| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Those who are first timers are excited to see ocean. Arriving to a village with weird atmosphere and a group on ship (pirate lead by old lady from the PV) battling against the leader and the destiny of being the dragon. So that childhood guy met Rokuryuu, but wanting freedom. So the power is from his right leg. The pirates keep his secret well and praise his power. He's such a narcissist and womanizer. Now he aims to get childhood guy to join the group. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| So we're back with the adventurers again. Nice. Thought this episode was actually pretty interesting with focus on this village along with the pirate gimmick. Hopefully we'll see more development with the other characters but this seems to focus a bit more even on Jae-ha for now. |
 |
| Nice interaction between Hak and Yona! Jae-ha and Hak are getting along pretty well to meet from a combined attack! Jae-ha wanting to evade his destiny and being a pirate. Yona's lack of reaction after seeing Hak there, it was funny and cute! The pirates are quite awesome to only attack the corrupt official's boats and burning their ships without killing anyone. No wonder they've captured the peoples' hearts! Honour among thieves is honour under the sea. Hak has gotten himself a fan, nice! |
 |
| Finally Jae-ha :D U gotta love this guy XD Such a player and the way he and Hak are totally in sync is hilarious lol Can't wait to see his reaction to seeing Yona. He's totally gonna fall for her cuteness :3 Poor Hak though, Yona totally didn't mind him seeing other girls XD Not a single glimpse of jelly ^^; Well at least he got his does of her cuteness when she told him to come back soon <3 And that girl that was gonna faint from Hak's glare was lol Jae-ha saying he wants Hak to glare at him like that was hilarious XD And how they both couldn't mention their birth places too lol Felt bad for Shin-ah when he was told he stands out the most and isn't aloud to go to the city XD Gigan is so cool. What a BA woman she is :D Best captain! Reminds me of WhiteBeard (OP) somewhat ^^; And some Yona development with how she noticed the lifelessness of this city was nice. Obligatory Ao is kawaii <3 This arc is only getting better from here >.<!! |
 |
| lol Ichigo's VA and Grimmjow's VA are together again. (They're also in KuroBas, Aomine and Haizaki). Good Episode :) |
| There's our bad ass green dragon. Let's see how will they win him over. |
 |
| Very nice episode. |
| I can already tell, Jae-Ha's gonna be my favorite among the dragons. |
| The Green Dragon (Jaeha) seems quite similar to Hak - They both like to tease the others around them. I think the comedy will be doubled when he joins the group. |
ClawViper7 said: The Green Dragon (Jaeha) seems quite similar to Hak - They both like to tease the others around them. I think the comedy will be doubled when he joins the group. Jae-ha is worse than Hak, believe me. |
| That Hak glare was epic! Any girl (except Yona) would be "killed" by that look. Pretty funny how Jae-ha and Hak couldn't mention their place of origin, or more like chose to keep it to themselves. They're quite similar in some ways. Old lady Gigan is one badass captain. I wonder what does she mean by "We'll track it down eventually." Something valuable? O.o Good episode. Jae-ha seems quite carefree and wants to escape his destiny, but he has one major weakness that'll make him submit, and that is cute girls. Yona cuteness is off the chart! :3 |
 |
| Shit, It's gonna be a couple of ep more for the red head to get the Green Dragon. |
| Nice episode overall. The green dragon is really funny and interesting and I like the interactions between him and Hak. Next episode is gonna be interesting. Still, dat punch-kick was amazing! I swear I love these two. But Kija and Shin-ah were cute too like, overly cute I can't even... Will there even appear a character that I hate in this series?(probably never) |
| Lol looking forward to Jae-ha's reaction when he finds out the "King" is Yona. |
 |
| this never stops being entertaining. |
 <--- Who Your Waifus Look Up To --->  |
| That green dragon is a funny guy. Can't wait for the next episode. |

| That captain Gigan looks exactly like togane's mother from psycho pass :o |

| Maybe it's just me, but it seems like they censored the topic just a little bit. I assume it won't greatly affect the story, though. |
| ^Liking your avi :D Yes, funniest dragon is here! Jae-ha is just hilarious, and it's only his debut! I love the way he praises Hak. #1 fanboy. Anyways, nice set up of this arc regarding the pirates vs. Yan Kumji . Not only is Yona and co. trying to find ryokuryuu, there is also some other trouble occurring in Iwa. But poor Hak, Yona doesn't even mind if Hak goes to a "place like that." |
| Jae-ha is so awesome! I love how he cares about his liberty, it will makes him difficult to bring him in the group. He won't easily accept Yona plea, except if he fall for her, likes pretty much the other dragons :P I'm not sure too about how he's planning to ''capture'' Hak, I don't think he outpower him in a 1on1 fight. Poor Hak, Yona gave no fuck when she found out he was in that brothel :( Senpai, notice him! ~ He's also smooth as fuck : ''Princess, you've grown uglier lately.'' Don't fall in the redpill trap, Hak! :O |

