer used the opportunity to cut off his leg, injuring him greatly. In response, the other man aimed his pistol at Sawyer, who again dodged the gunshot, which hit the other man in the head. As the man was shocked at his own mistake, the furious Sawyer charged at him and thrust her chainsaw into his chest, killing him. After the ordeal, Sawyer climbed out of the sewer onto the street, where she began to walk home when a car passed by and splashed more mud onto her. Arriving at her apartment, Sawyer entered the shower while leaving behind a trail of blood, mud and other filth onto the carpets. As the off-duty cleaner blissfully took a shower and happily washed her hair, Shenhua arrived home and was enraged upon seeing Sawyer's trail of filth on the carpets.[40]

In the next arc, Sawyer was out in town when she heard a man scream. Turning around, she saw a young girl, Jacqueline, running away from a male pedophile and she ran into Sawyer. Facing the bleeding man, Jacqueline used her katana to stab him repeatedly, shocking a couple of bystanders while Sawyer only watched with a mellow expression. In a short period, the girl ran away from the scene after killing the cameraman, and in an alleyway she found Sawyer standing in her path. As their eyes locked, Jacqueline cried out for her sister and ran into Sawyer, hugging her. Although empathizing with her, Sawyer was hesitant as to what to do next. Deciding to help her, she and Jacqueline cut down several of the pursuing gangsters working for the human trafficker Picton. At the same time, Choptop, who was hired by Picton for a corpse disposal job, noticed Sawyer helping Jacqueline, shocking him. Exiting his van, Picton aimed his pistol at Jacqueline and ordered her to come with him, but the girl cut off his hand in the blink of the eye. Seeing Jacqueline stand over Picton as he writhed in pain, Sawyer used the distraction to grab Jacqueline away from the area to safety. Bringing the girl to the Roanapur Public Cemetery and holding her hand, Sawyer saw Bunny having a tea party with Jessica, and Jacqueline ran up to Jessica, her sister.[41]

Sitting down, Sawyer drank some tea while No. 2 helped console Jacqueline and offered her a drink as well. The cleaner then listened to Jessica claim that her younger sister was an extraordinary member of her family of serial killers, though No. 2 expressed ambivalence at Jacqueline's belonging. Later that night, Jacqueline fell asleep at the table while Jessica wondered if she and her sister could stay at the cemetery for the night. At that point, a black car suddenly barged through the cemetery, shocking the women. Sawyer prepared her chainsaw as a Christian coffin was pushed out of the car, and a cloaked figure emerged. Noticing his glasses, shaggy hair and skinny build, Sawyer thought for a second that he was Lotton but knew that he was somebody else. The man introduced himself as "Nosferatu" Martin, but the women were not amused, especially Bunny since he had damaged the gravestones. Martin then shot at the women with his machine pistol, so Sawyer blocked some of the bullets with her chainsaw and quickly took cover behind a nearby gravestone.

Because she failed to injure Martin due to his bulletproof vest, Jessica yelled to Sawyer to run away, but she was already running toward Martin with her chainsaw. Jessica then used suppressive fire to cover Sawyer, who fearlessly charged ahead and swung her chainsaw downward. Martin dodged the attack and deployed knockout gas as he backed away, making Sawyer and Bunny fall unconscious and allowing Martin to abduct Jacqueline alive to bring her to Picton.[42] The next day after waking up, the cleaner sought out Choptop's help, and he agreed. Driving to the filming studio, Choptop remarked to Sawyer that he could not help her since Martin was after her, implying that he could not fight the man. On the way, he also informed Sawyer that Martin believed himself to be a vampire due to a congenital disorder. According to him, Martin only acted at night and supposedly regularly drank actual human blood. Moving his eyes to her, Choptop asked Sawyer if she was going to help Jacqueline after all, and Sawyer rubbed her chin and pondered. Eventually, the two cleaners arrived at the studio and inside, they saw the gory aftermath of a large pool of blood and Picton's hook hand. Choptop and his teacher then stood by as Jacqueline reunited with her sister Jessica to the latter sister's relief.[43]

Volume 6[]

Receiving a job to clean up some bloody aftermath on an island, Choptop brought along several cleaners with him, including Sawyer. Saying that the payment for the cleaning job was huge, Choptop assured them that it was not dangerous. Arriving at the island's dock and anchoring the boat, Choptop told the disembarking assistants that the rich owner gathered people on the island to make them kill each other, and the cleaners needed to clean up the mess before the next game. Having held in her mouth for the ride, Sawyer disembarked and immediately vomited on the ground, making Choptop tell her that the ship sailed pretty weakly. At that moment, the ship was blown apart by an RPG and everyone near was tossed back by the blast. Although she was all right, Sawyer vomited again due to her seasickness. The assistants stood up and wondered what just happened, and they spotted on the small mountain an RPG wielder with a three-holed mask.

They all angrily questioned who was on the island since they thought only dead people were on it, and over a loudspeaker they heard a recorded voice repeatedly telling them that they would kill each other. As Choptop wondered aloud if the voice was the guy left behind by management, several other men with the same mask surrounded them and pointed their pistols at Sawyer and the cleaners. The RPG wielder also greeted them with a pistol, stating that he knew the cleaners did not carry weapons. Forcing the cleaners to walk, the men brought them to a corral enclosed by the rocky hills with a small house and smaller corral enclosed within the main corral. The men elaborated that it was their base with the only building provided by management. In surprise, Choptop asked them if they were genuinely abandoning and killing each other on the island, and the man behind him laughed, clarifying that he and the others wanted to kill more to continue the game.

The men elaborated that they stayed and killed the next newcomers until the people in charge noticed it and sent hunters to eliminate them, but the hunters either got killed or teamed up with them, saying that they got their firearms from them. The captors then claimed that the management sent cleaners next and added that there was a rule that only 5 people could live on the island at a time. Finally, the men stated that they would give the cleaners a chance to fight, confusing them. Specifying that it was a one-on-one battle, one man asked if they wanted to try. From the small building stepped out a tall, broad, masked man with a chainsaw behind his shoulders, and the men told Sawyer and Choptop that he was Number 1 on the island, claiming that whoever beat him got to make everyone else their servant. Stepping forward, Sawyer glared at Number 1 and silently accepted the challenge to Choptop's hesitation. The long-haired gunman was skeptical of Sawyer since she was a woman, but his accomplices cheered and stated that the woman was showing heart. Having to agree to the other men's encouragement, the long-haired man showed her a selection of various, sharp, melee weapons, so she proudly grabbed a chainsaw.

Commencing the fight, Number 1 swung his chainsaw forward, which Sawyer dodged, and he made a sideways swing that she ducked to evade. Suddenly, Number 1 lifted his chainsaw and swung downward onto her, using his own weight to his advantage. Although she managed to block it, Sawyer was brought down on one knee in order to counter his body's strength combined with gravity. As the man lifted his chainsaw again and swung in a downward diagonal direction, Sawyer used her position to clash with his chainsaw only slightly and bounced it off. From that move, she stuck her chainsaw into the right side of his abdomen, spewing blood everywhere and felling him. Impressed, the island men proudly claimed Sawyer as their new queen, but she turned around and glared at them while still armed with the chainsaw, making them blankly freeze from the obvious revenge after being held at gunpoint.

Consequently, Sawyer slashed apart the gladiators while Choptop had the outed informant call for a boat to pick them up. Later, Black Lagoon arrived at the island with Rock and Revy on deck. Extending her hand out to Sawyer, Revy took the cleaner's hand and smilingly told her that she had come to pick her up. Sailing out, she yelled loudly that Sawyer was quite dirty and needed to clean herself up.[13]
