Requested by @yellowbluemoonshine, I translated the extra page from Vol. 9. I apologize beforehand, because my first language is not English. Sorry if it's not grammatically correct here and there. Scan is mine. Translation: Rinaldo: Wait, Roland! Where are you going in your state?

Roland: To search for Mikhail, of course!

Roland: He disappeared in an instant...if something happened to him...!

Rinaldo: Probably he doesn't wanted to be here (in the church). You also said that "he doesn't fit to be a Chasseur".

Roland: That's right, but Rinaldo---

Rinaldo: Those scars...I heard you got those while protecting Olivier.

Rinaldo: Olivier wanted to leave the church if you didn't wake up.

Rinaldo: You should take responsibility for your scars, before protecting someone.

Rinaldo: Understood?

Rinaldo: Forget that child.

About chapter 56

Hey, guys!

According to Mochijun's twitter post, this month, we will got a special short chapter (her assistant forget to put the information last month to the last page), but next month she will work on Vol. 10, so no chapter. BUT, I wonder what is that Vol. 10 (with special edition) listed for April on JP Amazon, if she's not ready with that...April joke?

[serenato2]

It is just so CRAZY! What I was expecting after the dvd box illustration way back then, became reality!! It IS COMING!

EH

[serenato2]

Guys!!!

I was just scrolling randomly on amazon japan, then IT appeared! Vol. 10 special cover edition listed!!! Release: April 21

OST spoiler alert

I've just listened the previews and I don't recommend listening the last 4 song if you don't want to be spoiled. They are gorgeous by the way. Those who are okay with that: if you want to save her -> I already can see their fight with this up-tempo bad ass song!!

About chapter 55.5 (After the rain)

Guys, it was a feast....a FEAST, OKAY!? Now, it is confirmed that Vanitas saw himself in Jeanne. She's also someone who doesn't want to lose herself and be killed by someone before that...Don't misunderstand me, I love all ships, Vanitas x Jeanne and the chemistry of Vanoe and we get ALL of them in general. But this chapter is as I said, a FEAST!!! I think everyone got what he/she wanted. I don't know how to go from here and what was that panel with Astolfo and Olivier...extra chapter for vol. 10, maybe? I really hope they close the anime with this chapter. It all makes more sense. Now, here's the question: - we still don't know why Vanitas can't forgive to Luna - we all know Mochijun's cliffhangers and plot twists, so I don't think Noe will kill Vanitas as he wants, or why should he regret it? There's something more...maybe he could be saved but Noe realize it later? All is left is my tears...

[serenato2]

OMG

I’ve just saw the preview for chapter 55 part 2 on twitter and….if I was the director for the anime, I think this would be a good ending for ep 24…

Recommended BGM: Sawano Hiroyuki - AoTs3-PF1

Ep 18 reaction

Okay, I was surprised about the pacing, I didn't expect Astolfo's past to be explained this deep. I don't like him, but I understand that he's necessary to show how could Vanitas ended up, if he make a different choice in the past. BUT! I feel sorry for him because no matter how Bones nailed the fight scene, his face was meh all the time, so I pray for the Blu-ray version to be fixed. I understand budget is gone somewhere, but hey, from the second cour, quality is not maintained compared to the first half. This is just my opinion. I'm hyped for 86 now, but there are problems there too for the last 6(?) episode. Things I liked in this ep: - They included the scene with Luna, yesssss - Fight scene? not bad - I really love Jean-Jacques' personality and his expression - The scene in the beginning with Vanitas and Jeanne is purrfect, even the new OST (sorry if it was used before) - Yes, this is how you should wake up an injured man, Vanitas! The hiss in his voice in that scene...I love it! Meh: - Sorry, I'm tired of this BGM loop with the Alternation Device, I think it is my fault, because I was expecting a piano/organ melody like Lacie (Pandora Hearts), so I was waiting for some Vanitas piano medley in the spotlight - I hoped they would show Dante and Vanitas' first meeting, but no, shame - Olivier's funny? face is not my type, sorry again

Vanitas' hands

After checking @lonery-w's comparison, I realized that I wanted to write about this when they aired episode 6. If it was mentioned before, sorry. When Vanitas returns vampire's name or destroys them (like the girl in the ball) he always uses his right hand to hold the book. But as long as I remember, when he rewrites the world formula (or when he protected Noé from Naenia), he always uses his left hand. I gave up on this theory when I watched ep. 6, but now that they went out to change it to match the manga, I feel like they confirmed that it has a meaning. What do you think?

