Revision as of 17:19, 8 September 2018
Episode (エピソード, Episōdo) is an oddity specialist who specializes in vampire hunting. He acts as a mercenary who is willing to cooperate with other specialists when paid. He is a half-vampire himself.
He is nicknamed Sode by Izuko Gaen.
Appearance
Episode has blonde hair of medium length and not too neatly combed, as well as have sanpaku eyes. He wears a white uniform and wields a giant cross as a weapon.
Despite his appearance, he claims to be six. He's likely gotten an abnormal maturity growth from his parent vampire, which led him to look like a teenager despite being a six year old child.
Personality
Episode is aggressive and arrogant, and as a half-vampire he is openly disgusted by vampires and references to his other prey as: "those who think if they have the powers of mosquitoes, then they are invincible". Shinobu Oshino states half-vampires do not belong anywhere, and consequently hate both humans and vampires. His catchphrase seems to be: "That's hilarious." In the English translation of Kizumonogatari, he says "Gotta love it."
Background
Episode is a half-vampire. Half-vampires, in exchange for an immortality that is weaker than that of a regular vampire, are characterized by not bearing most of a regular vampire's weak points. For example, they can walk under the sun and they can cast a shadow. Normally, half-vampires are not accepted in both humanity and oddity side, so this circumstance leads Episode to hate vampires as well as humans. He acts not entirely because of work but also for personal feelings, so Meme Oshino warned Koyomi Araragi that he wouldn't easily give up like Dramaturgy.
Plot
Koyomi Vamp
This section contains content from Kizumonogatari.
He stole the left leg of Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade in effort to slay her. While confronting Koyomi Araragi along with the other hunters, he is stopped by Meme Oshino, who convinces him to fight Koyomi 1 on 1 in order to learn the location Kiss shot.
In his duel with Koyomi, he fights by throwing his giant cross and teleporting by morphing into mist. As a half-vampire, the weakness of crosses is nullified, so he is able to touch it without being burnt. Koyomi barely manages to dodge each attack, but still is affected by burning cuts that the cross give him.
Tsubasa Hanekawa calls out to help Koyomi before Episode wounds her with his cross. Koyomi flies into a flurry of rage and causes an explosion in the ground, causing debris to prevent Episode from manifest as mist. He gets the jump on him and nearly chokes him to death before Oshino stops him. Koyomi runs back to Hanekawa and saves her using his vampire blood to heal her. After wards, Episode returns the leg as promised.
In the novel, he helps clean up afterwards and apologizes for getting too excited and hurting his friend.
