Free Talk: Akatsuki no Yona [Chapter 120]

Free talk: Ah, the Ookami-heika no Hanayome 79 release turned out to be ‘for forum only’. After re-reading the rules again, it would seem that the public release is two weeks after the Chinese scanlation release. ^^; So, that is still delayed.

So my comments for this chapter:

Free Talk: Akatsuki no Yona [Chapter 119]

My comment for this series reading Sei is starting to feel like a never ending déjà vu. Didn’t I already mention that...

My comment:

Scanlation is already up at hisazuki’s tumblr.

My Comment:

Free Talk: Akatsuki no Yona [Chapter 116]

Translation and raws are out Kirakira Treasure Box. I guess I can already stop summarizing this series since someone is regularly doing translations and the Chinese scanlations are still delayed.

For my comments...

Free Talk: Akatsuki no Yona [Chapter 115]

I found AnY 115's  translation and link for the raws here so, there's no need for a summary for this chapter. I’ll just comment on it for those who want to read my views about it. =P

Free Talk: Blog Stuff regarding some series

Okay, from what I can understand from their post, according to Redfaces/红莲汉化组 [Chinese scanlator of Skip Beat, Akatsuki no Yona, Namaikizakari and Last Game], they had closed the registration to their forum. All their comics are prohibited from being reproduced, and I think they will release them one week after the sale date. But then, that might be only for the people in the forum since their recent updates are manga that has been sold in Japan a long time ago but it cannot be viewed publicly. Unless, they mean one week after they uploaded it in their forum. ^^;

Someone in baidu wondered if it is connected to the arrests of Chinese nationals who had uploaded scans on the internet. So I checked it out a bit. It is One Piece raws to Mangapanda on November 13. Then, The 7 Deadly sins for Red Hawk on November 18.

So, I’m not sure if the other Chinese scanlators will follow. For now, if no one/group scanlates in Chinese or it is already English scanlated/summarized, summaries for the mentioned series cannot/will no longer be worked on. Edit: I forgot that they are also working on Kanojo wa Uso wo Aishisugiteru with another group so I'm not sure if that is affected. Sorry, but this is beyond my control and I had always been dependent on Chinese scanlations for the summaries. ^^;;

I guess because of this, Chinese scanlation’s releases had considerably been delayed than usual these few months except for Redfaces. It is either that or they are just busy with other things. ^^; Anyway, we’ll just see how this goes. 

I still have a few pending summaries to do so I'll work on that in the meantime. 

Update on November 23: Okay, checking the Redfaces/红莲汉化组 forum, they got Akatsuki no Yona 115 and Namaikizakari 36 up yesterday, November 22th. So, we’ll wait a week to see if they’ll release it publicly or not. If not, it will be only for them.

Akatsuki no Yona [Chapter 114]

While holding Lili’s hand, Yona leads her towards the forest. Noticing that Lili is breathing hard and looks ill, Yona stops and asks if she is alright. Lili stammers her that she's fine. Yona suggests that they rest a bit. And, they rest for a while under a huge tree. Just then, a couple of fruits are thrown on Yona's head. Holding the fruits, she says that it's the tree's fruit. She thanks Ao for them. After biting into it, Yona says that this fruit shouldn't be poisoned..and it can give them a bit of moisture. She offers some to Lili. Lili is trembling for she had..that person.. While Ao brings down some more fruit, Yona assures crying Lili that if she didn't save her, then, she'll definitely be already dead. While hugging her, Yona says but right now, first forget about that and properly sleep.. While Lili and Ao are sleeping, Yona thinks that it is good if this world is that kind of world wherein people like Lili doesn't have to pick up arms and fight. While petting Ao, she wonders if everyone is currently worried about them and she really wants to see them.. And, Yona has fallen asleep. Soon, it is morning. The slaves are back to work on the Sei stronghold. Then a slave carrying a heavy sack falls down. The soldier A cracks his whip and tells him to quickly stand up. The slave tells him to wait, his body..already won't move so let him rest a bit. Soldier A tells him that there no time to make him rest for the orders from above is this stronghold has to be completed within a week. “If you won’t want a beating, then properly go to work..Gah ah ah.”

