Asagi and the previous dragon guardian were obviously made to be mild antagonists. They really weren't meant for us to like, especially if we want the MCs to be together forever. One thing I dislike more than anything in manga is blatant manipulation with a malicious intent behind it. Even if the manipulation is minor, it still doesnt leave a great feeling behind, but I can't argue that certain manipulations regardless of intent are plot drivers for any decent story.
As much as I want to hate the Asagi and the previous dragon guardian for pulling this kind of "my life is more important then yours" crap, I can still sympathize with them. I can step back and put myself in their situation and honestly dislike them, but also feel bad for them.
Personally, if there ever was a second half of my soul; my one and only someone special. A person who I first died to meet, then was held by, maybe I even did something like the main character where I was stubborn, but died again so I could be with them. If we stayed together for hundreds of years sharing each others minds and bodies and happiness only to be told that my soul would have to vanish and I would die. I dont think I would handle that well, regardless or not if I was at fault for neglecting duties that lead to the outcome.
I wouldn't have it in me to manipulate a person for a life to life cost, but I would be doing everything I possible could to stay with that person. I can honestly say I would be selfish. I would be a crying angry mess. I would probably say things that would break my partner's heart so much, they would probably automatically want to default to unfair methods just to not see me breakdown, even though I would stop them because its not apart of my nature.
But can any of you really say that you would be okay if your one true love was saying things like "I love you...I don't want to die." Or "Please don't leave. I never wanna be apart from you"? Or maybe even then telling you their scared, or it tears them apart to think of them being alone with out you. Even if my fated partner told me they would die with me, I wouldn't be okay because their death isn't what I want. I want them alive and happy, but I would wanna be next to them also. Just thinking about the possibility of someone else with them getting all the love that they gave me would probably bring me to tears.
If I died and had to leave I would want them to forever be happy and healthy and if that came in the form of another person, then it is what is it, but it probably wouldn't make me any less hurt. All I'm saying is I understand Asagi and this lover. I dont have to like their actions, but I am still fully of sympathy and pity for them. （￣へ￣）
