The only reason I read this whole manga after it got screwed up after Yuki turned Vampire was because I wanted Zero to be happy......and what do we get? not even a smile from him leading a happy life after kaname was frozen. Just a tomb stone that Zero died and then Yuki going and dying herself to resurrect Kaname.

T.T I want more Zero Happy moments

I would've been happier if mangaka ended with: zero and yuki happily living with their kids and put the whole death of zero, resurrecting kuran in an extra chapter.

I dunno, I thought he looked genuinely happy (like major props to the artist for the emotion showing through) in the panel where him and Yuki are looking at each other. But yeah, otherwise I think the ending very much fits the rest of the manga, but I'm kinda with everyone else about being somewhat annoyed that Zero is the consolation prize.

yea he was smiling but not enough to satisfy me I think he deserve bigger frames.

I agree, it seems that the short-hair one is Zero's, while long-black-hair one is Kaname's. And since in S2's scanlation the short-hair called another "nee-san", it means that the long-hair born earlier, and since Yuki, well, sleep with Kaname first... And it seems that the short-hair one is male (though seems so female), because the far-shots showed male body...

Hufff I've predicted the ending where Kaname left Yuuki with a child to be taken care with Zero... No, I've predicted (wished, precisely) Kaname and Yuuki died, left Zero with their child, and that child is a daughter, aaand well let's continue to Usagi Drop Sh*t I even imagined a girl that not clumsy like Yuuki but all cool like Kaname ( T_T), and for me someone like that's more suitable for Zero than dat Yuuki... Just left dat Yuuki to Kaname, and let Zero have someone that care only for him! This? As if Yuuki spent her time with Zero while waiting for the way to make Kaname a human became completed... and just because Kaname himself ask for her to be happy with Zero. WOOOT. And felt like sooo many things were stacked...

________________

Since the long haired girl said "my other father"instead of "our other father"she is definitely kaname(x)yuki's girl the younger one being zero(x)yuki's.

I could very well be wrong but according to other translations she actually does say "our other father". I still believe that she is indeed Kaname's daughter but other translations don't follow.

Since I haven't seen the raw I just said what was translated by S2. Guess only the mangaka knows whose child is who, since she (yuki) got screwed over by kaname first we can only assume the first child is his.

It was so abrupt...I'm happy I didn't buy decide to collect this manga but my friend on the other-hand.:/ It just feels so eh. Like no one seems happy. I hope she has ending extras like she did for MeriPuri though.

________________

I do not feel special about the end, no angry, no happy, which means I'm an empty shell or it was the most adequate according to the circumstances (but not the best for the fans)..... IF AND ONLY IF it'd have been well executed. Since I knew VK was going to end, automatically I thought many questions wouldn't have an answer: the relationships, vampires/hunters doubts, the war..... what was the point of everything if you only focus on a love triangle and left it terribly unresolved? At least I hope an afterstory just to feel somehow better.

I've always hated Yuuki (well, everybody) for a well-known reason: she's quite indecisive and wants more than one guy in her list. I have to say that she miraculously behaved in this chapter (I'm not saying she matured). And when I was almost convinced that she really loved both the same question popped out of my mind: then why you were so cruel to them?

As I recall, she couldn't be "satisfied" with Kaname's blood, and if it wasn't for his slumber Zero probably would have presided the Union of Frienzoned Manga Guys for ever. Such a bad give and take game, and Yuuki getting the biggest prize without deserving it. Oh! I almost forget that she was useless until the end -.-

Definitely everyone deserved more panels. The happy life of ShikixRima, KainxRuka, etc., and those interesting pairings YorixKaito and SeirenxYagari ***1/4 of the page, oh my!***. But Zero! Oh man! Just got to see his smile twice, please, Matsuri Hino, have some mercy on him! Kaname, I only pray you don't regain your memories *quite a bad technique here btw*.


