It is said that the Kingdom of Kohka was founded by Hiryuu, the legendary Red Dragon. To protect their brother, four other dragon deities gave their powers to four warriors. The White Dragon's power is incredible strength in their scaled right arm. The Blue Dragon's power is the ability to paralyze someone by looking into their heart. The Green Dragon's power is the ability to jump great distances and deliver destructive kicks with their scaled left leg. The Yellow Dragon's power lies in its indestructible body and quick regenerative abilities.None of this really matters to Yona, the only daughter of Kohka's current King, Il. Because King Il loves her dearly, Yona has lived a very sheltered and pampered life. Truth be told, Yona's only concerns are about taming her wild red hair, getting her bodyguard, Hak, to take her seriously, and one day marrying her beloved cousin, Su-won.This peaceful life is upended on her sixteenth birthday when Su-won kills her father and frames Hak as the murderer. Now that the palace is hostile territory, Hak flees with Yona to his hometown of Fuuga. During their stay, they learn that a priest who lives nearby could potentially help them. When they meet him, the priest tells Yona a prophecy related to her and her country's future. He advises her to find the four dragons from Kohka's founding myth, for not even Hak can protect her on his own forever.Determined to live and fight, Yona and Hak begin their journey to find the dragons and keep Kohka from falling to ruin.Yona of the Dawn (暁のヨナ, Akatsuki no Yona) is a fantasy shōjo manga by Mizuho Kusanagi. It began serialization in Hana to Yume in 2009, and is currently ongoing. Viz Media is in charge of the English release.Studio Pierrot produced a 24-episode anime adaptation, which aired starting in October 2014. Funimation holds the license for the anime's English home video release. It is also available for streaming on their website and Crunchyroll's.

Vold assumes that Yona and Hak are a couple and nearly reveals such to Tae-Woo and Han-Dae, only for Hak to cut him off and say they aren't lovers. Justified in Vold's case, since he'd just witnessed Yona and Hak's Forceful Kiss.

Heroic BSoD: Yona suffers through one when she saw her father being murdered by the man she was in love with. It takes some time and with help from Hak and the Wind Tribe to break her out of it. Hak also suffers one when he sees Soo-Won for the second time since the night of Il's death. It culminates in a Unstoppable Rage that Jae-Ha, Kija, and Yona have to break him out of before he kills Soo-Won and gets himself arrested or killed.

Love Potion
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_14a8974a
comment
Love Potion: In a side chapter, the gang come across a scale claimed to belong to the "White Dragon Warrior" that when made into a potion can cause the drinker to fall in love with the first person they see. Yoon decides to make a small batch to see if it has any worth and hilariously more people than intended end up under its effect. First Jae-Ha has a small taste and gets SUPER touchy-feely around Kija and even starts kissing him, then Shin-Ah and Pukyuu get some poured on them and they start stalking Jae-Ha. Finally, poor Kija accidentally drinks what's left of it and his feelings for Yona get amplified to an intensity that terrifies him thinking he'll assault her. Thankfully, the effects don't last long.

Badass Adorable: Yona grows to be as lethal as she is lovely. Zeno too, beneath his ever-present smile, is possibly the most lethal member of Yona's entire Badass Crew. He is incapable of dying and becomes completely invulnerable when he has regenerated enough, as well as being gifted with a high jump ability, super-strength, and increased stamina.

Afraid of Their Own Strength: Shin-Ah is terrified of using his eyes since he can paralyze someone to death with his power and has. This seems to afflict many Seiryuu. At one point, Kija becomes less than sober and starts to fear his own power.

Died Standing Up: This happens to Neguro in chapter 143, which is even entitled "This Body Is Unyielding." A bit later, after reflexively throwing his comrade out of the path of an arrow, he falls from the knock-back, but had that not happened, he would have remained standing. In fact, even then, His. Joints. Don’t. Move.

