While I agree that it’s awkward that Omote wasn’t “always” a part of Ura, I believe that by the time the story started and Tsukune arrived to Youkai academy, Omote was already a part of who Ura was, identity-wise. Ura always took after her mother to begin with: “Know Your Place” is a good example of this. She grew into an entirely different person, even though she had started with traits inherited by Akasha. True, but it is also stated that Omote, despite being a clone, was different than Akasha. Basically Omote was originally just a copy of Akasha. It's even stated that Akasha modeled Omote after herself. Omote merged with Ura near the end of the series, but before that she was a completely separate personality that was born from the rosary. The coldness we saw in Ura at the start of the series was probably, like you said, from her experiences from before Akasha sealed her with the rosary and then spending her time inside the rosary from then until the point where Tsukune first removed the rosary.

She came from the rosary Akasha gave Moka. I don't think Omote was always there inside Moka. I feel like these characters are still free to play out their infatuations and try to win Tsukune’s heart, but I don’t think they’re doing it out of necessity like they used to. She flat out said that even if she’d stick with Tsukune + the gang through thick and thin, no matter if she married him or not. Kurumu already cured her love-sickness and affirmed how much she loved her friends (Moka, Mizore), that it’s seems to me she doesn’t need Tsukune to bop her.

That epilogue chapter was an enormous tease.Īs for Kurumu and Mizora, I don’t believe their stories are tragic anymore. that said, it makes me definitely want to see more of Moka live her life vicariously while integrating into Youkai Academy. I find this “blossoming” to be incredibly sweet and heartwarming, and is a great step for Moka’s character. Being a person for a day showed us what a nice person Moka could truly be if given the chance, and in the end of the story she finally is able to express herself without fear. The deeper into Rosario Vampire, the more expressive, emotional, and *happy* Moka becomes. Ura was so negative + dark simply because of her circumstances: losing her mother and her memories, being alone and trapped for so long. I feel like Omote was always a part of Urs from the start, so I don’t find Moka in the end to be entirely new.
