Hmm, there is one thing I've been kind of scratching my head over. In the manga timeline, how long ago from their current time was Tsukune's last injection of Moka's blood?
We all know that it takes about 8 weeks for normal human blood to regenerate back to normal levels, but it is unknown how long vampire blood persists in one's system(or how long it takes to regenerate), and it could be possible that Moka's blood had taken up residence in Tsukune's bone marrow and is providing him more vampire blood along side his normal human blood, thus why he hasn't had a craving for blood. That one incident was probably because the ratio of his human blood to his vampire blood was out of balance at the time, but has since then found a good balance at this point. Of course the technical stuff being that blood lasts for about 100 to 120 days before going to get recycled, so it may be possible that Tsukune's body in incapable of destroying the vampire cells, or they just last long than the 100 or so days. After all, the school was closed for about 6 months, and if vampire blood cells had comparable lifetimes, then they'd already left Tsukune's system by now. But that doesn't seem to be the case. I'd say it's too good to be true to have blood that persisted usefully for a very long time, but also to have the ability to regenerate it at a very fast rate when there is a loss of blood. And it seems that most youkai have this ability, more so in vampires and in Tsukune now. So maybe Tsukune's human blood regenerates at it's normal rate, and also gained the ability to produce vampire blood to supplement it should a sudden loss occur, like a backup auxiliary system. Though I (should) doubt that there was a transplanting of marrow from Moka to Tsukune when she injected him... but then again, she did do it through her fangs, so chances are that there probably was some that got out of her bones supporting her unique dental features. and those traces found a nice place to set up shop within Tsukune.

There is also the fact that every time he goes ghoul, it's around the times he gets wounded in ways that lead to major blood loss. Even in season 2 when he had to be pulled back from the brink involved this. But it seems like the time with Hokuto wasn't entirely because of that either. But if I recall, Hokuto was just battering Tsukune rather than trying to slice him to ribbons, and the only time we see any ghoulishness is when Tsukune stopped and held Hokuto just long enough to defeat him. But even that didn't last long.

Well in my opinion when Tsukune's bite marks have become visible and he started to experience severe pain from his neck is the time where I think we have to look for clues surrounding the mysteries of Tsukune's current blood ... since if you noticed GrrDraxin when Tsukune got slashed during his second encounter with Saizou was the first time when he got revived (when being near death) by the power of the vampire blood ... without needing a injection of new blood from Moka - as it was before .... so either at that point Tsukune had already some of Moka's marrow from her injection's or that with every injection he has got Tsukune's body has been changing slightly and when his body have started to hurt, this change had gotten to the point that Tsukune's own bone marrow's had started to produce blood similar to Moka's vampire blood. It was mentioned before right., that the vampire blood has healing power's that make vampires be called immortal, so changing the genetic information related to blood production in Tsukune's body shouldn't be that difficult for such potent blood. (It was probably a very slight change, that would probably fade in time ... if Tsukune hasn't got more vampire blood in his system during that period of time of course ... ) I mean Tsukune was able to recover from such an serious injury and has lost a lot of blood (and later during his encounter with Midou, Tsukune was able to withstand attacks that would kill a normal human), so if at point his body hadn't generated vampire blood on his own (probably a limited amount - since it was still reversible from what we have gathered in Inner Moka's talk during the battle with Midou, before things have gotten out of hand) Because, as you GrrDraxin I think that if Tsukune's body didn't generate vampire blood on it's own, so unless the vampire blood cells are indestructible they have to be generated inside Tsukune's body in some way. Now the question that needs to be answered is how the human blood is generated if Tsukune's body is in this condition ... Quote:
Now in Tsukune's fight with Hokuto he used a lot of youkai energy (most of it probably to recover from the wounds that he got during the fight) and as a result his body started to approach it's tolerance limits. Well that's my opinion on this topic, but even after saying all this I still scratch my head wondering if it makes some sense (I think it's correct, but ....), well in a way I think I now why you're so scratching you're head over this GrrDraxin |

From what I know they appear whenever he changes into his vampire form (the last time they have appeared was in chapter 21 page 30) ... and it's not like they are the same size as Inner Moka's fangs, so it's not suprising that you haven't remembered a small detail like this ...

But even if Tsukune isn't technically a vampire, when he starts to use his power, his appearance start's to resemble a vampire more .. I mean his hair color and eyes still change when Tsukune start's to use his youkai energy and on some occasions it's also made apparent that two of Tsukune's front teeth have elongated a bit, making them look almost like vampire fangs ... well maybe they are a bit too small to call them fangs, but they appear and change Tsukune's appearance a little ... making him look a little more badass in my opinion (I mean toogether with his vampire eyes and more reddish hair - and more mature looks it's definitely a improvement compared to how Tsukune looks when he isn't using his vampire power's.)

They don't look like fangs - they are longer teeth. And long teeth does not mean he can suck blood with them...only pierce the skin and drink easier.
