| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Seems like only the dub version aired. The convo between Maede and Shirase was pretty fun xD She still lost the argument. Maede is a tough guy. |

| HMM...Shakespeare-ish vampire story??? Interesting, but to hear it in full dub, I feel like Funi surely effed up, but I'd like to believe that it's authentic. Persona non grata: Latin for "an unwelcome person", and in this case, it's other vampires.[/b] Rufus is under Defrott, and Ascra means the unfiltered human blood. That's all there is to know about the evil side. Maeda is in for some rude awakening, that's for sure. And Code Zero has been disbanded...? But one thing's for sure: the vampires are winning the war and are slowly taking over the city. Fear not, because the Code Zero members are working discreetly without Maeda. And the already-complete undying combat vampire units is but a detriment to the Code Zero team, WELP the cahoots. |

| Was it a mistake that the dubbed version aired? Either way it doesn't sound that bad. |
 |
| I had to double-check I was watching Sub and then I found out it was only available in Dub. Thought they hired some really good English VA's for this episode specifically. LMAO, But seriously it wasn't bad at all. Looks like Colonel Maeda is fine and healthy but in a hospital for now. Basically, he fainted out of exhaustion, nothing too serious He does miss Misaki from the looks of it. Using boats to transport themselves was a pretty bold but smart move. They were doing their job perfectly until the Vampire units made out of Vampires entered the scene and damn they're reckless. The story is taking an interesting take at this point. I'm still not sure where it'll go and how this will turn out in the end. |
 |
| Is anyone else only having dub play on Funimation for this ep? 80 bucks a year for this garbage lmao Ok ended up finishing it up in dub. What an episode. It was obvious that Nakajima was very upset about having to disband his vamp unit for the past few weeks, but man I wasn’t expecting him to go as far as killing a cabinet minister. This episode went by in the blink of an eye. I really want to learn more about the blonde vampire. He’s going to be the key to everything I can tell. |

The subs are translating the Japanese, which is going to be a little different. |
|
| I wanted to watch an anime about vampires. Now my ears are bleeding. |
 |
| I'm waiting for the sub version as well but... great episode once again! The writing in this show is so good and there are lots of great twists; the Hamlet's quote was pure genius and I'm glad I finally got the literary reference for once lol. I also liked the animation during the fights, it was way better than Kurusu's outrage from the previous episode. It seems that the story is going completely original from now on but let me say that Kurusu looked so badass with the mask and the cloak! |
| Watch the first part and though: Oh they are English so they hired English VA to voice them, then I continue and why is this episode? Please tell me there exist a Japanese version |
 |
| I was wondering why the subtitles were WAY off with actual English VAs. Now I know why lmao. Still, I would like if more anime aired at the same pace as the sub, as well as having actual English VAs and not Engrish for Americans/Brits. I manually switched languages watching Great Pretender, but if it can be combined but with pure English dub still existing, that’d be amazing. |
| Well that dub was pretty good I guess. Decent job on the accents. It kinda fit well. Anyway didn't except the story to take this turn. Wondering where tf Nakajima had all those vamps (?) and fallout power armor hidden lol. It seems like he was intending to wipe out all the S class, but Rufus or whatever was the one that did that with the poisoned blood substance. Coincidence or are they working together? Not sure. Seemed like it was Okajima or w/e dudes name was who brought over Rufus and co. in the first place. |
| Some of you guys seriously can't stand English dub enough to not just watch this only episode in English? Got me laughing thinking Japan actually hired good English voice actors...until I found out Dub was the only one available. Good episode regardless |

Probably one of the best I've heard atm. |
| “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| This was honestly weird. I get some shows would have English voices here or there, so that was my first thought, but then to see it was actually the dub. Made it even more weird. Fun episode though lol. |
| It’s a shame, but this anime isn’t clicking like it was in the first two episodes. I am not very invested in the politics and the scenes lacked cohesion in this episode. It felt unfocused which lessened the impact of most of the scenes. I like the shot layouts, the aesthetics, and the vampire action, but I find the story and characters to be rather unengaging. P.S. I did not watch the dub |
| The story has finally picked up, and at long last, the direction that enraptured me in the first episode was achieved once more, if only just briefly. This felt like a penultimate chapter, yet we're barely at the halfway point. What else is there for us to explore? Only the shados know. P.S.: Those flowers have a rather beautiful meaning: a promise of chaste love. |

| y'll is there any information about dub release? |
 |
| We all knew the women were going to die when they disrespected the blond vampire. lol Deffrot is so cute. I wanna poke his cheek. Are Maeda and Misaki related in some way? I just don't get it. I don't understand the importance of the reporter girl. And, I also don't like her. Also, it seems she knows Kurusu. The old man is one of the antagonists, isn't he? The important people from the protagonists' side and the second most powerful person from the antagonists' side are usually the main villains. Because of everyone, I checked the dubbed episode. I'm sorry, but it made me laugh so hard. Were the actors trying to sound British? |

