----------------------------------------
Kurusu and the people of Tenmanya are in safe hands...for now, whilst the vampires act their sortie under the guise of normal life. Needless to say, the Tokyo town is infested with vampires, plus the "infamous red specs" of the artifical vampire units, and Rufus's "Danny Boy" plan into action.

The long-ridden Code Zero base where Kurusu, Yamagami, Suwa, Takeuchi and Maeda used to operate, plays the limbering Salome...and Kurusu's a vampire target...? What suspicious betrayal that is hidden from deep within.

Suwa's true colours are shown: he's a child vampire (though this was a set up by Rufus for his grand stage and impersonating Maeda's voice), and Takeuchi is still the same research experimentalist from old. These 3 Code Zero troublemakers who are still alive must live to see the day coming.

Being a vampire, you can't save your own kin, even if they're women and/or especially children who are VERY vulnerable to the usual ways of a vampire. Those that are already injected with the vaccine are safe, though it must've taken lots of Ascra to do so.

The battle of good and evil lies between what these 3 good vampires do to salvage the current situation, and forget about all the military "pride and ego" that Lieutenant Nakajima must fend for.

All the players are slowly entering onto the stage, and let the play begin its wrought and drought...except Defrott.

The red specs are still on a roll and Kurusu is still looking for Suwa. Kurusu found a recording where Maeda told his subordinates to eliminate anyone who poses a threat including Kurusu which didn't make him at ease not knowing that it was a setup.

When Kurusu finally found Suwa, they got into a fight but thanks to Takeuchi, It didn't last long. Suwa shared some words of wisdom with Kurusu on why children vampires can't survive and why there are only so few of them. Suwa is still as cold as ever, even to the kids. And, oh boy, Did we just saw Maeda at the end there?

This is cruel, too cruel. I know this anime is supposed to be cruel, but it still leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Well, at least the team survived the quake. Thats the good news, even though the setup kinda weird; making them fight like that, and its stop completely. I thought they were gonna fight for real. But, welp, its just a trap. Thanks to Takeuchi for figuring out the mistake line on that order, everything ended up in a fine way. Also, Rufus impersonate the sound and used it for his own goods also a strange revelation and might've supposedly become an important part in the near future. Whats the matter behind that?

Suwa's little words about the child vampires. Well, after he said that, he found the child vamps, (yeah, not only one, but three) whose survived against all of his statements before. I find it rather a funny moment. Be nice, Suwa onii-chan. Its not that hard to being a proper figure at least one in a time. Next mission, helping Tenmanya out of his problem. Sounds okay enough....

Idk about the twisted old man, yo, he seems more pushy this time, and the Danny Boy guardian, Rufus, appearance always annoying me, idk why. Something big will surely happened. I shall be ready. Then, well, hello, is that you Maeda-san? Whats up with your eyes?

This was an okay episode for me, watching both episode 8 and 9 they felt like they were too slow. I get it that they both had these little concepts that they were about, and they are somewhat thought-provoking but we are close to the end. I'd like to see something grand and more theatrical like episode 1 in the upcoming episodes. Also the final scene got me hyped up.

Intriguing developments with Suwa. I look forward to see where this further leads to in upcoming episodes. Aside from that, nothing really special about this episode - I could say the same for the past episode too.

They almost got me right there, not everyone is going to survive, the strongest is the survivor after all, that Maeda's look gave me chills!

Better than last episode. At least most of the team is together now.

I feel like this anime is very inconsistent. There will be some episodes with really interesting action, great storytelling, and great music, but then there will be pretty forgettable episodes where it is just competently advancing the plot and nothing sticks out as memorable.

We got our first vampire action in what feels like forever between Kurusu and the mask vamp, but it was over in under 20 seconds.

We should se vamp Maeda next episode, so that’s something to look forward to.

Suwa killing that child was a tough pill to swallow for sure. That aside, Maeda's looking fresh af.

Great episode! I had a feeling that recording was fake, Rufus really trying to manipulate everyone. Glad Suwa and Takeuchi are back, our cinnamon boy Kurusu is not lonely anymore. Surprised to see that soldier with a hell of a mustache still alive lmao, well Nakajima has their ticket to the after life, it's only a matter of when he'll give it. Deflot looking and sounding like he dead inside, kinda sad.

I wonder who that Danny Boy Rufus was feeding or something. I really hope nothing bad happens to the kids in Tenmaya. Damn, is that Maeda at the end? He looks cool as fuck. The only question now is, is he a friend or foe? Looking forward to the next episode.

Kurusu met the other guys. Suwa was the one killing the children, but there's prob a second killer too. At the end you can see Maede, the vampire.

I really thought Maeda made that recording and was following the orders of his superiors against his friends judgment. I'm so glad it was fake but what an amazing tell, thank god Takeuchi managed to pick up on it.

I really wonder Defrott's place in all this, she is really featured in the outro but we haven't seen too much of her apart from snippets. There's only a few episodes left so I think we might get to see more of her.

Speaking of, we didn't see any Maeda. I see other people are saying that's him at the end but I can't really tell. He wasn't doing anything particular either so I hope we get to see him in action next episode.

Overall good episode, can't wait for the next one though.

Ever since the earthquake, the tone of the series is much more somber, it walks not quite on the footsteps, but closer to episode 1 than the first half did, and I am really glad for that.

I imagine the winter caravan will find nothing short of tragedy in that obvious trap, but maybe that is what it'll take for Defrott to wake up from his slumber.

Episode 7 is still the highlight of the show so far. Meada becoming a vampire was obvious from ep 1 though and got comfirmed by ep 7, same with the female actress being his fiancé. The anime is not very subtle with those mysteries, but then we get that radical plot twist from Nakajima spreading the supposed to be vaccine, which came out of nowhere and leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Takeuchi had a funny way to stop Suwa and Kurusu's fight. Thank goodness, the recording was a fake and that the child vampire wasn't actually killed. Rufus is a clever one.

That voice message really fooled me there, I didn't expect sneaky manipulative vampire Rufus to be able to have that ability.
