Vampire Knight Guilty: Episode 13 [Fin] December 29, 2008

Looking back…

Shall I say the Vampire Council is no more?  But I hope Takuma is still alive!

On this note, the crumbling of the Council signaled Kaname’s end of mission and that leaves only Zero to take care of the other… preventing Rido from getting his hands on Yuuki on his behalf.

Final Moments

Consoling Kaname

The Farewell

Episode 13 : Vampire’s Knight

—

Despite Zero’s attack, Rido had gotten loose.  He tried to escape and fed himself with the lowly vampires to regain his strength but Kaname tracked him with Zero coming after shortly.

The duel began between Kaname and Rido and Zero finishes the evil guy at once.  Coordinated much? But it’s so cool!  Then, it’s good riddance Rido!

After all the trouble, Kaname praised Zero for a job well done but Zero pointed the Bloody Rose at him.  Good thing that Yuuki came in time to stop him!  Kaname left them alone just like in the manga to say their farewells.

I won’t mention less important stuff anymore so let’s get to the juicy part!

Yuuki indeed bit Zero as it was in the rumor! Alright but that was probably the last time they can talk and probably see each other as he declared to kill her the next time.  They hugged and that was that!  Bye Zero!

Now, Kaname was so hurt as he felt what Yuuki has just did and was quite uncertain of what her decision would be.  He got himself ready to leave with a resolve that he’ll respect whatever Yuuki decides.  But Yuuki came to his room already dressed up and my God he had fallen on his knees.  Maybe he felt so relieved that Yuuki has chosen him! :3

The Cross Academy wasn’t totally wrecked as I thought it would be.  It’s good to know Yagari and Kaien were alive, just exhausted from the battle but unscathed.

Aidou managed to joke  now that everything’s over.  That lapis lazuli before is his keepsake and a reminder that he’s friends with Kaname.

Rima and Shiki went to the Vampire Council’s place which already had fallen into ruins as Takuma offered his life for it and only his sword had lived to tell the tale. *sniff* Shiki took it and of course Rima as usual with her pockies! Are they already an item or what?

The Night Class decided to leave the academy and follow Kaname.  But before that the emotional farewell between Kaien and Yuuki took place (but there’s a comedy before, see!).  The day class people were told the situation is over and Yori wasn’t able to bid Yuuki goodbye.

Zero is back to his normal state and resumed his duty as a guardian and while looking at the Moon Dorm’s gate he reminisced the Yuuki he has ever known, the Yuuki he’ll never see again.

Yagari couldn’t believe the damage the school had incurred but then the people from the hunters association came and there goes the help!

The episode ended up with the Night Class, Kaname and Yuuki leaving the academy grounds to where? *tehee* Of course home!

Random Babblings…

Okay, it was thirty minutes late! I was forced to see a bunch of commercials! Grrrr! At least it was finished and it’s really good!

All’s well that ends well.

With the rate the anime has ended, I’ll bet there will not be another sequel to this!

Whatever. I’m so happy with the turn out of events, I thought it’s gonna be Zero’s show and thank heavens it isn’t!  So can we expect similar ending to the manga?

At least Kaname and Yuuki in the end and that what matters to me.  Don’t hate me okay! XD

But my question hasn’t been answered… Who’s the Vampire’s Knight?

Zero, I think…what about you?

Vampire Knight Guilty: Episode 12 December 22, 2008

Looking  back…

Zero and Ichiru’s reconciliation may come a bit later but at least and it even paved way for Zero to compose himself and execute what he needs to do.

This Episode…

The Kuran Ancestor?

Rido & Yuuki

Morphing Zero

Episode 12 : The End of the World

—

Could it be the Kuran Ancestor?  But were shown Kaname among the throng of people and with such a long hair.  This led into the flashback when he and Yuuki were still kids.

Yuuki felt responsible for the things Rido has been doing in the academy and decided to let herself in the open and fight him for she’s the target afterall.  The Night Class people backed her up despite the risky decision she had made.

Because of the turn out of events, vampires keep rushing into the academy and they’re too many to handle that even the skilled vampire hunter Yagari was a bit scathed.  Kaien jumped in to the rescue and tore off the academy’s crest to block off the approaching sea of vampires.

