Who best fits Yuuki? Who is made for her? Zero Or Kaname? And why?
OR
I know both are but what about what Yuuki needs?

Α forum dedicated to Hino's Matsuri best-seller manga Vampire Knight and the manga we love
Haha cant help but comment on this.Despite the tease and the laughter, seriously Yuuki should threat him with Artemis once or a while; why she does not have the same right?
the point of the chapter 12 example was to show how Zero generalized his hatred, and still did after that incident.- Yes , you did bring kaname in the discussion. You brought up chapter 12.
again I showed example he was generalizing to show relation to how he might act in the future, but this doesnt mean it has to be accurate because events happen and it might influence him to think otherwise.- Ofcourse Zero does the generalzing. But my belief is that
1. he has improved now that his whole life has become more stable
2. He doesn't count yuuki in.
- Zero's never been one to talk a lot. He never said he loved yuuki in the first arc until the end. Does that mean he didn't , no. It says nothing about his interest or about him. Yuuki's the only one who's saying things. And she's making assumptions
no, because Zero doesn't talk much nor does his face hence what is convincing? he could be doing that out of something else, which also makes sense, but of course again we are not here to deny that he still cares.
- If you think that he could give blood to someone he hates..help someone he hates to achieve her goals..protect someone he hates....Then I won't be able to convince you. If actions aren't enough, the only thing that could convince you, I think, is him saying that he still loves her. Well he won't,at least for now, the situation is too complicated right now
of course.
I don't think we'll agree on this point, so what abaut a peaceful truce (? is that even how you write it? sorry off topic)
intil the manga prooves one of us wrong?
neither option really offers unbiased opinion. so let me offer one. she went for his neck because she's hungry. Zero is Food and he's offering a small piece of himself when he can offer more, why go for the bite size when she can take bigger portions? A hungry girl offered a free meal shouldn't refuse, or in this case, be polite in her servings.
(And yes, if Zero offers you blood from his wrist and you insist on
looking at his face and going for his neck, you [sorry, i mean Yuuki]
have some attraction towards Zero. Yuuki is kind of cheating on Kaname
there or she thinks Yume is no more. If its the first option, bad on
you yuuki. If she just wanted to check on the level E thing, blood from
the wrist has the same taste as blood from the neck)
why not? and why should this be an improvement when not a moment ago he had pointed a gun to Yuki who did nothing but make a simple comment? if anything he got worst as simple compliments was enough to irritate him.
The old Zero would have threatened Sara with the gun also (re: chapter
46 when he threatened both Yuuki and Kaname with the gun when Kaname
walked in on a gun-aimed-at-yuuki scene)
(I brought this up in
another thread: sweetsolace thinks that Zero didn't want to make the
already suspicious Sara become more suspicious.)
of course she would be quenched, she says herself she's been holding back her thirst and we all saw she couldn't tolerate the tablets. She would be abnormal if she's not quenched by blood. She also knows she only has to take a little to be satisfied. She knows the consequences of walking around and being hungry, and the consequence is being able to bite a human, aka Yori.
The only time I've seen Yuuki's thirst quenched was only in chapter 74, after drinking Zero's blood.
This
chapter 74 bite is not just about a hunger for only blood and not the
man, especially since Yuuki is showing physical interest in Zero just
before biting Zero.
oh? how? does it show from his bland apathetic expression or his actions?
Zero should have doubts to how Yuuki sees him now (chapter 75),
does she make a move? does Zero make a move? check the manga and see if its happening. the only thing going for them now is the blood attachment even that is questionable in some ways
For Zeki to happen, I still say its Yuuki's move. I think they have a real chance.
Despite the tease and the laughter, seriously Yuuki
should threat him with Artemis once or a while; why she does not have
the same right?
right poor Yuki she is always threatened as if being a pureblood is her fault now. And of course Zero should be forgiven because his hatred is naturally-occuring--Yuki is right to be more understanding to someone like Zero. she is the only one who can. LOLHaha cant help but comment on this.
She
cant bring out Artemis. Because then it might just bring out Zero's M
tendencies and he'll get real excited >.< He's probably always
bringing out that gun so Yuuki would bring out her weapon too >.<
Bad bad Zero

but ofc knowing zero and as ive said its just a zero trait, a repeat of zero trait in the first arc where he also pointed to Ruka just for saying something. in short there's still a bud in his mind generalizing his hate to all, and he cant make that distinction yet.
of course she would be quenched, she says herself she's been holding back her thirst and we all saw she couldn't tolerate the tablets. She would be abnormal if she's not quenched by blood.

