Hana to Yume Issue 13 (6/5) cover ft. Hak, Yona and Suwon

[mii-ruby]

Dear kind reader,

I am a father of three children, writing this message from Gaza, where every day feels like a nightmare.

My little ones are starving. Their eyes search for food I don’t have. Their tiny hands hold onto me in hunger and fear.

We have no food, no clean water, and no help. My heart is breaking with every passing hour.

🍞💔 Even $1 could buy a piece of bread. Even a single share of this message could reach someone who can help.

Please, don’t look away. I’m not asking for much — just the chance to keep my children alive.

👉Please donate — help me feed my children

Here, is your thirst for seeing Yona getting slapped satisfied now? Not a single grown man around to swoop in to shield her. In fact, to this day Hak and the dragons are blissfully unaware that Yona got slapped twice.

Rooting for another woman to get hurt just because your favorite got an unfair slap? Truly the pinnacle of feminism.

I have a TERRIBLE time in life and what is my go-to coping mechanism? You guessed it. I apologise if I annoy anyone with how much I'm talking about Akayona lately... But this fandom is chibi tiny one post a month so maybe the more I preach the better...

I love Lili + Yona just as much as Lili + Suwon. Look at them!

Iconic

Even more iconic

And that? Sacrificing your LIFE for your bestie? With no hesitation whatsoever? The most iconic

THEY'RE SO PRECIOUS

I CRIED HERE. EVERY SINGLE TIME

Theory: Are there two swords?

We first have the sword that Zeno found inside Hiryuu's coffin, and that is currently being used by Soowon, but there's also the one Yona received in the gods' realm which she immediately threw away. Could they be one and the same?

It seems unlikely the gods would bother to return it to earth after Yona rejected it, but at the same time, isn't Hiryuu supposed to have had only one sword? We know the one Soowon carries is genuine, as it succeeded in piercing the divine barrier surrounding Hiryuu. However, the one given to Yona was also explicitly identified as Hiryuu’s sword by the Blue Dragon god.

Moreover, she was instructed to use it to kill Zeno. Surely, that must mean it has to be authentic as well, which suggests the gods can make several copies of the same sword, each having the same devine power.

In this case, I am really intrigued by the possibility of Yona using the sword she threw away earlier. It should still be somewhere in the blood sea, and with the gods currently outside the chalice, she would have greater freedom to seek it out and figure out a helpful way of using it.

So in the end, far from having figured out the sword and shield's identities, we find ourselves with two swords in play. On top of that, we have the gods explicitly referring to Hak as Yona's shield, a role he’s filled from the very beginning, but in the same chapter we have Zeno, the eternal shield, standing at Soowon's side, protecting him while he wields the sword.

Two swords, two shields, and no King in sight!

I cannot stress enough how much Kusanagi has been cooking with the latest opening pages. Like, wow!

[mii-ruby]

first of all, since you are very focused on me making my choices and getting personal using the words 'rich coming from', and by doing that making weak claims in your argument, this is ridiculous.

Is it shocking that I would point out your obvious bias after you accused me of sugarcoating things because of mine? It is suddenly a "weak argument" when directed at you, but perfectly acceptable when you apply it to others? Fascinating logic. In any case, if being called out feels unfair, perhaps it would be wise to not start with personal accusations in the first place.

IF you have points of argument, bring it to the table instead of being attacking personally. I talked about your narrative rather than talking about you and question your choices.

I have already answered most of your points in my other reblog, but you decided to ignore it for some reason.

Anyone can like any character. Did I ask why you like yona?

I didn't question why you loved Soowon either, I merely pointed it out

‎Yes it is. That's not how making an argument works. You need to chose a side in your debate.

I said that Yona was temporarily retreating because she wants to take the dragons to safety and because she got overwhelmed by the situation. What sides are there to take her?

What bothers me here is, after making use of Soowon's character's intellect to get all bordering countries as a Vassal nation, yona will get a ready made store bought state of kingdom to rule. That is if she rules. I would have absolutely loved it  if she had been shown to be involved in these political games in another light. BUt that's my opinion.