It was quite emotional with the Yuuki and Kaien scene when he asked Yuuki not to call him Chairman but father do suffice.  It was an inspiration before going off to a fight.

Rido managed to seize Yuuki and was about to rob her of her powers running in her blood when Yuuki’s Artemis powered up and turned into a scythe.  It injured Rido.  It is unfortunate though that  Rido’s much powerful than all of their powers combined seizing Yuuki once again.

But Zero appeared and fired the Bloody Rose at the perpetrator.  Yuuki had been freed from Rido’s grasp but he was unaffected by the bullets that hit him.

Kaname went to the Vampire Council’s territory vanishing everyone he met along the way.  When he finally targeted Ichiou, Takuma asked him to do the favor in his stead.  He ended up challenging the old man and there goes the end of the Council I suppose.  I hope Ichijou didn’t die as well.

Zero has been feeling terrible with his left hand tending to have some morphing on it.  Unable to stand the scene and at Zero’s request, Yuuki came running towards him and tried to cut the part of his arm where the grotesque bulge could be found.

Rido just laughed himself out but it was another story when Zero picked the Bloody Rose from the ground.  A strong wave of light emanated from it to everyone’s surprise which caused them to fall back squinting.

Kaname returns to the academy and met Kaien along the way and together they saw that strange light nearby….  the thing from the Bloody Rose.

Random Babblings…

Argh! I didn’t get to screencap even a single scene I really forgot!  Damn me and I didn’t even got to see the very first scene of the episode.

Blame that gag show of some sort before VK, it made me feel sleepy! :(

Anyways, haven’t seen Zero’s vines yet.  The morphing hand of his seemed like a lobster claw to me.

I know everyone’s having a hang over still with the latest manga *tehee* the fun’s nowhere closer.

Vampire Knight Guilty: Episode 11 December 15, 2008

Looking back…

Yuuki was determined to resume her duties as the academy’s guardian but the Artemis rejected her as she’s now a vampire it was created to repel.  Rido has been revived and Kaname bid Zero to kill him on his behalf.

Zero's Pistol

Bloodsucking Spree

Ichiru's End?

Episode 11: The Life of Two

—

The episode started with Yuuki holding the pistol Zero gave her before to be used against him should he went out of control while Kaname’s alone in the woods and pondering on things.

Zero could now feel Rido’s presence from the cell he was held in and at the recollection of Kaname’s words, his hand started to go crazy as if there’s something it would like to become but Ichiru came and points the bloody rose at him.

Shiki regained his consciousness from where Takuma left him and visited the wounded Rima at her room.  Pockies it is!  Meanwhile, Ichijou was heading somewhere for a mission and the Night Class have decided to continue the fight to protect the academy.  Kain has just saved Ruka’s back from a lowly vampire attack.

Rido is having a blood-sucking spree for he might have been starving for quite sometime.  More and more vampires came to attack the academy while the students grew more listless.  It was weird but the Hunters Society President came with a despising proposal for Kaien ending up in a fight but the coward then fled.

Kaname asked Yuuki to go with him so he can stay away from harm but she declined and back at Zero’s cage Ichiru did shoot him.  It was found that Rido had him hurt.  It paved way for the two’s reconciliation remembering the past and it was him that urged Zero to fight back.  Zero drank Ichiru’s blood before anything could happen and went out with something in his shadow that has been morphed.  I wonder if he really would die in here…Ichiru.

The Night Class did send off Kaname, though it is unexpected for him to go alone but he left an assurance that Zero will have to take care to the matters at school and there’s someplace he needs to go.

Random Babblings…

Wow, so many unforeseen twists in this episode!  Rima gaining consciousness, Zero and Ichiru’s reconciliation and Zero drinking his blood were a few but hell, there’s no Kaname and Yuuki kiss! Oh, darn! :\

No good! :P

Vampire Knight Guilty: Episode 10 December 7, 2008

Looking back…

Kaname revealed that he is the ancestor of the Kurans and Rido came to wake him up from his grave for the purpose acquiring for himself the strength and power brought about by the strongest blood of the Kurans, Kaname’s!

