| I read the manga (all Chapters) so it was as predicted - all this episode for flashbacks BUT I enjoyed it. Beautifully done! These young versions actually look better (more sweet / cute) as in manga :) That is surprising. |
| Forever hold this heart that I will give to you Forever I will live for you |
| Pretty good episode. The trio were so adorable when they were kids, but of course knowing this author, they couldn't have a happy ending. It was obvious Louis was going to die since the beginning of the episode, but the execution was great and it fulfilled its purpose as a backstory pretty well. Similar to the last episode, the music really elevated the intensity of the scenes so huge props to the staff for that. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Noe's backstory revealed! What a traumatic story between him and Louis, and revealing a bit about the curse. Very intriguing, glad I continued watching it!  |
| Noe's backstory was quite interesting and this episode flew by super fast lol. I didn't even think we were at the halfway point by the the time the episode actually ended lol. I like noe a lot more now |

Erotaku_ said: Well thats a surprise. Tbh Noe story is like a happy fairy tale compared to what vanitas has gone through...(Even though his whole isnt revealed) BUt yeah i can get why someone would hate his character(He hates himself so yeah viewers can hate him too)Great episode, probably my favorite so far What makes this episode great is that they are capable of going from funny/cute to dark/serious and then back and forth so smoothly. Really loved how the episode was directed. Also, can't go without mentioning the great VA work this episode. Kayano and Shimabukuro as Domi and Louis was excellent and obviously Ishida is a legend and casting him as Sensei is also an excellent choice. My least favorite part was when Vanitas showed up at the end. I've come to the conclusion that he's my least favorite character. |

| I was not ready to see Louis. I really like him, and it hurts to see him die a second time. Something about Louis reminds me of Lelouch. lol The charlatan isn't that cool-looking here. I wish it was properly animated instead of just being a single image getting warped. I feel like it should look almost air-like, as though you might unwillingly breathe it in, and let it invade and destroy you from the inside. |
| Vanitas out there busting a nut with Jeanne while Noé was forced to remember the worst moments of his life. Now seriously, this episode was pretty damn good. No wonder why Louis acted so angsty every time Noé had a flashback... poor kid. Art direction was simply stunning, by the way. |
| The dark part was good but the chibi overload was damn annyoing |

It's not because Vanitas may have a sadder backstory that we should like him more (and it has nothing to do about him hating himself). |
| Damn Noe had a rough backstory. It was pretty obvious how it would play out but I think the execution was handled pretty well. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| yea tragic past childhood of Noe! younger version of them vamps are so adorable so sorrow this happen...oh man... 5/5. |
 |
| This episode was so sad! ): I felt very bad for Louis. To die just like that... I couldn't help but think that his grandfather could've done something, being the most powerful vampire in the vampire world, and chose not to do anything. He just killed his own grandson very coldly. That was too sad. It kind of left the episode with a bad taste afterwards. |
Alice0006 said: Why chibi is annoying? Especially in this episode because they are just children. I am just curious because some people think like this while watching Vanitas no Carte (The author really like to draw chibi especially in comedy part). On the other hand, I just think it's cute. Occasional chibi is nice and mostly cute but this episode had too much. We had to witness chibi faces every 3 seconds in the first half and that can get quite annoying. It also ruins the seriousness of the ongoing story a bit. |

