Which character relationships is the one thing that stood out for you ?

From a manga called Akatsuki no Yona, whatever the heck is going on between protag Yona and the main antagonist.

Just look at this:

she had a crush on him since childhood, they’ve always been friends

for (seemingly) no reason he kills her dad, usurps the throne, tries but fails to get her killed too

plot stuff -> upgraded from helpless naive princess to badass, also sees that her dad seemed to have kinda sucked as his job and murder dude is objectively doing it better

one time they accidentally meet and he could’ve had the perfect opportunity but instead hides her from his allies and just leaves, what’s up with that?? (And he’s still in "gotta find and stop her“ mode here mind you)

still don’t know what’s up with that mystery murder, also years earlier her dad mystery- killed antagonists dad? Two mystery murders now

keep crossing paths because they both really just want what’s best for the country, and are forced to work together for that (despite all the regicide in the room)

they’re both linked to this ancient dead king -> she‘s magically linked to some op dragon dudes and seeks them out to help her (and adopt into the found family) , while his bloodline is cursed to die early and he couldn‘t give less fucks about the dragons power, and it’s this Gods vs Man thing here

looootts of other plot stuff connected to all that

Theres actually another guy in all of this who‘s perfectly slotted between them but don’t even get me started on him

It is complicated and intriguing and plot relevant and man can you feel the tension from. All of that throughout the manga (though it’s currently changing because of a bunch of plot revelations, idk it’s the middle of the arc).

[shiobookmark]

Putting on my character analysis hat for Su-won lately. Spoilers for current official release, about volume 36 to be safe.

The fundamental conflict with him and what makes him such an interesting character is that he is kind, compassionate and loves his friends deeply. But he also won’t prioritise that love over what he sees as the greater good. This is how he can love Yona and Hak more than anyone and grieve their loss, grieve their pain and regret their parting, while still ruthlessly carrying out the plot that caused that pain. But I loosely recall a scene where Yona confronts him over what his father did to Xing, where he promised to release civilian prisoners but instead beheaded them by the hundreds and threw their heads over the walls. And Su-won dismissively says that such things often happen in war, or that they’re sometimes necessary, but when Yona presses him on this he seems shocked and angry.

Unfortunately I don’t have that particular volume with me but assuming my memory holds true... Isn’t that interesting? Why would he care what she thought? Surely as detached as he is from sentiment, he would recognise his father’s flaws while still loving him? I think Su-won is very aware of his father’s legacy. He abides by his words and his methods in ruling the country, trying to discard sentiment in order to take precise and direct action. But his father caused everything about the current predicament with Yona because of his love for lady Yon-hi. He couldn’t discard sentiment no matter how much he talked about doing what was needful.

His father impulsively slaughtered priests and the queen in order to protect his mother, without considering how King Il might take revenge or what position that would place their family in long-term. I think Su-won tells himself that he won’t act for personal interest or love when it comes to Yona and Hak precisely because he’s aware of that very thing being his father’s downfall.

But he hasn’t considered his own feelings for his father. Because his father is dead. He hasn’t yet considered that he’s being held back by his love for his father, that maybe his father wasn’t the perfect general he believed him to be. A mass slaughter of civilians and throwing their heads over the walls doesn’t match with ‘doing what is necessary’ and not being swayed by emotion, so there must have been a reason for it. Such things do happen in war time, there must have been context. It couldn’t possibly be because his father was a blood thirsty tyrant who wasn’t fit for the throne any more than Il was. There is definitely a lingering sense of that in his actions, in how he didn’t want to kill Il until he was sure he was unfit. But I don’t think he’s quite ready to grapple with it yet. Su-won is someone without faith. He’s dying from a disease inflicted by the gods as a result of their meddling in human affairs. He should have been king but was instead forced into the role of a usurper through duty and because apparently no one else is going to save this mess of a country, and he can’t even have the luxury of his loved ones by his side. No wonder he doesn’t want anything to do with the dragons. I also wonder how much he believes in Kei-suk. He’s a smart boy, but I do wonder if being so smart from such a young age was something of a detriment, as he was left to take all this on alone.

