Cain Blood is a character in the Banana Fish series, as well as the leader of Black Sabbath, an African American gang that controls Harlem. Though initially neutral, he later allies with Ash in his battles against Arthur and Golzine.
Appearance
Cain is a black African American man, seemingly an older teen or young adult. He has dark, short curly hair that is shaved around the sides, and he has tattoos on his right arm and the right side of his chest, but these tattoos are often not visible. He wears a ripped jean shirt with no sleeves and a popped collar, along with gold stud earrings and black sunglasses.
Personality
As the leader of Black Sabbath, Cain appears to be highly defensive and is very outspoken, but this does not keep him from remaining confident and cool; rather, it gives him a sense of protective warmth that the other gang leaders lack. Cain remains protective of his gang but is loyal to his allies.

Relationships
- Ash Lynx: Like many others, Cain knew of Ash's reputation as a fighter and his incredible appearance. Despite Ash's beautiful appearance, Cain did not lower his guard around him and grew to respect him due to Ash meeting with him alone. Over the time they spent together, Cain and Ash became better friends but still had some tension as Cain was firm in allowing Eiji to sacrifice himself and not letting Ash stop him since he was the more valuable asset to their cause.
- Frederick Arthur: He rates Arthur lesser than Ash on account that he came with his subordinates to interact with him whilst Ash came alone.
- Sing Soo-Ling: Cain first meets Sing during Ash's and Arthur's "duel" and asks Sing if he is Ash's fan. The two of them work with Ash to fight against Dino.
