The Case Study of Vanitas

" I'll do as I please, use methods I choose, and, no matter what you people want... I will save you without fail! " — Vanitas

Stories tell of a mysterious clockwork grimoire called The Book of Vanitas which, once opened, is said to place a curse upon the reader that is worse than death itself. Drawn to Paris on rumors of the book's existence, Noé, a vampire, boards the airship La Baleine to confirm it for himself. There, he's suddenly attacked by a fellow vampire who loses control of herself after her true name , the foundation of a vampire's self, is corrupted.

In steps the enigmatic, self-professed "vampire doctor" Vanitas wielding his namesake tome , which he uses not to curse but to cure. Claiming he inherited the book as well as his name from the original Vanitas , a vengeful vampire born under the ill-fated blue moon, he cheerfully recruits Noé to work with him in eradicating the malady that's robbing vampires of their true names — and their sanity .

The Case Study of Vanitas ( Vanitas no Carte , or The Memoirs of Vanitas ) is an ongoing 2015 Steampunk fantasy manga by Jun Mochizuki of PandoraHearts fame. It runs in Square Enix's monthly Gangan Joker magazine and is simulpublished in English by Yen Press . An anime adaptation by Studio Bones began airing in July 2021.

Contains examples of:

• Adaptation Distillation : The anime adaptation maintains the basic story, but excludes explanations of world building, several action sequences, dialogues, some foreshadowing and minor characters.
• Adaptation Explanation Extrication : In the beginning of the Bal Masque arc in the manga, Dominique has her two attendants chain Vanitas to a giant wooden wheel so she can interrogate him about what he really wants with Noe and his Archiviste powers. For some reason, the anime adaptation cuts out her attendants, showing Vanitas still being chained to the wheel, but it creates some confusion as to how a girl of Dominique's stature and size could possibly be capable of putting him, a grown man, on there without help. It also creates some confusion as to why Vanitas would even let Dominique chain him to a giant wheel, since he doesn't seem like the type of person who would just let some girl do that to him. Possibly subverted: Dominique as a vampire is physically stronger than the average human so it could be feasible she can overpower Vanitas by herself, though that’s still debatable.
• Alternate History : The series takes place in a world where the 16th century's alchemist Paracelsus altered the World Formula with the Tower of Babel and created those that are known as vampires. The manga starts around 300 years after the incident, in a version of 1889 Paris where the Tower of the Sun was built instead of the Eiffel Tower.
• Ancient Tomb : The Catacombs of Paris appear as the setting of the third arc, as well as the secret lair of the Chasseurs.
• The anime's first opening sequence, played over the upbeat song "Sora to Utsuro," features the two protagonists, Noé and Vanitas, going on a tour around Paris where they visit the many attractions in the city and Vanitas plays babysitter for an excited Noé. This makes the anime look like a happy-go-lucky Bromantic Comedy set in a mundane France. The series is actually a vampire story taking place in a Steampunk version of 1889 Paris, containing plenty of drama, action, horror, and tragedy that wouldn't be expected from that carefree opening.
• The second opening sequence also shows nothing but Vanitas and Noé walking around Paris, but this time separately until they find each other. Most of the second half of the anime doesn't even take place in Paris.
• Bathos : Moments of drama and angst are frequently juxtaposed with slapstick, snarky banter or chibi antics.
• The Beautiful Elite : As typical of a Jun Mochizuki work, a lot of the characters in Vanitas are gorgeous beyond compare.
• Bookcase Passage : In Mémoire 6, Dominique and Noé go to a shop where they go through a hidden passage behind a bookcase that leads them to Altus Paris, the Pocket Dimension of Paris where vampires live.
• Breather Episode : Episode 7, which adapts Mémoire 12 from the manga, is a much-needed break from all the action and angst from the episodes so far. It focuses on the main characters just eating and dancing together at a restaurant to have a good time for once. As well as a good delivery of Ship Tease for all the potential couples, both the opposite-sex and same-sex ones.
• Bridal Carry : In Mémoire 53, Jeanne carries Dominique bridal-style after saving her from her own suicide attempt . Funny as Jeanne had fantasized about a similar scenario with Vanitas a few chapters back.
• Buddy Picture : Vanitas and Noé's relationship is consistently central in the story. The first chapter has Noé himself state that the plot is about his journey with Vanitas, which will end with the latter's death at his hands .
• Cast Full of Pretty Boys : Most of the male characters are either very handsome or incredibly pretty. An omake makes a joke about it by showing several of the guys working at a Host Club .
• In the first chapter, Vanitas falls off of a Cool Airship and Noé jumps right after him to catch his leg. Somehow, both survive the landing without a parachute.
• At the start of Mémoire 53, Jeanne saves a suicidal Dominique who had jumped off a Ferris wheel, catching her in the air before she hits the ground.
• Childhood Friend Romance : Noé's childhood friend Dominique has been in love with him since they were children, but the death of her brother Louis makes it hard for Dominique to progress her feelings for Noé. Meanwhile, Noé's exact feelings for Dominique are unknown aside from being very close with her and wanting to protect her to not lose another loved one after what happened to Louis.
• Children Do the Housework : Two orphaned human boys got adopted by the vampire known as Vanitas, later renamed Luna. To the concern of the boys, Luna sucked at cooking and cleaning. The older boy happened to be very good at both things, so Luna left those responsibilities to him.
• Church Militant : The church is the main human organization in charge of hunting and killing vampires. The Chasseurs are soldiers of the church who have been trained to fight vampires with weapons, aided by a Super Serum to match a vampire's strength.
• Noe is purple, representing his curiosity, nobility of spirit, and the mystery surrounding his past.
• Vanitas is dark blue, representing his confidence, melancholy and strong integrity.
• Dominique is red, symbolizing passion, aggression, and a desire for love.
• Jeanne is yellow and pink, symbolizing idealism, love, joy, and jealousy.
• Luca is green, symbolizing youth, jealousy, generosity and vigor.
• Compressed Adaptation : The anime's first half was fairly faithful to the manga, only cutting some minor scenes for faster pacing. However, the second half was significantly condensed in order to adapt the Gévaudan arc's three and a half manga volumes and the amusement park arc's two and a half manga volumes into a 12-Episode Anime . As a result, it eliminated a chunk of Chloé's backstory as well as the scenes related to the vampire senate and the extremist faction of the church that set up future arcs.
• Cool Airship : Noé and Vanitas first meet at La Baleine, a giant airship designed to look like a flying Gothic palace.
