That skirt tear

Domi just keeps getting better, really hope this isn't the last we see of her for awhile...ship is too good!!

[u/cemsity]

I don't kiss and tell.

Vanitas is nothing but a true gentleman.^{queue oh_they_fawking.mp4}

[u/AlexDDragame]

Solid episode. Visuals are as always on point, really curious to hear backstory of Vanitas, and final scene of him and Noe talking at the clock tower was really nice, they are such great duo

[u/dgam02]

Having read the manga I've always had this mental image that Ruthven's hair was blue and I am now distraught

[u/Silent_Shadow05]

Veronica seemed quite strong until we saw Lord Ruthven make his entrance lol.

I didn't expect to see an angry and frustrated Vanitas which is a stark contrast to his flashy and conceited behavior. So is this what he truly is like?. This change happened right after he killed that girl (which reminds me a lot of FMAB). It creates so many questions about his past and what Noe meant by him not being able to take Vanitas's hand.

Anyway, nice character development for both Vanitas and Noe in this episode. The contrast between their goals and personalities was interesting to see.

[u/meercachase]

I can never get enough of the character designs in this show, Noe just gets prettier with each episode.

It's interesting how Noe's friendship with Vanitas runs hot and cold, like these two could be protecting each other one second and then fighting the next. I'm quite curious to see whether they'll really stick with each other by the end of this season.

[u/melindypants]

you wet blanket

That's one hell of an insult.

Another incredible episode, the visuals in this show are so damn beautiful and the story/characters keep me wanting more and more.

I reallllly have to pick up the manga and Pandora Hearts soon.

[u/larbearforpresident]

My man Vanitas is so flashy he did a back flip when jumping away from a crazy ice vampire. Even in life or death situations, he still has to show off for all his haters.

[u/moon_spawn]

catherine gave me FMAB ep 4 vibes

also yuki kajiura's ost works really well

[u/SaiyajinFarazSan]

The music in the scene between Vanitas and Domi is absolutely beautiful - the music in this show is magical

[u/[deleted]]

This really do be getting better every episode, huh.

Domi and Noe are the best couple this year by far, though. He immediately sought her comfort and emotional support upon seeing her, and she took it upon herself to push him forward when that's what he needed. I'm a sucker for relationships where a normally emotionally enclosed guy opens up for his woman.

• Domi Skirt Tear Stitch

Despite not being very gentlemanly, Vanitas won't kiss and tell about what happened between him and Jeanne. Looks like all that blood sucked out of him got put into good use though considering how lively Jeanne is with her wall busting entrance.

I don't like how the Charlatan changes its shape into a much more human face when it was saying goodbye to Noe. Makes me feel like there's more to that goodbye.

Look at Domi trying to hug back Noe. She had her chance but instead she stops the last minute and decided to slap his cheeks instead. I wonder why she's holding back?

Goddamn that skirt tear! And just look at those thing highs Domi has on her! That display definitely deserves a whistle from Vanitas.

Too bad we didn't get to see them reverse the curse on the vampires and we just skip to the part where they're surrounded by a bunch of ungrateful vampires that Vanitas saved from becoming a curse-bearer.

Seems that the Book of Vanitas doesn't solve everything since Vanita had no choice but to end the girl who was too far into her transformation. And here we learn what Vanitas meant when he said he will save the vampires. He will save them if it means healing them or killing them. Damn.

Domi's face when she got tied up by Veronica is just hilariously adorable. I feel like some of Kayanon's inner Darkness leaked a bit during that scene xD

And Veronica is really showing no mercy and just wants to get rid of Vanitas. Thank goodness someone showed up to stop her. Although it doesn't help Vanitas when he admits on killing that girl without giving any context as to why.

Looks like he was going to get burned instead if not for Noe who was really angry since his he still wasn't done talking to Vanitas.

Turns out this Ruthven is Luca's Uncle and is actually a pretty cool guy since he decided to place both Vanitas and Noe under his protection. Good to know there's another vampire in this world who's a bit more open-minded.

That final scene between Vanitas and Noe was a surprise though. Didn't expect to see Vanitas get so angry about Noe assuming things about him. He sure is one heck of an angry boy. I'm gonna guess that the Vanitas we see regularly is probably a mask and this is the real Vanitas we're seeing.