So you're basically dissatisfied with the way the dynamic of governance works? Let me tell you something: A ruler that is wise and capable should strive to leave the country stronger for their successor. A competent king does not envy the ease he affords his heir, but does his best so that the next reign can focus on prosperity rather than survival. I don't think you would've minded it if Soowon's heir happened to be his son, your issue is that it's Yona who's inheriting the "fruit of Soowon's work". Even though in reality many of Soowon's achievements would not have been possible without Yona’s own actions. It's ironic that you bring up Xing kingdom as an example. It was certainly not Soowon's "intellect" that secured Kouka such a vital ally, but Yona’s compassion and tireless efforts to bridge the gap between Kouren and Soowon. The same can be said of this final war against Kai, where Soowon himself admits he was saved by the very people he discarded. Only his fans refuse to see this reality.

‎I don't know what is making you happy at your own statement. But let me brief this point in case for you a bit. what yona in her travel did, was no doubt an act of kindness. But it didnt even scratch the real cause of situations at the surface. sei and water tribe arc was best IMO. Im saying state level taken by government to resolve an issue even IRL is way massive and different than an activist/ NGO doing it by so many ways. We were just not shown the effects of Soowon's actions taken for the country because the story us being told from yona's narrative. It will accentuate and highlight her action and their reactions.

Once again you're making it into a competition between Yona and Soowon. I merely stated that it was normal for people to be grateful to Yona for her direct help. Even irl activists tend to be more popular with the people than actual governors, precisely because they are seen personally engaging with communities and addressing their needs face to face. Their actions are immediate and visible, whereas the work of a ruler (implementing reforms and setting long term policies) often takes time to bear fruit and is not always perceptible at the individual level. It is only natural that people more readily recognize and respond to what they can directly witness.

‎I literally *rolled my eyes* here at the childishness. You added that emoji like you made a really good point or did a prank and is happy about it all on your own.Sure i guess whatever makes you happy.

After reading your different replies and seeing how you "blah" me and call my posts April fool jokes, I thought I'd step to your level and see. Are you dissatisfied?

Yona did nothing wrong (chapter 267)

Given that we're getting the next chapter soon, I wanted to comment on this matter a last time. Akatsuki no Yona is not a fatalistic story. It showed us that things could be changed to the better through hard work. That's why, this story will never promote the idea that one should surrender to their abusers and accept their fate for the greater good. Because yes, the dragon gods are abusers: they're akin to the toxic controlling partner (or parent) who gaslights you and claims to know what's better for you, who claims their unreasonable behaviour is justified in the name of love, that it is your fault for not appreciating it, and that everything bad that happens, will be because you didn't listen to them.

Neither Yona nor Hiryuu are selfish, foolish or evil for seeking to escape a toxic environment. It is never the victim's fault for rejecting their abuser. And whatever natural disasters befall the innocent people in Kouka will be because the gods chose to unlish destruction with their own hands, not because Yona refused to yield to their suffocating love and oppression.

In fact, Yona's defiance isn't only morally justified, but also logically sound for several reasons:

1- the gods have proven themselves to be untrustworthy, by attempting to kill the very people they promised to turn human and send back to earth, leading to their current descent to madness from repetitive contract breaking. If Yona had trusted them and they later went back on their word, she'd be called dumb and naïve instead.

2- The contracts they're imposing are one sided and self serving. A contract should allow both parties to put their own terms and conditions, yet Yona is denied this right. They're desperate to regain their strength, and once that happens nothing will stop them from breaking a contract or two. Ooryuu confirms that they'll keep imposing increasingly absurd conditions, but Yona is expected to comply with these absurdities?

3- The gods had already started withdrawing their "devine protection" the moment Yona entered the chalice. They were already planning to abandon humanity all together. Their protection of humans so far was only linked to Yona's well-being, that's why, if anything, Yona returning to earth would actually coerce them into maintaining their devine protection out of fear for her safety.

4- by returning to earth, Yona isn't severing all ties with the gods. She can go back to heaven and negotiate a contract whenever she wants thanks to the chalice and a drop of her own blood. Far from "abandoning" her people to certain death, she's giving herself the opportunity to assess the situation firsthand. Is this "devine protection" really necessary? Would its absence really affect the country in an irreversible way? Can't the people actually work through this crisis hand in hand and overcome it? After all, nothing guarantees the images shown by the gods are real, or much absolute. Yona has already defied fate: saving Hak from Zeno's attack, and seeking out the dragon worriers to prevent his death, proving that nothing is set in stone, and that you can change the future through analysing the current situation to decide on the best course of action