And if I can speculate for a bit, I think he might survive. Because Yona is coming to the end of her arc on revenge vs compassion, which leaves the lingering question of how she deals with Su-won long-term. He and Hak have a lot to sort out, so he needs to survive long enough for Hak to let go of revenge. Hak is being eaten alive right now, if Su-won dies, that won’t ever end. And Su-won needs to realise that he’s not alone. That he doesn’t have to be bound up in duty all alone. Yona’s strength is in compassion and relying on her friends. Su-won seems to be juggling a lot of allies who all want something from him other than himself.

If this story is about breaking cycles of revenge, it’s also about breaking the circle of suffering inflicted by the dragons and the chains of duty. A lot has been written about how generations of humans have died for nothing, waiting for the return of the king. And Su-won’s bloodline has been compared to the dragons, simply waiting for the return without even a true duty to sustain them. They have only an early death with none of the glory. And I think breaking the cycle is incomplete if it doesn’t break the illness too. You could cure that one other lady whose name I forget, but it wouldn’t have as much impact.

[neixins]

[PT: “Is it Yona's place to decide that their pain outweighed their happiness? and thus they should all be erased from existence?”. end PT.]

i can see the argument about the lack of reflection.. personally that didn’t bother me because we’ve seen repeatedly how quickly yona can asses a situation and act accordingly (without the readers necessarily being privy to her thoughts) so i just assumed that she did weigh the pros and cons in this case too because like. why wouldn’t she. also dreams can be fickle things and there’s no guarantee she would’ve had time to ponder, and she was already desperate, so i get why her response was so quick.

i’ve made the same point about moments of joy in another reblog on this post, but i also have the need to reiterate that everyone chose to live for as long as they could despite the pain, and the ability to have agency over anything is that much more valuable when there are so many things that u can’t control, so taking that away would be immeasurably cruel. zeno’s an exception here since he can’t die, and if the current conflict were Purely about zeno wanting to die vs yona wanting him to live, i might feel differently about yona’s actions but zeno’s totally disregarding the other dragon warriors’ thoughts and feelings on the matter—he didn’t even bother to ask them!—and regardless of how much i want him to finally experience peace, whether it’s through death or getting to grow old, i simply don’t think his wants take precedence over the other dragon warriors’, especially when throughout the series there’s been an emphasis on letting them make their own choices. and yona’s decision ultimately does let them have agency.

(brief tangent but i’ve seen some people bring up that everyone would still be alive if yona had made a different choice, just not connected to the dragon gods, but that’s a frankly ridiculous assumption to me. like i thought everyone knew about the butterfly effect lmao.)

anyway yeah exactly if yona had made a different choice people would be criticizing that too, and unduly harshly at that. because god forbid a teenage girl ever make a narratively compelling decision!

hm. i apparently have an unpopular opinion about yona’s decision during her conversation with hiryuu…… like. obviously she’s motivated by the desire to save her friends—she loves them and cares about them deeply and is scared of losing them—and there’s some selfishness in that (on a more facetious note though, god forbid teenage girls do anything i guess…). but the interpretation of her decision as selfish to the point of cruelty and/or naïveté just doesn’t sit right with me. like there is no solution to the conundrum she was presented with that doesn’t involve tragedy. and i’m never, ever letting anyone forget that jaeha, gija, and sinha were never given a choice regarding zeno’s whole murder-suicide plan, and they don’t regret being alive, so wouldn’t changing the past and effectively erasing them from existence (when they already have no agency atm!!!!) be so much more cruel? wouldn’t discarding two millennia worth of lives, regardless of how painful they’d been, be so much more cruel? does a life lived not matter because there was suffering?

and yona values life, even when it hurts, so she was never gonna make a different choice, and i just don't think that that's extremely selfish or naïve of her; the dragon warriors are not just vessels for the gods, they're people, and they don't deserve to be erased because the gods don't care about the pain they cause, and she can't confront the gods in the dream realm, she has to do it in her present which can't exist if she changes it! (also on a purely narrative level, any other choice would've basically rendered 40+ volumes of the story pointless.) and besides, it's more interesting to focus on trying to make things better rather than rewriting the past, and she'll have to sacrifice something to save everyone (the part of her that's a reincarnation of hiryuu, obviously, and possibly something more) which will even things out anyway.

