Jeanne (The Case Study of Vanitas)

Jeanne was a bourreau, a vampire burdened with hunting and executing members of her own kind as recompense for the sins of her ancestors. She slaughtered over a thousand vampires in the war between humanity and her kin, and was placed into an century-long induced coma by her master August Ruthven. After her awakening, Jeanne became the Chevalier to Ruthven's nephew, Luca Oriflamme, whom she regarded with great affection.

Jeanne is voiced by Inori Minase in Japanese and by Molly Searcy in English. Minase has also voiced Rem in Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World , Hestia in Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? , Shoko Makinohara in Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai , Itsuki Nakano in The Quintessential Quintuplets , and Chino Kafū in Is the Order a Rabbit? . Searcy has also voiced Akame in Akame ga Kill! .

• Jeanne was named after the historical figure Jeanne d'Arc , better known as "Joan of Arc." Jeanne was a 15th century French peasant considered a hero of the Hundred Years' War. She was eventually put to death on charges of heresy at the age of nineteen.

Synopsis [ ]

Vanitas calls out to Noé , who doesn’t respond and just continues storming off. Vanitas continues to call Noé, until the Vampire finally responds. Vanitas asks if Noé knows where to go, and Noé replies he doesn’t, to Vanitas’s exasperation. He grabs Noé by the collar and tells him to calm down, irritating the Vampire. Noé flinches as he’s hit in the face with something, a moving and flapping creature. He takes it in his hands and identifies it as a bat. It flies out of his hands to a man standing nearby—the same man, Noé recognizes, who was with Vanitas on the airship. Vanitas yells out to the man, Dante , and angrily snaps at him for leaving Amelia behind to run away on his own. Dante retorts that their contract never included protecting their target. The two bark at one another, leaving Noé confused as he watches them, until Vanitas introduces the other. Dante is the information broker that Vanitas frequently works with, willing to do any work for a good price. Dante is surprised that Vanitas is with Noé, who remembers Dante as “Baldy” in Vanitas’s words, to Dante’s irritation. Vanitas brags to Dante about replacing him as a “shield,” to which Dante snaps that he never was, calling Noé stronger, sturdier, and cheaper than Dante. Noé is only irritated to be called Vanitas’s “partner.” Arrogantly, Vanitas tells Dante to earn his keepings elsewhere as he no longer needs him. Dante calls it “a real shame” as he had just found out where the “Ninefold Murderer” is and came to tell Vanitas. Vanitas sinks to his knees and clings to Dante’s leg, praising the other’s greatness, while a crowd of onlookers stares at them in distress.

Dante instructs Noé to simply follow his bat, as Dante’s friend is tailing the culprit and the bat perched on Noé’s finger will lead them to said friend. Vanitas stares teary-eyed at his now empty wallet and snaps at Dante’s steep price, to which Dante retorts that the information he sold is something not even Count Orlok had. As they bicker, Noé peers around himself, then deduces the fastest way to be “over the top.” Noé picks Vanitas up, carries him as if he were luggage, and leaps up the balconies of several floors until he reaches the rooftops of the city. Vanitas screams at they go upward. Dante watches them in shock. Landing smoothly on the roof with Vanitas still tucked under his arm, Noé releases the bat for them to follow and urges them to hurry along. All Vanitas can do is dazedly agree and be carried and Noé races down rooftop to rooftop.

Dante down below watches them go with confusion. A voice speaks up behind him, asking if that man with a “dishy” face was “Vanitas.” Dante turns around and regards the newcomer with irritation: Johann , who had followed him there. Johann declares that he just learned some information and came to share it with Dante. Johann pulls Dante in close and tells him— Lord Ruthven ’s Bourreau is in Paris . Dante pales in shock. Johann surmises they’ve come after the Book of Vanitas , and laughs that Dante’s friend might end up killed.