Akatsuki no Yona [Chapter 113]

While Tetora is looking over the town, Ramul reports to her that altogether there are 37 missing people from the accident that occurred a few days*, and it appears that they had carried off those who were injured. Tetora comments that it seems that Sei had dispatched a lot of spies into the nearby border town so continue to look for those fugitives. Ramul says yes. Then, looking surprised, he says, ah, this is. Tetora turns to him and asks what is it. She is surprised for it is scowling Jungi. Tetora immediately kneels and greets him. She wonders how come he is here right now. Jungi says that he came to investigate about Sei coming to Tousui so how come she is here. He also heard about what seems to be an accident that happened here last night*. “Answer me. That child.. where is Lili?” [<- *Okay, these aren’t my typo. Honestly, I’m a bit confused for at the first part, it does mean that the accident happened a few days ago, then here, it is last night. Later on, at Yona’s, it did happened a few days ago. ^^;] Tetora nervously thinks that if she mentioned where Lili is, Yona-Haku and others’ current whereabouts will also be exposed. Right now, everyone is posing themselves to fight..

Akatsuki no Yona [Chapter 112]

With Ao on her shoulder, Yona can hear some noise. She feels that her head is so dizzy and where is she. Lili calls out to her and asks what’s going on and what happened to them. Yona says that she doesn’t know but it seems that they are inside a carriage. The carriage stops. Someone calls for them to get down. The scene that meets them is people working to build a wall. There are also soldier guards there and they are carrying whips along with their sword. While observing the hard labor, Lili asks what’s up with this place. Then, they notice a man asking if the soldier just said that this is Sei. The man protests what’s going on for they were injured during the festival at Tousui and he heard that all of the clinics are already full so he went to the neighboring town. The newcomers are soon complaining why they are brought to Sei, they didn’t hear anything about this and immediately let them leave! The soldier answers their complaints with a swift crack of his whip. The soldier tells the man to back off for those who rebel will be executed. He informs them that they came to Sei as slaves. Their work is very simple and that is to build this stronghold [/fort]. Yona asks what’s up with that stronghold. The soldier tells her to shut up and they’re not allowed to ask questions. They are to just work quietly and don’t go thinking of other things.

Akatsuki no Yona [Chapter 111]

It is already evening when they arrived at their destination. Some firecrackers are exploded. Lili explains that tonight, the town of Tousui [guesswork from 燈水] is holding a festival for the water god. Every year, this side holds the festival so it is very lively with music and fireworks. Haku asks if this is the town where the Sei merchant appears as well as where people went missing. [<- for now, I’ll assume the merchant is one person] Lili confirms it. Then, a woman calls out to Lili. Lili calls her Tuvalu [圖瓦盧] who says that she came again. Lili assures her that it is alright for she also wants to resolve this issue together. Tuvalu tearfully thanks her. Lili introduces Tuvalu to the others as her acquaintance and one week ago, Tuvalu’s son went missing nearby. Yun asks how old is her child. Crying Tuvalu says 15 years old and he didn’t return after he left home. Lili says that even if she gathered intelligence but there is no clue. The border between them and Sei is very long and she still doesn’t know if this is related to the Nadai drug so she wants to start investigating here at Tousui. Yona says okay.

Akatsuki no Yona [Chapter 110]

At Water Tribe’s Sensui, a soldier tells Lili to please stay for no matter what please wait for Tetora and Ayura. Walking ahead of him, Lili says that those two will oppose her. The soldier says since it is like that, please give it up and do not insist on leaving for Sei. Lili stiffens when Tetora calls out that Lili still makes people unable to relax even for a moment. Just when Lili turns to face them and say that they are back, she is surprised to see the two are with Yona’s group. Outside the house, Haku and Jeha watch on as the others are looking at the pond [hopefully, there’s fish there or else, they are just looking at nothing. And, maybe Zeno is telling Yun to get that fish/es for food = free.]. Inside the house, Lili exclaims what’s up with that 3x. Tetora tells her that kind of words is truly disrespectful and they just so happen met the others and brought them here. Lili asks why they are here when she is about to go to Sei. Tetora says that is the reason why she brought them here. Lili asks if she asked them to help and that’s not good for this is Water Tribe’s problem. Tetora points for her to be quiet. She says that no matter what Lili says, it is too reckless for her to go to another country all by herself.

