Hello, I think requests are open.
I saw the list of animes you write for.
What do you think Jaeha, Zeno and So-woon(Akatsuki no Yona) reaction to a S/O who's a goddess more ancient than the dragons and uses human form to travel for a long time yet lose her memories every century as protection mechanism she placed on herself as she keeps doing the mistake of holding mortals too dear then falling into grief whenever they die, now she's thinking of turning them to a fellow god(privilege that can given to a god's soulmate only) after they die and she's finally willing to go back to heaven and restore her full memories?
OH MY GODDESS!!
Synopsis: The reader is an ancient God who travels as a human, but every century loses her memory to protect themselves. Now, she's debating on turning her love interest into a god to return to heaven with her.
Note: I made this have any obsessive love because when most people meet a god(ess) they'll want to worship them in my opinion. Deities have that effect on people.
Pairing: Jae-ha x female! reader, Zeno x female! reader, Soo-Won x female! reader
WARNING(S): slight obsession, angst in Zeno's part
Links: AKATSUKI NO YONA MASTERLIST, NAVIGATION
JAE-HA
BEING THE WOMANIZER he is, Jae-ha has come across his fair share of pretty faces; but he didn't expect a goddess to be one of them. It was evident that you were from the heavens, blessed with ineffable amounts of beauty and an ambiance just as tempting. It was no surprise the man would look to pursue you.
It's decided; he shall join you in the afterlife. As your one and only, to bask in your beauty and grace until the sun touches the horizon. Somehow you managed to sweep the playboy off his feet in record-breaking time, although that's supposedly his job. It was almost embarrassing how fast he accepted your proposal, so much so that a deep red tinge can be seen dusting his cheeks. Never had he been so enamored with a woman, one way out of his league at that.
Now the memory aspect has piqued his interest. Relationships are precious, insightful even, so why would you want to forget them? Regardless, he respects your decision. Yet over time, Jae-Ha soon realizes he'd rather you lose all memories that don't include him. After all, he's a bit jealous of all the experiences you may have had with your past lovers, and he'd rather not have any more competition than needed.
“Oh my, I believe it's that time, isn't it? Let us go to the heavens above where we shall become one. Unfortunately, I don't think I can take the anticipation much longer darling.”
ZENO
A REAL LIFE GODDESS in the flesh? Woah, this must be his lucky day. Like with most things in life, Zeno is ecstatic. Through the many centuries he's lived, not once has he been graced with the presence of a deity such as yourself. Beautiful doesn't begin to describe the beauty that endowed you. It was as though he was looking a fairy tale princess right in the eyes. Various compliments spilled from his smiling lips faster than he could account for. If he was feeling even the slightest bit of shame you had not noticed.
This being your human form enticed him to dig up the real you. He would hate to k now you're hiding anything from him. You are not obligated to unveil what you desire not to, but he'd rather bask in as much of your authenticity as "humanely" possible. Zeno is quite jealous of your ability to forget about the past, and until he met you he wished to do the same. Maybe then would he be able to start all over again and experience life one step at a time with you sticking closely by his side.
Zeno's dragon grants him the gift of immortality so dying is out of the question. He has lived to see many dragons come and go, greeted by death and to god knows where. It saddens him that even with his new powers he won't be able to fulfill your wishes. In the end, Zeno's purpose is to serve Yona and no one else. But only one woman can make his heart beat so sporadically, rendering him speechless each time they meet eyes.
“It's a shame, y'know? I really wish I could go with you and keep you company. Hah—!? Don't cry; we'll figure something out, I'm sure of it!”
SO-WOON
SOMEONE SO POWERFUL should have never taken interest in him, but oh is he glad they did. A deity, from the heavens nonetheless, had come before him with curiosity at that. Just a short conversation with you proved how extensive your knowledge is. And from the sound of it, you were much older than many mythical beings of this time. So as one does, Soo-Won ponders ways to use that to his advantage, even if it meant deceiving you. However, that was before he put his plan into motion.
Soo-Won was destined to fall deeper and deeper into the alluring solace of the goddess he had merely hoped to use. Now, the man wished to undress her, uncovering every inch of her ravishing skin; so perfect and warm. He wished to taint her with his blooded hands so she could learn to love his true nature as he loved hers. He realizes his selfishness but he simply doesn't care. There shall be no lies between you two and he'll make sure of it.
He would long for nothing more than to be with you until his last breath, even if he does not deserve to. The sins he's committed should send him nowhere but the raging depths of hell. However, he will not lose you to those cocky bastards that resided above the clouds who were waiting to take his place. And he will never allow you to erase anything regarding your future, together for eternity.
“My beautiful goddess, where have you gone? I was worried sick; Hah...I'd thought those disposable fools had gotten to you. With your permission, I shall get rid of them in your stead.”

