Is so one finding it a weird coincidence the red dragon soul only appeared after Yu-hon started killing priests and burning temples?

so...I have a theory that it was Yu-hon burning the priests and all but one of the temples that had Hirriyu’s red dragon soul reappearing in the line up. after all it was when king Il saved Kashi from the flames that Kashi felt the soul appear between her and prince Il. 

What if Hirriyu’s soul was trapped in one of the temples or was just resting hovering around the areas and at peace due to all the praying and such? but then THAT happened so he soul appeared.

 I wonder f Yu-hon and yon-hi had gotten the blessing in the temple if Hirruyu’s soul would have descended for them.

 or...maybe the soul only appeared because it had the building bloc of the priest tragedy that was the first domino to fall that would lead to Kashi being reasonably suspect by Yu-hon and why it was believable the yu-hon would kill Kashi(whether he did or not debatable) to il which lead to yu-hon being killed. to then soo-won killing il and yona getting driven out of the castle.

Though it might have been a way to get yu-hon to not be king from the gods that yu-hon probably offended from killing all the priests. maybe just a gift to Il and kaashi because Il was kind and wshed to save kaashi even at the risk of his life which was probably a trait hirryu admired in humans. at the very least those two would protect the reincarnation

Yoon + Hak in the dragged into these magic shenanagans club

jus realized that out of the main group the only one who isn’t really involved with fate magic shenanigan is Yoon and Hak. theres the four dragons. like even soo-won is related to the great red dragon! and yu-hon and Il has the involved with a priest and descendant of hirryu thing going on... along with being royalty.  Hak and yoon are the normals ones and I bet yoon resents being in the same category as hak XD

Comment that I’m proud from youtube on Akatsuki no Yona Chapter 201 part 3

there are many potential layers. maybe soo-won attacked on yona's birthday because if the country got any weaker then he knew the country would be attacked and it would be difficult to recover in time so he really had no choice. maybe he stalled that long because he didn't actually want to kill king il and hurt yona. maybe hejust waited that long so he could grow to a age of a potential reasonable adult age tha could be respected to some degree rather than a kid and because it took that long to gather support. maybe he wanted king Il to show he WAS a bad king so people would accept a change quicker.

Hak seems convinced that there were other routes. that king Il didn't have  to die. We know weirdly soo-won never considered the marriage route with yona even though it was the most peaceful. maybe because he assumed king il doesn't;t like him or due to the connection to the guilt or retaliation at yona if killing yu-hon was discovered by soo-won or something from soo-won's point of view. maybe love just never occurred to soo-won as a route to take. Hak seems completely convinced that Soo-wonhad the ability to advise king Il or convince him about the affects on the rest of the kingdom. to persuade using King il's value of life. it not to go to wa but to find another alternatives for the land to prosper. Hak KNOWS how convcing and smart Soo-won is.....so I wonder if everyone thinks there was no other way....Hak ISN'T convinced there was no other way.

that Soo-won had the option to try to convince king Il but soo-won chose not to. decided to see what type of king, il would be on his own rather than help king Il prosper like yu-hon had wanted to do. that covolume 1 after killing the king and talking to yona about it...the look on his face when he killed Il. he told yona is was about revenge he told hak it was about needed a strong king for the country.....yona has grown more understanding and can relate to the good of the country part as she has faced the affects her dad's poor ruling has had on the people...but I wonder if Hak sees the 'for the country' factor as a bit of a cop out. its definitely not simple revenge as yona knows because soo-won could hold all that in for years and was watching to see if king il could be a good king......but I wonder if Hak will get to drive out the PERSONAL feeling that soo-won has always placed second...out of hiding.

if we'll see the person in that soo-won had the option to make king il a better king but soo-won didn't want to put effort in that route because he as personally still so angry at king il.e definily know king il was awkward and not a big fan of soo-won which feels unfair because soo-won did nothing wrong...but we also know king il chose not to kill soo-won. he chose not to condemn his brother for killing his wife or stope soo-won plan despite knowing the plan from yon-hi and knowing it would probably succeed according to kaashi. and he of course missed his brother. they didn't agree on a lot of thing but it was clear from the flashback hat king il still loved and respected his brother nd that killing him probably didn't help his awkwardness around soo-won. and knowing soo-won wouldn't put yona;s box up made i so the marriage route was never going to happen because it would make soo-won a good king but NOT a good husband to yona who il wanted to have someone to put up her box(Hak).

to soo-won he puts up kouka ALWAYS. the people who follow his dad and put their eggs in soo-won' basket he puts above his own wants and desires as we know what he really wants deep down as a person are his precious hak and yona by his side. but he threw those boxes away even though it hurt him as a person the most to be the king kouka needs....but I wonder if there was a under currant of his personal box of rage he couldn't put away toward king il. so he didn't consider other options. like how soo-won didn't le himself consider yona's peace talk with kourien idea until she cornered him to force him to understand it WAS a real option after he rejected it at first.