Akatsuki no Yona [Chapter 109]

So, Kouka’s generals had an overwhelming victory in the war around Gold Province and Nandai. The Nandai territory that was plundered during Iru’s reign had been returned. While walking through the corridor with Gunte, bored Taewoo says that the five tribes’ meeting is over. Gunte laughs and says that what he said seems like he just got out of school. Taewoo says that his feeling seems a bit good. Gunte says of course, because they are able to take back the plundered territory and rights to mine the back mountain. Taewoo clicks his tongue and says that it has nothing to do with the Wind tribe. Gunte says that it has since it is a huge thing for this time around, there is almost no damage to their side. The divided five tribes are united and this is something that wasn’t done during Iru’s reign. If Suwon didn’t ascend to the throne, the country would be destroyed during Fire tribe’s armed rebellion. Taewoo says that he knows that, he at least knows that this country needs that kind of king now. Then, Suwon, together with Judo and Shuku, call out to Taewoo and Gunte to ask if they are going back now. Taewoo just glance at him, bows to say that he’s leaving and quickly went down the stairs to where Hende is waiting for him.

Akatsuki no Yona [Chapter 108]

Looking at the sealed door, Yun wonders what he should do.. Then, he notices that there is a mechanism at the neck area of the stone statue. It must be because it is broken so the entrance closed on its own. He is nervous for he heard a sound over there though possibly, it is his imagination. He wipes his tears and decided to pull himself together as the genius bishounen. He heads into the forest. Yona wakes up and finds herself in darkness. Someone calls out to her. It is Shina. She goes to him and says that she has been looking for him. Shina warns her not to go here since it is very dangerous. He explains that there are intensely resentful spirits here who are attacking everyone. Right now, he cannot control his own body that Zeno also used his ability. Yona asks what is making him unable to budge [/fight back]. He tells her that it is the past Blue Dragons..that person conveyed it to him. A long time ago, this place was Blue Dragon’s village. One day, they were raided by bandits. At that time, the villagers took the baby Blue Dragon and ran off. The predecessor Blue Dragon is used as bait as he will seal them inside this place. So, he and bandits fought and got injured. They were also unable to get out from this place. And right now, that person is inside his body.

Akatsuki no Yona [Chapter 107]

Haku asks what Yun meant by everyone is gone, and what’s going on. Flustered Yun says that he doesn’t know. “Shina suddenly went into a rebellious stage that he started causing trouble by chopping down the tent with a knife. He would even go laughing haha. Kija called for an emergency meeting. Then, Zeno collapsed that I.. I..” With a deadpan expression, Haku tells him to calm down because based on what he heard, it seems that they are having some sort of fun. Yona tells Yun to tell things in order. Yun says ya..Shina became very strange.. Flashback: Everyone is surprised when Shina suddenly stood up. Yun asked how come the paralysis didn’t take effect. Zeno wondered out loud what’s going on, is it possible that because Shina’s power doesn’t have an effect on him so the opposite reaction is also comparatively small. Jeha said that means if Shina fights against Zeno, the two would be a stalemate. Zeno told Jeha that is correct and even if Blue dragon’s power doesn’t have effect but if he doesn’t get seriously injured, then it will simply be a staring meeting. Kija is surprised when Shina emits a pressuring power. This made everyone have a headache except for Zeno. Zeno shouted for Shina to stop. Shina asked how come he can bear that kind of power. Zeno told him that he’s too inexperienced since it doesn’t have an effect on him..

Akatsuki no Yona [Chapter 106]

Yun tells everyone that they’ll rest in this place today. Yun tells Haku to make some fire. Kija will get water. Shina will gather a large amount of firewood. Jeha will set up the tent. Yona offers to go find some prey. Yun is happy about this for it is a big help since they are running short on meat. Clenching her fist, Yona says to leave it up to her. Starting to leave, Yona says that she’ll capture a bear and come back. After lamely saying that Yona is so cool, Yun shouts for Haku to quickly stop Yona for his princess has grown excessively strong [/grown strong and overdoing it]. While making a fire by rubbing some stones, Haku casually says bear huh, it seems that the princess is hungry. Yun shouts that he is excessively calm. While Yona and Haku leave, Yun tells them that any bird-type is fine so don’t be reckless. Yona says okay. While Yun is thinking of what’s next, Zeno says that he’ll go to sleep so when the food is ready, wake him up. Yun grabs Zeno’s scarf and tells him to wait, he come and help prepare the dinner. And, actually it has already been exposed that Zeno regularly cooks. Zeno smiles and says, “Zeno--..” Yun tells him that acting like a spoiled kid is useless. With a stick on his hand, trembling Zeno says that starting this morning, his lower back is always aching and his head is also very painful. Yun tells him to shut up, you forever 17 years old.

