In May 2006, Bill Kong, producer of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero, announced that he was producing a live-action film adaptation of Blood: The Last Vampire, directed by Ronny Yu, and, like the source anime film, primarily filmed in English rather than Japanese.[21] The film's setting is 1970 at a United States Air Force Base in Tokyo, during the Vietnam War. Early reports indicated that the film's plot will feature Saya as a 400-year-old half human-half vampire who hunts full blooded vampires, both to rid the world of them and as they are her only source for food. She works with an organization known only as "The Council". Normally a loner, Saya forms a friendship with a young girl she meets at an American military base while preparing to battle Onigen, the highest ranking of the vampires.[22][23]

An international co-production of France, Hong Kong, China, Japan and the United States, the film is a live-action adaptation of the anime film of the same name created and produced by studio Production I.G. Like its source material, the film focuses on a half-human, half-vampire girl named Saya (Ji-hyun) who hunts full-blooded vampires in partnership with humans and seeks to destroy Onigen, the most powerful of vampires.

In 1970s Tokyo, Saya is a 400-year-old half human-half vampire who hunts vampires. Raised by a man named Kato, she works loosely with an organisation known as "The Council", a secret society that has been hunting vampires for centuries. Saya's motivation goes beyond duty; she wants revenge: Onigen, the oldest of the vampires, murdered her father. For her next mission, she goes undercover as a student at Kanto High School on an American air base near Fussa.

When she is introduced in her class, Saya's appearance quickly attracts the negative attention of a female classmate, Sharon. The daughter of the base's general, Alice McKee, is also bothered with the attention. At her school, she finds herself being mocked. Alice is asked by her Kendo instructor Powell to stay for the Kendo practice due to her poor performance. As soon as the teacher leaves, she finds herself at the mercy of Sharon and her sidekick friend who wield sharp bladed katanas to taunt and torment her. Saya shows up just in time to stop Sharon from slashing Alice's throat. Despite Saya's effort to disguise her activity, Alice sees Sharon and her friend being butchered. However it is soon revealed that Sharon and her friend are vampires in disguise.

Because "The Council" cleans up the bodies of the demons, Alice's father does not believe her story. Determined to make her own investigation, Alice goes to the bar where her Kendo instructor usually hangs out. To her horror her instructor, as well as the rest of the people in the bar, turn out to be vampires. Once again Saya comes to her rescue and has to fight off hordes of vampires surrounding them.

In their pursuit, Alice and Saya are run off the side of the road by an attacking demon and they fall into a ravine. When Alice and Saya awaken they are in Ancient Japan where Saya was raised. Onigen appears, reveals her true identity as Saya's mother, and fights Saya. Saya slays Onigen. Alice, who is injured during the fighting, wakes up to find herself at the wreckage of the truck and being carried into an ambulance. Later she is interviewed about the events surrounding her father's death, but her interviewer does not believe her story about the vampires or the Council. When asked about where Saya is, Alice answers that she is "searching for a way back from the other side of the looking glass".

Variety's Peter Debruge was critical of editor Marco Cave for "reducing all but one of the fight scenes into a flurry of cuts", and described the CG effects as "herky-jerky". Commenting on the direction, he said, "Nahon privileges surface appeal and kinetic energy over narrative logic, and finesses the footage with an unpleasant yellow tinge that gives everything a vintage chopsocky feel".[19] Felix Vasquez, Jr. of Cinema Crazed praised the film as "blockbuster material", finding the film's special effects to be "top notch" and Nahon's direction as "often times beautiful as he convinces us successfully that we're watching a vampire period piece". Conversely, he felt the film lacked a real story, focusing mostly on sword-fights, and that the character of Alice was "dead weight" and a token character added to avoid the film being completely Asian.[20]

Saya is the primary character and is, as the movie describes, the last 'original' vampire. Saya's personality is dark, mysterious and frequently threatening. She prefers solitude over the company of others, regardless of age. At first she does not appear to have any supernatural powers. She is not weak against sunlight, cannot transform and does not even have large fangs. However she does show an aversion to religious icons, can hear the roars of the chiropterans when no-one else can and shows superhuman strength - at one stage she grabs Lewis by the face and holds him in the air. Despite this she is not without feeling, as she saves nurse Makiho(though why is never found out). Though she holds most humans in contempt, she seems to have some sort of respect for David. In one of the most memorable scenes in the OVA, Saya stands over a vampire she has just attacked which now lies dying in the middle of a runway. She stretches out her bleeding hand and allows the monster a few drops of her blood before it expires. This is the only time in the movie Saya smiles.