I can't help but wonder if king il also didn't try to make things better with soo-won because he knew no matter what that he would fail as king and soo-won was destined to kill him. it it might have ben done so it would hurt soo-won less to kill l him. king il out of everyone we have seen only kill ONE person. the person who killed his wife. his respected brother. the man who burned innocents alive. a loving husband and father. and he was super affected by it and hated the feeling or the idea of others have to experience that...but he didn't stop soo-won from experiencing it.

soo-wn seems to have all these broad ideas bit he fails to notice maybe a better idea could be a peaceful one.

ike kidnapping the king? make king il abdicate to soo-won or retire? advise the king? fake king il's death? convince yona to convince the king?

everyone is convinced it was the only way but I like hak not buying that yet. two wrongs don't equal a right after all.

and I like yona not quite able to talk to hak in detail about it yet because her instinct is to explain soo-won to hak but she knows Hak can't reach his peace with soo-won using the method she used to handle being around soo-won because hak puts his precious things first. hak after all got more and more precious people he cared about personally over the journey til it collimated with him protecting his county and the soldiers by his sides in the battle to get yona and the dragons back. having so much to protect he couldn't hold them all in his hands anymore. yona, the dragons, the windtribe, lili, others from other countries like the cat guy. the fire tribe with tae-jun who is also a better guy now...its a interesting opposite situation because soo-won is protecting the country even if it means hurting himself and the people he personally loves and cares about and respects the most on a personal level.

we also know hak can rlate to that feeling of rage that soo-wn felt so I wonder if that'll be used.

th most interesting thing for me is to think about how soo-won will feel because kyk-sook anf his guard let hak get close and tried to kill him without informing soo-won..

I'm mixed on if  I want yona showing up and getting them to agree to send hak to the front lines so he won't be executed to be on her because its badass and I love it and I like her getting one over kyk-sook....but I have this niggling feeling they fell into kyk-sook's trap to get hak to fight for the kingdom and soo-won and keeping him away from soo-won.

it was a damn good cry though XD and Hak has this new trend of kissing her while she is talking XD though if they don't stop this warit does raise questions if he will live.... but I wonder if the dragons will follow hak into the war...after all yona collected them to protect hak in particular. nd soo-won has mostly been letting kyk-sook run the show for a while

Thoughts on Akatsuki no yona: chapter 196 part 5

Its easy to say king Il  is crazy for bringing up praying and king hirryuy and yona protecting the land...but we also know the gods are REAL in this story. The dragon powers are real. Zeno is imortal. the priests from the head priest, kaashi and yoon’s priest are all legit. and have been confirmed to be able to talk to god, recognize yon-hi’s blood and who yona is(king hiriyu). The dragons HAVE helped solve all of the problems before so-won could get to it. helped stop the slavering ring on the coast. Helped stop the drug ring with Lila and without them Lila probably would have died and it was that situation which helped the water tribe finally decided to act. Yona has found the dragons and has helped bring the firetribe a crop that could save them which is something soo-won never thought about.

Th prophecy is happened. and all the real priests we’ve met have been kind. the head priest was empathetic who visited yon-hi’s family and showed kindness. grieved their losses and was happy they existed. yu-hon didn’t like that the royal family bowed to pray infront of the head priest but there is no evidence that the priest wasn’t just as kind and understanding as the two other priests we know. Kaashi didn’t hold a grudge or hatred toward yon-hi and yu-hon. revealing her identity to yon-hi and trying to talk to her and comfort her when yon-hi got over whelmed and even wanted to come visit her. Telling yon-hi that isnt their meaning in living a good life and being happy to exist when yon-hi was stressing out about not having a meaning to be alive. Tried to comfort yon-hi and reminder yon-hi that even yona is just a regular person.

and yoon-s priest was super kind and could speak to the gods and gave away hewls to help others.

