Honestly, I just dearest everyone on this evidence (except Naenia) and want them all to be a big ol' happy family. Crying or Very sad I particularly adore that Noe's youthful optimism isn't just cynically dismissed as him having never suffered before, merely rather shown to be a response to serious trauma and a need to believe that the world isn't all equally terrible as the worst things he's experienced.

There aren't that many episodes left in the season, but I am starting to wonder how much longer this particular arc can continue. Hopefully the animation budget is being saved for something big. Better yet, two somethings.

Something I really capeesh nigh this serial is that the grapheme relationships/interactions have a manner of paying information technology forward with how each character interacts with someone else after on.

It's happened a bunch earlier, but this calendar week - Vanitas was so influenced by Noe's relentless optimism, particularly in the catacombs, that he takes it out on him when he makes a grand promise to Jeanne that he isn't sure he can keep. Something he never does. Like I don't buy for a second that he's but telling her all that just because he knows it's the only way to go her to motility frontwards. Similar yeah, the guy is withal super secretive with his true emotions and clearly traumatized when it comes to other people. But I think these babe steps are still a far weep from how guarded he was the get-go couple episodes. I as well appreciated Noe straight upwardly telling Jean-Jacques that no one will understand his feelings if he doesn't voice them, since that's something he knows very well at this point.

As far every bit Astolfo is concerned... I'm not really sure how they can wrap his arc up? That'south a lot of deep-seated rage boiling over and I don't recall it can exist stock-still through words within the next episode or 2 depending on how long the arc is.

Side Note: Briefly going back to last calendar week's episode though OH Boy am I concerned for Jeanne as a graphic symbol after her childhood flashback. Perchance it'due south just my fear of going through a Pandora Hearts-level tragedy once more, only I'm going to exist so heartbroken if Jeanne is some kind of clone/vessel for the vampire Queen's "rebirth" or whatever. That scene of her in a drinking glass tube thing, her earliest days being a consummate mystery ("found" past her adoptive parents), Ruthven "rescuing her" past putting her nether his control as an empty tool to be used, the wording of Vanitas' "if it always comes to that, I'll kill you" hope originating from her confessing her fear of "losing herself." Hell even part of Faustina's hair color was giving me bad vibes...

Don't do this to me Vanitas, I'm already concerned enough that Johann is secretly working for Ruthven because he has the aforementioned verbal same colour of gray hair every bit one of those masked dudes at the Marquis Machina Ball.

I think that this is pretty much already set it stone that information technology'll happen. Despite common romantic beloved, Vanitas volition be forced to kill Jeanne, the just thing we don't know is what "killing her" volition really mean. Actually killing her? Taking away her memories? Saving her and living a happy ending together?

I'm non sure where Noe fits in all of this. He's got his own thing going on with Domi, and any kind of feelings towards Vanitas I'1000 pretty much convinced past now that it was only manifestly old BL-baiting, later on seeing where the story is going and so far. But he's supposed to be the deuteragonist so he will take to play a big role in any choice Vanitas makes.

Well, I'll be damned if Jeanne didn't merely snap that boy like a toothpick Laughing I am just living for this sort of scenario correct now. Anime hyper

Where did that arrogant devil from the showtime few episodes get? GONE. He is freaking gone.

I mean
Await at him

Don't get me wrong; I like ALL the sides of Vanitas. I've loved him from the first second he was on screen. But there'southward nothing I dearest more than seeing a character who tries to close off his heart getting those walls shattered into teeny tiny trivial pieces.

Nice ending to this big arc. Not merely information technology closed Chloe but it also made a large impact in the main cast. The one who might exist lacking is Astolfo.

Main theme though: Talk about reversing a character or reveal his hidden depths. Vanitas is becoming the opposite of what he acted in the first cour. This case of bloodsucking didn't feel as sexual as the ones from the first cour either and the guy started sure felt a big bear upon when he saw Jeanne'due south smile if the graphic symbol from the flashback happened to be the original Vanitas. No thought how it will develop though. Withal, that blue mark sure feels like a death flag for Vanitas and a kind of symbolism of his relationship with vampires in full general.

Quite the bloodshot ending to the arc.

Poor Noé. Based on the new visual, I wonder if it volition exist focusing more on how he's managing with only one hand? I wanted to see Vanitas' reaction to information technology but I judge we'll exist seeing that side by side episode [/lawmaking][/url]

Dorsum to acme

Ngl, I was hoping the thumbnail epitome would exist that very random and rather menacing shot of Murr from the finish of the episode haha (I don't quite get why it ended there but it made me laugh - in that location's no way Murr is actually going to be of import, right?!)