5- Kouka isn't facing "immediate" destruction. The sun didn't disappear, it merely got veiled by clouds, much like in winter. People are able to walk down the streets without using torches or candles. While Photosynthesis may decrease, crops will not wither overnight. Kouka also ought to have its own food reserves for similar crises. It also now posses several vassal states that could help providing food and housing for the most affected areas.  This leaves enough time to evaluate the situation and decide on the best conduct to adopt

6- The fundamental problem remains that the gods are apathetic to humans. They're unable to relate to them, and often minimise their suffering. Yona's return to heavens won't be more than a fleeting remedy to a lasting problem. As the protagonist of the story and Hiryuu's reincarnation, Yona ought to treat the problem at its root and find a way to bridge the gap between gods and humans, eventually making a contract that cannot be broken. Can this be achieved through surrendering yourself to vicious fickle beings? What was Akatsuki no Yona about all along? Was it a story praising self sacrifice and martyrdom as the absolute form of strength, selflessness and generosity? Or was it a story about struggling through the mud, relying on your actions, efforts and choices to shape your outcome? About challenging injustice, resisting fate and finding alternative paths? Which of these best describe Yona's actions in this chapter? Think about it, and find your answer.

[mii-ruby]

This is like polishing up and sugar coating her mistakes and trying so hard to not make her look bad. (Just because she is your bias)

I'm sorry but that's rich coming from someone who's clearly biased by Soowon and abhors Yona

That she is. And this is what negates your own claim prior to this one.

It doesn't. Both can be true at the same time

Besides, her helping villages didnt really cured anything in particular. She just got a fan base, that seem to be more like a purpose here. Soowon did the real work of cleaning up her father's mess. Like, please, without her 'helping', did the poor people had no one? Oh no... She is the only savior... The messiah.

Hate to break it to you but usually when you're kind and helpful, surprise surprise, people tend to be...... grateful! Calling that a ‘fanbase’ is honestly hilarious, like you really imagined them lining up for selfies and autographs huh? Does their gratitude towards her constitue such a threat to your beloved Soowon's reign🤭?

Yona started out as person who we can relate to and she was growing. But in the end she evolved into someone no different then what we call "femme fatale" hidden under the guise of strong female lead with sword and bow who barely knows basic defense.

Whatever helps you sleep at night I guess🤷‍♀️

Isn't that what yona did to zeno. Deciding what's best for him? But its justifiable for her to decide for him because he is ending his life. Wouldn't dragons say the same if yona tried to end her life.

Rather than deciding for him, Yona was ensuring Zeno actually had more options. She doesn't want pain to be the only thing factoring into his decision. If after becoming mortal he still wished to die, it would at least be a clear and unclouded choice. Listening to a friend in despair and refusing to assist them in self destruction isn’t patronizing, it’s protecting them until they are in a better place to make a better judgement. How is that remotely similar to what the gods did?

I'm sorry...since when had yona or hiyruu ever been abused? Its the poor dragon warriors who suffered directly and then the people of the nation indirectly. please.. Yona had comfort even in clothes of dragons. Se was literally laid on field of flowers as her eternal prison. Its not like she got sex trafficked or forced to starve or work as a child for minimum wage.

Right because if she didn't starve or get sex trafficked, it couldn’t possibly count as abuse. Silly me for thinking that threats, manipulation and isolation could possibly matter. Nothing screams love and safety like a well decorated prison. Abuse but make it 💫aesthetic💫

Is she not aware of the influence she has on them? She could literally use it to get them to do what she wants. They will do anything to keep her. She has cards in her hand.

And this is what she tried to do? She tried to appeal to their love for Hiryuu by dressing her request as the "prayer Hiryuu has been carrying for 2000 years"

But guess what? They broke their promise and tried to kill the dragons, yet you still want her to trust them😂?

An interesting point here; what was earth like before all this dragon descending shebang happened on earth? Its not like earth was unstable. And hiryuu's impact was in kouka. Other kingdoms are surviving just fine without him. I think disappearance or departure of hiryuu will put earth in its default state. Perhaps, hiryuu is the one who disrupted the natural order.

Nothing suggests that there were a lot of natural disasters before Hiryuu came, just wars, that's why this bit about the "devine protection" is unclear to me. The neighbouring countries never needed it and are surviving just fine. I hope Kusanagi will explain it a bit more.

She never had ties to begin with. As short as the connection between yona and gods have been, Its like her connection with them is just a bonus item she got on a side quest here. I don't really think she earned it or she has their trust for her to go back again and again and demand her demands.

