Hrm, I hadn't thought of that. Good point.

It all depends on what Ikeda wants to do, but I think it would be more logical to make the main antagonist into someone that the reader already knows quite a lot about, rather then a completely unknown person.

If they do turn out to be the main villains, I'll be disappointed. Ikeda hasn't written any shallow characters in his manga, and if Hokuo and Kiria are just picking up where they left off at the academy, they'll be the exception. It disheartens me when people don't learn from their mistakes, and the thought of Hokuto learning nothing after what he saw after his defeat, that's just tragic. Reminds me of comic book villains who never change regardless of what happens, I kinda hoped writers had moved beyond that mentality.

As for Gyokuro, there's more thing that was revealed about her. She hates Akasha and Moka, the "other woman" and her offspring. And with Akasha dead, that all but assuredly left Gyokuro as the leading lady at Castle Shuzen, which I surmise is a much different place than when Akasha was alive and well. And since Kahlua revealed to Kokoa that the entire Shuzen family is supporting Fairy Tale (which could mean the entire Japanese vampire nation is helping them), it's obvious that wouldn't happen unless someone at the top made the decision. Either a distraught Issa or an exultant Gyokuro, my money's on the latter. As you said earlier, Akasha would've never allowed her daughter to have been used for a destructive purpose. I'm sure she would've put down any possible genocide plots within the family as well, she definitely had the power. But now that she's gone... well I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Hrm, I'm not so sure if she belongs to the 1st subdivision, Miyabe only said he hired her for the Snow Maiden operation. And negated the order to exterminate the village, which most likely came from the CEO at HQ, thus defying them yet again. Or, she could've been assigned to the 1st subdivision because of the obvious friction between them and HQ, another possibility. But, if she and Akuha are part of the same unit, she explicitly told Kokoa to prevent any possible contact between Moka and Akuha. Which means Akuha still doesn't know about Tsukune. I find it adds a little intrigue when the bad team doesn't entirely work in cohesion.

They're not my artwork, its Art i found online, hell i'm not that good with Art

Back on topic, do you think that some of the vampires in the vampire nation would help Tsukune's side, like some that might go rogue from the Shuzen family?

Well, if we take Kokoa and Moka into consideration then some of the vampires from have already "joined" Tsukune's side. If you ask if some more "major vampire characters are going to join Tsukune's side - well, it depends on who the future enemy (after Fairy Tale's HQ) is going to be. Although, personally speaking I doubt that any new "companions" are going to join "Tsukune's group", which is quite large already, and with the addition of Fong Fong and Ling Ling some of the members of Tsukune's team are already getting less screen time...

Of course, it's up to Ikeda, but, in my opinion, Tsukune's group doesn't need "new members" on their team.

[Tachibana]

Well at some point in the future the Shuzen families ties will be severed with Fairy Tale as a result of not only the raid of Fairy Tale HQ but of Moka's and Tsukune's destiny and your right Kokoa and Moka are on the same side as Tsukune, so thats two from the Shuzen family, but this is the reason i asked about that, i see Issa and Gyokuro not as actual enemies but those who would observe the situation until they make their move, Kahlua out of them all will be more prone to join Tsukune's side for Moka's sake, her love would allow her to overcome her job as an assassin.

[GrrDraxin]

Nope. BUT, new "allies" like Sun would be useful for future adventures. Tsukune seems to have a talent for gathering some of the more powerful beings around him as friends and allies. So even if they aren't in the main group, they're still willing to come to his aid should they be called upon. Though we have yet to see such a summons happen that was called by Tsukune himself. But we have plenty of time for surprises.

[Chris38]

Well, in my opinion, the Shuzen family are more likely to become the next antagonist, rather then "ally" themselves with Tsukune's group.

After all, you seemed to overlook the fact that Gyukuro hates Moka as well, so I doubt that Shuzen family is going to "ally" themselves with Moka and Tsukune, while Gyukuro is still a member of the Shuzen family.

In other words the conflict between Moka / Gyukuro (and by extension Akasha) would have to be resolved, before the "possibility" of the Shuzen family, becoming allies with Tsukune's group, is going to be opened.

[kenjiharima]

Tsukune's allies gained so far

Miyamoto - karate lolicon
Sun the siren
The Wongs - Linlin, TimTim and fanfan
Tohou Fuhai - Tsukune's new "training master"


Also don't forget the the R+V moms of the girls might play a role later on.

Man I really want a chapter where all the moms are there and daughters.

