Chapter 47 told us what we already knew, Tehir is a massive bitchhhh.
After finding out kimoto likes him, it fueled his ego and he gained his crown back. He starts sweet talking and seducing Kimoto and behaving how he did in the past.
Kimoto immediately realizes that Jin was right, and none of the concern or affection Tehir ever showed him was real, and that it was all Tehir's sense of superiority. Despite this, he enjoys Tehir treating him this way so he gives in and they have sex again. Afterwards, he talks to Tehir about how he actually HAD started building Jin a "prison" and that he could lock Jin in a virtual reality but decided against it because the current Jin was different from the past and seemed like a good person now.
Tehir cuts him off and says he has no interest in the current Jin because there's no point in punishing him as he is now. And he plans to use his crown/power to somehow bring the old Jin back, because he needs to see his smug face again. He then rolls over and asks Kimoto to explain why/how much he likes him. (The audacity of this bitch)
Kimoto crashes out. Starts turning into a bug and screeches about how he's gonna abandon being human. Then the chapter ends.
Real talk, I feel bad for Jin. Was born from a corpse then immediately taken away by some robot guy to be put through hell, fighting for his life. His sibling/kin hated him and treated him like a monster despite them being the same. Was thrown out, then had to alter his memories and personality in order to change and survive. Only to then be treated like a burden/hated by his new companion, who he then had to watch spiral into addiction and get their entire group killed. And when they finally meet back up and start planning for the future, Charin gets killed! And Jin is taken away by a group of people that can't see him as anything more than his past, and are/were planning on punishing him by forcing him into a coma and torturing him.
I just want Jin to be happy/feel loved for once . He may have flaws but he's the only character with the courage to do better, and the only top in this series who isn't a rapist.
Omgggg lol, time for some petty revenge on ya boyfriend neuta (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Alright guys, I got a crackpot conspiracy theory with barely any evidence to support it.
I think evil Jin "lost his memories" on purpose and made a new personality in order to be liked/accepted by others. And he modeled that personality off of Kimoto. (Maybe in an attempt to understand Kimoto better?)
When Jin was found he had a blade buried in his skull, seemingly made of his own blood. So an injury he gave himself to intentionally rewire his own brain, as Jin understood human anatomy freakishly well. He basically lobotimized himself on purpose. The new personality that emerged, imo, had striking similarities to Kimoto.
This could've been subconscious or intentional, but i think it was intentional. The new Jin was soft spoken, sweet, and intelligent. He also imprinted on Charin like a baby duck (the same way Kimoto did with Tehir) and hung onto his every word to the point of making himself dumb to make Charin happy.
Mild spoiler? But in a future chapter it's stated that Kimoto would have even killed himself if Tehir had wished it. These two viewed Tehir and Charin the same, and acted the same in regards to those feelings. Which is bizarre because evil Jin loathed the relationship Kimoto had with Tehir, as Jin was completely the opposite of Kimoto.
I kinda think evil Jin will make a return, but the two Jins will be like a split personality situation rather than Jin remembering and suddenly returning to who he was before.
that's a really satisfying explanation for the similarities between jinxcharin and kimotoxtehir, thank you!
Did you actually read all the previous chapters ? Because you're so off... Jin lost his memories due to Kimoto's blow to the head. Also, Jin didn't like Tehir manipulating Kimoto—not that he hated their relationship, he just didn't want Tehir to belittle or exploit Kimoto so he warned him many times about it (based on upcoming spoilers I discussed in another post).
Additionally, Jin liked Charin, but he never truly loved him (it was all one-sided from Charin's part actually, not Jin's) unlike Kimoto who was always head over heels for trash Tehir....
Kimoto never hit Jin on the head, he sliced part of his cheek off and then bit open his stomach. Neither of which would cause memory loss. Jin also states that he was aware he was thrown out/abandoned. And that he had a "mandate from the one before him" to learn to be human. Sounds like a message from his previous self to me.
It's also a fact that he was found with the blood knife thing sticking out of his skull, on it being the message about taking care of Jin. If Jin had lost his memories during his fight with Kimoto, why would he have stabbed himself in the head?
Manipulation and a sense of hierarchy was the foundation of Tehir's relationship with Kimoto. Saying Jin didn't like Tehir treating Kimoto bad, and saying that Jin didn't like their relationship is the same thing. Those two would not have interacted at all if Tehir didn't enjoy being "kind" to people he deemed inferior.
And regardless of rather you interpret Jin's feelings for Charin as genuine or not, their relationship still mimicked that of Tehir and Kimoto. Jin was absolutely obsessed with Charin to the point of dehumanizing himself, it was borderline religious.
Ok, i really want to give an answer to everything you mentioned that was inaccurate but there are too many things atp so i'll just focus on the essentials :
"And that he had a "mandate from the one before him" to learn to be human. Sounds like a message from his previous self to me." => The one who told him that he failed and ought to learn how to be human before evicting him from the airship was their teacher (the rhombus shaped figure, which we'll get to see more of in the next chapters btw).
"And regardless of rather you interpret Jin's feelings for Charin as genuine or not, their relationship still mimicked that of Tehir and Kimoto. Jin was absolutely obsessed with Charin to the point of dehumanizing himself, it was borderline religious." => I didn't interpret anything here. You are the one who suggested that "Jin viewed Charin the same way Kimoto did Tehir", so I responded that this wasn't really accurate, since Jin wasn't in love with Charin. That was not an interpretation on my part but what the author stated after being questioned by Korean fans about Jin's feelings following Charin's death.
