A big storm hit my area hard and I've been without cable for two weeks. Can some get me up to speed with whats going on in Dead Man Wonderland?
So you're good up to episode 5 or so? Today's episode is number 8.
Here's the previous 3 episodes... I'm stealing some of this from
Wikipedia, but I'll try to be more clear and concise than that summary is. Links are just pics for aid.
EDIT: Episode 6 and 7 have some pretty neat stuff, as well as a handful of spoilers. Since you asked, I wrote up a summary with links below, but as cosmic says, you really should watch episode 6 without being SPOILED.
SPOILERS
Episode 5: "Carnival Corpse" (You may have seen this one but can be a refresher)
Ganta is forced to fight
Crow (the big guy scared of women).
He didn't seem to stand a chance, but
Ganta wins the match because of the the usual shonen 'never give up!' bs. After Ganta recovers from his victory, he is horrified to find that
Crow is forced to have one of his eyes removed as a result of losing as part of a penalty round.
Meanwhile,
Yō and Shiro head towards G-Block after Yō hears the whereabouts of a woman he is searching for. Yō really just wanted to Shiro as a diversion so he can get into G-Block on his own, but t
hen bears witness to her true destructive ability, as she herself has the DeadMan blood powers too. However, Shiro falls unconscious after this fight.
Episode 6: "Hummingbird"
Shiro is taken away unconscious. Ganta meets a girl named
Minatsuki, another Deadman who had killed her abusive father.
Ganta and Minatsuki try to escape, but fail, and Ganta is shocked to learned she is his opponent in the next Corpse Carnival fight.
When the match begins, Minatsuki's personality changes completely she had manipulated him with her innocent girl act. Her attacks are basically Blood whips.
Yō then appears during the fight, revealing Minatsuki to be his younger sister and who he's been looking for. Basically, the whole reason Yo is in Deadman Wonderland is the first place is an effort to try to get Minatsuki out by accumulating cast points to buy her sentence. She tries to manipulate Yō against Ganta, but he turns on her instead.
Minatsuki captures Yō and uses him as a human shield against Ganta, , Ganta manages to disable one of her whips and free Yō,
before knocking her out with a headbutt, winning the match.
Episode 7: "Wretched Egg"
Minasuki, Yo, and Ganta after the fight. As Ganta recalls his childhood with Shiro, Yo can't bring himself to mention what he had seen her do [in Episode 5]. As Yo goes to recover the casts that were stolen from him, he learns from
Tamaki that cast points can't be used to reduce the sentences on G-Block inmates (basically making everything he's been doing meaningless).
Yo is attacked by
Genkaku, part of an Anti-Deadman force known as the Undertakers. Meanwhile, Ganta meets
Nagi "Owl" Kengamine and
Karako Koshio, members of a Deadman group known as Scar Chain wanting to destroy Deadman Wonderland, who invite him to join their gang. As Minatsuki goes through her penalty game, Nagi (somehow)
arranges it so that she only loses her hair. Just then,
Genkaku appears and attacks Ganta and the others. Also in this Episode,
Shiro is revealed to be the "Red Man", seemingly has a split personality, as she is heard referring to "Shiro" as though she is a different person.
