Thanks for the translation.
Somehow it feels like some kind of reconciliation.

 

[squeegee-c]

I’ve been saying for quite some time now that the manga wouldn’t end in revenge but rather in unity. This is the best we can hope for from Soo-won I think.

More like closure. Their aren't friends, he simply doesn't want vengeance against him anymore, because there is no reason for it.
Yona will retake the throne legally with Hak at her side, and Soowon will die slowly.

 

[Mitsu13]

I wonder if Yona will have a short lifespan too, just like King Hiryuu. Also wondering what is Soo-woon's supernatural power.

 

[jak]

I've always thought Soo Won was a piece of shit. And now we know that he didn't even kill King Il for revenge because he probably knew his own father was a giant monster.

 

[LucidDayDreamer]

Was hoping he'd at least give him a punch

 

[MesaOracle]

Nope, still don't feel any pity, sympathy or empathy for Soo Won. Die a painful death, my guy.

I'm on Hak's side, because I think Soo-won is not fair on toying with Yona's fates as if he's remaking them in his own hands. It's not like Yona is a degenerate that couldn't feel other's pain. Don't say you don't have a choice, he did have choices but to choose the bad path only. For example, Soo-won could advise Il to send her to Awa to befriend Lili to see her own kingdom, make her interested in medicines or politics, etc. At that time period when Yona was still in love with him, I think she will listen to him. I shudder to think to let Soo-won pretend to marry Yona and then abdicate the throne to her. He doesn't need to kill Il only for the sake of saving the Kingdom. Was it to save the Kingdom or your pride?

Why was I expecting something different from the bastard soo won. His “excuse” for getting the throne is still as ridiculous as we all thought it was. Whatever man just leave them alone stop coming back and dumping more of the problems YOU MADE onto them time after time. 😕

It sucks bc I do want a cure for the curse but not for him only for mei she deserves a second chance at living the life she wants with her cute squirrel and bf 😭 tbh I hope that if there is a cure he just. Doesn’t get in time. 🤭

 

[amj]

awww Hak

 

[Ashandai]

chapter of bombs tbh

man, i really dont want yona or hak to give soo-won any form of forgiveness

I think this might end up being the final arc. Finding a way to undo the curse, save the 4 dragons, Yona, and Soo-won, in exchange for them losing their powers.

 

[ifarisu]

Who cut onions here 🥲
I agree with Hak that what Sowoon did to them still unforgivable, but seeing him in his state now...
They both have different opinion and there is no chance of them to be together because of that. Maybe if Sowoon choose to marry Yona it will give better outcome, but what happened had happened. We cant cry over spilt milk, but I definitely will cry if those 5 dies 😭😭

 

[unime]

Honestly.. soo-won needs a therapist :v he is way to self absorbed sometimes

 

[weeb-kun69]

Nah gtfo with that bullshit Soowon. Protect the country? Help your traitorous ass?? No shot. Kinda mad Hak didn’t kill him right there, but since he (hopefully) will die either way, it’s fine I guess. Just hope there is a cure so Meiyan can live a better life and Soowon just dies before he can get it. The a-hole deserves at least that much. Never liked him since the beginning and even after all this time, I still hate him. Hopefully he doesn’t get some BS redemption or something because that would be VERY annoying.

Also if Yona gets the throne and becomes queen, would that make Hak king?

 

[kiero13]

What a sad life for suwon.

 

[WanRa]

Reading the other comments i want to add another thing.

Soo-won didn't kill the previous king to make Yona strong, he did for revenge and also to save the kingdom (Yona at the time was unfit to succeed her father).

During King Il reign, Kouka was losing more and more territories, at the point of being a mere fraction of what was just a generation before; also the gap between rich and poor was getting bigger and bigger to the point that you have to walk just a few streets from the imperial palace to start to see homeless and beggers.

In this chapter Soo-won specify that he searched for a valid successor (knowing he can't have an healthy heir) who had all the qualities to continue his work and make the kingdom prosper, but unfortunately only Yona matched all the requirements

Here, here. Totally agree... I just cannot sympathize with or redeem Suwon in any way. I understand his pov, but totally disagree.

 

[doradora]

Yea can't feel sympathy for this guy, at the very end everything is just his selfish wish, trying to assassinate Yona because he thinks that she's incompetent, but once she is the person that she is now he wants her to rule his kingdom, man GTFO.

Then again, considering Yona's sense of responsibility towards Kouka kingdom, I'm pretty sure she will still do what Soowon wants even if she's not doing it for his sake.