@neonkitty. Amen to your opinion. And so I think it had more traces of Yume. I feel quite bad because living with someone romantically while thinking on other is quite nasty. If I'm not mistaken, there's even a topic here on MU about what is worst, to be unfaithful physically or mentally.

I keep supposing: if she couldn't turn him human immediatly due to the circumstances and so, then wait for the cure. But waiting for the cure might be strenuous and boom! She's having a baby! Well, raise your baby in the meantime. But I can't do it alone, then Zero is willing to help you! But I love him as a man. Well, start a NEW life. Zero dies.............. Hey Kaname, you know, Aidou's research can't wake you up, so I have no other choice than give my life for you......THE END.

Could it be my overdeveloped instinct or she actually was expecting to revive him for her ulterior motives? If you know what I mean....

I think I'll just keep my memories as they were in 2008. Zero fans aren't satisfied; the same with Kaname lovers. This ending was meant for all the Yuuki ones......But wait......She doesn't have! Though in this 7 billion people world you can find rare things.


And so I read the black haired girl said "my other father" not "our other father" originally. Not sure about the gender of the Zero's kid.

I wouldn't have minded 7 chapters more to get the 100. I hope a few extras to feel good, but I guess is difficult to find satisfaction like the one I got from Sakamichi no Apollon.

The ending was so rushed. The canon wasn't even established in the end, but it did give Yume and Zeki a chance to imagine that their pairings did happen. I think Zeki relied on Kaname's death to happen, and that shouldn't have happened. We didn't get to see Zero and Yuuki raise their kids. Hino, if you're going to do a manga at least give it a proper ending.

From what I've read I've conjured up these thoughts:

1) The Kids
The older sister with the long dark hair is definitely a pure blooded Kuran child. She's older than her sister, which could mean she could be the result of Kaname and Yuuki having sex before Kaname's demise. The son/daughter, but I'm pretty sure daughter, with Zero's traits is undoubtedly the result of Zeki getting it on. The way they interacted with each other in their limited panels, show them to be on good terms like actual siblings.

2) Kaname's Return
So many of you have already decided that Yuuki sacrificed her life for Kaname to turn into a human, but I'm not crossing that off. I at first thought she was giving him a cure, from the research that Aidou found from the Kuran mansion (?). However, I do prefer the idea of Yuuki dying for Kaname because, I would just hate it if Yuuki was still alive when she revives Kaname, it kinda destroys my Zeki ship.

3) Kaname's Human Life
If she decides to make a sequel, God help me. It's not that I wouldn't mind the idea of a whole manga based on Kaname and his human life, actually I like that idea a lot; but after seeing Hino screw up this manga, I wouldn't want that to happen again. Is Kaname supposed to take care of his sibling, plus Zeki's child. Does he fall in love with one of them? Please no.

4) Extras and Omakes
I want a proper explanation of what happened with the other couples - KainxRuka and ShikixRima. I also want to find out what happens to Maria Kurenai and the Chairman. I need to see Yuuki and Zero raising their children and Kaname living as a human.

The Parts I Liked:
- The threesome hug with Kaname, Zero and Yuuki
- Kaname acknowledging that Zeki was meant to happen
- Sayori talking about Yuuki to her grandchildren. It was sweet.
- Zero and Yuuki looking genuinely happy, even if they had a limited panel.

Overall: 2.5
It was alright seeing Zeki finally coming true, even though it didn't feel like that, but it was majorly lacking in some places. My favourite part would have to be Kaname turning into a human, even though I hate him from the bottom of my heart, it was a nice and sweet moment and something I didn't really expect.

