Vampire Knight - Manga chapter 42 sneak peek.

EDIT: Okay, I saw the full chapter. *-*/
Am currently translating it and will post it here sometime today. :D Keep tuned~


------------------------------

Zero is so moe. X3

I haven't read the whole chapter yet, but I found photos of two pages from it.
Sadly, I don't know who took the pics, because I found them being reposted in other places, and the people who took them hadn't said where they first found it. -_-; So no linkie.
But so far, it's just those two photos, no one who got the magazine before the official release date has posted scans yet.

When I can go and get my magazine, I'll scan the pages and post a summary here as usually. :D
(Or I'll post the summary and a link if someone else scans them before. ^^/)


So if you don't want to be spoiled, just wait a bit longer to see the whole thing at once, I guess? XD
Otherwise, here are two pages, featuring Zero in one (we don't know who he's fighting), and Yuuki and some more people in another...






ZERO IS SO HOT~! *-*/
I hope Kaname appears too. (From spoilers I read in a chinese forum, he doesn't, or just for a moment, but I'm in denial. XD *hopes anyway*)

Is that me or has Zero's tattoo disappeared after his transformation? D: (That could be because he can't be held back anymore/doesn't counts as a tamed vampire anymore.)

Maybe it somehow became this weird new power with the vines? It's pretty awesome, and open-shirt fanservice is very welcome. *-*
XD *lol*

He's saying "Wake up, Vampire!"
Though we don't know to whom he's speaking. XD
*inevitable bout of moe at the idea that he might maybe be rescuing Kaname* XD XD Hahaha *fangirl in denial*

I'm wondering if the vines are maybe actually another form of the Bloody Rose? O_o It does looks remarkably like rose vines, and in one of the frames it's coming out of the gun? Maybe because Zero is now the ultimate hunter, maybe he can wield hunter weapons in any way he wants/morph them? (Just like Artemis had morphed on its own for Yuuki, but with Zero it might be in a more controlled and powerful manner... plus it would make total sense with the gun's name.)

Just a theory. XD We'll hopefully know more when I get my hands on the whole chapter. XD *lol*

Edit, to add something that only occured to me after I posted: YAOI FANGIRLS, REJOICE!! TENTACLE MONSTER ZERO x KANAME IS NOW CANONICALLY POSSIBLE! XD *rotfl*


Here's the other page:



Rido faces Yuuki and Aidou!! D: D: D: EEEEEEEK.

I didn't expect it so soon. I'm thinking there's going to be a huge battle of some sort (hopefully without casualties among beloved characters. T_T), and that Rido will go on undefeated onto the second arc. At this point, we really don't know that much about him and what he wants, and I suspect we'll be finding out more later on... he's too pivotal of a character for them to have him die like that without more in-depth stuff...
Unless they do like with Shizuka, where we also found out more about her motivations later.

In any case, I hope Yuuki survives, because Kaname will die if she dies. T_T He can't live without her. (I doubt she'd die so soon anyway... if she does dies, it ould maybe be at the end of the series. *crosses fingers and hopes no one dies*)

Aidou surviving would be great too. ^^;;; *will cry if he dies*


From what I read in chinese forums (again, this is totally unsure since it's just rumors floating around and I haven't seen the episode itself yet since no one posted scans and I don't have my Lala magazine yet), Aidou is in danger and is saved by Yuuki.
It makes sense, since she's a pureblood, and even though she's just recently awakened, she must have powers that are incomparable to his level as an aristocrat vampire. :D So it's cool~ (Though he'd probably enjoy more being saved by Kaname, hahaha~)

What worries me is, Rido seems totally amused and acting like Yuuki isn't a threat at all. XD;; EEK~ (I KNEW she should have gone with Kaname like Kaname wanted. ;-;)

He's licking the blood from a scratch on his face, presumably made by Yuuki with her scythe. (Possibly while saving Aidou if the rumors are right.)

I translated what Rido is saying:

"Yuuki..."
"You naughty girl..."
"Don't go around swinging such a dangerous thing..."
"Yeah... that weapon is very dangerous, you know? I know what I'm talking about reaaally well..."
"Because I used that type of weapon when I killed your father Haruka..."
Rido's last line is literally, "When I took Haruka's life, I used one such weapon for its powers" [as in, for the anti-vampire powers hunter weapons have.]
He had used a vampire hunter weapon, remember?
I saw some forums where people were translating that wrong, so yeah. That's what he actually said.

Also, he's totally talking to her like she's a little kid. XD;; Until the line about Haruka. XD;;;

Yuuki then looks sad/gasps. D:

(She might not have known exactly how her father died, I wonder. Even if she knew what happened, it would still hurt to have it thrown in her face like that. D:)


It's ironical, because back when Rido killed Haruka, Kaname was shocked by the dishonorable/cowardly manoeuver of bringing a hunter's weapon into a vampire duel, something inacceptable.
Yet, this time it's Yuuki who is doing that. >XD Let's hope Rido gets a good taste of his own medicine! *hopes he's bluffing about looking calm, and that he's actually worried about the scythe*

Technically, it's great for her that it's a scythe, because she's more used to wielding things with long handles, and a scythe will give her a much larger ma'ai (attack distance in fighting/martial arts *used to do martial arts*), enabling her to fight Rido without getting too close and risking direct contact, where she'd probably not stand a chance against him.

If he gets his hands on her scythe, she's screwed though. D:



When I actually see the whole chapter, I'll make a more detailed post with the summary and scans or links, so stay tuned. XD *lol*


Meanwhile, if you want to share this post with other people, feel free to link to it, from forums or whatever as you please. :D
My journal is more of a land of VK fangirling rather than a normal personal journal most of the time anyway, so it's all cool if it's just linking to the post. XD *lol*