Protecting Yori

Kaien & Yagari Comedy

Kaname Bids Zero Farewell

Episode 10 : The Overture of Battle ~Prelude~

—

The sun rays weren’t gentle as it used to towards Yuuki. It’s been hurting her since she has awakened.

Cross Academy is not a peaceful place it was before.  Preparing for the inevitable, the Chairman announced that classes were temporarily cancelled and ordered that none of the students should be allowed to stray from the confines of the building for their safety.

Among the stream of students Yori kept on wondering where Yuki was because she haven’t seen her since. She managed to escape to the dorms but was cornered by Rido’s minions who have started attacking the academy particularly the Day Class students hunting preys for their master.

Just in time, Yuuki and Aidou came to her rescue but the Artemis rejected Yuki and it came flying to the ground. Aidou then finished off the vampires in her stead. Yuki was probably amazed how Yori came to accept her for what she really is.  She worries more about not being able to see her best friend again and she got the Artemis back into Yuki’s holster.

Vampires and Hunters alike came to the academy for Zero and for food but the Night Class people were there to protect them especially the Day Class.  Each of the noble vampires possess distinct powers which were showcased here.  The Chairman and Yagari as well has decided to act accordingly.

Zero has been anticipating the awakening of someone evil and indeed Rido’s slowly came into conscious after Kaname hastened his resurrection. Even Yuuki felt that and has even dreamed of Shizuka giving some sort of a warning.

Ichijou left Shiki alone with a resolve to settle issues of his own and finally Rido has been revived!  Ichiru was the very first person to welcome him back.

Kaname visited Zero in the dungeon where he was being held and bid Zero farewell and that he’s taking Yuuki with him. He said he has allowed him to live not out of pity but for Yuuki’s sake and for that he couldn’t betray her no matter what.

Random Babblings…

Did Shizuka appeared in Yuuki’s dream in the manga? Can’t remember very well.

Well, as I’ve said they too are hastening things out.  Are we running after a deadline here? Probably, there’s only three episodes left for this series so no wonder. *sniff*

Vampire Knight Guilty: Episode 9 December 1, 2008

Previously…

Yuuki fed on blood for the first time! Not just from some cheap punk vampire but on Kaname-sama’s! Sweet!

But wait, what the hell is wrong with Zero aiming the Bloody Rose at Yuuki like that?

Episode 9 : Revival of the Mad King ~Emperor~

—

Despite of the recent occurrence which led to the revelation of what Yuuki’s true nature is, still she decided to go and see Zero in his room only to be be driven away by Zero’s snide and threatening remarks.  She admitted that she no longer is the Yuuki he knew as her vampire side had already eaten her human side, came rushing out of the building to Aidou and Kain’s surprise and barefoot!

Aidou was left no choice but to run after her with a pair of step-ins Ruka had brought for her.  Funny that he turned instantly blue thinking Kaname would kill him as Yuuki seemed to hurt her foot. The pureblood princess was in her old self again joking at the spoiled brat noble and then seen shedding tears the next.

Meanwhile, Kaname headed to where Rido’s coffin is and found Ichiru on watch.  He denied him access at first but given the ability of the purebloods to instill obedience, he opened the casket for him. Then Kaname told him about the tale of the  Hunter’s Cursed Twins and commented on how lucky for Ichiru to have survived.

Ichijou came in with the unconscious Shiki and tried to stop him as he took Ichiru’s sword and plunged it into his hand atop Rido’s body. Kaname has just infused his own blood into Rido’s corpse, the strongest blood among the Kurans with Takuma in the room feeling helpless but can only watch but he did make his move in the end.

In between the scenes were flashbacks of the fight Rido had with Haruka back then showing how guile Rido had been bringing a hunter’s weapon in battle.  Kaname witnessed the end of his father in his arms and enraged, he tried to stab the perpetrator but was stopped at his tracks.  He just couldn’t kill Rido yet for some reason! He instead shattered his body into thousands of pieces considering Yuuki’s welfare.

Ah, and there goes the hateful Hunter’s Association president and Ichiou of the Vampire Council talking about how Zero’s no longer a threat as he issued a cease and decease order for the human turned vampire.  But before that, Yagari came back to the Academy with the order and Zero submitted himself in willingly, ended locked up in a cellar dealing with the truth that the two pureblood’s blood now lives within him.  Kaien was so cool!

