Yona 190-191 Thoughts, Swoons, and Theories
Can I just say, Iām sort of in love with this flashback arc? Like I love the HHB of course, and Iām all for finding out more about Soo-won, but this flashback arc is hitting me with things I didnāt even know I needed and I wouldnāt mind being here for months lmao BUT letās get into it below the cut~ (Spoilers, obviously)Ā
I know that Yuhon is not someone who weāre supposed to be sympathizing, bUT LISTEN letās just ignore that because, Iām really enjoying him and Yonhi right now. Iām just swooning. Idk what it is exactly, but I think Iām learning something about myself and my tastes with this arc... Whatever it is, ITāS FEEDING ME.Ā
But alas, there is this creeping and foreboding feeling in the back of my mind as we go through this flashback, because we know that everything ends tragically for both of them... BUT just like Yuhonās war crimes, weāll ignore that for now.Ā
THEORIES
Now my memory of things that have been brought up and confirmed are a bit hazy so if I say anything that is already confirmed or denied, my bad lol But we got some insight on the priests in chapter 191- Il was going off to offer his prayers, and Yuhon wasnāt TOTALLY against the heavens, he was just likeĀ āyou can offer prayers anywhere lmaoā. But I feel like weāre definitely going to see the priests getting expelled. I wonder if their expulsion has to do with Yuhon finding out about Yonhiās blood and getting a hatred for the heavens due to it. If Yuhon DID end up coming to hate the heavens and everything involving the dragons due to Yonhiās illness, perhaps this also lead to Il raising a sword against his own brother as well, considering Yona is very much connected to the heavens. If Yuhon aimed to erase anything connected to Hiryuu and the heavens, it does make you wonder if those āsketchy figuresā that are after members of the royal family have to do with Yuhon... hmmm...some food to nibble on...Ā
ANYWAYS, whatās to come? I donāt know, but Iām HOPING for some baby Ik-soo if we got young Mundok. Iām HOPING for more info on the priests. And ultimately I am hoping for more time in this flashback cause itās some gOOD FOOD

Yona 188 Spoilers, Thoughts, & Future Speculation
Well it seems weāre still in the early stages of this arc, but with this slow build-up thereās still plenty of things to observe and appreciate! Some short (er) thoughts since a bunch of what I wrote got deleted lol (Spoilers obviously)Ā
Yona is on the Move!Ā
One of the big criticisms Iāve seen of this arc is the lack of Yona acting re: the mistreatment of the alliance. Itās definitely a one-sided alliance right now, so Iāve seen people confused or worried about Yonaās subdued attitude towards this. But sheās definitely taking action now and Iām excited to see it! After continuously being told by Min-soo that she canāt meet with Soo-won, Yona is finally moving on her own to find her placement in this alliance and I think itās a good sign! Also, seeing a hooded-Yona again felt really nice tbh lol
And THIS panel .... OOOOOFĀ
Iām excited to see the interactions we get from Soo-won and Yona this arc from this new development! Yona still has her fight! But I do think Yona will hit a wall. Sheās carrying a lot on her shoulders, and I think the only thing that is keeping her from breaking like during the Sei and Xing arc is knowing that Hak, the dragons, and Yoon are safe (for now!) I think as long as she knows that, sheāll be able to keep moving forward.Ā
AND, the mysterious bodyguard made an appearance and dude is SPOOKY.Ā
This panel gave me CHILLS a;sdkjaksdjĀ
I can definitely understand Yonaās worries during this arc. It WOULD probably be dangerous for Hak to be around her, considering heās already #1 on their list of āTop 1 Most Wanted Guys in Koukaā. Also, lowkey drinking up this separation angst. NOT that I want them separated but I kind of eat this melodrama for breakfast.Ā
But Hak will definitely be on high alert now, but I DONāT think Hak will be the next person Yona meets with. Sheās met with Jaeha, who already knows something is wrong (also smart on him to not deliver her message to Hak; yay no weird misunderstandings) but I do think Yoon will be the next person she meets.Ā
Will AkaYona end during this arc?
We know from an interview from last year that we were only 70% of the way through the story. With the trajectory, weād still have YEARS with this series, so itās too early for it to end. BUT, itās really hard for me to imagine the HHB traveling around like they once did. So will we be at Kouka from now until the end? I donāt know how this arc could be stretched that far, so I doubt it. Itās really hard to say where the series will go from here. All I can say is that I absolutely do NOT see Yona being on the throne by the end of the series. (Nor do I see Hak?? Idk where that common fan theory came from, but I donāt see it happening lol)Ā
The only thing I do need to know is: WHERE IS IK-SOO???Ā

