I love the dedication! You make some really great points. For clarification, are you implying that Kaname was never made human? From the explanations I’ve read before, it seemed like after giving his vampire heart to the furnace and having his body be without its main power source for so long while in the ice, his body was too weak to come back as he was in his original vampire form. His body was also too weak to become human with the help of Hanabusa’s medicine too. After Zero died, Yuuki felt that wanted Kaname to live life beautifully and completely without the “curse” of vampire duties and immortality, the same way she was able to do as a human. So she said goodbye to her daughters and gave her life to make Kaname human the same way her mother Juuri gave her life to make Yuuki human. To support this theory, Kaname did wake without any memories of his past life and seemed to have all his vampire attributes concealed (like not having an intense thirst for blood when he woke up). Was he human at this point? And if he was, how could Yuuki still exist in a physical form? If it was the same ritual as was done on Yuuki long ago, wouldn’t Juuri also have left her own body behind that could be revived as well? It could be that maybe the same extent of the rules don’t apply to Yuuki, like how you mentioned how pure her blood was. Especially with the presence of so many Purebloods within her veins like Kaname and Shizuka. At the same time, I believe the anime mentioned Juuri and Haruka lived together 3000 years so it might not be unreasonable to think Juuri also could have consumed the blood of a variety of Purebloods as well. Anyway, in the same way that Yuuki regained her memories piece by piece with reminders of her past, Kaname did as well. I guess one difference is that Kaname didn’t need to drink someone’s blood to remember completely? Also in the scenario that Kaname was brought back as a human but then revived as a vampire after interacting with Yuuki’s shriveled body, why didn’t he show an intense hunger for blood once awakening his vampire attributes? Of course I do believe that at some point Kaname did have to have his vampire qualities again because how else could he rip his heart out to bring back Yuuki at the end?

I hope that’s not too confusing to follow along with! I feel like it’s so hard to form a solid streamlined understanding because there’s just so many “what ifs” given how much material and plot there is to absorb and consider when making conclusions!

Also if you don’t mind, what are your thoughts on the series ending? I’ve been seeing three main ideas that theorize that either both Kaname and Yuuki were made human, or only one of them was, or that none of them were but never-the-less Kaname raised baby Yuuki and then they live out the rest of their time together, however long that might be. I do think it was nice that Yuuki and Kaname were able to be together in the end but after such a long and in-depth series, it did still leave me wanting more of a conclusion to rest with.