Akatsuki no Yona [Chapter 105]

Munching on a fruit, Zeno doesn’t know how many hundred of years had passed for he has no way of counting it in detail. Then, he sees some birds. After feeding them some pieces of fruit, they flew away. He thinks that now, the power of the five tribes in Kouka is at their strongest. From time to time, there is civil unrest caused by fighting over who’ll become king. Even if there are some conflicts with other countries’ gozoku [/prominent clan = the powerful and rich families], but he no longer fight at the battlefield with a sword against the army just like before. People rely on what is known a physical body’s vessel and were born to study then returns to the sky. That is so-called fate [/life span]. He mutters that he’s saying things at random. Time’s passage is astonishingly hard that it once led to an intense frustration for him as if it is cutting into his body. At that time, it is the dragon’s medallion that caused his scattered and smashed heart to once again be at its stable and tranquil state. Probably at that time, the king was aware of his [Zeno] fate so he bestowed upon him his amulet. With it, Zeno is the one asking for the dragon god’s protection.

Akatsuki no Yona [Chapter 104]

And, it is raining in the mountain area. Zeno walks wobbly and slips down on the muddy floor. In a daze, he thinks that he is so hungry yet strangely enough, he obviously couldn’t die of hunger. He is already indifferent to everything and he doesn’t want to stand up again. It has been many years since they have parted that day. The people in the city started to feel disgusted with him to the point of dreading him because his outer appearance doesn’t change. So, he decided to choose the next successor and leave the royal city. Afterwards, he noticed a baffling thing. Even if White and the others aren’t around, he can feel still the four dragons’ presence [/breath] so he quietly searched out where he felt it. At that place, there is a group of people quietly living and offering sacrifices to the dragon. And among that people, is a young boy. Zeno is startled to see the young boy with the dragon’s claw for his right hand. He quickly turned to leave but the people saw him. Thinking that he is an enemy, one of them fired an arrow at him. Holding the arrow that hit his back, Zeno thought that the one standing there is the White dragon who he doesn’t know.

Akatsuki no Yona [Chapter 103]

So, Hiryuu passed away leaving the four dragons sad and crying in grief of losing someone they treasure. Whether it is because of the dragon god’s blood in their body that they are in grief or it is they themselves, they have no way of knowing. Zeno looks at the snowy sky. He waves to everyone to quickly come over for it is really a nice morning and they should leave while everyone hasn’t waked up yet. Going out of the palace, Green, together with the other two dragons, says that it is cold to death. Zeno teases him that he isn’t like a young man. Green tells him to shut up for he is the one who excessively hasn’t changed. Zeno just giggles. White asks Zeno if he really plans on staying at the royal city. Zeno smiles and narrates that even if Hiryuu has pacified the country, but there are small-scaled sparks of dispute that always flares up again. Even if the king has died, except for Zeno, the three dragons are always rushing about in resolving the dispute issues.

Akatsuki no Yona [Chapter 102]

[Free talk: Ah, I’ll be using the color as names for the first gen dragons because I’ll get their names wrong anyway if I base it on the kanji. ^^; For those who know, just mention it on the comments..hm..in case, they are mentioned again in the next chapter or something for future reference. Thanks.]

A man calls out to Zeno and asks him to please go and show his face to the soldiers at the training grounds because without a commanding officer, everyone don’t have enthusiasm. Zeno says that even if he went, he has no way of training everyone like White does. Zeno says that compared to him, it is more suitable for him [the man] to become the commanding officer so he’ll [Zeno] leave everyone to him. Zeno leaves as the man can only call out to him. Green calls out to ‘good-for-nothing’ and says that indeed he has no way of training the others because he doesn’t have any power. Zeno tells him to replace him in practicing with those guys. Green complains why he would help other’s people tribe in practicing, idiot. White tells Green that he’s really stingy for they have Tenryuu [sky dragon] blood which hold them together as brothers so properly be an older brother. Green complains what brothers, that really makes him sick. It is just that they so happen to be strangers who drink the dragon blood, that’s all.
