Rosario + Vampire II 32

In Moka's dream world, Moka rushes back to the castle as Akasha battles Akua.

What are you going to do about it, little girl?

Summary:
After remembering she had left the rosary, Moka steps out of her car and runs back towards the Shuzen Castle.

Inside the castle, Akua faces off against Akasha. Akua states that she always planned to kill Akasha and take the power of the shinso, but she couldn't go through with it because of her love for Moka. Akasha knows about Akua's true identity and as such she has sent Moka away and told the others to stay away from the hallway they are in. Outside the window, Dongfang Bubai comments that Akasha is incredibly powerful, but she is sometimes "too nice" during battles, and this gives Akua an advantage since she obviously plans to kill Akasha. Back in the hallway, Akasha and Akua circle each other and Akua makes the first move, showing off her Hougetsu Jigen-tou (Dimensional sword) technique by cutting through a few suits of armor standing in the hallway. Akua uses her speed and technique to open several cuts of Akasha, but Akasha quickly regenerates from her wounds and tells Akua that there is still time to turn back.

I'm going to kick you ass, that's what I'm going to do!

Suddenly, Moka bursts into the chaotic scene and screams at Akua to not hurt her mother. Akua appears to hesitate, but she is the one who takes advantage and slices Akasha into two at waist while Akasha is distracted by Moka. Akua tells Moka to stay back and reveals that she is descendant of Alucard and will carry on Alucard's will to destroy the humans, but Moka sends Akua flying with a powerful kick. Moka then builds up an incredible amount of power which leads Akua to question whether or not Akasha's shinso powers were passed onto Moka. Suddenly, the whole castle starts shaking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That was an excellent chapter. These are probably some of the most crucial chapters in Rosario + Vampire and they're delivering the goods. Akua being hesitantly evil; Akasha showing off a glimpse of her powers and then defeated through a distraction; and Moka watching the battle and going super saiyan vampire... this chapter had everything I was hoping to see. Akua being the descendant of Alucard explains her motivations and why is with Fairy Tale in the present day. The conflict in Akua's emotions was portrayed especially well in this chapter. Moka's family certainly has more than its fair share of interesting characters. Despite being cut in half, Akasha seems to have done something at the end and the chapter hinted that Alucard the beast might actually wake up. That would be pretty awesome if it happens. There should be plenty of excitement in the next chapter as well as Akasha still has to seal Moka's memory with the rosary and Akua has to make her exit.
