Just saw the last episode it was beautiful and defintley left it open for a 3rd season..Yukki choosing to leave with kaname (eventhough he told her she didn't have to) was just what I wanted. And for zero fans I guess him wanting to kill her gives him a reason to live. No kiss just her bloodsucking zero to prove to him that she really isn't human anymore . And loved the kaname yukki flashback..I think if yuki wasn't around he wouldn't have a reason to live... for either of them..It was a bittersweet ending

[Mirakuru]

Even though the Rido fight was kind of rushed, we got a lot of character interactions and emotional scenes that made up for it. I actually really liked Kaname this episode; he was so sweet when Yuuki returned to his room. =[ The ending was rather open-ended, and actually contains a lot of elements from recent manga chapters, so I think a season 3 is totally possible, though probably not any time in the near future. But I did feel really really bad for Zero (of course) because he got the short end of the stick.. again. ;_; It seems like all he ever does is suffer on behalf of others or make sacrifices. =[ The scene where he recalled Yuuki made me cry like crazy. ^^;; That was a really touching scene.. but either way, I thought the episode was well-done and at least there was no definite ending, so we can always hope for a season 3 someday. =D

[GET LOST]

thanks for the topic and i wish 13 episode open way to 3rd season

[LightningZERO]

Well, the action was rushed and totally disappointing. Oh well

Poor Zero, he's like totally ignored and lost everything. Non one even went to console him in the last episode. He's really alone. The last scene of him thinking Yuki still there pushing back the students, that was heartbreaking

Yuki chose Kaname over Zero, I guess she made her choice. Good for Kaname, but I still can't bring myself to really support him. He really did a lot of questionable stuffs. I really dislike everything went like his scenario. His "I know you will destroy Rido, and I know your next target is me, and I also know you won't be able to pull the trigger." Damn.

The end definitely opens for a third season, although we probably won't see it for a long time

[Airi]

I hate this episode. Zero was left alone like a used toy.

This was the worst way to finish the anime. -_-

[Rubie]

I'm sad this is the last episode of the second season =S, time really passes fast!
This episode sure leaves lots of thoughts for me and I wouldn't be suprised if they anounce another season for VK.
About the scene where Yuuki drinks Zero's blood, I didn't expect that at all o.o and I thought it was the kissing scene in the manga. Poor father Cross, Yuuki is leaving you but she was a good girl.
I'm happy that Yuuki decides to go with Kaname even though he said that she's free now. Through the entire episode I waited for Yuuki to call Kaname ¨oni-sama¨, but she called him kaname--sama instead, lol.

[Carlos45]

Nothing much to say, on the whole Vampire Knight was one of the best shows that i've seen, however mid way of season two was quite a disapointment to me, since Zero werent shown a lot. Although, i've continued to watch it, mainly because of the character development. The ending was quite painful towards Zero, having no one to go back to, and have to suffer again, and having that good memories of Yuki, and having to know that he shall slay her one day.

[Tyrone Biggums]

Wait...Yuki drank Zero's blood? Thats new...and stupid. In the manga she said straight up "only person who's blood i want is Kaname" and here she is drinking someone elses blood...

Two-timing biatch!

[Stardust Romance]

The last episode was alright.
It didn't really leave an impression on me but neither did it leave me with a bad taste in my mouth. It was actually better than what I thought it would be ( I thought it was going to end crappy )

But way to butcher Yuuki more. She didn't do anything and her two knights in shining armor comes to do all the dirty work to save her butt. She hardly didn't even use her scythe =.=
The anime has completely made her useless.
That's my major grudge in this finale.

Everything else was played out decent, leaving mystery to Ichijou's whereabouts and Shiki mentioning breaking "spells".

I didn't cry suprisely but the part where Zero was standing infront of the school's door entrance and remembering innocent Yuuki made me feel like a hollow shell.

Empty.
Just like Zero ;~;

[Generic Asian Guy]

All I can say is: there better be a third season, or else this episode goes down in my books as one of the worst endings to a series.

[Carlos45]

The ending was pretty decent when Zero has an memorie with the good Yuki, that part really was touching, and it was quite sad that she decided to leave him.

[carmolita]

The ending was pretty decent when Zero has an memorie with the good Yuki, that part really was touching, and it was quite sad that she decided to leave him.

