| Awesome ending! I thought that man would be the last dragon instead of Soo-Won. Poor Jae-Ha, luckily he was saved in a very cool way by Yona. |

Poisun said: OMG! I love this anime so much! Yona went bamf and shot that thug! Also at the end I was like, OMGGGGGGG, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Cause that idiot Su-won killed her father, I hate him and there playing lovey dovey music in the background like its some romance. I wanted Yona to get away cause he wants her dead. Man I thought it was gonna be the last dragon when she bumped into someone but nooo. Can't wait for the next episode *_________* It gets better and better every episode! straggy said: Soo-Won better get his dick stamped on in the next episode. I'm not here for this if Yona doesn't kill him. Don´t judge Soon-Won so fast. Wait. and if you´re able to...read the manga. Also IMO to those who are curious about the last Dragon the blondie one in the opening that resembles a kiddo....read the manga....he is the BEST dragon of all.

| Great episode. Can't wait for next week. I love that the MAL score is almost in the 8s now and once we hit the end of this season, it'll rise even more. |
[right] "The big secret to breaking the rules is to make it look as though you're following them." |
| Nice fighting scenes. Though I think it's lame they use "nobody gonna die" strategy. Damn, I never expected Kumiji to killed by Yona-chan. I mean that arrow hit him right in the heart. That's what I call one kill shot. LOL Anyways, that cliffhanger in the end. I never expected this to happen. Damn, I am exciting for next ep. Yona standing in front of Su-Yon, the man that killed her father. I really want to know her reaction. ^^ What I liked most were the additional soundtrack in the end that went so well with the ending theme. I mean they made the scene so dramatic. In addition, the other new OST were also very beautiful. I had to say the OST of this anime is very good. Classical, adventurous and beautiful. |

abyss333 said: HOLY YONA! that perfect shot! WTF is SuuWon doing here? did this happen in the manga? scared that the anime might be rushin to the endin with only 2 eps left. wat bout the 4th dragon??? I guess they will keep him for the next season if it comes at all. :P Sorry to dissapoint, but there will be no yellow dragon in 2 ep. unfortunately . |

Orulyon said: Don´t judge Soon-Won so fast. I don't think it was necessarily a judgement, but seeing as Soo Won stuck a sword through her father and let him die a slow and painful death (bleeding out), you would think that it would be justice to avenge her the memory of her father by ending him. It still strikes me ass odd that people still ship Soo Won and Yona. I mean, Soo Won is an interesting character, but how the hell could Yona still have residual feelings for him? What, is Yona going to forget he brutally murdered her father when she is fucking him senseless? |

JeremyC said: That ending! Omg. There better be a second season. This is such an underrated anime on here. Ikr, but I guess people that haven't watched this anime think it's a love/romance shoujo anime. It's sad but that's why I think it's very underrated. Because the first ep. if this series were like that. It's sad that they have judged the whole series out of a couple ep. |

The first couple of ep. give you this point of view, but after her father get's killed you realize that it's much different from the typical romance shoujo anime. |
| |
| Goosebumps when Yona killed KUmji SU-WON OMFG : OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |
| I would've been kind of disappointed if like, no one died such a large scale fight so props to Yona for staying true to that scene in the OP. But more importantly, DAT CLIFFHANGER. |

The first couple of ep. give you this point of view, but after her father get's killed you realize that it's much different from the typical romance shoujo anime. The only problem I have is that the romance is really bad IMO. In that way it fails as a shoujo romance. Like, there is no development at all. Hak should honestly just give up at this point. I'd rather they do 1 out of 2 things: A. Actually develop a realistic romantic progression between characters B. Not focus on the romance at all (Not have any romance between characters) and just focus on the story of Yona. |
|
| That final scene was like "OMG Soo-won??". As usual, I'm so excited for the next episode!!! Can't wait! This anime just keeps on getting better and better! Ughh.. 2 episodes to go -_- I want more episodes!! |