I thought Maeda had never met his fiancée, and that he just knew she existed. |
In fact he never met her until he returned back to Tokyo just to find out that she was an abnormal and hopeless vampire - pretty sad, right? I suggest rewatching episode 1, it gives lots of hints about Misaki's identity as Maeda's fiancee and Nakajima's daughter. Aoi is the only one who seeks the truth (and wants the others to know it as well) in a society in which common people haven't realized they've been living together with vampires for centuries. She also has links with two essential character of the main cast, Defrott and Kurusu (she already stated that he was her "dead" childhood friend twice in episode 2, when we saw him and Yamagami turning into vampires in Siberia; also she did mention his name once to Maeda before) |
| Watching the dub version with another sub make me a little confusing. But whatever. So, the other general used Rufus to invited the S-rank vampires. But ended up getting that disturbance without his knowledge, thanks to the Rufus sneaky act again. Still, apparently, the real vampire unit from Maeda's commander has been fully mobilized, lefting Maeda Zero unit in a big confusion at the city. Poor them, disbanded and facing those situation without their leader in contact. Well, thats a chaos for you. But no wavering to the old man. Meanwhile, Colonel Maeda, after disappearing, he enjoyed himself at those little stroll. Looks like he got some information from the blonde boy. Whats exactly that? Okay. Waiting for another week looks fine to me with all of that things goin on.... |

Now, I feel like I was not paying attention. I recall some flashbacks, but I can't remember much from them. |
| i dont completely understand everything that happened this ep but thats mostly bc im not using my brian. still a rly cool ep tho, reporter girl is cute but she's starting to get on my nerves |
| Yeah they later re-released episode 5, with jp audio and subs. |
"A half moon, it has a dark half and a bright half, just like me…", Yuno Gasai |
| Good episode! Damn, I wonder what Rufus's game in all of this, he killed his subordinates, those ara ara vampires. I mean they were treating him like trash, but there's definitely other reasons for why he killed them with those potent ascras. Though he might be working with Nakajima. Did Maeda really collapse just because he was overworking himself? There's probably more to it than just that. Interesting, so Misaki is Nakajima's daughter and he started changing when he got his new position. He was working on those vampire units without anyone else knowing I guess. And as we expected Defrott was the one that turned Misaki into a vampire cause of her accident. Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| I feel like I never have the best grasp of what's going on in this show but it is still very interesting. All these different interests are starting to butt heads and it seems it is fucking up the city. I wonder what Maeda is doing? Overall great episode. |

There are some things I did not catch or fully understand in the past episodes, so I would be glad if you could help me with this. :) I thought that Deffrot might be innocent at first, on the other hand I also thought since he is high level vampire, he would not let other vampire to just walk in and turn his colleague. Now we know it was him, but I do not understand why he did it. |

Now we know it was him, but I do not understand why he did it. A large prop fell on Misaki during an evening rehearsal; as many suspected - since Misaki was an high class vampire - Defrott was the one who turned her into a vampire. Why? Assuming that he didn't orchestrate the whole accident, he tried to save her; and he also saved Aoi by taking with him the Ascra Rufus gave to her. Lastly, he called Rufus out and doesn't want him to turn Tokyo into a hunting ground for vampires. He's still a mystery but he gives me some very neutral vibes, especially when he said "I want to pass my nights in peace". It's up to your interpretation for now. Another thing I noticed is that none of the other S-class vampires (plus Rufus, we don't know his class) fear him at all, which surprised me |

Still wasn't he in the same play as Misaki? Since it was already established he's some overpowered vampire, why didn't just save Misaki from the accident? Hopefully we get some more explanation on that, cause as it stands now, it's quite thin. OT, why this anime is underrated atm? |

Nice question, that's why I wouldn't exclude the possibility of Defrott being behind the accident; he also seems to like teasing Maeda, right? But again, it could just be his personality and we don't know anything about the accident - maybe Misaki was rehearsing alone and Defrott found her too late on the floor. The whole ED gives me neutral vibes as well and its title is "On My Own". Can't wait for more info about him! Love how the score is going down each week while I'm liking the show more and more every time lmao |
| @zVergil Thanks for explaining. I forgot they mentioned the prop falling on her. In that case, it is clear that he tried to save Misaki by giving her his blood. I was not sure about him, but considering how he is portrayed in the ending song, I thought he might be a good guy after all. |

| Is Nakajima going rogue? Coup? Kurusu's all black outfit with mask and cape is *chef's kiss* |
| damn rufus is really dangerous but tbh the ladies deserved it cause man their personalities were godawful, also the vampire unit (the new one) is a no no for me |
| I just watched the episode today, so I was spared the English dub. Even when a dub is good it's still a dub, so I always avoid them (in both anime and live action). Nakajima shooting that minister(?) was the greatest surprise of the show so far. I wonder how he is going to deal with or cover that up.. Is he planning a full blown coup using those armored (and seemingly daylight functioning) vampires, all in the name of his "ideal"? Nakajima was also not surprised to hear the S-class vampires were dead. Since his own vampires (either the four we know or the armored ones) were highly unlikely to manage to kill them, and since Rufus knew about the "General" and his "finished product", it was clear that Nakajima and Rufus were working together all along.. Perhaps it was Nakajima who came up with the idea of Ascra so that more vampires are created and his "ideal" of a vampire combat unit (or even an entire army next?) can materialize.. Idealists (of any ideal) in position of power can be very dangerous, which suggests that Nakajima will probably turn out to be the main villain of the show.. I predict that the four leads, along with the Colonel, will team up with Deffrot to stop his mad plans. |
 |
| The 'new' vampire Unit looks badass.. Suwa and Kurusu are also a pretty badass duo |
| Got the feeling Nakajima will end up as an enemy seeing how his vampire unit seems sinister and him unexpectedly shooting down Okimura (although he was also suspicious for having talked with the blond vampire Rufus). |
 |
| So they show cased the British vamps that were working with the one military guy but all the new ones died to? The two previously introduced one part of the same group? Or these new kill zone fallout looking army vamps? |