He wasn't remembering the good yuki~ he was remembering the human yuki...He can't accept the fact that she was always a pureblood the very vampire race that killed and toyed with his family. He needed proof that she wasn't human and that's why he asked her to drink, but once she did she finally realized his feelings(because it was in his blood). I think zero can only be happy with a human girl, because that's the part of himself he lost. I don't think he'll ever be happy with yuki unless he accepts who she is.. Keep in mind he told her to leave that he's ok ~ and that he considers himself a vampire hunter and will kill her. Now we have yuki being zero's alli and kaname' protector.
My favorite part of this episode was kaname telling her to do of her own free will not because he told her to do so, or out of any obligation to him, or guilt. I loved the childhood flashback in whch she tells kaname don't cry your not alone, I'll protect you *and then strokes his hair*. And then in the present he sinks to his knees and tells her, you've always been able to see through me ~ your my one beloved person in this world. And then she says I want to protect- this man. *and then caresses his head* It's really a story of unrequited love. Two people who were in love with each other and then torn apart by circumstance. She having no memory and kaname protecting her and always knowning. I can defintley feel where she's coming from:(

[tetsuo69]

really good episode ^^ love it :)

[kayoujin]

Wait...Yuki drank Zero's blood? Thats new...and stupid. In the manga she said straight up "only person who's blood i want is Kaname" and here she is drinking someone elses blood...

Two-timing biatch!

yeah... i just read chap 46 and
it was zero who drank yuuki's blood when she said that and kissed her!!!! oh my god!!!!!!!! WHY couldn't they have just stuck to that scene in the anime? WHY?? ugh!

[train]

Man, I'm really going to miss this show. I pray that they make another season. It's been such a dramatic ride the past 2 seasons and I've gotten too attached for it to end now :(. Even though I think they could have done the last 2 episodes a bit better I'm still pleased.

I'm a Zero fan and this episode just killed me inside, haha. Seeing Zero so a lone was just awful and I wasn't a big fan of how Yuuki reacted to the whole thing like she didn't care. I haven't read the manga but I wish she would have at least kissed him goodbye rather than just the bite although I don't know how Zero would have felt about that. I guess I just needed some sort of better closure for what was left of Zero and Yuuki's relationship. Someone said it in an earlier post but seeing Zero get NOTHING out of it in the end after all the suffering hes been through was just so hurtful :(. Now he has to suffer all alone!

The episode did feel a bit rushed especially Rido's fight but I guess they didn't really have a choice and I'm glad they focused more on what was to happen with all of the characters.

It's definitely been one of the best shows I've seen and one of the few shows that kept me wanting more and being excited to see the next episode week after week. It killed me when the first season ended and I had to wait all the way until October until the 2nd, but at least I knew there was going to be another season! Now we don't even know and if there is we don't know when! :'(

[elite-dreams]

hmmm they changed Yuuki having a long hug in the manga to her sucking Zero's blood.

Well Yuuki leaving Zero followed the manga so...i saw that coming.

Sigh, D: were gana have to wait at least half a year? till the manga catches up more then they'll make a 3rd series >.> sad...

[ani_d]

I haven't read ep 13's part in the manga so I really enjoyed how they peacefully ended the 2nd season. :heh:


Hearing Yuuki and Zero promising to kill each other, I guess that's their way of loving each other. I still think Kaname has a lot of future death flags but even then it'll be somewhat interesting if he dies leaving Yuuki and Zero. The outcome will be ironically bittersweet. Though, I'm not really gonna whine if they don't go with that, I don't want Kaname to die lol

Yuuki didn't kiss Kaname just like how she did in the manga so it made me think things would take a different turn here...but...it seems like they just didn't want to shoot down all of Zero's chances even if she left with Kaname. Yuuki clearly treasures her vow with Zero so that says something.

Also Kaname looked like a lost puppy when he knelt in front of Yuuki. He doesn't show it as often as Zero but I think he's also as tortured as Zero. I feel bad for him when he goes in that mode. ^^ I loved how Yuuki took the less ideal path by leaving the school and her friends. It deviates itself from the usual shoujo trend although Zero's flashback of Yuuki was sweetly heartbreaking. Yuuki needs to clone herself haha

All in all, I 'think' it all came down to that popularity contest the author conducted way back when. Kaname had more votes than Zero so she made Yuuki go with Kaname:heh: The author probably couldn't decide where she'll go with her story or something. Kaname may have won the girl, but Zero is way more prominent in the anime though.