Akatsuki no Yona chapter 217

Loved seeing a bit of insight on Soo-Won's ways of dealing with feelings. Boxes and suppression. Yeah really got me convinced he genuinely loves them still, despite of what happened

Looking for Hak unconsciously ofc, despite his will

The fraction between Gods vs People theme still going strong

Yona and the bunch wanting to leave right after the war to look for Hak ofc. Ha Soo-Won I bet you miss her support already. Like he seemed so moved when she promised to be there for him if he fell ill?

Awww the feels. Idk it's all so complicated. The Hiryuu castle feels right for the dragons, Hak and Soo-Won feel right for each other as allies, the trio is still the closest bittersweet thing, torn part through things they didn't directly choose...can they ever make up?

This is leading to some kind of resolution and peace between them just so we can cry our eyes out when Soo-Won dies. Or what if it doesn't? What if fulfilling the legend means the end for the illness and the dragon suffering?

The manga is really excellent in keeping readers invested through mysteries and unresolved questions. And relationships.

I loved the part with Jea Ha realizing Yona was crying to Soo-Won while putting up a smile for the dragons. He is so cool and insightful!

Yeah she cares more about not hurting you. She doesn't worry about it that much with Soo-Won

Hak in the pile of corpses! So weak and battered he couldn't even walk! So hurt and vulnerable in enemy territory

Also how does someone so selfless as Hak exist?! Worry about the herbs, Yoon, not himself before the flood and now he was again worried about the pouch...😭

Who is this mother and her son? Why did she help Hak? Did she recognize him? From where?

What if this really will lead to some big reveal about Hak? What if he is a kid from South Kai? What if he is related to their scary generals?

What would it mean if Hak ended up being some kind of Kai nobility anyway? I don't think it would change how he would feel...what would be the effect thematically, explaining his exceptional power with lineage?

I'm worried about Hak being captured or used or something for the upcoming conflict 😭

[thoughtfulstudentsalad]

I wonder, why was it her that handled the fire situation?

Well, because maybe if Su-Won stays as king, Lili will be the next queen. Or by the end of this, she will be in the royal family (by marrying Su-Won).

Also because Su-Won will likely praise her for protecting the capital when they reunite. (Hoping it is next chapter, I think their interactions are really going to hit different than before since we are nearing the finale)

So far, SW has shut lili out. I don't know honestly how it will progress? I think this is the end of their interactions?

That wall he puts up with her will go down at one point. I think the hairpin will do that. I do not think their interactions are over.

Also great discussion about Lili's initiative. Su-Won praises that characteristic quite a few times. Even that time he shut her out, he said he admired her for it lol.

Honestly, Lili and Yona's situations growing up were similar; except that Yona pre-coup showed little drive or motivation to improve herself or her nation - yes, part of it was due to circumstance, but perhaps also her nature - If only Yona had Lili's drive from the start and acted between the 10 year span Su-Won gave Il... but she didn't, it was only kickstarted by Su-Won killing her father, and as wrong as it was for Su-Won to do that, maybe nothing else would have kicked off that unbreakable drive needed to rule in such a short time.

Lili on the other hand, was restricted by her father in similar ways, but her nature was different from Yona's.

I also believe that after Il's assertion that Yona was Hiryuu, Su-Won likely did investigation into that growing up and came to the conclusion that there were zero ruling capabilities in Yona as Il alleged... being Hiryuu and having the dragons are useful but he didn't believe in their existence at the time, nor believed in "the power of gods/heaven that only watches and has no meaning to him" (he was definitely referring to Yona and Il then) and Il was not helping her be a ruler with the way he raised her. Also Yon-hi told nothing about her clan to Su-Won apparently? Not sure how it would have worked...

