The Guinea Pigs Gather

The Guinea Pigs Gather is the eighty-fifth chapter of the Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign manga series, written by Takaya Kagami and illustrated by Yamato Yamamoto.

Short Summary
Guren and co successfully manage to seal Shikama Dōji who initially quipped that he could resist the sealing but didn't out of concern for his vessel, Shinoa. Mahiru catches Shinoa who momentarily awakens to recognize her then notices Guren's demon transmogrification. However, Guren simply jumps to where Yūichirō is and kills his escorts. Mikaela looks on while some distance away, Krul laments.

In Ancient Greece, Noya, Krul, and Ashera look at the corpse of "Mikaela" when a young Yūichirō finds them. Much to Krul and Ashera's dismay, Noya allows Yūichirō to see "Mikaela" before killing him. He then admonishes them that they were here for a purpose.

In the present, Mikaela struggles to find the correct answer as he watches Yūichirō and Guren converse. Elsewhere, the chains that bound Shinya and the others finally disappears and they resolve to find Guren. Guren, meanwhile, contemplates his current power and gags Yūichirō which pushes Mikaela into action although he is interrupted by Mahiru. Mikaela and Mahiru fight before Mikaela retreats to save Yūichirō.

Guren releases Noya from his Cursed Gear who then spots Yūichirō and rejoices, wondering if the First had successfully managed to get human creation down perfectly. He turns to address Ashera (as Asuramaru) but before he could reach the blade, Mikaela cuts Yūichirō free and calls Asuramaru to him while Noya looks on jubilantly, contemplating the adult "Mikaela".
