Kabaneri theories by two biology nerds

Ok, I am rewatching Koutetsujou no Kabaneri and my friend is watching it for the first time with me, and we are both biology nerds, so we are trying to work out how exactly the kabane, and therefor kabaneri, work. I will be posting our thoughts and theories one episode at a time, so please keep reading these. And if you haven't watched this anime, it's great, so watch it as the fandom is too small.

Right, so in episode one we basically were just trying to work out if it is a virus/bacteria, or a parasite. We don't think it would be a virus or bacteria, as those tend to kill the hosts pretty quickly, and some of the kabane have been alive for decades. They also often make the host physically weaker, and that is clearly not the case.

So we are onto parasites. Firstly, we needed to determine if it was a parasite or parasitoid (parasitoids kill the host and parasites don't). Despite what you may think, we actually think that it would be some type of parasite, as although kabane are basically zombies, parasitoids don't stay in their hosts, and don't control them. As far as parasites go, there are many instances of parasites, animal and fungal, latching onto the hosts brain and controlling them, like the cordyceps fungus, or the tarantula hawk wasp.

So, we've determined that it's a parasite, now what? Well, how is it transmitted. Obviously, through bites, but how does it do that. We decided that depending on if it is animal or fungus based, it probably lays eggs/spores in the saliva glands in the hosts mouth, which then get into the victims bloodstream when bitten. This also means that the parasite is unlikely to be in the kabane's blood, which makes sense, as steamsmiths don't seem too worried about cleaning blood off the trains.

When a victim is bitten, the eggs/spores are released into the bloodstream, causing the infection. This then explains the slow infections, as the smaller the wound, the fewer eggs and the slower the infection. The parasite then targets the brain in order to control the new host, as well as protecting the heart. This makes sense, as the parasite would more than likely be secreting chemicals into the hosts bloodstream in order to keep it running, and give it the superhuman strength, and in order to do that, it needs the heat to work.

This also explains why they are so hard to kill (we haven't tried to work out the heart cage yet). If the parasite keeps the body running off of its own chemicals, the host doesn't need to eat, so its organs can shut down, meaning that shouting it anywhere other that the head or heart will have no effect, as the kabane doesn't need anything else to function.

The parasite theory also helps explain why Ikoma succeed in turning himself into a kabaneri. If it was a virus, as soon as he stopped cutting off the blood supply to his head, it would have continued to infect him. But with a parasite travelling through his blood, if it can't find his brain, then it might assume that it is in the wrong place, and either shut down and hibernate, or die.

Ikoma still would have gone through some physical changes, as the parasite likely releases chemicals as soon as it hatches in the bloodstream, which would permanently alter his body, sending him through the initial changes that a kabane goes through. But without the right place to live, the parasite shuts down and stops releasing chemicals, meaning that not only does he keep his mind, changes such as skin colour would likely be reversed, as he no longer has the foreign chemicals in him.

That's all we have for now, but I will keep posting our theories as we watch it, so keep an eye out if you're interested.

Decided to check out Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress last night, and in the first episode the protagonist gets bitten by a zombie and fights off the infection by choking himself and flexing really hard. This is not a euphemism.

Anyway, seems neat.

Ep 1 Frightened Corpse

(would put a link to the video here but everyone has different ways of being able to watch it so the way I watch it might not be the way you could watch it, sorry)

Honestly feels like it’s a pretty good intro to the show. Introduces us to important knowledge of how some things work and gives us an intro to the two most important characters in the show. Don’t have much to say about it tbh.

Love the little bits of worldbuilding we get with just a few lines of dialogue. Some people were talking and gave us the info that this station probably survives off supplies from other stations and that there is a front line of some sort. Again, worldbuilding with just a few lines that let us know the kabane’s heart cage, which seems to be the main problem in killing them. More worldbuilding! Get an idea of who Ayame is from just a few words and how the guy in charge is treating her. We also get an idea of what she is like from how she acts here and you already start to feel like you might really like her. Ikoma gives us a little more of a look inside his own head and his question of where she’ll be pointing the gun feels important, especially after that intro scene we saw where everyone was freaking out. (tbf for good reason but still- coulda been handled better.)

