Blade (ブレイド)

My name is Eric Brooks.

I'm a vampire hunter.

Yeah... they're what goes bump in the night.

Half of me is human... the other half is one of them.

As luck would have it, that means I can go out in the sun, with the power of the Daywalker.

I hunted them down and cut them apart.

It wasn't long before they feared me, and started calling me...

"Blade."

1x01 - Blade, the Man

Yokohama

A red moon...

I hear my mother died on a night like this.

London

When I go out hunting, I remember something the man who raised me said.

"Be careful, because when you gaze into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

Hey, baby, wait—!

Wait up—!

Where are you, pussycat—?

Don't hide, come on out...

Found you.

What the hell are you!?

You gotta help me! This chick... she turned into a monster!

Remain calm, sir.

Everything's under control.

You hear a lot of trash about crosses and garlic hurting them...

But, that's pure mythology.

I prefer silver-edged blades...

To cut them to pieces.

You're Blade!

Hey, man.

Watch yourself at night.

Now, you...

What do you want!?

Your kind uses that club to feed, right?

What's that sign above the entrance mean?

I dunno!

Answer me...

That's our organization, Existence's, symbol!

Existence—?

What's that supposed to be?

Well...

We're trying to become the power players in Asia...

You know about a vampire with four fangs?

No! Never heard of him!

It's the truth!

Damn, he scared me...

He'll pay for this once the boss gets here...

Your boss is in town, huh?

I better pay him a visit.

We've been waiting for you, sir.

Welcome to Feed.

Makoto, are you ready?

Okay.

I'm heading in.

Alright. We'll meet up later.

Be careful.

Got it.

Welcome to Feed, miss.

I'm the owner, Radu.

Good evening.

Good evening, Radu.

This is a great place you have.

Thank you so much.

Having a vision of beauty like yourself appreciate it is the finest compliment I can imagine.

Oh, you flatterer.

Why don't we share a drink, and get to know each other better?

I'd love to.

May I ask your name?

It's Makoto.

Makoto... it sounds lovely.

Thank you.

Huh?
