Blood+ Episode 20
These fab dudes are Diva's Chevalier.
Okay, shit like this is why I feel perfectly justified in Diva having really expensive and lavish tastes.
This is on top of a HUGE FUCKING SKYSCRAPER, as you find out later.
And this is where the Chevalier just...chill...
~*~family reunion~*~
SOLOMON: "Right on time, I see."
JAMES: "Of course. Where are the other two?"
SOLOMON: "I just recieved word that Brother Amshel would be a little late. After all, he's awfully busy with his numerous affairs."
JAMES: "What about Nathan?"
SOLOMON: "As usual, I haven't received--"
NATHAN: "Hi~!"
SOLOMON: "Welcome, Nathan."
NATHAN: "Solomon, are you feeling frisky?"
JAMES: "Stop it! Get away from me!"
NATHAN: "What a spit-and-polish officer..."
JAMES: "Stop acting like a child."
NATHAN: "You haven't been on the frontline lately. Aren't your reflexes getting a bit slow?"
[James tosses a 2 Euro coin like a razor and cuts off some of Nathan's hair]
JAMES: "You're right. I might have been a bit slower."
NATHAN: "Hey, who's the kid here?"
[Solomon laughs] JAMES: "What's so funny?"
NATHAN: "Still, what a beautiful garden this is. It would be nice if the Smithsonian had such a fabulous collection." [So, yes, those skeletons are real.]
SOLOMON: "Would you like to quit being the producer for the Opera House, and become the director of the museum?"
NATHAN: "I'll think about it in another hundred years. Right now, my head is brimming with thoughts of my next show. Oh, yes...Cinq Fleches will surely sponsor my next show."
SOLOMON: "Again? I don't mind, but give me some notie next time, won't you? I have my position to think of as CEO."
NATHAN: "I'll do that. Wouldn't it be interesting to put up a word of condolence for the American Aircraft Carrier?"
JAMES: "Entertainment is superfluous in war."
NATHAN: "But weren't those on-board humans? To humans, isn't war a form of entertainment?"
..."our presidential election is nothing more than entertainment."
NATHAN: "By the way, I heard that Diva's awakening was quite the fiasco.
So, how does our Diva feel today? I guess I'm the only one who hasn't met her yet?"
SOLOMON: "Brother Amshel hasn't, either."
NATHAN: "Then Diva still hasn't taken the Blood of Awakening."
DESTROY TOYS AND FOLIAGE DON'T GIVE A FUUUUCK
- And then there's the weird "power" of sucking life from plants. Leaf falls on her head green, and then it turns brown and dies in a few seconds.
And a stitched together image because I love her:
After the commercial break:
NATHAN: "Oh yes, I hear you met Saya's Chevalier."
SOLOMON: "Yes, I saw him in Vietnam. If I remember correctly, his name was Haji."
NATHAN: "James and I have never met him, so we're bursting with curiosity as to what kind of man he is."
JAMES: "I'm not interested."
NATHAN: "Aren't you even a little interested? He's Diva's bridegroom, you know."
JAMES: "I have no interest other than how to capture those who oppose Diva."
NATHAN: "Aren't you even a bit curious about Saya? She's our bride. Isn't that right, Solomon?"
SOLOMON: "Yes."
NATHAN: "Right? She's our destiny."
JAMES: "And at the same time a threat to our existence. Saya's blood brings swift death upon us."
SOLOMON: "I know that. However, after all, she was one of us. We should be able to reconcile with each other. However the one who broke us apart..."
SUDDENLY, AMSHEL: "Red Shield."
okay amshel honey, it's time to change out of the girl parts now
AMSHEL: "Everyone's here."
NATHAN: "Everyone but Carl."
And for the sake of completeness, Amshel.
JAMES: "Where have you been since your last communique?"
AMSHEL: "Russia."
SOLOMON: "Russia?"
AMSHEL: "I met up with Saya."
NATHAN: "You're bold as usual to go see Saya personally, Amshel."
AMSHEL: "I wanted to see her with my own eyes--The Saya of this time period."
SOLOMON: "How was it?"
AMSHEL: "Among those I have seen before, this Saya was the most human. However, that blood is what can kill us."
SOLOMON: "You saw Haji as well, didn't you?"
AMSHEL: "He's tagging along with Saya. Yes, just like a puppy."
JAMES: "Why did you not capture Haji then and there?"
AMSHEL: "Things must be done in a certain order. And besides, I didn't want to spill any blood."
JAMES: "Blood?"
AMSHEL: "Yes. Even if there is no reconciliation between kinsmen, isn't settling matters through bloodshed too much like the human way of doing things?"
SOLOMON: "So how should be proceed from here? Should we persuade Saya back to our side?"
NATHAN: "Diva has awakened, Haji has been found, and our backup plan is ready."
aklhsdiahsdsjald LMFAO
JAMES: "If Saya is indeed as you suggest, we must not let this opportunity pass us by."
AMSHEL: "About that, I invited Saya to the Zoo."
JAMES: "Who cares? What's the point for us?"
SOLOMON: "It was you, Brother, who said it was where everything began, wasn't it?"
AMSHEL: "Yes, everything started there, and there it will end."
[LONG SILENCE]
NATHAN: "A courtly performance. I love it. I would dance to your music."
JAMES: "Then, we'll capture Haji there."
AMSHEL: "If possible, I'd like Haji to come of his own free will. To lead him to do so [I think they mistranslated "Diva" as "so"]. That is why I invited Saya to the Zoo.
Then, what we must do, is to eliminate Saya, who has become an obstacle to our cause."
[and then he makes...a wine bottle explode...or something...]
SOLOMON: "Brother, that..."
JAMES: "You mean to kill her?"
NATHAN: "Are you serious, Amshel? Saya's our bride, you know."
AMSHEL: "We exist for the sake of Diva. We cannot allow anyone who wishes to harm Diva to exist."
JAMES: "I will follow Amshel's wish."
NATHAN: "I'm...Well, honestly, I don't have any reason to disagree. Though I am interested in Haji."
AMSHEL: "Solomon...What about you?"
SOLOMON: "You don't plan on seducing Saya, do you, Brother?"
AMSHEL: "Of course not."
SOLOMON: "Understood, my Brother's word is my will."
[Proposing a toast,] AMSHEL: "For Diva."
EVERYONE ELSE: "For Diva."
