NightWalker (1998)

Night Walker: Mayonaka no Tantei / Night Walker -真夜中の探偵-

Information

Description

NightWalker” is about the vampire Tatsuhiko Shidou. He is ancient and can no longer remember the time when he was human. Back then, he was turned against his will by the vampire Cain. He could not come to terms with the dark side of vampirism and therefore decided to protect humans and fight against the beings of darkness, the so-called “Night Breed”.

He now lives in modern times in Kanagawa Prefecture and works as a private detective. He is assisted in his cases by Yayoi Matsunaga, an agent of the N.O.S., an organisation specialising in fighting the Night Breed. Shidou has done Yayoi a great favour in the past, and they share a deep bond of friendship. Thus she lets him drink her blood, so he doesn’t have to hunt humans. There is also the fairy Guni, who looks like a little green demon, and Riho Yamazaki, a student who lost her parents to the Night Breeds. Riho has no relatives and helps Shidou by keeping order in the office.

Whenever the police are at a loss, Shidou is called in to help because Night Breeds are popping up everywhere. They are demons who take over human bodies and can only feed on human flesh. Shidou helps the humans and kills the demons, yet even he cannot deny that he has a dark side. He also killed humans for blood in the past with Cain, and he knows he must carry that guilt for all eternity. Can he manage to preserve his humanity, and can he bear the responsibility when he himself turns a human into a vampire?
»NightWalker« handelt von dem Vampir Tatsuhiko Shidou. Er ist schon sehr alt und kann sich nicht mehr an die Zeit erinnern, in der er ein Mensch gewesen ist. Damals wurde er gegen seinen Willen von dem Vampir Cain verwandelt. Er konnte sich mit der dunklen Seite des Vampirismus nicht abfinden und hat sich deshalb entschlossen, Menschen zu schützen und gegen die Wesen der Dunkelheit, die sogenannten »Night Breed«, zu kämpfen.

Er lebt nun in der modernen Zeit in der Präfektur Kanagawa und arbeitet als Privatdetektiv. Bei seinen Fällen wird er von Yayoi Matsunaga unterstützt, einer Agentin des N.O.S., einer Organisation, die sich auf die Bekämpfung der Night Breed spezialisiert hat. Shido hat Yayoi in der Vergangenheit einen großen Gefallen getan und sie verbindet ein tiefes Band der Freundschaft, deshalb lässt sie ihn auch ihr Blut trinken, sodass er keine Jagd auf Menschen machen muss. Außerdem sind da noch die Fee Guni, die aussieht wie ein kleiner grüner Dämon, und Riho Yamazaki, eine Schülerin, die ihre Eltern durch die Night Breeds verloren hat. Riho hat keine Verwandten und hilft Shido, indem sie im Büro für Ordnung sorgt.

Immer wenn die Polizei nicht mehr weiter weiß, wird Shido zu Unterstützung gerufen, denn überall tauchen die Night Breeds auf. Sie sind Dämonen, die menschliche Körper übernehmen und sich nur mit Menschenfleisch ernähren können. Shido hilft den Menschen und tötet die Dämonen, trotzdem kann auch er nicht leugnen, dass er eine dunkle Seite hat. In der Vergangenheit mit Cain hat auch er für Blut Menschen getötet und er weiß, dass er diese Schuld für alle Ewigkeit tragen muss. Kann es ihm gelingen, seine Menschlichkeit zu bewahren, und kann er die Verantwortung tragen, wenn er selbst einen Menschen in einen Vampir verwandelt?