????? She is the reincarnation of the Crimson dragon and her blood reacts to the chalice. She doesn't need to "earn" going back there lmao

yeah she did. She was literally presented with a scenario that the world will engulf in chaos if she chooses to be with her beloveds. And lo behold, she did not even rested or thought about the calamity that could possibly be unleashed on earth in exchange for her desire to be with her loved ones. The problem here is if this was a farce, she didn't even call out on it. Yona is having classic trolley problems. the only difference is that She doesn't hesitate to pull the trigger when Hak is on stake.

I have already addressed this point in my original post. If it bothers you so much then so should Soowon's actions in chapter 269. He purposely stabbed Hiryuu's corpse, the source of the country's divine protection in order to distract the gods and buy time for his friends. He acknowledges that his actions could put the country in an even greater danger, and that it won't allow him to defeat the gods, but merely to buy enough time to save his friends. So Soowon is basically putting Yona and Hak's lives above the citizens of Kouka. What do you think of that?

Also, she can no back to heaven thanks to chalice? How convenient?

Oh "convenient" is it? Fascinating choice of word, because clearly, the chalice defies all logic only when Yona uses it. Never mind that Zeno entered it twice without anyone batting an eye. The moment Yona does, it’s a plot hole the size of Kouka itself.

And since we’re here questioning "convenience" shall we take a moment to marvel at Soowon’s teleporting abilities? The man was deep inside Kai territory in chapter 256, and somehow materialized in Kuuto on the same day as Hak and yona, who, mind you, were already within Kouka’s borders two chapters earlier. How did he manage to? By divine chariot? Secret warp gate? Maybe his royal ambition unlocked ultraspeed? Never mind that he’s dragging an entire army with him, let’s spill ink over the chalice logistics and not, you know, the actual teleporting army. Priorities.

You are really pushing hard to see a bright side here. Isn't it better to state the fact that it is.

Not really when you're trying so hard to dissect her every action in a negative light to paint her as a terrible person

You're saying self sacrifice and selflessness is not a strength? Boy... Do many rulers lack for their people these days. the democracy has left us in shambles.

Except you're asking this of a 16 years old girl who's no ruler. And I'm well aware that Soowon's words are gospel to his fans, but maybe, just maybe you shouldn't shove the crown onto her when she hasn't so much as whispered a word of consent, hum?

yona as an mc isnt doing either of the options. Se hasn't self sacrifice, hasn't been exactly selfless and evidently hasn't actually crawled through mud. All we have seen is been desperate and cry or glare her aura max.

Clearly Yona hasn't been trying to to turn the situation around for the past 8 chapters. She’s merely been lounging by the red sea, sipping floral tea and petting squirrels. The dream life hum?

Honestly, I find this so amusing. If Yona struggles and doesn't achieve victory quickly then she's incompetent and useless, but if she does it's deemed unrealistic and poor writing. Whatever happens she can never escape criticism🤷‍♀️

If we had seen kingdom's state and suffering before we saw yona's perspective, I doubt we would have felt any sympathy for him.

This post is not a sympathy post for King Il. I merely wanted to point out that Yona manges to love him as a father while still acknowledging his wrongs as a king.

Even when she see people in suffering, she helps them and pity them but we never see her feeling guilty for her lack of awareness and knowledge that her father kept form her.

Neither do we see her holding him accountable. Though she was quick to hold Soowon accountable for deaths in Xing arc. HYPOCRITE.

Plus, that is exactly the reason why yona fails to fit in the role of a monarch. She still doesn't hold Il responsible

Right, because clearly the only way to show her disapproval of his actions is by vandalising his grave, throwing parties to celebrate his death, and dragging him on national press conferences. How dare she process trauma like a normal human being? How dare she have a nuanced emotional conflict that culminates into her acknowledging her father’s failures as a king while still cherishing him as the parent who raised her? She should immediately fall at Soowon’s feet, kiss them in gratitude, and praise him for making her an orphan.

When her mother died, she had someone to comfort her and so she didn't suffer pain alone. When her father died, she had Hak's unwavering support and once again wasn't alone. She always had someone to protect her from going insane and no one put any expectations on her shoulders.

I don't get why you're making their suffering into a competition. Are you trying to say that only the one who suffered the most deserves to be king?