though the idea of yuki taking out artemis is hilarious i want to see her "point" it to him if he starts pointing his gun to her too, LOL, lets see what happens.....
caela wrote:The question here is "Does Zero love Yuuki more than he hates Purebloods?" (Well, the real question is who is best for Yuuki, but....)
From MariangieFor Zero to accept at last his love for Yuuki and confess his true feelings for Yuuki. He will needs to change a lot of his actual values and conceptions. Has to open himself to her . Not easy for him to do. As he has many doubts about how Yuuki see him . Because he has perceived by her blood in the past the one she loved is Kaname .
In the forum, Zero is generally known as not a pervert and is seen as a gentleman (except he's not gentle, oh well) Meaning he follows social laws: He will not be advancing a relationship with Yuuki while he still thinks she has a fiancee. He is not a homewrecker (I love that term.)
For any Zeki romanace, Yuuki will have to be the one to confess feelings.
(And yes, if Zero offers you blood from his wrist and you insist on looking at his face and going for his neck, you [sorry, i mean Yuuki] have some attraction towards Zero.

If she just wanted to check on the level E thing, blood from the wrist has the same taste as blood from the neck)
Like Anneliez said: Zero never shot the gun. It is not yet clear if Zero still hates Purebloods more than his love for Yuuki. In fact in the latest chapter, he actually lowered gun of his own volition when Sara, another pureblood, passed by. He is improving slowly. The old Zero would have threatened Sara with the gun also (re: chapter 46 when he threatened both Yuuki and Kaname with the gun when Kaname walked in on a gun-aimed-at-yuuki scene)
(I brought this up in another thread: sweetsolace thinks that Zero didn't want to make the already suspicious Sara become more suspicious.)
He probably still hates purebloods though.
(Yes Juliet, even raising a gun on someone you love is a bad sign, but its not like Kaname never said: if you leave me i'll kill you or you'll kill me...Us normal human girls should run away from both Zero and Kaname if either confess love to us, and as said elsewhere VK has different rules from our reality)
P.S. I do think a gun is more dangerous than a verbal threat, but both are things a real boyfriend/spouse should NOT do.
From Mariangie...As he has many doubts about how Yuuki see him . Because he has perceived by her blood in the past the one she loved is Kaname .
About blood tasting showing love:
in Chapter 49 (mangareader net page 33) and 51 (mr page 29) Kaname says something twice: He says that only the blood of a loved one quenches thirst. I trust Kaname's words more than any other character because I've seen that he lies the least. The only time I've seen Yuuki's thirst quenched was only in chapter 74, after drinking Zero's blood.
This chapter 74 bite is not just about a hunger for only blood and not the man, especially since Yuuki is showing physical interest in Zero just before biting Zero.
What Zero tasted in Yuuki's blood in chapter 46(where he kisses Yuuki and the last time he tasted her blood):
According to Kaname in chapter 49 Manga reader page 17, Yuuki is half-in-love with Zero. I am not arguing that this supports Yuuki being in love with Zero in chapter 75 but the last time Kaname had some of Yuuki's blood before chap 49 was when Kaname transformed her into a vampire (chapter 35). Which means that Yuuki's half love for Zero could be tasted in chapter 46, when Zero bit Yuuki. I'm assuming her blood tasted better to Zero then as compared to the earlier Zeki bites. He let Yuuki go to Kaname, not because he thought she had no feelings for him (Zero), but because at that point in time he did hate purebloods more than he loved Yuuki. In fact, Zero kissed her (the first and only time) only after he tasted her blood.
Zero should have doubts to how Yuuki sees him now (chapter 75), but that's because he expressed to her that he wants all purebloods dead and Yuuki is a pureblood. Does Yuuki see through Zero's routine? Yes, she called his bluff in Chapter 75 by daring him to pull the trigger to shoot her and calling him the kindest she knows (page 34-35 witless fool translation)
For Zeki to happen, I still say its Yuuki's move. I think they have a real chance.
(Also, Zero won't shoot Yuuki because of Yuuki's blood bond with Zero: I reference the Takuma/Sara relationship. And before I forget, Zero's reason for living is Yuuki. He wouldn't shoot her without having planned to be a suicide.)
Edit: Juliet, you pointed out, in a different thread, a chapter 51 page showing Yuuki struggling within herself between drinking all of Kaname's blood and not doing that. You gave that page as an example of a different kind of love from thirst-quenching love. I never responded. I actually see that page as an example of Yuuki having a Rido-like obesession with Kaname: lust, not love. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
Zero being food was a metaphor to show how his neck is the big serving and his wrist was the small one. he offered his wrist as the small serving, in a way it was an open welcoming gesture telling her "I am your Food. Eat me". It didn't matter where she bit him, what mattered was his offering to her starving self. like I said she has to go for the bigger one. She is starving after all. But manners made her stop and she says her grace, "Zero, can I take your blood?"caela wrote:
It might be just me, but I would prefer it if my food didn't have a face.
second
bold area: If she was so hungry, the opposite argument could be made:
why go for the neck if you can already see blood flowing from his wrist
and you are starved for blood?

