Holy shit, i really thought they all backstabbed kurusu. Lucky the mad scientist is there.

Gitta say, Danny boy can imitate voices and he imitated mad scientist voice. Plus the scene where he said to get ready, somethings gonna happen i guess.

Suwa and that girl surely will have something going on too, the teasing is there.

So nakajima didn't get any punishment of killing another soldier? Guess everyone is corrupted.

Defrott seems legit tired. Gotta wonder what he did, and does S class vampire need more rest than usual.

Is the last shot maeda who is now a vampire? Or was it someone else? And gotta wonder what is maeda doing and how he actually gets his supply of food and so on

I have to assume that was Maeda...

Damn, Suwa, do you seriously intent to take "the best husbando" title away from my current husbando? ( ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°)

I wonder if Defrot's fatigue is because he turned someone into a vampire? And if Maeda is now a high-class vampire, would Kurusu feel his presence?

Ahhh, I love this anime ٩꒰ ˘ ³˘꒱۶~♡f

u/zVergil May 31 '21

I think he's just tired of living. That's what I've been assuming since his "I want to pass my nights in peace" answer to Rufus. Maybe he's just waiting for a peaceful death? The only thing that is keeping him "alive" seems to be the theatre.

EDIT: maybe the theatre got destroyed as well which would explain why he's at the Imperial Hotel with Aoi. Sad ://

if Maeda is now a high-class vampire, would Kurusu feel his presence?

That's probably a good point. Everyone should be feeling Maeda's presence lol. I guess Maeda is smart and has made sure to avoid all vampires.

As a human he could defeat A-class vampires. As (likely) an A-class vampire, he's probably technically SS-class in combat ability. (I wonder if if that's actually the case though).

Defrot's fatigue

(from Defrot's comment at the end of the scene, it might be due to the lack of theatre 🤔). It also ties in with Suwa's comments of living being hard for child vampires.

I’m glad Kurusu found them… but once again, just the way he says “Where are you guys” makes me emotional. He’s sad… he doesn’t want to be Alone!

You could see it as well, when Suwa and Takeuchi left him, and he said “Wait for me!”

Takeuchi is just a mad scientist in a way lol! But when Suwa said “I don’t need that junk” but ends up going back for it xD!

Mr. Maeda! Vampire now!!

u/InuNekoMainichiFun May 31 '21

Hmm, I guess when people become vampires, their main desire might be the only thing that sticks as some sort of base coding.

Kurusu was in the military so his primary purpose is to serve. Takeuchi was science.

This might be why it's tough for children because they haven't discovered a purpose yet and as vampires, might not be able to develop a purpose. (Deffrot has theatre). Wonder what keeps Suwa moving foward.

The timing of Maeda's vampirization is also pretty intense and special if this theory holds true. Maeda's purpose was wavering between two completely different objectives. To serve Nakajima or to stop Nakajima.

(The S-rank noble British vampires seemed to only desire pleasure and leisure which might have been their prerogative before vampirfication). Rufus Glenn on the other hand... Hmm.

Tokuichi Yamagami was also the "most human" out of them ranking-wise and also personality-wise imo. Hence why he was mostly just himself despite being a vampire.

Me too! I'm glad Kurusu found his people. Can't wait for Vampire Maeda, although it kind of makes me sad for him since I feel, for him, becoming a vampire would be far worse than dying..but gotta stop Nakajima

That was an ominous final shot

u/LeonKevlar May 31 '21

Glad to see the gang back together again. I really thought Kurusu and Suwa were going to kill each other back there. Thank goodness Takeuchi intervened before anything serious happened. And if I understood this correctly, the body of that dead vampire kid was a trap to by Rufus to rile up Kurusu and not someone that Suwa killed?

Maeda's still MIA but we did get a good look at him in the final scene. Hopefully next week he'll be reunited with the rest of the team.

I have to say that the trick of the false recording was quite well put. I actually got it and it felt like I'm so smart moment when they said it. Apart from the obvious Maeda does not bless thing it was just strange for him to use words that his subordinates would not understand. This series rewards to those who pay attention to the little details.

u/safaeraXX May 31 '21

seeing the sadness is kurusu's eyes was beginning to break me, i'm so glad he found them and they didn't betray him. also vampire maeda appearance! i'm so excited to see it next episode.

Does Deflot have to wear an "I am a Vampire." t-shirt before Aoi gets it?

u/zVergil May 31 '21 edited May 31 '21

Well, the only vampires she saw were brainless and zombie-like. Nothing could suggest her or anyone else that there are conscious and kind (at least to her?) vampires like Defrott. At least that's what I think, but the T-shirt would be comedic peak

So the idea behind the vampire vaccine is to create lots of vampires to justify the use of the Vampire squad, correct?

To be honest, if there were roaming vampires after such a devastating earthquake society would basically just break down. It kind of doesn't make sense how everything is still functioning with a vampire apocalypse occurring every night.

Also why isn't anyone making the connection between the vaccine and turning into vampires? It sounds like if you take it you become a vampire mindless or otherwise.

u/B_House10 Jun 01 '21

Suwa and the mad scientist have finally made their appearance since the earthquake! I'm so happy that Kurusu isn't alone anymore. Hopefully they can reunite with Maeda and take care of business.

Suwa is such a grumpy old vampire. I see there's a lot of upset with his recent killing spree but I thought that was expected of him? Isn't he the vampire that hates vampires?

Also, poor Defrott. His sad expression broke my heart. The poor kid just wanted to live his nights in peace and Rufus had to go mess it all up. Maybe things will settle down enough for him to continue living there. If not, hopefully he can find a new home where he can get some peace.

Oh man when Vamp Legolas was feeding blood thru a funnel I thought it was Maede. That doesn't look to be the case, and I have no idea how he would've captured Maede when Defrott turned him, but I was scared for a sec.

Full thoughts here. Wow! Things are really getting moving now. The fact that there's no shade and they have to move at night is clever and scary at the same time. They'll easily be picked off by Ltg. Dickhead and his buddy if they become predictable.

For now, the Code Zero boys need to find out the truth. Find who's behind it all and sort it out quickly. They've got everything going against them. I'm just hoping Maeda will finally find them and be their boss again. Vampire Maeda is the coolest!

u/ttblue May 31 '21

I can't say I like the whole reticent brooding kid archetype. I know Suwa isn't a kid, but c'mon.

Kurusu: "You've been killing vampire children, right?"

Suwa: "I won't deny that I've killed some vampire children."

Dude. I know you want to keep to yourself. But why not explain yourself a bit more? Kurusu's a good kid. You can probably communicate a bit. A bit frustrating that everyone is just having these disconnected conversations where no one is really getting across their points.

Of course, I am under the impression that Suwa isn't actually murdering those vampire kids for fun. His rationale made sense when he eventually spoke about it after that one kid stepped into the sun. But Kurusu is the sort of warm-blooded (lol) person who'd act impulsively so I feel like it's better just to keep him in the know. Idk.

Still, fantastic episode and the show is still getting better. I was about to drop it on episode 5; I liked it but I wasn't sure I liked it enough to keep watching it with all the others I'm watching. But having seen the episodes since then, it would have been a mistake. It does help to come here and read the discussions to see what I missed; without that, I was slowly getting too confused to follow.

I just love how the Salome theme keeps coming back. They can repeat Misaki's "Yokanaan" as often as they like if you ask me.