• Corrupt Church : The Catholic Church carried out a big massacre in Gévaudan, killing hundreds of women and children, under the delusion of exterminating vampires hiding among humans. They then used the "Beast" and curse-bearers as a cover story.
• In the belltower scene of Mémoire 11/Episode 6. Noé chooses to join Vanitas' journey by his own will and he makes a vow to stay together with Vanitas to the end as the sun rises to symbolize the start of their companionship. Sadly, Noé's narration from the future immediately reminds the audience that his relationship with Vanitas will end in tragedy.
• In Mémoire 55/Episode 24. In the aftermath of their big fight at the amusement park, Vanitas and Noé reconcile and reaffirm their bond to each other. The arc ends with Vanitas looking out at the sun rising through the clouds as he takes Noé's hand and goes to eat breakfast with him.
• Dance of Romance : Mémoire 12/Episode 7 has one big Ship Tease moment for those who are into the potential same-sex couples as NoéxVanitas and DominiquexJeanne dance a waltz while surrounded by Love Bubbles and Bishie Sparkle . Dominique takes Jeanne to dance with her (to tease Noé as she thinks he likes Jeanne) and both enjoy it so much that they immediately become good friends. While the girls dance, Noé asks Vanitas to dance with him, using that he wants to teach him as an excuse. Noé takes the chance to ask Vanitas what love is, but both are just left wondering as neither know the answer.
• Dark and Troubled Past : Noé who is the last remaining survivor of his clan and was a slave on the black market before Dominique's family bought him; Vanitas whose parents were murdered by vampires and became an experimental subject.
• Date Peepers : Domi spies on the date she set up between Jeanne and Vanitas, disguised as a man . Dante ends up stumbling across her and then tagging along for the rest of the date.
• Daywalking Vampire : None of the vampires in the setting have any problem with sunlight.
• Dysfunction Junction : As it's to be expected from a manga made by Jun Mochizuki, almost all the characters have a terribly traumatic backstory, are mentally unstable, or both.
• Everyone Is Bi : Although none of the main characters' sexualities have been explicitly confirmed, everyone in the main cast gets Ship Tease with people of both genders. Vanitas enjoys making unwanted sexual advances at Jeanne and lets her drink his blood several times. Meanwhile, Vanitas is all but stated to feel curious about how would it feel like to let Noé bite him and drink his blood too (even thinking about Noé biting Dominique when pressing Jeanne into doing it with him). Noé repeatedly drinks blood from Dominique and likes it, but he also drools at the mere thought of having a taste of Vanitas's blood. Dominique has an obvious crush on Noé since childhood, not that it stops her from flirting with women for fun and later forming a very affectionate friendship with Jeanne who often blushes at Dominique.
• Fantasy Metals : In this world, almost all machines are powered by Astermite, a mineral with miraculous properties that doesn't produce smoke that pollutes the air and has made it possible to build giant airships.
• Ferris Wheel of Doom : In the amusement park arc, because of Mikhail's Book of Vanitas going out of control, a Ferris wheel collapses and almost crushes Vanitas and Noé. They're saved by Dominique who creates an ice barrier to protect them.
• First-Episode Twist : The start of the first chapter/episode introduces Noé, a young man traveling to Paris in order to search for a legendary grimoire named the Book of Vanitas. While boarding an airship, Noé meets a sickly woman who is seemingly attacked by a suspicious man. Noé reveals himself to be a vampire and fights the man to protect the woman only for the woman to bite Noé as she's actually a curse-bearer, a vampire who went mad after having their true name stolen. Vanitas, the man who Noé fought, then reveals he's the possessor of the Book of Vanitas and uses its power to restore the curse-bearer's sanity.
• Flames of Love : In Mémoire 27, Vanitas and Jeanne take shelter from the snow at an abandoned cabin. After Jeanne orders to undress themselves to warm their bodies up together, they cuddle in front of a fireplace. The icing on the cake is Jeanne giving water to Vanitas mouth-to-mouth as the flames burn behind them.
• Flowers of Romance : In Mémoire 42, Jeanne has a passionate moment with Vanitas in a field of astérisque flowers, where she pins him down to drink his blood and kiss him on the cheek.
• Foregone Conclusion : The first manga chapter and anime episode close on some narration from a future version of Noé, who muses on the journey he went on alongside the titular Vanitas and reveals how the story will end: with Vanitas dying by his hand .
• If you look carefully, Vanitas never touches his book barehanded... or anyone for the matter. The one time he touches a vampire with his bare hand, her strength vanishes and she becomes unable to even stand.
• One of the covers shows the arms of Vanitas and Noé wrapped by chains... At the same emplacement as Vanita's scars. The Book of Vanitas has a silver chain, and he never touches it bare-handed. Do the math.
• In the first chapter/episode, as Noé narrates the fairy tale of the Vampire of the Blue Moon, the audience can see the Book of Vanitas... and the silhouette of another book behind it. There are, in fact, two books. When Vanitas' younger brother Misha introduces himself to Noé, he reveals he also has his own Book of Vanitas.
• Formulaic Magic : The World Formula, a mathematical equation originally written by Paracelsus in the 16th Century, is reality, and any changes to the formula also changes reality. It's believed that vampires resulted from the formula for humans being changed, and Astermite resulted from the formula for coal being changed. Vampires are able to see the World Formula and change it on the fly, giving them magical powers like Playing with Fire and so on. In turn, Chasseurs have developed technology to blind a vampire's ability to see the Formula, thus disorientating and weakening them.
• French Accordion : The setting is France (mostly in Paris) and fittingly, Yuki Kajiura used a lot of accordion for the anime's soundtrack.
• Gaslamp Fantasy : Though it has very strong Steampunk influences, the series's inclusion of magic, the supernatural, and many Gothic Horror tropes sets it as one of these as well.
• Gothic Horror : Like PandoraHearts , Vanitas has big elements of the gothic genre such as vampires, the late 19th century European setting, old castles, symbolism, and physical as well as psychological torture.
• Gratuitous French : The series is Japanese, but the characters occasionally speak French words to remind the audience that the work's setting is France. For example, the word vampire is spelled in French, the Vampire Hunters are called Chasseur, and vampire executioners are called Bourreau. The first scene of the first anime episode has news titles in correct, understandable French, but if you squint, you can read the text below... Which is some text about an archeological finding made in 1901, and rediscovered in 2021, obviously google-translated from the English.
