Yes, a week later and I am FINALLY doing a post. I apologize. I won't make excuses. I am a lazy bum who needs to stop sitting around. The first step is admitting you have a problem, right?
OK, just got done watching episode 10. I wanna say it was AMAZING. One of the best episodes, in my opinion, of the entire season.
Right, I'm going to jump right into this and say - HOLY CRAP. HOLY FREAKING CRAP.
I'm going to try to go in order. I honestly can't remember which episode is which. They all seem so meshed together since they all end with cliffhangers! So I know my thought process might be hard to follow this post.
I do know that episode 9 was when Yuuki went to see Zero at the beginning. Zero was holding a gun up at the door, and basically told her to go away. Then Yuuki said, "That's right Zero. The Yuuki you knew was eaten by the vampire Yuuki." while smiling evily. (Which was creepy, just so you know.) My friend asked WHY she would do that. Since she was obviously very upset after she left Zero's door. My opinion was that she was trying to give Zero an out. She knew that Zero would never hate her if she told him that she was exactly the same as before just in vampire form. It would be KILLING him though. All his life he HATED vampires, especially the pure bloods. To suddenly have his best friend (and love interest) turn into the thing he hates most AND still have this need to protect her...well he would never be able to live with it peacefully. The fact that she was Kuran just made it worse. She was severing the tie FOR him.
Yuuki being a vampire wasn't a big surprise for me. I wasn't sure HOW it was going to work but it was almost inevitable. I want a more lengthy explanation on HOW Julie (Juuri? They keep changing it in the sub) put the human disguise over Yuuki. I mean it changed her eating habits and EVERYTHING. She lived without blood for ten years! Unless she was living off her mothers blood, but even then...you would think it would run out after ten years. We finally saw their father too. I'm a little confused by the vampire aging process. Her parents had said they lived over three-thousand happy years together. They DO age it seems. Just over what time span? There are really OLD looking vampires, then there are these vampires claiming to be alive over three-thousand years and looking like they're in their mid twenties.
Yuuki suddenly having long hair bugs me. Ok..I respect that she was somehow a human when she was really a vampire. THE MAGICAL HAIR GROWTH HOWEVER, I DO NOT APPROVE OF. That's when you know you're watching shoujo. Magical hair growth.
I really enjoyed seeing the vampires fight a bit in episode 10. I never knew what Ruka's special ability was. Akatsuki uses flame, Aidou uses ice, and Ruka can control thought process? Or at least she gives the evil eye to people attacking her and they turn on EACH OTHER. I'm also hyped to see Chairman in his badass vampire hunting mode! I'm currently torn. I want to see him fight more, but I don't want to see him being SAD. If he fights he'll be sad. D=
Oh, and Aidou was amazing these past three episodes. Watching him have to switch to referring to the 'sama' honorific with Yuuki is hilarious. He so badly just wants to YELL at her. "PUT ON YOUR SHO- I MEAN, PLEASE PUT ON YOUR SHOES, YUUKI-SAMA." When Yuuki pulled up her skirt to attach Artemis to her thigh and Aidou FLIPS out....it was just too great.
Speaking of Artemis. That was one of the things that bothered me about Yuuki and Kaname being siblings. The fact that she could wield Artemis with vampire blood in her confuses me. I know it was more than just a DISGUISE but wouldn't her blood still be that of a vampires? I just don't understand how her body could of changed that much.
I got sick of Yuuki crying all the time in this episode. I know she's dealing with a lot but I want her to stop crying and TRY to take charge. Which obviously, at the end of this episode, she decided to do. I find Kaname to be positively selfish. He wants Zero to defeat Rido while he takes Yuuki away after having it SLAMMED in his face that Yuuki is a pure blood vampire that happens to be Kaname's little sister. Then he guilt trips Yuuki saying that he had her ripped away from him and has suffered from it for the past ten years. "And you don't want me to continue on living this way, do you?" Ugh. UGH UGH UGH. Kaname is making it positively IMPOSSIBLE for me not to hate him. He treats this entire thing like a game of chess. EVERYONE is his pawn. Including Yuuki.
Ok, so I'm just a little confused. Was the voice that Yuuki was hearing all the time (not her little kid voice, I mean the more adult one) Shizuka's or her vampire self? Was that apparition of Shizuka just because she was in THAT room, or was it because, for some reason, Shizuka is a part of Yuuki? Also, who exactly was Shizuka talking about? "I'll lend you this flesh and body, if you give me your heart." Was she talking TO Yuuki? Was it a flashback to something Rido said to her, or something she said to Rido. OR was she talking about Ichiru? I should probably go re watch it. That might shine some light on the entire thing.
I'm glad we got to see another side of Yori. I always thought she was very...vague. I like that about her though.
So now we have three people who are going to try and kill Rido.
Ichijou, who I assume is going to go after him. That was my take on what he said. After witnessing Kaname's failure to kill Rido's body and seeing that he COULDN'T, and the fact that Rido is now in his own body. Not Shiki's. I'm almost positive that he is going after him.
Yuuki who just wants to protect the people she cares about instead of being the one protected.
And of course, the ever wonderful Zero. Whom we all know still cares for Yuuki deeply even after she tried to sever the ties for him. He will go after Rido and will find Yuuki there, and more than likely, Yuuki will be in a situation she can't control. I have a feeling that she will manage to use Artemis during that battle. There's a reason it shows her holding Artemis in the opening. After all, as she kept saying in this episode, she may be a vampire, but she's still a guardian.
I have said my piece. So now I will leave you with this:
Watch it if you've seen the Twilight movie and you didn't enjoy it. (OR if you have a sense of humor about the series) I cried I was laughing so hard. It seriously WAS how the movie went.
Till next time!
