The host, however, is forced to watch as the robot commits atrocities that their minds would otherwise not allow. Once trapped within the robot, its tendrils enter the host's mouth and anus, turning them into a host for the Death Stench.
The victims also emit a foul smelling gas that actually acts as a lure toward the Death Stench robots.
Over time, the victim's body swells to enormous proportions, increasing the victim's weight and body mass. The infection at first starts as small dots on the infected person's skin, which some commonly mistake for acne or warts. The robots transmit the infectious gases by stabbing their victims in part of the body with the metal stilt legs or the cage like structure (although sometimes the robots will murder a potential host with the former choice). They possess the common mannerisms of the generic zombie in horror fiction, such as strength in numbers and spreading the infection to other uninfected life forms. The Death Stench sucked through Koyanagi's hand Physical Appearance ĭeath stenches look like a four legged spider with four tendrils and a ribcage like clasp used to capture an infected victim. By the end of both the OVA and the manga, the Death Stench epidemic has spread throughout the rest of the world, killing almost all of the Earth's inhabitants except for the lead protagonist (Tadashi in the manga and Kaori in the OVA who survived due to being immune to the Death Stench virus) and a small group of survivors.
Although first seen as a harmless nuisance to the public (with the exception of the Shark, which still retained its predatory instincts), the Death Stenches are later revealed to be undead monstrosities who begin to attack people. Eventually, the Death Stenches make their way to the shore and begin harassing several land dwellers. Over time, the Death Stenches began taking aquatic life (fishes, sharks, etc.) that crossed their paths as hosts, turning them into undead, berserk monstrosities. However, before the weapon could be deployed on the battlefield, Allied Forces dropped bombs on the cargo ship containing the Death Stench robots, causing them to sink to a watery grave, or so they thought.
The robots were designed to release a toxic gas that would make enemy soldiers extremely sick when inhaled. According to research notes from Koyanagi, the Death Stench robots were originally designed by the Japanese government during World War II as a last ditch biological weapon to turn the tide of the war.