We get that little nugget of info that there are two hayajiro’s coming today and then, again, we get a bunch more worldbuilding! We get to find out about inspections, what they do if they find a  wound, and that they clean the hayajiro, as well as the fact they think it’s a curse and the knowledge Ikoma collects body parts cause he knows it’s not a curse but a virus. (But he’s also breaking the rules by collecting them. XD For science!) Fun little intro to Mumei here, which shows us that yes, some people can get special treatment but that it seems to be rare. And then we come to the scene where everyone freaks out and Ikoma is the only one to stay level headed and actually want to follow the rule they put in place. Hope those bushi felt bad for shooting the guy after that. Love how Ikoma calls them out on it. Unfortunately ends up with Ikoma locked up though, just cause Kenshou is a paranoid jerk. I like how it shows that Ayame does not agree with how her father handled that. Goes further to show she’s a good person. :)

‘It’s June. Almost time brother.’ A seemingly throwaway line that foreshadows something later, something that I’ve seen people claim came out of nowhere even though it’s foreshadowed in the first episode. People can still not like that event, that’s fine, but it’s false to say it came out of nowhere. In fact we get a bit of a glimpse at the kind of person her brother is with her saying her brother gave her the name Mumei, which essentially means nameless. But her questions also give us a bit more of a look at Ikoma’s mentality and honestly I find myself agreeing with him. Obviously not easy to do, particularly in a zombie apocalypse, but it would improve things for sure.

I like how we then get a little look at how Takumi and Kajika feel about what happened, and although Takumi is saying Ikoma was an idiot you kinda get the feeling that, more than anything, he’s just worried for his friend. And thennnn things go to hell in a handbasket. This does give you a bit more worldbuilding though, showing that they use whistles to communicate. It looks like a kabane is just leaning on the person still attached to the whistle so while I believe it’s probably just a coincidence that that happened it could be possible that the kabane was smart enough to figure out the right whistle sequence to get them to lower the bridge. Honestly, as tragic as it is to have the kabane get into a station, it’s kinda fun knowing this is where things kick off, cause with this sorta show you know there’s gotta be some sort of inciting incident that gets the ball rolling on the plot.

Nice to see that Ikoma knows how to lockpick though, so he just instantly busts himself outta jail. XD And then starts running towards the horde cause maybe Takumi was right in thinking he was a little crazy. XD Do wanna say, everytime I see the little girl grabbing her toys I get frustrated, cause sure she’s just a kid but at the same time she got her mother and herself killed by taking too long. Another look at how Kenshou is a jerk cause he decides that they’re just gonna up and leave without worrying about the people at all. Little more lore in that kabane react to blood, but I never understood why Ikoma had to cut himself so deep. I always wince here, like man probably not a good idea to be bleeding that much. Btw, I got a theory that the kabane that follows Ikoma's trail is a wazatori. It’s holding what looks to be a cleaver and instead of following the trail through the door like you feel a normal kabane would, that’s where the trail directly goes, it instead goes through the roof, as if to ambush him. Doesn’t feel like normal kabane behavior. It’s quite cleverly done too, cause the shot makes it look like it’s just getting that moment of him being ready before it’ll switch to it coming through the door, but it surprises us by showing it breaking through the roof instead. Just feels like a clearly done shot. It is nice to see Ikoma get his moment of victory. Right before he sees the bite and, despite it being a dire situation, I always laugh at the face he makes. XD And if you wanted the moment where the kabane jumped on him you can actually see the blood splatter of him being bit, which was a fun detail to notice. This show is all about details man, I love it.

Tbh, idk how to feel about Shimon dying here. For reasons you will understand later. I will explain it then. ‘May karma smile upon you’ feels like a nice way to send someone off though. Then we get the switching between Mumei and Ikoma as the music swells (gosh the music!) and get to see Ikoma hurting himself (with some very painful looking things, yeowch) in a desperate attempt to save himself while we get to see Mumei be awesome and kick a kabane’s head off. It’s interesting to note that it seems everyone’s first time watching, when Ikoma lifts his head after stopping the virus is the first time his shock of white hair is noticed, but if you go back later and are paying attention you can see his hair start to change color in a close up shot earlier and everything was so chaotic and nerve wracking you just didn’t notice it at the time. XD And also a nice little look into why Ikoma has that mentality and into his backstory. Oh, you also probably want to skip the end credits if you don’t want spoilers btw. I’ll let you know when it’ll no longer have spoilers for things. This was just, a banger of a first episode. Like holy wow you do not want to stop after this. I think I got lucky and got introduced to the series when it had two episodes already so I at least didn’t have to wait for the second one. You guys are all lucky cause you don’t have to wait at all, it’s all available to watch already. ^.^ But man, I was hooked. All the fun worldbuilding and all the characters and ideas it was presenting; made it feel like it had so much potential and that this was gonna be an awesome show. They really knew how to get me interested.
