Shiori Tsuzuki

"If you don't start taking this seriously, then I won't enjoy killing you."

- Shiori

Shiori Tsuzuki is a minor antagonist in the anime adaptation of Witchblade.

History
Shiori was a part of Tatsuoki Furumizu's neogene program, i.e. she was bioengineered to be used as a cloneblade wielder. Once fitted with the cloneblade, she and Taatsuoki's daughter Reina (also fitted with a cloneblade) developed the ability of flight, superhuman strength and resilience to damage, and gained the ability to sprout a giant scythe from her arm.

She first appears killing several ex-cons under Tatsuoki's instruction alongside Reina, where she is spotted by Masane Amaha, the wielder of the Witchblade.

Because Tatsuoki wanted her to retrieve the witchblade at all cost, she took it upon herself to try to kill Masane and remove the blade from her, and she took a disturbing amount of pleasure in doing so. In the battle, her scythe cut into Masane's chest, but failed to kil her. Before she could land a killing blow, Masane was taken away by an armoured ambulance, which Shiori pursued aggressively, and attempted to kill everyone on board by crashing onto it from a great height.

Realising that she had failed to kill Masane, Shiori tried to attack the boat that Masane was being loaded onto, only to be stopped by Reina, who saw that Shiori was losing a grip on her sanity and risking countless motorists' lives.
