The first question that comes to mind is, does Vanitas die? Well, the answer is yes. In the first chapter of the manga and the first episode of the anime, Noe kills Vanitas. It’s a shocking revelation that sets the tone for the story.

But why does Noe kill Vanitas? This question lingers in our minds. In chapter 11, Noe mentions memories of the beginning and the end. It raises the possibility that there are two separate events leading to Vanitas’s death.

Vanitas, on the other hand, makes a cryptic statement that he won’t die, even if he’s no longer present. Could it be a reassurance to Noe? Perhaps he means that he’ll be stuck in a place like this, unable to move on. Noe couldn’t grab Vanitas’s hand, leaving him trapped.

However, Noe wouldn’t willingly abandon Vanitas, despite their current rocky relationship. Future-Noe regrets not helping Vanitas and hopes to mend their relationship. So, why doesn’t Noe save Vanitas? It might not be his choice. He could be too late to the scene, manipulated, or bound by an oath thanks to Lord Ruthven.

As Future-Noe writes “Les Mémoires de Vanitas,” he reflects on what could have been done differently to save Vanitas. He blames himself for the outcome.

Let’s dig deeper into the clues. In one panel, a smirking person with long white hair is present. The hair reminds me of Luna or Vanitas, the Vampire of Blue Moon. This person might be connected to the situation.

Noe’s mention of not grabbing Vanitas’s hand could also be a metaphorical way of saying that he didn’t help Vanitas or let him face something alone, leading to his death.

Based on these clues, here’s my theory: Vanitas wasn’t himself before his death. He was either possessed or on the verge of losing himself. When Vanitas revealed that he was an ordinary human who inherited the Book of Vanitas from the original vampire, it raised questions about how a human could manipulate formulas. The answer came in the form of the ball in chapter 7, where Vanitas gained powers through a bite mark.

Of course, with great power comes great responsibility, or in this case, drawbacks. Something was meant to make Vanitas’s life harder. Noe noticed that Vanitas gave up something for revenge on V!Vanitas, the vampire who helped others. In chapter 42, we learn that Vanitas will be rewritten because of his power.

The exact details are unclear. Could he become a vampire? Possibly. We don’t know Luna’s process of transforming Mikhail into one. However, I believe that Luna’s actions resulted in Mikhail becoming a vampire and Vanitas remaining human.

Luna didn’t want Vanitas to die, so she found a way to save him and allow him to live as a human. This selfless act is what Vanitas blames and hates himself for.

Although Vanitas can use his powers, there are limits. Once he reaches those limits, there’s no turning back. According to Luna, due to Moreau’s experiments, both Mikhail’s and Vanitas’s conditions are unstable. They’re neither fully human nor vampire. Mikhail is now safe because he has been transformed, but Vanitas remains in danger.

I speculate that after reaching his limits, Vanitas can’t stay human but also can’t become a vampire. He will become corrupted in a similar way to Luna. This corrupted state will cause Noe to kill him. Vanitas’s consciousness will remain partially alive but stuck between realms.

Noe blames himself for not noticing that Vanitas was suffering. It’s a heartbreaking revelation that adds depth to their relationship.

In conclusion, Vanitas does die, but the circumstances surrounding his death are complex and intertwined with the supernatural. The story keeps us on the edge of our seats, wondering how it will all unfold.
