Okay I feel like a dumbass but like what happened??? Phos disintegrated and their dust turned into a comet and their Lunarian eye is just chilling now with some rocks. Is that what happened?????
Apparently that's exactly what happened
phos essentially evolved backwards and then dissapeared although the teeny tiny shard of them could be considered their rebirth free of the shackles and suffering of humanity ( also that means a big part of them again dissapeared which is why the littelest brother phos doesnt even remember lunarians) ( budhissm refrence bla bla phos essentially got enlightened then lead/prayed everbody to nothingness/paradise and then followed and got reborn) then even more parts of phos split off that now roam space and time and that embody phos truest character , their " heart of gold" ( kongo said that about them once shortly after they were born) this kindess hopefully brightens up somebodies day ( figuratively and literally as they are comets) . Phos kindess seems to have transcended so far that it even reached another phos from another time or another world... or rather the kindess and pure love phos nurtured and set free was so strong that it reached them in the past
also phoss lunarian eye was a pearl that achmea used to spy on them , it is no longer existent ( also it was implemented i think pretty mucna roudn phoss first time on the moon , ypu mgith remember the scene of achmea approaching phos with an ice pick or smth ). phoss other orginal was lost after they turned into the almagamted human after the fight with cinnabar. it then gets replaces shortly after meeting with sensei who grants phos his eye, his most crucial machine part, or his only machine part? he seems to be pretty much only diamond aside from that eye which gave him the power he had to pray and stuff although he definetly was more tha that eye or else he would have ceased to exist after fiving it up but he seemed mostly fine after givign it too phos. phos then uses kongos eye to implement it in herself and then 10k years pass until they properly deveoped into the new complete divine. the other eye or " brother " was the machine that was developed before sensei adn was responsible for the end of humanity. both machines were devolped my the doctor whos goal it was to rid the world of humaity so inorganic live could thrive free of the poison that is humaity or whats left of huamity after it perished ( this was more or less mostly kongos duty who hella fucked up because he devopled an ego after meeting the lustrous, which is fatal for somebody whos supposed to be enlightened and greater than humaity, whos free of wants and who therefore could cleanse them and pray them away to nothingness/ paradise ) ( essentially he met a remnant of humaity and probably partially due to their similarity ( both were made of diamond/ crystal) he began to care for it and all other alike them and that attachment and love fostered the devopment of an ego and essentially poisened him with a bit of humanity. he knew this all along and feels incredibly guilty but its also the love for the gems that made him keep going for millenia. hes one of the few who have always loved phos whole heartedly. anyways so he then just couldnt fullfill his duty anymore of ridding the world of all that was human because he too got " infected" with it so he leaves his eye and therfore all his power and the doctors wish to phos. ( this is why we see the doctor telling phos " burn that bridge" during their 10k years of loneliness, its the eye of kongo and the instrcutions of the doctor to him"
Oh gotcha about the eye. Still confused but that’s very helpful thank you for explaining
SCREAMING.
I have so much to say
1st MY EDGY YELLOW BOY MOOLSLKSJSJXJSJXKCJCJCJCJCKCK. Zeno please I can’t take this anymore…( T-T )
Also 2 chapters at once!? Yummy. Suwon naming Yona as the next ruler, also yummy, but like… a bit too little too late my man you KILLED HER DAD.
Also lot’s of blood stuff? The Red Dragon’s blood line has a disease, the dragon warriors feel their blood boiling when they meet Yona, the dragon god was inside of Zeno’s blood, he filled the chalice with his blood, Yona had a crush on her blood related relative (I kid, cousin incest is like the least problematic thing royalty has historically done rip).
Yona is having constant prophetic dreams? Also she got to see the original warriors!!! I’m kinda… conflicted about the message that the suffering of Zeno and the bloodlines of the dragons, more blood, is worth it for Yona to meet her friends. Definitely not what was intended but it’s what I was thinking.
Overall I’m feeling very positive and sad in a good way because emotions from media are cool. I’m in awe. Can’t wait for JUNE ( T-T )
Waaa?? Why is everyone hating on seme’s hair I thought the gloomy long hair was cute, new haircut is good too. The ponytail was a bit weird to me though.
Mika and Yuu being gay was never going to be canon for a lot of reasons. But Shinoa’s feelings literally feel like they come out of nowhere. It makes sense for her to have a crush on Yuu but Love??? She has not developed her personal relationship with him enough for it to truly be romantic love. The author is forcing this romantic arc/plot/sub-plot/whatever it’s giving big “telling you not showing you.” They merged souls with each other, Yuu is possibly destroying the world for Mika and trusts him before others, and both have put the lives of others at risk to help each other. They have acted this way since the beginning and continue to act like this. The emotional backbone of this story is the relationship between Mika and Yuu, romantic or not. Shinoa has not had as much one-on-one “screen time” with Yuu like Mika has but she is written with the same self sacrificing attitude towards Yuu without the emotional labor that Mika and Yuu have shown towards each other. I hope this is a one sided love and Yuu doesn’t end up with her but if that’s the case it basically ruins her character. Her sister’s only character trait is obsession with Greun and now Shinoa’s is obsession with Yuu.