• Great Offscreen War : Between the 16th and 17th centuries, humans and vampires were in a great war as both races tried to exterminate each other. By the time of the late 19th century in which the story takes place, humans and vampires have long stopped having anything to do with each other. Although, there's danger that another war might break out if Curse-Bearers continue attacking humans.
• Half-Breed Discrimination : Dhampirs are heavily discriminated against by humans and vampires. Their hybrid heritage causes them to be abandoned by their parents and hunted by vampires and/or the church, unless they're under the protection of a high-ranking vampire like Marquis Machina.
• Half-Identical Twins : Louis and Dominique de Sade are actually fraternal twins and they look very alike, especially after Dominique started dressing like a boy to cope with Louis' death.
• Hemo Erotic : Having one's blood drunk by a vampire is noted to be pleasurable for many, and in fact many Vampires will drink each other's blood as an act of affection between friends and loved ones, as demonstrated by Noé and Dominique. It's explained that this reaction is because there's a biologic response that anesthetizes the bitten individual through a substance that is apparently similar to... an aphrodisiac . However, the degree which this is pleasurable runs on a sliding scale, with some just becoming numb or drowsy, and not feeling any pleasure at all. The individuals involved also seem to matter, possibly on a biological level, as Vanitas comments that he feels particularly euphoric when being fed upon by Jeanne compared to other times he's been bitten. Also, apparently, drinking someone's blood without consent is considered a crime .
• High School AU : The omake of Volume 7 is about an AU where the characters are high school students and teachers. The premise is Vanitas infiltrating the academy while Disguised in Drag and gets found out by Jeanne who also is disguised as a man to be Luca's bodyguard. The omake later got an Audio Adaptation with a couple of Drama CD for the anime's Blu-ray release.
• I Know Your True Name : A vampire's true name is linked to their destiny and is as important as life itself.
• "Le Formidable!" for Vanitas and Noé, sung by Natsuki Hanae and Kaito Ishikawa .
• "Blooming in the Sun～mon trésor～" for Jeanne and Luca, sung by Inori Minase and Shino Shimoji .
• "Nameless Road" for Roland and Olivier, sung by Kengo Kawanishi and Tomoaki Maeno .
• "Snow Flower" for Chloé and Jean-Jacques, sung by Rie Kugimiya and Daiki Hamano .
• Louis begged his beloved friend Noé, to kill him when he was going out of control, fearing that he would kill Noé if he wasn't terminated. Noé's inability to fulfill Louis's last wish continues to haunt Noé to this day, and is in fact part of what drew him to Vanitas since Vanitas 's abilities represented a hope that Louis could have been saved.
• When Chloé was in despair over how miserable her existence was, outliving generation after generation of her human family and being hated by the townspeople she had been brought up to love, she desired to be killed by Jeanne who she loved like a little sister. Jeanne was actually directed to do so, but was unable to carry it out.
• Kiss of the Vampire : In basically all blood drinking scenes they are moaning and blushing and some of the scenes even look like they were doing something else .
• Layered World : One of the effects of the Babel Incident was the creation of secluded dimensions, named "Altus," that are connected to the original world, but are only accessible to vampires and humans who cross the border while touching a vampire. After the war, most vampires are living at Altus, although there's still some vampires who live at the original world along with humans.
• Legacy Character : The current Vanitas claims he's the inheritor of the original, though he's only an average human rather than a vampire.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy : Jeanne and Vanitas are turned into this in the High School AU where both go to the academy Disguised in Drag . Jeanne also behaves like a flirt who calls Vanitas her food property because of all the shoujo manga Dominique made her read.
• Masquerade Ball : The second arc of the series has our heroes attend a Bal Masque full of vampire aristocrats.
• Mass Super-Empowering Event : The renowned alchemist Paracelsus built the Tower of Babel as part of an experiment to rewrite the World Formula, resulting in a disaster known as the Babel Incident. The formula that constituted coal was altered to become the blue mineral, Astermite, from which power could be produced without almost any environmental pollution, a flora formula was altered to create bioluminescent flowers, and most importantly, the human formula had been altered and given way to the existence of vampires.
• Matricide : In a disturbing example, Catherine, a young girl vampire attacks her mother after being affected by the curse. She then begs Vanitas to kill her before she hurts her sister. He obliges
• "Vanitas" can mean "vanity" (exhibited in the self-serving way he talks about saving the vampires) or "emptiness" (a possible allusion to Noé's statement at the end of chapter 1 that he would kill him with his own two hands). A vanitas is also a particular style of painting, a reminder of death and the frailty of life which demands that we cannot be obsessed with trivial things. This may also be a factor in the meaning of Vanitas' name.
• Noé's name. Vanitas calls him "Child of the Ark" and he is an Archivist, a clan of vampires believed to have died out. Noé is the French version of "Noah" from Noah's Ark, a famous Bible story where two (a male and a female) of every animal is brought upon a boat to survive extinction...
• A vampire's true name seems to be this in general.
• Mercy Kill Arrangement : Vanitas promises Jeanne to kill her if there ever comes a time that she's 'no longer herself'.
• Mind Virus : The malady afflicting vampires that Vanitas is aiming to eradicate. It takes possession of the victim's true name and endows them with an unquenchable thirst for blood.
• Mutual Pining : In the aftermath of the Gévaudan arc, Vanitas and Jeanne find themselves pining for each other, leading people around them to point out Vanitas has fallen for Jeanne and vice versa. Vanitas is highly uncomfortable with catching feelings for Jeanne because his self-loathing keeps him in denial about being deserving of love. Meanwhile, Jeanne is happy to be in love with Vanitas, but since he claims he doesn't feel attraction to someone who can love him, she plans to not let him know her true feelings.
• Mythology Gag : When Vanitas and Noe are initially caught by Roland, Vanitas introduces themselves as Vincent and Gilbert. These are the names of two brothers from the author's previous manga, PandoraHearts .
• Myth Prologue : The manga begins with Noe narrating the story of the Vampire of the Blue Moon and how they were exiled for being a bad omen while swearing revenge. It later turns out that this story isn't as accurate as other vampires believed as it turns out that the Vampire of the Blue Moon was actually a nice guy with no interest in revenge.
• Not the Fall That Kills You… : In the first chapter/episode, Noé and Vanitas fall off of a Cool Airship . Not only do they survive the fall and landing (without a parachute!), they come out unharmed even though they crashed against a cathedral and made a hole in the ceiling.