David is Saya's primary handler. Despite their formal appearance the two have developed a subtle but strong bond of trust. One of the most striking scenes in the movie was Saya's fight against the vampire which pinned her down in the burning building. Once nurse breaks through the locked doors using an army vehicle she manages to kick the vampire off her and David rushes to her aid - with the vampire rushing up behind her Saya cries "Sword!" and David throws it towards her. In a single swift movement Saya grabs it by the handle and slices it straight through the Chiropteran. Thus a combination of her skill and David's quick-thinking saved her life.


Saya is the main character of the film Blood: The Last Vampire. She appears to be a young human girl of Japanese origin, but throughout the film it is hinted that she is, in fact, a vampire, the last original vampire left in the world. It is also implied that she may be a dhampir, a human-vampire hybrid. However, her past remains largely unknown.

Though related to vampires, Saya does not display any of the traits commonly associated with vampires. She does not have elongated fangs and does not consume human blood; she instead feeds on chiropterans. As far as supernatural abilities go, Saya does not age and may be biologically immortal. However, this seems to be her only vampiric power: she cannot fly or shape-shift and her strength and fighting ability seem to be the result of years of rigorous training rather than supernaturally inherent. Saya also does not share any of the common vampire weaknesses such as garlic or sunlight, though she expresses great disdain for religious symbols and hates when people talk about God in her presence.

In Japan, the vampire-hunter Saya, who is a powerful original, is sent by her liaison with the government, David, posed as a teenage student to the Yokota High School on the eve of Halloween to hunt down vampires. Saya asks David to give a new katana to her. Soon she saves the school nurse Makiho Amano from two vampires disguised of classmates and Makiho witnesses her fight against the powerful demon.

The Manga Contains Examples of: Ambiguous Ending: Possibly bordering on Downer Ending. To make a long story short, Akiko is manipulated into murdering her entire family and is rendered into a catatonic state and hospitalized. Maya reveals the truth behind Saya's past and offers Saya to either eat her and become "complete" vampire or let Maya kill her. Maya's body is never found and Saya's handler promptly chews her out for this and threatens to discard her. Cut to a woman that could either be Saya or Maya walking the streets and two panels of the handlers remains... Bleached Underpants: The artist, Benkyo Tamaoki, also did several short stories for hentai anthologies. Car Cushion: Used when Saya jumps off the roof of the school. Domestic Abuse: In the manga, Maya to Akiko. Eventually manipulating the poor girl to murder her entire family. Hotter and Sexier: The original anime film had virtually no sex or nudity in it. This changed a great deal in the manga. Meaningful Name: Akiko's name sounds similar to Mahiko, with both having the same last syllable. Theme Twin Naming: Saya and Maya. The Un-Favourite: Akiko felt that her parents loved her younger sister more. Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Akiko eventually slides into this due to Maya's influence.

The 2009 movie Contains Examples of: Absurd Cutting Power: Saya cuts rocks thrown at her in half with her Katana, and contrary to what one would expect isn't left with a broken sword but a perfectly sharp blade afterwards. Alice Allusion: Alice McKee's name is derived from Alice in Wonderland for her first name (for Alice, it means she gets mixed up in a supernatural world; for Saya, both Saya & the story's Alice are lost girls in a world that is strange to them), and her last name is from the first syllables of Mahiko, who she replaces in the live-action adaptation. It also might be referencing how this Alice gets a "key" into "wonderland". Audible Sharpness: All over the place. At one point Saya's sword makes noise in its sheath. Badass Long Coat: Saya has one in the beginning of the movie. Later she dresses as a Joshikousei. Big Bad: Onigen, the leader of the Chiropterans attacking the school in the live-action movie. Bullet Time: The movie sure loves this for the action scenes, almost every move Saya makes is shown in slow motion. Visual Shout-Out (or blatant rip-off) to The Matrix occur when both Saya and Onigen perform the famous dodge by bending over backwards. The Dragon: One Eye is this for Onigen in the movie, considering that it was him who killed Saya's mentor, this is kinda expected. Interesting Situation Duel: Saya battles The Dragon on a truck stuck between two cliffsides, saving her friend from falling down in between swordstrokes. Luke, I Am Your Father: Onigen is Saya's mother. Or possibly she's just messing with Saya. Mythology Gag: Saya's mother is Onigen, the leader of the Chiropterans, similar to how Saya from Blood+ is the most recent descendant (along with Diva) of a line of Chiropteran Queens. Shout-Out: Alice McKee is the adaptation's version of Makiho, highlighting that she's just an ordinary person that goes Down the Rabbit Hole when she gets mixed up in one of Saya's missions. At the end of the movie when asked if she knows the whereabouts of Saya, Alice answers that she is "searching for a way back from the other side of the looking glass." (as in, describing Saya as a lost girl like the Alice from the story). be457b7860
