It's politics, always with what will bring the most benefit not ideals or a selected reged faith (〜￣△￣)〜
i disagree. he didn't have a political mindset but rather a biased and self-absorbed one. he doesn't wanna admit that yona has the capabilities to be a candidate to the throne cause his belief has always been directed towards soowon and yuhon. if shit didn't break loose yuhon without a doubt would've been king with soowon as an heir. he basically disregards yona's existence as a member of the main royal family (the branch that holds the throne). fucking bullshit but i get where he's getting at
That's right. But when u say if shit didnt break lose Yuhon would have been king; what do you mean? His father the king appointed king Il because yuhon was a maniac and killed all the priests coz of his wife. He wasnt deserving to be king to begin with.
yuhon was the perfect candidate before he met yonghi. although i can't really say everything would've been great had he not met her because that would've changed the entire story altogether. the reason why he became psychotic was because of his obsessive desire to protect his wife. doesn't really justify his actions, but it does give some sense. if there weren't so much misunderstandings with the priest, kashi, and il, he could've risen to the throne with yonghi and not shed a single drop of blood. really, his demise was all a big mess of awful timings and inconsistencies
Yeah but you cant say 'if he never met Yonghi' that part of him was always there. The point being that if he affected emotionally by something he goes berserk and is unreasonable and that isnt something good in a leader/king. He did meet yonghi and that part of him was exposed hence the reason why he wasnt made king. Then this guy went ahead and killed Kashi (yonas mum) because she was from that priests church or sect. He was killed as repentance for that so for them now saying they were right to take away the throne is wrong. Clearly so even more now as soo won is too sick to keep his stolen crown.
yes i can because i'm speaking in a perse sense. even though everything happened as so there are chances that it couldn't have happened because that's how stories work. but that's not my point. i focusrd on the what-if's of yuhon had fate been good to him cause he hell ass could've been a better king than il.
also the very concept of king il's death and soowon's revolution is to represent a grayscale within a plot. yuhon killed people out of emotion so soowon's conviction to kill king il and take the throne is wrong? so that means king il having had the throne is wrong as well. il isn't any different from yuhon because not only did he push his desperate beliefs of the crimson dragon king and kill his own brother, he's also allowed his citizens to perish by remaining as king. a man who draws blood is a dangerous ruler. but a man who chooses not to draw blood is a poisonous ruler.
so no. them saying they were right to take the throne is not wrong. because king il's decision to stay on the throne isn't right either.
I see your points and u make good ones but I just have a different opinion on it. By saying what if isnt really relevant because that is what happened. Even if king Il didnt kill yuhon like he did, what would have happened? Yuhon would have taken the crown from him by killing him himself eventually. By saying that it's likely yona would have still been awoken by hatred and revenegence and the red dragon within her would emerge still because that is the story. King Il believing in dragons was infact correct because that is what this whole story is about. It's like you are writing a different story one where king yuhon rules and his is a great ruler ok then what? No yuhon and soo won? Its not a manga I would read.
.. that advisor guy what did he mean when he said there was another candidate to be in charge if soowon cant (other than Yona) I hate his thought dialogue so much. He thought 'the only reason we involved Yona was to get the 4 dragons under soo won' that bastard how dare he. These are the very people who didnt even believe in the red dragon king and 4 dragons. I hope they sort this out soon coz its staring to feel abit itchy with how shes treating Hak. I know she did that coz she didnt want him to notice how sick soo won is.