Like, you're totally free to draw comparisons, but that doesn't mean they're correct. Jin followed Charin more in a puppy kinda way rather than viewing him in an overzealous or romantic way.
And btw, you said yourself that it was a "crackpot conspiracy theory with barely any evidence to support it", so there's no need to get defensive once someone presents you with the facts.
Anyway, I’m open to debate but since I’m no longer as enthusiastic about this story as I once was, I can’t promise that I’ll feel motivated enough to respond further, especially if confusion and misunderstandings continue to occur ~
Have a nice day tho ~
Eh? I'm not being defensive tho, I just think it's fun to talk about. That's why I posted the theory to begin with (￣∇￣")
If I'm wrong about certain things, that's fine.
I also wasn't aware the author talked in depth about character motivations in an interview. I keep up with the raws, but not with the author really since I don't have Twitter.
I expected Mr Na to be the ML when I first started reading, and I'm really glad he's not because I like Guk so much.
MC can do no wrong in his eyes lmao. And he's possessive ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Seeing how this series shares a world with "I can see your stats!", it's pretty clear that Amon and Gwen are both dragons and Na'in is a dragon mate.
What confuses me is why Amon is allowing Gwen's presence?? He surely realized he was a dragon earlier on when he was questioning Gwen about his scent. And if Amon knows Gwen is a dragon, then isn't the reason he's there obviously to steal Na'in? Why hasn't Amon attacked him or chased him away?
Most of us already knew but in chapter 44 it's confirmed that Tehir had a crush on Jin. Kimoto knew this from the beginning and admitted that it was the real reason he hated Jin so much.
It's also revealed that Tehir started moving around, studying and trying to better himself for a while after they found Jin. It upset Kimoto because giving Tehir the motivation to better himself was something he could never do.
I had been wondering for a while why we hadn't seen Jin and Tehir interact more since their relationship is so important plot wise. But now I'm thinking that it was Tehir intentionally avoiding Jin. Jin was not only his crush, but the only person he perceived as being his equal. He wants to show Jin a better side of himself, and doesn't want Jin to see how "pathetic" he's become. But, Jin had completely lost his memories and that must've been incredibly frustrating to Tehir, who wanted to prove himself.
The past few chapters have added so much to Tehir's character, and I'm very interested to see where the weird love triangle is going.
The next chapters seem so interesting but the official translation is on a 4 week hiatus!! I wanna cry .
Spoiler**
And those last scenes are so curious, it looks like Kimoto remembers Jin coming out of his own body. Maybe he's like his mother haha or brother, that would explain Jin's attachment to Kimoto.
I was interpreting that as them being born from the same corpse, almost like siblings? I guess we'll find out when chapter 45 releases
Ngl I think Tehir strong hatred for Kimoto is further explained in ch. 44 too. Like there's a multitude layer for his harsh and cold treatment of Kimoto like:
1. He thinks Kimoto is weak, equal to a bug be it metaphorically or literally.
2. Kimoto was the one that have seen all of him in his most vulnerable state. Tehir hates being seen weak and losing control of his y'know... Reason why he cursed Kimoto when he was bedridden
3. He's too prideful. Being helped and talked to like he's a child by someone he perceived to be weak hits a nail.
4. He's too broken to keep up with the facade if being kind to everyone.
5. Jin taking Kimoto's side and warning almost Tehir to not mistreat Kimoto because he likes Kimoto, must have added more fuel to his dislike of Kimoto.
Thank your for the spoiler cause I seen the raws and was confused. Then when I was translating the comments multiple comments mention Kimoto & Jin being possibly siblings/brothers. I surely hope the fuck not. I don't understand why the author would make them siblings. I honestly don't even know where the story is going anymore.
Until when is the hiatus? I cant wait anymore T-T
I believe from what a Korean commentator on the site I read the raw chapters, said that they are most likely brothers because of the fact that they were born from the same body. Kimoto always had a complex about being a “bug” while Jin was born more human-like so that’s why he was being a jerk to Jin. That and the fact that the person he liked obviously had a thing for Jin. but it turns out(from what the Korean commentator speculated) that Jin and Kimoto are actually the true powerful ones and Tehir is considered a fake powerful being. Anyways, this got me thinking that this explains why anything, like seeing Jin’s nipples, grosses Kimoto out because Jin is his sibling! And instinctually he is repulsed by the thought of Jin in any kind of way dog way. This also explains why Jin liked following Kimoto around when they were kids! Also why he got mad at Tehir when he openly looked down on Kimoto. Jin probably wanted to be close to his sibling and to protect him from people who would treat him bad! But now Jin doesn’t remember anything and it appears that Kimoto never knew back then and is now learning about this truth now int the recent Korean chapters. So I can’t wait for it to be translated!
Your right that tehir had a crush on jin but it’s more so the “other jin”.
Tehir have not been interested or attracted to our jin as of yet and I don’t think he’ll ever be unless our jin turn to the bad one
They easily could've made the professor just an older student and the story would've been the exact same. Why do authors want to force these uncomfortable age gaps/power dynamics
(￣∇￣")
The next series of flashbacks will probably show how he got his jinx and how he started sleeping around so much. What ya'll wanna bet he fell in love and had a nasty breakup like Jiwon?
Probably, especially since so far the creator has been using cliches and redoing what she’s done before.
Keith has more than proven his loyalty with everything he did, and has confessed his feelings multiple times. But Della hasn't given him any assurance in return and only continues to doubt him.
I'm hoping to see him miserable and yearning because they split, and confessing his feelings soon. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
