SUHAK latest confrontation

I believe, from Hak’s reaction here (chapter 243), that he never truly moved on.

He says he will forget his vow to Suwon now, like he never did, until this very moment.

Now he says “there is no going back”.

He was waiting for an occasion to hear an explanation from Suwon but he never got the chance to talk to him before.

He was somehow hanging on the possibility that things could be solved, that things could return to the way he imagined them to be when they were all still happily living at the castle.

And now he is realizing it's not possible, it never was.

He is realizing he needs to let go of that hope that kept him going on until now.

And it hurts.

There is so much emotion coming from Hak in this interaction. He’s mad on SooWon’s behalf because the man is both sick and injured yet insisted on wearing heavy armor. He’s uncomfortable that he cares this much about SooWon so he hides his face to try and distance himself. Hak isn’t very good at being honest about how he feels and can’t bring himself to actually chastise SooWon for pushing himself, but he also can’t stop himself from doing something when someone he cares for is in pain. This results in Hak awkwardly blurting out an order to someone he’s always been aware of as having a higher status than him - this also means he views them more as equals now, in a way he wasn’t able to before.

And then there’s SooWon. He accepts Hak’s direction without any pushback, when with everyone else he’s been stubborn in fulfilling his duty to the extreme. I think it’s because he knows Hak isn’t preventing him from continuing but rather accommodating him so that he can keep going. The armor is symbolic of their vulnerability, and the fact that not only does Hak assist him in removing it without hesitation or gripe but also that SooWon actually reached out for help is such a beautiful moment for these two. Hak is allowed a physical action as a display of his care so he can more easily segue into an emotionally sensitive conversation (words are hard, people), and SooWon opens the door for collaboration by taking the first step in accepting his weakness and asking for help.

I challenge you to show this panel to the not-Akayona readers and ask them what kind of manga is this.

[deqiha]

Yona fans who go like "I will never forgive Soowon" are so silly in my eyes, tbh, I'd even say they're a bit cringe. Acting as if Soowon committed a crime against them personally (I say we give him a prize for getting rid of a shitty king).

I'm sorry for Yona and Hak, but I am even more sorry for Kouka's people who had had King Il as their ruler.

Spoiler warning ‼️

“His wound has reopened”

Perfect timing. Will come in handy when he needs to drip his blood on the medallion.

[starnovana]

GUYS. Suwon has hiryuu's blood. But yona is his reincarnation only, she doesn't have his blood.

That means if suwon is about to go where yona is, there is this big possibility he is the one who will sacrifice for hiryuu's blood to return from earth, and to end the curse

Hak and Soowon's relationship is so important to me. The yearning , the angst , the betrayal yet the way they still care so much about each other even when they deny that. Hak and Soowon both play a major part in each other's life. They are both each other's goals and they influence each other's thoughts and actions so much. They cannot get each other out of their heads no matter how much they try to.

[matcha-chai-latte]

My reasons why I think Soo-won is not going to die:

1. He is not an ordinary person, I have a feeling he’s somehow connected to the prophecy.

2. The parallel between him and Zeno: Soo-won wants to live but is dying and Zeno wants to die but is immortal. It is the main paradox of the story and a tragic unfairness that has to be solved. As Zeno will probably die at the end, I don’t see Soo-won dying as well, it would make no sense from the point of their parallel.

3. The theme of revenge and forgiveness in the narrative (not exactly a reason but my opinion).

The cycle of revenge is a major topic of the story. And Yona does not want to take revenge on Soo-won. Neither does Hak, at least not anymore. Which means that they partially accept and forgive him. Even though I think nothing will be like it was, I still expect a talk between the three of them to clarify everything and put an end to past omissions.

Throughout the story it was shown how the offended party killed their offenders or avenged their loved ones to restore “justice”. And it was also emphasised that the death of their “offenders” never brought them happiness, but sorrow, more revenge and more deaths.

So what I’m trying to say here is that I don’t think that the death of Soo-won, the offender of Yona and Hak, and their further life without him is something that would appropriately close the topic of revenge once and for all, and is not what the author would like to convey to us. After all, if he dies, any revenge is unnecessary and simply impossible, there can be no talk of any “forgiveness” or any kind of further relations if he dies. Then what is the point of Yona and Hak changing their opinion about Soo-won, what is the point of them trying to understand him if he ends up dying? And what is the point of Soo-won reconsidering his own beliefs? As for me, the most mature and profound ending would be showing us how their future lives and relationships would develop if he remained alive.

In addition, after they had families and children, how would the relationships and destinies of their children develop, how would they raise them? Because this whole situation would really be a mirror of the stories of Il with Kashi and Yuhon with Yong-hi. All of them made the wrong choices and raised their children incorrectly, and this resulted in terrible consequences for them and broken destinies for their own children.

This is why I think that the three of them living on and trying to build a new kind of relationship without their past grudges would be the best ending.

4. Also I’m curious about the formation of the relationship between him and Lili. It was highlighted and built-up for a reason, as nothing in this manga happens without a cause, so I guess it will reappear again. And I’m not talking about romance, could also be platonic, but I think it’s quite relevant. But if Soo-won dies at the end, then what was the reason for it?

5. Many other unresolved conversations and mysteries concerning Soo-won. Plus, building him up as such a tragic character to kill him off would be beyond cruel. We already have Zeno to cry about.