“ Thomas Berneux ,” Vanitas says, catching Noé’s attention. As they race along the rooftops, Vanitas explains to Noé. He is the Vampire who appeared two months ago in Paris and went on a killing spree, with nine victims under his belt already. Vanitas already has information on the man as he’d been chasing after him, up until he received a letter from Amelia Ruth. Noé recalls Amelia telling him she came to see a doctor, and realizes that that was Vanitas. The letter Vanitas received detailed Amelia’s symptoms, making the human realize she could break out violently at any moment, so he placed his pursuit of the Ninefold Murderer on hold and went to La Baleine to where Amelia was. From information of the previous murders he’d done, Vanitas deduces Thomas Berneux’s fits to be cyclical, so it’s likely he’ll once again make an appearance that day. As if on cue, an explosion bursts from a distance away beyond the cityscape. Vanitas identifies the location as the riverside factory district and tells Noé to hurry. Noé sprints for the site.

At said district, a young woman with a short ponytail and glasses runs through the streets—Dante’s comrade, Riche. She leaps out of the way just as a monstrous, hungry figure slams his clawed hand into the ground, causing it to explode from under her feet. She’s sent rolling onto her side, and the figure rises from the rubble slowly advancing on her in hunger. Riche backs away in fear. The two arrive in time to see this and Vanitas identifies the man as Thomas Berneux, ordering Noé to stop him. Noé snaps into action as ordered, and starts to rear up his arm holding Vanitas. Vanitas goes pale. Noé uses all his strength and throws Vanitas like a dart right for the man. Vanitas hits Thomas Berneux dead on, making him stagger, and bounces off to crash into a pile of crates. Vanitas rises up from the crates with a nosebleed and snaps at Noé.

By the time Vanitas has turned around, Noé has Thomax Berneux restrained on the ground. Vanitas orders to keep him pinned, and whips out the Book. He activates its power, shining a flash of blue light that surges at the man. Blue energy flares brightly, blindingly, leaving Thomas Berneux lying still on the ground. Vanitas explains that he temporarily paralyzed the man, so the only thing left for them is to bring him back to Orlok. Noé breathes a sigh of relief, the matter settled so quickly, meaning they’ll be able to save Amelia. They help Riche up, and Vanitas identifies her as Dante’s friend who had been tailing the target only to end up lured into a trap herself. She thanks them for saving her, while Noé looks around for something to act as a restraint. He looks over—and pauses. He calls Vanitas, and together they face against a pair of footsteps steadily approaching them.

From the shadows, someone appears, praising their incapacitation of a curse-bearer. The person steps out of the shadows—two people. A young boy in a hat and a dark-colored cloak, and trailing behind him a taller figure in a white cloak carrying a black coffin on her back larger than herself. They introduce themselves as Luca and Jeanne . Noé is surprised to see a child, while Vanitas asks what race they are. Luca bares his fangs briefly, answering they are Vampires. Luca then goes on to ask a favor and, being both polite and demanding all at once, requests to be given the Book of Vanitas. Vanitas stares for a moment, then instantly refuses with a mocking grin—the Book isn’t a toy for “little kids” like Luca. Jeanne explodes in a wave of malice. The sheer hatred and rage is almost visible, and Vanitas and Noé both stare wide-eyed at her furious expression from underneath her hood.

Vanitas asks why Luca wants the Book, if he even understands what it is. Luca answers: the Book is referred to as “an analytical engine in the shape of a book.” It’s able to interfere with Vampires’ True Names , said to bring destruction to their entire race, an evil device that creates curse-bearers out of Vampires. Noé is shocked to hear this. Vanitas is as well, though he seems more amused by the idea, that he’s spreading the “curse” around with his Book. Luca even suggest that Vanitas himself is a victim of the Book’s power and has been unconsciously used by it from the moment he opened it up. Vanitas twitches at this, a dark look coming over his eyes. And so, Luca declares that, on top of punishing the bearer as in Vanitas himself, the right thing to do would be to dispose of the Book of Vanitas properly. Noé protests that the Book can’t be destroyed, to Vanitas’s delight. Noé adds on that he doesn’t care what they do to Vanitas, annoying the human. Noé tries to urge them along and discuss things another time, due to their situation with Thomas Berneux.

