Our Vampires Are Different/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

** Oh, and the first vampire, who made/inspired the others? It's probably easiest to describe it as the [[Eldritch Abomination]] [[Anthropomorphic Personification]] ''of the moon''

** Then again you could probably count on your fingers the amount of times the word "vampire" was actually said.

Arcueid: "Yeah, I guess you can call it that." }}

** According to ''[[Fate/Zero]]'', there are even some mages who experiment on creating Dead Apostles. The only example given of this phenomenon is via the creation of a potion. Even so, the results aren't [[Came Back Wrong|as planned]].

* ''[[Soul Eater]]'' has Mosquito, whose appearance, depending on the amount of blood he's consumed, varies from a little old man, a giant insect, something kind of resembling a gorilla, to a black suit-clad bishounen (each form older and stronger than the last). The kind of blood seems to matter, as Mosquito is very interested in Death the Kid's 'D-type' blood. He doesn't get to drink it, merely cause the boy to lose quite a bit through (temporary) loss of limb.

* Svetlana Chmakova's ''[[Nightschool]]'' plays with the "no reflections" rule a bit; a vampire who's been very recently turned still has one, which means that they can still regain their humanity if they're taken to a healer quickly enough. They also face losing their minds and turning into "Rippers" as they get older, which are little more than withered husks with a ravenous desire to feed.

* The male crossdressing vampire Lady Bat from ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]'' is rather mysterious; it's said that he feeds from memories instead of blood, but in a later manga chapter he said:

** He also can sing a song which cause hypnosis to anyone who hears, which enables him to suck memories/blood without resistance. Oh, and he can also turn into a swarm of bats.

* One character in ''[[Speed Grapher]]'' compares the Euphorics to vampires, noting how [[Genre Savvy|in modern works, vampirism is often made "scientific" by being transmitted through virus]]. Euphorics likewise get their powers from a virus, and like many vampires, possess a [[Healing Factor]]. Also probably important is the sexual violence element of vampires, which is mirrored by the fact that Euphoric powers are their (sexual) fetishes weaponized.