OMG! I’m in a daze right now! I’ve just found the link to TV Tokyo’s live streams! I’m so happy!

I think the anime’s rushing things a bit?

Vampire Knight Guilty: Episode 8 November 24, 2008

Looking back…

Yuuki was freed from the protective spell cast on her.  She was like Sleeping Beauty awakened by her Prince Charming Kaname with a kiss, er…bite!  Seriously, this was supposedly a very romantic moment for the both of them.  So, kyaaa!!!

This Episode…

- – -

Episode 8: The Spiral of Recollection

- – -

From where we left off last episode, Kaname reveals Yuuki’s real identity to Zero who was all infuriated and confused at the same time.  Meanwhile, Yuuki did recall her past up to the point where his father and mother have given up their lives in order to protect her and in the process did shun away the vampire side of her.

Kaname brought Yuuki to the Moon Dorms and was greeted by Aidou and Kain who were in  shock upon knowing the truth.  She was his sister after all and the secluded princess of the Kuran, born to be his intended.

Ruka came into realization and accepted defeat in herself after finding out about Yuuki.  Ichijou on the other hand is somehow feeling the guilt and Rido taunted him for betraying Kaname.

Yuuki must have finally come to her senses and her vampiric craving grew and Kaname allowed her to do as she pleased with him.  Her memories got even more clearer as a result.  She also came to the realization and blushingly admitted that she was in love with her brother all this time.  Kaname dismissed her of her thoughts and said that there’s nothing wrong with that since they were fiancees after all then he licked the speck of blood off her face!  Uwaah!

Yuuki smelled a familiar hateful blood in the air and her fear and anxiety was released for the first time shattering the windows.  It was Rido and Rima in a bloody confrontation as she hoped to drive away what’s been possessing Shiki but she ended up getting badly hurt.  She almost got successful bringing out Shiki to consciousness but Rido has stopped him from fighting back.

Ruka met Kaname in the hallway apologized for her selfishness.  She intended to get herself useful for him and got Kaname’s trust in return.

Yuuki went to Zero’s room against the protests of Kain and Aidou but she wasn’t welcomed like she was before.  Zero’s aiming the Bloody Rose at her behind the door!

Random Babblings…

I may seem to be biased but why do I feel that the whole animation sucked?  The chibi Kurans and their parents were supposedly adorable-looking!  The artwork just failed me not to mention the alterations! Gah!

As expected, this episode covered about Chapters 35-37 of the manga (which is much to my preference).

Results are this way! – - – > What’s gonna happen in VKG8? Thanks for everyone who’d cast their votes! ^^

Vampire Knight Guilty: Episode 7 November 16, 2008

Lastly on Episode 6…

Yuuki-sama, as what the noble vampires call her spent her day being followed around by the usually nocturnal beings.  She, the lover of their Pureblood King!

Shiki on the other hand returns with Takuma to the Moon Dorms.  Rima suspects he isn’t his usual self and is indeed!  Rido has taken over!

This Episode…

—

Episode 7: Thorny Kiss

—

Rido has finally come face to face with his nephew which he coined ‘The Fake Successor.”  A huge fight would have erupted if not for Takuma and besides, it was innocent Shiki’s body he’s taken over so it’ll do no good if he perished along with Rido.

Yuuki’s haunting visions were getting really, really worse that she seemed to falter at anytime.  Her gruesome and bloody ordeal almost cost Zero’s life as she attacked him so boldly.

Like we all predicted, Kaname took her away, freed her from her protective spell and gave her a kiss of life!  Zero hadn’t stole any at all! (so jealous that he pointed his Bloody Rose at Kaname) Hahah, just joking! XD

Random Babblings…

Ah, I love Ruka and Kain’s scene in here.  His unrequited love for Ruka is showing and I hope she realizes that soon and shake off her hopes with Kaname already (coz he’s mine! *,..,*).

Kaname-sama, suteki!  I really love him this episode and how I wish I were in Yuuki’s place! XD  The kiss… it tells all!  *faints*

Vampire Knight Guilty: Episode 6 November 9, 2008

Looking back…

Yuuki arranged a meeting with Kaname that she could seek from him answers related to her forgotten past.  She received not an answer she was hoping for but a confession from the pureblood King!

