Imagine if there really were conflicts and like "Oh fk, this bird candidate got his chosen one before me!!"
Or there was a way to actually determine when one would get their Chosen One.
For now we know that the order was likely this:
Kureha's Chosen One, Kiyomaru (though premature)
Probably Feilong's Chosen one, Asagi
(These two first because it seemed that they had more seniority)
Then probably the split between Hao and Nagi as Feilong abandoned his duties,
Between that time Tora came to Wu? Or was it Haruka to Hao first?
Either way it's mostly Nagi was the last one to get Kotone.
But from what I'm assuming, if the sacred beast candidate doesn't get his Chosen One after a while the universe chooses another beast to be the candidate, and they have to keep their regions affairs in order before ascending through bonding with their chosen ones when they arrive.
Makes one wonder what happens to the previous Sacred Beasts and how they're chosen to be candidates. Most likely the divine scale that each one has to do soul swapping for the chosen one to live longer is passed down, and no one else can steal it. But the soul that it hosts can be rejected/accepted.
Yeah but this got me all thinking what happens if there existed other candidates since the crows were like "he's just STILL a candidate"
