Does this mean that the real reason Zeno was immortal was because he had become a vessel for the yellow dragon kami? I mean, immortality is on a totally different level from having OP eyesight or arm/leg strength. Perhaps without the dragon inside him, Zeno would have just had impeccable regenerative abilities and would only be able to die from a mortal wound or "old age"(at least as far as dragon warrior lifespans are concerned). 🤔

I'm also more willing to forgive the yellow dragon kami than the rest of the dragon kami. We have yet to hear his perspective after all. Perhaps he became sympathetic to Zeno and the other warriors only after Kaya died. Perhaps he had no power to change things for Zeno due to the promise mentioned in this chapter. Perhaps the dragon kami have very little say over the world at all. At the very least, he isn't trying to obstruct Yona and the dragon warriors for his own self interest the way the other dragon kami are.

Also, to put things in perspective, the dragons have been waiting for Hiryū for a little over 2,000 years. What is that in the face of their existence from the dawn until the end of time? In comparison to their natural "lifetimes", that might be similar to how long we've been waiting for a second season of the Akatsuki no Yona anime. XD

Bruh. The roast at the end. It will never come.

Hey! Let me dream! XD
The point still stands though. Even if they were to announce the next season for 2027, in comparison to how long the average lifespan is, it's not that long of a wait. It's even more of a blip in time for the dragon deities.

This makes me so glad that there was at least a reason why zeno suffered more than the others but I truly wish he could've consented to it first.

Was thinking how would they possibly get out of this with 3 gods against them but it makes all the sense that one would be required to rescue them too.

Igneel, you found your long lost brother in another universe 😂 I cried many tears for Zeno, and you yellow dragon took your sweet time to show up? Bruh. You abandoned the other three 🐉 and enjoyed your time with King Hiryuu on earth. 😮‍💨

I saw one comment here, let's have the Dragon Gods vacation on earth for a bit. They love the Crimson Dragon too much. Separation and feeling of abandonment. That hurts.

Final Arc? Ending soon? I dont want to think anymore.

Looks like I unintentionally called it.
Makes sense now when you think about it. Zeno can basically do White and Green dragon abilities under the condition he's damaged. (Can't remember if he was able to mimic the Blue dragon)
Plus effective immortality.
I imagine the Yellow dragon did it this way to hangout with the Crimson dragon more closely for his human lifespan, rather than watching from the heavens.

As I read it, I thought the same thing. When we were introduced to Zeno's abilities as a yellow dragon, I thought that for some reason he had more than one.

My idea basically came from the fact that Zeno has to hurt himself in order to act, but that helps his skin toughen and become stronger. If you think about it, that's pretty much correlative with the rest of the abilities, who had at least one part of their body like a dragon's. So, besides becoming stronger with injuries and having the ability to heal quickly like the rest, why was Zeno the only one who couldn't die? No matter what kind of injury he had on his human body, he would still live.

Right now, I probably understand that it was surely the work of the same yellow dragon, who wished to accompany the crimson dragon as closely as possible. Perhaps, like Yona and the previous Crimson King, the vow the yellow dragon had with Zeno was modified over time during the first generation. That would explain why, despite all dragons swearing the same thing, only the yellow dragon had such a notable distinction as being blessed/punished with immortality.

Or maybe I’m reading too much into it, who knows!
