Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign (Original Japanese Version)

Yu is caught in the middle of a political fight between Guren and Kureto Hiragi. However, Yu's determined to take care of his family - new or old. He assures Guren that he's on his side no matter what, and turns to him for help in saving Mika.

To start the training of the Cursed Gears, the Shinoa squad moves outside the wall to keep the damage to a minimum in case their demons get the best of them. Yu and Kimizuki must overcome their trauma to prove their psychological strength to their demons.

Kureto orders a suicide mission to Guren; wage a war against vampire nobles in Nagoya with only 100 men. Guren needs all the help he can get and brings the Shinoa squad into this mission. Meanwhile, the vampire main units also prepare to head to Nagoya.

When the Shinoa squad arrives late, they realize just how serious this mission is for Guren. Knowing this is an impossible mission where many will die, Guren puts his emotions aside and orders his men to not necessarily survive, but to win.

The Shinoa squad and Narumi squad join forces to carry out their mission - to kill the Fifteenth Progenitor, Lucal Wesker. While they succeed in their mission without losing anybody, others were not so lucky. Nine teams fail and were taken as hostages...

The Shinoa squad re-learns the hard cold fact that it's very possible to lose comrades, but there's no time to mourn. They must move on to go rescue the hostages. Right after their departure, Mika and the other vampires arrive to Nagoya as well.

Guren, Shinoa, and Narumi squads arrive at the city hall and see the hostages. Knowing it's a set-up, they still decide to go save the hostages, but Guren and Shinya is way over their head with Crowley, as they struggle just to run away from him.

Shinoa's squad goes to save Guren, but unfortunately, they run out of time. Reluctantly, they leave him behind and retreat, but Yu just cannot bring himself to do that. Instead, he takes more of the Curse Stimulant Pills to go save Guren himself.

Thanks to his "experimentation," Yu makes a miraculous recovery and once again, goes back to save Guren. Pushing too hard, Yu nearly becomes a demon, but Kimizuki stops him by force. The squad carries Yu out and head for safety, but then encounters Mika.

Yu and Mika are finally reunited, but the injuries Mika had sustained from fighting the Demon Company threatens his life. Determined to keep Mika alive, Yu tries to persuade Mika into drinking his blood... Even if it means Mika will become a true vampire.

The survivors of the Moon Demon Company get to the rendezvous point, only to find out that their orders are to "standby." Enraged, they decide to ignore the orders to save Guren, when Kureto appears. Apparently, Kureto has something else on the agenda.

Kureto's trump card was Mirai, Kimizuki's younger sister and another Seraph of the End test subject. In order to stop the Japanese Imperial Demon Army, Yu has no choice but to reach out to his inner "trumpet" to tap into the angel's powers.
