Blood+ Episode 5 – Beyond the dark forest
Not much happen in this episode, basically more story building. No vampire slayings and transformation for Saya, though the sibling relationship has gotten quite tense.
Spoilers:
In this episodes, David requests for Saya’s help and Saya agrees. Kai and Rick demand to help too since this is their father (foster) that has been kidnapped. There’s a chance that the father could turn into one of those vampire like creatures, but he hasn’t yet. But it sounds like a good storyline to go this route. Apparently the U.S. government is secretly doing genetic research in an Enviromental Protection Center Exhibition they dontated to the Japanese government. David tells Saya to come along since vampires may appear. Kai demands once again to come along and help, but David shows him that he is weak and he’d only drag the team down. I really love this quote after Saya coldly refuses Kai’s help repeating the harsh words that David said awhile ago.
Kai: So I’m useless, huh?
Rick: That’s not true. Saya-nechan (older sister) just doesn’t want to put you in any danger.
Kai: I know that! That’s why it hurts.Most of the times, you get characters that misunderstands the person’s reasoning for rejecting you coldly making me hate those characters cause they are literally idiots and they go outta their way to get involved and what ends up happening is now they have to take care of this extra baggage. But I never really realized how powerful and emotional it can be for a character to understand the true intentions behind someone’s actions.
