Akatsuki no Yona - Vol. 28 Ch. 161 - Lady Iguni is Not Pleased

The title alone gave me chills in the back of my spine, I was kinda scared of Lady Iguni’s anger, as I thought she’d be more or less on Yona’s side. And surprisingly, my presumptions weren’t wrong! Thank goodness!

Posting what I wrote in another comment section here:

Finally, finally someone IN the story proper sees through this "I can't bring myself to dislike King Soo-Won" nonsense and says, loud and clear, that there's something wrong with him.

To me, that's the single most important event in the chapter. The downfall of characters like Soo-Won, who have committed an unforgivable deed in the beginning but are painted in rosy tones afterwards, normally begins with casual remarks like that, by side characters, to plant in readers' minds the idea that they will end up hoisted by their own petards.

I'm dancing here. Anything that brings Soo-Won closer to where I want him - six feet under - is an event to be celebrated

In so relieved that their mother seems like a good person and knew Yona's. The reveal that her mother knew she was giving birth to King hiryuu's reincarnation is amazing as well.

There's something so immensely relieving about knowing she's a good person, and that she gets a bad feeling from Soo won. Most of the portrayal is accurate to a coup, officials disapproving of yona's dad and the citizens provided conditions improved don't care that he was murdered.

That's fine. But that flash of revenge and a need to murder from soo won was real and if we end up exploring the facets of his father's behaviours he's inherited or even began to emulate, it'll be fascinating.

Something triggers yona at the beginning to have to return and take him down, whether that's him showing and evolving into an even more violent leader or his war efforts evolving out of control. Something must come to a head to make yona realise she needs to reclaim the throne and right the wrong he may commit, and be a better ruler than her father and a better person than her cousin or his father.

And I really hope we get to know more about Yona's mum, I get the feeling there may be a big reveal when they finally get to the Royal temple. We've still not learned what or where her sword and shield are but the pacing has been pretty satisfying with these kinds of revelations.

We might have already met them. It's just a theory, but I think the sword and shield are people not objects. Lily and Tae Jun immediately come to mind as candidates.

My favorite part:
Shin-Ah: Anyone who gives you food is a good person.

Haha!! Man. This chapter was so worth the wait! I'm so happy for Tae-Jun. He has a good mother. Lady Iguni, tell us more about Yona's mum.

 

[izayamikaelis]

ahhhh..... this is so annoying to see lol

 

[WiseGirl]

I got a good vibe from lady Iguni from before and I'm glad she seems to be a good person...I want to hear more abt Yona's mom too....Hak being protective of Tae-jun is so precious...just goes to show how much Tae-jun's changed...I noted tht too @Kendama

 

[stressedcoffee]

so her mother knew from the start... most likely king il also knew something about it as well that's why he has always been an advocate for peace. maybe he wanted to do king hiryuu's will but unfortunately failed as he was killed. maybe king il wanted yona to reign in peace? but there's something fishy as to why he's so against soo woon,,,,
