Vampire Knight: End of Season 1

Episode 12: "Junketsu no Chikai" "Vow of the Pureblood"








 Zero finds Shizuka, the pureblood who killed his family and made him a vampire, making a deal with Yuki: if she drinks her blood, she must save Zero in return. Zero then points his gun, Bloody Rose, at Shizuka, injuring her. After hearing the shot,  Ichiru runs in. Here, we learn that Shizuka never turned him into a vampire and that Zero cannot harm him. At the same time, Shizuka arrives at Kaname's room, where he stabs her in the heart with his hand and drinks her blood, vowing to "destroy their mutual enemy." The episode ends with Ichiru holding a dying Shizuka in his arms.



Episode 13: "Shinku no Ringu" "Crimson Chains"












The season finale! Not so fun after reading this part of the manga and knowing what's going to happen -_-
guess that's the price I pay...

Anyway, Ichiru lays crying at Shizuka's side, where she reveals her story: She was once engaged to a pureblood vampire, but fell in love with one of the humans sent to her as "food." After turning him into a vampire the hunter's association ordered Zero's parents to execute him, hence the grudge and motive. 
This also explains the reason why she didn't turn Ichiru into a vampire, and we learn the true emotions and feelings between the two. In a sad goodbye, we watch as Shizuka's body turns to dust. The next day,Yuki asks Kaien about Zero (who collapsed due to bloodlust), and confesses that she's been letting Zero drink her blood. The scene then changes and we see Zero locked in a basment, chained to the wall. Kaname then enters. He admits to killing Shizuka, saying that he left enough blood for Zero to drink. He then forces Zero to drink his blood, claiming that he's keeping him alive for Yuki's sake. 


What a surprising ending!! Not really!!! Anyway, I think I'll be taking a break from this series (don't worry, I'm not giving it up completely!). I am curious to see what happens to Zero, and what Kaname's true self is. Maybe I'll start season 2 after Full Moon wo Sagashite...and finals :/. Anyway, feel free to comment, give recommendations on any new series, etc. :)
