History Trivia / VampireKnight

* IKnewIt:
** [[spoiler:Yuuki is a pureblood vampire.]] This was somewhat easy to see coming, but the exact manner was still something of a surprise.
** Many fans predicted that [[spoiler:Kaname would be alive at the end despite all the foreshadowing of his death.]]

* TalkingToHimself: Zero and Ichiru are both voiced by Creator/MamoruMiyano (original) and Creator/VicMignogna (U.S. English dub).
* TheCameo: Music/KanonWakeshima, the series' ED performer, lends her voice to the maid in the 8th episode of the first season.

* TheWikiRule: [[http://vampireknight.wikia.com/wiki/Vampire_Knight_Wiki The Vampire Knight Wiki]].

* RelationshipVoiceActor: This is not the [[Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub first time]] (or the [[Anime/{{Free}} last time]]) that Creator/MamoruMiyano and Creator/VicMignogna would voice the same character (in this case, Zero) in an anime series.
** Double for both Creator/TravisWillingham and Creator/VicMignogna, who are both [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist alchemists]] and [[Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub hosts]].

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The story was supposed to have lasted for a little more than a hundred chapters, but was cut due to the ExecutiveMeddling mentioned above. Considering its ''massive'' SeasonalRot at the time, [[TropesAreNotBad not many fans found it a bad thing]].

* CastingGag:
** Creator/WendeeLee being casted as an evil, manipulative vampire noblewoman? She was already one in ''LightNovel/VampireHunterD: Bloodlust''.
** Double for Creator/FumikoOrikasa, her as a vampire? [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} She already is one, for Pete's sake!]]

* AllStarCast: The English dub featured a radically cast of all-stars compared to the Japanese version, featuring a cast of actors that fans of either Manga/AttackOnTitan, VisualNovel/FateStayNight, Manga/ FullmetalAlchemist or Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers might find familiar.

* RealLifeRelative: Creator/TravisWillingham, Toga Yagari's voice actor, is married in real-life to Maria Kurenai's voice actress, Creator/LauraBailey.

* RelationshipVoiceActor: This is not the [[Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub first time]] (or the [[Anime/{{Free}} last time]]) that Creator/MamoruMiyano and Creator/VicMignogna would voice the same character (in this case, Zero) in an anime series.

** Double for Creator/FumikoOrikasa, her as a vampire? [[Manga/Hellsing She already is one, for Pete's sake!]]

* CreatorKiller: [[spoiler:Thanks to the mostly disliked or simply indifference-inducing ending, many fans have stated they'll have a hard time reading another story from Matsuri again, if they'll read it at all, fearing she'll just create another one with messed up morals and/or another trolling LoveTriangle. The fact that the magazine in which ''Vampire Knight'' itself was published in made Matsuri cut the story because it wasn't popular enough anymore doesn't exactly help.]]
* ExecutiveMeddling: Sales dropping ever since the start of the second arc eventually caused the magazine [=LaLa=] to force Hino Matsuri into cutting her ending, apparently even ''three times.'' As a result, Matsuri even publically apologized to her readers in her blog for the ending being as rushed as it was, being sorry she wasn't able to tell the full story she wanted.
* HeyItsThatVoice:
** Zero (and Ichiru) are voiced by Creator/MamoruMiyano, known for other famous roles such as [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]], [[OuranHighSchoolHostClub Tamaki Suoh]] and [[Manga/SoulEater Death the Kid]]. To mention a few.
*** And in the dub, they're VicMignogna.
** This isn't the first time WendeeLee [[LightNovel/VampireHunterD has played an evil, manipulative vampire noblewoman]].
** Hard to believe Kaname is also [[Manga/RosarioToVampire Tsukune Aono]].
*** Or the titular character in the Japanese dub of ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}''.
** Ichijou's grandfather is [[Anime/GingaDensetsuWeed Hougen]] and [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Mojo Jojo.]]
* IKnewIt: [[spoiler:Yuuki is a pureblood vampire.]] This was somewhat easy to see coming, but the exact manner was still something of a surprise.

* TalkingToHimself: Mamoru Miyano (original) and Vic Mignogna (dub) voices both Zero and Ichiru.