 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_19d06ef7
comment
A Father to His Men: Or more like a mother to her crew. Pirate Captain Gi-Gan is just like a strict but caring mother to her men. This extends to Yona too. Mundeok is shown to treat many of the younger warriors and citizens of Fuuga as his own family, which earns him great respect amoung his soldiers. Notably averted with Kan Soo-Jin. In his madness, he wanted to send his army to their certain death to make him king and ended up being killed by one of his men with tears in his eyes.

The Stoic: Although it is hard to tell due to him usually wearing a mask, Shin-Ah is this, although, his Troubled Backstory Flashback shows that he used not to be (he could even make the mask’s eyes cry) and even now he has moments of being Not So Stoic. Then there’s Ayura, who is nothing but expressionless and calm, even when angry.

In the Back: Drug lord Hiyou had no problem stabbing Tetora from behind, not caring if he could have hit his own men. Later, another of his men slashed Yona's back. During the Xing arc, a partially brainwashed soldier stabs Yotaka in the back when he is speaking to some people. Later on during the same arc, Princess Kouren receives an even dirtier slash to the back. Both get better, unlike Mizari, whose chest wound was made in the same spirit, since he was imprisoned at the time.

Royals Who Actually Do Something

comment
Royals Who Actually Do Something: As the next king Soo-Won plans to restore their country to its former glory, and as we can see with what he planned when he "plays" with Geun-Tae. The entire "game" not only boosted morale to Geun-Tae's troops, but increases his tribe's economy by the jewellery Soo-Won had all the players wear for the match and the tea that was served during the game are now known and spoken of. On the other side, Yona, who only recently started to become aware of the difficulties that the inhabitants of Kouka face daily, helps the people in need that she encounters. She begins doing this in Awa, even volunteering for dangerous jobs and taking out the Big Bad of the arc herself. Afterwards, she simply continues to do more in this vein. Tae-Jun is directly helping the poor villages in the Fire Tribe lands and gradually earned the respect of the villagers, his soldiers, Yona, and even his brother, Kyo-Ga. Lili actively investigates the drug problems in the Water Tribe's territory, by making foreign contacts and pursuing leads herself. Both of Xing's princesses are very, very active, especially with war on the horizon.

Self-Harm: Hak curls his fingers into a wall so hard they bleed while talking to Suwon in an effort to stop himself from lashing out. In Zeno’s backstory, it is found that he has a history of doing this for various reasons, from a Self-Mutilation Demonstration, to trying to deal with the reality of his powers, to activating said powers. He still does the latter in the present, which even Jae-Ha has trouble responding to.

Mayfly–December Friendship: It's revealed that Zeno is the original Ouryuu and therefore much, much older than the rest of the gang. This also qualifies as an Intergenerational Friendship.

I Just Want to Have Friends: Shin-Ah wished to have friends ever since he was a young child, but he was an outcast in his village, hated and feared by everyone. When he joins up with Yona, he wonder if Ao would have smiled knowing that he actually made friends.

Death of a Child: In chapter 29, officers from Awa beat up a kid until he stopped breathing. A child is killed by bandits in chapter 49. Mizari, who was only sixteen dies by the end of the Xing arc.

Holding Hands
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_27074b46
comment
Holding Hands: In chapter twenty, Shin-Ah leads Yona out of the dark tunnels of his village and back to the safety of her companions this way. In chapter sixty, Hak and Soo-Won do this as children as they navigate the busy streets of Hiryuu castle's town. Soo-Won even comments that it felt like what he thought having a big brother would be like. In chapter 111, Hak leads Yona through a crowded festival and back to the others this way. This ended up triggering her Crush Blush, as she had just experienced a Love Epiphany regarding him the previous night. In chapter 131, after Kouren's plans for war with Kouka begin to seem inevitable, Hak does this to comfort Yona.

What's Up, King Dude?
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_272b4fce
comment
What's Up, King Dude?: Zeno towards Soo-Won, to whom he addresses as "mister king guy." He has also taken to calling Yona "Little Miss". The only royal he addresses as "your majesty" is Hiryuu. Jae-Ha addresses Yona very casually as "Yona-chan", which she doesn't mind. However, when he does the same with Vold and Princess Tao, Vold does mind.