obviously because the neck has the most abundant blood rich artery and the most common site for biting. and the wrist has small one.
I don't see a hungry vampire going for the wrist, even if its bleeding. lol in vampire references the wrist is most commonly used for bloodletting, feeding inexperienced vampires for the first time (yuki isnt one), site for taking blood in turning humans to vampires, among others, but its rarely used for feeding experienced hungry vampires. nor does a bleeding wrist become a choice when the neck is very much accessible. its like telling a thirsty person to drink via straw when he wants to take gulps of water.
and another thing is, the neck is not necessarily an intimate spot. Kaname also let Zero specifically get blood on his neck, if he considered that intimate then that says something. And there's Shizuka biting Zero on the neck. and lots of other vampires who bite via neck, including LEVEL Es.

The main point of the thread is who is better for Yuuki. I feel that question has a loaded assumption: you should be in love with someone who is good for you.
Zero's pureblood hatred (ironic because he is practically a pureblood himself: I hope he doesn't bite a human anytime soon).
Zero did not abandon Yuuki in chapter 46, first, he indirectly asked her if she needed him, Zero. If she had said no, I still have worries and fears, then he would have stayed by her side, even though she is a pureblood. He would have made an exception for his pureblood hatred, and he would have made that exception for her.

Yes thats a big question. Zero hates purebloods(mostly the vampire nature) yet he cares for yuuki, BUT yuuki is by nature a pureblood.
I think Zero's feelings with Yuuki have been mixed since he found out she was a pureblood. Maybe he doesnt even know now what he truely feels. Could explain the continual swing between, one minute showing some kindness, to the next pointing a gun at her. To me it seems like he himself is confused over what he really feels.caela wrote:About blood tasting showing love:

What Zero tasted in Yuuki's blood in chapter 46(where he kisses Yuuki and the last time he tasted her blood):
Yuuki looked very contented when she had kaname's blood in the past. Also Yuuki does have a part(part being the operative word here) of her heart attached to Zero. So after feeding so much from Kaname(she feed off him constantly for a year taking quiet alot of blood at each feeding), then getting a mouthful of Zero's blood(small amount really), she has now satisfied her thirst and all parts of her heart.
Also sweet and nina give excellent cases on this subject.sweetsolace wrote:

Well both Kaname and Zero are hot. I think if you met them on a street you'd give them more than a quick glance. I know i would!!!
Hmm....wouldn't the smart choice be to be with the person you love, who you have declared your feelings for constantly for most of the manga, who's blood you desire above all else and wish to devour, and also who you can spend all eternity with?sweetsolace wrote:

Excellent point sweet!
I think biting via neck is a natural thing for a vampire. It's the place they naturally go to if they wish to feed. It probably does have special meaning when its mates drinking from that area but we've seen countless times in VK people biting into the neck without feelings of love and devotion.nina wrote:

Wonderful Nina! Yuuki see's these incidents as different hence her different reactions to the events. She seems very relieved with Kaname's words unlike Zero's.