Soowon probably never considered himself a victim. Everyone thinks Soowon is the strong one and the perpetrator, including himself. Of course he is, but...This prevented him from recognizing or accepting his pain. So he is always stunned by his desire to die. How sad.
Indeed. Soo Won is traumatized by losing both his parents so young. He has never really grieved his father's death.
And basically by all that high expectations of all the people around him:
For Yu hon 's followers and Hak Soo won was a messiah.They were projecting all their desires and wishes on him completely disregarding him as a person.
I don´t think there was a chance for Soo Won to have kept King Il alive...at least not alone. This might´ve been the reason why @under-my-pillow seems to be upset as well. Neither Hak nor Yona consider their own faults...or to be fair, we can say that Yona at least realized much of her own privilege at the beginning and also does seem to understand Soo Won´s position even though she still harborts ill feelings towards him.
But Hak seems to not think properly about the situation or how can he still bring up that he "could have just married Yona". Besides the obvious reason that Hak is in love with Yona, King Il might have rather killed himself than letting Soo Won marry Yona.
Soo Won had been without any chance...at least alone...but it does not appear that Hak wished to contribute to solve this problem. He merely did mention that he trusts Soo Won´s intelligence...But if Soo Won can actually win against supernatural beings with just his brains`?

He considered that hurting Yona is one of the reasons why he will not be able to have a peaceful life. I'm sure he would've never thought this way if Il was the only victim of his coup. After all, like you said, he hated him, and Il was a bad king. I don't see Soowon claiming something as dramatic as "I will never have a happy life", if he just killed a delusional king who was driving the country to its doom while Yona was out of the picture.
It pains him, that he hurt her, but it doesn´t contradict, what I have said. Yona is an important person to him.
If he considers his deeds evil, of course he is hurting. After all, Soo Won is a kind person. He also doesn´t refer merely King Il´s murder, but all what he has done.
Soo Won has always had a moral compass. He still committed murder and had to be cold, when his natural inclination is different. Just because you don´t see a thing happening, doesn´t mean that it cannot be true, regardless.
It´s interesting that for some people it is hard to imagine, Soo Won being a naturally kind person.
Theory about the "Price to pay"
Spoilers 'till chapter 260
So we're finally at the point where Yona has to talk to the dragon gods herself. We knew this was bound to happen and it was honestly the most logical turn of events. What we don't know however is the price she'll have to pay to get such a wish fulfilled.
Two theories come to mind:
1/ The first and most popular one is that Yona will have to leave the mortal realm and return to heaven to be the Crimson dragon King again.
No need for the dragon warriors anymore, they'll simply lose their powers, and the gods can finally have Yona back like they always wanted, which could be the interpretation of the last line from the prophecy "And The Red Dragon Shall Return At Dawn".
This theory, although logical, is just too cruel. Akayona is not a tragedy, I can't imagine Kusanagi will end a story about found family, self growth and overcoming your trauma with the death of the main character. I desperately tried to find another suitable price that didn't envolve Yona sacrificing herself, which leads us to the second theory:
2/Yona gets to stay on earth, but all the people she knew forget about her. I know this might sound just as cruel if not more than the previous one💦, but please hear me out 'till the end!!!!
Yona had done much more to the country as a normal girl than a princess. She went to different tribes on foot, bonded with peasants, pretended to be a bandit, pirate, an entertainer... etc, and fought off traffickers and dealers without ever mentioning she was a princess. Yes those people she helped will probably forget about her, but she can return to them and help them while being herself again. She doesn't need recognition as "Princess Yona". She draws people no matter her title.
On the other, since she'll no longer possess warriors with divine powers, she won't be a target for greedy individuals or people from enemy nations, so the gods can rest assured about her safety.
Lastly, everyone forgetting about her means that the red dragon no longer exists on earth. It's like his memory left the mortal realm and ascended to heaven again "And The Red Dragon Shall Return At Dawn". This could be an interpretation of the prophecy. The red dragon won't literally return to heaven. It's his memory that will leave people's minds and return to be a property of the heaven.
Now, even though I said that everyone will forget about Yona, I'm sure there'll be one exception to this rule. Only one individual will never forget about Yona while everyone else will, and it's Hak. The first reason is obviously the romance that'll just get reset to zero if he forgets about her. I mean, knowing him he'll probably fall in love with her again, but it's like all their moments and all the development in their relationship will disappear and restart from zero which is something a lot of readers won't accept.
The second and most powerful reason (literally the reason that made me write this post) is that one scene from chapter 25 that everyone hated. Remember when Yona asked Hak to be the only one to call her "Princess"? Remember when she told him even if EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY FORGETS ABOUT HER, HE HAS TO BE THE ONLY ONE WHO REMEMBERS?
What if that scene was actually foreshadowing the ending of the series? That everyone will forget about who Yona was, and that he will be the only one to remember? Ofc I'm sure it won't be that easy. Hak will probably have to pass some kind of test to prove that he's worthy of remembering Yona, but I'm sure he'll succeed and the gods will begrudgingly yield to his request so Yona won't live a sad and lonely life after they cast their spell.
Ofc I'm aware this is still a cruel predicament. The family she fought so hard to save will forget about her, but she'll be able to start a new relationship with them. It'll prove that their bond was always genuine, that it had nothing to do with the dragons' blood, and I'm sure they'll love her as much as they loved her before.
The country also will forget about princess Yona. Her achievements will probably all be attributed to Soowon (but it's not like she cares about fame or recognition anyway).
Speaking of Soowon, it's kinda fucked up that he gets to forget the girl he hurt so much. He'll forget that he ever had a cousin, that it was her father he murdered that night, that she was the one who got the gods to heal the descendants from the Crimson illness...etc, It's unfair but we can't do much about it I guess.
What do you guys think about this theory? Would you be okay with it if it happened at the end?