Prince Charming
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_27ebe639
comment
Soo-Won and Hak are a classic example. Soo-Won is a princely, Cultured Warrior with a talent for war strategy, while Hak is a roguish, prodigy warrior and certified Badass Normal easily able to fight alongside the super-powered Dragon Warriors. However, neither seem terribly interested in romance or sex (with one exception on Hak's end).

Oblivious to Love
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_2848e7d2
comment
Oblivious to Love: Yona, Yona, and Yona. She is particularly oblivious to Hak's not-so-indirect hints, although this obliviousness does appear to be unfeigned. Even once when she begins to return his affections, she still believes he remains at her side out of loyalty and nothing more. Later, Hak puts and end to that, however, Yona is genuinely dense when it comes love, especially to affections directed at her. As the series progresses, Hak becomes this as well. Although in his case, it's lampshaded as a product of having been a Hopeless Suitor for so long (referred to In-Universe as "the ill effects of one-sided love"). To be fair, it is only with regard to Yona, but it is quite severe, considering chapter 153 among others. Soo-Won is shown to also have this trait, even worse than Yona. To despite how obvious her long-standing crush was, he needed her to say it outright and it still took him a while. Actually, this seems to be a trait of the present dynasty, if King Il is put into consideration. (Yona's thus-far unnamed mother, Yu-Hon, Yong-Hi, and Joo-Nam have not really been described as of chapter 150.)

Disappeared Dad: Quite a few characters have this. Shin-Ah’s birth father is never mentioned, nor are either of Jeaha, Yoon or Hak’s parents (though Yoon and Hak find surrogate father-figures in Ik-Soo and Mundeok, respectively). Of course, Yona, Kija, and Soo-Won’s fathers are dead.

Beauty Equals Goodness: Played with. While the main cast are either handsome or beautiful, the equally handsome Soo-Won was the one who murdered Yona's father. Decent-looking and Jerkass Tae-Jun started out very self-centred but eventually Took a Level in Kindness. On the other hand, there’s also the psychopathic example of Mizari—who can be rather cute when he's not wearing his Slasher Smile—and the very clearly evil Hiyou, who's a bit of The Dandy and described as youthful-looking.

Damsel out of Distress: Both Yona and Lili begin as Distressed Damsels, usually due to fear and shock, and then, through Character Development, become damsels out of distress in spades, and when the situation doesn’t allow for that, they become defiant captives. At one point Yona even becomes a Decoy Damsel (along with Yoon) to stop a bunch of human-traffickers.

Older Than They Look: Kija doesn’t look like he’s twenty and frequently forgets that he’s older than Hak. Yun-ho, the wife of Earth Tribe's general, is 25 years old, yet she looks like she is still fifteen. Zeno is immortal and thus stays in the body of a seventeen-year old, though he looks even younger than that. He eventually had to leave the capital as its priest, because people began to notice his youthful appearance always stayed the same. Princess Tao is actually nineteen, but looks younger than Yona.

Final First Hug: Kija's only interaction with his father and predecessor: when he was born and his father noticed that his own son was his successor, Kija's father scratched his back leaving quite the set of scars. As a result, Kija could only speak to his father with an escort and, only when Kija sneaks into his father's room to see him on his death bed, do they actually touch each other. This also doubles as Died in Your Arms Tonight.

Unrequited Love Switcheroo: Played with with Hak and Yona after chapter 110 and onward.

comment
World's Best Warrior: Hak is claimed to be the strongest soldier in the kingdom, having earned that title at a young age. It's to the point that he might actually be stronger than the Dragon Warriors themselves; he kept up with Kija when they took out some bandits with little to no issue despite being heavily injured at the time. When trying to kill Soo-Won, he easily brushes aside two foot soldiers and General Joo-Doh, and most likely would have killed Soo-Won had Jae-ha, Kija, and Yona not stopped him.