Apparently Yuuki's blood is good for something. Also look at how Kaname was about to fight Zero: Kaname wanted close combat, while he killed the entire Vampire Counsel with long range attacks.

Kaname wanted to fight Zero as an equal.
I don't think its much of a joke that Zero probably shouldn't bite a human.

Really? Chapter 75 >>>
Yuuki: But the important people in the Hunter Association all want the purebloods to all disappear
Zero: Yes, eventually
Yuuki: Does Zero also wish for “all”?
Zero: All
[Panel, Yuuki’s thought] All...
She specifically asks for his wish! Not what the other hunters are planning/wishing … Yes this is really an improvement!
He has pointed his gun FOR A THIRD TIME and what for? Cuz she said that he isn’t like the others and has a good heart!!!!!!! AKA FOR NOTHING!
While in the same chapter Hino has put Kaname saying that he was willing to sacrifice his life for HER and he was just a child!
OH! Yes Zero deserves to have her love
- If you think that he could give blood to someone he hates..help someone he hates to achieve her goals..protect someone he hates....Then I won't be able to convince you. If actions aren't enough
Which one of his actions? When he pointed his gun through a door? When he pointed his gun from afar? Or now that he has put his gun on her temple???
Yes he is improving … the distance between his gun and Yuuki is “zero” NOW!
- latest chapter: still hasn't been able to pull the trigger (sorry I just had to add this one :p)
WOW! And you think that this is the proof of his LOVE?! He didn’t kill her thus he loves her?!mariangie wrote: Kaname gave his blood to Zero . Helped Zero to temporary stabilize his fall to Level E . Protected Zero to be accused as the one who killed Shizuka . ( Well , here you can argue Kaname was just covering for himself . But if Kaname wanted , he could use this as an excuse to get rid of Zero forever . ) If I use the same argument I can say Kaname loves Zero . But in reality , you can't say Kaname loves Zero because of his actions .
Exactly Maria! You took the words out of my mouth!juliet wrote: he has literally dazzled us with that gun. Few more chapters and he is going to use it to threat the passing flies
… apparently there are no more flies around the academy so he has to point his gun to harmless girls >> Maria, Yuuki while he is too scared of Sara haha …
I’ll bet if you take the BR you’ll emasculate him ROFLMAO …caela wrote: In the forum, Zero is generally known as not a pervert and is seen as a gentleman (except he's not gentle, oh well) Meaning he follows social laws: He will not be advancing a relationship with Yuuki while he still thinks she has a fiancee. He is not a homewrecker
Yes he’s such a gentleman that he can’t stop pointing his gun to a girl and moreover for NOTHING! If that’s your definition of a gentleman I have nothing more to add.
Secondly did or did he not make a pass on Yuuki when he knew that she was Kaname’s fiancée/lover and ready to leave with that man?
So your argument it’s proved wrong from the manga itself …
(And yes, if Zero offers you blood from his wrist and you insist on looking at his face and going for his neck, you [sorry, i mean Yuuki] have some attraction towards Zero. Yuuki is kind of cheating on Kaname there or she thinks Yume is no more. If its the first option, bad on you yuuki. If she just wanted to check on the level E thing, blood from the wrist has the same taste as blood from the neck)
According to your logic then Zero is also IN LOVE with Kaname cuz he bit him on his neck! Yes or no?
Why he didn’t go for his hand, his foot or whateva haha …sweetsolace wrote: obviously because the neck has the most abundant blood rich artery and the most common site for biting. and the wrist has small one.
I don't see a hungry vampire going for the wrist, even if its bleeding.
its like telling a thirsty person to drink via straw when he wants to take gulps of water.
Exactly sweet!
I think though that you have dismissed a lot and kept only the outcome which you think it suits you … Have you read these lines??? >>>
1. “I’m weak and I can’t take away the thing I WANT with my own fangs … the thing I WANT >>> I can’t BECAUSE the person I can take it away from isn’t by my side right now …” (chapter 73)
>>> and she visualizes herself into Kaname’s arms! So there is no doubt whose blood she WANTED to take …
2. “At that moment I bit into Zero’s neck … all of a sudden my head cooled down. I had just used my fangs to bite a person whom I had NEVER intended to WISH FOR HIS BLOOD.” (chapter 74)
So she was hungry (a lot hungry as the scene with Yori indicates) and she WANTED Kaname’s blood (1) BUT since she couldn’t have the blood that she desired she got Zero’s offer >>> i.e. from a person that she NEVER INTENDED TO WISH! (2)
