A missed opportunity..

I love getting asks! So many different opinions and point of views that either agree or disagree with my point of view! Nice!

However, I have read the chapter now two times and I do think that you could interpret some of the events differently...

I say it at the beginning: This is merely the try of an explanation! I did not nor will I ever think that murdering people for whichever reason is right... Explaining the behaviour of people does not mean justifying it!

First I would like to address, why Kusanagi most likely let the priests have honest and good intentions. They did not seem to be a threat, right?

So why?

Because it is a missed oppurtunity...

I deem this part of the story like a drama, where we can see how the older generation commits serious mistakes that will lead to severe consequences for them, but also for the whole country.

The meeting between the priests and the descendants of Hiryuu could have let to a beneficial relationship for both parties...The priets seemed to enjoy the presence of the descendants, even though they could have perceived them as a threat...but they did not!

And the descendants could have found the reason for their existence again!

But in the end...the priets were burnt alive...and that because Yu hon feared them...feared that they could have been a threat to Yon hi.

Well...there is some relation to the present drama...speaking of “missed opportunities”

I would also like to address what Yon hi´s presence means to Yu hon.

Yon hi´s meaning to Yu hon

I do not know exactly why Yu hon was so distant to his family members, but it really seemed he had nobody to rely on...

I do think that Yu hon was aware what people expected from him...

That they considered him to be their leader, the strongest warrior...a ruler....

putting him on a pedestrial up high...

(Guess...who did inherit that...)

But that is pretty lonely...

And so....Yu hon chose Yon hi for the reason, that she is a woman he could rely on...

The selfish reason of the people ...(to protect and be protected)

His fear that something could happen to her or her people - the people, swore to protect...

(Yu hon simply wished to be with Yon hi no matter what and in order to be able to...he swore to protect her people and her...Not exactly a selfless wish...)

It is interesting that the wish to protect and therefore “sacrifice” the life of certain people is a well-known topic in the manga...only the sacrifice and their numbers differ...

Hak, Yona and Soo Won all wish to protect...in Hak´s and Soo Won´s case it is not necessarily portrayed as something positive in contrast to Yona´s murder of Kum Ji.

Everybody has his reasons to protect...Hak wishes to protect his friends and family, Soo Won wishes to secure the country that had nearly fallen apart and Yona wishes to protect “many people”...

Hak has never the chance to act according to his urge, since he is “rescued” by Algira...

Every character here thought the murder was “necessary”..But was that the case?..Even in Yu hon´s case there are some voices that try to justify his decision...

“The populace” supported Yu hon and therefore “justified” his actions.

( I remember that it was not rare to kill even the children in order to avoid the existence of people who could take revenge...)

More or less this lady implies that it doesn´t matter who dies = is sacrificed as long as the populace of Kouka is alright.

That is the source of Yu hon´s unbelievable influence inside Kouka! Remember King Junam was ready to most likely punish him...but the people defended him...

So that is the other side of the medal - We already know the other extreme and its consequences:

Well...just giving in and merely show weakness did not end well either...

But is Yu hon´s brutal way to crush the enemy completely really the right way?

Well...there are consequences demonstrated directly in front of our eyes...

The consequences of Yu hon´s deeds...

Yon hi´s mother committed suicide, when she heard of Yu hon´s deeds...She blamed herself...for something she could have done nothing to prevent it...

Yon hi blames herself...and lives with a feeling of guilt, even though she could have hardly guessed that he would react like this...

Guess...who does this too...blaming herself even though she could have done nothing to prevent it...

It could also be that Soo Won has internalized some of his mother´s issue that he has to bear along with his own wrongdoings...( I guess it was @sorasan000

that suggested that idea)

I wonder if Soo Won learnt from his parents past and decided to detach himself from other people in order for him to be a good king...

The loss of important bonds...

Similar to Soo Won, the rift between Il and Yu hon became unbelievable large...

the loss of reason for the Hiryuu village....

and the fact that he burnt innocent people alive...(that may harbor anger and hate regarding Yu hon...)

Truly a thing a “monster” would do?

Really? Does the mangaka waste an entire chapter just to show us a case between “beauty and the beast”, where the beast stays bad?

A moral question I guess and I tend to not answer moral question...so if you think that he is a monster, I guess that might be alright...

To sum it up:

It is hard to decide and sometimes a moral dilemma if violence is justified

The past events demonstrate many parallels of the present problems

The three friends have to overcome their past (They are supposed to be the positive trio...actually 4 people when we count Lily in!)
