LOL @ Yuuki changing back into her school uniform, I didn't even stop that think about that! Anyway, I would of loved to know more about the Hooded Woman (a name would of been excellent) and the Kurans' history in general so it would be nice if we got more info on them but unless it is in something that further expands on the series like a fanbook or in the novels I guess Hino won't be giving that information. Regarding how where Yuuki's parents born, I always figured that either Kaname had a child with someone at some stage or there must of been other Kurans besides Kaname and they were the ones which the future generations came from.
I feel like all the characters you mentioned were basically neglected by Hino to focus on the LT which is one of the things I've found disappointing about this manga for some time - there were are interesting characters outside of the LT and the potential to make this more than just a tragic love triangle has been wasted. I'll be keeping an eye out for Hino's next manga to see what else she can create but I think she still has a lot to learn as a writer, for basically the last 40 chapters I have only been reading for her beautiful art work and Zero. I actually feel like her writing could be a lot better if she had an editor that guided her more because she does have decent ideas but the plot so often turns out to be a mess and she neglects, doesn't expand on or forgets potential interesting plot seeds.
A number of people seem to be really upset about Zero's actions in the last chapter. I've always thought Zero's hate and anger towards vampires was very natural considering what happened to him and his family but that he was going to eventually let go of it. The thing is sometimes the person who is getting most hurt by hate is the person doing the hating because it's such a terrible emotion that holds you back from being happy. It's impossible to be truly happy when you're consumed by so much hate. People do sometimes forgive people who do awful things to them do it without receiving an apology - forgiveness on your own terms and deciding to let go and move on with your life is a very difficult thing to do and I don't think it makes Zero a weak character at all, it takes a very strong, emotionally mature person to forgive someone when they do nothing to earn that forgiveness.
See, I also thought him being able to stop being so angry was a personal accomplishment for him.
The purpose of forgiveness is not something you are giving to the other person - No, most people have a very poor understanding of forgiveness.
You forgive not for the other person at all really, at a deep level what being able to forgive gives you the ability to release that anger and move on with your life - it makes you be able to release the bond that is created with another person through hatred, which is the worst type of bond cause it keeps an attachment on your person with the person who has committed a grave crime or offense against you.
I think that only those of us who have had a horrible crime committed against them or have witnessed someone being freed from a bond of hatred by forgiving the other person can really understand it.
What Zero is doing here is NOT for Kaname - NO not at all - This is Zero being able to move on and not be angry ALL the time. Its Zero growing up. It has nothing to do with Kaname, it is Zero saying - I'm not going to be stuck in the past anymore since the past is the past - I'm moving on.