To me Zero is clearly a substitute there, like Ruka was for Kaname when he couldn’t have Yuuki’s blood. If you’re satisfied with that …
even raising a gun on someone you love is a bad sign, but its not like Kaname never said: if you leave me i'll kill you or you'll kill me..
What you’re trying to compare here is totally not comparable and the very proof is that in Kaname’s case Yuuki didn’t feel threaten … in fact she was relieved and as she said recently (chapter 73) >>> “With those words Kaname allowed me to stay by his side” …
She felt like Kaname’s words unburden her cuz she had said such SELFISHLY and TERRIBLE things (her words about “the one part of her heart” not mine)
Whereas in Zero’s case she believed that he wants to be enemies and she was very aggrieved from his act (pointing his gun) and from his words …
At least from Yuuki’s perspective the two incidents are totally different lol.
P.S. I do think a gun is more dangerous than a verbal threat, but both are things a real boyfriend/spouse should NOT do.
Well even in real life a boyfriend could say that I can’t live with out you thus and I prefer death and it depends from the tone and the time how you can perceive these words … I mean it could be an exaggeration to portrait his passion.
On the other hand if your boyfriend or a friend points his gun to you and in serious tone says we are enemies and I’ll kill you next time I don’t think that there is a way to perceive it as a sign of LOVE!
The only time I've seen Yuuki's thirst quenched was only in chapter 74, after drinking Zero's blood.
Then you have missed all the chapters from when Yuuki bitten Kaname WITH HER FANGS in chapter 52 …
http://www.mangareader.net/104-19604-17/vampire-knight/chapter-52.html
… till she felt thirst for the first time in chapter 71!
http://www.mangareader.net/vampire-knight/71/17
Viz after months that she took blood from Kaname …
In between did you ever see any thirst fit from Yuuki? And I mean after chapter 52 … No! Then your argument above isn’t only baseless but also twisting the FACTS…
This chapter 74 bite is not just about a hunger for only blood and not the man, especially since Yuuki is showing physical interest in Zero just before biting Zero.
Haha … then she probably Yuuki saw Yori as a man too cuz not only she looked at her but also she pinned her on the ground and moreover she was on top of her …
Juliet, you pointed out, in a different thread, a chapter 51 page showing Yuuki struggling within herself between drinking all of Kaname's blood and not doing that. You gave that page as an example of a different kind of love from thirst-quenching love. I never responded. I actually see that page as an example of Yuuki having a Rido-like obesession with Kaname: lust, not love. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
Then Zero has a Rido-like obsession with Yuuki cuz he expressed the same wish!
So according to this logic Zero should be quenched only with just a bit of her blood but he wasn’t … on the contrary he said >>>
“I only desired your blood Yuuki … I want it so much that is unbearable to the point that unless I drank from you UNTIL THE VERY LIMITS OF YOUR LIFE I WOULDN’T BE SATISFIED”
So who is expressing LOVE/PASSION … Yuuki who will be fine with just a bit of blood from a person she NEVER INTENDED to wish from OR Zero who wants to devour her life in order to be satisfied huh???
Make your choice …
The main point of the thread is who is better for Yuuki. I feel that question has a loaded assumption: you should be in love with someone who is good for you.
The point is Yuuki should be with the ONE she is IN LOVE with >>> that’s the good!
Who is best for Yuuki according to whom? For me? For you? For Zero? For Kaname? No … apparently for her! She could be in love with the greatest scum but can’t leave without him … For me it could be wrong but for her no.
So the answer in the question “who is best for Yuuki” is only one … the best is the one she IS IN LOVE WITH …
Zero's pureblood hatred (ironic because he is practically a pureblood himself: I hope he doesn't bite a human anytime soon).
Who is a PB? Zero? From when? Where is that chapter???? O_o
Zero did not abandon Yuuki in chapter 46, first, he indirectly asked her if she needed him, Zero. If she had said no, I still have worries and fears, then he would have stayed by her side, even though she is a pureblood. He would have made an exception for his pureblood hatred, and he would have made that exception for her.
He can’t make an exception neither currently >>>
Yuuki: But the important people in the Hunter Association all want the purebloods to all disappear
Zero: Yes, eventually
Yuuki: Does Zero also wish for “all”?
Zero: All
[Panel, Yuuki’s thought] All...
Zero keeps proving you wrong …

