I finally understand why
Vampire Knight is called
Vampire Knight. Zero Kiryu is the
Vampire Knight!! \(^.^)/ He is the Knight in Kaname's chessboard and is raised to become the strongest Hunter in order to 'checkmate' the King - Rido Kuran. This is so exciting! Zero is my most favorite character in VK and I can't wait to see how he fights Rido!We finally see Headmaster Kaien Cross in action. He uses a sword as a weapon and easily fights off a Vampire who is trying to attack the Day Class students. He is known as the Legendary Hunter. I love his new look! He looks very cool with his hair down.Rido is finally revived and the battle between the good and the evil is about to start! Next episode is titled 'Our 2 lives'. It's not clear whose lives they are referring to. My guess is Zero and Yuuki.
Episode 10
The Academy is no longer calm and peaceful. Headmaster Cross orders all Day Class students to return home via an emergency route. However, the class president reports that some girls have not assembled. Headmaster Cross then orders all students to gather at the lecture hall.
2 Day Class girls sneak out to the Moon Dorm to see their Night Class idols. On their way, they are attacked by Vampires who are under Rido's control. Akatsuki, Ruka and Seiren save them in time.
The 2 girls are shocked to see Vampires. They try to run away but another Vampire tries to attack them. This time round, Headmaster Cross arrives in time to save them.
Yuuki returns back to her room to change. She is determined to protect the Academy as a guardian. She brings along her artemis rod and Kaname's rose.
Yori is worried about Yuuki as she cannot find her in the lecture hall. Yori sneaks out to look for Yuuki. When she's outside, a group of Vampires tries to attack her. Aidou and Yuuki appears in time to save her.
Yuuki promises to protect Yori with her life. However, when she attempts to use her artemis rod, the rod rejects her.
Aidou steps in and uses his ice attack to kill all the Vampires.
Yuuki reveals to Yori that she's a Vampire. Yori hugs her and accepts her as she is. Yori promises to be her good friend no matter what.
Kaname appears and asks Aidou to bring Yuuki to a safe place to rest.
Headmaster Cross feels down. He wants to look for the Hunter Association President
(the gay!) to settle matters with him. Yagari kicks him and asks him to take care of the Academy matters instead. Yagari promises to do whatever he can as a Hunter.
A group of Hunters arrive at the Academy under the orders of the Association President. They request Yagari to hand over Zero. However, Yagari refuses. The Hunters are of no match for Yagari. They decide to return but before they do, they ask Yagari why he goes against the President's orders. He coolly replies, 'Are his orders always right?'.
Aidou brings Yuuki back to Shizuka's room to rest. When Yuuki refuses to sleep, he uses a hypnotizing-like power to make her sleep.
Meanwhile, Ichijou brings Shiki out of the room, away from Rido's body, to another room to rest. Ichijou then takes his sword and leaves the room to do what he has to do.
While Yuuki is sleeping, she dreams of Shizuka. Yuuki is able to feel Shizuka's emotions.
When she wakes up, Kaname is there and he comforts her. Kaname informs her of his plan to bring her away to a safe place. Yuuki is against that idea as she wants to stay to protect her loved ones. However, Kaname insists that she does.
After Kaname leaves the room, Yuuki also wants to leave. However, Aidou stops her. Yuuki tells Aidou that she has been living as a human and everyone has been helping her and protecting her. If she denies all those feelings, she doesn't know how to move on. Aidou understands her feelings and decides to pretend to go out of the room and leave the room unguarded for her to leave.
Since Yuuki can't wield her artemis rod, she decides to use a gun to protect her loved ones.
Rido has revived!
Kaname pays Zero a visit. However, Zero does not want to see him.Kaname reveals to Zero that he is the Knight he has been raising for the past 4 years. Zero is part of Kaname's chess play and is raised to become the strongest Hunter in order to kill the King - Rido Kuran.
Kaname also reveals that:- Zero's instinct took away half of Ichiru's powers when they were in their mother's womb. With that one and the half person's power, Zero was born into a hunter's family.
(Due to'The Curse of the Hunter Twins', in a hunter's family, no twins are born as one will absorb the powers of the other. In Kiryu's case, Zero only absorbed half the powers so Ichiru managed to survive.)- The blood Zero has taken from Yuuki is awakened along with Yuuki's awakening. The blood possesses the power of the Kuran family.- Finally, Kaname also gave Zero his blood, which contains Shizuka's power.Due to the above, Zero has the potential to become the strongest Hunter and is the only one who can release Kaname from Rido's shackles.
Zero iniatially rejects the idea. But when Kaname reveals Rido's plan to devour Yuuki, Zero appears shocked and seems to have a change of heart.