Anguished Declaration of Love
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_361a1d26
comment
Anguished Declaration of Love: Hak does this in Chapter 152, only replace "anguished" with "angry" and you’ve pretty much got the picture. Well, to be precise, it starts off anguished but becomes angry due to Hak’s frustration with Yona being so dense. More recently, in chapter 174, Yona, barely conscious after the ordeals she faced during her kidnapping by the Tully Tribe, thinks of Hak and says out loud that she loves him... while Hak is conveniently carrying her to safety. The look on his face says it all.

comment
Blessed with Suck: Shin-Ah's eyes, once activated, are hard to control. If he uses them to any effect, the effects backfire on him and he collapses, to counteract just how one-sided it is as an attack. Zeno's immortality has a few layers of this: he never gets sick, he's still seventeen even after around two thousand years, he has a Healing Factor, and any really substantial injury causes his body to regenerate as impenetrable dragon scales. However, he's also outlived his wife, all of his friends, and his loved ones; people are uncomfortable with the way his appearance never changes; and he has to go through a lot of debilitating pain and injury before his body is strong enough to put up a fight. Furthermore, even he's disgusted by the unnatural way his body refuses to die, no matter how many times he's dismembered At one point he states that he's fairly certain he'll still be around after the end of the world.

Curb-Stomp Battle: Anyone fighting against Hak or the Four Dragons will result in this, especially if all of them are involved. Similarly, General Gun-Tae, all of the strongest members of the Wind Tribe (personally trained by Mundeok), and Xing’s Five Stars tend to do this, although not to the same extent. In the past, the original four dragon warriors and Hiryuu used to pull this, minus Zeno, at first.

comment
Twice Shy: Yona and Hak, once their feelings are mutual. Yona was too afraid to confess because she's known Hak for so long and she is convinced he'd never see her that way. Hak wouldn't confess because he simply lost hope and expectation of her ever returning those feelings. Even after Soo-Won was no longer a factor, he didn't want to further disrupt Yona's already precarious life by confessing, so he refused to admit it out loud even to himself for a long time. He finally snaps and tells her in chapter 152.

How Dare You Die on Me!: Yona tells Hak a variant of this when he attempts to convince her to leave him for dead, surrounded by soldiers, injured, and dangling from a cliffside: Chapter 75 has an amusing example:

Elemental Nation: Downplayed. While the provinces/tribes of Kouka are named after the elements (Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Sky) and their leaders' appearances somewhat evoke the colors associated with these elements, there is very little magic in the world in general.

Imaginary Love Triangle
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_3e8a368e
comment
Imaginary Love Triangle: Hak seems to think Yona still keeping Soo-won's hairpin is a sign that she is still in love with him. However, while Yona may still have some complicated feelings toward Soo-Won, romantic love is no longer one of them. It is possibly the reason he doesn't react at all to her not-so-subtle hints about her newfound feelings toward him. In chapter 152, Yona overhears the Wind Tribe talking with Hak and joking about a supposed fiancée. As it turns out, it was an arranged marriage from when they were children, and had been dropped years earlier. Hak's "fiancée," Ayame, is even dating someone else entirely (Saki), and the whole arrangement seems to just be a running joke within the tribe now. However, Yona doesn't stick around long enough to learn that and ends up brokenhearted at the revelation.

Human Pincushion: This happens to Zeno, as he is impaled by several swords both in a battle to protect Kouka hundreds of years ago and presently in a battle to protect his companions from rampaging soldiers. He gets better. Neguro willingly meets his end by being shot with tens of arrows, after receiving a presumably fatal arrow wound to the chest protecting Kouren.

Parental Substitute: Mundeok took Hak and Tae-Yeon as his adoptive grandsons. Ik-Soo more or less adopted Yoon, who was an orphan living in poverty. Ao, the previous Seiryuu, was the one who raised Shin-Ah. Gi-Gan is like a surrogate mother to her pirate crew and anyone who becomes part of it, no matter how briefly.

Crawl along a dangerously high cliff where one false move means certain death? Tremble and cry in fear while trying not to be flung to said certain death by high speed winds? Okay. But Yona will get those herbs, even if she has to do it a second time. In fact, Yona tends to take on this approach a fair bit after she Took a Level in Badass.