• Off with His Head! : Decapitation is the only certain way to kill vampires. Louis, who was Dominique's older brother and one of Noé's first friends, was decapitated by his grandfather in order to protect Noé when Louis became a Cursebearer.
• Oh, and X Dies : The first chapter ends with Noé's narration stating that he will kill Vanitas at the end of their journey.
• One Cast Member per Cover : There's a different character on each volume cover, with the occasional exception of pairs (Vanitas and Noé in every cover featuring them since Volume 3, Chloé and Jean-Jacques in Volume 7). Only the two protagonists, Vanitas and Noé, have more than one cover.
• One Twin Must Die : Twins are a symbol of bad luck to vampires, which is why some families kill one of the twins at birth. This was supposed to be Dominique's twin brother Louis' fate as giving birth to twins would have been a disgrace to the noble house of de Sade. Louis was only spared because his grandfather wanted to use him for some sort of experiment involving his transformation into a Curse-Bearer, so he could live up to his teens.
• Our Vampires Are Different : Vampires are closer to a Mage Species that drinks blood to gain strength. Because of their direct connection to the World Formula, they have abilities similar to magic that allow them to increase their physical strength and stamina, and in the case of more powerful vampires, use Elemental Powers and such. They apparently won't die unless directly killed via decapitation and their bodies instantly turn to dust after losing their head. Drinking blood is not a necessity for them and they can easily suppress their blood cravings unless they become Curse-Bearers, vampires who went insane after their true name was corrupted.
• Over-the-Shoulder Carry : Jeanne carries Vanitas over her shoulder when she needs to take him away for a private conversation about her blood cravings.
• Pink Girl, Blue Boy : There's the pink-haired Jeanne often paired with Vanitas who is blue-eyed and dresses in blue clothes.
• P.O.V. Boy, Poster Girl : A male-male variation; Vanitas is the titular character and poster boy while Noé is the viewpoint character.
• The Power of Friendship : A recurring theme is Vanitas and Noé growing stronger together and overcoming obstacles by learning to trust and help each other as friends. A notable example is Noé managing to stop a hypnotized Vanitas' attempt to murder him by swearing he will never let him be "free" (i.e. alone) .
• Real Event, Fictional Cause : Between 1764 and 1767, there was an incident of serial murders in the former French province of Gévaudan that were attributed to a man-eating wolf-like animal that was called The Beast of Gévaudan. In this manga, the murders were supposedly committed by a Curse-Bearing vampire. In reality, that was just a cover. The real cause of the murders was an illegal vampire hunt of the church that indiscriminately killed everyone in Gévaudan that could be, become, or give birth to a vampire.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning : Vampires' eyes turn red when they display their superhuman powers that allow them to rewrite the World Formula. They also turn red when they're feeling strong emotions or are thirsty for blood.
• Reluctant Psycho : Many curse bearers are unwillingly turned into feral animals due to having their true names tampered with. Only a handful trade their names willingly for power. Even then, eventually their curse will leave their control and devolve into violent rage. Even fully in control, Chloé had difficulty resisting Noé's blood.
• Revenge : Vanitas' whole motive for saving the vampires; not to help them out of genuine good will but as revenge against the Vampire of the Blue Moon.
• Roundabout Shot : The anime opening sequence has one of these with Noé grabbing Vanitas by the hands and spinning him around in the air until they fall into a fountain.
• Rule of Symbolism : In an art illustration Jun Mochizuki did for Vanitas shows him falling, blue butterflies all around him. The only butterflies that are not blue are the purple ones on his arm where the mark of possession by the original Vanitas of the Blue Moon gave him.
• Scars Are Forever : Vanitas' left arm is scarred since he was bitten by the Vampire of the Blue Moon (or claims that he was).
• Scenery Porn : As expected from Jun Mochizuki's work. Just look at Chapter 1's scenery of Paris as Noé and Vanitas fall out of the airship. It's breathtaking.
• Ship Tease : The series has teasing moments for all the potential couples of the main cast, mainly VanitasxNoé (unusual partnership with lots of Homoerotic Subtext and Noé's strong interest for drinking Vanitas' blood), VanitasxJeanne ( Forceful Kiss from Vanitas, very sexually-charged blood drinking scenes, and a persistent Unresolved Sexual Tension ), NoéxDominique (childhood friends who like drinking blood from each other and are very protective of each other), and DominiquexJeanne ( Pseudo-Romantic Friendship where both girls admit to love each other).
• Spell Book : The Book of Vanitas has the power to interfere with the World Formula and restore the names of vampires that had them stolen.
• Steampunk : The series takes place in a steam-powered Paris as opposed to the Gaslamp Fantasy of PandoraHearts , though Vanitas also qualifies as that as well.
• Take Away Their Name : Naenia strips vampires from their true names, which causes them to become curse-bearers. The only known way to cure them is using the Book of Vanitas to bring their true name back.
• Technically Living Vampire : Vampires are an advanced Human Subspecies that came into existence because of a disaster known as the Babel Incident. Some humans gained the supernatural ability to use their eyes to rewrite the World Formula. Vampires drink blood if they want to (although the urge is easy to suppress) and are Long-Lived , but they're just like humans in every other aspect.
• Unresolved Sexual Tension : After a very weird and rough start, Vanitas and Jeanne have developed a very strong mutual attraction since the Gévaudan arc, with Vanitas having become increasingly flustered around her with their interactions.
• Void Between the Worlds : Between the human world and the vampire world, there's a void known as the "Border" that only vampires are able to cross. It's said that if a human were to step into the Border without touching a vampire, they would fall into nothingness and be lost between worlds forever.
• Wall Pin of Love : Vanitas has Jeanne cornered after tricking Noé into taking Jeanne's master Luca as a hostage. As Jeanne begs for Luca's life, Vanitas pins her against the wall, does something to her that makes her lose her power, and forces a kiss on her before asking her to marry him as he has fallen "in love" with her.
• Watching the Sunset : A variation happens in the belltower scene at the end of Mémoire 11/Episode 6. Noé makes the declaration that he wants to understand Vanitas and has decided to stay by his side. Vanitas concedes and the two men watch the sunrise, a symbol of the true start of their partnership.
• Witch Hunt : After the Babel Incident caused some humans to be transformed into vampires, they became hunted by regular humans who viewed them as unholy monsters. The original Beast of Gévaudan incident happened because paranoid members of the church were hunting hidden vampires in Gévaudan and killed any women and children they came across.
• The X of Y : The title is "The Case Study of Vanitas".