On another note, what happened to Ichijou? I still don't believe he died.

[King Lycan]

i can't believe its over :p
Well the last episode was awesome ..loved the ending felt smooth :D

You'll have to read the manga to find out what happened to Ichijou.;) They would have a lot of explaining to do if they included him (Ichijou) in the final episode. His absence involves a certain person not mentioned in the anime. There is no way they could of put that plot in ~under the time contraints they had..

[maverickudo]

this doesn't feel like how the manga touched on this part. the manga felt more emotional in my opinion. the anime made me feel like i was watching something new for the first time. i had my "wtf" face on.

what happened to the zero/yuuki kiss?? what happened to the rido pwnage by yuuki. what happened to kaname telling ichijou that he's the only one he respects.

MINAAA~!!

[jvonr92]

OMFG I HATED THE ENDING!! DX

I can't decide whether I want a Season 3 (So things can be patched up and explained better) or not. Season 3 might be crappy and painful...Depends on how the producers go about it...

[LightningZERO]

Wow, this topic actually reaches page 2!

[AMon10A]

So, at least this isn't the mess they made of claymore's ending. They got the general feel of where the manga's currently at right at least.

[m1thril]

QFT...at least it wasnt a total disaster like claymore :]

[Sinestra]

Wow i was truly disappointed with this episode. I wont go into my dislike for Kaname i did that enough in the manga thread and it has nothing to Yuki. It was rushed many things were changed that just didnt fit well. Also, the final scene of Zero was just freaking depressing. Yuki saying that she will be waiting for Zero to come and kill her i hated that sentence what she said in the manga made more sense. Regardless at this point i dont want a third season for fear of it making me dislike it anymore.

Im really disappointed plus im still trying to figure out why other than Zero being a fallen hero why they are so intent on making his life hell while others live blissfully. The contrast is just too great oh well its over time to move on.

final ep 6/10

[carmolita]

No one lives blissfully:( that's the tragedy they all lost something or someone..., and they're all suffering in one form or another and now their all growing on their own path.. episode 13 tied it together for the anime., they didn't have much choice the manga isn't finish. Keep in mind that now that yuki has her memories back she is her complete self~Now she can relate to both sides that a least helps with the prevention of wars. that nearly destroyed their world ~ wiping out everyone so long ago:( I'm happy with the ending now yuki goes on to figuer out who she is and what it means to be a pureblood. Zero has time to work through his feelings both emotional and being torn in two, before he was living for yuki and now he is living for himself. His character has always been unstable emotional in the anime he often went back and forth between his hatred and compassion for yuki. Right now cross is going to be the best person to help him deal with that, and kaname is going to be the best person to help yuki deal with herself. Who knows where their future lies... except for that new battle coming up in the manga..:)

[Carlos45]

What date will the manga come out, any idea? Going to start reading that.

[carmolita]

Always the 24th of every month ~ it's serialized

[ThoHell]

Just as I thought, I couldn't/can't come to like this series. Ending was blah...... didn't even watch the 12 episodes before, just jumped straight to the ending. Quite a few series this season making me jump straight to the end and not watching to watch the whole thing. Anyone else every go through the same thing or feel the same way?

[Leo_Otaku]

Best part was Shiki and Rima in this episode ^-^ Not too happy the way they changed everything...oh well...yeah doing this anime based on manga from 05 -->08 thats like four years worth of manga to make into anime >.> wait four years 0_0.... wtg deen -_-

[Airi]

I feel the same.
The problem is that I watched it all..... How could I!? °_°

[Qbi Sannin]

The ending was alright. It's open ended, which is a good as I would like to see another season. It'd be cool if there was a time skip, and Zero has trained under Cross and inherited that badass sword.

I like Kanami and Yuki together. And like Carmo said- the main characters suffered, not just Zero. Yuki lost her memories and parents, Zero lost his brother and parents, and Kaname had to bear the fact that Yuki didn't remember him all this time even though he was so near. So in a WAY, he lost Yuuki and the parents that cared for him and took him in also.