[GrrDraxin]

I didn't specify the Shuzens' other then Kokoa and Moka, though more of them on Tsukune's side would be better, I just don't see it happening. But you DO have to admit that Tsukune does have the remaining dark lords as allies, and some fairly powerful people as well. I'm sure that if Akasha were around, and aware of Tsukune and his talents, she'd support him too. Thus Tsukune would (technically) have the support of all the dark lords, and thus while he's not all that powerful himself, his influence to bring out the good in others, and make them see the better side of people, makes him a valuable asset for the greater good.

I highly doubt the Shuzen family will become a major antagonist, but only for the Rescue Moke Arc, i still believe there is something "wrong" with the Shuzen families alliance with Fairy Tale, even if Gyokuro hates Moka and Akasha. Tsukune and his group must also put Ura-Moka's and Omote-Moka's feelings in consideration as well as Kokoa's for their family as well, Kahlua and Akua may be the only enemies from the Shuzen family that Tsukune has to fight, well Akua is his opponent while Kahlua will probably be left to the others, but i don't really see Issa or Gyokuro actually fighting, i see them more as the observers of the situation.

Indeed, Akasha would give Tsukune her full support if she was around and also wonder why the Shuzen family has allied themselves with such an organization, and i also agree that, yes, Tsukune does have the power to change others hearts, i guess you can call this his own personal ability, his influence will reach Kahlua and Akua first before the rest of the Shuzen family, it makes you think what kind of influence Tsukune will have on the rest of the Shuzen family.

But even if they don't become Tsukune's allies, they'd give support to him from time to time in the future, because of Moka's (Both) and Kokoa's involvement with him, that sounds more of what the Shuzen family would actually do but NOT future enemies.

I wonder if Tsukune will have an encounter with Issa or Gyokuro themselves.....

*rolls in and peeks out from over fictions*

Concerning the question as to why they allied with Fairy Tale, the simple ended answer? they're vampires.

Spoiler for Past Concerns:

It was said in the flashback that the Shuzen were part of some sort of underworld and dubious allocations to begin with. Think of it as capitalism on peace. Vampires naturally are born with their hands on dirty money, but its not often necessarily bad (The lesser of two evils comes to mind). If they are in control of the evil, than they can either be assured as to what is going on under their noses and also be able to control the outcome to better an advantage.

Its the idea of warmongering but in another mentality.Without the Shuzen family keeping some semblance of control on dirty deeds in the underworld things can get out of hand like leaving dogs to live in the wild, oft breeds wild dogs that become a danger to society and those around it, so why not control the guard dogs instead?

I hope that makes some sense, I am not very good at explaining such things, odd considering my hobby. In any case I think there are alot of things that should be considered, especially looking back to old chapters and things going on now. There were always signs in some way or another hn? There are things that happened in the past that are coming into play now.

[Johnny]

That and most vampires think humans are nothing more then food if early Inner Moka's attitude was an example...

[Tachibana]

I guess we really don't have much more to discuss on this matter to why the Shuzen familly allied themselves with Fairy Tale, but we will find out in the Rescue Moka Arc no doubt.

If we are lucky we will be seeing chapter 41 next week, i hope it will bring a conclusion to Tsukune's transformation.

[tyranuus]

Hi guys, if I get a chance, I'm considering adapting the 'story so far' into a novelised form; partially so people have something to read to catch up, and also as practice of my own writing skills.
If I WAS to do such a thing, would any of you be interested in reading a sample chapter if I was to post it, to try and work out if it was worth me bothering continuing?

My rough goal overall would be translating the story Ikeda has presented us so far faithfully into a novelised format, but perhaps with some extra filler/side material [please note I'm not talking plot diversion/waste of time style anime filler, but as extra scenes etc between key ones now and then, if you've ever seen Spice and Wolf (a largely faithful translation) and read the books you may get what I mean] in keeping with the story at that point in the overall plotline, to try and escape some of the limitations we have in terms of content per chapter and the need to progress in line with these chapters that a manga faces.

Let me know what you think (bearing in mind this is IF I get time)

[GrrDraxin]

Go for it. I proofread fanfictions so this should be right down my alley. But it would do you good to have multiple persons opinions too if you get others to read.

Image Time

Spoiler for fan arts:

K-on Moka!!! XD









As always there is one awesome Mizore image

[Magin]

The first, third and fourth ones are absolute cuteness with a dash of awesomeness thrown in

On the bright side, four days left till the chapter's out... and then we'll have a month and a half to wait after that... dammit.

[Tachibana]

Not really, we have all been used to waiting for raws of the chapter to come out on the 3rd which is a month, if 21st of each month is the new release for the raws than it's still the equivalent of waiting a month, but if the time of waiting is extended or not will be understandable considering what has happened...

Hopefully in good time things will return to normal
