Hero of the Week: Arystar Krory

D.Gray-man may be on hold, but that won't stop us from talking about the series' naive but badass vampire exorcist. I could only be talking about the man with the blood sucking innocence, Arystar Krory.













Believed to be a villain at first, Krory is blamed for the disappearances of several villagers in a little town in Romania. After finding out his lover was the true villain, he becomes an exorcist, aiding Allen and the group on multiple occasions. As he struggles to get used to his new life as an exorcist and without the woman he loved, Eliade, we are treated with some amusing scenes all while learning of the hidden depth of the young vampire.

He also isn't too shabby in a fight. He has a surprisingly versatile fighting style. With his ability to suck the blood of the akuma as well as inject his friends with an antidote to those infected with the akuma virus. Of course this isn't all he can do as seen in his fight against Jasdevi. Take a look.



Did you just see that!? Even after being trapped by an iron maiden, he had his blood leave his body and REFORM AS A BODY OF BLOOD! Not only is that one of the most painful and badass things in the world; it's also one of the most unique powers in the history of shonen.

With D.Gray-man returning soon, I hope to see more of Krory. He may have already had his time in the spot light, but that doesn't mean the spotlight won't come back for him. Let's hope when that happens, his blood form will make another appearance.