| "Let's go to the port city!" "NO! We can't take you guys down there! Especially not the guy with the mask!" Poor Sin-ha ;_; Cool the green dragon plays an Erhu :O I find it interesting how he wants to escape his fate and thus, ended up joining pirates. Naww the squirrel is so cute |

| The shows pacing is really picking up now, and i love the side stories of the dragons and their lives. I like this Green Dragon guy too. and Yona sounds like she doesn't entirely understand the kind of place Hak was in. You know, i was wondering why all the Pirates weapons were made of wood at first lol |

| Not much happened but I still liked the episode :o I guess that's the essence to make any anime better =) I also like the pace, it's a bit slow but I actually think it fits really well in the story... I just would like to know how many cours this series is going to have... I really hope it doesn't end in this season already, I feel like there's still so much to be told and to happen... |
| I don't know why, but I couldn't get into this episode like the others. Captain Gigan is my role model tho. Step on me too, please~ ☆ |

ClawViper7 said: The Green Dragon (Jaeha) seems quite similar to Hak - They both like to tease the others around them. I think the comedy will be doubled when he joins the group. Actually he makes Hak look a decent guy. Haha~ You'll probably realize as we see more of him. Anyways. Here we go! The obligatory badly drawn episode (a trait that comes with almost every shoujo anime now a days). We aren't going to go anywhere with the current pacing though. I hope they don't end it as a two cour anime that would never see a sequel! :( |

| Good to see a free spirited guy as the green dragon. This anime would be better if they cut down on the fan service like cute shots of pets and the princess and focused more on the plot in a serious manner. Other historical fantasy anime like 12 Kingdoms are awesome because there is no BS in them. I wish this was similar, still I can live with the way it is now. |
| I loved the green dragon's entrance!! I really like his character a bunch and he's really pretty too. Also, Hak and the green dragon would make an awesome fighting combo. It'll definitely be interesting to see the showdown next week (I'm guessing he's going to meet Yona and Co. judging by the preview). The chibi thing is still kind of bothering me... Haha I think I say this every week but poor Hak. I don't think it's possible for Yona to be any more oblivious. I'm super pumped for next week! I wonder how the green dragon will react to Yona?? |
| Green Dragon = Best Dragon Very hyped up for next weeks episode. |
  |
| I love the green dragon but Sin-Ha will still always be my favorite dragon. I think it's nice however that we have a dragon that doesn't like the idea of following behind someone. He doesn't seem like he's missing anyone, maybe just a friend. On a side note, I need more Hak. He's just so great. I'm already shipping him and Yona. |
| While I enjoyed the episode, I'm concerned about the pacing of the show overall... apparently we still have no idea exactly how many episodes we're getting, and the slow as molasses pacing at the very beginning means a rushed final third and no character development time for the fourth dragon, it looks like. I'm enjoying the journey a lot, but I don't think they have time to reach the destination cleanly. :( |
| Quality Queen. |
| For once a deeper side plot? :O Liking the new dragon already. Lets see his reaction next episode when he meets Yona. XD |

But once the series concludes and years later we binge watch, it would likely feel properly paced. The pacing does not bother me as much and I would actually prefer to see a compelling storyline for the green dragon at least where Yona and her team spend some time with him trying to fight for his cause. The mark of any good series is how interesting its arcs are and so far this series has had only 2 arcs. One with escape of princess from her Kingdom and second, searching the dragons. |
| Really interesting episode. The green dragon seems to be the coolest of them all IMO (Personality wise). Wonder how he'll take it when he's the princess's bodyguard and friends with the other drags |
 |
| I really liked this episode. I think Jae ha's appearance in the anime is pretty well-done. He can be so hysterical and attractive. |
| I don't think there's a character that I DON'T like. I really like this show so far... |

I was a bit unsure when he was messing around, but I started to catch on when Jae-ha started speaking seriously. Anyway, definitely love the shenanigans that Jae-ha and Hak pull when together. xD He definitely would make the group even more amusing once he eventually joins. |

I agree the arcs have been enjoyable, I'm just thinking in terms of how many episodes are left and how much is left to do. I hope they've left enough to do it right, because so far it's been great. |

| The Green Dragon is very interesting, I'm glad one of them has a rebellious nature. I wonder how they'll manage to convince him to follow them, also he's interesting in Hak so the next meeting will be awesome. I love how he's insecure but acts tough loool & the pirates are all nice to him despite his supernatural powers & weird legs. The Jae-ha/Hak duo is GOAT. RAWRfizzz said: I agree the arcs have been enjoyable, I'm just thinking in terms of how many episodes are left and how much is left to do. I hope they've left enough to do it right, because so far it's been great. It could be a long-running show since we still don't know how many episodes are left (no way it's gonna end at ep 24), plus Studio Pierrot has done a lot of 51 episodes long shojo anime. |
 |
| The animaaaaaatiooooon in this episode. Gosh. Well, at least they introduced Jaeha my dorky baby now and its time for Pierrot to work on the 4th PV and let my favorite dragon shine. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