Soowon saying he believes in Yonas divine power made me so frustrated. While I know that hes someone who is willing to take any opportunity if it benefits his kingdom, its sad that one of his core traits that is uplifting the power of humans over the gods is gone now. I used to find it really fascinating since when the protag of the story is dependent on divine privileges, he showed the courage to defy it. But I should have guessed that Kusanagi will never allow that. But the irony is it doesnt make yona look cool either. Now Soowon considers her important not because of she has the capability or whatsoever but for her godly power
I don´t think he does uplift the power of the gods over the human power...He does, however, play along with the given circumstances. Soo Won realizes that Yona is special among human beings and that she has the same goal as he has regarding the safety of the country of Kouka. However I got the impression that their ways might diverge at the end of the day...So it does seem that he has not given up his own agenda.
If that was really the case he would abandon his throne and would leave everything in Yona´s hands, but that would be suicide for Kouka.
Let´s be real: The whole idiocy of King Il´s grande plan did not fall through, because Soo Won was there sorting out the whole mess effectively. He knew that there would be little time until Soujin and Kai Empire would strike their attack and he was proven right.

Oooh!! You do Yona of the dawn? Man I love that Manga! it was one of the first I ever got into when I was a kid
Do you think I could request some General Yandere headcanons for Soo-Won?
SOO-WON
Two Faced, though he hides it pretty well. Seeing him smile in your face, scowling in others. But none if that aggression was ever pointed at you, if it was you couldn't recall a time. But the harsh orders he gives your acquaintances are truly undeniable.
This man is willing to commit more than a few sins for you. Lying, tealing, killing, you name it! All of it means nothing if it's for you. Nothing else matters as long as you smile at him the same.
Soo-Won essentially keeps you glued to his side. Not wanting the useless people around you to taint you, your lovely personality.
It's clear that he's willing to become a tyrant for you, to throw it all away to make you happy. But nothing comes without a price; exchanging your freedom for riches, living the rest of your days under his rules. Under his protection.
Soo-Won is very lucid. His actions are far from normal, his emotions are more than innocent. With his intelligence you'd expect him to notice such things, and he has. But perhaps his selfish need to feel such feelings has taken over. Only time will tell.
Caring, that's very clear. Soo-Won does on you quite a bit. Babying you and acting as your personal caretaker. This may be a blessing, a curse for others, but use this to your advantage if you will.
Possessive, Jealous — No. But overprotective and controlling — yes. There's no reason for Soo-Won to be jealous, after all only a fool would go after his beloved or make an effort to steal them.

You are underestimating Soowon and Yona shipper. They increased and Hakyona/Hak fans decreased. Even some Hakyona shipper wouldn't mind Hak dying so Yona can rule. My points still stand how the manga rejected their relationship the entire arc and that it won't change. Master/servant forever with no communication at all. Any guy would have been jealous. I think Yona would marry Soowon for Kouka. Hak's not a priority for her. Not when he was in jail. Not when he could be dead.
“2. Since Hak and Yona won't share much screentime until the end but Yona and Soowon will be glued to each other like the past 40 chapters it's more likely there will be development. Yona would choose Kouka over Hak and he'll gladly become their servant or her secret lover boy.”
How should I phrase it? I have never seen even one forum or platform that horded more Soo Won x Yona than Hak x Yona fans.
Then there is also the facts that Hak x Yona follows the predestined route of all shojo mangas. The typical cat and mouse fights at the beginning, the development, the fan service ect....
I have never seen it as a triangle...for me it has always been clear as glass that Yona and Hak will become a couple. I love Soo Won as a character, but Soo Won and Yona have never appeared to be a viable option as a cannon pair.
And honestly...it is better like this. I do honestly enjoy the dynamic between Soo Won and Yona more when I consider them siblings/relatives whose bond is broken due to fate and the decisions they have made. Then there is also the strange connection between Yona and Soo Won...Do you know that Soo Won´s attraction to Yona might be because he is literal the descendant of Hiryuu? He loves her red hair...In fact that was even the case, when he was a 2-3 year old brat...and that is disturbing for me...at least if I wish for a good couple. Yon hi had a strong reaction as well...
So no...I don´t think that this couple will ever become cannon.

