Delico’s Nursery is set to return this Wednesday, October 16, as fans eagerly await the second act of the J.C. Staff anime. Centered around vampiric fathers balancing their supernatural lives with parenthood, the first act left viewers with countless questions. The recently released trailer for Act 2 only heightened anticipation by revealing glimpses of what’s to come and introducing new characters who might play crucial roles in the story.
With the gothic fantasy intensifying, viewers are anxious to see what happens next, especially after the cliffhanger in episode 6. The last episode left off with Pendulum preparing to attack the Vlad estate, where the vampire children of the main characters are waiting to reunite with their fathers. While fans hope for the safety of these children, there are several other key developments that have piqued their interest in the upcoming episodes.
1. The Unclear Motives of Pendulum
Pendulum, the main antagonist group, remains shrouded in mystery. Their agenda is not entirely clear, despite their brutal killings of vampires in the name of the “True Vamp,” a god-like figure within the vampire world. The group seems determined to uncover the location of this entity, heavily protected by the Vlad Agency, but the exact reason for their obsession remains uncertain. Fans are eager to learn what Pendulum truly hopes to gain and the role the True Vamp plays in their plans.
2. The Role of Professor Klaus
Professor Klaus is a mysterious figure who has appeared only briefly in Delico’s Nursery, yet his character seems significant. Often shown gazing at the sky, Klaus’s odd behavior has sparked fan theories suggesting he may be connected to the True Vamp. His brief moments in the story suggest that he’s more than just an eccentric professor, and fans are hoping Act 2 will delve deeper into his relevance.
3. The Fate of Johannes Vlad
Johannes Vlad, the head of the Vlad Agency, has been targeted by Pendulum due to his control over the agency’s members, who are bound by an initiative to keep the True Vamp’s location secret. The Act 2 trailer reveals that Pendulum captures Johannes, possibly forcing him to reveal this vital information. Moreover, the trailer shows the Vlad Agency members in mourning attire, hinting that someone important may have died—possibly Johannes himself.
4. The Mysterious Boy Returns
A dark-haired boy who appeared in the opening credits of Act 1 is seen again in the Act 2 trailer. This character has yet to be introduced in the storyline, leading fans to wonder about his importance. Alongside him is an unnamed girl, and their connection to the existing characters remains a mystery. Viewers are eager to see if this boy will play a crucial role in the upcoming episodes.
5. Dino’s Struggles as a Father
Dino Classico, a proud aristocrat and member of the Vlad Agency, is the least developed character when it comes to his role as a father. His son, Theodore, has been showing signs of a premature Cocoon Phase—a concerning development Dino was unaware of until episode 6. Fans are hoping that Act 2 will show Dino realizing the gravity of his son’s situation and growing into a more attentive father.
6. Will the Vampire Children Be Reunited with Their Fathers?
At the end of episode 6, the vampire children are brought to Johannes Vlad’s estate, thanks to Pendulum member Kiki. However, the Act 2 trailer shows that Pendulum eventually captures the children. Fans are anxiously waiting to see if the fathers will be able to rescue their children and bring them to safety, though the likelihood of a straightforward happy ending seems slim.
7. Raphael’s Jealousy Toward His Younger Brother
Raphael Delico, the eldest son of Dali, has been harboring jealousy toward his baby brother, Ul, due to the attention Ul receives from their father. This jealousy has created a rift between Raphael and Dali, leading to Raphael’s reckless decision to kidnap Ul in a misguided attempt to gain his father’s attention. Fans are hoping Dali will realize the emotional strain his eldest son is under and mend their fractured relationship.
8. The Mystery of Angelico Fra’s Mother
Gerhard Fra’s family situation remains unclear. While other vampiric fathers in the show have established family dynamics, Gerhard’s spouse has yet to be mentioned. Episode 4 hinted at a possible tragedy similar to Dali’s loss of his wife, but fans are hoping for more clarity on Gerhard’s past and how it affects his relationship with his son, Angelico.
9. Theodore’s Need for His Father’s Love
Theodore Classico has been suffering from neglect, and fans have been concerned about the young boy’s emotional wellbeing. He’s been haunted by hallucinations of stuffed animals taunting him about his father’s absence. Now that Dino seems to have started acknowledging his parental shortcomings, viewers are hoping to see Theodore finally receive the love and attention he has been craving.
10. The True Identity of the True Vamp
The True Vamp, the central figure of the conflict in Delico’s Nursery, remains an enigma. Revered as the progenitor of the vampire race, the True Vamp holds tremendous power over all vampires. However, the exact nature of this entity and its role in the story have not been revealed. Fans are eager to uncover the truth behind the True Vamp and why it is treated more like a dangerous weapon than a god.
As Delico’s Nursery Act 2 approaches, fans have high hopes for the continuation of this dark, gothic fantasy. With unresolved mysteries and complex character dynamics, the second act promises to deepen the intrigue and intensity of the series.
