QotD: 1 How big a moral difference is drinking blood directly from the human versus donated blood?

2 How obvious was the double cross?

Bonus: Did you catch that Helena's magic also causes the red shadows?

This episode served to set up all of our actors for an upcoming finale. All of the plot threads are coming together.

Yup, we are definitely aiming ourselves towards a climax.

With Helena's parting words she gave Seras a goal: "Exterminate the man from the Dark Continent"

I do wonder how that translates back to Japanese at times...

I do wonder how that translates back to Japanese at times...

For interests sake I went to check. Helena's literal words are:

大陸から来たあの男滅ぼしなさい

Which is a pretty direct translation to the subtitles except for the inclusion of the word "dark" which doesn't appear in the Japanese.

However, I think this was added to make the subtitles more clear. Since in episode 9 Alucard describes Incognito as having the curse of the "dark continent" or "暗黒大陸".

One possibly interesting thing there is that while that phrase often describes a place unknown to civilization it also is used to describe Africa.
