Nice episode.

Though shooting at a young boar is risky - boars protecting their young are not to be joked with, she'd be dead.

And finally we'll get to see one of the dragons!

The character development here is just great, rarely do one see that nowadays. I love Hak's character though, he should stay as he is.

Looking forward to Masakazu Morita next episode.

"Prodigies don't understand how the incompetent feel." I love that quote by Yoon so much. xD Haha, and Hak's teasing/trolling is quite hilarious too.

Yona has gotten fairly decent with the bow. Looks like she starts with the sword next. Also, it looks like we'll meet the White Dragon next episode.

Yona and a bow ..it really is the very worst possible pick of weapon for her. She has a small frame and would look ridiculous with Hak's muscles, so she wobbles all the time. And she has soft skin, a given for a princess, and she won't even use gloves, so her hands are frayed and bleeding, and will continue to so until she develops massive callouses...

Hahah! Hak is simply the cutest! And to see their interactions always brings a smile to my face. Cant wait to see if Hak confesses to her. And they make little Hak and Yona babies. HAHAHAH

-clears throat-

Oh well. I really liked the fact that she took up the bow and tried her very best at it. Mind you, Archery is no easy task.
And finally a dragon appears! YAY!

Soo pumped for ep10!!

Ohooo, Soo-won is getting rid of the corruption that runs deep since Yona's father was too kind and people became greedy.

Hak teasing Yona as usual :3 and Yoon stating how the reasons why each invidual in their party stands out was hilarious XD.

Haha, now Hak's teasing Yoon XD.

Ah, Hak wanted to buy a weapon, but I think he should have bought something for Yona to defend herself.

Yona wanting to learn self defense swordsmanship isn't a bad thing, but I think in the OP she's using a bow so I guess that'll be her main weapon, ah, Hak said that he'll only teach her how the use the bow for now.

LOL, seeing Hak shoot that bird was freaking priceless XD.

Yona's practicing so hard T.T

So Hak was a living moving target for Yona eh.

I just knew that Yoon was captured by the villagers XD.

Actually really enjoyed this episode. We got quite an advancement in the development of Yona's character. However, out of personal dislike, not digging how she still holds onto the hairpin -.- But man was I happy to find that this is the episode where she takes up a WEAPON and we see her actually STRUGGLE to use it. The scene with her showing how much she's progressed to Hak was great, especially when Hak asked her to shoot with the intention that the opponent was Su-won; her reaction: instant deadly kill (or at least face scar). That monologue as she starts with "I hate this side of you" was perfff. Hak's response sparked the inner tease in me. LOVE this episode.

The final scene with the Mist Village was short but awesome. Wonder what happened to Yun though, haha.

I do feel as though there wasn't much in terms on the progress of the story. Even then, I'm finally satisfied with how they are producing this series: more episodes = better character development = better plot <3

As always, can't wait for the next episode!
Yona x Hak ^^
May we all live awesome lives as the inner badass in Yona awaits ^..^

I'm really enjoying this series. It was a pretty feel-good episode despite the subtle downcast mood.

5/5

The mix of comedy and drama, is finally perfect, a fair balance that does not turn up their noses.
Narrative that gives us a further growth of the protagonists.
The icing on the cake, really beautiful drawings.
Animations of good standard. The opening shows again a different video and more tempting.
An anime really interesting, maybe something will come out of the ordinary.

So thankfully Yona's hair doesn't have to be long to be recognizable. :D I loved all the humor this episode and it was fun to see the three of them on their travels.

I really like the emotional side of Yona's development. Even killing a pig would be hard for me. I detest hunting, but for Yona to help fight this battle she has to come to terms with the fact that lives are lost if she wants to make things right with the others. I still felt bad for the pig and birds though. ;_; I hope she starts to get really good at archery!

I'm no fan of railroading but kinda decent episode.

Just one thing - when they say that if anything happens they'll meet by the great tree it's really not the good idea for this 'anything' to happen in the next scene... In fact, that's scenaristic amaterism pretty much.

Ohime-sama being capricious and selfish as always. If she really cared, she'd go bald or color her hair black.

"To protect you, i'm willing to take on a weapon." ... Really bitch ? You make it sound like it doesn't concern you. Besides, it's the other way around.
Resolve is drastically lacking.

Another nice episode. All these scenes between Hak and Yona are really funny, especially at the beginning when he put her in the bag. :D

Almost they got found by this soldier. So the training has begun. I think Yona is not really the type of human who can kill easily, but she has to learn it otherwise she won't survive in the future. But that was a nice shot of her when Hak mentioned Su-won. I'm curious about the next episode when they will finally meet the "White Dragon".

So far so good, I like the music and the overall tone, the characters are growing on me (and I have to say, Hak & Yona have woken my inner shipper with a bang :D), but I'm still not jumping on the 'what an amazing show' train. It's fun and nicely done, but not amazing... Can't wait for the first dragon!

Yona is finally starting to understand that killing might be necessary at certain moments.Liked the training parts.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Archery does fit someone like Yona. Still... Yona can train and master archery, but she also needs to train her mental state and not hesitate to kill someone! If she does all of these, I am sure she'll be a deadly badass that can't be touched (because her allies will protect her just like how she protects them from afar)

Yona is really determined about practicing archery which is great. I don't like to see her being helpless.

I like how they don't cheapen killing, and Yona does not say: "Oh yes I am gonna totally kill everyone!", but rather she just wants to be able to defend herself and live to fight another day.
Also, interesting how the new king is looking concerned at the corruption at the court of the good old king.

The first half of the episode was like eh. But the second half made it more spicy, I like that they had section dedicated to Yona's evolving philosophy on pain and that it ended on a cliff hanger where we finally et to meet one of the dragons.