I also like Rima and Shiki but the two were kinda... apathetic towards the whole situation. It's like whatever was going on around them didn't concern them. Which was true I guess. It was also weird how Seiren, Kaname's right hand didn't lift a finger to help Yuuki. Hmm...

[miroku2192]

As someone said earlier, given the manga's current status, i think the anime's ending was perfectly fine. Sure zero got the shaft, but oh well, you can only choose one, and personally i was rooting for kaname the whole time...i just hope zero doesn't come back and eventually kill kaname :X...

Only problem i had with this episode was the fighting scene...jeez how fast was the death of rido? And couldn't they make yuki fight a bit "more" with that n3wly powered up artemis (scythe)?

[carmolita]

Actually compared to the manga rido's death was quite long. If they followed the manga he would be dead in one scene:(

[miroku2192]

uh the fight in total was longer in the manga...at least yuki put up a fight with her scythe in the manga

[carmolita]

It appeared that way , but if you had to animate it ~It would only last one scene at least in the anime they drew the fight out a bit between 2 episodes ...and added some stuff in between to create suspence leading up to it. The manga was just a quick oh you remind me of jurri ~vines and yuki stabs- cut to kaname leaving everyone to wonder if he was really dead. ..The yuki zero conversation before and after the fight took up more time in that manga chapter then the actual battle did:(. Although I had wished they would of included in the anime -the yuki throwing aidou of the roof scene ~ but him being captured was ok..

oh the one where yuki lands on his head perfectly safe and sound? yeah haha that was funny/cute, it's a shame the manga takes so long to make, but then again, the quality is so good, would the manga readers recommend reading the manga from the beginning?

[carmolita]

Kind of ~ Aidou tries to protect her..She's already aware that - theirs nothing he could do and says get out of the way aidou sempai and pushes him of the building she lands on him later. He's the only night class member that attemps to fight in the manga battle , but it wasn't for long because yuki didn't want him hurt and knew his powers would be bound and he killed. ~ In the anime they included everyone and zero didn't show up till the end. I read the manga 4/5 times from the bginning 3 differnet interpetations including the official. Although the anime follows it.. the manga defintly gave some juicy details that aren't in the anime. For example: in the anime during yuki's flashback where kaname sees her as a child trying to get dressed. kaname says he rushed over because cross said their was something wrong w/yuki. In the manga the reason he rushed over was because cross said they were being attacked and kaname says that he had to ditch the guards to get there and that he didn't believe him anymore. stuff like that-that ties it together more. Yes defintly read it from the beginning.. they did a good job, but left stuff out. As far as the end they tied it up great w/ the last chapter in the manga so far. It also let us see everyones limitations as individuals. I think if their were to ever be a season 3, which I can't see happening for at least a year or 2 -That they'll have a great foundation to work from:) By not including Sara that gave them some leg room..Since she plays a big role w/ichigo~

[golthin]

well, I am a Zero fan and even though i feel sad, they ended the anime as i expected. After i read the manga and found out the truth about Yuki, I knew she and Zero had no future. So this ending didn't suprise me, I would have been more surprised if it was the other way around.

[carmolita]

Just keep in mind this is not the end ~only the half way~ mark ..You must understand that when Matsuri Hino's manga was picked for anime she was brought in/consulted on the project, but she only had 3 request 1. she wanted the same voice cast kept as the cd drama 2. she wanted a certain scene changed and 3. I forgot BUT she didn't mind if they changed things however the director liked the way she wrote the story and wanted to keep it as is.. (my source is an interview she did with viz) However I'd rather wait for more story before they animated any more~ then butcher it with ideas other than the authors. I'm a kaname fan, but since you are a zero fan this should give you hope ~ not only did they cut the zero x yuki kiss scene they also cut the kaname x yuki kiss scene which was way steamier. At this point they're getting ready to go up against another adversary, so their is still a lot more story to be told.

WHAT! there was a kiss between yuuki and kaname? And they cut it out? those...that's absurd!