Well, the first comment only said that Vanitas is his least favorite character so it's not even about hating. |
| Intense episode. It was terrifying to see Louis' death come straight clean right in front of Noe. I'm really curious if that sensei will be a villain or not. His face was very creepy when he killed Louis. I mistakenly thought he was the charlatan. |
| Goddamn, Bones did an amazing job with Noe's backstory. Domi, Louis and Noe were so adorable as kids. Fuck you Charlatan. Vanitas was really out there getting the succ before he saved Noe who was reliving the worst moments of his life. Really looking forward to the next episode! |
 |
| definitely the best episode so far. Vampire Night! Noe master was very scary! I do not think he was a little upset ... |
| Pretty good episode. Backstory was compelling enough. They didn't hold back on the brutality with the beheadings. No censorship I could notice, but they did have the violence warning for that reason. Anyway this gives context to some of the flashback 5 second scenes we've had up till now. |
| well that warning was a red flag quite jarring going from fluff to 100 but this was a really well done episode how quickly things happened it caught me off guard also whoever voiced that scream needs a rise give me a good scare listening to it with noise canceling headphones geez they had a rough childhood legit was confused when i first saw Domi because i thought she was just a tomboy it turns out it was Louis from the first flashbacks and uh..this explains a lot |
 |
| it gets better every episodes tbh , Noe backstory is really well done |
 |
| Wow, Domi's character definitely developed over time. Seeing her as a a child and then in current day is very interesting. Pretty intense episode. I would like to know more about Sensei's decision as well. Vanitas coming to the rescue at the end. |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Fall 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| Wow that was fucking enchanting, to say the least. Amazing episode!!!!!! Kaito is doing such a great job with Noé. His pained screams really got me. Who....or rather, WHAT is the Sensei. So many questions indeed. |
 ๊ค but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ๊ค |
| I appreciate the trigger warning, but I think I'm either numbed to seeing that level of violence in regular anime anyway or the levels of shit you see in Goblin Slayer and Devilman Crybaby were so extreme that what happened in this episode paled in comparison. I'm glad we got information on Louis though. It was interesting to understand what sort of influence he had on Noe. |

isuzusan said: Considering they showed the beheading of children, it had to be made to some extent i suppose(COnsidering people dont like seeing children being killed brutally). HOwever this is not even close the level of darkness the story will have later on. I think from now on we will see alot of trigger warnings I appreciate the trigger warning, but I think I'm either numbed to seeing that level of violence in regular anime anyway or the levels of shit you see in Goblin Slayer and Devilman Crybaby were so extreme that what happened in this episode paled in comparison.

|
| Damn seeing Noe's backstory was quite sad, this is how Noe found out about Curse-Bearers and sadly Louis and Mina was on of them. Great Episode. |
 |
| Gotta say that I really liked seeing Noe's backstory in this episode since it talked about Noe, Louis, and Domi's relationship, but at the same time, this episode was the one that caught me off guard the most since it went from something that was pretty wholesome to something that was dark, especially the part where Louis's grandfather killed Louis without any hesistation whatsoever Anyways, we also got to see Vanitas return just in time to prevent the Charlaton from doing anything else to Noe, and I'm definitely excited to see what's next! |
| FUCKING KNEW ITTTT THAT CUTE SWEET LOVELY FIRST HALF WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. something awful was bound to happen but i tooo the bait and got attached to louis FUCKK ??? god damn teacher was too nice to be real |
SideCharacterKal said: You mean Louis who got killed by the Teacher. Edit: Just saw another reply correcting you, nevermind ~A backstory on Noe, Domi and Louis. The first half was just wholesome but it ended up very badly.. Domi ends up getting killed by the Teacher. We've got a lot of information about the characters in this episode. Now we know why he wants to save them so badly. Charlatan almost took over Noé but thanks to Vanitas. He's saved. |

| The way it started with all the merry and kids having fun stuff after that violence warning sign made me wonder just what dark stuff is gonna happen but damn didn't expect Noe to have such traumatizing past. It must've been really traumatizing for Noe to see all of his friends get killed and then see the most important friend get decapitated literally in front of his eyes. Now I think I get why Noe said that he will have to kill Vanitas in the end by his own hands. He doesn't want the Louis incident repeat itself. If Vanitas goes crazy then Noe will kill him before the bourreau gets in action. So glad Vanitas arrived on time. I would've lost my shit if he was still busy doing stuff with Jeanne while Noe got swallowed by Charlaton. |
| So much for the teacher saying he was interested in watching over Louis, or whatever. Dude just straight up killed him. It didn't seem like he gave a fuck. |
| Noe's past was very sad, not only did he not know his parents he also lost his grandpa and grandma who took care of him, now he has to lose Louis one of his childhood friends, and little Domi is so cute I don't know how she can be so sexy as an adult. |
 |
| Noe has a dark past I feel sorry for him. |
 |
| Just the episode you would expect from a vampire show. Cool |
| That was so sad I really liked Louis, poor thing :( Vanitas saving Noe was cool lmao I missed him this episode |
| Eh, boring but contributed a lot to the story that it was actually p good backstory for Noé. I feel bad for Louis as he was pretty much damned to die. Other side characters low-key didn't have anything special about them so I didn't care. Good episode. |
