I love the way this scene in 221 recontextualizes the flashback from 169.

In 221, we see Yu-Hon’s A+ parenting skills at work.

“Son, I know you’re only six but if you don’t get a grip on your emotions everyone you love will burn alive and it will be your fault.”

Obviously there’s no child services in Fantasy Korea but damn there should be.

Anyway, back in 169, Hak flashes back to a memory of Soo-Won laying out battle tactics (that Hak is using in the present).

Hak is amused because the plan sounds too idealistic to actually work in the real world, but Soo-Won is dead serious when he says, “They’d choose the most devious option too,” because his father has been telling him since he was old enough to walk that Kohka’s enemies want to turn the country into hell and Soo-Won is its only line of defense. Yes, he’s being idealistic, but that’s only because he wants to ensure the fewest casualties possible in the war for Kohka that is coming.

#yona of the dawn #akatsuki no yona #yu hon is a maniac #sometimes the line about kohka descending into hell pops into my head randomly and i chuckle #because it's said to a little glassy eyed six year old who just wants to hang out with dad #oh wait i think i just made myself sad #i still think soo won's line in 156 is so indicative of his character #*169 #he always hits first and hits hard because given the opportunity he KNOWS his enemies would do the same #so he won't let them get the chance #it's also why he's so surprised every time hak (and yona) don't kill him #because his dad was like 'everyone sucks and wants your head on a spike kiddo'#and the two with normal loving childhoods are like 'wtf we just want peace and love on earth dude'#i guess there's no real meta here because the parallel is obvious but i just wanted to talk about my love for soo won #and how fucked up yu hon is MY GOD DUDE FIND THERAPY #personal