First-Name Basis: Shin-Ah was the first of the Dragons to start calling Yona by her name and not "your highness" or "Princess." Afterwards, the others asked her if they could do the same too. Subverted with Hak, as Yona specifically requested him to continue to refer to her as before so he wouldn't forget that she is the daughter of King Il.

comment
Badass in Distress: This happens to Hak repeatedly, especially when he fell off a very tall cliff with Yona and made sure to cushion her fall, usually it’s due to a One-Man Army not being quite enough when also protecting someone, so he ends up biting off more than even he can chew. After she Took a Level in Badass, there are a few times where Yona’s new found strength isn’t quite enough. This also is inflicted on the Four Dragon Warriors during the Xing arc, wherein they are beaten up and imprisoned without receiving any treatment. They managed fairly well considering, but it was still very tough on them.

Important Haircut: When Yona and an injured Hak are surrounded, Yona is captured by Kan Tae-Jun, the son of the Fire Tribe's general, as he held her by the hair. After seeing Hak dangling from an impossibly tall cliff and realizing she was too weak to do much if anything, she cuts her hair, freeing herself from her enemy, the last link to her old life, and taking the first step to the badass she will one day become by trying to pull Hak up, ultimately jumping off the cliff to save him. It grows back as time passes.

Happily Adopted: Most of the main cast has this one way or another: Hak and his little foster brother, Tae-Yeon, were adopted by Mundeok, and it’s really clear that this was a good thing for all three of them... and the entire Wind Tribe. Yoon was also sort of adopted by Ik-Soo, and the two cry when they part (although it’s temporary). And Ao was the only parental figure Shin-Ah had, and, to despite Ao being somewhat rough, Shin-Ah was very happy was while this lasted. Jae-Ha was picked up by Gi-Gan, more or less. It certainly was better than his pervious situation.

Ignorant of the Call: Shin-Ah didn't know about the Four Dragons and was told all his life he was cursed instead. When he met Yona and Kija he had no idea what was going on. That said, to despite his lack of knowledge, he immediately recognised the other warriors properly (even at the young age of three or four), meaning that his instincts are really good; he just didn't know what to make of seeing another dragon warrior.

Wham Line: Starting from chapter two, this series has quite a few of them, beginning with Soo-Won’s declarations that he killed King Il and then to Hak, saying that he could ask Yona since she witnessed it. Kija’s brief explanation about the origins of the huge scar on his back definitely qualifies. "It is not my desire to sit upon the throne." From Soo-Won of all people. "I am the previous King Il's child, Yona." It's the first time Yona admits this to someone outside of the Happy Hungry Bunch and she says this to Kouren, the crown princess of an enemy country who has her friends held captive. That she was willing to spill the secret of her parentage shows just how desperate she is to keep Yoon and the Dragons safe. In chapter one hundred 41, "Now I understand why Uncle Yu-Hon could not become king." from Yona to Soo-Won, who adored and seemingly still adores his late father Yu-Hon. It's one of the first times Yona managed to shake and garner an emotional response from Soo-Won with only her words.

Good Scars, Evil Scars
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_4efc4fae
comment
Good Scars, Evil Scars: The series has more examples of "good" scars than evil ones. For the heroic characters: Son Mundeok has scar over his right eye (he IS an elderly war hero) and Kija has a set on his back (it’s explained in his backstory). While not heroic per-say, there’s also Neguro of Xing’s Five Stars whose face has three very prominent ones. The morally grey Han Joo-Doh has one on his jaw (it actually seems to relate to his Hair-Trigger Temper, since its shape resembles a bulging vein). For the villains, there’s only Hiyou, who is rather obsessed with the scar on his forehead, which becomes worse after Yona adds to it. Bizarrely, characters such as Hak,note  (only in the manga; the anime adds the long and prominent scar across his chest he received from Tae-Jun's soldiers in chapter nine) Shin-Ah, and Jae-Ha apparently lack any scars to despite all the injuries they endure during the series (Kija also never gets any more; this is justified with Zeno alone); also Yona never seems to get any to despite some considerable injuries (it could be that Kusanagi-sensei simply doesn’t bother to draw them, however).

