I gotta admire Yona's bravery this episode...same with Yun.

Being there in that type of situation along with the other women is something that is hard to endure. I like that fierceness in her eyes though as it shows how fearless she is. Action was alright this episode but those bastards attacking Yun was a pretty low point.

Good pacing for this operation. I can't wait to see what's next. Also about time Yona started using her bow. That training is paying off.

Her leg is hurt. Then the leader is interested in the princess for having red hair. Bishounen guy trying to protect her but got hurt. Her stare and her clever answer to his question if she's the princess!! The girls are nervous when hearing about they are going to be sold. The princess really grew up even though she still gets scared.

The dragons are worried, even Rokuryuu is.

The long hair girl, who stayed longest, is helping them out with their plan when seeing the princess still walking with hurting ankle. They are in pinch, though. Archery is being useful, and firework is up.

Three more eps. Oh, and vol.1 release date has been announced.

Kumji matches his reputation, seeing him in person and seeing how he acts.

Yun somehow too into his role. Yona's eyes being able to intimidate Kumji like that and smoothly come up with a way to get rid of any suspicion.

Despite spraining her leg and trembling like that, Yona is did a wonderful job to launch the firework. Yun's bluffing and the moment where Yona went to grab the firework was quite the tense moment.

"The night history is made" is quite the wonderful title for the next episode. The time it takes for help to come :O

I have to admit it, the series has slid down from one of my favourite to something ordinary and plain.

No offense.
It starts getting boring with all Yona's fiery death glare which shows up too often. One is epic, two maybe, but more than three is mehhh. It's like the only things she has with her are her stare and her exotic red hair.

I expect more from Kumji's character, but he seems like a flat plain rogue out of children's literatures. Or perhaps, it's the after-effect of watching too much Game of Thrones. I even compare Akatsuki no Yona with Juuni Kokki.

Two series are relatively alike on some terms. However, I find Juuni Kokki's main villain before the final arc to be more human like with more characteristics.

Yona escaped with a bow. She threatened Kumji's lackeys with a close shot and they taunted her for it.
I was expecting to see her shoot at one of their hands to state that she was no joke. But LOL no, with her death glare, they all panicked. Thanks! And even let her slip through the crowd, reached Yun's sash and lit the firework.

I'm so disappointed so far.

Is anyone going to talk about the fact that she dropped her bow and arrow, then ran to yun, and ran all the way back, all while no one caught her? She would have been within arm's reach getting the firework.

This episode could have gone a million ways; I wish they chose another route.

Those guards towards the end were the most slow moving lot I've seen in anime.

Any news on a second season? Are the sales any good?

That lord dude is a cunt bag. No, that's an insult to cunts. I hope Yona is the one to put an arrow through his throat.

I don't understand why the old lady don't want to kill the enemies. They are mercenaries, they offer their life in exchange of money. They know there is a high risk of dying and probably plan to flee if things turn shitty. If I was the old lady, I would particuliarly kill the mercenaries and let them go when they fuck off.

Yeon was really funny. Maybe that lord is into trap..? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yona is so cute and to those saying Yona's -fierce stare- is annoying, doesn't it correlate with her being King Hiryuu's descendant/reincarnation? Maybe Yona doesn't just affect her dragon bodyguard people. Maybe she affects the people of Kouka without any of them knowing of it. When put in that perspective, it isn't so annoying anymore. At least for me, aha.

You are quite literally the only person who thinks this though.

That stare she gave to Kumiji though. Holy shit I want that as my wallpaper.
Though he running through all the officials AND back was a little much.
But that firework was kinda far away from the pirates. I wonder if theres going to be a delay in them getting back up?

First off, can I begin with THANK YOU STUDIO PIERROT FOR NOT RUSHING THIS ANIME. I'm enjoying every episode this is awesome.

Okay, so Yona's glare at Yan Kumji was epic. It was so intense, I was amazed the artists could pull that off. As for Yun, he's one of my favorite characters, he's become really selfless and he's so clever. And the dragons and Hak are so BA.

Can't wait for next week!

I'm starting to think that Yona's glare is actually a superpower like the ones each dragon has, kind of a Khajiit's Eye of Fear, lol. It's the only possible explanation to her running forth and back to get the gunpowder and no one stopping her.

Episode was nice anyway.

Im kinda seeing that too. Especially since her glare forced Kumji to call it a day instead of further pissing him off.

Lol yeah gotta admit I didn't realize how silly the guards were in the manga...it's more noticeable in anime when guards aren't moving or are barely moving. That would be main gripe from this episode. Although it's not like these type of miraculous moments don't happen often in anime anyways :P

Idk about if manga got a significant boost, but the BD/DVDs aren't on sale yet, and I think they don't even have release dates out either.

I guess we all agree that it was a very unnatural scene.
Maybe we can fix it, kek.

>Yona aims at the guards
>One of them doesn't give a fuck and takes few steps forward
>Yona shoots his arm or anywhere non-fatal
>Guards freak out because of Yona's sheer awesomeness while failing to notice Ao taking the gunpowder and running at mach 20 towards Yona
>Yona takes the firework and runs, reaching the light and setting it off just before the guards catch her

That Yona glare is too badass for anybody! Kumji and guards experienced it firsthand. She definitely one of the best female characters ever!

Hak and Kija's face before jumping on Jae-ha and "defiling" him though.. XD Is he a masochist?

Those mercenaries were way too easy for Hak and the Dragons. The battle will probably finish in no time.
Btw, doesn't this guy look a lot like Sasuke? O.o


Yun was pretty awesome in his efforts to save Yona and Yuri. He's not so weak after all.

Good episode. Next one will be even better with some intense battling! Where's the second season announcement? >.<

Yeah that scene certainly could have been handled better, but let's go with the 'petrifying stare is more than just intimidating' bit. Other that it was a fantastic episode. I was so hyped for the pirates to converge on Yan's boat, I was cursing at the ED. Yun and Yona's development is not to be scoffed at, Yun especially came up big here.

I had seen it coming, considered this is an adaptation of Shoujou Manga. Though, never really expected Kumji to be 'VILLAIN THROUGH AND THROUGH'.

Kumji has got every aspect of Disney's villains ( or any other children's literatures' )
Beard - checked
Moustache - checked
Not handsome/beautiful - checked
Muscly stature - checked
Very abusive - checked
Corruption and immorality - checked
Treat his lackeys sh*tly - checked

I think the author just tried TOO HARD to make Kumji the ideal villain whom audience would not feel any sympathy with. And that's off putting.
