In Vampire Knight, some Level Ds, vampires who were turned by other vampires,
are unable to metabolize blood created from blood tablets (synthetic blood
created by the Night Class). That is said clearly in the story, but is it ever
explained?

Why can't all Level Ds drink blood from blood capsules?


It could very well be genetic. In the manga, it's shown that Zero has been
using Blood Tablets since Rido's destruction, there are 2 things which
occurred around the time of Rido's destruction:

  1. He drank Ichiru's blood, thus becoming the "complete" hunter he was supposed to be.

  2. He drank Yuki's blood after she was turned back into a Pure-Blood.

We can rule out the second as Yuki's Blood at that time is Kuran blood, which
Zero has had before from Kaname. Also, Yuki's blood as a human must have had
some link to Kuran Blood as Rido also wanted it to be resurrected. So all
that's left is the fact Zero had a genetic flaw since he was only a half-
hunter.

In the anime, it only seems to reference that there are others like Zero, but
Zero is the only one that I have seen, and I also have yet to seen anyone else
in the manga either.
