Blood flows as the action in Trinity Blood shifts from Rome and Western Europe to Carthage and Constantinople, the capital of the vampire empire. Esther Blanchett and Abel Nightroad forge an unlikely alliance with the vampire nobles, Asta and Ion. They're working for Cardinal Catherine and the Empress to promote better relations between the Vatican and the Empire. Pitted against them are the troops of the Department of Inquisition; Auto-Jägers, zombies created from vampire corpses; the Empress' Janissaries; and any number of turncoats. Blood, bombs, knives, and shells fly. Apparently forgetting his vow never to kill again, Abel single-handedly destroys two aerial warships and their crews. At times, the plot seems to be careening along like an unattended grocery cart on a steep hill, but no one can deny Trinity Blood delivers plenty of action. (Rated TV 14, suitable for ages 16 and older: graphic violence, grotesque imagery, nudity, tobacco and alcohol use, offensive religious imagery.) --Charles Solomon

5.0 out of 5 stars The Object of the Enemy is Revealed, February 3, 2010

This review is from: Trinity Blood, Chapter IV (Episodes 13-16) (DVD)

The drama becomes more intense as the body count rises and the story progresses with more death, destruction and injuries following Father Nightroad's attempt to arrange a meeting between his boss and a vampire envoy.

This chapter focuses on the events occurring too and around Ion Fortuna. From his growing relationship with Esther to the deaths that surround his family, the story builds more drama as the young Earl's life continues to be plagued with heartbreak.

Later Esther and Nightroad journey to the Empire and are subsequently accused of slaughtering vampire nobles.

Trinity Blood - Chapter IV brings us closer to the Rosen Kruez plans of eliminating the Empress and one step closer to the fate of both the Methuselahs and Terrans.

This review is from: Trinity Blood, Chapter IV (Episodes 13-16) (DVD)

These are the turning point episodes of Trinity Blood, when questions begin to be answered and things start to proceed at full speed.

The first two episodes involve the continuation of what must be the worst few days of Ion Fortuna's life as his allies try to get him to the negotiation table alive. That's only half the problem though, as the last two episodes begin Abel and Esther's journey with him back to Methuselah to report to the Empress and complete his mission - a mission that more than a few don't want to succeed...

This is also an important volume for Esther, as she's forced to come to terms with Abel's dark side and the worst aspects of his being a Krusnik - and starts to form a deep bond against all odds with Ion in spite of her hatred of Methuselah, no longer able to see the essentially gentle young vampire in the same light now that she's gotten to know him.

The arcs revolving around Ion's mission are arguably the best of the entire series, and Trinity Blood fans often point to these episodes as some of their favorites.
