For those still that have still finished reading this or have decided to reread this, I have good news and bad news for you. The good news is that At The End of the Road now has a game, here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jellypip.aerlive
The bad news is that the game is completely in Korean so you either have to be able to read Korean or get some sort of translator. Or you could just wing it. Anyway, enjoy the game and hope that a translated version will come out soon.
We know that Zeno was the dragon born to be the shield, but who is the sword?? Is it Kija??
Actually, the prophecy goes like this
"When the four dragons are gathered,
the sword and shield which will protect the king shall awaken,
and the Red Dragon shall restore the dawn at last."
Lots of fans have a theory. We can see that the four dragons are already mentioned. It is highly possible that the sword and shield are different people as they will only awaken after the four drahons are gathered. Ofc, Hak and Soo Won are the top nominees. Most thinks Hak is the Sword coz fighting skills and SooWon the shield coz she shieleded her from politics? Lol dunno.
I personally think Soo Won is the sword and Hak is the shield. Hak is usually protecting Yona. Soo Won is, well, being an asshole. What do you think?
What if soo won was the shield and hak was the sword?!?!?! Soo won rising to power (becoming king) because yona was still too young to defend the castle by herself and her father was a weak ruler so soo won made it his goal to protect hiryuu castle until yona and her sword (hak) can become strong enough to defend hiryuu castle
Why do they have to be people? Isn't the shield the dragon power that we saw recently, and the sword is the one Yona holds in many pictures in the first pages (and the intro story.)
Just because Hak is a major character doesn't mean that he has to be mentioned in the prophecy. King could be Soo-Won (he is king, duh) or Yona (King Hiryuu.) Both the dragon shield and the sword would be used by Yona to protect either herself or Soo-Won, whoever is the king.
No, he was talking about the sword and shield, not the king. (It's Ch.43 page 13) He never gave any information about the king, although they asked.
So what I mean, is that he didn't give any answer to the question on who is the king. Or any hints. The sword and shield hadn't appeared at the time, but nobody said that the king hasn't. So why couldn't Soo-won be king?
One other thing, in the English translations we all assume that they mean "king", so male, so Soo-Won being king. But in the actual Japanese version they use a word that actually doesn't specify a specific gender, so Hiryuu could be king or queen. Basically, "ruler" of Kouka. I just wanted to specify cuz a lot of people assume that because they use king, that it must be Soo-Won.^^
Yeah, I know that. I also believe that either Yona or Soo-Won could be the king.
But anyways, I think the sword and shield thing is solved (dragon shield and the ornament sword.) There's always a small possibility that the author wants to fool us on purpose, but I really really doubt it. I just wonder why everyone seems to believe that they are people, not objects.
Yep. For example, http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/akatsuki_no_yona/an/akatsuki-no-yona-chapter-1.html/13/
She is clearly holding an actual sword.
Yeah, the same sword with dragon details is everywhere. Too special to be just a normal weapon, I think.
Also the story focused a many times on how Yona shouldn't wield a sword, a physical weapon. Isn't that a hint too? She still hasn't really used one (besides the time she cut her hair), so when she finally picks up a sword to fight with it, it will be the dragon sword and the prophecy will enter its final stage - something big will happen.
Why not? After the dragons gathered, they went back to the priest and the priest told him that the sword and shield needed more time before they'll appear. Which meant that they are definitely not Hak or SooWon. Shortly after, Taejun and Lili were introduced. So isn't it referring to them?
Also, there have been many instances in the recent arcs that Lili and Taejun fought and protected Yona. Isn't that what the sword and shield are supposed to do? After all, just the dragons aren't enough to bring Yona the throne. Should there be war, she will need an army. Lili holds the power of the water tribe army and Taejun holds half (or maybe more) of the fire tribe army.
Anyone have the raws?