Wrong Guy First: Just about the most extreme example of this you could get.

In swoops Hak to the rescue, and after a long break of emotional healing, Yona begins her second love.

Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Hak stands at a fairly impressive 6'1, while Yona stands an entire foot shorter and without half the muscle. Geun-Tae is a rather tall and bulky warrior, while his wife, Yun-Ho, is very petite. On the villainous side of things; Ying Kuelbo and his wife Yoo-lan have an even larger size disparity than the previous examples. Yoo-lan is the size of any average-to-small woman, while Kuelbo has to be breaking seven feet tall.

Single Line of Descent: Averted. The villages of the Dragons are more or less all descended from their respective Dragons, and a maximum of two people can hold the Dragon's power. Those two people are not necessarily related; Kija is the son of the previous White Dragon, but the Blue Dragon village treats it as a curse that will strike any child even if the previous Dragon does not reproduce, and the previous Green Dragon implies that he's not the father of Jae-Ha.

Body Horror: Shin-Ah and Zeno's powers have strong elements of this. Shin-ah's powers manifest as horrific visions of dragons eating the victim alive and Zeno's powers cannot fully activate until he's been completely mutilated. His body will literally resew itself together no matter how fatal the injury he receives is.

Tears of Joy
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_506ffa51
comment
Tears of Joy: Yona sheds some in chapter 92 after being able to make Hak laugh again after he hit his Rage-Breaking Point in chapter 91. Later, in chapter 110, Yona returns to the room she shares with Lili in tears because she was so happy that Hak expressed earnest affection for her. In chapter 124, Yona hugs Lili while crying in relief that she's okay after she was nearly hung by the Sei army. In chapter 152, Yoon, Kija, and Jae-Ha all do this on hearing Hak’s affection for all of them, especially Yona… which are stopped by a particularly shocked silence from something else he says. After nearly dying in a fire and lamenting never confessing to Hak, Yona busts into tears upon waking up safely in his arms in chapter 175.

Mark of the Supernatural: Kija's right hand is a dragon claw and Shin-Ah's eyes have red markings underneath them. Jae-Ha’s foot also has this, not that he shows it under normal conditions. Additionally, whenever Zeno's powers are active, he gains scales for a time.

comment
Not What It Looks Like: Yona and Yoon find Hak at a brothel. The reason for this is because he was dragged there by Jae-Ha, who disappears before Hak can explain the situation fully. Potentially making things worse from Hak's perspective is that Yona, Oblivious to Love as she is, defends Hak from the others and says that if he wanted to go to such a place he can just say so.

Jumped at the Call: Kija was ready to join Yona the moment he see her, justified as he was raised to aid his master, and as a Dragon he has the physical urge to do so. Further justified in chapter 101, if Zeno's explanation is on target.

Innocent Fanservice Girl: After briefly reuniting with Soo-Won unexpectedly, Yona was in such a daze that after she spilled some porridge on herself she started unbuttoning her outer shirt in front of everyone. Hak was quick enough to cover her with his jacket… and charge the "audience" viewing fees.

AlternateCharacterInterpretation
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_54f999c
comment
Alternate Character Interpretation: There's a lot of this In-Universe, primarily with respect to authority figures. The most obvious case is King Il. Yona always saw him as a loving, if somewhat ditsy, father. Soo-Won believed him to be the murderer of Yu-Hon and unfit to be king. Several regular citizens regarded him as weak and a coward due to his pacifistic nature. Hak remained loyal to him even after death and knew that he was no coward (after seeing him grab a sword blade with his bare hands to put a stop to needless violence). Similarly, Yu-Hon, Soo-Won's father and Il's older brother is another example. Within Kouka, he is generally seen as a war hero and a better candidate than Il to have been king. Geun-Tae harbours huge admiration for him, and Soo-won adored him as a child. However, Xing sees him as an Evil Prince who killed their defenceless prisoners during a brutal war of which Kouka was the victor. The enmity is so bad, when Soo-Won rose to the throne seventeen years later, Princess Kouren started immediately preparing for war. Yona herself, after learning this, is aghast at her uncle's actions, and seems to believe that this is the reason why her grandfather passed him over as his successor in favor of her father.