King Il was definitely too idealistic and naive in certain ways. he didn’t know the best way to enforce and spread his values about fighting which tends to be glorified in the kingdom....but also didn’t understand that right now armies and physical strength is nessacary and that by not strengthening the miliatay at all he was leaving the people more vulnerable. he killed his brother even though yu-hon would be able to get people to rally for Il and it wasnt smart and contrasts how yona and soo-won tolerated the people who hurt them if it benifits the country for a while.

But I’m still fixated on hak seeing king Il hold that sword with his bare hands and not let on that it hurts.

Do you guys think Yu-hon killed Kaashi/ordered her death? or do you think Il jumped to conclusions thinking there was no way yu-hon let kaashi off like how Il jumped to conclusions about why yu-hon would lie and hide who yon-hi was? Killing his brother for nothing due to his grief because he though yu-hon killed his wife? Because I was leaning toward jumping to conclusions at first but then yu-hon saying that Il got tricked by that woman..... yu-hon let her go because she was a low level priestess and stuff is a possibility. after all his wife wanted to check if she was okay originally and suffered from her mother killing herself over what yu-hon did.

But yu-hon also expressed vivid hatred deepening for king hirryu and the religion when he was with his wife and he DOES have a tendency to think killing will solve alot of problems with evidence in the past. it doesn’t FEEL like he would so easily let it go. the dudes INTENSE. and Yu-hon started bad mouthing the late Kashi saying she tricked Il and the grandpa and stuff. thats not really giving me confidence that Yu-hon didn’t cause kaashi’s death and can sound like excuses for why Il is better off without her. -_-

and only yon-hi knows the disease might give yu-hon a motivation to project hatred against kaashi or that she must go. Its easy to assume Il was in the wrong and jumped to conclusions again about his big brother who he didn’t understand on some level. On the other Il doesn’t seem the type to plan to kill his brother with no proof other than a imagined motive and the timing of kaashi going to visit yon-hi. and yu-hon gave off a weird vibe after kaashi died and yon-hi was upset by it.

Thoughts on Akatsuki no yona: chapter 196 part 1

hmmm.....do I believe kyk-sook about the talk with the king Il and yu-hon?.....I don’t trust mndern day adult version of him in the slightest....but there isn;t much reason to believe he’d lie as a child/teen. Its a interesting situation where Yona is hearing about what happened from Yon-hi’s diary which Yon-hi over heard from the talks of kyk-sook telling soo-won and the other men. but we saw the talks up close like we were there which gives us a reason to think the report must be completely what happened because WE are seeing it as kyke-sook describes. but if we think about it logically we still don’t know for sure.

On one hand it makes it easier to picture and get a grasp of what happened and who said what because we see it as if we were witnessing it ourselves. On the other my extention of disbelieve is having trouble trusting it. it gives off the vibe of ‘how do you know about the things you weren’t there for’. Like kyke-sook was quite a bit away... how did he hear everything? how did he remember everything word for word? We also know lots of people were disappointed in yu-hon not being chosen so would kyk-sook lie to soo-won to get soo-won motivated?

But then again the proof was that soo-won looked at the corpse and was able to find the stab wound that was easy to miss and that it was in the back which lines up and proves those events. AND we know Il has motive.

It would be very easy to think Il thought Yu-hon killed Kaashi. Il has been paranoid his brother would find out her identity f for years. His brother was willing to kill all the priests, women and children included. Heck Il had saved Kaashi from literally burning alive in that fire that first time which had been on yu-hon’s orders. Kaashi was attacked after being invited to visit yu-hon’s wife and the last time kaashi and yon-hi got together was when yon-hi collapsed after the conversation with Kaashi. If Il found out about yon-hi’s illness and the connection to the king hirryu blood King  Il would have good reason to suspect his brother might try picking a fight with yona or the priestess/wife if his brother projected his sense of helplessness about his wife’s situation onto them.

We and Yon-hi knows how much yu-hon cared about his brother and wanted to support him and appreciated other people who see his younger brother’s worth. no liking people already depressed before his brother has done anything yet for example. telling yon-hi and his son thathe wants to support his brother and the country. Wanting his brother to hang out with him instead of the priests to the point his tone was too harsh and made Il feel bad for enjoying the one thing people dont carepare and look down on IL for. Yu-hon was really bd at getting his feelings across properly to his younger brother. H e wants to support his brother but he never properly let Il know about that.

even when yu-hon has the best intentions to help he tends to forget to talk to the people involved and his help can hurt. like how yu-hon killed all the priests without asking and yon-hi was terrible sad and hurt because none of her family approved of that and her mom killed herself as well as hurting his brother by taking away the only people who didnt make fun of him(the priests), a lie from his brother hiding yon-hi’s bloodline. then seeing up close and personal and murder and killing of priests who hadn’t done anything warenting being set on fire  and the people letting his brother get away with wjth.

