| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- With Yamagami gone, Maeda missing and Kurusu remaining, the stage of the vampires start its infectious reign, while the mechanized Artificial Vampire Unit just lays waste to whatever it sees. Definitely feels like Purgatory for the lonewolf. The enthusiastic Aoi just wants to get back to her job of newspaper reporting, while the split vision of Kurusu definitely is hallucinating the mind. And for those officers that have the vials of anti-vampire vaccine antidotes (that are definitely from Ascra origin), it certainly causes more suspicions when faced with vampires. It's sad to see that Yamagami's wife is still living nicely, while the regret strewns down Kurusu's face, and quite possibly with revenge. As expected, Rufus with Lieutenant General Nakajima, and the obfuscation of growing vampires with Ascra blood, things are looking grim. And notice when Rufus is singing "Danny Boy", it's pretty much a diaspora of the looming danger. There are bad vampires, but there are good ones as well, and Tenmanya houses them for a hope to house the young uns. Get ready to fight, because all hell is breaking loose! Stay safe, Kurusu, the world is not safe out there. |
 |
| The special forces are here and they ain't holding anything back. Kurusu what seems like being the only survivor in his force going around places and trying to help others as what he feels like his duty is. He went to see Yamagami's house to see if his wife is doing alright after that earthquake. She asked him what kind of man he was? What he told made her happy. He's really missing his comrades. Poor guy, I feel bad for him. People being vampires here and there and the ones who are already vampires acting weird after the vaccines. Tenmaya is sheltering the vampires with three new additions now providing them the nourishment they need to survive in this harsh society. But, looks like forces are here already and Kurusu has no choice but to fight. |
 |
| Kurusu is alone in this world without his comrades, pretty sad if you ask me. I'm dying to know what happened to Maeda, hopefully we're updated next episode |
 |
| Mmmmm, rough watch that was. Seeing everything like that, going to be an interesting last few episodes for sure. |
| Cool addition in the visuals at the end of the opening: Kurusu's military cap flies off and Code's Zero room is completely destroyed. It was quite tough to watch, Kurusu is all alone in this world without his comrades. At least he was able to smile when he found out that Aoi and Yamgami's wife were safe; he's so pure and kind and I can't see him like that, please. The title of the episode is self-explanatory: because of the earthquake and the "vampire disease" (aka the army giving Ascra to all the citizens), the whole country is slowly becoming true Hell. It seems like that it's still part of Nakajima's plan, but he's always shown that he didn't want to involve innocents. Mhh... Two things that caught my interest. First of all, a soldier wearing the same uniform as Kurusu's visited Tomiko; maybe it was Maeda? I think he's the only one who could have given that object to his wife. Also, the vampire unit with purple eyes who rebelled and killed the others... so it is possible to regain consciousness after drinking Ascra? Anyway, Rufus is crazy in the head and I absolutely love that lmao. Another great episode! |
| I'm just glad that Kurusu is safe, and he got to see Aoi. I really wanted to know what happened with Maeda, plus he was probably the one that went to Yamagami's house to give his wife that memento?! |
| Kurusu vs. the World |

If I remember correctly, it was the lighter that Yamagami used to light Maeda's cigarette before dying. So yeah, it was probably him! |

| Kurusu is the only remaining member at the moment, Maede is missing. Man is going through a lot, in despair and he's lonely. Pretty sure the man that went to Yamagami's house was Maede. Hopefully we'll see Maede soon (he might be a vampire or he's hiding somewhere) |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Shuutarou is fantastic to watch, he is definitely one of the best characters in this show, right next to Maeda. He seems to be going a bit crazy, maybe from a lack of blood and loneliness but that should be solved now. He's so selfless wondering and wandering around trying to find his friends and making sure everyone is ok. I love this guy. I hope he reunites with Maeda next episode, that would be fun. I feel like this was the best episode, Shuutarou really was great to watch and a lot of the scenes and ideas (like the government vaccinations making people vampires and the vampire units turning on each other) were super interesting, this might even be the best episode of the series, in all but one aspect. I normally don't care enough about the art to a point where it bothers me but the art in this episode was terrible. Unintentionally funny faces, expressionless movement (like him yelling at the vampire units ~20:40), scenes that seemingly jump from one to the other as if they were rushed ("We made it somehow"). This was a otherwise fantastic episode but the art really was subpar (not like it bothers me). Can't wait for the next one though. |

| One can hardly believe so, but it would seem the plot has thickened yet again. If only the visual fidelity remained quite as contstant in its improvement... That aside, until the last scene I would still have believed Maeda refused the blood and died a human death. That no longer seems to be the case. I wonder where he went... |
| If I could be an expert in just one arcane, and madness inducing field of study, it would be you. |
| After 2 of the best episodes in the series, this episode was pretty underwhelming. The animation wasn’t very great as usual, but the story in this episode wasn’t that engaging. It was just Kurusu wandering around and whining that he can’t find anyone in his unit. The OST didn’t do anything special in this episode either. A pretty “eh” episode overall. |
| Really nice episode with great plot points: - Maeda is probably a vampire now - the army is giving Ascra to people, but for what reason? to weed out "the weak"? - that one special unit vampire with the purple eyes... what was up with that? And more importantly, are we gonna see Drei-kun join that fight now that his "home" was turned into hell? |

