Episode 5 of the Case Study of Vanitas, part 2, titled “Hands Upon a Nightmare,” is the latest installment of the anime.
In this episode, we found out that Naenia was actually the first vampire of the crimson moon who took her current form to collect the names of various vampires. We don’t know why she’s doing that yet, but things have gotten really interesting.
Also, we saw Jeanne’s true backstory. When her past memories were touched upon, they seemed fairly innocent. However, in reality, her parents were killed due to treason against vampires. Jeanne then became a puppet of the government, a bourreau, and was tasked to kill Chloe.
Will Jeanne really resume her old ways, or will she continue with the mission to kill Chloe? Keep watching to find out.
Episode 6 Speculation
This episode gave us a big twist, revealing that she’s the queen of vampires. She’s collecting the names of as many vampires as possible for some unknown reason.
We did see the queen lying unconscious in her bed in the previous season, so it could mean that Naenia is some kind of her astral projection.
Also, Jeanne’s real back story was shown. At first, we only knew that Jeanne’s parents were Ruthven’s students who were somehow killed. Now we know that they were beheaded because of committing unforgivable crimes.
In the next episode, the story will continue, with Vanitas addressing Jeanne, reminding her that she can become more than just a puppet. It will also be interesting to see what role Astolfo and the other chasseurs will play in this messy situation.

Episode 5 Recap
Chloe comes closer to materializing Naenia’s shadow form using the alteration engine. Even though she looks like an entanglement of white threads, Naenia’s body starts taking a human-like form, and Chloe moves closer to her.
She squeezes her neck, eager to kill her. Chloe reveals that her plan is to kill Naenia since she turned her beloved Jean-Jacques into the beast of Gevaudan.
As Chloe presses her neck harder, Naenia emits strange energy under pressure. Vanitas begs her to stop hurting the amorphous being while anticipating the worst. In the meantime, Astolfo and Noe’s fight gets interrupted due to Naenia’s screams. They decide on a ceasefire and rush inside.
Naenia’s body begins to crack, and Vanitas yells at Chloe to release her bodily form or else she’ll remember her true identity. He also adds that she won’t be able to kill her.
The situation spirals out of control, and Naenia is transformed into a woman with long blond hair. She’s revealed to be the queen of vampires, and her presence emits an oppressive solid force.
Chloe begins trembling and her body not defying the presence before her. The woman pulls her into a kiss, and a black liquid starts flowing out of her mouth. Confused about what’s happening, Noe asks Vanitas for updates.
Vanitas tells him that Naenia is the death’s keeper, the malnomen of Queen Faustina, and the first vampire of the crimson moon.
Shocked, Noe doesn’t have the time to process this information, and before he can do anything, they’re engulfed in an atmosphere of darkness.
Gevaudan starts crumbling, and Neania takes her previous shadow form after shoving away Chloe and Jean-Jacques. She disappears after remembering to collect more names.
Meanwhile, the entire city floats in the air, in another dimension. The villagers are confused and terrified when a pack of wolves starts cornering them.
Just as they’re about to get killed, Roland makes an entry with his team and saves the day. Vanitas asks him for help in protecting the civilians. Roland agrees but asks him to get rid of this massive mess.
We then cut to Jeanne, who is taken over by Naenia. We see the true memories of her journey from being an orphan to having loving adults to seeing her parents’ beheading. Lord Ruthven takes her responsibility and tells her to become a bourreau to atone for her parents’ crimes.
She is reminded that she is there to kill the beast of Gevaudan, Chloe. Suddenly, Vanitas’ voice breaks through, telling her that Chloe wasn’t the beast and she didn’t have to do it. The episode ends as Jeanne takes Vanitas’ hand, and he tells her that it’s not too late to save Chloe.