There is a chance that yu-hon ordered kaashi or Yona to be attacked if he thought the influence was too strong and dangerious because she was a priest and he thought his brother would rely on the priestess words too much. Or it could have been a attack on Yona due to her being the reincarnation and yu-hon associating that with his dying wife. All of the people supportingyu-hon who heard the words seem to think Il was influenced or deluded thanks to the priestess and that fixationon the religion is the only reason Prince Il was chosen by the original king.

But I do wonder...the priestess kaashi was already dead and Il knows his brothers the popular one. what did he think his brother would do? Il was already going to be king? and we know Il did cry. Yu-hon was thinking of the long term survival of the kingdom and he aparently had a dream of taking over the whole continant according to his followers. Yu-hon definitly seems the more reasonable one daying that Il needs to focus on using the people and puting in work and to not just rely on the gods. Yu-hon was the one actually properly trained to be the leader of the country for years and has the broad enough sense to know you have to rely on people. but we also know Il is right that Yu-hon might care forthe people close to him he will do bad stuff he shouldnt do without a second thought seeing it as justified as a means to a end.

It makes sense why Il wouldn’t trust his brother. especially since we know grief can change people and Kaashi died very recently AND Il is now the king while knowing he isn’t supported by anyone other than Mundeok.

Its easy for us to belive that Il is mistaken and that yu-hon didn’t kill Kaashi. but we are also only viewing him through yon-hi’s lense. the mahoriy of what we see are his good intentions that don’t come out right and trust he fully commited to supporting his brother since he told his wife and kid that.

But Il is also his brother and has seen how far yu-hon will go in other aspects and that even hen you think your safe with the brother if he finds a reason to see you as a enemy yu-hon will change and act swiftly. Though  I wonder  why Il thought stabbing his brother was the only way. Like couldnt he have looked into who killed his wife and get evidence it was his older brother and judge him in a court?

Did Il think no one would convict him because of how popular he is and that he’d get away with it just as Yu-hon got away with killing all those priests because he was so popular and everyone would prefer him? did Il not want his brothers reputation ruined?

Yon-hi seems to truly believe its possible that Yu-hon killed Kaashi and thats pretty telling. though of course one murder doesnt mean its okay to murder someone else and king Il knew yu-hon had a kid so thats cold. I don’t get why Il wouldnt have done something about kyk-soo since it was clear he witnessed the murder and that it wasnt a accident.

Il seems focused on the dragons and praying....but I wonder if its also a result of no one believing in his abilitities? he has spent years of everyone critisizing him instead of teaching him including his brother, even that wasn’t his bro’s intentions. The one thing he was good at was praying. We know Il showed kindness and consideration to even commoners but we also know he didn’t leave the capital much so probably didn’t have alot of experience seeing how sometimes force is nessacary since the one big show for force what what happened to the priests that he saw. and he robably didn’t have favorable thoughts about the cutting up the head thing. I wonder if Il thought he couldn’t rule with his bro by his side because he couldn’t trust him and might see him as a threat to Yona. Though Il being hyper fixated on religion does seem to be his MO and him bringing up that soo-won can’t replace king hirryu and stuff like that later.

Its definitely noticeable that the ‘cowardly king’ nickname that even Il calls himself...I wonder if Il thinks its fiting because he stabbed his brother in the back and pushed him off the cliff instead of listening to him. Though it makes sense that if Il killed his brother why he wouldn’t want soo-won marrying Yona and that he faced his death head on. I wonder if Il though his brother would stop yona from becoming ruler or something?

I’m kind of enraged that the men told literal child soo-won about his dad literally being murdered by his uncle. They let him dig up his fathers dead body to check the wounds O.O

He is a CHILD. and while its smart because as a kid he would be less likly to get in trouble if found out and Soo-won chose to do this. Soo-won wouldn;t have looked into this if he wasn’ told about the murder. And aparently telling a literal child about it was better then them telling the mom? the PARENT that her husband had been killed by his brother. They let soo-won dig up his fathers corpse and never though to ask her opinion? Like soo-won is practical and he seems unaffected discussing everything but the fuck?