When Vanitas finds out that Jeanne apparently gets random cravings for blood, but can't figure out if she's a curse-bearer or not, he decides to entice her to drink his blood. It works, and he winds up enjoying it to the point where, in a later episode, he offers to give Jeanne exclusive bloodsucking rights to him in exchange for keeping the fact that she bit him a secret from her master Luca.

Who is the Strongest Character in the Case Study of Vanitas?

Who are the strongest characters in The Case Study of Vanitas?

Published: Feb 28, 2022, 12:05 pm Updated: Mar 01, 2022, 9:10 am

The Case Study of Vanitas might be one of the anime season's best-looking anime , but there's action there too.

Table of Contents

2) noé archiviste, 3) jean jacques chastel, 5) dominique de sade, 6) roland fortis, 7) astolfo granatum, 8) lord ruthven, 9) chloé d' apchiers, 10) queen faustina/naenia.

True to its shonen roots, the show, which is based on Jun Mochizuki's ongoing manga of the same name , features plenty of stylized battles that are fun and tense to watch. Featuring overpowered vampires, humans, and monsters. But who are the strongest characters in The Case Study of Vanitas?

As the human of the group, the titular Vanitas, who derives his name from an old vampire whose grimoire he now uses, isn't as physically strong as others in this list. While he introduces himself as "an average human being," however, he's revealed to be anything but. Equipped with a cursed grimoire, Vanitas is capable of curing vampires that would otherwise be beyond saving.

Vanitas prefers to avoid fights. Instead, he uses his intellect to face vampires whose true names have been corrupted, while others do the fighting around him, but many vampires would have to be eliminated if not for his use of the book of Vanitas. In a world of overpowered shonen protagonists, it's refreshing to see a character do their fighting with a book. And when he does have to fight, he's quite skilled with a dagger too!

Noé isn't the most strong in the series, as he's beaten up or captured a few times over the course of the series, but he can be pretty awesome in battle. As a vampire, he's equipped with enhanced speed and strength. If possible, he will try to befriend his foes to avoid fighting them, but he will land some blows when he must.

As is the case with Vanitas, Noé's most interesting abilities are intellectual, however. Noé is a member of the Archiviste clan and endowed with the ability to access other people's memories by drinking their blood. This has been the source of interesting flashbacks and insights throughout the anime.

While not a very powerful vampire in himself, Jean-Jacques spread some terror as the Beast of Gédauvan in his attempt to protect his beloved Chloé D' Apchier. While bearing the malnomen of the Beast, his powers included shapeshifting and as well as speedier healing than most vampires can achieve.

At the end of the Beast arc, Jean-Jacques chooses to have his true name restored, and rely on his regular vampire strength to keep himself and Chloé safe.

Jeanne is also known as the Hellfire Witch, which already suggests she's not to be messed with! Like most vampires, she has enhanced speed, endurance, and strength, and she's strongest than most due to her combat training, leaving the two main characters impressed after their first encounter. Moreover, a pair of crimson gauntlets, known as Carpe Diem, allows her to deal increased damage.

Dominque de Sade can be a menace in battle, being proficient in knife throwing and sword-fighting. She's very agile, which makes for impressive acrobatics, while she's also able to manipulate ice, which she shapes into ice waves or shards.

Roland is a human, so he's not naturally endowed with superhuman speed or fast healing. As a Chasseur, he uses perfromance-enhancing drugs when battling against vampires, which can make him a difficult opponent. He can cause real damage with Durandal, his weapon of choice, which can be used as one entity or separate, to accommodate long-range and close-range combat both. Thankfully, like Noé, he can also be open to dialogue and make unlikely friends, which tones down the damage.

Astrolfo is only in his teens, but the anger he fosters against vampires, paired with his paladin training makes him one of the most difficult opponents in the anime. Like Roland, he has access to performance-enhancing tonics, but, unlike him, he tends to abuse them in order to keep fighting for longer, which occasionally causes him to pass out in battle. His weapon of choice, Louisette, is one of the most prominent and scary ones to fight against.

So far, Ruthven hasn't been seen unleashing his rage very often, but when he does, things can get scary. Ruthven has shown himself capable of knocking out everyone in the room, including Jeanne and Noé, who aren't powerless themselves.

In the past, Ruthven was rather idealistic about human and vampire relationships, but this ended abruptly when his attempts to bring them together fail. In the narrative present, he has aligned himself with Charlatan, making him a particularly frightening foe.

Despite her youthful appearance, Chloé d' Apchiers is the oldest vampire in the anime, and she has definitely picked up some skills along the way. Her endless youth comes with enhanced strength that allows her to overpower vampires with adult bodies, including Noé and even Augustus Ruthven.

As is the case with other characters in the series, especially Vanitas, much of her power comes from her dedication to research. However, her desire to become a normal human eventually led her to a dark path, as she adopted the malnomen "Millie" which gave her the ability to manipulate gravity, create sealed spaces made of her memories, and create time loops that bend reality.

With her true name restored, Chloé loses many of these powers, as these were associated with her descent to a dark path, but her research and physical strength will hopefully still leave her well-equipped to face dangers yet to come.

Queen Faustina, who has been corrupted into the malnomen Naenia, is the source of many of the problems characters encounter in Season 1 of The Case Study of Vanitas. Now a mysterious entity without physical form, Naenia is responsible for the corruption of many vampires, who would end up beyond saving if not for the book of Vanitas.

Naenia's strength lies in her manipulation of vampires' minds, as she uses their worst memories and regrets to coax them into giving up their true names, thus corrupting them.

