Barasuishou wasn't a real Rozen Maiden at all--that's why she fell apart after winning. The real Father was the one who brought the other girls back to life, and did indeed tell Shinku to go find Sousei and Hina's Rosa Mysticae. Set up for 3rd season, anyone?

So in short: Real Father=good, fake Father=deserves a horribly painful death.

However, even though the"true" Barasuishou has appeared, it seems like she's in cahoots with Laplace for some reason....

Spoiler:

But Shinku obtained all of the Rosa Mysticas from all of the "true" Rozen Maidens... shouldn't she have technically won if Bara wasn't a legal competitor in the first place?

That's what I don't understand...
