In the fifth episode of the first season of Vandread, titled "Sweet Temptation," the Nirvana crew accidentally grazes a strange planet and becomes infected with a mysterious virus. The virus spreads quickly throughout the ship, and soon everyone but Hibiki and Duero are infected.
The two uninfected members are forced to team up to find a cure before it's too late. As they search the ship for an antidote, they stumble upon a strange chamber filled with various types of food. However, they quickly realize that the food is all an illusion and the chamber is actually a trap set by the enemy.
Meanwhile, the infected crew members are overcome by overwhelming hunger and begin to turn on one another. The situation becomes dire as the virus begins to affect their cognitive abilities, causing them to forget who their allies are and fight one another.
As Hibiki and Duero continue their search, they come across the cause of the virus: a strange creature that has attached itself to the ship. The creature seems to feed off of the conflict and chaos it creates, so Hibiki and Duero must work together to defeat it.
In the end, the two are able to find a cure and save the day, but not without some significant casualties. The episode ends on a somber note, with the crew mourning their lost comrades and reflecting on the impact that conflict and division can have on a group.
Overall, "Sweet Temptation" is a gripping episode that delves into the dangers of division and conflict within a community. It also features some excellent teamwork between Hibiki and Duero as they fight to save their fellow crew members.
