Jae ha calls Yun cute and attractive... Damn right he is!

Ao came out of Yun's boobs. Cute!

Yona putting on a strong front while her shivering/trembling gives her away... What is new...

Yuri's hot. Wish she was one of the main girls alongside Yona and Yun :3

Next episode - can't wait for Yona's badass scene, even better than her glares!

Damn, I love the furious burning eyes of Yona. They are so kawaii and so strong at the same time.

Overall a good ep. Damn, I wonder how they are going to end this season. At least I am very sure that we won't see yellow dragon in this season that makes me very sad. :((

That was great. The infiltration was a success. Yona and Yun did good talking out the other captured girls in to helping them. Yun made some great sacrifices for the sake of Yona. That was a commendable feat for him. Yona with those burning eyes of courage and bravery. Wow! That cliffhanger was also good. Next episode looks awesome.

Yun's transition from female to male voice and back again in the span of a few milliseconds by Minagawa Junko.

In my opinion, that was the most impressive part of an already impressive episode.

Yona's quick thinking in the face of Kumji's interrogation was cool as well. Brains and brawn in equal measure.

Isn't he?
I did not read the manga.
To me, Suwon isn't a villain, he's one of the main cast, but with hidden motive.


He's just the villain of this Green Dragon arc. Soon he'll be dead but the story goes on, this season won't cover the whole manga (since it's still ongoing) so I think we won't see the next arc.
But yes, Su-Won is the main antagonist.

Yeah, I haven't read the manga. I doubt he'll stay alive, though. Unless they pull one of those annoying tropes of the bad guy switching sides for no reason.

While I enjoyed this episode and have been enjoying this arc, at this point I'm starting to feel like it's dragging and that we should be done and on to the next plot point by now.I feel like the war got stretched out because they're coming up against the end of the season and didn't want to start anything new, so it makes sense, but it's still not really working well pacing wise.

Also, dropping the bow and running in slow motion was straight up retarded.

Alright at this point it's about time I asked.

There are only 3 episodes left, which means this series is probably not going to end with Yona reclaiming the throne. There is still one more dragon left to find and convince to join them....

Wow that episode was SO INTENSE! Best episode of the series (thus far) imo. Their idea didn't work exactly according to plan, but they were still able to pull it off! I wonder what happened to Ao though.

Oh man, Yona's eyes sure are intimidating! But why did she drop her bowbefore she grabbed the fireworks? o.o

Only 3 episodes left, so either Yona dies or they have a second season to finish the series. I hope to god it isn't the former ;_;

Well, she is supposed to be the Red Dragon, so I'd think it would be weird if she didn't have any powers at all.

Every time I see those eyes of hers I feel like there's raging hot magma behind them. I can almost hear the rumbling of the earth...

It seemed like every time people saw that gaze they were stunned or otherwise thrown off balance for a little bit. It happened to Yam Kumji, so it wouldn't be unusual for it to happen to those guys. It seemed like they recovered and started chasing her just after she got the rocket. The real thing that bothered me about that scene is that she's supposed to have an injured ankle, yet she's really moving quick there. I'll just assume she forgot about the pain and it powering her way through it, because she's a badass like that.

lol yona dropped the bow and arrows, ran to yun, grabbed the fireworks, ran back to the candle and the whole time the mercenaries just stood there and watched. maybe they were just too petrified by yona's eyes and yona knew. she is the embodiment of the red dragon after all xD

yun was also awesome this episode. he really knows how to handle a situation. it was because of him that yona was able to successfully light the fireworks.

still, great episode. i really hope this show gets a 2nd season. it definitely deserves one

Oh yeah, Yona has the Red dragon's blood! It would be awesome if her awesome glare was connected to that. (well, I don't think it is, but it would explain why the mercenaries didn't do anything while she run and did all the work haha)

Please, tell me this is going to have another season. Q_Q

Episode that is somewhat distorted by doing good background that permeates the whole narrative, some points of the story are also a bit far-fetched when compared to the true reality.
Plot is not bad, but too simplistic. Drawings and animations good. This TV series is not bad if we take into account the plot and the characters, but the story can not be the same as their quality.

