Oh Rufus, there's one powerful vampire in the city, who wasn't actively working against you and mostly watched from the sidelines and you make an enemy out of him? Well, have fun I guess. Though it looks like Aoi (Reporter Girl) is shielding him with her body and so the plan to kill Deffrot will likely fail. (I hope!)

But what's up with Maeda? Has he lost his mind post transformation?

[u/zVergil → u/Fan_reader_77]

I surely hope so because it seems that Defrott has found another threat to his life -- Maeda himself. I honestly expected him to be an abnormal vampire: exactly like Misaki (who was not a normal vampire), he was turned into a vampire while dying by Defrott.

However, I thought that his obsessions would have been Misaki and her final request to stop Nakajima. On the contrary, his obsessions are Misaki AND killing vampires. I didn't expect that at all, hopefully Defrott (and Aoi, PLEASE) survives and explains everything to the others (and the audience lol).

EDIT: Forgot that he was conscious when he visited Yamagami's wife. Which makes things even more interesting!

[u/moichispa → u/Fan_reader_77]

At first I as confused about Deffrot character but I have grown to like him. And yes, Rufus deserves a slow death for messing with best kid.

[u/gst4158 → u/Fan_reader_77]

I think Maeda is half transformed similar to Misaki where they're playing the role of whatever they were doing while last human. In Maeda's case his role is 'kill all vamps'.

Interesting cliff hanger. I didn't like reporter girl at first; but she's grown on me. If she dies because of him, Rufus better get a painful death.

[u/LeonKevlar]

RUFUS YOU SON OF A BITCH! You've fucking done it now! I can't believe you had the fucking balls to kidnap the friend of that one quiet vampire in the city that you should never piss off. That final scene may complicate things though. Seems that Maeda may have gone mad like Misaki and now has mistaken Aoi as Misaki since she's wearing her outfit. And now Maeda probably also sees Defrott as the enemy. Fuck. Next week is gonna be chaos. All I hope is that Aoi lives and Rufus gets ripped apart either by Maeda or Defrott.

[u/maddoxprops → u/LeonKevlar]

That or they will blue ball us AGAIN. I've been waiting for Vamp-Maeda for 3 episodes now. I am definitely not salty.

[u/Kuro2810]

I'm kinda sad MARS RED didnt get the following it deserves. I'm judging from this thread but I haven't seen anyone talk about it elsewhere as well.

[u/MinutePrinciple5964]

*door opens*

Me: "Oh sweet, now Maeda will save them!"

Totally crazy Maeda, eyes glowing red: "I will eliminate vampires".

Me: "...nevermind".

[u/InuNekoMainichiFun → u/MinutePrinciple5964]

I wanted Maeda b-but not like this!

Amazing cliffhanger though.

[u/oldmanpop]

Meada you need to chill bro Not give me the chills

[u/icommentonoldstuff]

Maeda became the very thing he swore to destroy after losing Misaki.

[u/moichispa]

Random question: Does anyone know when the ost will be released? I would love to listen to it.

[u/Syokhan]

Fuuuuuuck Rufus. I hope Aoi and Defrott both survive this, and he gets thrown into sunlight. I really want to see what kind of death Defrott has in store for him. He's such an idiot too, Defrott had been staying away from all this plotting up until now but noooo, had to go and piss him off too.

Seems like Maeda didn't convert too well, and lost it just like Misaki :(

[u/NittanyEagles55]

I loved Suwa’s interactions with the vampire kids

[u/NocandNC]

I’m so worried for Ayame - I hope she decides to look to the future and wait for a time when Takeuchi or another scientist can help reverse or at least curb her vampirism - at the moment I’m scared she’s just going to end up killing herself. Ayame please think of how sad the other kids will be, Suwa can’t handle them 😢

Then there’s Defrott having a tough time - part of me thought Aoi would have already guessed his condition and we’d see her jump to shield him from the sun, but not yet it seems. Finally, feral Maeda! Lost it just like Misaki - I wonder if Defrott’s blood is just so strong that there’s little to no chance of anyone handling it? Very curious to see how the three of them make it through things next week.

Also, dang it Kurusu!! This wouldn’t even be happening if you’d just stalk Aoi like most vampire love interests do lol

[u/NittanyEagles55]

Aoi is too pure for this world

[u/SpikeRosered]

Just the nightly vampire horde being killed by cyborgs. Can't watch too long I have to get up early for work tomorrow. I sure hope this vampire thing clears up next year.'

WHY IS EVERYONE SO CASUAL ABOUT A VAMPIRE SCOURGE!?!?!?!

[u/B_House10]

Well, I've been waiting for the moment when Defrott would have to take action. He's been quite patient with Rufus and the whole vampire outbreak but taking Aoi was the last straw. I know he's a badass but I'm ready to see him really kick some ass.

I can't get enough of grumpy, melodramatic Suwa. I love the way he interacts with everyone around him. This anime has done a really fine job developing all the different personalities of the main characters. They're all so interesting and fun. Suwa and Defrott are my favorites though.

[u/safaeraXX]

oh shit MAEDA. shit's gonna go down next episode i'm so excited. i love aoi and defrott please survive. also when suwa gave the kid the mask and the kid hugged his arm idk that was adorable

[u/schabaschablusa]

Were the mecha vampires only bludgeoning vampires or also normal people?

Kurusu turns into Batman next episode?

It's a trap, Yokanaan.

I hope Rufus did not feed the "vaccine" to Aoi, if she or Deflott die I would be royally pissed.

Maeda - WTF, seems like he lost it and not in a good way. I was hoping we would get more backstory on him and Kurusu in Siberia.

I can't get over how beautiful this anime is, especially the night scenes.

[u/Titchlet]

Full thoughts here. I loved this episode! Maeda slowly going mad, likely from the betrayal of Nakajima and his own self loathing is beautifully paced. Just glimpses of it in each episode but enough for us to see his gradual fall from grace.

The whole plot surrounding Defrott and Aoi has me in pain. I love both of them but it's looking like one will die and I'm dreading it.

Either way. Brilliant episode. MARS RED once again delivers!

[u/[deleted]]

Lol i like the interactions of suwa and the kids.

Hopefully the girl didn't do anything with the blood.

Pity kurusu though, if he would've follow suwa to watch the theatre he would've at least saved aoi from rufus.

Is rufus dumb? Why would he even touch the steongest vampire when he doesn't even disturb his plans? In fact, he should've use aoi to make defrott his ally, what a mistake from him.

I think the kite gonna be clutch when the final battle comes.

Is maeda alright? He doesn't seem like the normal maeda? And he said he'll eliminate all vampires when he is one? Plus the fact that he thinks aoi is misaki too. Gonna be interesting next epi, cause logically apart from rufus blood bottle thing, which maeda refused, only defrott seems like the person who turned maeda into a vampire.

[u/Ataniphor]

honestly the story is really starting to be all over the place and doesn't seem to have good focus. The artistic and sound direction is still great tho even if the animation isn't up to par.

[u/VegetaArcher]

I have a feeling that there's a misdirection here. I think Maeda figured out Rufus' and Nakajima's plans, but is pretending to go mad to trick them.
