In Deadman Wonderland, is the Red Man is supposed to be Ganta's childhood hero, Ace Man?


I watched Deadman Wonderland about two months ago, when I started I watched
the first episode on Adult Swim. I saw the Red Man kill Ganta's classmates and
other episode Shiro was passed out in dark basement with this older gentle
man.

As soon Shiro wake up it wasn’t her, she was a different person and she grabs
this outfit that look like the Red Man’s clothes. Later on of the season it
was Ganta’s flashback he had a figure look like Red Man also.

Who is the red man? Aceman ? Shiro?

On the contrary to what Zeor mentioned, I believe that the Ace Man action
figure did have some influence on the Wretched Egg and Shiro.

In this sense, we can see that it's not simply coincidence that the Wretched
Egg looked like Ace Man. The outfit most likely derives from Shiro's
personality and her attachment to impersonating Ace Man for Ganta.

**Conclusion**

Ace Man is the action TV hero Ganta looked up to. Shiro is the Red Man, AKA
Wretched Egg, or more precisely, the Wretched Egg is a split personality of
Shiro's. The outfit of the Wretched Egg is derived from Shiro's personality
where Shiro impersonates Ace Man to act as Ganta's hero.

So yes, Ace Man did have direct correlation to Shiro and the Wretched Egg.