I am happy that Kurusu is getting the spotlight right now, him and Yamagami are my favourite characters. It's such a strange coincidence that this is coming out now while the pandemic is happening |
 |
| man that hurt to watch. kurusu just wondering around alone, and every place he goes will eventually be destroyed. he got to see aoi too god that really hurt |
| Ah, there you are, boy. Kurusu actually got separated after being washed away from the quake that hit all over the place. Maeda kinda be saved, and i think he finally become the vampire by the look of him these episode. Kurusu visited every places, where he can reach, hoping to meet with the others, even met Aoi without him can ever dare to face her eye-to-eye. Poor them. Well, after meeting with Yamagami wives, he might've had an idea of whats goin on there. But, things gotten more crazy in the society, forcing Kurusu to be a savior of some of them in the meaning time. Fuckin Rufus and the old man spreading Ascra as a vampire vaccine, and transform every single shit into the red-eyed one, hoping to gain control the community, one day. Sure, the old man will be mad with quake. But seeing Rufus dancing and kicking the chair really an annoying view. Tenmanya and his Head Clerk old vamp saved and used the hidden place to accommodate some manageable vamps. Its not an easy job for them both. But, well, thats the real example of dedication for you.... |

| I wish there was more screen time for Shuutarou, also wish they showed more of his relationship with Aoi before the whole vampire thing happened to him |
 |
| I keep forgetting that Kurusu is one of the main characters. He may be powerful and sexy, but he still seems like such a side character. Maybe it's just because he hasn't affected the plot at all. Something felt missing this episode. I don't get why. It felt like I'd skipped a scene or a whole episode. They showed us how to kill these new kind of vampires. Can't wait till one of the lead characters uses the method. Why does a vampire want to create more vampires? It's like you are purposely making your food inedible and scarce. Who died at the end? I didn't get it. |
| Damn, they're handing out Ascra's under the pretense that it's a vaccine for vampire disease. That's fucked, but why though, do they want to turn the entire country into vampires or something? What's Rufus and Nakajima's end goal here? Pretty good episode, also a depressing one. Kurusu is all alone now, but at least Aoi is still doing fine and energetic as always. Suwa and Takeuchi is probably still also alive somewhere, and Maeda is most likely that soldier that gave Yamagami's wife his lighter. Good to see Tenmaya doing fine and helping humans turned vampires. I assumed that vampire unit soldier that attacked his team would be Suwa or Takeuchi but, it was just acting up, so the vampire unit is not perfect. Looking forward to the next episode. I guess this is where we finally transition into Kurusu being the main protagonist. |
 |
| i liked that we got to see more of kurusu this episode my boy deserves some screentime but otherwise it was a good episode while we got to see the aftermath of the special forces terrorizing the city |
| hmmm did i miss something? why is Kurusu suddenly in a question of everyone not present? did the earthquake did so much collateral damage!? hmmm 4/5. |
 |
| Love Kurusu's character. looked like the major visited Yamagami's wife to check up on her. That's nice. Might be just me but I can't recall any earthquake taking place. Could someone fill me on what happened there? I don't think it was in the last episode either. It may have slipped my mind. Thanks in advance! |

The earthquake - a real one, the Great Kanto Earthquake - happened in episode 6 when Yamagami and Kurusu were trying to stop Maeda from drinking Ascra after the conv with Nakajima. It's also the reason why Yamagami had to die (in order to save Maeda) and Maeda had to become a vampire to survive. Also yeah, Kurusu best boi |

Looks like a rewatch is in order. And yes, Kurusu is best boy. |

| Head clerk ain't fooling around, he's about to whoop the vampire Unit ;P |
| Kinda curious to what the point of giving the Ascra to everyone is other than perhaps create a mindless vampire army. Also curious to what happened to Maeda |
 |
| What's the point of turning randoms into vampires via "vaccine". It either turns them, kills then, or turns them into those mindless versions right? Is it just to justify having that mega vampire unit around ? Also this is the second show I seen that takes place in this era that has an earthquake of similar magnitude happen. Makes me think it's based off a real event |