The characters of Vanitas, Noé and, Jeanne were popular in Anitrendz, with Vanitas and Jeanne being nominated in the couple category. [36] The handling of vampirism between Jeanne and Vanitas as well as Dominique and Noé was listed by Caitlin Moore from Anime News Network as the best moment in anime, due to the amount of sex appeal they portray directly. [37] Vanitas changing from fighting Jeanne into forcing a kiss with her was criticized for failing to reach comedy in the place of a seemingly scary scene, due to the discomfort he causes for the woman he suddenly announces his unconditional love to, whereas Dominique objectifies Noe in an uncomfortable way. [38] [39] El Palomitron suggested that while there is no boys' love between the two leads due to the focus on other more explored relationships, El Palomitrón still found Vanitas and Noe's connection deep and comparable to the one the former shares with Jeanne, as a result of the themes each share. [40]

Amelia Ruth

Amelia Ruth (アメリア・ルース, Ameria Rūsu) is a supporting character from Jun Mochizuki 's The Case Study of Vanitas . She is the first Vampire whom Noé witnesses being cured of Malnomen by Vanitas using the Book of Vanitas . Her case is the inciting incident that first brings together Vanitas and Noé, spurring them on to work together to heal curse-bearers all throughout Paris .

Amelia's True Name had been corrupted by Naenia sometime before her trip to Paris, which was for the purpose of seeking out a doctor for said Malnomen. Despite being cured easily, Amelia is taken into custody by Count Orlok who deems her dangerous for simply having contracted a Malnomen at all and orders for her execution. But thanks to the efforts of Vanitas and Noé, Amelia escapes her deadly fate under the condition that she remain under Count Orlok's watch. She is then employed as a live-in maid at Hôtel Chouchou , where Vanitas and Noé reside, occasionally assisting them in everyday menial tasks.

Appearance [ ]

Amelia is a young woman with light brown hair that she wears pulled back in a braided bun, with matching light brown eyes. She initially appears wearing a frilly white shirt under a purple romantic shrug, a pink hat, a long pink skirt paired with a pink corset. After becoming a maid at Hôtel Chouchou, Amelia wears a dark magenta floral-patterned dress, a french maid apron, and a cloth bun cover. In the anime, her maid dress doesn't have a pattern, being instead a flat magenta color.

Personality [ ]

Amelia is a kind, polite, and good-natured person. She also has a very joyful demeanor around people, easily getting along with others, and she seems to be good at reading people, quickly learning how to understand Vanitas' moods and personality as well as Noé's. She is easily flustered, and is frequently seen with a light blush on her cheeks. Despite almost being executed under Count Orlok's orders, she holds no ill will towards him, and seems to enjoy her job as a maid provided by him.

Amelia seems to enjoy being helpful, often offering snacks to Noé and Vanitas — and even to Dante [1] — and frequently offering her assistance as well. She is naturally curious and likes to observe the residents of the hotel, mainly Noé and Vanitas. She keeps track of their silly arguments as well as the trinkets Noé brings to their shared room, and even catches glimpses of Nox and Manet watching Murr from afar [2] . Despite that curiosity, Amelia is also very tactful when the situation calls for it, as seen when she offers to grab breakfast for Noé so that he wouldn't interrupt Dominique's conversation with Jeanne in the hotel's restaurant [3] .

Prior to being cured of her Malnomen, Amelia suffered frequent fainting spells.

History [ ]

One day, while returning home with a basket of apples, Amelia found that she'd lost her way, being alone and surrounded in a thick and ominous fog. Just then, numerous horrifying figures began to emerge from the fog; amalgamations of claws, skulls, machinery and music. As a path opened in the crowd, Amelia's sight was lead to a dark figure, Charlatan , who welcomed her to the Parade of the Charlatan. Screaming, a terrified Amelia attempted to run; knowing that Charlatan was something very wrong and that if he were to catch her she'd have been done for.

Reaching a lamp post, Amelia felt as though she'd made a safe distance between herself and Charlatan; putting down her basket for a moment so that she could catch her breath. However Charlatan curled his body around the lamppost from above, ecstatic to have found Amelia. Charlatan opened its mouth wide and asked Amelia to show him her true name.

Amelia would eventually return home, and after two months she had begun to notice that she was feeling ill and figured out that she had become a Curse-Bearer - though her memories of the ordeal with Charlatan had been erased. As such, Amelia wrote to a doctor named Vanitas in Paris who specialized in treating Curse-Bearers, who then urged Amelia to journey to Paris for proper treatment.

Having boarded La Baleine en route to Paris, Amelia listens to the clamouring of worried citizens as they talk about the nine-fold murderer, Thomas Berneux , and the return of Vampires. Soon after however, Amelia begins to feel faint and falls to the ground; only to be caught up in the arms of a young man, Noé, who asks if she's alright.

Noé brings Amelia to a small café nearby, where she thanks him for his kindness as they enjoy some tea together. Noé tells Amelia not to worry about it and asks if she's certain that she'll be okay with him not bringing her to the doctor's office, but Amelia claims that she should be fine with a little rest. Moving in frighteningly closer to the woman, Noé examines her and objects that she has a poor complexion, which worries him. Amelia simply shrugs it off and states that it's just her anemia, asking the man not to worry about it, promising to go see a doctor later. Upon noticing Noé's confusion, Amelia sips her tea and admits that she has no intention of seeing anyone that her doctor in Paris for a variety of reasons; thanking Noé once again for his help. Just then, Amelia notices something out of the corner of her eye, and Noé's cat jumps out from underneath the table toward her - prompting Noé to order his cat to behave. As Amelia sits and pets the cat, she gushes about how cute and warm he is. Turning back to Noé, Amelia introduces herself and asks Noé's name in return. Noé, misinterpreting Amelia, assumes she means the cat - and so he introduces Amelia to Murr - however before Amelia can object, the captain of La Baleine announces that they'd be arriving in Paris in about an hour.

As Noé rushes to the window to see Paris, Amelia follows and tells Noé that she doesn't think that they could see Paris yet from the airship, which disappoints Noé. Despite this, Noé voices how amazing he thinks it is that one could reach Paris in the blink of an eye aboard an airship like La Baleine. As Noé giggles with excitement, Amelia asks if this is the first time that Noé has ever rode on a dirigible, prompting Noé to ask what gave it away. Noé explains that he's always been confined within the forests of Averoigne, so this is his first time seeing and riding in such a large airship. Amelia, having not heard of Averoigne, assumes that it must be an incredible rural area - though Noé carries on about his astonishment over how something so heavy can float through the sky and how he's heard that Paris rivals London in terms of steam mechanisms; hence his looking forward to arriving in Paris.

