[[WMG: Sympathetic Sue]]
Are we supposed to be sympathetic to Akuha? The series seems to try that, but considering that she tried to kill Akasha despite Akasha taking her in as her own child even though she knew she wanted to kill her, and Akahu still tried to kill her. She really seems like SympatheticSue.
* I actually don't think WE, THE AUDIENCE are meant to sympathize with her. It seems that Tsukune's inner NiceGuy just chose that moment to open its big, fat mouth.
* No. GOD NO. Whether or not Akuha deserves any sympathy (which at the very least she seems redeemable as of Chapter 56) is very different from her being a SympatheticSue. A SympatheticSue exists solely for the audience’s sympathy and is meant to invoke that in their every action. Considering how often she has threatened to cross the MoralEventHorizon, and how active she is a villain that definition does not fit. While the question of whether or not she deserves redemption is a valid one (since we only recently saw the tragic past aspect of her fixation on Moka) that is not a SympatheticSue. A villain that is revealed to not be wholely evil is something different. People need to stop throwing around Sue accusations without knowing what they actually mean.

Seriously, what was the author thinking when they came up with this? Can someone please explain to me if vampires in this universe have a way to work around that really stupid weakness? Because otherwise, if given the choice, I think I’d rather be a vampire from the [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Twilight]] universe than a vampire from this universe. Yeah, that’s right, you heard me, folks. Say what you will about the Twilight vampires and make fun of their sparklyness all you want, but for all their flaws, at least they don’t have a weakness as stupid as freaking [[WeaksauceWeakness WATER]].

** [[{{Squick}} So you’re saying their pools don’t use chlorine to clean themselves]]? Then how does the school faculty clean them? The students are teenagers, and teenagers sweat, lose dead skin cells and small hairs a lot, especially when doing sports like swimming. You’re telling me that the school faculty doesn’t clean or desinfect their pools despite that? Also, yes, some of the classic vampire stories do say that they’re vulnerable to crossing streams of running water, but not to touching water itself. Giving a classic monster a new weakness or dialing one of their previous weaknesses UpToEleven not only makes them less scary, but also less badass. [[KryptoniteIsEverywhere Especially when it’s a weakness that can be found practically everywhere on the planet at any time]], like, you know, '''[[WeaksauceWeakness water]]'''. And speaking of which, you mentionned something about Moka adding oil and herbs to the water to be able to bathe in it, right? Well, by that logic, it still wouldn’t help or make sense, because a) it would still be be of a similar water/extra component ratio to pool water, and b), oil and plants are also partially composed of water too. You can’t neutralize poison by adding more poison to it, you know.

[[WMG: Tsukune's age in the seasons of the anime]]

The Rosary was given to her so she could travel in the human world Even if that barely makes sense she Inner Moka/True Moka clearly seems to have less impulse controls than Outer Moka does. Based on the intro Outer Moka in the human world was just one scrapped knee on a human away from revealing her true nature. However when that doesn't work and she is brought back to Yokai academy it makes no sense to leave the rosary on her. Ignoring that she doesn't need to be nice to monsters the bigger issue is she is at a school filled literally to the brim with monsters. Leaving her in her weaker form in that situation is at best a mean to both Moka who is constantly suppressed and Kokua who loves her "real" big sister. At worst it's extremely dangerous since she's not remotely prepared for the fights that seem to break out fairly frequently on campus.

** If your "vampires are only harmed by liquid water, beyond a certain volume, with the concentration of other compounds below a certain threshold" theory is true, then that would mean that blood gets a pass, since it would theoretically be “diluted” enought by other elements to not be completely toxic to vampires. However, what about OTHER bodily fluids like, for example, saliva? Human saliva is composed of about 98% water, which makes it just as “watery”, if not even moreso, than pool water. Wouldn’t Moka risk accidentally hurting herself every time she kisses Tsukune, (especially if it’s on the lips or a straight-up french kiss) due to the very high chance of coming in contact with his saliva? And for that matter, if we assume that vampire saliva has the same composition as human saliva, shouldn’t vampires get constantly hurt or weakened by their own saliva as well? As I just said, saliva is about 98% water, which, according to your logic, makes it just as dangerous to vampires as the water fron the pool, so what gives? And that’s not even getting into other bodily fluids like pee, cum, mucus, digestive fluids, amniotic fluids, etc. Yeah, I know it’s gross to think about, but it does make you wonder.