This Episode…

Episode 6: The Fake Lover

—

As the days pass by Yuuki’s nightmares have become increasingly tormenting leaving her sleepless nights.  Daytime came and awakened in such state, she was greeted by the members of the Night Class at the Kaname’s bidding, now calling her with “-sama” attached to it as a sign of high respect and was escorted to the direction where Kaname is waiting for them to share breakfast.

Takuma returns with Senri in a different aura which Rima noticed immediately.  It was Rido in Senri’s body but she has not the quite the hint yet.

Random Babblings…

Can I say, Yuuki’s still aloof despite that fact that he loves Kaname and that pisses me off!  If I were in her place I’d jump for joy however, I fully understand her ordeal.  All came in too sudden and  she might not have braced herself for the kind of thing to come as she is desperate enough to recall her past.

I don’t appreciate why this episode was titled ‘The Fake Lover” when she’s not.  Okay, we are yet to unfold Yuuki’s deepest secret but I’d prefer the manga title, Lover of the Pureblood or so.  She and Kaname were in love in the first place.  At one glance it would seem like an incest but actually it isn’t as they’re not real siblings after all.  Hmm… “The Fake Brother/Sister/Siblings” is a more of an appropriate title is it not?

Ichiru.  The bell on his ponytail I now recognize was part Shizuka’s garment before.  No wonder Zero felt Shizuka’s presence in that vampire bash, meeting his twin for the first time after the taboo was committed.

What could have Zero been thinking when he just stood there and watched his beloved in someone else’s arms?  I feel sorry for him. :{

On the other hand, I really do appreciate Kaname going about of his way to live normally and see Yuuki in the day though it must have been tough to stay awake and ignoring how dangerous it is to be exposed in the sun for long.  He’s a vampire after all and to endure that is kind of exceptional.  Those Night Class people too were not that ordinary vampires or else…poof!

Vampire Knight Guilty: Episode 5 November 2, 2008

Looking back…

Yuuki went with his father and Zero to the Hunters Association headquarters to research of her forgotten past ten years ago.  Browsing on the record, it flared up as if it doesn’t want the details to be known!

Meanwhile, Rido has been revived!  Takuma saw him take over Senri’s body before his very eyes!

This Episode…

Episode 5: The Subordinate’s Trap ~Trap~

–

The bloody scary memories haunting Yuuki has become more frequent which made her decide to seek answers from Kaname.  As usual she couldn’t find her words standing up to him that easily yet somehow managed to ask.  However, she received no concrete explanation in the end, instead, Kaname has just confessed his love to her! OMG, Kyaa! ♥  But it wasn’t as effective given Yuuki’s current situation but his message sure did got across.

Ichiru enrolled at the Cross Academy, probably for a mission.  He introduced himself as Zero’s futago or twin but unlike the latter he is more outgoing and approachable in total opposite of Zero who’s detached and always gloomy.

Zero came seeking for Kaname ending up into a heated argument and jostle and finally Zero feeding out of Kaname’s blood! (Why didn’t you say so Zero, it should have been done in a more subtler way! XD)

This episode ends with a jealous Zero as he witness his beloved wrapped on Kaname’s arms! *_*

Random Babblings…

The anime made the scenes lighter than it was in the manga as I usually am saying.  I really sympathize Zero in the manga for he was there all the time accompanying Yuuki while Kaname made his confession and poor guy, what a pained look on his eyes no matter how he’d hid it! I have cried for him that time…

Gah! Yuuki should already make up her mind or else I’ll have all Kaname-sama to myself! :P

Vampire Knight Guilty: Episode 4 October 27, 2008

Looking back…

Hanabusa secluded himself from the rest of the Night Class refusing to spend vacation at home with them, plotted his mini-runaway scheme and ended up pestering Yuuki and Zero. Yuuki with her growing anxiety towards uncertainty thinks of accepting Kaname’s offer to be a vampire which Zero dissed right away and vowed he’d never let her even if he would make Kaname his enemy and Yuuki should she hate him.

