Delving into Episode 10: Plot Highlights and Key Confrontations
Call of the Night Season 2 continues Ko’s journey to become a vampire, a goal contingent on him falling in love with Nazuna Nanakusa within a year. This season has intensified their relationship while introducing new challenges and characters. Episode 10, titled, arrives amidst growing tensions, particularly following the events of Episode 9.
The Aftermath of Episode 9
In Episode 9, Ko and Nazuna encountered Anko Uguisu, the detective known for her pursuit of vampires. Ko openly admitted his desire to become a vampire due to his feelings for Nazuna, a significant development in his character arc. Despite her ominous presence, Anko departed without immediate conflict, though her tone suggested further plans. Nazuna, in turn, began to suspect Anko’s true identity, foreshadowing a deeper connection between them. The gathering of other vampires—Niko, Seri, Kabura, Midori, and Hatsuka—further underscored the emerging threat posed by Anko.
The Clash of Ideologies: Nazuna vs. Anko
Episode 10 brings a much-anticipated confrontation to the forefront: Nazuna versus Anko Uguisu. This pivotal episode delves into their complex past, revealing that Anko Uguisu is actually Kyoko Meijiro, an old friend of Nazuna’s who harbors a deep grudge against vampires. The episode explores Nazuna’s internal conflict, torn between protecting Ko and her reluctance to harm her first friend. Anko, driven by a decade-long revenge plot, grapples with her self-destructive impulses and survival instinct, projecting her frustrations onto her former partner.
The battle is depicted with stylistic contrasts: Nazuna utilizes typical vampire abilities like flight and super speed, while Anko employs a more combative, “dirty” fighting style to compensate for her human limitations and provoke Nazuna. The schoolyard setting of their confrontation echoes classic anime battle aesthetics, but the core of the conflict remains deeply emotional and internal, rather than purely physical. Ko’s ability to understand Anko’s humanity becomes crucial in potentially thwarting her plans. Anko concludes their battle with a wistful confession, indicating a desire for Nazuna to be the one to end her, yet she wryly observes that Nazuna never truly gave her what she wanted, highlighting Anko’s regret-filled psyche.
The Creative Minds Behind the Night
The second season sees the return of the dedicated creative team. Tomoyuki Itamura continues to direct the series at studio LIDEN FILMS. Michiko Yokote is responsible for the series scripts, Haruka Sagawa handles character designs, and Yoshiaki Dewa composes the distinctive music. New character Haru Nanakusa, a nurse crucial to unlocking Nazuna’s past, has also been introduced, tying into the “Cigarette Case Arc” that is central to the new season’s narrative.
With its blend of supernatural romance, psychological depth, and stunning visuals, Call of the Night Season 2 continues to explore what it means to truly live and connect in the dead of night. Episode 10 marks a significant turning point, deepening the lore and emotional stakes for Ko and Nazuna as they navigate the complexities of their unusual relationship and the dangers lurking in the shadows.
