The puppets may dance but the puppeteer may not always be apparent. Kaname achieved his primary goal of getting Yuuki back by his side and his chess game was a part of that, the fact remains that Kaname has too many secrets for me to trust that he has good intentions. He protected Yuuki but in the process left chaos in his wake Kaname seems to want things both ways and of course we know that is not possible. But it seems others are moving their own pieces that may and probably do conflict with Kaname's. Yuuki has been the ultimate pawn which is why i laughed when she said she was not the same its not true, I believe when Yuuki has to stand on her own with no help for the first time will determine if her character succeeds or fails, if we really want to see what Yuuki is made of we need to remove Kaname from equation just like how Zero was removed. Zero who was also a pawn has started to come into his own but the mysteries are far from over. Im certain there is another player in the game that we are not aware off that will offset the balance. I actually support Zero's stance on PureBloods for the simple fact that he thinks Purebloods are the source of the turmoil in his world. He is wrong but i understand his reasoning. I think many forget that Zero is a hunter not a high school student anymore his job is to hunt vampires. His feelings towards vampires are justified. However he needs to break the cycle of hate or he will never find peace. Zero will never so easily take back the words he spoke to Yuuki especially with what just happened in the past chapter.

It will probably be no surprise to some of us (and a lot surprise to others) when Kaname's real intentions are revealed. In a way, I really hope VK ends soon. I just want to know what will happen at the end. Quote:

I agree with what you say about Zero. Until he gives up on that blind hatred, he won't be able to move forward with Yuuki or with his own life.

Decent chapter. I really liked Yuki in this chapter. This is more the Yuki I like, the one that seemed to have disappear for the past year. It seems she can't completely defy Kaname yet but she at least took steps towards with her actions with Aidou. She's likes throwing herself headfirst into this situations so now we'll see how she handles it now that's she a pureblood. I look at Yuki as the one who can redeem purebloods in my mind. There's no more VC but yet purebloods still are unable to stop playing games with others lives.
Yori's a bit of an odd one. Her whole apology for not smelling the blood was funny. I wonder where they're taking her character. I also wonder why the hunter didn't at least stay alive long enough to tell them who it was that bit him but I guess that would be too convenient. Hell they should have at least given him a remorseful "rosebud" before he died. Poor guy. Quote:

It's probably just me, but I'm beginning to find that Amano-sensei is dragging things out a bit too much. My attention is wearing thin - bordering boredom. T_T Maybe I'll just wait until she finishes the whole thing and jump straight to the end just to see who's the last one standing.

It was a quiet chapter. Still, good stuff. One point I was confused on...the hunter who was manipulated by Sara and killed Ouri and was found by Zero and the Chairman..was female? I thought it was a guy? Or are they separate incidents?
I agree, I liked how Rima came right out and said how she didn't remember Yuuki wearing heels. And the part about how Yuuki kept trying to make Kaname not feel bad about the vampires' history-that it was all in the past. But HE WAS THERE. He's definitely keeping something from her. I think Yuuki is going to break the rules and try and discover what it is. Hopefully. The only disappointment of the chapter was that there wasn't much Zero. I LOVED the beautiful cover for it though! |

Agree with everything you stated iv had these same feelings for a long time now. Which is why i support Zero in his actions and not Kaname.
However i will admit it was nice to see a bit of the old Yuki shinning through and Rima was right Kaname's perception of what Yuki should look like is off. Iv never liked her dressed in little doll dresses with heels it just isnt her.

Decent chapter as a whole. We get some insight into the reasoning behind why Sara killed Ouri. Though I do wonder how she feels that becoming Queen will allow her not to become like the other purebloods. Is this more ambition than anything else?
The past was fairly interesting. Some theories panned out as the Purebloods had a war in the past that thinned them out after that apparently immortality causes an impotence than even the strongest Viagra can't cure. Kaname apparently was in the center of this war but he's still dancing around the issue and has revealed any of it to Yuuki. Yuuki at least in this chapter while she doesn't call him out on his misdirections she stills sees them and will on her own pursue things One thing that caught my attention this chapter was that Kaname dressing up of Yuuki was brought up in manga. I've never actually taken the time to consider why he does it, I always assumed it was because he was an ass, but this chapter made me consider the question. I wondered about these "whims" especially the long hair one which felt a bit odd to me. I've begun to wonder if in fact Kaname is dressing her up to match a previous lover, the one that he might be holding the shards off we see in his previous flashbacks. It would make sense that they would resemble each other greatly as the family practices inbreeding. Now I wouldn't normally consider such a thing because the level of patheticness needed to do something like this is pretty astronomical but lately I've found purebloods pretty pitiful.

Haha, I couldn't agree more! Kaname dressing up Yuuki for that reason is an interesting theory. I miss her short hair and her spunk, that's for sure. She needs to do some sneaking soon to figure out what Kaname's up to!

I hope she doesn't cut her hair, I like it when the main character has a permanent physical change (and I prefer her with long hair over short hair), something most manga's rarely do. |

I can understand Kaname's secretiveness and his strategic actions in this political arena but I cannot understand, nor can I agree with, Kaname deciding how Yuuki should dress or what she looks like. Although I like Kaname, I am disappointed that his character would reach this low. T_T
...I guess after all that's happened and all the changes the characters (Zero, Yuuki, and Kaname) have undergone; my views of them changed as well. Zero and Kaname are now pretty much at a tie in my books. *shakes head at Kaname* -_- On another note, I wonder if Kaname wants Yuuki to dress that way because she looks more like Juuri...hmmm, maybe Kaname really likes Juuri after all. Hell, I prefer Juuri over Yuuki...at least her mother wasn't as indecisive and "weak" like her.

Ugh! Now we have to wait until February for a new chapter! Anyways, I liked this chapter. Ended interestingly. Yuuki's coming off stronger-a good thing. I found Aidou a bit annoying. The convo between Kaito and Zero was good-Kaito hit it right on the money about Zero underneath being emotionally unstable. Zero's going to crack at some point. And Yuuki ending purebloods' lives? Hmmm...I don't know if she can really do it. And would Kaname ever be included in that? We'll have to see!
