Details
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (バンパイアハンターD) is a 2000 Japanese anime film, written and directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri, with characters designed by Yutaka Minowa. It is the sequel to 1985’s Vampire Hunter D, and is based on the third of Hideyuki Kikuchi’s Vampire Hunter D novels, D – Demon Deathchase.
Synopsis
Charlotte, a young woman, is abducted by Count Meier Link, a vampire nobleman who is known not to harm humans needlessly. Charlotte’s father hires D to find her and kill her humanely if she turns into a vampire. At the same time, her older brother also hires the notorious Marcus brothers for backup. The two parties (D and the Marcus brothers) race inexorably after Meier Link. However, Meier Link hires the Mutant Barbarois; a group of lethal mercenary body guards. They consist of Caroline, a shape shifter; Benge, a shadow manipulator; and Mashira, a werewolf.
As the story progresses, Meier Link’s abduction turns out to be an escape by him and Charlotte, as they are lovers. Through the journey, D talks to Leila and tells her that she can have a life that someone like him could never have, the life of a normal human. They make a pact, if either one of them survives, the survivor can bring flowers to the other’s grave. Near the end of the movie, Meier Link goes with Charlotte to the Castle of Chaythe, where Countess Carmilla, Meier Link’s patron, waits for them. Carmilla, a ghost of a vampire who died long ago, reigned supreme within the Castle of Chaythe when vampires were all-powerful and unchallenged. However, her bloodlust was so strong that Count Dracula, D’s father, killed her in disgust. After going to the Castle of Chaythe, D fights Carmilla’s ghost, who plotted to kill Charlotte and return to life. D, along with Leila, let Meier Link leave for the City of the Night with Charlotte’s body.
In the final scene of the movie, D arrives at Leila’s funeral, watching from a distance. Leila’s granddaughter greets him and invites him to stay with them for a while. D declines, saying that he simply came to “repay a favor to an old friend, who feared no one would mourn her death.” He admitted he was glad she was wrong. The girl thanks him, and D replies by smiling gently at her, and leaves.
“There, you’re not so bad,” the parasite in D’s hand comments. “You just dress bad.”
Characters
- D (American voice actor: Andrew Philpot; Japanese voice actor: Hideyuki Tanaka): The protagonist of the movie, he was hired by the father of a young human woman named Charlotte after her abduction by count Meier Link. D is a dhampir (although in the films he, along with all other half vampire/half human-kind, is referred to as a dunpeal), with a dark charisma; both D films suggest that he is the son of Dracula and a human female, but he never affirms other characters’ suspicions about his father’s identity, so his true parentage remains cloaked in mystery. D possesses amazing powers and abilities that help him in his profession as a vampire hunter. He can function very well during daylight hours, but prolonged exposure to the sun (”heat sickness” as his parasite calls it) is potentially fatal to him.
- Baron Meier Link: The supposed antagonist, he took Charlotte for reasons unknown in the beginning, however, as the events progress, his motives become clear: he and Charlotte are in love, and they are trying to escape the persecution of their forbidden romance. He gained the respect (and loathing) of both vampires and humans alike as he doesn’t kill without being provoked. Link has powers beyond a vampire of his age, including full regeneration from mortal wounds and a presence that deforms crucifixes, cracks mirrors, and wilts plants.
- The Barbarois: A much feared and little seen tribe of monsters and mutants. While all of them identify themselves as Barbarois- they are in fact a large confederation made up a wide range of creatures. Their skills and reputation allows them to be hired at high prices and they also appear to have a long history of serving vampires. While some consider their work only jobs, other display fierce loyalty to their client. Carmilla hires three very powerful Barbarois to guard Meier Link’s carriage.
- Mashira: With long hair and Arabian-esque clothing, Mashira is a mutant werewolf. He can transform into his wolf form at will. He has very keen senses and hears sounds over great distances. He is probably the most loyal of the three- and is often the first to communicate with Meier.
- Benge: A shroud-encased mutant with a warped sense of humor and a kabuki-like white face and hands. He crafts illusions and ensnares D with a dramatic time-space warping trap. He can expand and flatten himself into a shadow-like darkness, he can move along inside shadows and can actually kill a being by attacking their shadows.
- Caroline: A tall, curvaceous female demon covered in a brilliant layer of green fur (with gold streaks) over parts of her body that converges into a wild mane of similar hair. She can assume the molecular structure of other materials, such as wood or metal, and then manipulate them- such as to cause spikes to jut out from the surface.
- The Marcus Brothers: A group of five vampire hunters hired by Charlotte’s older brother for backup, they consist of four brothers and one (though not blood-related) sister. They compete with D throughout the movie to rescue Charlotte from Link. The brothers are:
- Borgoff: The leader of the group, bites cigars and has a bossy demeanor. He wields a repeating crossbow on his right arm, which is capable of launching hundreds of silver arrows at its target.
- Nolt: A huge-bodied man who uses an enormous war hammer with a silver tip at one end. His face is painted and he seems to be partially cybernetic.
- Kyle: Fights with a pair of boomerang-like blades that turn into crosses and spin on his fingertips; he usually throws wisecracking insults.
- Grove: The fourth brother, he is bed-ridden and is capable of astrally projecting his soul and dealing massive psychic attacks after receiving a special injection. In the movie, Grove is very close to Leila.
- Leila: Conspicuous as the sole woman of the group, although she isn’t related by blood to the Marcus Brothers, they consider her their little sister. She fights using a very powerful gun. Leila joined the Marcus Brothers to avenge her parents, as her father was killed trying to rescue her mother from vampires, who in turn, turned her into a vampire too. The town’s people stoned Leila’s mother to death while a young Leila watched, helpless.
- Charlotte: A young human woman who was abducted by Link. Her father hires D to find her and bring her home, but makes a provision in their contract for D to humanely kill her if she has become a vampire.
- Carmilla: An ancient vampire who resides in the Castle of Chaythe, where Meier and Charlotte go hoping that a still-functional ship can take them away from Earth. Many years earlier, Carmilla’s bloodlust had become so rampant that D’s father, the Lord of Vampires, impaled her in her sleep, leaving her body to rot and her spirit imprisoned within her haunted castle. Carmilla turns out to be the true villain of the film: her invitation to Meier Link and Charlotte is a ruse, and her true intention is to sacrifice Charlotte and steal her body. Her plan is foiled, and she is killed once and for all by D with aid from Link.