—

Episode 4: The Devil’s Quickening ~Libido~

—-

This Episode…

Senri went to see his father whom he thought was long dead for the first time and Seiren, Kaname’s self-imposed bodyguard came and brought the news of Rido’s awakening.

Whenever Yuuki tried remembering the past it only would result into a bloody vision haunting her.  Determined, with Kaien, Yagari and Zero they headed for the Hunters Association headquarters to seek for clues about her past. Digging up at the records Yuuki discovered Kaien was once a ferocious vampire hunter himself and when she laid eyes on that page containing the data from that snowy day ten years ago, it burned as if it doesn’t want to be known.

Locking up in her room while trying to figure things out, Zero came to feed? Well, at least he openly swore allegiance to Yuuki with his remaining wasted life.

The Night Class returned to the Academy after the break and Kaname brought Yuuki a present, a rose which blooms only every ten years preserved in resin for her and a cursed doll for Zero which was rejected right away.

Takuma went to visit his grandfather and was shocked to see Rido, probably now in Senri’s body.

Random Babblings…

That giving of presents thing when in the manga is a lot more funny.  Zero had stepped on it and said it was good at relieving stress! XD

So far with the fast pacing of the story, I think most details were left out when compared to the manga.  I guess it started with Chapter 27 and so forth.  It felt like they’re making the gothic story more lighter here in the anime?

Vampire Knight Guilty: Episode 3 October 21, 2008

Looking back…

Yuuki was found unconscious, drained of her energy where the party hosted by Hanabusa’s family is being thrown.  It was caused by a young vampire lad who the prefect had helped find his mother.  It led into one of the rarest private moments Yuuki and Kaname ever had! ♥♥♥

Episode 3 : The Lapis Lazuli Portrait ~Mirage~

—

Our Story So Far…

Cross Academy is having a break! everyone is heading for home except Aidou who’s brooding in his room for reason unclear to everyone else.  He holds onto a piece of Lapis Lazuli remembering what he witnessed…the night Shizuka was killed by no other than Kaname-sama.

Yuuki secretly saw Kaname and the members of the Night Class off.  Dazed by the many thoughts she was burdened lately, once again she was visited by the same blurry vision she had back then.  Unaware, she found herself being lectured about by her dorm leader who stopped at her tracks when the runaway Aidou appeared.

Yuuki and Zero acted as host to the capricious Hanabusa, accommodated him at the Chairman’s private suite, fed him a feast almost fit for a king yet never gets full and his demands were endless making Kiryuu pissed off.  Aidou seemed to know of Zero’s condition prompted by the blood tablets Yuuki served him while waiting for more food.  He confronted her about being special to Kaname and from there he learned something of Yuuki’s history and that she wouldn’t mind if Kaname will betray her.  While soaking at the bath, he envisioned his past with Kaname, the memories bound by such piece of marbled lapis lazuli.

Senri came home to his mother and the others, Kaname, Ichijou, Ruka, Rima and Kain were at Aidou’s about to spend the vacation there as planned.  Kain however didn’t waste time researching for clues that might have a connection with Shizuka’s death and Kaname’s past.

While cleaning up, Yuuki dropped a plate and was cut by it.  She offered Zero to lick it but his hunger must have  been huge that he allowed him to feed on her wrist.  Aidou with his instincts must have noticed it and must have seen it as evidenced by the door left ajar.  He mentally kicked himself for worrying about Zero and recalling what Yuuki had said about Kaname and soon he thinks that he feels the same too and headed back to their dorm without notice leaving Yuuki and Zero in wonder.

Yuuki confided about Kaname’s offer to be a vampire and she’s having second thoughts of giving into it but Zero vowed he’d never let her become one even if it makes Kuran his enemy and be hated by Yuuki.

Random Babblings…

First, there’s no such thing as the lapis lazuli in the manga but it made sense here in the anime.  Wow, those nobles are so lavish in a sense to have made marbles out of the precious stone!  Anyhow, it had sewn many scenes together and a perfect tool for that childhood flashbacks.  This is one of the mere alterations when compared to the manga but they fit together just fine.  I also thought episode 2 was already on the 26th chapter but this episode is a collaboration of the earlier chapters back!

