User blog comment:Death to Sorrow/Could he be Saved?/@comment-3003168-20120718040355

This scene happens a bit differently in the manga, but the important part is the same. None of them know they are dealing with zombies until Rei stabs Wakisaka and Hisashi realizes he is a "moving corpse." Takashi hits Wakisaka in the shoulder thinking it will cause him to let go and allow Hisashi to free himself. I think if Takashi had known Wakisaka was a zombie, he would have gone for the head and Hisashi might have been saved. Then again, we don't really know how deep the initial bite was or exactly how serious a bite has to be to transmit the disease, so he could have already been infected before the full bite. I don't think Takashi would let his friend get hurt.
