Under the alias of “Sanjome”, Count St. Germain is currently serving as the high school’s deputy head teacher and advisor to the History and Culture Research Club, despite his connections with the Kur, a militaristic alien race.

He might easily emerge as one of the primary antagonists, using supernatural methods to achieve his goals given his fascinationwith the paranormal. But his name, steeped in history and tradition, offers even more hints about his true nature. The parallels betweenDandadan‘s Count St. Germain and his real-life counterpart are impossible to ignore. Both figures are shrouded in mystery, have questionable origins, and exhibit strange, otherworldly behavior.
The Historical Count Saint-Germain: An Immortal or a Vampire?
The name Count St. Germain holds weight in history, tied to a figure who lived in 18th-century Europe, claiming to be an alchemist, diplomat, and composer. Fast forward to the early 20th century, a man named Jacques St. Germain arrived in New Orleans, claiming to be a descendant of the legendary Count St. Germain. Jacques became notorious for his luxurious parties and mysterious habits.
Despite impressing the aristocracy with his wit, knowledge, and wealth, there was something truly mysterious about him — he was claimed to be immortal. Known for his refusal to eat in public and his disappearing acts, Jacques St. Germain quickly became a subject of intrigue and suspicion, and rumors of his strange, vampiric behaviorspread across New Orleans.
The most chilling story tied to Jacques is the story of a woman who allegedly jumped from the second floor of his home, claiming he had bitten her on the neck in an attempt to drain her blood. When authorities searched his home, they found bottles filled with what appeared to be blood, but Jacques St. Germain was nowhere to be found. This event fueled rumors that he was not just an eccentric nobleman but an actual vampire.
Is theDandadanuniverse about to introduce its own version of a vampire through Count St. Germain? InDandadan, Count Saint-Germain’s role as a collector of paranormal artifacts positions him as a character deeply rooted in the supernatural. Moreover, in the mangaTurbo Grannyrefers to him as “Hyper Geezer”. It’s no surprise that fans are speculating whetherDandadan’s Count St. Germain is setting up to be a vampiric force.