Yona's eyes are really something. I loved how she kept her calm, too.

Sinha in action made me laugh, he just hit them hot by standing still.

Yun was fab there, Yona's bravery is rubbing on him.

There are those eyes again. Yona has the prettiest, most passionate eyes ever. I wanted her to shoot someone, but as long as things work out for them. This is amazing.

I agree with people saying that her flaring stare seem more and more like a dragon power than just her being feisty. Is that like the power of a ruler, the power to command that intimates people when looked with anger or something like that?

Can we just say that yona bravery in this episode is amazinggggg!!! like the fire in her eyes ahhh i got so excited to see. like u dont get to see alot of brave female protagonist in anime. but yona totally steals it here!!! ahhhh cant wait for the new eps!!


What is this bullshit so many are saying about female characters and bravery? Is not rare at all. Anime are full of them. I don't know what the hell you people have been watching but:
Ghost in shell, Black Lagoon, Evangelion, Kill la kill, Ga-Rei: Zero, Blood+, Shingeki no Kyojin, Busou Renkin, Jormungand, Uchouten Kazoku, Kakumeiki Valvrave, Cross Ange, Hataraku Maou-sama!, Claymore, Vandread, Hellsing, Code Geass, Witchblade, Mardock Scramble, Shingeki no Bahamut, Fairy Tail, Toaru Kagaku no Railgun, Blue Gender, Murder Princess, Akame ga Kill!, High School DxD, Gunslinger Girl, Duurara!, Zetsuen no Tempest, Nobunagun, Angel Beats!, Rinne no Lagrange, Mai-HiME, Strike Witches, Bakuretsu Tenshi, Soul Eater, Mirai Nikki, Freezing, Madan no Ou to Vanadis, Highschool of the Dead, Blood-C, Fate series, Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom, Psycho-Pass, Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica, Elfen Lied, Canaan, Ookami to Koushinryou, Ergo Proxy, Seirei no Moribito,

Should i continue? Yeah i think i made my fucking point. And this are all strong female characters too not just brave. If it's just brave you can put even weak but brave characters(which is more like Yona currently is) and almost every series with a main female will be in it.

Gotta love the eyes in this anime. They're gorgeous. I think this is the first time I've liked the "fire eyes".

Yona has matured quite a bit, and Yun did excellent as well. That part at the end was a bit of a stretch, but I can live with it.

Very nice episode.

It was good episode with Yona taking initiative, being strong and everything but I would certainly do without some of those joke scenes.

And talking of fireworks... judging how close the ships were to each other, it wouldn't help them much as it really only depends on angle of holding where the firework ends.

Nice episode. My breath stand still for a second when I saw Yonas eyes, reminds me one the eyes in Bleach. Kumji was also scared for a second, extremely nice expression.

Yona and Yun getting stronger and stronger and they could encourage the woman to fight.

The conversation between Hak and the dragons was funny. :D

The fight has begun and of course at a really exciting point the episode must end >.<

I think it was shown enough at this point, that Yona does have some powers to do with her stare being felt by her enemies. We just don't get it confirmed yet. I was starting to think she has them when those instances were repeating with various people, when in the mountains you can say that the guy was weak-willed to get scared by scary Yona, but Kumji is not a weakling, still a girl makes him flip out, so he forgets what he was going to do with her.

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.
I agree with most of what you said. They did overuse the "intense glare", which is fine if it didn't so often affect the outcome of the situation, and pave a way out for Yona and her companion. Not only that, Yona's characterization is somewhat inconsistent because of that. The plot / story / moment required Yona to be fierce, but when it doesn't, she's shaking and all that. What was she suppose to feel then? Fear? Anger? Brave? Sympathetic? Or what? It's not just this episode, but the entire "pirate arc", Yona has been characterized accordingly to fit what Green Dragon supposedly believe in, which sucks because Yona, a lot of time, didn't feel like herself at all in this arc, but rather someone who's supposed to sway Green Dragon's heart.

Although I did cheer when Yona lit off the firework, that moment was just ridiculous.
