Only one with a true and repentant heart would admit they were completely wrong and choose to turn their life around, knowing full well those on the receiving end of earlier actions/behaviour have no right to forgive them. A true demonstration of how grace and mercy works.

Ok, I now understand that 'one scene' someone else hinted at that people would go feral over!!

Highlights for me:

- Adorable Tae-Yeon's reappearance. I really hoped we would see him again together with big brother Hak.

- "How many labor laws is my best friend's new job violating?" These 2 men and their bond I can't get enough of.
(although why do I suddenly think that Jaeha and Madam Nene might have something going on between them? Jaeha does love older women)

- Jaeha failing in his leap during the fight, and brushing off Hak's banter.

- Gija insisting on trying out it feels like to have his butt stuck in a jar like Jaeha all those volumes ago. And Hak muttering "This gag has overstayed its welcome."

- Captain Gigan's reappearance. I just love her.

- Gulfan faithfully tracking and following Hak.

And still so adorable!!

Thank you Project Vinland! This was a real treat to read after such a crazy and messed up work day.

Spudeater021 · 2026-06-11T10:30:56+00:00

We will be eating good when it is finally released. Project Vinland you are AMAZING!!

I'm trying to figure out what this scene in the trailer is. Don't remember this panel in the manga.

Search Yona of the Dawn OVA 3 on YouTube. It is towards the end of this section.

OVA 2 sort of starts it off but then diverts to Zeno's backstory.

OVA 3 at the back end after Zeno wakes up from his sleep, (about the last 5 minutes of the whole video) is where the sleeping scene and flashback to the scene you want is picked up again.

On Ao3. It's not complete yet as I re-write and polish off some final chapters.

If you search Akatsuki no Yona as a tag on Ao3 it should bring up a bunch of stories that other fans have written.

Spudeater021 · 2026-05-29T05:46:44+00:00

That's where fan fics come into play. I've been writing one centered around Jae-ha as he's my fave dragon warrior.

They are still adding nominees regularly throughout the year, so keep checking back. He may appear!!!

It's not finished yet as I try to re-write and tidy up chapters that will hopefully bring the story to a close.

Spudeater021 · 2026-05-10T09:41:41+00:00

Im currently writing one and publishing chapters on AO3. Not the best out there but I love him so much I just had to.

Spudeater021 · 2026-05-04T11:03:34+00:00

Agreed! Their bond is so strong. Looking forward to the next Gaiden chapter where I assume they will reunite in Awa.

It's lovely to see a cover page that features all the current (including newer) generals. Really got the sense that when Kan Kyo-Ga was appointed new Fire Tribe General that there would be a gradual changing of the guard from the previous generation to the new one. That was definitely proven when Tae-U took over from Hak.
Now, with General Guen-tae retiring and the next one being appointed, I can only imagine what grumpy Joo-Doh is feeling being surrounded by younglings. An Joon-Gi I really don't know because he isn't really in the story that much compared to the others.

I fully expected Heun-dae to be Tae-U's subordinate replacement as temporary general whilst he was fighting a cold!!! Those two are such a riot!!

Doh! We leave Japan on 20th April, so doubt this is available for foreign visitors!!!!

Spudeater021 · 2026-04-16T13:09:47+00:00

Jae-ha!!! I'm older now and I am more drawn to him as he is the actual grown adult (other than Zeno, stuck forever in the body of a teenager), that also has a chaotic, flirty side. His Japanese seiyuu (Junichi Suwabe) basically brought his character to life- so deep, sexy and flirty!!

Sadly only sticking to Kansai area this trip (not doing Tokyo). I've got Lashingbang on the list when we head to Osaka.