[serenato2]

After ep 16

What I was expecting from 2nd cour: some bad ass knife skill party with wolves from Vanitas What we get from 2nd cour: knife skill party with Noe (maybe) P.S.: I will forgive them if they do it on purpose to hide the fact that Vanitas is actually better at fighting... Btw: in ep 16, I really loved the BGM for Jean-Jacques' past and the change in the BGM when Jeanne started crying after seeing Chloé! Also, since they cut a huge content from the manga, I didn't expect to see the funny scene with Chloé and Vanitas, and they included it! I was so surprised that my parents came to check what happened with me...lol

[serenato2]

Wow man, they want to animate chapter 33-37 in one episode! If they not planning to show Misha arc, I will be mad! (As if they changed the original plan and now they tease us, where will the anime end)

[serenato2]

About OST titles (including jokes, sorry)

Just some theories about how 2nd cour will end, in my opinion, looking at the track titles. Not spoiler free, so anime-only fans be warned! (Also, track numbers are not correct) Disc 1

the legend of the blue eyes -> Theme of VOTBM (ep 1 and ep 10 first scene)

a snake in the grass -> I honestly don't know why, but I thought this would be perfect for the Teacher, after the last chapter

a young noble -> Luka theme, perhaps

the crimson gauntlet -> oh, the track that was used only once in ep 2 :D

he met her and she met him -> Okay, Vanitas met Jeanne, and what?

Is this love? -> nope, it is not, at this stage (joking)

let’s go on a date! -> already?

she sings -> Naenia sings, perhaps

look, here comes the parade -> Naenia brings her friends to the party

she is a noble lady, my childhood friend -> Dominique, of course, childhood friend? Only? Lets see...

a fang of the Queen -> Victoria joins the party

a nobleman and his darkness -> Ruthven joins the party

what my master said -> I don't care what your master or teacher said Noe, he IS creepy, okay? why you bring up his name for the track where Vanitas sleeps on your back??

now our story begins -> bell tower, and your future regrets, yes

Disc 2

I am Vanitas -> you should introduce yourself before Disc 2, man

and who are you? -> Vanitas, you know everything, I don't have to introduce myself, ok?

there were calm days -> maybe, but I don't remember after chapter 55

le chasseur -> from the first PV until now, I thought it was Vanitas theme song, Roland you thief, you stole the spotlight

romantic battle -> with who?

a young hunter -> Astolfo theme song

she is our Queen -> VOTRM

the alteration device -> Vanitas playing on the organs?

the sunlight and your solitude -> I wonder if it's Chloé and Jean-Jacques, or Jeanne and Chloé or Vanitas and Jeanne

a faithful man -> Jean-Jacques or Dante? :D

we still can go together -> Chloé and Jean-Jacques or the balcony scene with Noe and Vanitas? hmm

if the time comes I’ll kill you -> Jeanne kiss

why did you kill our father? -> Mikhail appears

we can’t choose how we live -> Mikhail and Vanitas in the lab

if you want to save her -> saving Dominique from Mikhail

the gears of destiny -> some original ending without fighting with Vanitas? I hope no

[serenato2]

I’ve just realized…

Ep 14 title: the witch and the young man

It is perfect!!! I didn’t realize that it refers to Jeanne and Vanitas as well. I always thought just about Chloe and Jean-Jaques but now that these two chapter will be one episode…

[serenato2]

My first impression for the new OP (the very first cut, honestly): Please someone give a cigarette to Noe. You know, he’s holding his hand in that way but since he still 19…

[serenato2]

Guys,

They changed the ending scene for episode 19 on streaming platforms! It is quiet spoilerish for non-LN readers…but it’s so much better than the first version! Check it out! Edit: Looks like only JP streaming platform changed this ending. But you can find it on twitter: https://twitter.com/qann30/status/1471036877830381569?s=20

2nd cour special announcement

The first 10 min was a reflection on 1st cour, the last 10 was the introduction of goods like nendroid etc. And between them there was 3 new information about the 2nd cour: 1. New key visual for the 2nd cour (on the homepage already) 2. Jean-Jaques voice actor: Hamano Daiki (Cloe was announced as well, but they already credited her, so...) 3. Original Soundtrack release: 2022.02.23 (2 disc, including the songs from the 2nd cour as well, cover is beautiful but was too small in the screen, Mochizuki-sensei draw it) Plus information: - An after event will be held on 2022.06.05 by the main cast (Vanitas, Noe, Domi, Jeanne, Luka, Roland, Olivier, Astolfo) and there will be a ticket lottery sheet? bundled with Vol. 5. - They don't know how far will the anime go, BUT they also mentioned that Domi will appear as well and there will be Vani past scenes as well...so...I don't want to spoil but my theory could be right and they will end it with you know...:D - Dante is going to be the curing factor in 2nd cour, according to the director, since there will be many fighting and serious scene (laughing) Maybe I will edit this later...

[serenato2]

Reminder guys!

There will be a special announcement tomorrow about the 2nd cour! Starting from 8 PM (japan time), you can watch it here (maybe vpn neccessary):