Luca snaps—he has no time either. As they stare in shock, Luca trembles and claims that someone precious to him is suffering as a curse-bearer, and the only way to save him is to destroy the Book. Luca begs them to give him the Book. Vanitas scoffs and calls that story complete nonsense, to Luca’s surprise. Vanitas explains properly: he is a doctor who uses the Book’s power to save Vampires, so if Luca wants his precious person to be saved then Vanitas will heal him for them. Luca snaps at this—that the curse of the Vampire of the Blue Moon is the reason his older brother is suffering. Jeanne calls to Luca. Luca gasps and snaps his mouth shut, turning pale in an instant. Vanitas absorbs this with interest, that Luca’s brother is a curse-bearer.

Jeanne appears before Vanitas in an instant. Noé pulls Vanitas out of the way just as Jeanne slams her coffin to the ground, making the cobblestone underneath explode. Noé and Vanitas regard her with shock, as does Luca. Jeanne, eyes red and fangs bared, insists that talking any further won’t do them any good, and requests she be given an order. Jeanne swipes at the two of them, Noé jumping backwards and Vanitas ducking under. He pulls out his knife and whips its wire at Jeanne, striking her in the face and tearing her hooded cloak off her. Jeanne steps back, and Luca calls to her in concern. Jeanne, hood off and face revealed to the open, looks up.

Golden eyes, white hair, a pale countenance. A deathly fierce expression on her beautiful face. Noé stares at her, stunned, as does Vanitas.

For a moment, the four of them remain silent in their standstill. Luca once again tries to ask Vanitas to surrender the Book of Vanitas to him. Vanitas only smiles thinly in response. Luca’s eyes are full of regret. He grimaces and reluctantly calls to Jeanne. She confirms that she’ll do her best to keep him alive, to which Luca says, “Please.” Jeanne snaps open the latches on her coffin. Luca gives his order to her—take the Book of Vanitas. Vanitas’s eyes widen in shock. Jeanne’s coffin has opened, revealing the object residing in it. An enormous armored claw of a gauntlet, colored a bright bloody red, made of shining metal, and baring vicious claws. In the center of its palm is a glowing point like an ember about to spark. Jeanne speaks, “Oui, votre altesse.” (Yes, your highness.)

Vanitas grits his teeth and pales—a Crimson Gauntlet, he identifies. Jeanne starts to release the Gauntlet. Vanitas urges Noé to run, to the Vampire’s confusion. The woman, Jeanne, is Lord Ruthven’s Bourreau. Noé is completely lost. Vanitas snaps at him for being such a “country bumpkin.” Vanitas runs as fast as he can, making Noé follow, and explains as they desperately flee. Long ago while the War was still waging on, over a thousand Vampires would betray their own race to side with humans. They were all singularly wiped out by a single Bourreau. A woman who wields the Crimson Gauntlet named “ Carpe Diem ,” the kin-slayer with the name of a saint.

The “Hellfire Witch,” Jeanne.

Jeanne wields her Gauntlet. She charges its deadly, ferocious, brutal power. She begins to thrust the Gauntlet forward, as Vanitas and Noé continue to run with growing alarm. Jeanne attacks. Lashes of her power tear up the street underneath them, turning the ground to rubble and dust, throwing Vanitas and Noé off their feet, and even tossing away the bystanders such as Riche and the still-unconscious Thomas Berneux. Jeanne launches an attack towards Vanitas again. Vanitas grins with dread, and guesses accurately that she doesn’t intend at all to keep him alive. Noé jumps between Vanitas and Jeanne. He grabs her Gauntlet and snares it in his arms, refusing to let Vanitas die on him just yet. Noé’s eyes widen, and he’s flipped over and thrown upside-down. Jeanne glares at him and begins pulling out a blade behind her. Jeanne is stopped, Noé drops to the ground, Vanitas has her blade snared by his wire. Jeanne glares. Her Gauntlet begins to click and whir, coming to life, a blazing heat building up inside. Vanitas yells at Noé to run.