Curious, Amelia asks if Noé is going to Paris to do some sight-seeing. Unexpectedly, Noé grows more serious and proclaims that his purpose in Paris is to find something calls The Book of Vanitas. Noting the shock on Amelia's face, Noé asks if she's heard of it, explaining that it's the name of a cursed book that introduces the fairy-tale about the Vampire of the Blue Moon. Noé then explains that once upon a time there was a shunned Vampire named Vanitas of the Blue Moon . While most Vampires are born on the night of the Blood Moon, for some unknown reason Vanitas of the Blue Moon was born under a sign of Ill Omen, the Blue Moon. People feared Vanitas of the Blue Moon as a result, and when he was cast out of his clan, he created a cursed grimoire in order to enact revenge on his fellow Vampires, as the one in possession of The Book of Vanitas could bring the existence of Vampires to an end.

As the clock tolls, Noé voices his surprise that it’s already so late. Picking up Murr – who gnaws on Noé’s sleeve – Noé states that they’re going to have to get ready to leave La Baleine soon enough, and offers to walk Amelia back to her room. Amelia agrees passively, though she’s notably distracted as she can only focus on how cold she feels. While Noé walks Amelia back to her room, Amelia asks if Noé truly believes that The Book of Vanitas exists. Noé says that he’s unsure, but he’d recently received a letter that detailed The Book of Vanitas’ presence in Paris from his master. Thus, whether or not The Book of Vanitas is real, Noé must journey to Paris to verify it.

Suddenly, Amelia collapses once again, but as Noé attempts to help her, Amelia tells him not to touch her – her reaction causing a light nearby to shatter behind Noé. Murr hisses at Amelia as she rises, with Noe finally realizing that Amelia is a Vampire as her eyes turn red and she bears her fangs. With that, Vanitas and Dante crash through a nearby window – glad to have finally found Amelia. As Vanitas lands in front of them, Noé cradles Amelia in his arms. As Vanitas attempts to take Amelia from Noé, Noé defends Amelia - only to find that he can't effectively fend off Vanitas while protecting her. Eventually, Vanitas bests Noé in battle, sending Amelia flying into the air, where she stops and floats above them – confusing Vanitas long enough for Noé to retaliate and throw Vanitas into a nearby wall before catching Amelia and fleeing the scene.

As Noé carries a barely conscious Amelia, Amelia voices repeatedly how cold she is. Within her subconscious, Amelia sits along in a warm field with flower petals floating all around her. Amelia then notices Charlatan out of the corner of her eye - who gushes about how warm it is there, how pretty Amelia’s flowers are and how he likes it there – asking that Amelia give that place and her name to him. As Charlatan puts its hands on Amelia, he bends down and kisses her – consuming Amelia in the darkness flowing out from Charlatan. Charlatan's darkness warps Amelia's true name into Églantine, Prison of Briars ( 荊の牢獄 ( エグランティーヌ ) , Ibara no Rougoku ― Egurantīnu ) - putting Amelia completely at Charlatan's mercy and allowing her status as a Curse-Bearer to come to fruition.

The prison of briars.

As Amelia screams, Noé delivers her to one of the officers aboard La Baleine and requests that she be taken to a doctor immediately. The officer asks what Noé intends on doing now – prompting Noé to explain that he intends on finding the one who attacked Amelia and having him explain what exactly is going on. Hearing this, Amelia springs forward and wraps her arms around Noé, telling him not to go. Suddenly, Amelia starts panting – while she thinks of how it’s so cold that she could die, which is why she desires something warm. Amelia then sinks her teeth into Noé’s neck, consuming his blood – which frightens the passengers observing the situation. As Noé drops to his knees he thinks of how much his strength is fading and forces Amelia off of him.

Amelia remains frozen in the air, dripping black tears from her eyes and chest as she grows more and more thirsty for blood. Amelia realizes that the blood made her feel warm again, and so she insists that Noé give her more of his blood, summoning shadowed thorns from the black tears pooling on the floor. Amelia sends the shadowed thorns after the human spectators and lunges at one of her victims – only to be stopped by Noé – who asks that she stop what she’s doing, as Vampires are not allowed to attack humans and if she continued to do so she’d be disposed of.

Just as Amelia is about to kill Noé, Vanitas intervenes – casting her away and standing in front of Noé to keep him protected – reminding Noé that he’d warned him about getting hurt. After explaining the situation to Noé, Vanitas reveals that he has the Book of Vanitas and opens it to cure Amelia of her malnomen. The Book of Vanitas, which shines forth a bright light as Vanitas suggests that they return Amelia’s true name to her. As Amelia is engulfed in the light her shadowed thorns disintegrate, and the light touches her soul – where she is shown to be encased in a forest of thorns. Recognizing the warmth as spring sunlight, Amelia follows it to the edge of the thorns, where Vanitas corrects her by saying that the warmth was hers and hers alone, reaching through the darkness and pulling Amelia back into the warm field where flowers dance through the air.

Outside her consciousness, Vanitas speaks Amelia’s true name: Florifel, She Who Guides Spring ( 春を導く者 ( フローリフェル ) , Haru wo Michibiku Mono — Furōriferu ) – believing it to be very fitting for Amelia. Amelia, shown to have regained complete control of herself is crying as she’s shocked to hear her true name, subsequently thanking Vanitas for returning it to her. Amelia then slumps in Vanitas’ arms – prompting Dante to ask if she’d died – but Vanitas assures both Dante and Noé that Amelia is simply unconscious.

Then, two officers come forward and attempt to arrest Vanitas and Dante, blaming them for everything that had happened. During this exchange, Vanitas is hit on the head with debris and knocked unconscious, falling out of La Baleine with Noé - as he'd attempted to save Vanitas - into the streets of Paris below. With Vanitas and Noé gone, the officers proceed to seize their possessions, including Murr and Amelia, handing them off to Count Parks Orlok after La Baleine lands. Given what had happened, Count Orlok organizes a cover up of the event and prepares Amelia for execution by a Bourreau the next day.

Amelia, imprisoned.

