What pull in this twist so incredible is the stunning irony of the overall situation . Mito conceal her true gender identity operator originally served as her salvation regarding dearest . Up until that degree , she had never be intimate or been in sexual love , and Ruka was able and unforced to fill that vacuum , since he only sucked the profligate of men . The new ironic twist lies in the fact that Mito had just break that her true identity as a woman would have ensure Ruka loving her for infinity , since she was his so - called " eternal collaborator " , but when the serial became a sex bender by make her a man , she could – because of established traditional knowledge – no longer be Ruka ’s eternal partner .
Incredibly , watcher have been aware for quite some time that the grammatical gender Mito had been identifying as had actually been preventing her from obtaining the true love that she had been pursuing her whole lifetime . On one level , vampires usually make their target without be intimate them , while being successfully seduced does n’t refer love life either , so the initial contract or promise was null .

The series' attempt at shaking up vampire mythos has inadvertantly made its take on the supernatural creature deeply problematic
deplorably , this whole quandary reveals a rough world about the vampiric power system of rules in Vampire Dormitory . Ruka ’s instincts have only been capable to react based on how a person presents themselves , even when it ’s a lie . When Mito presents herself as a female , Ruka ’s vampiric instincts are able to place her as his destined collaborator . But when she perpetuate the Trygve Halvden Lie that she ’s a male person , the window dressing block off Ruka ’s vampiric brainwave from being able to recognize that Mito is his destine partner . In essence , his powerfulness are gender biased rather than being able-bodied to key out Mito as Mito .
Even more tragical is that the dhampir Ren has already assume Mito whether she ’s a man or woman , but he ’s draw to transform her into a mankind , since he is also limited by his sex - biased vampiric power . He would n’t be able to slip Mito by unless she could no longer be Ruka ’s destine partner , and this was only potential once Mito officially became a man , even though Mito is still Mito . irrespective , Vampire Dormitoryis still quite unique since it began as a Latinian language about sex identity beforeembracing the gender - toot genre .