I’ve had a lot to say about Soowon throughout the whole series. There’s a lot to criticize, to analyze, to speculate, and to really just dislike.
Which means that he is an interesting character and not some kind of one-dimensional villain.
I’m all for a character that cares about the greater good, that steps up to the plate are can carry the team. But Soowon also seems well...power hungry. For a man who preaches about the greater good, for the prosperity of his country and it’s people, but he wants to be at the top.
Given that he is part of the royal family and it was most likely the easiest way to achieve his aims, I don´t know how he should have acquired them otherwise. By starting a rebellion that would have cost several more lives?
If he had no ulterior motive, nothing in it for himself, he’d recognize everything that Yona has done. And in turn would see that she isn’t a poor fit for the throne NOW.
I don´t know what you mean with ulterior motives. Does taking revenge for the murder of his father count as such an “ulterior motive”? If so, he didn´t hide it.
And I think we could debate if a 16 year old girl that has hardly learnt anything that a ruler would need is the ideal solution.
Having someone as supported as Yona as an ally (or at least someone who won’t fight him for the throne) is GOOD. He’s literally destroying whatever faith she had left in him, and that’s no way to build an alliance.
Frankly, I am at a loss. What do you mean? When he killed her father or right now?
But what REALLY bothers me are his views. He can justify his father beheading the opposing party and throwing those heads over a border. He can sit back and treat the dragons as items, for his own gain.
A quality both Yona and Soo Won may share: That they are not able to look objectively at their father´s deeds. Yona doesn´t believe that her father was able to commit such a deed and she hasn´t tried to find out more about it up until now.
By the way we do know really hardly anything what really happened there.
As for the dragons: I remember that Keishuk was the one who suggested it and that Soo Won had hardly anything to do with it. So I guess you could rather criticize him that he doesn´t limit Keishuk´s influence.
Soowon has no problem treating others as less than human.
Oh. When and where? I must have missed the part where he mercilessly killed people for fun.
He claims to have no interest in the dragons, but I think that’s also an inferiority complex mixed in, that “he can do it without the dragons” because King Il had made sure to exclude him from the hidden room and made it clear that he could not compare to Yona. There’s a lot going on, but whatever respect I had for this character is dwindling down FAST.
Given from what was demonstrated, Soo Won really didn´t give them much thought before they appeared. This was most likely the case since he like most people believed that they didn´t exist.
Afterwards he tried to ignore them, also because he didn´t wanted to involve Yona. He had nearly nothing to do that the dragon warriors are here right now. Except for being a too great push-over regarding Keishuk.
You think that Soo Won wanted to see for himself that the dragon warriors are real is an evil quality? I don´t know but if I met a guy who is immortal, I might be interested too.
Though I agree that he might have been jealous. However, since this appeared so late in the story, we can conclude that this jealousy is merely a rather not so nice human quality, but not the all-defining motivation that has lead him here.
Oh and I am not sure, if I would believe everything that King Il said. It could be that quite the opposite is true.
And honestly, a complete transformation into a villain won´t simply happen. Not after so many chapters. Not after so many good developments. So I think I have to disappoint you here.
The chances are higher for the next sad story.
You know what...
I’ve had a lot to say about Soowon throughout the whole series. There’s a lot to criticize, to analyze, to speculate, and to really just dislike. I’m all for a character that cares about the greater good, that steps up to the plate are can carry the team. But Soowon also seems well...power hungry. For a man who preaches about the greater good, for the prosperity of his country and it’s people, but he wants to be at the top. If he had no ulterior motive, nothing in it for himself, he’d recognize everything that Yona has done. And in turn would see that she isn’t a poor fit for the throne NOW. Not be threatened by her. Having someone as supported as Yona as an ally (or at least someone who won’t fight him for the throne) is GOOD. He’s literally destroying whatever faith she had left in him, and that’s no way to build an alliance. But what REALLY bothers me are his views. He can justify his father beheading the opposing party and throwing those heads over a border. He can sit back and treat the dragons as items, for his own gain. Yes, they can pose a threat to his throne if they so choose, but if they’re backing Yona, who also only wants the kingdom to prosper, then what’s the issue? She hasn’t expressed any interest, and if he fears them so much, why ANGER THEM. Soowon has no problem treating others as less than human. He claims to have no interest in the dragons, but I think that’s also an inferiority complex mixed in, that “he can do it without the dragons” because King Il had made sure to exclude him from the hidden room and made it clear that he could not compare to Yona. There’s a lot going on, but whatever respect I had for this character is dwindling down FAST.

I think it's possible that Yona and Soowon end up on middle ground and marry to unite their kingdom. I find it suspicious Yona never said she won't marry him and nothing between Yona and Hak gets developped or tried to resolve at this point rather the opposite (Hak kneeling in front of her and Yona suddenly being shy). They won't get much screentime until the end, unlike Soowon and Yona who'll save the kingdom together. Take Hakyona's relationship out in this arc and nothing changes. Not to mention that in some situations she comes off as caring more about Soowon than about Hak (sleeping next to Soowon, leaving Hak in jail, demanding to be close to him yet not doing anything for Hak not even when he's missing, etc)
Don´t worry anon, if you are a Hak x Yona fan. The mangaka cannot afford it to lose the biggest fanbase and that are literally the fans of this couple.
Since the first chapter I knew that Yona and Hak become a couple. I just did not see it that Soo Won would kill KIng Il. So don´t worry. Your couple will come true.