Vampire Knight Guilty: Episode 2 October 18, 2008

Looking back…

Following Shizuka’s death, the Vampire Council ordered for Zero’s termination as he had committed a taboo especially on a pureblood whom they revere so much.  Kaname meddled for him sparing his life for the moment while Yuuki gave a childish reaction against Kaname following the incident.  The almost kiss scene could be found in Episode 1 and was ended by the letter which was revealed to be intended for Zero.

—–

Episode 2 : Eternal Promise ~Paradox~

—–

This Episode…

Walking alongside Yori, Yuuki’s thoughts drifted back to the time when Zero tried to kiss her.  Shaking off that recollection, she groped for reasons why Zero could have done that.  She also mentally kicked herself remembering that childish act she had with Kaname back then, until Yori snapped her back to earth.

While she couldn’t help herself but think, she felt a tug on her sleeve. A lost young boy cries for her mother and Yuuki volunteered to help him find her consenting Yori to go ahead of her.  Yuuki was brought by the kid in a rundown building at a nearby place and in gratitude, he kissed her.  The prefect felt dizzy at once and eventually lost consciousness.

Aidou’s family is currently holding a party for vampires and by order of the Hunters Association Zero came to observe. Yagari was there too for some personal business.

By chance, Kain’s group and Kaname found Yuuki and was brought to Aidou’s place away from the vampires.  Yuuki regained her conscious and found Kaname watching over her.  She still felt dizzy as she tried to get up and wobbly,  her vampire-knight-in-shinning-armor, Kaname, caught her.

While Takuma came and called for Kaname’s presence in the party below, now alone, a blurry vision suddenly hit her and the kid with eyes of different colors peeked in and apologized.  It was said that vampire kids are capable of stealing energy from humans reason why she probably fainted earlier. While Yuuki wanted to ask the kid some more as she’s worried but he hurriedly left and Yuuki chose to go after him.

In the hall down below, she saw vampires partying in the dim light, most were famous and their true nature is a top secret and Zero!  Flashbacks of that almost kissed incident came rushing through her which she immediately dismissed. Zero on the other hand met Ichiru on a ponytail!  Obviously, his twin despised him more after Shizuka’s death.

Back at the party, everyone fell into silence as Kaname appeared before them.  Each paid respect to him and expressed warm greetings.  Meanwhile, the host of the party, Aidou’s father took the opportunity of introducing her daughter for Kaname’s consideration, a future bride perhaps and Aidou immediately asked an apology for that thing was uncalled for and he wasn’t expecting it.

Yuuki witnessed it all from the spot she was hiding.  Jealous much?  Kaname saw her reaction and came to her once more.  And… the Kaname and Yuuki moments took place…makes me wish I was in Yuuki’s place! My pureblood fantasy brought her back to the academy and that was it, snow fell, she recalled her past once again…

Random Babblings…

This episode covers chapter 25 of the manga and part of the 26th and is quite loyal to it except for some few.  Sara who was present in the manga and was the cause of Yuuki’s jealousy did not appear in the anime.  I wasn’t so sure  either of the scene with Ichiru and Zero talking.  Oh well, I’m quite glad a handful of Japanese I learned from class paid off though I still suck at reading the characters yet! XD

More importantly, I actually wish to be Kaname’s prey! Moe!

Vampire Knight Guilty: Episode 1 October 9, 2008

A Retrospect…

Vampire Knight Season 1 is a presentation of facts giving us a general picture of the life at Cross Academy; the Day and Night Class’. The characters were also established particularly Zero’s yet the real score between Yuuki and Kaname is still in question. It was then wrapped up by the Hiou Shizuka arc. Shizuka was the one responsible for Kiryuu’s ill-fate, becoming a vampire who almost have fallen into Level E if not for Kaname’s jumping to the rescue, maybe Yuuki’s generosity of feeding him blood could not compensate against the real hunger he must have felt. The series left a cliffhanger of what’s became of Zero not to mention that he is the prime suspect of killing a pure blood and will he be saved from totally going insane?

—

Episode 1: The Sinners of Fate ~Guilty~

—

This season, creator Matsuri Hino’s Vampire Knight is dubbed as “Guilty.” And since this is the premiere episode, may I just ponder on the Opening and the Ending Themes used.