Plus take a look at the way Su-won talks about "the crimson dragon king/Yona" vs Lili:

Su-Won says clinging to the Crimson Dragon King's name is meaningless and that he is tired of hearing it (which begs the question, how many times did he have to hear that Yona was the reincarnation?)... however Lili's efforts he calls meaningful. Maybe this means nothing but it's an interesting comparison I noted.

What I also don't get is, Yona too was likely hearing the bad talk about Il, how he was obedient to tribes, how no one respected him, how he was neglecting his people, and yet somehow she thought his kingdom was "peaceful and happy, just like he wanted"? Come on Yona, why? How?

Also, Hak never thought to tell Yona this? Nothing about the situation, nothing about the conditions of the tribes? Neither did Mundok? I don't know what to think here. I want to know more about Mundok's ideology.

Hak too was not that surprised to see people suffering, not in the way Yona was. Did Hak not know or did he think she couldn't handle it?

Akatsuki no yona

Trauma dump

*proceed at your own expense, I am very harsh*

So, in my family everyone reads Akayona and then we have DISCUSSIONS, which lead to this convo

This has irked me for the longest of time. Was it just blind devotion? Or was there something else? Either way was it worth something to put the well being of people at risk? Il is unfit and incompetent enough to be a ruler. And he is being followed by some greatest people who are sensible enough but they don't oppose him at all??????? Hak and mundeok as well???? they don't question him, but actually view him as Yona's kind father? like what dude???? before he is Yona's father he is the king of the people, and he has a responsibility towards them, if he can not do it, leave it to someone who actually can...

Are their brains empty or what? In the end it was not realistic approach but devotion? In this regard soowon's statements make sense. That he has no need for gods nor the people who follow them blindly if all they do is disregard people they are SUPPOSED to be taking care of and instead sacrifice them. Like don't take the job if you can't fulfill the basic job descriptions. Its part of you job king il , you were suppose to do it.

Like is yona's father the only person who was killed? So many families were ruined because of him???? What about their fathers???? Is yona the only one feeling depressed or hopelessness after het father dies??

There were so many people who faced worse things, like human trafficking , who knows how many have been taken away???? What happened to their trauma? All she saw was her father's death? There were people who faced worse things? There is no light that was brought on these situations? Also She had Hak and then the dragons beside her. The common people suffering did not have this luxury. How can it be compared on the same level????? the only traumatizing thing that Yona went through in the series is seeing her father being killed by the person she has hots for. And she has been unable to let go. true it took her time to be mature enough to understand reasons but STILL...

IMO, Il would be accountable and answerable of his incompetency.

hi anon!!

i definitely do!! i mean, im not sure what you’re into so ill give you a great long list with lot’s of different options!!! this will mostly be anime but at the end ill include a few manga. i tend to watch anime vs read manga. 

violent/horror/gore/supernatural (& i mean it. skip this first set if you cant handle gore or graphic content)

berserk. both the 90s / new remake are great. there’s also movies that go through the entire story arc. but this one is VERY dark & very graphic. 

attack on titan. AMAZING. 

goblin slayer. so fucking good. 10/10. still waiting on the next season.

blood+ great story with a great love story. 

elfen lied. creepy and fantastic. 

another. i dont think this one was as graphic, but creepy. i havent seen it in a while though so i could be wrong. 

re:zero. a thriller sort of anime with some graphic content. 

boku dake ga inai machi / erased. HOLY SHIT SO GOOD. main character can reset 7min before accidents happen & he sets out to find out what happens to a childhood friend. 

higurashi no naku koro ni kai. cute killer girls. kind of dated, but still worth the watch. has amazing music. 

kiseijuu sei no kakuritsu 

slice of life / chances are it will destroy your life & make you cry

fruits basket 2019 reboot. this is my first time enjoying this series. i love it. cute animation, awesome story. 

action anime (could have hints of violence but not like the first list)

akatsuki no yona / yona of the dawn. SO GOOD. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GOOD THIS ONE IS. it only has one season, but the manga? read it if you enjoy the first season. it’s about a spoiled pampered princess & her forever loyal bodyguard + the loyal “dragons” that come to follow her. lots of action, romance, and amazing relationships between the entire cast of characters. 