Sorry for the long rant !
As much as I like reading this novel, I really hate going through the comments section of every chapter.
I mean, I understand that everyone can think whatever they want, but Akayona fandom is full of biased salty opinions against Soowon.
After this last chapter, I was eager to read others reactions after knowing the reality of the coward king but I was taken aback with the comments insulting Suwon calling him psycho, etc. What in the world? are were reading the same fiction ?
In this regards I want to point out to the hypocrisy of these people.
1- They have been urging Yona for long time to take revenge of SW and never forgiving him, overlooking all the crimes her father committed against his citizens (yes irresponsibility is a crime, destroying your country and people is a crime). Now that it was confirmed that the coward did kill his brother, they are calling SW blood thirsty and vengeful because he is continuing the revenge cycle and whatever, overlooking once again that he was the one calling out people not reacting out of emotions and giving the asshole a chance to live through proving his (inexistent) ruling skills.
2- Everyone was impressed how 13 yo Hak was stronger than 30 yo adults, but now that SW is portrayed as a child genius, they are suddenly shocked calling him a psycho. By this logic, what is Hak ? a monster? a killing machine? This is actually weird because firstly, SW is originally a crown prince, he must have been trained to take interest in politics, strategy, psychology, etc. Secondly, he is a child prodigy so nothing surprising about him being a genius and a masterful “actor”. Finally, this is a FICTION, does anyone believe there is a 16 yo girl, whose stares only are terrifying ? or that there are people able to predict fate? or there are legendary four dragons roaming in the world? And oh yeah, true he is a psycho, a normal person like me would have killed the roten king on the spot without waiting. He is a really nice psycho.
3- “Oh please enough flash-back, I miss HHB T_T”, if you miss them that much you´d better read Little Red Riding Hood of something else. The HHB adventures was an introductory phase of the characters and the story, we wouldn´t live there forever. We need to get into the main plot. And if the story is heading toward the end, I unfortunately don´t believe there is any HHB more.
4- Yu-hon ambitions of extending Kooka into a continent. Suddenly everyone is concerned about other countries and innocent people there, as if innocent citizens of Kooka haven´t been starving and loosing territories/ressources for years under Yona´s father. Oh yeah and this was actually a theory only, it was not even confirmed by anyone.
At last but not least, I myself can´t think of a better solution than what SW did. And I honestly think, he is a favorite character of the mangaka. So I believe, he will either die as a Hero or, most likely, will find a way to recover from his illness. In either ways I am in until there is no SW. Sorry for the rants. I needed it
Dear Aya,
hello! It seems that you are pretty upset due to the newest chapter. Or more precisley due to the reactions of many of its readers.
Well, we are all biased: Some like Soo Won and some people don´t. That would be no problem. However, I agree I consider many reactions a lil bit too extreme to the point that I wondered if I have read an entirely different chapter.
Actually, I was even a lil bit nervous to read the chapter, since so many people had such a negative impression of it. To my surprise, I did not see a mentally sick person, a psychopath or anything similar, but a character that was pressured as a child to take over a role that was still too heavy for him.
I mean, there is a reason, why the mangaka drew the small Soo Won with a too heavy crown on his head, don´t you agree?
Soo Won appears sad or lifeless and extremely tensed as if this big thing on his head would weigh him down.
As if he was - just like Yona - a victim of circumstances he had barely control over.
It is even sadder, that 10 years of time, where he was pressured to prepare himself for this role, was not convincing for so many people.
I mean Soo Won is not ordinary, but people like him did exist. Like Alexander The Great or Cesare Borgia. No, they behave as if he was “perfect” or completely cruel…or sick…as if the previous 195 chapters did not exist. As if Yona had not lectured him (even though she has nearly no knowledge about diplomacy or politics, but apparently that is not needed here.)
And doesn´t Soo Won wonderfully fit into the group of extraordinary people? Like Hak who is most likely the strongest guy in Akatsuki no Yona and I still hope that we will get to know the reason for that feature. Besides the heroine is literally the reincarnation of a dragon god that was the first king, including 4 extremely strong guys, called the dragon warriors.
I am pretty much convinced that the mangaka won´t completely throw him out of the window - just like you.
Kusanagi-sensei put so much thought into him, that I cannot imagine it. The change of his expressions, where she paints the nuance into his character…It is always there…
I really like his character. He does not have to be an all good character…His fears, insecurities, his hate and love, his compassion his strength and weakness are all there and make him feel so real like hardly any character I know…

Does a disease that has been incurable for thousands of years sound terrible? When Yona and his team just learned this secret, they could suddenly take the senjuu plant and treat it. How easy it is to solve this problem. Is it a miracle or it comes from God Mercy? In my opinion, this is ironic. They tried to hide the secret and Soowon struggled to live. But is it really important? It's just a small thing for Yona and the others.
“as we all expected they are going to get senjuso and instead of sending Yona it's Hak who is going wtf Is this Kusa's way of saying she will lead the war? I want SW to get better but if senjuso somehow cures him it will be another big WTF moment because his disease is supernatural it shouldn't be cured with medecine or are we going to learn that Hiryuu brought it from heaven?”
Many diseases were incurable before we found a cure. That is not the thing that makes my head ache...rather that it is so simple...Like of course it is the strange senjuu plant that Yona and co knows...Soo Won and Mei have to take it and everything is fine. Boom. Problem solved.
As for the part with the supernatural disease...Well...we do not know the conditions so theoretically it may be still possible to at least prevent the death of the people involved.
Just that this issue was dragged so long along the way, that it is hilarious. I do think we know since at least 4-5 chapters if not more that Yoon considers the senjuu plant.
Why the heck does Hak go...I don´t know...so that he is not part of the war, I guess...It is a great move to send the strongest warrior away when an upcoming war is just ready to happen any day...

