Vampire Knight 9,

Wow, this is a very good episode, much better than the previous ones. Thanks to the return of the comedy which was absent in the recent episodes. The funny parts in this episode is mainly contributed by Aidou. That guy sure is weird. Abusing his positions as the ‘most popular and most wanted by die hard fangirls’ to tease Yuuki (and his fans) twice! The girls really got mad and jealous. The reason why Aidou did that? Revenge perhaps, or he is just bored.

The main focus in this episode is the arrival of a new character. Kurenai Maria, a transfer ‘vampire’ student who is a loli, because we really need one (a loli vampire). I wasn’t expecting that a character like her will make an appearance, but her arrival made the series more interesting. Now I really have something to look out for, instead of explanations about zero being emo.

Kurenai Maria is an interesting character. Last episode, when she made that laughing voice, she sounded annoying, but I’m glad that she is not. To me, she is just like Kaname, except that she is more daring. Both of them likes Yuuki and hates Zero. She told Yuuki that her blood is delicious, while Kaname wasn’t man enough to do so. Surprisingly, it didn’t bother Yuuki much. Also, she is more evil than Kaname, not that Kaname is actually evil though. My speculation says that she might be a ‘yuri’ character too..^^

In this episode, we finally know the name of the person who killed Zero’s parents. Her name is Hiou Shizuka. Just like what Zero and Aidou said, she resembles Maria. They also talked about the possibility of Shizuka changing her appearance. Interesting. If a pureblood can do that, then this means trouble. That ability can do anything.

It seems that everyone have ‘issues’ with Kurenai Maria. From Adiou to Yugari-sensei and perhaps Kaname too. Zero showed more of his hate than others. I think that the chairman realized that Maria looked like ‘that woman’. But he still insisted that her precious daughter to take care of her. Sure, Yuuki the only day class student other than Zero that knows about the existence of vampires. Hiring a night class student for the job would be troublesome and asking Zero to do it is out of the question. Well, if Maria does something drastic, there are lots of consequences. I’m sure that the chairman, Zero, Yugari-sensei, and Kaname will take action. But we’re talking about a pureblood vampire here, so it will be Kaname’s job.

At the end of the episode, we see someone who resembles Zero. I thought that was Zero at first, but after reading the summaries of a few bloggers, that is not Zero. I mean, what is Zero doing there anyway, so that can’t be Zero. That masked person seems to be a servant of Maria, who serves as a ‘blood-bag’? I’m really interested about why he looks like Zero, his twin brother perhaps. Vampire Knight is really getting interesting now. So, I’m gonna stay away from any spoilers and hopefully I will succeed in doing so.