A fire lights up the streets of Paris. Its flames are so massive they climb up high above the tops of the buildings, for a moment turning the city into a bright, flaring red. The fire subsides, Jeanne’s Gauntlet left smoking from its exertion of power, swirls of ash surrounding where she stands. Noé kneels nearby, fortunately untouched by the flames. Jeanne glares at him beyond her hissing Gauntlet. She looks around for where Vanitas went, only to find something rolling at her feet. A flashbang. It goes off, blinding her for a half-second, and when the light fades, no one is there, only the empty streets filled with ash and smoke. Jeanne grits her teeth.

Noé and Vanitas escape and run into an empty factory. Noé is amazed by the power of the weapon he’d just witnessed, which Vanitas snaps at him for. A chain of distant booms approach them from outside, getting louder and louder as it gets closer. The wall in front of them explodes. Jeanne bursts through, destroying all in her path with her Gauntlet. Noé shoves Vanitas back, just as Jeanne attacks once again with the Gauntlet. Its claws strike Noé, raking long slashes into his side. Vanitas yells for him. Luca runs in through the hole in the wall, calling for Jeanne, and she stops. Vanitas and Noé take this chance to escape. Jeanne kneels down to Luca and begs him to head somewhere safe, but Luca won’t let her finish. Luca grasps her face in his hands and reminds her firmly, desperately—she can’t kill. She is not a Bourreau anymore, she is his chevalier. Jeanne stares at her master with wide eyes. She lowers her head, filled with emotion, and apologizes.

Inside another empty factory, Vanitas and Noé have settled down to rest and hide. Vanitas urges Noé to take his coat off so he can treat his wounds. Noé is unconcerned, insisting that the bleeding will stop by itself in due time. Vanitas is exasperated despite Vampires’ accelerated healing rate. They’re both exhausted after the fight. Noé bemoans, with Count Orlok and now Luca and Jeanne, “city Vampires” according to him seem to not listen to when other people speak. Vanitas is unsurprised however, as all Vampires in his experience react in such a way to the Book of Vanitas. The knowledge and fear of the Vampire of the Blue Moon is deeply intwined in Vampire society, so whenever Vanitas meets a patient, he doesn’t tell them about the Book or even give them his name. And most curse-bearers believe their Malnomen is the curse of Vanitas as well. Noé stares at the human, silently disconcerted. Vanitas admits that Luca’s words aren’t entirely wrong. The Book of Vanitas indeed interferes with Vampires’ True Names. Depending on how the Book is used—interfering with Malnomen to restore True Names is Vanitas’s “treatment,” or the reverse of warping True Names into Malnomen—of course Vampires as a whole will fear its power.

Noé says—whether he can and whether he did are completely different situations. Vanitas stares at Noé. Even if the original purpose for creating the Book of Vanitas was to create Malnomen and destroy Vampires, Noé cannot deny what he saw with his own eyes. Vanitas used the Book to save Amelia. And to Noé, that was something overwhelmingly “right.”

Vanitas… makes a defeated expression. As if he’s come to a realization. As if he’s given up.

Vanitas and Noé stare at each other for a silent second. Noé continues on, that he wants to hurry back to save Amelia, only for Vanitas to burst into uproarious laughter. Noé angrily clamps a hand over his mouth to prevent them from being found, but Vanitas just continues to laugh from behind his palm. Vanitas pulls Noé’s hand off him with mirth. He calls the Vampire “an interesting fellow.” Vanitas continues to smile darkly, even as Noé is left confused. Vanitas suddenly rises up, declaring that he’s ready. He’s unsure if it’ll properly work, but it’s the fastest and most efficient method they have. Noé still doesn’t know what Vanitas means, only for Vanitas to jab a finger in his face. He declares—he has only one .