seirei no moribito. female lead character protecting a royal boy. fantastic.

the rising of the shield hero SOOOOO GOOD. 

demon slayer. brother sets out to save his sister. it’s a nice story. great animation.

classic anime that everyone should watch just because 

sailor moon / sailor moon crystal. crystal has done through infinity arc & the dream arc is coming next fall. it follows the manga a lot closer than the 90s anime ever did and even if a lot of people didn’t like the animation, i loved it. especially for the second season / r arc. 

inuyasha. fantastic story, amazing love story. the characters are great. and despite being older, it doesnt feel dated. the final arc was fantastic & tugged at my heartstrings over and over again

trigun. i havent watched this one in YEARS but i always enjoyed it. probably a little dated by now.

yu yu hakusho. also a little dated, im here still hoping for a reboot someday. 

chobits. really cute!!

naruto shippuden. literally no reason to watch naruto (220 episodes lmao) because a quick google search would explain the story. just watch shippuden but for the love of god skip the filler  there’s also a bunch of movies. dont bother with boruto. also has amazing openings/endings. 

rurouni kenshin / samurai x. you can honestly jsut watch the movies. ESPECIALLY TRUST & BETRAYAL. that movie is one of my favorites. i actually rewatched this series… two summers ago? its held up well despite being older. 

avatar the last airbender. 

anything studio ghibli. 

manga 

sailor moon, the manga is so fucking good. ive read it so many times, it never gets old. it’s my favorite canon of the series. 

akatsuki no yona. i cant even with this manga. again, 10/10. its one of my favorites. if the first season of the manga interested you, watch it and continue the manga. it’s still ongoing. 

love so life. age difference romance. a high school student is the babysitter for two adorable twins that are being raised by their uncle. literally so good. 

faster than a kiss. another age difference romance. a teen girl and her baby brother are orphaned and eventually alone. her teacher takes them in. another amazing story. 

sorry this got kind of long, i hope you find something here you like!! let me know if you do!!!!

OKAY BUT YONA THEORY TIME

Soo Won says Yona’s dad, Il, killed his dad, Yu Hon.

We know Il (and Yona’s mom!) were aware their child was a reincarnation of the crimson dragon king somehow.

We now know that Soo-won’s Mom was actually Dying of Crimson Dragon Disease and so is Soo Won

What if Yu-hon wanted to take out all the dragon descendants or something similarly rash to "cure” his family? Or something else dragon related that would put Yona in danger? What if the one time in his life Il turned to violence was to protect Yona, and he ended up killing his own brother? What if Yona’s mom was involved in all that somehow?

I don’t know what happened, but I think in the direction this arc is going and the shots of foreshadowing of how Il treated Soo-Won, the conflict between the two could have been something like Il wanting to preserve the protection of the four dragons and wanting some “destined/sanctioned by the gods” things to play out so his daughter would be okay vs Yu-hon being like “fuck the gods, look what its done to my family' and wanting to upend everything. How the rest of the nation would be involved with the gods plans vs without them could have been a point of conflict as well.

POSSIBLY.

[thoughtfulstudentsalad]

I beg your pardon? Has she not tried to become more involved with politics over time? It's only been less than a goddamn year, give the girl some slack, her father was restricting her education for her entire life. Normally royals aren't restricted from that. Il chose to stay cooped up in his room, but Yona never even had a choice. Yet she's done far more for Kouka than her father did.

Whereas Su-Won had the luxury of being surrounded by so many supporters and getting access to a political education since his very birth, since he was originally seen as the freaking crown prince. No matter what, you have to admit that Su-Won wouldn't be where he is if he wasn't Yu-Hon's son and benefitting from the privileges of nobility.

He is not rash, neither driven by personal gains. He puts the best interest of the country above his own and sacrificed his own well being to relieve the suffering of the people who were damaged by ' the king who kept family first'

HAHA sorry but this is not true. No matter what even if it was for the country, he still went after revenge, there was a personal stake in his motives.

Yona is kind but not wise, she is emotional but not skilled in politics

She's still better than Il.