oh well, all in all i agree with the lot of you - not a satisfying ending, kind of...lukewarm or smt

we need extras, we need extras, there MUST BE EXTRAS!!!!!!!!!!!!! please Hino!!!!!!!!!!!!! with extras at least it'll be well, ok ending? yeah, then i'll be ok with it ^^

cuz Zeki, however little they got showed looked genuinely happy and i also understand why Yuuki would be ok with dying-resurrecting-Kaname-leaving-her-kids-behind, i mean Zero died and would Yuuki have been able to revive Kaname? like as in pureblood? cuz if not then they couldn't actually be together with him human her pureblood, only more pain as he aged & died, moreover that would be kind of like a betrayal to Zero with his kid/kids there, therefore, i'm ok with Yuuki's decision and hey, kids gotta outlive their parents and if both or only one is Zero's kid, that would mean Yuuki outliving him and watching her kid die, and the option of Yuuki turning her pureblood daughter to human (if that's what she is) isn't gonna work either cuz hey, her sibling is clearly a vampire, not pureblood but still 100% vamp and who would want for him/her to watch his human sis die? nope, so i totally agree with Yuuki's decision, actually that's the best thing she has done

but i want to see Zeki's life and their kids, Ruka&Kain and all the rest of them and possibly some of Kaname getting along with Yuuki's kids (I'm saying Yuuki's kids cuz i'm not sure either whether they're both Zero's or possibly and most likely the dark haired one is Kaname's (but genders doesn't matter, i don't care whether they're both girls or again most likely fair haired is boy and nee-san is well obviously a girl))!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

then i'll say it was a good ending, not great, definitely not and i didn't really get Yume, not really, but at least i'm glad for Zeki, got 1000 years together, but as long as i see extras it'll be an ok ending^^

Enjoy life as much as you can and do whatever you want, because it may be only one.

I think we need to see the colours of the children to determine if its both Zero's children or the dark haired one is Kanames, But the dark haired one said to Kaname "to my other father" and all other translations said its also "other" or our, but again the dark haired can have the same eye colour as yuki and can resemble yuki AND kaname. omg so confusing XD I think we need Hino to confirm if its both Zero's children or the dark haired one is Kanames LOL.

But I think everyone was happy... I didnt think Hino made everyone SUPER happy with big grins on there faces because I think it would be ashamed to see that Kaname is the only one who didnt get a happy ending, but no doubt that Yuki was happy in the end, did you see her face on the page where she was with Zero and the next picture was her smiling, the smile didnt contain pity,guilt,sadness, it was just a sweet smile meaning that she had an amazing life being with Zero and she did not chose to choose Zero as "second choice" because if she did she would've TRIED to commit suicide or something but no. SHE CHOSE to live happily and start a new life with Zero and made a family and been there until Zero's last breath then later goes to Kaname to give her life to turn him into human and let him see the "world" she experienced as a human on earth. In my eyes I think Zeki and Yume had all 50/50 chance of happening but the fact that Hino trolled Zeki the very last minute and gave us an ending. I really thought that Yume was going to be canon after Zero's speech saying that Kaname should be with Yuki, but then BAM Kaname gave his blessings to Yuki and Zero. WOW.

I felt the chapter was a bit rushed. The war had really no meaning at all and we didnt get the chance to see the other pairings like ShikixRima or Sayori's love life on who she married (maybe its Kaito ? O or the glasses guy who was in love with Ruka) I would love some extra's on Zero and Yuki's life together as well to believe that Zeki really did happen. Cause I still can't believe it And maybe Kaname finding another love because thats what Yuki wanted to accomplish thats why she gave her life to Kaname to be human so she can be Zero in the afterlife dunno. cause she said "may your thirst be quenched" can also mean in vampires meaning "May you find true love"

ANYWAYS I thought everything was bittersweet, wasn't really tragic or anything, the ending wasn't the best but it was the BEST ending that could clear everything up, and Hino one last request, make extras please :3

Seriously, I just became your fan. Even though I often visit Baka-Updates to gather information about some mangas, I never registered. But after reading this shitty chapter of VK (I had dropped the manga long ago, but I decided to read the final one just to know what happens to my favorite character, Zero), I just couldn`t take it. Really, WHAT THE FUCK. Then, I had to, of course, go searching like crazy for others oppinion about this chapter. Yours was so awesome, so similar to what I was thinking that I just HAD to register and say this: YOU'RE AWESOME, I couldn`t have said it any better.