It s still a less grave crime in King Il s eyes to terrorize his daughter like Tae Jun did in the past, then a 10 year old boy entering a mausoleum.
Or even putting his daughter in danger. Neither Hak nor Soo Won were granted a scolding of King Il, when Yona was abducted.
And he wasn t against Yona being with Soo Won. The boy was just not allowed to enter the mausoleum.
He was not worried for Yona. He was mad at Soo Won and Yona tells us that her father rarely gets mad...That is one reason why I personally think that his belief is fanatic.
Besides...he obviously rather prayed than actually done anything against the difficulties and problems arising in his country.
This was the old world and believing in prophecy was… natural.
So natural that people didn t believe in the Dragon Warriors even when they saw them for the first time. They had this huge hand before their eyes, but still doubted it. No I don t think that it was an absolute common trait in Kouka.
but he wasn’t shouting, and he wasn’t being cruel. Soowon had no business there anyway.
Then it would have been no harm let the boy enter. This was clearly an overreaction.
Well here is the thing… there’s nothing that indicates that King Il is a religious fanatic. Certainly, he was a religious man… But it’s really not fanatical because gods and prophecy are very real in their world.
Praying during new year isn’t anything extreme. Yona being the new King is only part of a prophecy, which King Il believed in. This was the old world and believing in prophecy was… natural.
And yes he looked really scary when he stopped Soowon from entering the Mausoleum… but he wasn’t shouting, and he wasn’t being cruel. Soowon had no business there anyway. (Though the poor boy must have been terrified…) He definitely knew something we don’t. But his actions weren’t extreme.
Look, as far as we know for now… King Il hasn’t killed anyone for the prophecy (Yuhon tbd), he hasn’t passed any ridiculous religious law. He’s not a fanatic.

Just read recent chapter and hate it lol. Can i kidnap soowon and move him to other manga this manga dont deserve him. Imagine having a mom as shitty as yonhi
Oh, anon, I agree. You don´t need to search for enemies, if you have a mother like Yon hi who sells you out to the person that killed her husband and your father....
I mean she even apologizes to King Il several times...to the murderer of her husband...Did she not love Yu hon even one bit? Was he merely there to protect her? With the cruel murder of Yu hon who was pushed down the cliff...wouldn´t that end the cycle?
So why is she so completely ashamed and not even one bit angry...She writes to the murderer of her husband...the person that hates her only child...
Somehow King Il and Yona are more important than anybody else, even her own child ( and people complain that Soo Won is always so careful to not show too much vunerability...I mean he was backstabbed by two people...His mother and his uncle)
The most bizarre thing in this situation...It feels a little like another reality....
Yon hi realizes that she betrays Soo Won...
It is a little like her need that King Il “forgives her” is more important than the security of her son...Heck...King Il could have killed her child...but his mother just didn´t care...Like her sentence” You must entertain that question yourself at this point.” = “So what it´s not my problem anymore.”
It is also nice, that she thinks she has now understood what kind of character he is...She!!! The person who was completely alright when he she could utilise him for her own selfish consolation, while he was only 9 years old and has lost his father.
It is really nice that she mourns all the missed occasions to talk while she is completely and utterly missing the current opportunity! Soo Won is still alive! He is still her son! Hello?
The most hilarious thing is the next part...
You surely contribute to it by sending the murderer of your husband this book who was so forgiving as to throw his own brother who did not defend himself down a cliff!
Why did she think that a person so unforgiving is somhow better suited to have this book than her own son, who would need maybe a little guidance? Or consolation when he becomes an orphan at age 10?
And it is surely easy to give up before even trying...”My voice will find no echo in Soo Won”...You have not even tried, lady!!!!
It is nice that she pushes the issue to King Il and he - of course- prefers to be passive again and does not wish “to reconciliate”...
To sum it up...Yon hi never tried, she always complaint about that feature of herself , but never changed her way, never opened her mouth to try and infuence the circumstances here and now...
She even fails when the opportunity is right there !
( And Yona is even more important to Soo Won´s own mother than her own child! That is the joke that is so hard to comprehend...This chapter honestly feels like a very bad joke...)

