The first season of The Vampire Dies in No Time, which is scheduled to air its second season from January 2023, was a high-tempo, content-rich anime that was well-received. There is no doubt that the second season will be a very promising work. I would like to look back on the episodes of the first season of The Vampire Dies in No Time! This time, it is a summary of episodes 7 to 12.
Episode 7: Y-talk, Da-dan-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
One day, the manager of a convenience store came to the office in a hurry, and for some reason he began to reveal his sexual preferences. This was because he could only talk dirty under the hypnosis of the vampire Y-talk uncle. Hearing a child's scream, Ronald and Hinaichi are hypnotized by the Y-talking uncle, Ronald reveals his sexual fetish for big breasts, and Hinaichi has no vocabulary for dirty talk and can only say "penis". The damage spreads to the whole city. The main reason why Hinaichi became a joke character is that she becomes a penis woman and develops aftereffects. The voice actor is Kazuhiko Inoue... even though she is such a character.
Episode 7②
Handa Momo of the Vampire Countermeasures Division is Ronald's stalker and is a crazy guy with a super mother complex. One day, Handa's beloved mother, Handa Akemi (who is a vampire and therefore a beautiful mother), is awarded a day on a date with Ronald as part of a prize draw sponsored by Autumn Bookstore, and he goes crazy! Together with Draluc, who has somehow followed him, he stalks Ronald and the others, and runs around trying to make Ronald look embarrassed. Although Handa hates Ronald with all his heart, he is a big fan of Ronald, a stalker, and a mama's boy, so no matter how you handle him, it's just hilarious.
Episode 7③
Draluc's overprotective father, Draus, comes to the office and interrupts Ronald while checking on his son. Draus himself was killed by kids in a nearby park and turned into a mud ball. Draus, who has been impatient with Draus not coming back for a long time, goes to look for him himself... Even the supporting characters in this anime are well-defined.
Episode 8 Kidnapping Capriccio
Draluc, who can't transform properly, rarely succeeds in his transformation ability and turns into a bat. When he gets carried away and goes out to town, he is attacked by pigeons and rescued by Hinaichi. He takes a liking to Hinaichi and is taken to the Vampire Countermeasures Division, but if Hinaichi finds out, it will be clearly a dangerous situation. So he asks for help from Handa Momo, who he knows, and the two of them try to cover it up somehow. Handa is a capable and reliable guy as long as he doesn't get involved with Ronald and Handa's mother.
Episode 8②
A child is kidnapped in Shin-Yokohama! Furthermore, due to a misunderstanding, it is known that John, who was out, has also been kidnapped, causing a big commotion in the city. John tries to somehow return home safely, but he has to go down the river in a cardboard box, get chased by an ostrich, and miss a transfer, making it difficult to get home. John somehow manages to return to Shin-Yokohama, but is captured by the A-class vampire Tsujisagiri Nagiri. Tsujisagiri Nagiri's second ordeal, still sane.
Episode 8③
John was captured by Nagiri, but the search for John caused a big commotion in Shin-Yokohama, with the task force and hunters mobilized. At first, Nagiri thought he would use John to get revenge on the hunters, but now that things have turned out like this, he can't act properly either. Nagiri is the decent guy in Shin-Yokohama, but can he survive in a place where decent people can't survive?
Episode 9: Citizen Baseball Kane
A vampire named Yakyuken Lover appears, who loves to force hunters to play Yakyuken and strip them naked using barrier magic and hypnosis. He's a playful vampire, but his hypnosis and barrier magic are so powerful that he forces the hunters to play Yakyuken one after another and strips them naked. Just when it seems they're all about to be wiped out, the evil hand of Yakyuken finally hits the hunter Maria! He's a perverted vampire who was thought up in 10 seconds, but as always, the ability itself is powerful for someone like him.
Episode 9②
Vampire exterminator Satetsu was worried that he was plain and unglamorous compared to other exterminators and vampires. His work was polite and common sense, but everything he did was plain. Meanwhile, a new vampire appears. This vampire violated vampire etiquette by causing a plain nuisance with his pathetic pranks. Can a common sense person, even an exterminator, survive in this town?