Yona 187 Spoilers, Thoughts, Future Speculation & Wild Theories
Long-time, no-speculation! The last one I posted was back in... July ... ANYWAYS. A lot has happened since chapter 178, so Iām going to get into some general thoughts of this arc so far, and my speculation for whatās to come! SPOILER ALERT (obviously)!Ā
HHB agreeing to this alliance, not only because Yona wants to protect them, but also because they all know Yoon wants to read ALL the books, my heart. His face when he got to see the library and started learning? GOLD, best, this arc is worth that aloneĀ
And Iāve been waiting for Yoon and Min-soo interaction for YEARSSS and we finally got it, I almost forgot that it was never actually stated Min-soo knew medical knowledge until this arc .... lolĀ
Hak joining the army as a foot soldier is MY JAMĀ
The OG OT3 feels are in full force this arc, and everything hurts (say what you want about this arc but itās giving me some good angst, I canāt be mad)
Oh yeah, and Soo-won is sick, but Iāll get to why Iām not too worried about that further downĀ
The Joo-doh content has been nIcEĀ Ā
ALSO THE SKETCHY SHADOW BODYGUARDS ARE BACK??? Theory further below!Ā
OK OK so now what I think is in the future (or at least what I HOPE is in the future) and why I am not particularly worried about Soo-won:
I see Soo-wonās condition going one of two ways. Either 1) Heās being poisoned (by Min-soo?). Itās a bit of a further stretch but honestly I can see it happening. MIn-soo already feels guilty for his part in the Il assassination, and he specifically has mentioned poisons and medicines being 2 sides of the same coin. I WOULD think this is the answer if it wasnāt for, 2) Yoon will have a part in saving Soo-won. Senjusou was specifically brought up again this arc. This is not a coincidence and I think itāll play a pivotal part in saving Soo-won.Ā
So what am I hoping to see in the future?Ā
Still hoping for answers about Il and the past as a whole. Il had his own secrets, and there was unrest that we donāt have background for. Iād like the holes to be filled.Ā
Lili is around, whERE IS SHE? Lili, come help yo girlĀ
Iām really looking forward to seeing more from Joo-doh. Ever since that chapter where we got some internal dialogue from him about hoping Yona was out there somewhere safe, Iāve been interested in Yona and Joo-dohās interaction. Joo-doh is someone that has been around Yona nearly all her life, I want to see Kusanagi dig a bit deeper with them.Ā Ā
The sketchy shadow bodyguards?? Whatās the reason for keeping their identity secret? At this point- with them being purposefully hidden- thereās a reason for it. GIVE IT TO ME! A theory: Min-soo felt REALLY scared this chapter about Yona finding out about Soo-Wonās condition. Very on-edge. Iām almost wondering if thatās what these sketchy bodyguards are for ... what if theyāre taking out anyone who finds out the secret. And maybe when they first appeared was when this illness from Soo-won started up. What if the same thing happened with Soo-wonās mother and these guards are actually hers? Maybe these guards are poisoning him ohohoho we know that nobody butĀ āhis closest aidesā know about his illness. Considering Keishuk nor Ju-doh knew about it, who would be closer than maybe these shadow body guards?Ā Questions... and pure speculation!Ā
Zeno still knows things we donāt, you canāt change my mindĀ
Ik-soo.... pls come back.... Gigan.... come back ....Ā
In conclusion:Ā
Thank you for the happy Yoons, the Hak and Gulfans
Ā and the AngstĀ© (chapter 118 vs 187)Ā
āI told you.. that Iād be your legs.ā - Jaeha, 187
Also Ao stayed behind with Yona ;__;Ā
Also I missĀ The ThingĀ©, I MISS IT, I NEED IT BACK AGAIN, cause Jae-ha with the curtain this chapter doesnāt count.
Okay, thatās it for this chapter! Thanks to those who read through it! Tell me your thoughts! Personally, Iām enjoying this arc quite a bit, and I have full faith in Kusanagi. Weāre just here for the ride!Ā

Yona 178 Spoilers & Future Speculation
Things Iām hoping for in the near future:Ā
Soo-won answers! Heās been MIA for like ???? and Iām wondering how heāll react to the HHB coming to the castle
King Il answers! He knew stuff, I want to know whatĀ
Mausoleum answers!!! Since Lili is at the castle, Iād love if her and Yona took a little walk down there
Zeno answers! Heās been keeping quiet about stuff he knows for too long, itās time to spill
This will be the first time the dragons will be directly AT the castle. Knowing their powers are stronger the closer they are to the castle, Iām curious what effect this will have on them
Things Iām NOT hoping for:
Whatever terrible and ominous thing that Yona was foreboding at the end of this chapter, KEEP ITĀ

Yun told us it was morning. Hak and I did our morning practices, Kija and Shinah caught fish, Jaeha helped prepare the food, Zeno woke up while Yun was angry with him, and we ate a small meal around the fire. That was how our simple, happy days started. This marked the end of those days very soon.