[Sorrow-K]

I didn't mind this, but my big problem with the ending is that Rido was such a disappointing bad guy. He wasn't unique at all, and was just pretty much there so that Zero could have someone to kill, and Kaname could have someone to scheme against. Rido barely fought back, and that's not just physically, but he barely fought back against Kaname's schemes either. And, for that reason, it's no surprised that pretty much everything Kaname set out to do went just according to keikaku ("keikaku" means plan).

Shizuka was a much more interesting bad guy because she was more fleshed out, and wasn't just evil for the sake of it.

[carmolita]

One thing that's not covered in the anime probaly because of time constraints, but in the manga was the fact that Rido was just a tool being used by the counsel to further their agenda. He was going to be more like their puppet. He was never a major adversary other than the fact that he did some really evil things, wanted yuki and his existence bounded kanames powers. The plot leading up to the battle or that takes place along side is much bigger in the manga and never appears in the anime. For example kaname never appears in the rido, battle because he was off somewhere else in a battle of his own. But he does come at the end of the battle thanks zero for killing rido and then zero and kaname have a battle of their own -over yuki. This could never appear in the anime without makeing a season 3(which they don't have enough material for) so the ending was perfect:) As far as kaname and shizuka. They animated the shizuka part in the anime exactly the way it appears in the manga which might be why it seems more complete. However with respect to the anime kanames plans didn't all go accordingly.

[Knight_SV]

one of the worst ending ever

[Guido]

I've already finished watching the last episode to Vampire Knight Guilty today, and likely as many or several of you might have realized this episode was almost full of anime-original content.


I have complains for two major flaws:

First, Rido's final match against Zero & Kaname was downright anti-climatic. The bastard went into snow flakes in one pretty big shot.

Most importantly, the anime portrayed Rido as an outwardly, lecherous fiend who seized every moment on screen to whet his appetite and speaking aloud his fantasies to make Yuki his possession; the writers chose to place his role as the main antagonist and driving force for all the other characters' sufferings.

Second, Zero's behavior and reactions towards Yuuki after confronting each other was flatly inconsistent with the initial emotions of his character.
His restless anguish and inner conflict was seriously downplayed, because the writers made Zero to come-in-terms with Yuuki's true nature in relative ease.

The resolution of their peace-talk was that both became sort of good friends on Christmas-card terms, and that they went their separate ways promising that they'll meet each other again to fulfill their roles as vampire-hunter and vampire enemies.
I read that in the manga the outcome was different. I won't spoil it for the audience, but what little I'll comment is that Zero's inner conflict about his love for Yuuki and his hatred for all purebloods did not rest that easy.


For those two mistakes I would have graded this final episode with a '7', but instead gave it an '8' due how excellent Yuuri's performance came out smoothly when she spoke to both Zero and Kaname at the conclusion.


At short-term there won't be a third season coming, although season two's epilogue leaves things open-ended and with few unanswered mysteries.

Did Takuma really die? and if not, what became of him and Ichiou?
Is there anyone else who still pulls the strings from the backseat to which existence is unknown to Kaname?
Did the plan really went along Kanames' expectations?

We will never know because the anime settle things concluded with Yuuki leaving Cross Academy at Kaname's side, having Ruka, Aidou, and Akatsuki tagging along.
While Zero stays at Cross Academy reminiscing memories of Yuki from back the old days.
Furthermore, the last episode did not end with the subtitle "A sweet dream has not ended yet", like the finale episode to season one did.

There's just not enough manga material for them to make the ending "any more different" than they did. If they really were to spend the time to explain zero's true feelings, and a lot of the other scenes...then theyd have to have a 3rd season given that they were only slated 13 episodes for this season...And they don't have enough material to make a 3rd separate season. As for the whole "sweet dream hasn't ended yet", well we probably won't be seeing a 3rd season anytime soon since the manga comes out very slowly.

All im saying is, sure the last episode might've been disappointing, but given/keeping in mind where the manga currently is, i thought they did a decent job of getting the basic jist of the story

[tomitomomi]

okay so i said that my second post was my last.

i think i'm really good at this. telling things that i don't really do. ;p

i love the ending of vampire knight guilty.

zero telling yuki that if ever they meet again he will kill her.
yuki thinking that the best way to protect zero is to stay away from him.
kaname living his whole life with the one person he ever longed for.

this is better than a happily ever after ending.

and animes with open-ending are better remembered than animes with a happy ending. animes with tragic ending are best remembered. (e.g main character dying at the end of the series)

i know there will be some / many who will contradict this statement.
but this is my opinion. you have yours. and that's okay.

