Today’s long haired anime guy of the day, per request, is:

Ichiru Kiryuu

Only somebody with a connection to IT would name their twins as 0 and 1. I think in Japan they naming twins starting from 1 if they want similar names for them. Or the same phrase with different writing and pronunciation.

It's so strange that Zero is the off/not having signal and Ichiru is on/having signal. But Zero was born earlier. I can't understand.

there hasn’t be a more heartbreaking scene in vampire knight than zero being at his lowest and going to his brother’s grave and lying on it while calling out softly for his brother and trying his best to seek strength and to live on simply because it was ichiru’s wish for him

Do you know what the problem with this?

Actually I have these playing cards .There are pictures of the anime on them till around guilty ep 2 .The aces, 2s, 3s are Zero, Yuuki, Kaname and J, Q, K also. But in one colour instead of Zero they put Ichiru on the Jack. Thanks VIZ media. ( Well, writing Kuran as Clan is also a great feat. But they're Japanese and if you want to write clan in Japanese it would be kuran. )

Who do you think Ichiru loves more: Shizuka or Zero? Like, when Ichiru was dying I think he pretty much figured that even if he lived there wouldn’t really be a place he could go to or be a part of (Hunters, Cross Academy, etc.). But if Zero had killed Shizuka and not Kaname then do you still think Ichiru would have had that heart wrenching ending with Zero?

Ichiru’s a tough character to pin down, even in the original canon. He’s a fickle, vindictive, bitter young man whose loyalties are confused and split. I don’t think he ever understood himself very well. As such, I don’t think he understood much about love. I think he was loyal to Shizuka, and I think he felt guilt and shame toward Zero. I don’t think he loved Zero; no one could do to Zero what Ichiru did and be said to love that person. He never once acted in Zero’s best interests–only his own. 

That being said, I don’t think he’d have blamed Zero for hating or killing Shizuka, unlike Kaname or Rido. Zero had every reason to hunt Shizuka down, and Ichiru would understand that even if he acted against Zero. If Zero had been the one to kill Shizuka rather than Kaname, I don’t think much would have changed. Ichiru would still have been suicidal and would still have wrongly blamed Rido for Shizuka’s fall (when really he should have blamed Kaname). Whether Ichiru would have died at Rido’s hands or not would merely depend on whether Kaname decided to resurrect Rido or not in a scenario where Zero had killed Shizuka and Kaname hadn’t gotten the benefit of her powers added to his own. 

Either way, I don’t think Ichiru would have survived in a world without Shizuka. I think completing the fragment for Zero was what Ichiru felt he “owed” Zero for the life he didn’t think he was ever meant to have, and without Shizuka in that life he had no reason to live it. He’d have committed suicide in one way or another. How heart-wrenching that suicide would have been is up for speculation. 

Sorry, this is kind of a nonanswer, but there are too many variables in this speculation to really go further. ;)
