Is Anastasia Taekjoo?
Anastasia the weapon kinda determines Zhenya’s worth at the beginning. That’s why everyone tolerates him, scared of him, obeys him etc.. He explains it as an elusive, legendary existence, his biggest strength, his biggest weakness and the reason he breathes. Later in the story Taekjoo metaphorically becomes all those things for him and he names him his new Anastasia.