Having also organized the release of Vanitas and Noé - who had been taken into custody after returning to La Baleine, Count Orlok is visited by the two at Galerie Valentine so that they can retrieve their effects. It is here where Vanitas learns that Orlok does not believe in the powers of The Book of Vanitas and has renounced the idea that Amelia could have been cured by its power. Furthermore, Count Orlok has no real intention of returning The Book of Vanitas, and reveals Amelia's fate to Vanitas and Noé given his belief that she is still a Curse-Bearer. While Vanitas argues that since Amelia's capture Orlok had likely already had her interrogated, so he knows she's within the right state of mind - however Count Orlok denies that this has any kind of merit, believing that Amelia's calm nature was a mere coincidence and that she'd revert to her violent state again soon enough and be beheaded by The Bourreau as Curse-Bearers always have been.

Furious, Noé strikes up a deal with Count Orlok, declaring that he and Vanitas would seek out Thomas Berneux for him and cure him with The Book of Vanitas before Orlok's very eyes in order to prove the grimoire's validity in return for Amelia's release - which Count Orlok agrees to - giving Noé and Vanitas one day to do so. For further security - Count Orlok sends his personal guards Nox and Manet out to shadow Vanitas and Noé, acting as Orlok's eyes and ears in the city while he remained at Galerie Valentine.

When Nox and Manet returned to Galerie Valentine with news that Vanitas and Noé had indeed used the Book of Vanitas to cure Thomas Berneux of being a Curse-Bearer, though Berneux had been murdered by someone else shortly afterward - Count Orlok arranged for Vanitas and Noé to be put up at Hotel Chouchou for the night so that they could settle their arrangement in the morning.

The next day, Count Orlok revealed that Berneux had been killed and that he had accepted the power of The Book of Vanitas to some degree - having Nox bring Amelia into his office. As Nox brings Amelia into the room, she's ecstatic to see both Noé and Murr again - though as they celebrate, Orlok reveals that because they can't be sure that Amelia won't lose control again she will have to stay where they can keep an eye on her. Turning to Nox, Orlok states that Hotel Chouchou is looking for maids at the moment, and so Nox makes note of this and will make preparations for Amelia to be employed at Hotel Chouchou as live-in help so that she can be monitored. In reality, Count Orlok had done this because he knows that Amelia's neighbors would have gotten wind about her condition as a Curse-Bearer, and so she has no where else to go.

Vanitas then suggests that they get down to talking to business, which confuses Count Orlok, only for Vanitas to remind him that he'd come to speak with Amelia, which Orlok allows; knowing that their "talk" has to do with Curse-Bearers. Sitting Amelia on a sofa in Count Orlok's office, Vanitas reminds Amelia that in the letter she'd written to him she'd stated that she'd known about being a Curse-Bearer for the past two months. As Amelia confirms this, Vanitas asks if anything had happened just prior to that, though when Amelia doesn't seem to understand what Vanitas is getting at he elaborates by asking if she'd see "Charlatan". Delving further into his explanation, Vanitas reveals that in speaking with the Vampires that he'd treated thus far, he'd noticed that prior to noticing their symptoms several of them admitted to encountering the same thing. Vanitas recounts his patients' past experiences as being surrounded by a thick fog all of a sudden and then seeing the Parade of the Charlatan. Orlok asks if Vanitas thinks that it is this "Charlatan" that is making Curse-Bearers appear, which Vanitas admits to not knowing; being the reason why he's asking Amelia.

Grasping her head in frustration, Amelia apologizes, as she feels as though she did encounter something similar to what Vanitas is talking about, but she can't remember it; Vanitas encourages her to try a little harder, but to no avail. Count Orlok then looks to Noé and asks him to take a look, revealing Noé's name to be Noé Archiviste; stunning both Noé and Vanitas. Noé asks Count Orlok how he could know about him, prompting Orlok to reveal that before Noé and Vanitas had come to Galerie Valentine the day before, he'd received a letter from The Master that had Noé's name and requested that he assist Noé in everyday matters while in Paris. Vanitas simply clenches his teeth in shock, muttering the name "Archiviste" to himself.

Amelia then asks Noé if there really is a way for him to see into her memoires, encouraging him to do so if there is; admitting that she'd be very happy if there was a way she could be of use to him. Upon further begging, Noé agrees, sitting beside Amelia and gently biting her arm to drink her blood - shocking and confusing Amelia, as well as Manet. While Amelia trembles at the mercy of Noé, Vanitas looks upon the scene with a cold sense of seriousness. Soon, Noé grabs onto his head and screams in terror - terrifying Amelia, Manet and Nox in the process. While Amelia attempts to help Noé as he covers his mouth and collapses into her lap, Vanitas stares at the scene with concern - while a knock at the door garners Nox's attention; revealing that Dominique de Sade -  Noé's fiancé - has arrived in Paris.

Powers and Abilities [ ]

• Enhanced speed, strength and endurance .
• Forest of Thorns - While her True Name was altered into a malnomen, Amelia possessed the ability to summon forth forests of thorns, which she could control to both shelter her and to attack her enemies. Whether or not this power was just because of Charlatan's influence remains to be seen.

Relationships [ ]

Vanitas [ ].

After being cured of her malnomen, Amelia and Vanitas have been on friendly terms. She is very grateful for his help, and even offered a token of gratitude in return for curing her, although he declined it [2] . She cares about him and respects his boundaries, although she does enjoy teasing him a little bit about his softer side. Amelia seems to understand Vanitas' personality well enough, reading past his grumpiness and recognizing his own special way of apologizing. She also shows concern for Vanitas' friendship with Noé, keeping track of their fights and reconciliations.

Noé Archiviste [ ]

Amelia and Noé have somewhat similar personalities — both are joyful, kind, and polite — and she often goes along with Noé's excitement, making them good friends who get along very well. Due to Noé's innocence, she often finds herself flustered when he obliviously invades her personal space, but she seems to take it in good nature. She frequently worries about him, especially after he and Vanitas come back from dangerous situations. She also shows concern for Noé's friendship with Vanitas, keeping track of their fights and reconciliations.

Amelia is notably affectionate to the cat, and loves to pet his fur and cuddle him. She is also allowed to hold Murr for long periods of time, and Murr even protests Noé dragging him away from her.

Parks Orlok [ ]

At first, she was taken into custody by Count Orlok and was almost executed for her status as a curse-bearer. However, thanks to Vanitas and Noé, Count Orlok relieved her of her fate and offered her a job at Hôtel Chouchou to keep her under his watch — since then, they seem to be on good terms, and she holds no ill will towards him.