What, is Yona going to forget he brutally murdered her father when she is fucking him senseless? Firstly I do not disagree with you and that is precisely the reason why I ship her with Hak, because I find it hard to forget that he indeed killed her dad. If it was me I would stab him to death for revenge, but then we're talking about FICTION. Honestly we should not think "why people ship that" because its a matter of liking and we´re all different. I used to wonder why psycho and yandere characters have so many popularity but then I gave up. All fandoms must be respected. I love Soo-Won honestly even though he is an anti-hero and does wrong things to obtain his goal of making an united strong kingdom for the sake of the people, a thing that Yona's father was unable to do leaving the kingdom defenseless being attacked and starving. He was so wrong in killing the king but he is a brilliant king doing things for the sake of the kingdom which we have to consider. These are anime characters, just because people ship Yona x Soo-Won (my second ship actually) doesnt mean they would ship them in real life (most likely not, I would probably wouldnt). Its not the first case to happen actually in anime is recurrent. Lets see Fairy Tail where the most canon couple are That is the Forgiveness power in anime: you forgive all the shit your bff/ex-lover/bro did as long as he shows regret, guilt or reveal his great honored goal etc. I will tell you why people love these ships...its ANGST. Welcome to anime troupes, the more angst it has, the more people will ship it, lol!:D |

| shit gonna hit the fan |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Didn't think she would actually do it...I thought Yan would be so scared that he would just run off leaving Jeaha alive and everyone lives happily ever after :o |
 |
| Oh shit, that cliffhanger. |
 |
| I ship Yona x Hak, but awwww Yun getting protective of Yona (and also realizing he was powerless to protect her) is so adorable. Yona has very good aim, perhaps the Hiryuu blood in her helped. When she was walking around by herself at the end, I was expecting her to run into Kumji's wife and children or something, and having to deal with the fact that she killed someone's father. But this is much more intense! I'm wondering now if we'll even get to meet the yellow dragon before the end of the season.... |
 |
| I was sooooo looking forward to the part where Yona shoots Kumji, let me tell you I am NOT disappointed with how it was adapted. A+ to Studio Perriot. I was also looking forward to the last part of the episode (if any anime-only fans were curious, yes that does indeed happen in the manga). The way that music mixed with the ending was absolutely perfect, it sounded gorgeous (it was so perfect that I'm wondering if it's the actual beginning of the full song? I hope so...) So happy with this and I'm also really sad that there are only two episodes left ;-; |

Welcome to anime troupes, the more angst it has, the more people will ship it, lol!:D Oh I totally understand that we have to differentiate fiction from reality. Some of my favorite anime characters are terrible people that murder for amusement (Kirei, Makishima, ect.) I don't believe the CG comparison is very accurate, because I definitely believe Soo Won is one of the more interesting characters from what we've been shown of him, but it reminds me too much of Tower of God with . It paints Yona as being a weaker person for holding onto feelings for her father's murderer. It doesn't mean I want Soo Won to die for what he did, but for the good of her character (IMO) I think it's paramount that she drop her infatuation with him. This is sort of off-topic and I haven't read the manga, but this is what I think would be a cool development. Call me a lover of tragic stories, but I almost hope her weakness for Soo Won forces her to learn a hard lesson in the way of Soo Won killing Hak. The guy will always be 2nd place in Yona's heart anyway but he is still a dear person to her. I believe this story is too light-hearted for something like that to happen, but it would be a really amazing development to harden Yona even more. |

I believe this story is too light-hearted for something like that to happen, but it would be a really amazing development to harden Yona even more. lol you're talking to a lover of tragic villains, so I understand you a bit (although I usually dislike when they kill just for amusement, I prefer when they have deep reasons to kill):D I actually believe that Yona does not love Soo Won romantically anymore but she loves Hak without realizing it yet. What I think that still lingers in her is other kind of love that its the same love Hak had for Soo Won: the fact that they're childhood friends almost raised as siblings (in the manga Hak & Soo Won have an entire chapter dedicated to their childhood and you can see their relationship is as stronger as their relationship with Yona, they were like brothers). That love/affection is as stronger, or even stronger than a romantic love IMO. Well, lol, no I dont think any of the guys will die, this is a shoujo after all, but if someone might have a death flag I bet it would be . However if you enjoy tragedy be sure to check the manga because King Hiryuu and his Yellow Dragon were probably the only time in the whole manga that made me get teary. Tragedy at best and unfortunately the anime will not cover it ;__; Also about Yona, unfortunately shoujo girls never get too strong if you know what I mean, that is why all my fav girls are actually from shonen because they are able to become even stronger than their male counterparts. Still the very positive thing here in Yona is that she is being portrayed rather realistic, which makes me love her because sometimes its also nice to see some character developping slowly instead of becomeing a badass in two episodes in a very unrealistic way, lol. She is strong in her own way much like if the same thing happened to a real girl that is probably how things would have gone: an ordinary person that has to practice hard to become a skilled archer, a crybaby that slowly developped coping methods to deal with her pain and to become stronger. So...I love Yona and her "love" for Soo-Won I dont find it just a weakness but also a strenght:) |