I REPEAT, THE MC CAN BE WRONG. LET THAT SINK IN.

Nothing is "sinking in" when I already know this.

about the akatsuki no yona vs soowon thing, yes its making yona look like the hero. But I don't think so. soowon was the one who managed everything from bottom to top and did negotiations with other countries to maintain a balance

The matter is that the series is titled Akatsuki no Yona, probably because the dawn has to do with her hair. She is also the legitimate and canonical heroine of this series. Whether Su-Won plays a more important role as the king is kind of irrelevant here, ultimately it was the author's decision.

She is literally protected by the plot armor. She is spared from making the difficult Decision. What balance has she attained? She has not faced any conflict

Let's see... she was forbidden from stepping outside, lost her father, mother, almost Hak a number of times, dealt with heartbreak, dealt with realizing how ignorant and responsible she was for the suffering of her people, learned her father was hated by his country, got stabbed in the back and a bloody eye protecting Lili, swallowed down her resentment to ally with and protect Su-Won, risked her life to stop Su-Won from starting a war with Xing, forced herself to deal with Kye-sook, acknowledged and thanked the murderer of her mother, stayed calm after being slapped in the face by Chagol, decided to fight for Zeno after hearing that the dragon gods wanted her to kill him? Been dealing with future visions of all her friends dying and trying to change that fate?

And yes she seems to have 'protection', but is she entirely protected if the dragon gods made her the only person who could kill Zeno? When they are why she saw Hak die in front of her in her dream?

I'm not saying she's my favorite character by any means, because she's certainly not, but to say she's "not faced any conflict" is total BS. Like haven't you been reading the story? Her entire character had her getting out of a bubble to gain more knowledge about the world. She's definitely better than King Il. Even Su-Won has admitted it, so I don't know why you would deny this. I think you're trying to rationalize this.

He is emotionally intelligent. Lol. Not like a crybaby. The boy didnt even had anyone to lean on when his father died. Yona had Hak. He had to steel himself. If that is not emotional balancing I don't know what is

SUPPRESSING EMOTIONS DOESN'T EQUATE BALANCE.

As long as he hasn't dealt with those unresolved feelings and continues avoiding them, which he has a tendency to do, I really can't call that emotionally intelligent. That's just bottling up feelings and a time will eventually come when it explodes and comes crashing down.

He's the guy who tried to abandon his friends because his father said so and then realized only later that it was impossible. An emotionally intelligent person would have had the self-awareness to realize this about this themselves a long time ago.

The story is called Akatsuki no Yona, no Akatsuki no Suwon. So in this story Yona will be right. Imagine thinking that putting your country above your family and loved ones is a positive message. Finding a balance between your political duties and your personal life is what a ruler should be. By the way, Suwon loves people, but he doesn't understand them. He doesn't have much emotional intelligence. He can predict the material needs of the populace, but feelings are another matter entirely.

Hi Anon! I wholeheartedly agree with you. Putting a nation over loved ones is not a healthy or positive way to live. Yona has managed to find a balance, and while Su-Won is intelligent, he lacks emotional intelligence. I don’t think he has fully processed his grief or realized how broken he truly is. Treating people like disposable pieces is no way to rule in the long run unless you want all your followers to lose trust/loyalty and turn on you. Nevertheless, I think the utilitarian mindset is definitely accurate to some politicians in the real world, even today. In that respect there is realism. Being a ruler isn’t easy, and hard choices often must be made. If Yona becomes queen, she must find a way to face that.

Whether or not Yona will have the throne also isn't clear, however. We aren’t sure if she wants to be queen. We also don't know if Su-Won will die. If not, I can imagine he’ll either learn to rule as a more balanced individual, or he may really abdicate the throne to Yona as he is absolutely exhausted from always prioritizing national interests at the cost of his personal relationships and self. I don't mind either end now. I believe that abdicating the throne might be a great way to end his arc. But again, it depends on whether Yona wants the throne.

Also, what about Hak? What does he want?

