Owari no Seraph: Nagoya Kessen-hen Episode 1

*Warning Spoilers Below*

Now we get to the good good. Near the end of last season, we learned that the experimentation the humans were working on was called the show's title: Seraph of the End (Owari no Seraph). I just remembered, the vampire queen (Krul) hardly served a role outside of being the explanation for Mika's survival. I hope she'll do more in this season. Off the bat, Ichinose admits to killing Shinoa's sister Mahiru, who now holds her existence in Ichinose's sword as a demon. 

Yu, now out of his comatose state, remembers nothing from losing control of himself. One thing that's made very clear is that Shinoa has fallen in love with him. I don't know, her teasing nature is quite annoying in my opinion. An announcement is called requesting the presence of Yu in the middle of his conversation with Shinoa. Before he gets there, Ichinose Guren intercepts and reminds him that he is his savior and should be prioritized over any of the Hiragi family's orders. 

He also runs into Sangu whom informs him she just had an interview concerning the incident and of her promotion. Upon entering the main office to be interviewed, Yu finds himself in a test to see if he's a spy for the vampires. Kureto, the Lieutenant General of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army, takes it a step further showing Yu an interrogation room filled with his teammates. Through his research and questioning, Kureto pieces together that since Yu's name is Hyakuya, he was involved in magic experimentation through his orphanage. 

He also aligns this with Ichinose's character, getting a feel to why he saved Yu. Afterwards he suggests that Yu works for him, exactly as Ichinose feared. As soon as Yu leaves with an extremely injured Yoichi and Shiho, he finds Guren and Shinoa waiting for him. Guren admits to saving him for the express purpose of experimenting. In response, Yu says he is fine with that, and will do anything to save Mika. Guren also goes on to say that they are his family and they will save Mika. 

Yeah right. I'll believe it when I see it. The episode ends with a scene of Mika refusing to drink an abducted child's blood as requested by Ferid, and remarking how painful it is.

So the problem now is that even though Yu knows he was/is being experimented on, he doesn't know the results of it and still doesn't know about the monster he became. A sort of hole here is that his weapon, Asuramaru, can communicate with him right? So he can just tell him what happened right? I mean he did warn him when they first made contact; I'm going to assume the scene of him seeing angels and the heavenly light with Asuramaru is included in his amnesia.
There's lot of story left to unfold and I am hooked.

Thanks for reading!