One way to win against the “Hellfire Witch.”

English Dub Review: The Case Study of Vanitas “The Witch and the Young Man”

Overview (Spoilers Below):

Jeanne treats Vanitas for his poisoning, and the two of them spend an embarrassingly cozy night together. In the morning, Johann arrives looking for Dante, who soon shows up with the news that Noe has been captured by the witch and her minion. The group sets off in search of her castle while Astolfo departs for the  same destination. Meanwhile, Noe awakens in the witch’s castle to find his blood being sucked by Chloe. Later on, he goes down to eat and sees a scary sight: strange-looking automatons… and Charlatan?!

The first episode of the second half of The Case Study of Vanitas was kind of a disappointment for me. After 12 episodes of steampunk urban adventures, I was excited to get into the witchy haunted forest vibes, but they didn’t last for very long in last week’s premiere. Thankfully, they come back again in The Witch and the Young Man in the form of Chloe. But before we get to the spookiness, we have to get past the steaminess.

For the first five minutes of the episode, we’re treated to the aftermath of Vanitas and Jeanne’s battle with Astalfo. It involves a lot of fan service for those who ship the two of them, which means it was pretty boring for me. I had hoped we were done with this kind of romantic foolishness between them after the drag of an episode last season where Jeanne agreed to go on a date with Vanitas in hopes that it would end his fascination with her, but alas. Their night alone in the cabin is really dumb, and features highlights like taking off their clothes and sharing a single blanket to stay warm, and drinking water out of each other’s mouths. It kind of feels like there are two shows mixed into one with Vanitas, and this segment was not from the creepy mystery show.

Luckily, everything after the Jeanne/Vanitas junk is pretty good. Johann, Jeanne, and Vanitas reunite with Dante at the cabin, who tells them that he saw Noe being captured by the witch, A.K.A Chloe. Apparently Jeanne visited her once when she was little, and promised to come see her again. But the next time she did was while working as a Dham and with the mission to capture her. Jeanne is fairly certain that her old acquaintance is the Beast, and so is Vanitas. He storms off in a hurry to find Noe, which will be endearing to some, but not to me because Vanitas is probably my least favorite character in the show.

While all that was going on, Noe wakes up in a strange bed to find Chloe sucking his blood. It’s a very strange scene that I did not enjoy. It seems like the show is trying to play it off half jokingly and half as a kind of rape? Noe repeatedly tells her not to suck his blood and that it’s illegal to do so without consent, but Chloe goes ahead and does it anyway until her caretaker/butler guy puts a stop to it, while also saying he might kill Noe because he only wants Chloe to drink his blood. It’s all very icky but not exactly surprising coming from the sexy vampire show.

Despite the fact that this episode had a lot of ups and downs for me, I do have more faith in the direction this half of the show is going now. Between Astolfo, Jeanne, and the Witch, there’s definitely plenty of interesting plot to unfold in the coming weeks. I think I’m most curious about Chloe and her whole situation as the Beast (although after that incident with Noe, I’m definitely not on her side anymore.) It seems like she and her assistant dude have a sort of Let The Right One In relationship going on maybe, which could be fun to see. One thing that won’t be fun to see is Vanitas’s face if he realizes how Chloe is treating Noe.

Vermin is great! I still wonder what happened with future seasons; Bobbypills had season 2 and I think maybe even season 3 listed as projects on their site for a long time, but not anymore.

I don't understand why they didn't release the dub at the same time as the sub when it literally was released at the same time in some other regions. If they had been holding it back for Toonami, that would have at least sort of made sense even it would be kind of stupid, but given this news, there doesn't seem to have really been any point at all now.