[ilikelookingatthings]

Akatsuki no yona chapter 195: youtube comment I’m proud of: Part 6

it might be a linear story but it is also a SHOUJO linear story where the emotions and nuances are ALWAYS the focus in shoujo. and Yona has been dealing with not getting enough informtion about anyone. yu-hon, her dad, her mom, soo-won. the fact that her mom and dad knew she was the reincarnation from the begining. finding out reasons her dad might have mixed or negative feelings for her uncle but also finding out why her uncle did something as cruel as killing all the priests and the good sides her uncle had. its relivant to the current story because yona even assumed soo-wons mom was alive this whole time just to find out recently that was not the case. she had to revaluate her father after leaving the castle and finding out the bad affects of his rule, but also see first hand the horrors even mini battles can have so why he would want to avoid them at all costs.

remember what exactly is motivating yona? she's been wandering around geting to know her country and helping out being nescaty due to her being on the run but also because she wants to know her country and no longer be nauve. get to really know the good and bad her dad was in his reign and know more about her land and her family. Yona was  betrayed by soo-won in the begining and there was the implication she never really KNEW him in the first place. that both hak and yona didnt get the extra context to properly understand soo-won. but the parts of him they DO know are a lie either because WE know soo-won was conflicted at times and missed them even if that wouldn't stop him from killing them if he HAS to and both hak and yona know soo-won would make a good king.

yona's motivation isnt just surviving, and its not taking over her kingdom back and getting her place on the thrown. she got the dragons together because she knew that was the one way that she and hak would survive but they've mostly been wandering around. the theme connecting it all together was yona LEARNING the true face and nuances of her kingdom. Yona in this case is getting to learn in detail about different sides to all of her relatives and the conflict that had been right infront of her that she hadn't noticed. stuff that soo-won went through. that her kind father hadn't been the kindest to soo-won but there are understandable reasons for that even if you disagree with it.

yona her self in the begining called her father a kind by cowardly king. cowardly king being one of the last things in a personal talk she told him when he refused to let her marry soo-won. HAK is really the only one we know truly respected king Il and didn't see him as cowardly even if he disagreed with many of his policies. who really saw that strength in Il.  

and here she got a look at yu-hon who everyone respects married yon-hi because yon-hi could see the strength in Il's kindness, and was irritated at others for looking down on his brother. found out her uncle did that cruel thing of killing the priests for possible multiple reasons but for at least to protect yon-hi even if it was over kill.  yona saw him as he scary uncle even if she cared for him. her father saved her mother from being burned alive by his own brother.

like its not really fluff if its answering yona's real goal... of understanding soo-won. why he did what he did. and all of her love ones as well as her country and how it ended up this way.

because a big difference to the other flashbacks that only WE got to see...that gave US new insight about the characters..we know YONA is actually reading these flashbacks WITH us through the diary. SHE is seeing and getting the information that we are seeing...which also means she is going to have opinions and REACT to these flashbacks once we get back into the present timeline. yona's going to have opinions on yu-hon, and kaashi and yon-hi and Il. not to mention its giving a look from someone going through the disease that soo-won is going through.

yona is going to realize all over again how much she didnt know about her loved ones and what her view will be about soo-won and this disease he has. something connected to king hiirryu who SHE is a reincarnation of. will she think she was blamed or hated without knowing it?

there is also the questions of what were Il's intentions when he told yona he couldn't let yona marry soo-won. yona first assumed it was out of care way back in the first volume because of the danger being in the main royal family in line for the throne puts you in. then we had a different feelings that it was to protect yona because king il didn't trust soo-won because il killed his dad. then maybe Il not wanting soo-won to marry her because soo-won's dad killed all the priests. but we also saw Il see yon-hi suffer from this illness that soo-won had a chance of getting or passing on to any children. and so his strong brother yu-hon deal with having a wife at risk of dying and suffering through that.

possible that king Il didnt want yona to marry soo-won because she'd be at risk of becoming a widow and suffering seeing her husband die or seeing hr kids die from the disease.

then maybe we think there might be resentment from Il telling soo-won he can't be king hirryu that we saw as Il being fixated on the religious stuff...but considering we know his brother was no longer neutral about hirryu maybe its connected to that last conversation the brothers ever had.

by the way I enjoyed your drunk review last time