REYLO VS YONA OF THE DAWN

Post written by ME. The animated gifs present in this post AREN’T MINE and DON’T HAVE ANY WAY TO ME! Akatsuki no Yona ("Yona of the Dawn") is a 2009 historical/adventure/sentimental Manga, written and designed by Mizuho Kusanagi, of which Studio Pierrot produced Anime adaptation, formed by a total of 24 episodes and an OAV. In reality, story told in Yona and that told in Star Wars Episode VII and VIII, are totally different, however there are parallels between two stories make it possible to realize DIFFERENT stories from same narrative themes ... Orphaned of a mother, Yona is princess and heir to Kingdom of Kouka’s throne, daughter of King Il, head of Clan of Heaven and single ruler, recognized like King by other clans leaders: Wind, Earth, Water and Fire. In reality, King Il is considered weak and cowardly, because of his hatred of weapons and his policy of no violence. Unlike her father, Yona is lively, restless and adventurous. Since childhood she has shared her time with Son Hak, now head of the Wind clan and her faithful bodyguard, nicknamed "Lightning beast" for his superhuman strength and speed and devastating power of his blows, and his cousin Soo-won, cheerful, kind and carefree son of Ju-Hon, brother of King Il and undefeated general of army to protect Kouka’s kingdom. Everyone believed Ju-Hon should have become King, but when his father chose Il as sovereign, Ju-Hon left castle, promising to continue to defend the Kingdom and his brother from afar. Five days before her sixteenth birthday, Yona receives Soo-won’s visit to castle, returned to participate in her celebrations. Yona is determined to confess her love to Soo-won, unaware Hak has loved her in silence for years. Yona faces two painful obstacles: Soo-won claims to consider her like a younger sister and he said he can’t see her as a woman while, without explaining reason to her, King Il declares he will NEVER give Yona allowed to marry Soo-won. He will never have to become King, which would happen if he married Yona. Meanwhile, Hak notices climate has changed in castle, but his premonition is too vague and Hak fails to focus on it. One evening Yona is chased by someone who sneaks into castle, but she’s rescued by Soo-won and intruder seems to disappear. On birthday, Soo-won gives Yona a beautiful and precious hair clip. Unable to sleep that same night, Yona goes to her father's rooms to inform him that she will never forget Soo-won but as soon as she opens door she sees a chilling scene: Soo-won puts a sword in King Il's heart, killing him in front in her eyes. Noticing her presence, Soo-won is surprised and disappointed Yona was still awake and explains to girl that he had killed King Il for revenge. For some time, in fact, Soo-won had discovered his father hadn’t died from an accident like everyone else, including Yona, knew, but he had been killed with sword, by King Il immediately after he ascended the throne. Soo-won also claims that after killing King II, to honor his father's wishes, he would become King. Yona doesn’t believe a word, but she hasn’t time to assimilate news, ‘cause Kye - Sook, intruder who had threatened her night before and Soo-won's aide, seeing Yona was witness to King Il assassination, advised Soo-won to kill her. Yona runs away, but Soo-won's guards manage to capture her. Fortunately, Hak arrives to save Yona. Thanks to Min-Soo, faithful servant, Hak and Yona manage to escape from castle. Soo-won unleashes soldiers on their tracks, with order to capture them, while he is crowned new King of Kouka, declaring he will crush anyone who will oppose him. Yona and Hak hide in Capital Fuuga, Hak's hometown. Here Yona takes decision to fight for her life and prevent Hak from dying. Having heard of girl's decision, Son Mundok, adoptive father of Hak and former General of Wind’s clan, in King Il’s service, sent Hak and Yona in search of Ik-Soo, a monk capable of listening and reporting God’s voice, in past adviser to King, then chased from castle. Learning of Yona's will to fight, Ik-Soo advises her and Hak to look for four dragons from which kingdom and its tribes were born. Four boys who were infused with blood and powers of Dragons who reigned in sky, destined to protect the Red Dragon with every means, as soon as this was reincarnated ... YONA: Soo-won kills King Il, Yona's father, breaking Yona's heart, who loves him and wants to marry him. Until that moment, boy is considered sweet, cheerful, kind, educates by everyone