Not likewise much to say this week, that was just a actually squeamish episode to wrap up the arc: (even for characters like Astolfo - I worried before that they wouldn't be able to resolve/"save" his character in this short a time frame left given all the trauma he has and yes... I call up the more unfinished road they went with him still clearly needing assistance was the best pick). Nonetheless not sure if this is the best career pick for him merely hey, family legacy I guess lol.

And while it was pretty expected, everything regarding Chloe's realization that all she wanted was for her family to take her rather than work incessantly for generations to "cure her," was so constructive for me. Even more than so that this whole endeavour did originally started from a place of "love" - I think a lot of people can relate to that with family.

Regarding Vanitas' flashbacks with Luna, I love that it brought it back around to a throwaway joke in the season premiere about him ever being common cold. And it seems very purposeful that both Jeanne and Noe take an important role to play when in comes to Vanitas' grapheme arc + him opening upwardly to others given their appearances during that narration.

Side annotation which I think is interesting: I believe No. 71 referred to Luna as "Father" actually in a flashback? I know the Eng dub cast a nonbinary thespian in the role, simply I wasn't sure if it was simply based on wanting a more androgynous voice type (its not like not-binary actors can't play male or female roles either - Louis' VA is non-binary too), or trying capture something specific virtually the character.

Information technology was a toss-up betwixt them. Smile I am currently operating under the suspicion that Murr has heterochromatic optics because someone is looking through the regal one, watching everything Noe and Vanitas practice.

To be on the safe side I'll put this in spoilers just it's not a major thing (I think):

spoiler[Luna says that they accept no gender and are fine with any pronoun. 71 refers to them every bit Male parent and uses male pronouns while Vanitas(MC) refers to them as Luna and uses female pronouns. The implication is that this is what they wanted from Luna; 71 wants a begetter figure while Vanitas wants a female parent figure.]

I've even so to picket the dub so I didn't know Luna's VA is NB. I think that'southward an interesting selection for the grapheme. When I read the manga I imagined Luna had a double voice like an echo.

Something he and Jeanne share! With Jeanne constantly reminding him that he -- affectionately, of class -- needs to kill her if she loses herself, their whole intertwining of love and death is beginning to requite me Tristan und Isolde vibes.

Vanitas' "inspirational" words to Chloe kind of reminded me of the ending to William Goldman's The Princess Bride (the novel, not the movie). "And they lived." The well-nigh any battle-shonen protagonist can do is beat the bad guys and save the day, either physically or metaphysically, just in the end that'southward still just one day (very literally, in this case). Chloe and Jean-Jacques (since they're both alive! Crying or Very sad ) will however accept to bargain with everything before and later they retreated into that little bubble on their own. It may have been a bit cynical, but sometimes that kind of pragmatism is what people need to hear almost in gild to movement forward.

Which is not the same as saying I'm not 100% downward with the full-episode catharsis later a long arc wraps. It's such a drug. Astolpho is still a traumatized wreck, but the villagers are all safe (somehow; I guess this means they weren't illusions), and information technology seems the Paladins also managed to avert casualties. Jean-Jacques even has plenty claret left to endure some classic tsundere slapstick from the queen herself. We're still pretty far on the "optimistic" side of the scale, all things considered, and I am perfectly okay with that.

I don't know exactly what it ways but yeah.... the frame of that sandclock earring certain is scary. As for the rest of the episode it was certain was hilarious to run into Vanitas and Jeanne reacting to their feelings. It well-nigh felt like a shojo serial due to the focus on love and comedy. So once again, the writer might take experience with treatment based on what I was told almost Pandora Hearts. Wonder how Vanitas and Jeanne volition act the next time they run into each other but I guess Domi's current situation will be the focus of the narrative.

The easiest answer would but exist that it'southward a distraction from what he sees as his mission and that he'due south more upset with himself for allowing such a matter to come up betwixt him and his work.

The other piece of the puzzle could exist that Vanitas is scared to care too much for anyone.

I remember both of these could also be true, but imo, my understanding is that Vanitas views himself as an unlovable person and unworthy of amore (for whatever reason) and he copes with that past viewing emotional attachments as a sign of weakness. When they get-go met, Vanitas mocked and antagonized Jeanne for being worried for Luca'southward safety, lamenting how she had "degraded" from the potent and powerful image of her that he had of her from the stories nigh her. Now he'due south in a position where he'due south succumbing to like feelings. He hates the thought of himself loving anyone because he feels that information technology makes him weak, but the simply thing he hates more is the idea of anyone loving him in turn.

This is why Noe says what he says in the mode that he does nigh the end of the episode. Rather than telling Vanitas outright that he likes him, because he knows that Vanitas might very well react negatively to information technology, he decides to take more of a roundabout route to convey his fondness. Judging from his reaction, I recall Vanitas may have understood the intent behind his words.