What are the things you like/dislike about soowon
I start with this the “dislike” first, since there are far fewer points:
1. The >>Crimson Illness<<
I think it is a convenient way to get rid of Soo Won...I mean how troubling would it have been if Yona and Hak had to really come to terms with Soo Won? And not to say, that there were pretty much no symptoms present. So yes...that he is supposed to literally die at such a young age...man!
2. The relationship between Yona and Soo Won
I do like their relationship,
since Yona and Soo Won both are compared to each other and not due to their different sexes!
since it is a pretty complicated relationship that changed over time...
First Yona was in love with him, then she fears him, then she hates him, then she realizes his reasons and understands him partly, but she cannot fogive him, yet she cannot forget his kindness...This is truly beautiful!
And Soo Won...he cares for her like a “mother”, but also wished for her warmth..He took care for her in the past, yet simultaneously, he is being taken care for...
Neither of the three realize how much they still mean for each other!
What I don´t like is that this relationship is rather sidelined...Hak and Soo Won´s relationship is more prominent up until now...
Things that I do like about him...Boy! Too much to mention, so I will only address the most important points...
1. Soo Won as an antagonist
Soo Won is not a typical villain who thinks it is so funny to be evil or who only thinks about himself, yet he is able to realize that there are consequences of his deeds that he has to accept...
Soo Won is clearly portrayed to react to his circumstances and I do think that some of his features can be easily explained by his past.
2. Soo Won possesses a wide range of relationships with all the different characters...(I mean I like the relationship between the 3 mains the most!)
Of course this is only a part of these various relationships...
3. Soo Won demonstrates many opposing features and I do consider this especially human and it is exciting to read about him...
Soo Won is a kind person at heart, but chose to be ruthless (He more or less had to surpress the kind part of himself
(Honestly I do wonder if not the relationship of his parents are a reason for that feature of himself...
He pretends to be silly and foolish...though I do think that he partly is such a person, but it also is a cover he uses to trick his enemies and potential followers...
This and that picture below are actually only one shot apart...
He loves people, but still keeps his distance...
4. Soo Won is more or less the person that drives the story forward...
Soo Won has a clear aim in mind that illustrate his past experiences...
His father used to be the protector of his country...and in order to do that, he committed horrible deeds
...Now his father was murdered by his uncle who put the country in danger...
So Soo Won whose sole existence as his mother´s son is a reason for the difficulties between his uncle and his father. Soo Won hates King Hiryuu and the curse he has placed upon his descendants....
Therefore it is really understandable that he truly favors the deeds of human beings and wants to have nothing to do with King Hiryuu...
But his aim or his plan are also the trigger for Yona´s journey and her decision to find the dragon warriors...(Also he really fulfills his plan...Yona often get involved with certain stages of it)....But that is the funny part...since Soo Won actually fears that development...
5. I love Soo Won´s weaknesses and insecurities...
Soo Won is pretty capable and somtimes he is even able to use his own weaknesses and turn it into a strength...like with his appearance and that his enemies often underestimate him...
But I also love that he cannot completely abandon neither Yona nor Hak...
That he adores his father extremely, yet I do think he is pretty much aware of his father´s shortcomings...Or how would you explain that face?
If Soo Won was completely sure that it is completely wrong and nothing could be said against his father, he would have not a face like this...(Though I still do think it would be funny if his cruelty was the reason, since I cannot remember a person that didn´t become king, because he was cruel to his enemies...However,..I do think his relationship with his mother and probably Soo Won were Yu hon´s weaknesses and that may be a reason, why he looks like this).
6. I love his stupid faces

How do you think Soowon feels about II, do you think there was ever a time where he loved him, I remember that I read in the akatsuki no yona Novell, that he mentioned something about the fact that he never got any steamed buns from II and hak always did, he seemed to have complicated feelings towards II, how would you describe his feelings towards him throughout his life( when he was a child, and as he was growing up)
In fact, Soo Won did. When he was a child.
Dear anon, we do not know, what exactly Soo Won felt, since we barely know something about their relationship.
But I try...
In his childhood Soo Won seemed to like his uncle. We hear him say no negative things. Soo Won merely associates positive things with his uncle or even defends him (however also partly for Yona´s sake.)
Look how happy he is about the good relationship between King Il and his daughter...
I guess that their relationship changed after the death of Yu hon...
I do think that this scene happened after Yu hon´s death since Yona´s hair is longer than in chapter 60 and 61 and this event happened directly before the death of Yu hon.
I do think this reaction is too forceful and unkind to a child that has just lost his father...(But that is merely my interpretation...)
However Soo Won seemed to have already planned to kill King Il, when he was 12 years old...
Soo Won already was aware of the relationship between Kai Empire and Kouka and the potential threat. He started to talk to Geuntae about it...It appears harmless, but I do think that it was all part of his goal to search for comrades, fellows.
A habit he also demonstrates later...
what is a fact is...that Soo Won was forbidden by King Il to take part in tournaments for example...even though far younger children of other tribes were able to participate.
When Soo Won is 18 years old, directly before the coup, both King Il and Soo Won pretend to be friendly towards each other...
However, one week before the coup, Soo Won actually rebelled against King Il´s wishes...just like the announcement of the later coup...
Honestly...we still don´t know if the nightmare of Soo Won was actually a memory or Soo Won´s own guilty conscience making up some things...
But we do know at least a couple of things about it...
First...King Il was the one, who told Soo Won about Yona being the reincarnation...
There is actually an interesting thing regarding this translation...Here it says “reincarnation of King Hiryuu”, which is pretty neutral...however the other version in later chapters says...
“the crimson dragon king´s avatar” as if Yona was merely a vessel for King Il...which was a little disturbing for me...If not for the previous chapter with Yon hi, where he also related to Yon hi as if she was an object...I would not have bothered...
In that context, it is very interesting how he refused the marriage between Soo Won and Yona...
“I cannot give Soo Won to you”...As if he was an object...Ironically KIng Il had explained how many things he had given her before...as if Soo Won was merely one of them...
So does King Il consider both Soo Won and even his own daughter merely objects or heavenly “chunk”, in Yona´s case a vessel ?
Let´s continue...Second we can also notice that Soo Won did not wish for Yona being the reincarnation, but not because he would be simply jealous, but because this person is the worst for Soo Won...
Third, however, for King Il it was really important that Yona was the reincarnation and seeing that he proudly told Soo Won about it, it seems as if it had not changed.
Look at the picture of the 30 year old Il, thinking that Yu hon “too, desired the king” and indirectly he admits therefore, that he craved for the “Red Dragon King”.
So here we have one thing that must have fueled Soo Won´s hate apart from the murder of Yu hon...
Then we leave the “facts”....
1. In Soo Won´s nightmare, we hear King Il declare that Yona will kill him (and therefore take revenge...)
2. We also see that King Il has already expected Soo Won...So it was no surprise to him that his nephew wished to kill him. He did not wonder why...which could be a proof that
a)he really killed his brother
b) or that he had the wrong image in the head since Soo Won was the heir of King Hiryuu, he would try to take the throne or
c) he kept a close watch on Soo Won´s activies and wished to play a martyr.
I think with King Il´s strange perception of King Hiryuu that naturally clashed with Soo Won´s, with the murder of Yu hon and most likely also King Il´s treatment of Soo Won...we have at least a possible explanation for Soo Won´s hate towards King Il
I hope I could help anon!

