Episode 9 of the Case Study of Vanitas, part 2, titled “Scars,” is the latest installment of the anime.
This episode explored a bit of Domi and Noe’s relationship. We already knew that Domi liked Noe and had romantic feelings for him, but it wasn’t clear if Noe felt the same. Even though Noe still lacks romance, it was clear that he cared deeply about Domi, especially after Louis’ death.
We were also introduced to Mikhail, a boy who calls himself Vanitas’ younger brother. He held Domi hostage and asked Noe to drink Vanitas’ blood to find out the reason behind their father’s death. When Noe got confused, Mikhail figured out that the vampire knew nothing about Vanitas’ past.
He made his drink his blood instead so that Noe could find out something about Vanitas’ history. With his past exposed to his partner, how will Vanitas react to Noe’s discovery? Keep watching to find out.
Episode 10 Speculation
In the next episode, Vanitas’ past will be revealed. Even though it might not be the complete story, we’ll still know a little more about what his life was like during Moreau’s experiments.
Noe’s world will turn upside down when he witnesses a dark phase of Vanitas’ life. The latter might not take it too well since he doesn’t like people finding out information about him.
Mikhail, the boy who claims to be Vanitas’ brother, will shed more light on how he turned into a curse-curing machine, and we’ll finally know what exactly Moreau did to his subjects. I hope Vanitas stops Mikhail as soon as possible so that Noe gets the ability to save Domi.

Episode 9 Recap
Noe receives a letter from Mikhail that contains a bunch of Domi’s hair and states that he’s waiting for him with her at a specific location.
We enter a flashback from Noe’s past where he is introduced to Domi and Louis as kids. Domi is pretty shy at first but quickly gets close to Noe as time passes. Louis, Domi’s older brother, is seen carving some wooden stakes and storing them in a chest.
He gives the trunk to his sister and asks her to give it to Noe when the time comes.
One night, Domi rushes to Noe, frantically alerting him about Louis’ curse. That night Louis gets beheaded in front of his Domi and Noe, scarring the two kids for life. After this incident, Noe becomes unconscious for a few days, and Domi visits him every day.
During one of these visits, Veronica, Domi’s older sister, comes to pick her up from Noe’s residence. The older girl’s carefree attitude confuses Domi, and she asks her if she feels any remorse towards their brother’s death. Veronica simply dismisses it, saying that Louis wasn’t supposed to exist in the first place.
He was actually Domi’s twin brother, and twins were a bad omen in their family. He was supposed to be executed when he was born, but Ruthven thought it’d be a waste to kill him. Shocked at this revelation, Domi starts blaming herself for her brother’s death and Noe’s condition.
When Noe wakes up, he sees Domi trying to mimic Louis’ mannerisms and physical appearance. This makes him realize how deeply she had been affected by her brother’s death. He decides to always protect Domi after watching her desolate state.
In the present, Mikhail holds Domi hostage and threatens to kill her if Noe doesn’t obey him. He wants him to suck Vanitas’ blood and find out why he killed their father. Mikhail refers to Vanitas as his older brother, confusing Noe even more.
Sensing his confusion, Mikhail makes fun of Noe for not knowing anything about his so-called partner. He orders him to suck his blood instead so that he can find out the truth about Vanitas’ past. Noe obliges, not wanting to put Domi in danger.
Elsewhere, Vanitas and Jeanne grow increasingly worried about Noe and Domi’s disappearances, respectively. When Vanitas finds out that Mikhail has reached out to Noe, he panics and rushes to find them.
Meanwhile, Noe digs into Mikhail’s skin, and as his blood touches his lips, he gets transported to the past. Mikhail’s mother was a prostitute and was killed by a vampire. Luckily for him, he was saved by Roland and his team.
This stroke of luck was short-lived since he was soon kidnapped by Moreau and turned into a lab rat.
The episode ends as Moreau introduces the boy to Vanitas and asks him to look after him. Mikhail is named “Number 71” and is added to the victims’ list of the evil Chasseur.