Nina, thanks for giving me an honest laugh:) I would laugh more if I wasn't wrong with my argument. Either way, hilarious!
In Zero's defense, he didn't know when he would see her again. If he didn't try then, then I would have lost respect for him.

Lol .. believe me caela the pleasure and the laugh was all mine … especially with your theory that Zero is a PB or that Kaname is planning to make him one!
Btw … about that … mariangie totally covered me already so I have nothing more to add in a serious mode at least …
But if you prefer the “hard rock” I can give you a taste if you like …
How many gallons of Yuuki’s blood should Zero drink to be a FULL PB?
@ Blood, Divine Rose and ces thank you <333
@ Anneliezz is okay … I have nothing more to add either. But I do agree that Zero doesn’t hate Yuuki as a person but her nature. However I disagree that the proof of his love is that he hasn’t shot her already … Probably that will never happen, but is this his proof of love? … Don’t think so …

Yeah, and Yuuki also needs Kaname and Kaname protects her and from what I see in the manga a lot more on both. Just because Zero needs her does not mean he's better for her. If that were to be the only reason Yuuki were to end up with Zero is because he needs her, then I definitely will lose all respect for Yuuki's character.
And also Kaname is somewhat evil? Well, he said he was, but I believe he is working for the greater good. But anyways, so is Zero somewhat evil. He points a gun at defenseless girls. He couldn't even detect Maria because she had NO evil intentions and he still pointed a gun at her. Whether or not he shoots, that is still threatening and dangerous. And he wants to kill all PBs just because they exist. Not an entirely a good person. I admit he's good, but not entirely, like a lot of Hino's characters.
Also, to me, the one who is best for Yuuki is the one who doesn't hate her nature. Yes, she can reach out a hand and be a friend to him, but to be involved romantically with someone who hates her nature? That's just stupid to me. So Zero is definitely not the best for Yuuki. Especially not now.

great post divine rose. you are right you know what whether zero loves yuuki or not i dont care. he has just confused his feelings of being protective with love. he knows very well yuuki loved kaname and kaname loves yuuki he had no right to come in between them and thats what i hate.
all we know is that he cares for yuuki, and this is no reason yuuki should end up with him. what is pairing on basis whose life is more pitiable. sorry then many lives are pitiable zero, kaname, shiki[rido for a father], takuma tortured by sara.
the fact is yuuki loves kaname and kaname loves yuuki only. they care for each other and are meant to be together. all that talks of him telling her to wear dresses and keeping long hair whats wrong with that. should he free her like freak do whatever she wants.
yes divine i agree i would hate yuuki's character if she did what you mentioned. yuuki and kaname are best for each other. he loves her so much and cares for her.their parents, kaname all wanted yuuki to be free as well. so please dont say he wants to bind her or something.
kaname evil?
well i doubt a person evil would live alone for 10 years without his beloved yuuki by his side, would want to kill himself to save the humans[ kaname's past], take blood from injections in small amount. yeah for that definition of evil had to be changed.
as for him killing headsof pureblood families he saya i cant leave you all as you are now, we know something wrong is going on. he has an extremely good reason for that. he would never hurt anyone.
zero if he really was shocked he should have said please yuuki leave me alone not point his gun at her.