| WAHHHHH! SHE FINALLY SHOT HER ARROW DURING A FIGHT! AND AT THAT, SHE SHOT DOWN THE MAIN GUY! THE LOOK IN HER EYES *.* AND THE DRAMATIC PAUSE <3 I'M HOPING THAT THEY ALL SAW HER SHOOT DOWN THE GUY THOUGH. o: THE ENDING WAS SO UNEXPECTED. LIKE WHAT. OUT OF NOWHERE. I REALLY HOPE THEY AREN'T GOING TO FINISH THIS SERIES IN TWO EPISODES, ESPECIALLY WITH HOW THEY ENDED THIS EPISODE. THEY CAN'T POSSIBLY FINISH THE ENTIRE SERIES WITH TWO EPISODES WHEN THEY MADE YONA AND THE OTHER DUDE MEET AGAIN. ON A SIDE NOTE, I HOPE SHE DOESN'T FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM (AGAIN). -.- CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE. *excuse the all caps, just couldn't hold in the emotions |
 |
| No seriously this anime has so many likable characters (Shin-ha! Hak!) but dat damn squirrel yo. Best mascot character lol. Go Ao!!! |
Orulyon said: lol you're talking to a lover of tragic villains, so I understand you a bit (although I usually dislike when they kill just for amusement, I prefer when they have deep reasons to kill):D Yeah, I love all kinds of villains as long as they are complex characters. Kirei finding out he's a sadist after he's felt nothing his whole life was really interesting. The, you have Makishima Shougo killing people for a righteous cause, but deep down he had lost sight of his end goal and just enjoyed killing IMO. I actually believe that Yona does not love Soo Won romantically anymore but she loves Hak without realizing it yet. I feel like this is the way that the show is heading, but I don't even think they would be a good fit IMO. If we are to assume that Yona takes the throne back from Soo Won, she would be one of the most important people in the history of the world. She's the red dragon, she has the unwavering loyalty of everyone around her, and she is the true heir to the throne. By that time she will have 4 of the fairest and most powerful beings by her side. Hak, to me, has never really been 'bout dat lyfe. He seems like he just wants to chill in his hometown when this is over and live a peaceful life. I'm probably going to be in the minority, but I hope they don't go the "Yona realizes her feelings for Hak" route. If she hasn't by now, then it's much more realistic that she never will. Maybe they should add in another love interest for Yona near the end and Hak finds another girl. Just an example. What I think that still lingers in her is other kind of love that its the same love Hak had for Soo Won: the fact that they're childhood friends almost raised as siblings (in the manga Hak & Soo Won have an entire chapter dedicated to their childhood and you can see their relationship is as stronger as their relationship with Yona, they were like brothers). That love/affection is as stronger, or even stronger than a romantic love IMO. I can agree with you here. I guess the bond they created growing up together will always linger with Yona, no matter how far he has fallen in her mind. You just have to wonder, though. Does she has the resolve to take his life? Well, lol, no I dont think any of the guys will die, this is a shoujo after all, but if someone might have a death flag I bet it would be . Yeah, haha. I don't expect this to happen either. It's just my creative mind wandering off and trying to imagine this show with my favorite genres. I still think it would be interesting if Soo-Won were to kill one of the dragons or something. I know this is a shoujo, but the dragons seem more detached from the story than Yona, Hak, and Soo-won. I don't think one of their deaths is impossible. Also about Yona, unfortunately shoujo girls never get too strong if you know what I mean, that is why all my fav girls are actually from shonen because they are able to become even stronger than their male counterparts. Still the very positive thing here in Yona is that she is being portrayed rather realistic, which makes me love her because sometimes its also nice to see some character developping slowly instead of becomeing a badass in two episodes in a very unrealistic way, lol. She is strong in her own way much like if the same thing happened to a real girl that is probably how things would have gone: an ordinary person that has to practice hard to become a skilled archer, a crybaby that slowly developped coping methods to deal with her pain and to become stronger. So...I love Yona and her "love" for Soo-Won I dont find it just a weakness but also a strenght:) I also am enjoying Yona's character as well. I usually stay away from shounen altogether these days with the exception of HxH, but you are right about girls being portrayed as weak in other shows. The continued bond with Soo-won is alright considering he's a really good character, but I just don't like it when characters hold onto obsessions with other characters to drive the story (see Slaine from A/Z). I guess the difference in this show being that the main conflict is about her feelings about Soo-Won. Inugirlz said: No seriously this anime has so many likable characters (Shin-ha! Hak!) but dat damn squirrel yo. Best mascot character lol. Go Ao!!! Taking a break from the A/Z threads I see. It's nice to remember what a sane thread is supposed to look like sometimes. |