How come Matsuri Hino did that to Zero? What a heartless woman, seriously. I swear that, at some point, I really wished some new really great female character would appear and snatch Zero`s heart away from Yuuki. Some new character who would really deserve him and give him the happiness he really deserves, not some "Oh well, since the other has "died", the only thing left for me to do is be with you. It's better than be here all alone I guess". Fuck you, Yuuki. AAAAAAAAAW, REALLY HATE HER.

Since I've been a fan of Zero from th very beginning I can only talk about how Zero wasn't treated fairly at all. If anyone could do one for Kaname, that would be great. I can't do one for him because everything and anything that he did annoyed the crap out of me since the beginning. Of course I don't dislike him anymore but I'm not interested in re-reading VK for any reason.

Okay, so Zero basically had three goals in life.
1) to be with Yuuki
2) avenge his family
3) kill vampires

Did he really accomplish any of these goals? I'll explain why I feel like he really did get the short end of the stick throughout the whole manga.

1) I absolutely REFUSE to talk about goal number one. I suggest that you find my first post on this topic (located on the first page) because it makes me absolutely furious to talk about it any further. Bless Kaname's kind soul for allowing Zero to be happy until his death.
2) If anyone can recall, one of Zero's goals was to kill not only vampires but specifically Shizuka (the pureblood that killed Zero's parents). At the end Zero didn't even kill Shizuka yet was ACCUSED of killing her. Dear god, what is this? Thinking about it then I was just like "wow, your a d*ck Kaname" but after the constant stomping on of Zero until the end I just can't accept this. It's silly to get fired up over something that happened in the early chapters, I know, but I just can't bring myself to justify this with "your a d*ck Kaname" because I see Kaname in a different light now. Not only did he not get to avenge his parents but he was accused of killing a pure blood anyways. NOT ONLY did he take the heat for Shizuka's death but at the very end he ATE his brother (Ichiru). What is this!? So what Hino is telling me is that instead of avenging his parents he gets to eat his brother? Do I even have to explain how screwed up this is? Should I even?
3) So I guess his 3rd goal was kind of accomplished. He got to kill a lot of vampires throughout the series and in the last chapter TAMED who knows how many pure bloods and humans turned vampires. So bravo to Zero for this, seriously.

So 1.5 out of 3 goals accomplished. Good enough right? Lol not in my eyes Hino.

So to all my fellow Zero fans, not necessarily Zeki fans, if it makes you feel better then I'll say this to make up for the half-assed Zeki ending. IF things go as Yuuki has planned, Kaname will fall in love with another. This means that in the afterlife (if there is one in the world of VK and for vampires), Zero will have Yuuki to himself and Kaname will be with his new love. Since Zero will be with Yuuki jn the afterlife, he will be ETERNALLY happy. Personally I dislike having to draw my own conclusion because I feel like it is the mangakas job to provide their readers with a proper ending but we all know what Hino gave us.
The only hole in my conclusion is that Yuuki actually turns into a butterfly instead of going to the afterlife. Wow Yuuki, not even I death can you decide.

So it seems like many people have to the conclusion that Zero's and Yuuki's child is actually FEMALE. I'm cool with this even though that means that Kaname's daughter and Zero's "son" can't have children BUT what if Kaname ends up falling in love with Zero's daughter!? Lol omg, did VK just end like Twilight? I don't know if I like the idea or not but its really funny. I guess that means that Kaname's daughter ends up with someone else that isn't Zero's child.

The entire chapter was Kaname, Kaname, Kaname and more Kaname. What about people who want to know more about how the other character end up?

It sucked soooooooo much. Zero lived for 1000 years and I know NOTHING about his life except that he had kids with Yuuki.

What a stupid ending. Just rename the manga Vampire Kaname, so I would not have even wasted any time on it.
