Interesting! As always, reading the translation makes much more sense than trying to guess off the pictures or partial translations.
I'm still very curious and puzzled about a few things though. Principally how the whole thing with Kaname being somehow the ancestors of the Kurans, awakened by Rido exactly works. Is he in the body of Jurri and Haruka's other child which apparently Rido stole? Or was he created / awakened / reborn by the sacrifice of that child's life (Rido was calling Yuki his "sacrifice" after all, soo...)? How did Haruka and Juuri end up raising him, since it's obvious they did? It's also obvious he cared about them and they him... Haruka at least obviously considered Kaname his son. *snifs at that sweet, angsty scene*
You know, this also begs the question... the little Kaname that Aido and the others remember - was he the same Kaname that we know now, or was he the Kuran's actual son at that point and that's why Aido thought he changed so much later? I personally don't really like that notion, but it's a possibility I can't ignore either. Hm. Although... it would seem really odd that Kaname would have memories of that, and of Shizuka from when he was little if he wasn't the same person.
But on top of all that, is the question of why Rido wanted to awaken Kaname in the first place? And what did he want with Yuki, since he was still very much alive at that point and he'd already done what he did with Kaname? Did he, perhaps, awaken him intending merely to kill him and get his blood and the power that it posessed? And then things just didn't go as planned? I don't know, so many questions... x.x
Another question thar really intrigues me is about Zero. From the conversation had by the Asato Ichijo and the Hunter President it looks like they're defnitely in cahoots, although why the head of the hunters would want the council to be all powerful is beyond me at this point. :S What's really interesting though is when they're talking about Zero - I'm not sure who they're talking about when wondering why 'he' raised Zero... I assume they're talking about Chairman Cross, since they said 'hunters' - plural - before that, and as far as I know, Cross and Zero were the only hunters at the Academy. But since the one said that 'although he's lived more than me, he's still a kid' that almost makes me wonder if instead they're talking about Kaname, and why he's tolerated / protected Zero. I really don't know, but I really do have to believe that Zero's going to have a rather important role to play yet, especially since it's been so clearly mentioned in this chapter that a hunter weapon needs to be involved to keep the pureblood from being able to regenerate again.
The end, when Zero's locked up and seeming so confused... I wonder if it's just emotional confusion, or if his words about how he can feel two of them... it looks like he means Kaname and Yuki, given the pictures. I wonder if it's because he's drunk both of their blood and now that Yuki's become a pureblood again... it's almost like he's bound to both of them somehow. LOL of course that's just me, because of my own take on bonding and all that, but I can't help but wonder anyway. ;)

Hi again. I've gone through Ch38 and am now even more confused than ever... Sorry to say that my mind was actually going 'Where's Zero? Is he OK? Does he still hate Yuuki?' *chuckles* So sorry, can't add anything of value here, but I'm glad you did, anyway...!

LOL yes, well, I will admit that
A) confusing should definitely have been the name of the chapter and
B) I was worried about Zero throughout as well. Poor thing, not getting much page time and then ending up behind bars... although... of course at least that part makes for a deliciously angsty picture... ;)

I think Rido merely wants power and authority... so awakening and binding "the most powerful monster" was definitely part of his plan... I'm just not sure how does he want to use this.. It has to be more than a mere life-insurance... But if I think about it, Kaname willingly gave his blood to Rido in the end... maybe that was Rido's plan... I am sure he is using the Elders as well...
Umm...and when Ichiou and the Hunter President talked.. didn't they mean Rido and Ichiru?
Poor Zero!!!! Yes, I also think he feels like that because of the blood he drank... but no one knows that he drank Kaname's blood as well, not just Yuuki's, right?
That may be an important fact... or not... I don't know... But Kaname definitely wants something with Zero..

Hmm, yes, you could be right about Rido's plan... one would tend to think that waking someone more powerful than yourself wouldn't be a good idea, but then again, Kaname's not able to kill him, and as you said, he did end up giving him his blood so... huh... it shall be interesting to see how it all plays out!
Oh, I hadn't thought that they might be talking about Rido and Ichiru... so confusing when they don't use names! LOL I'm not sure though, because Rido didn't raise Ichiru, although it could just be a confusion in terms on my part I suppose... huh, thanks for pointing that out!
Ooh! VK scans has released their version, and the translation in a few places helps make a little more sense out of a few spots I think. Especially the last page with Zero, I have to agree for certain now, he's definitely feeling both Kaname and Yuki resonating in his conciousness somehow because of the blood sharing. And... he sympathizes with them. Ooo... I like the sound of that, might I dream that dear Zero might be having to reconsider a few things about hating all vampires? Dunno, guess only time will tell!
I think you're right, I don't think anyone knows that Kaname gave Zero his blood. I agree, none of what's happened has been random, I look forward to seeing how it all plays together!
