Ep 7. Mitsuba's Squad

In Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign season 1 episode 7, titled Mitsuba's Squad, the audience is introduced to Mitsuba, a haughty and talented fighter who leads her own squad of vampire exterminators. Guren assigns Yu and the rest of his team to work with Mitsuba's squad for an upcoming mission, despite the fact that the two squads have a history of animosity towards each other.

Mitsuba proves to be a difficult leader, constantly berating and belittling her own squad members. She is particularly harsh towards her junior teammate, Shiho. Mitsuba's cold demeanor begins to take a toll on the team's morale, and it becomes clear that their lack of cooperation could prove to be dangerous on the battlefield.

Meanwhile, we are given more insight into the nature of the vampires and their society. We learn that the vampires are divided into clans, and that the powerful progenitor vampires are the key to keeping the other, weaker vampires in check.

The mission quickly turns disastrous as they are ambushed by a pack of powerful vampires. Several team members are injured, and Mitsuba's squad proves to be ineffective in battle. Yu and his squad are forced to step in and take control of the situation, with Yu earning Mitsuba's grudging respect for his leadership and fighting skills.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger, as the team confronts Ferid Bathory, who reveals shocking information about the true nature of the vampires and the military organization that the team has been fighting for.
