Grandpa is creepy as hell, locked away in his basement, but the best part is that he's somehow immortal. He convinces (hypnotises??) Takumi to help him capture Bloody and to bring him to his lair for... nefarious reasons undoubtedly. Meanwhile, Ichiro continues with his research, looking for information on how to unlock his exorcism ability, only to find strange pictures of himself as a child, hooked up to machines and vats.We also meet another new character, Hydra (a vampire), who seems to know a lot about Bloody's past but who also wants him dead. She promises Ichiro to help him with his quest if he agrees to help her kill Bloody. Seeing as how Bloody wants to die anyway, it's an easy arrangement. Vol. 2 picked up considerably from vol. 1 and added lots of plot points and mystery to the story. The new characters are interesting, and Yzak in particular is one to watch for. He knows way more than he lets on.