I think the only ships/romantic relationships that I like very much are SooWon/Lily , Zeno/Kaya. and Geuntae/Yunho.
I think they re relationships are very adorable or in Soo Won and Lily s case really funny.
I often dislike or at least don t like the main pairing so much. Don t know why exactly. That used to be pretty frustrating in the past.
Though Hak and Yona are quite cute too. I didn t like it that Hak was too fixated on Yona. He had pretty much no real objectives, life goals or opinions that didn t concern Yona...I was happy when that got better and he started to relate to other people beside Yona.
I love their dynamic as friends, I just don’t have interest in the ship for some reason, it’s really strange. Also, I once shipped a pair that never had any interaction or anything in common because I just thought they looked good together so i mean XD @freewilllife

hi, i am worried about a possible development: if suwon will ask yona to marry him in the future (for the good of the country or because of possible 'feelings') reason is because i find it strange that in the japanese when geuntae asks him about whether the marriage between him and yona is true he says "I can't say anything about that yet" which neither confirm nor deny it, but he denies instantly with lili. the english version does not appear to have put this nuance. (1)
When lili asks suwon about marriage she thinks that he might actually be looking for a "more suitable candidate". Seeing them sitting together on thrones caused the populace to start rumoring which i don't see going away until some official announcement is made that yona is with hak. geuntae himself said that it's good for the country but lili is the only one who appears scared that it will happen and thinks that yona should be happy. (2)
What I fear is suwon will be cured by the senjuso with the help of yun, and after sorting things out with yona and dragons learns to acknowledge gods are good for the country and begin thinking it's for the best of the country that she and the dragons stays in hiryuu castle and they marry. yona will be against that because she loves hak, which soowon may or may not know. i'm scared that if it's not for the country, soowon will still propose because he doesn't want yona to be with hak (3)
i apologize if this is very left field, i just find it very strange that he didn't actually deny it when geuntae asked and lili's thoughts. i'm scared because i don't want suwon to think of proposing to yona after what happened even if he gets over his hatred for god. it would be outrageous and also scary if he thought everything could just return to how it used to be. also so many would start to hate on him and he would really be seen as a psycho. would really like to know your thoughts (4)
Dear anon, I can even name several reasons, why Soo Won and Yona definitely won´t marry, nor that Soo Won would try to force Yona to marry him...
1. This guy actually accepted it the first time, when it was still a lie...that Yona and Hak would marry. He congratulated them and was far more troubled, when he found out, that the person she was in love with was actually him!
2. It is shown several times, that he feels guilty regarding Yona and Hak...
And he even proposed to Yona that she can kill him after he had fulfilled his task...
Soo Won clearly recognized here, that it is natural that Yona wishes to kill him...
Why do you believe he will just pretend that nothing happened? Sorry anon, but Soo Won is not that delusioned to think that Hak and Yona will just forget what has happened...
3. The mangaka would lose readers if she committed something like this.
a) Yona and Hak are the main couple and Kusanagi-sensei surely knows it!
b) the relationship between the three people is a big selling point as well and it would like you have said rather disgust people.
4. Up until now Soo Won is still ill and we cannot be sure, if she doesn´t let him die in order to get rid of him...( of course with much tears..ect..)
5. The dragon warriors would stop to exist as well...or rather their powers would vanish, since Yona won´t let her friends die early or Zeno suffer forever...
So don´t worry, it won´t happen!
