Confidence in the Fire Tribe huh?

Kinda curious to see Soo-Won will do next. I'm starting to like Taejun more and more now though.

(Wow the chapter was released as soon as I said I couldn't wait to see Kyo-ga's reaction that was awesome)

Tae-jun is such a dork XD



This chapter was pretty good, there were several funny parts. But I don't like seeing Tae-jun cry :(

I'm liking Taejun a little bit more now! He was so funny at this chapter especially page 26 through page ? Forgot lol

Soo-won definitely heard about yona thing. His face was sad.... It was kinda sad for me too see his face like that somehow. Can't wait for the next chapter and see what will soo won would do next!

awww...no matter how much people hate Soo-Won I'm so glad he is such a magnificent king. He will definitely make Kouka kingdom prosper. :D

i think Soo-Won its recognizing Yona's work and in way I hope he regrets it, I hope he regrets just thinking of her as a child, when she is proving to be much more.

"And the sense of tragedy-according to Aristotle.comes, ironically enough, not from the protagonist's weak points but from his good qualities. Do you know what I'm getting at? People are drawn deeper into tragedy not by their defects but by their virtues"

Tae Jun really has become a more respectable and great leader now, by taking care of all those villagers.

Him trying to hide the fact that Yona was the one supporting though.

Lol'd so much at "See? Tae-jun isn't here" and "I wonder if we got the wrong village" XD Dat denial lololol

Taejun is just so amazing :D Glad SooWon is willing to send reinforcements to help with the medical issues.

The scene when SooWon realized Yona started all this was really nice. "So u already..." She's ahead of u dude :P

Akatsuki no Yona has such a nice developed characters with so much different personalities. I think that's what makes it so good. When manga started I didn't like Suu-Won and Tae-Jun at all but I adore them now^^

Same>< I like Soo Won and Tae Jun now. Especially Soo Woon. I think he's a good and realistic character because, let's face it, to achieve good things, you can't always use good methods. I think Soo Won actually has good reasons why he killed King Il. And i think Kouka is progressing in his era than when Il was the king.

That character development. Embarrassingly enough, I sobbed throughout this chapter. If you compare Tae-Jun to who he was before, you can really see the changes and effort he has made. I feel strangely proud :')

So this begs the question on who is the better ruler, Yona or Suwon?

Brilliant chapter.  I think how they handled both brothers was just excellent.  The author took care not to elevate one's leadership over the other.  They were simply great at different things.  Older brother was a better military leader and governor while Tae Jun had compassion for the people and knew how they were living.  The older brother could have soldiers protecting the villages and set up official clinics, while Tae Jun could understand the daily and average struggle.  Great chapter.

The brothers were a metaphor in that both are great at different things.

Suwon understands that military and fighting is needed to protect the borders and dispel chaos.  Suwon helped the economy using his influence and the influence of others.  Yona is better at understanding the average struggle and having compassion for the people.  Suwon is like the older brother of Tae Jun while Yona is like Tae Jun.

@LuxuriousHeart nice analogy. Both are good rulers but in different areas.

But comparing them, I can see Soo-Won as better than Yona (for now in this chapter). Diplomatically, Soo-Won is well-educated and he knows how to utilize his rational over emotion, while Yona is more driven by her emotions and compassion toward people, which is a little dangerous if she rules the whole nation at the moment.

Yona's advantage for now is that she got the Hak, the strongest among the generals, and the dragons. Let's add Yun to his intelligence. Meanwhile, Soo-Won is still winning the hearts of each tribe. Not sure after I read the recent chapter tho. HAHA. But for now, both are good, but Suwon is still a bit better for me.

Can't wait to see Yona's development. I can see clearly that she will be the next ruler of Kouka (so I'm guessing now that Soo-Won will die and will be replaced by her, given that Yona has started spreading her influence).