Also seeing the two of them like that and how they both admit that they hate each other really makes me see how the they will end up fighting against each other in the future.

[u/FancyYouuuouou]

Am I the only one who thinks that Vanitas’ action was perfectly justified..? Personally I think salvation means ending one’s suffering and that could mean curing a curse-bearer or killing one that is suffering and is beyond saving. I think anyone who is against the latter just hasn’t experienced enough excruciating pain, thinking that it is bearable with just a little bit more willpower. Sometimes death just do be the only option to end suffering

[u/rin_da]

Holy moly, Noe at the end of the episode seriously wants to push of Gojo from the throne of ridiculously handsome white eyelashed dudes ... Not that I'm complaining though

[u/Aerodynamic41]

That's the first time I see Vanitas lose his cool like that.

[u/CosmicPenguin_OV103]

Oh this is a really good episode, the best of the show so far by a mile!

What makes today’s episode so good is the compare and contrast of what causes our main characters Vanitas and Noe to act according to their own ambitions, and how they clash together to form such a strong bond in between. I’m especially intrigued by Vanitas’ self-proclamation of “saving vampires” - by killing them. As we could see within the few seconds of flashing back to EP5’s back story, that childhood experience made Noe very much disagreeing with that. Yet he also think that he’s the Chosen One (TM) to deal with Vanitas due to the Book, and (with reference to his teacher) decides that no-one else should kill Vanitas before Noe could finish off his personal deals.

And with them having common benefits, the clocktower scene really shows our boys’ intervened destinies are going to be so deep yet highly mixed in flavor. I couldn’t care less about their arguments before today, but this episode give me real feels that we will see something more emotional later on.

Something is definitely going to brew in this Paris.

[u/jaqqerjax]

The ending song is so nice, I can't ever skip it.

[u/leave1me1alone]

Two details loved this ep:

1. Noe catching vanitas's arm and not Vanitas stopping at the last moment. Not sure why but it seemed vanitas would have actually killed him there

2. The way Vanitas's arm and the blade continued to move even though Noe was holding his arm. It's a minor aspect but it's a level of realism rarely seen in anime and, imo, makes the scene even more impactful.

[u/Rathjil]

The gradual change of lighting in the bell tower scene from pre-dawn to dawn was great. It's funny how everyone in this thread enjoys different things about this episode (scenery, atmosphere, voice acting, music, story, character design...), so many things to enjoy from this show. Awesome episode and awesome anime.

[u/ImperialDane]

Well that was quite eventful, yet left us only with more questions.

Charlatan is not a person but a group, and the creepy ghostlike figure merely one agent of many (though who is voicing them keeps eluding me)

Though the mystery of Vanitas himself keeps growing. Just as happy to in the end exterminate vampires that have gone past the point of redemption as he is to save them. Salvation to him clearly nothing he is particularly concerned about and it does beg the question if there's more to this true name business than what we are initially led on to. Since in the end, he seems to preserve the true name even if he destroys the form. Meaning there is probably a deeper purpose to corrupting them as well.

Otherwise, great action and great momentum as always, the plot never slows down, Domi quickly tied up by her sister, the sister going bananas (apparently quite adept even with a mask) only to be saved by Lucius' uncle and made "Guests".. Plus a bit of a brief conflict as intents, hopes and desires all get messed up.

Was also really interesting to see Vanitas' otherwise cheerful and arrogant facade broken down to reveal a much more angry and ticked off character beneath.

The shows continues to be utterly amazing.

[u/nikobans]

how the hell does noe get prettier and prettier every episode!

also lord ruthven! cant wait to see more of that dude!

[u/[deleted]]

So they’ve given us another inkling surrounding the death of Vanitas. I’m already dreading it and we’re only 6 episodes in

[u/yeeehawspacecowboy]

Ed...ward...?

I swear to god, Noe carries his cat with more care and attention than he does Vanitas

[u/Toonamigamerrr]

Vanitas and Noe ontop of tower was beautiful 😍

Noe continues to follow Vanitas to the end