|
| this episode was seriously flawless and that cliffhanger O_O i got chills listening the ost at the end. i can't wait till the ost comes out next week. it'll be disappointing if there's no 2nd season. the mal rating skyrocketed with this episode |
orchidorkMar 12, 2015 6:12 AM
| Dat shot and dat cliffhanger. Best parts of the episode! Seeing that they need to find the 4th dragon, at least I guess they have to, and there only are 2 Episodes left I think we can hope for a second season. Don't think that they are gonna rush like hell at the end of such a good show now. |
| It hurts to wait for the next episode. That cliffhanger... This week was probably the best episode yet. |
 |
| OMG! What an amazing episode!!! 1st Jae-ha's smile when he goes to save Yona, saying that he was not sure he would be able to not kill them!!! Then Yona's look and killing Kumji with the arrow!! And not least, the Yona and Su-won reunited again! I want more!!! |
 |
| Yona save the day, what a surprised :) Awesome party and that cliffhanger - bravo 5/5 2 episodes left where is the 4th dragon, what going on here? i think he will be the one to save her from Su-won this time. |
 |
Savethebestforu said: Well, lol, no I dont think any of the guys will die, this is a shoujo after all, but if someone might have a death flag I bet it would be . [/quote] Although it's a shoujo I still think Hak is gonna die at some point. I kinda believe what Ik-Soo said. |
 |
| Very satisfying to see that dickhead die. The cliffhanger though |
| ? |
| Great episode, but only 24 episodes total?!! was hoping for a complete story instead of split into seasons. |
 |
| So what's with the disclaimer at the end? It wasn't in any other episode, and with two to go, it seems kind of late to be putting this in. Have people actually been complaining about this show for it to warrant this message?  |
| Yona is seriously moving up my ranks of favorite female characters. Xiberras said: So what's with the disclaimer at the end? It wasn't in any other episode, and with two to go, it seems kind of late to be putting this in. Have people actually been complaining about this show for it to warrant this message? Probably because Awa is a real place. They probably did get dumbasses writing in to ask the the Awa in the show is the same as Awa in real life. |
| Ahhhhh, I felt the sudden urge to read the manga after seeing the cliffhanger! Man, this episode was fantastic. Yona was absolutely badass. Sucks that there are only 2 more episodes to go but on the bright side, I can't wait to dive into the manga after this season is over. Hmmm, I wonder if there's enough time to cover the part where they'll meet the last dragon but if not, that's cool. Last thing I want is for the series to rush the last couple episodes. |
     |
| Fight scenes were a lot better than I had expected! Gosh, Yun, don't such sad things. You're really important, you know. Yona...just...I'm so proud of you, girl! :') God, that cliffhanger. That CLIFFHANGER! Oh, God.... |
 |
| Unsurprisingly the Yona scene was pretty neat and the culmination of a long journey but nowhere near even close to the kind of all-encompassing scene that so many here were hyping it up as. Don't get me wrong it was quite well shot and paced, I was just expecting a lot more actual animation and oomph to it the way people have been losing their minds over it. |
| suddenly Yona became marksman archer! |
 |
| Yona's first kill and it's a tyrant who sold women for money - damn! That development though, I'm guessing she's gonna get even more skilled with an arrow from now on. The fighting scenes were actually pretty good. Shin-ah is my favorite character and actually his fighting style is my favorite too. It was small, but when he cut the arrows thrown at him in half I got goosebumps! And Yona's shooting was obviously awesome. That ending UGH I can't wait!! I wanna know how this will play out since there's only 2 episodes left (which really sucks...I don't want it to end). I don't wanna wait for a season 2! |
| My jaw dropped on the last seconds of this episode. Su-won.. Why... |
 |
| Fuck I don't know how and when this show got this good That ending has GOT to be ONE OF THE MOST OH NIGGA FUCKIN DAMN!!!! moments in anime history. Seeing that Su-Won bitch, shit WHAT AN INEXPLICABLE FEELING Still want a refund on the OP |
