Episode 5: Unraveling Nazuna’s History
Following Episode 4’s focus on Kabura’s origin and her transformation by Haru Nanakusa, Episode 5 likely sheds more light on Nazuna’s adjustment to her life as a vampire. The episode is anticipated to reveal important information about Nazuna’s past, potentially clarifying her relationship with Haru and Haru’s current whereabouts. Ko’s observations of Kabura’s vulnerability in previous episodes are expected to evolve his dynamic with Nazuna, possibly compelling Nazuna to confront her own buried past.
Early indications from snippets and summaries suggest the episode explores Kabura’s memories of Haru, even as she reflects that these may not be “true” memories due to time’s effect. The narrative might highlight the complexities of memory and how personal perception shapes one’s past, even with objective facts. Kabura’s account of her relationship with Haru, including Haru’s marriage and pregnancy, plays a significant role in this episode, and the narrative cleverly uses humor to underscore these poignant moments. The episode continues to explore themes of love, memory, and the human (or vampiric) condition.
The Continuing Narrative of Call of the Night
Call of the Night, adapted from Kotoyama’s manga, follows Ko Yamori, a disillusioned teenager who finds solace and adventure in the night after dropping out of school. His encounters with the enigmatic vampire Nazuna Nanakusa introduce him to a new world of nocturnal freedom.
The second season, like its predecessor, continues to be produced by Liden Films, with Tomoyuki Itamura directing, Michiko Yokote on scripts, Haruka Sagawa on character designs, and Yoshiaki Dewa composing the music. Maaya Uchida joins the cast as Haru Nanakusa, a nurse who is central to Nazuna’s past. Rina Satō also joins as Kiku Hoshimi, a character who impacts Ko’s friend Mahiru.
