So your theory us that soo won will remain as king, and yona will be his shield, by being a shield, she'll restore balance?
Well, the prophecy say:
Darkness has fallen upon the land.
The blood of the dragons will revive once again…
And the ancient pact will be kept..
When the four dragons are gathered once again..
The sword and the shield which protect the king will awaken…
And the Red Dragon shall restore the dawn at last.
Yona is unquestionably the The Red Dragon.
And the sword and the shield protect the King. They appear as two different people in the prophecy. This could mean that Yona is not meant to be King. She is a God. She does not seek the throne, only to protect her country and people. In the prophecy, the dragons are not mentioned as serving the King.
I think, as a God, Yona is meant to bring balance to her Kingdom but not as a King, but as a force even greater.
That being said, the very first illustration in the manga is Yona wearing a big effing crown. So who knows!!
i said that soo won can either be the king or the shield depending on whether the red dragon and king are the same person or not, if they are the same person then yona is gonna be both (king and red dragon) if they aren't the same then soo won is probably be the king and he's gonna need a shield and a sword which will protect him
and maybe this means that soo won can't die yet bc he still needs to fulfill his role in the prophecy, I also think that hak is gonna play a big role in the prophecy (since he is the main character and all) and the red dragon already has the other 4 dragons to protect her, that means the king still needs the shield and sword....I wonder if the hack is gonna take in one of those roles...that would also help to restore the bond btw hak and soo won
Ooh interesting, I've read some theories, but yours is the best one I like so far XD
whatever happens, I don't care but I am concern about what Zeno said in the last chapter, that the illness is incurable? if it was why would the story give us a ray of hope? why introduced a new character??? please soo won can't die, only level characters die!!!! but I'm thinking about the prophecy from the beginning:
"When the four dragons are gathered,the sword and shield which will protect the king shall awaken,and the Red Dragon shall restore the dawn at last"
we're almost at the end so this is what we have:
- the 4 dragons are gathered
-the sword (I think is hak)
-the shield (so woon maybe? since they are getting closer?)
-now, are the king and the red dragon different people in the prophecy? we know that:
-the red dragon (yona)
but if the king is not the red dragon then maybe"
-king (soo won?)
and lest not forget about the woman who also has the same disease as soo won, I wondered if she plays an important role in the prophecy (maybe she can become the shield since yona saved her life so that gives soo won the title of "king in the prophecy?)
what do you guys think?
