Cover Details
Volume 22's cover features all vampire nobles. Ferid holds a Sinful Key, of which the object may be black with red tints in part, or it may be for emphasis where this feature image is concerned. Next to him, Crowley stands nearby with his sword drawn, which is apparently being powered by his blood on account of the red coloration.

Vampire progenitors are also present in their own scenario, where Urd stands in the center with Ky Luc and Lest Karr flanking him on either side. Lest Karr is on Urd's right side, with Ky Luc on his left where both are positioned lower in comparison. All three are darkened by shadows, where their red eyes are glowing somewhat. A red emanation is around them, which appears to be present to distinguish them on the cover, they are not depicted as emitting this aura in the story.

Setting wise, the characters are all within an alleyway, a scenario explored in chapter 91 and chapter 92. Where Ferid and Crowley have been confronted by Urd with Lest Karr and Ky Luc, they were there to begin with having tracked Saitō to the alleyway in the aftermath of the war in Shibuya. Unseen in the image, considering the scenario, Saito's upper torso with Chains coming out would be lying nearby on the ground.