;)

ps.

they say that the ending in the manga is different. and a lot better. i guess i should read that soon. :)

The manga hasn't ended, so you have plenty of time:)

if anything, i would say the manga is better given the fact that it could actually spend some time into going more into detail for certain people/events...

i think the anime ending did perfectly fine given the manga's current position...i can't say the anime ending is better than the mangas..(one reason is that the manga hasn't ended haha), but idk, i thought the manga was interesting

[-Sho-]

Just watch last episode :

OMG , very tired ... yeah not only the worse ending but one of the worse anime too ! Just wanted to know what will happen with Zero and the fight with Rido ! Well , for the one who seek action , he shouldn't try this anime . Rido didn't live longtime ...
Gladly , Yuki let Zero and go with kaname the bastard (he knew what will happen wtf , he's a medium yeah , playing with Zero ) ! Zero should doing his life , it will be better for him , don't purchase Yuki to kill her because he will still suffer ! If there is a new season i will not watch it .

Note 3/10 .

[Hs Vi Germania]

The last episode was disappointing, similar like the whole 2nd season.
The complete harmony and suspense has been taken.
I can only advice to read the manga if you really wanna enjoy it.
Sad but true. >.>

[Kitsune]

Voted PAinful, one of the worsts endings ever seen, completely disappointed with it -.-

[Droplet]

A satisfying ending for me. Even though it didn't follow the manga exactly, it wasn't perfect but a good enough one. Hopefully, there would be a season 3.

10/10

However, it really depresses me to open the first episode of VK again after watching the final episode of VK:G.

Nostalgia overdose.

[kazzu88]

I really enjoyed the series, Hopefully they end up with a third... they did seem to have left it open for a new story.

[xxraffieskieexx]

i'm kinda sad because i will surely miss this anime!! T____T I kinda want more.. Hmm,

I don't feel this final episode.. It lacks something.. I cannot explain.. T_T
Poor Zero.. He was left behind.. tsktsk.. Yuki decided to go with kaname.....

hmm, what will happen to the vampire/human relationship?
oh how i wonder...

*i really don't like kaname's attitude.. tsssss.. he's so arrogant and mean in a way that's hard to explain!! hmph..

[nhoc_sophia]

i love the ending... Kaname deserves Yuuki... I always respect him... compose and cool... He never tried to justify his action or makes them seem heroic.. He simply has 1 goal. And that is to protect Yuuki. Lolz..and he isn't a person without a flaw... like the rest of the people said...Yuuki is his flaw and his sins lolz xD

[dark-kyon]

i like the ending,kaname maybe to the end not end whit yuuki but he is the man in this anime.
vote 8-10

[KimmyChan]

I'd give this last 13th episode of Guilty a 9/10 as I thought it was excellent all round :)

[HollowScar]

Well, there is a chance for a Vampire Knight season 3, as Kaname still has to take a sinister route, which would lead to some sort of tragedy, and Zero as a full vampire hunter, could use some character development. Lot of space for tragedies to occur. Vampire Knight is not done yet.

[PSDOL]

for me its ended a open ending and i cried in the end . poor zero thought but i don't hate it because i know deep down yuuki wanted too be with him but the thing that happened they had too go on there own path . the thing that shows me that even yuuki was with kaname in the end she thought of zero all the way ^_^ and that maded more relized how zero was very much inportant.

thought i was thinking a thing if kaname let go yuuki then that mean that the truely person she loves is zero? i mean kaname didn't foruce her he let her go and all that talking of shizuka that the love of a vampire and a human is stronger then i make one plus one that yuuki truly loves zero but she is the think he hates the most she choose too be with her oni-sama . thats what confuse me in the anime we get too know that zero is the vampire knight but the feelings of yuuki not sure . still likes it:D

[Audit01]

Only 13 episodes...*sigh*
Season 3 please.

PS: I do not give a damn if Yuuki gets laid with Kaname or Zero. I am not the one getting laid or anything so why should i give a damn ???
I like the characters and the romantic prospect of the series but i am not a AxB supporter...