I'm not saying its healthy, but that doesn't make yona a better person either. Soowon fails to love his father and so yona succeeds in forgiveness in comparison??? I'm sorry???

Again, that's not what this post is about. Yona doesn't "forgive" Il. She loves the part of him that showed her a fatherly love, but she doesn't condone his actions. She in fact goes against his values and spends the story fixing his mistakes

"Yona doesn't condemn her father's actions"

I find it baffling that such claims can still be made after more than 260 chapters of this story. Acknowledging Il's mistakes was a big part of Yona's development. The consequences of his reign were shoved to her face over and over. Wherever she went, never anyone offered anything but bitter truths about his rule, and she who was newly orphaned and still deep in mourning has had to accept them without complain. But instead of living her life with her head hang low in shame, she decides to do something about it! She decides to take responsibility and weep the tears her father made!

I think that what really bothers these people isn't that Yona doesn't acknowledge her father's mistakes, but that despite everything she still loves him, and that's so funny to me. Even the worst people in history had families who loved them. Il might not have been the best parent but he made Yona feel safe and loved, and if she is satisfied with that then so be it. It is nobody else's business. She is great bc she can separate her love for him as a father from his actions as a king, which is something even Soowon fails to do as he feels he cannot fully love his father without excusing his war crimes.

[mii-ruby]

[mii-ruby]

Well, she called her memoir the "the humble fruit of her resolve to entrust her recolections to Il" so it sounded like she wrote it for him, especially since we only see her writing it as she's ill, and never before

But even if that's not the case and she has been writing it for a while, it still doesn't justify confiding such personal details to her brother in law. She should've torn out the pages or erased the paragraphs that contained her lovey dovey scenes with Yuhon. I find it baffling that Il was criticised for telling her that he loved his wife, when all he did was answering accordingly to what Yonhi brought up, but Yonhi can write about kissing Yuhon and sleeping with him as if it's nothing.

Yonhi was so shameless

I know it's been a while since the diary arc but personally I think we did not talk enough about how certain passages in Yonhi's diary were kinda weird and inappropriate. We know that she wrote it with the intention of giving it to Il from the beginning, so she normally should've stuck to the most important information, however..... we have plenty of passages where she goes into details about her love life🤡. She describes her first kiss with Yuhon, the hugs and flirting between them, there's even a scene where she and Yuhon are in bed and it looks like they were having sex!!!! HELLO?!

Yonhi dear.... why would you write such things to your brother in law? Why do you think he'd care to know how his brother used to bang you? Do you maybe have some kind of fetish? Don't you think you went a bit too far with that?

To think that not only Il read that diary, but also Yona and Soowon....

[mii-ruby]

Sketch I did instead of revising 😭I'll study now

Yonhi was so shameless

I know it's been a while since the diary arc but personally I think we did not talk enough about how certain passages in Yonhi's diary were kinda weird and inappropriate. We know that she wrote it with the intention of giving it to Il from the beginning, so she normally should've stuck to the most important information, however..... we have plenty of passages where she goes into details about her love life🤡. She describes her first kiss with Yuhon, the hugs and flirting between them, there's even a scene where she and Yuhon are in bed and it looks like they were having sex!!!! HELLO?!

Yonhi dear.... why would you write such things to your brother in law? Why do you think he'd care to know how his brother used to bang you? Do you maybe have some kind of fetish? Don't you think you went a bit too far with that?

To think that not only Il read that diary, but also Yona and Soowon....

"Yona doesn't condemn her father's actions"

I find it baffling that such claims can still be made after more than 260 chapters of this story. Acknowledging Il's mistakes was a big part of Yona's development. The consequences of his reign were shoved to her face over and over. Wherever she went, never anyone offered anything but bitter truths about his rule, and she who was newly orphaned and still deep in mourning has had to accept them without complain. But instead of living her life with her head hang low in shame, she decides to do something about it! She decides to take responsibility and weep the tears her father made!

I think that what really bothers these people isn't that Yona doesn't acknowledge her father's mistakes, but that despite everything she still loves him, and that's so funny to me. Even the worst people in history had families who loved them. Il might not have been the best parent but he made Yona feel safe and loved, and if she is satisfied with that then so be it. It is nobody else's business. She is great bc she can separate her love for him as a father from his actions as a king, which is something even Soowon fails to do as he feels he cannot fully love his father without excusing his war crimes.