Episode 9③
A new vampire has appeared at the beach. The beach is overflowing with people who have become obsessed with micro bikinis due to the vampire's hypnosis. It was the work of the vampire micro bikini, who uses hypnosis to turn people into micro bikinis. Due to the large number of people, the exterminators are turned into micro bikinis one after another. It's a stupid fetish, but it's a large-scale hypnosis. This is the city where Hajikerists are the strongest.
Episode 10: Heisei's Troublesome Vampire Battle Shinyoko
The exterminator and Hinaichi of the countermeasures department patrol the festival held in Shin-Yokohama, where various vampires, including the oddball pervert vampire that has appeared so far, have gathered and set up stalls. There were no vampires that would ruin the festival, but Hinaichi feels something ominous about the large number of vampires. In the end, what was the final horror development?
Episode 10②
Yomotsuzaka from the Vampire Research Center calls Ronald and his friends and asks them to catch a dangerous vampire that he let escape. The vampire is a vampire with an obscene shape resembling a scrotum, and it makes the person it parasitizes very popular. The title is a parody of the Tanuki Gassen Pompoko, but it was actually a dick.
Episode 10③
Draluc starts doing something like a radio show, calling it All Night Shinyokot. After leaving the office and coming to the Adult Guild, Draluc puts the spotlight on exterminators who usually don't get the spotlight. This episode focuses on exterminators who are strong characters and often appear. In the anime, the exterminators appear quite often and have a strong presence.
Episode 11 Shinyoko Battle Royale
Y-dan Uncle and Yakyuken Lover team up to create an incredible barrier around the entire city of Shinyokohama. In that barrier, only Y-dan can exert power. In the end of the century Shinyokohama, the exterminators fight while eroding their own dignity. Ronald was useless due to his lack of vocabulary, but an unexpected helper appears for him. They're doing something flashy and outrageous, like creating a barrier around the entire city of Shinyokohama.
Episode 11②
The story of how Draluc and John met. In Draluc's hometown, Transylvania, the True Ancestor protects a small armadillo that is injured. Everyone named the armadillo by themselves, but in the end they all combined and shortened the name and named him John. John's injury healed, and Draluc was going to make him his kin, but one day he saw John save a group of armadillos from danger and thought it would be better for him to live with his friends.
Episode 11③
Draluc chose to return John to his pack. However, John set out on a journey relying on only a few clues. And after a long adventure, he reunited with Draluc. There was a definite bond between John and Draluc. And then, Draluc, who had been using John like a bowling ball, was punched by Ronald, who shouldn't treat him like a ball any more, and that was the punchline.
Episode 12: The Five Idiots
A beautiful woman with big breasts has come to Shin-Yokohama! However, that beautiful woman is Aranea, a vampire with a danger level of A! Aranea targets Ronald, whom she meets by chance, in an attempt to trick the exterminator and suck his blood. Ronald, who was fooled by her breasts, will be the victim...or so you might think, but Ronald, knowing everything, lures Aranea out and leads her to the point where the countermeasures department and the exterminator are waiting. Aranea was a beautiful, busty, orthodox and dangerous vampire, but the elite of Shin-Yokohama were extremely strong against normal people, so she was easily defeated. In this city, normal people disappear first.
Episode 12②
One day, Draluc says they want to have Halloween. Many exterminators, exterminators, and vampires gather on Halloween and start partying. Meanwhile, the real Draluc and Draus come into the office and say that the Draluc there is fake. I wonder if they want to finish the episodes in which the True Ancestor appears in the first season as much as possible?
Episode 12③
Draluk's favorite game console is broken! Draluk can no longer play games, and Ronald can no longer watch Netflix! The two of them need a game console as soon as possible, but they argue over who will pay for it, and end up competing in a total of five games. I wondered why this episode was the final episode, but it turns out they forced it into the opening dance.
【The Vampire Dies in No Time 2】Review of Season 1, Summary of the Second Half
I've summarized the contents of episodes 7 to 12 of season 1 of The Vampire Dies in No Time! It's a high-tempo comedy anime, but it's easy to relate to and funny. I think this is a work that is suitable for anime, so I hope they make a third and fourth season instead of a second! But first, I'm looking forward to the second season, which will start airing in January 2023!
