History YMMV / RosarioToVampire

* HolyShitQuotient: Part towards the end has this all over the place with the sheer amount of BodyHorror and the FinalBattle with [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever Alucard]].

* HarsherInHindsight:
** That arc from the first serialization where the Newspaper Club and Student Police crossed swords at an even higher intensity than ever before, thus kicking off CerebusSyndrome for the manga? [[spoiler:Turns out it's Fairy Tale's fault.]]
** [[spoiler: All those AlmostKiss scenes from early in the manga and in the anime are likely this, now with chapter 66 in the second manga serialization with Outer Moka seemly being killed off, after she and Tsukune admit their feelings and have their first and maybe last real kiss, and dying afterwards in his arms.]]

* DesignatedVillain: Played with by Tadashi Wanibuchi; yes, JerkassHasAPoint in regards to Yukari's ScrewySquirrel behavior, but he deals with it in a DisproportionateRetribution sort of way, and so Inner Moka does have enough cause to terrorize him and his [[GratuitousItalian compares]] upon being unleashed.

* CompleteMonster: [[EvilMatriarch Gyokuro Shuzen]] is the leader of the genocidal anti-human organization [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Fairy Tale]]. In her position, Gyokuro tasks her men with sowing the seeds of the Human World's destruction, aiming at nothing less than humanity's annihilation by awakening the ancient vampire [[EldritchAbomination Alucard]]. Gyokuro also [[AbusiveParents brainwashed her gentle, kind daughter Kahlua]] into being an efficient assassin that cannot refuse her orders to kill, viewing Kahlua as a proud achievement. When she confronts the heroes, Gyokuro rips off her stepdaughter Moka's Rosary Seal, and proceeds to cheerfully laugh, enjoying the pain it causes Moka. It is then revealed that Gyokuro had implanted bits of Alucard into the other Shuzen vampires, which have devoured them from the inside out and turned them into ravenous ghouls. When Moka begs on hands and knees for Gyokuro to save her beloved Tsukune from this fate, Gyokuro agrees, and then mocks Moka's weakness before punching her in the face. She even directs Kahlua to murder her beloved little sister--and [[OffingTheOffspring Gyokuro's own daughter]]--Kokoa with no remorse. It's revealed Gyokuro's rage stems largely from [[EvilIsPetty petty jealousy]] at Moka's mother, her rival Akasha. When she fuses with Alucard, Gyokuro gloats that she will destroy everything Akasha ever loved and destroy the world she protected. Beautiful, sadistic and unforgiving, Gyokuro viewed all in her path as nothing more than stepping stones for her own power.

** It's possible that Hokuto and Kiria may have crossed it during the festival arc. Hokuto chains up all of the harem (with the exception of Moka who had been kidnapped) inside a barrier created by Mikogami's rosary so that they don't stop him. Tsukune tries to fight him but he keeps getting knocked down and beaten to a bloody pulp ''right in front of his friends''. Kiria's was when he had Moka. He told her that he would let her go free if she removed her rosary by herself (back then only Tsukune could do that). To motivate her, he gave her a live camera feed on Hokuto beating up on Tsukune. Basically it boils down to, "Do the impossible bitch, or your boyfriend is gonna be paste."

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: Tsukune...''on a giant cross''. You don't get more symbolic than that.

** Gin has been involved in a lot more action recently. Probably because Tsukune's recent upgrade to Bishie status didn't quite fill the Bishounen quota for the female readers.

** Go to any anime convention or forum and you will either find a girl cosplaying as Mizore or a guy that declares Mizore to be their waifu (or vice-versa. We're not here to judge.)

* CrackIsCheaper: [[https://www.amazon.com/Rosario-Shirayuki-pre-painted-Finished-Shueisha/dp/B001J2XV0E This Mizore figure]]. Originally selling for roughly $50 USD when it was released in 2009, a variety of factors (very limited supply, Mizore being a highly beloved EnsembleDarkhorse , there being no other choices for a figure depicting the character, the series' GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff -status, to name a few), this figure can now sell for $500 USD ''at least''.

* CounterpartComparison: Moka has been compared to a gender-flipped [[Manga/YuGiOh Yugi]]; a meek, sweet-hearted student with a more serious alter ego who does all the fighting, and transforming between the two depends on jewelry worn around their neck. It's worth noting that both manga were published in Shonen Jump.

** She cements this position in the second manga after [[spoiler:her near-rape by aforementioned fiance, attempted suicide because of it, Kurumu saving her and Mizore breaking down into hysterics in Kurumu's arms. The whole event showing that she has very, very deep emotions behind her {{kuudere}} exterior, and making anyone want to hug her and tell her "it's all ok" like Kurumu was able to.]]

** The ending, for many shippers. [[spoiler:With Akasha receiving Outer Moka's memories and Tsukune confessing his love to her as Akasha fades away, you've got many fans angry with the thought that Inner Moka, upon being permanently released from the rosario, is a second prize relationship to ''her own mother'', rubbing salt in the wound with Outer Moka's personality somewhat merging with her own. Other fans think that they're reading ''way'' too much into that confession scene, and that Outer Moka was just as much a different person from Akasha as Inner Moka was. Inner Moka isn't a second prize anything at that point, and because she can freely stretch her legs after her release as a more positive version of herself thanks to Outer Moka's merging, she has a real shot of pursuing any relationship she wants.]]

** If, after all he had done and what was revealed about him, you still had a small shred of hope for Miyabi Fujisaki, that went out the window the moment [[spoiler:he murdered Outer Moka in cold blood by destroying Moka's rosary]]. Readers who came in after the [=#MeToo=] movement got underway in 2017 may believe he crossed it way earlier in the second season with his AttemptedRape of Mizore.

** Fans of the manga usually berate the anime for having no continuous narrative, being LighterAndSofter, and having an abundance of panty shots, while fans of the anime dislike the manga because it makes terrible writing decisions (including but not limited to plotholes and mood whiplash, see also TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter and AssPull ) and being far too mean-spirited towards its characters.

** While viewing Moka's memories, Tsukune and the others are shocked and horrified that her father Issa ordered her and Akuha to fight to the death. Apparently, this is simply normal behavior for vampires.

** [[AnIcePerson Mizore]] is the [[EnsembleDarkhorse heavy favorite]] for most American fans.

** Mizore is the heavy favorite for most American fans.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: While far from obscure in Japan, it should be noted that in North America it consistently debuts in the top 5 on the ''New York Times'' Best Seller Manga list, sometimes even reaching #1.

* AssPull: Part of the GeckoEnding of the second season anime. Tsukune somehow manages to call upon vampire powers he's only used once before, when he was injected with Moka's blood ''last season'', with pretty much no foreshadowing. Whether or not you've read the manga, it just seems absurd.

** Also both of Mizore's character songs from [=Capu2=] ("Snowstorm" and "Say Yes!"). It's no wonder that RieKugimiya has [[VideoGame/TheIdolmaster portrayed an idol]] [[VideoGame/Persona4 multiple times]].