I’m less mad about Mika and Yuu not being gay, I’m mad that the most important female character in this story has been turned into a one dimensional character and instead of having her own relationship with Yuu she is going through the same beats that Mika already did.
Correction- I meant Shinoa’s sister and her character “motivations” are all about men, not traits.
LITERALLY. i want 0 romance. if kagami-sensei takes the route of reducing shinoa whose entire being revolves around "loving" a boy, AND they end up together, i'm dropping it lol.
shinoa has so much potential as a dynamic character but it's starting to look like your typical shoujo romance and it just seems so forced. the 2 have no chemistry whatsoever and it's getting really annoying how forced it's becoming.
plus if yuunoa was canon then kagami got some explaining to do with how much he hinted and heavily implied at mikayuu being canon
Kagami sucks so much at romance and females, like, forget about Kishimoto and your average shonen mangaka, that may or may not be sooo bad with romance, Kagami actually thinls he is cooking and is just making a fool out of his girls, and boys too why not.
Oh yeah, this is a very common thing in Shounen. Especially with an action series, any time spent on emotions is time not spent killing demons so the romance is never developed
The April Fools Art!!!!!!! So cute I would love for them to remain friends now that I’m out of college and barely speak to any school friends, I just started college when this started LMAO, it kinda makes me nostalgic for these kinds of conversations we had and how we imagined out future. Not as much drama and trauma but it feels so realistic to me.
Extremely weird that the April Fools Art of older junhwan triggered this emotion in me but I really love this story and I want to see these boys grow up!
No, I totally understand what you mean. And I think the art touched a sad feeling a lot of us had that maybe they wouldn't be there for each other anymore as adults, but we can see that at least some of them stay together. Which especially given the whole broken family theme of this story, makes me wanna cry. And it was so cute, even if just one little panel. This whole last chapter aughh. I never want this story to end but also I know it needs to ;-;
Teens buying movie tickets to make out like it’s a new idea smh my head, good for these gays, good for them
Read this in 3 days, LOVE SO MUCH. The story is great, its length actually suits it, the art for the monsters and races are amazing and the theme carries throughout AAAAA I have not enjoyed a story like this for a while. Only criticism is Falin’s part. She played the damsel in distress, which is a call back to the classic fantasy games this is based on. But I feel like she should’ve stayed dead or been more involved in the story. Even her dragon form didn’t do much other than act out Thistle’s actions. Either way I love the progression of the story a lot and This is going in a re read list for me! I may watch the anime as it comes out, but probably not until Mithuru is introduced because I started reading this to find out about the elf twink I saw all over twitter lmao
Anime watcher, the voice actress for Chilchuck did him so much justice I have been converted to middle aged manlet fandom
aaaaa I’m going to explore what I think about Zeno.
Spoilers: my speculation, character analysis, and general summary of Zeno
Logically he could’ve waited until Yona and the dragons were older to do this plan but like he said the dragons were severely injured outside of their country so he thought he was saving them from a painful dead or saving a future reincarnation from being born. Living so long and knowing his dragon brothers existed out there but would never bond with him without the existence of the Red Dragon must have been soul crushing. His original brothers died and the original Red Dragon died and he had to watch them grow old while he survived, massive guilt plus the deaths of those closest to him. He also had a difficult relationship with the Red Dragon because he wanted to use his power to protect others and the Red Dragon knew what it meant but never really had a conversation with him about it. He waited to the reincarnation to feel whole again but his waiting made him resentful of the dragon gods and tired of being alive having to forget those he bonds with just to be able to keep on going. Zeno’s story is kinda an inverse of the Red Dragon who gave up immortality to peruse a completely human life and his brothers cursed innocent people and bloodlines with short life spans and a legacy that made others fear them. I don’t blame Zeno for just wanting to rest because even though he’s gotten close to Yona and the bunch he is still emotionally distant because he already had to watch so many people disappear. He believes he is saving the dragons from the reincarnation cycle, he also just wants to finally rest.
I really hope they can be reincarnated as humans like the original Red Dragon did.
I hope the dragon bloodline/reincarnation thing would end at Yona's generation, maybe after the country is at peace again, Yona becomes queen, the dragon can lose their powers and become human.
“God Fucking Dammit” is exactly how I reacted too translators