The Opening…

ON/OFF’s “Rondo” was the theme nicely picked for the opening of the series. Aimless Yuuki is portrayed twirling and wandering in the dead woods with a book on her grasp. In the manga, that book for sure was the one that contains the secrets of the Kuran but which burns whenever somebody would try to read it. Take for example the Night Class people who’re trying to dig up the clan’s history for the purpose of helping out Kaname. Then appeared a bat with eyes of different colors; Rido, this arc’s nemesis. Both Kaien and Ichiru are expected to have bigger roles this season and both have noticeable gestures: Kaien had his hair loose and Ichiru had his tied up! Lastly, Yuuki is caught in indecision between the two hotties, Kaname and Zero but is shown at the endmost part to have grown her hair long and holding on to the Artemis with a torn white cloth attached to it. It could probably be a sneak peek at the future occurrence where she has already manifested into her true nature, a vampire and that tarnished white cloth symbolizing her freedom from innocence!

The Ending…

“Suna No Oshiro” or Castle of Sand literally by Wakeshima Kanon was a perfect match to the second series’ ending. The theme almost speak of Yuuki’s metamorphosis likened to a butterfly which was kept securely in a cocoon until it becomes a full grown. Yuuki’s however is that, she was caged in a make-believe golden fortress without her memories and until she could have a grasp once again of her bloody past depicted in form of those sand-like fragments will she be able to gain full control of herself. That spider thing whose web caught Yuuki on may symbolize Rido’s greed wanting to take Yuuki’s powers as the last pureblood princess of the Kurans now that she has fully manifested.

This Episode…

The usual scene of yapping Day Class girls greeted the opening of the Moon Dorms signifying the change of class shifts. Pushing, those uncontrollable ladies almost shoved Prefect Yuuki forward who would have fallen flat to the ground if not for the hands that held her back. She automatically apologized thinking it was Kaname who saved her again but to her dismay it was Zero who she thought was struggling in pain not so long ago.

Yagari and the Chairman caught some hint that Kaname might have snucked in to help Zero back in shape by letting him drink his blood; a pureblood’s. Zero too, bothered by Yuuki’s reaction thought that she could have felt Kaname’s aura in him as his blood now flows in his veins. I could read he had a mixed reaction himself, spiteful as he hate vampires much more the purebloods and grateful for he now owe his life to Kaname having saved him from falling into Level E.

Kaname’s immense power has shown as the whole Night Class reaffirmed their loyalty to him on some favor he’d asked. Notice how his features improved greatly compared to the first season, his eyes, his hair, marvelous!

Torn, Yuuki ponders on how she’s always protected by both Kaname and Zero wanted to do something herself to return the favor. She tried offering Zero her nape for she thought he might have been very hungry following his recent ordeal, if that’s the least she can do for him.

Heating things up, Maria, a kin whose body was used by Shizuka now conscious, hinted Zero of the real account following the tragedy between Shizuka and his family and for once he had seen a flash of an impending doom! A crest tied up in chains, might be an embodiment of Kaname’s.

It was made worse when the Vampire Council’s puppets were sent to finish Zero off for committing a taboo. Kaname along with the Night Class meddled and warned the rest of the errands to stay out Cross Academy’s business and leave everything in his care. Yuuki on the other hand, confronted Kaname and insisted Zero’s innocence but Kaname’s nonchalant response made Yuuki spat at him and vowed never to see him again until he proves Kiryuu’s innocent. Ichijou, after a funny remark seeing how Kaname often let his guard down when it comes to Yuuki was almost hit by Kaname’s outburst which in turn left a hole in the tree bark just inches from his head! Oopsie!

Zero confronted Kaname of the Hiou murder. Kaname denied nothing but admitted none as well but Zero knew it was for him to decipher. Kaname pointed out the very reason why he’d let him live…to protect Yuuki in his stead.

A little later, Zero had a dream of Shizuka and Yuuki dying from his hands. He woke up finding Yuuki at the foot of the couch. He flung to her almost bursting into tears and the famous kiss…almost…happened here! XD

The scene of Cross Academy’s Chairman, Kaien and Yagari inspecting the hole Kaname had caused the night before as well as the presentation of the Hunters Association’s job for Zero signaled the conclusion of the episode.
