Scarlet Claw is one of the Four Gods of the Panther Claw organization who represents the Heart suit and serves as an antagonist in Re: Cutie Honey. Unlike her other colleagues, she was given a different appearance and a different personality, compared to her movie counterpart.
Appearance[]
Unlike her movie version, who was an adult, this version of Scarlet Claw is a little girl with a plain red parasol. While she does retain most of her costume's design from her live action film incarnation, Scarlet Claw doesn't wear any jewelry, hair extensions, or white Kabuki face make-up.
Personality[]
Scarlet Claw exhibits childish behavior and a tendency to act spoiled and bratty. She also enjoys causing suffering to Honey, is capable of manipulating others to achieve her goals, and seems to have a general dislike for women. Despite her childish antics and apparent youth, Scarlet Claw can be serious and effective in combat, and she demonstrates a level of maturity that goes beyond her age.
Powers and Abilities[]
Scarlet Claw's main weapon is her parasol, which she can use as a sword, a shield, and a rotating sawblade. She can also use it to fly, and she can activate a hidden function in it that transforms it into a satellite dish-like weapon. Like her film counterpart, Scarlet Claw is armed with the Scarlet Beam, an energy cannon that fires red energy blasts from her mouth.
History[]
Scarlet Claw was first seen among her colleagues when they were summoned by Sister Jill. She then teamed up with Cobalt Claw and turned the general populace against Cutie Honey in order to have them track her down. When Cutie Honey revealed herself while she killed Scarlet Claw's subordinates: Tank, Bazooka, and Sky Panther; Scarlet Claw stabbed Cobalt Claw in the back by turning her into nanomachines that negatively affected Honey. After setting out her fighters, Cutie Honey defeated them but her I-System was breaking down due to Cobalt's nanomachines. Scarlet Claw seemed confident that her plan worked out as expected, but after Honey came back with renewed faith, she destroyed Scarlet Claw with her Lightning Lancer.