Actual Pacifist: King Il hated weapons with a passion and wouldn't even let Yona touch one. He also gave away large parts of land in Kouka to avoid war with neighbouring countries. Tao, the second princess of Xing, was more than willing to use her own body and presence as a deterrent from attempts on her sister's life.

Yona had unconsciously been doing so toward Hak for some time, often mirroring his smiles or intently watching other girls swarm him. This is pointed out to her in chapter 95 by the twelve year-old Kalgan, who wonders if she "likes that guy" since she watches him so often—the accusation prompting denial and a pretty intense Luminescent Blush from Yona.

comment
Kija and Jae-Ha can also fit this trope as well, but its more downplayed example. Kija is a polite Sheltered Aristocrat Pretty Boy while Jae-Ha is a smooth talking womanizing Pirate. However, somewhat subverted because at times Gija does tend to act more hot-tempered and violent in battle while Jaeha is more calm and cool who manages to keep his temper in check during tough situations. Besides, Word of God has stated that Gija is actually the most masculine of the dragon warriors. Also in terms of romance Kija is not really interested in women, but Jaeha loves to be around women and is very much interested in romance or sex.

Troubled Backstory Flashback: There's one for each of the dragon warriors. Shin-ah has a lengthy flashback remembering the short time he spent with the only parental figure and companion he had for only 4 of his 18 years, which was the previous blue dragon warrior Ao. Kija has a brief flashback about his father, who was the previous white dragon and how they were seperated until the day Kija's father died. Jaeha has a flashback about Garou, the previous green dragon, who was abusive and the closest thing to a family figure Jaeha had before meeting Gi-gan. Zeno has several long flashbacks about losing Hiryuu, the original other 3 dragons, and later his wife because his immortality left him outliving all of them. Neguro and Kouren have a brief flashback to a young Kouren gathering the decapitated heads of the soldiers Yuhon killed, Neguro being the sole survivor of the prisoners of war taken by Kouka.

Fantasy Counterpart Culture
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_57d43e40
comment
Fantasy Counterpart Culture: The series takes a lot of inspiration from ancient China and Korea, with some Japanese culture thrown in. In particular, the setting is loosely inspired by the Three Kingdoms of Korea period; the Kouka Kingdom is inspired by the Goguryeo Kingdom, while the neighbouring Sei and Xing are based on Baekje and Silla respectively. You can also see that the three kingdoms are located in a peninsula in the manga and that they almost have the same layout as their real-life counterparts. The Kai empire is likewise based on Ancient China (possibly Sui or Tang Dynasty). There are a few notable differences (e.g. it was Silla which unified the peninsula, with the help of the Tang), but even the crown Soo-Won wears during his coronation is a reference.

Adaptation Distillation: In the manga, Zeno's powers are revealed at the climax of an arc, which then segues into a flashback arc detailing his backstory, with a Framing Device of him falling asleep and dreaming after the battle. When his backstory was animated for a short, two half-hour episode OVA, Studio Pierrot skipped revealing it to the other characters, and instead used the extra chapter "From Good Morning to Good Night," about the cast having a drinking competition, as the framing device.note Minus the gag where Hak and Jae-Ha try to get Zeno disqualified when they realize his powers give him an advantage. The flashback happens when Zeno falls asleep during the drinking contest, letting the animators get to it faster while also giving the rest of the characters some spotlight.

Dying to Be Replaced

All Seiryuu are considered cursed monsters by their own people, who refuse to go near them or talk to them. It’s to the extent where Shin-Ah’s mother committed suicide when she learned that she had given birth to the new Seiryuu. Shin-Ah’s isolation was so complete, that he only had the pervious Seiryuu, Ao, as a companion, which didn’t last too long since Ao died when Shin-Ah was four years old. And let’s not forget that he didn’t even have a name.

The First Cut Is the Deepest: Yona's huge crush on Soo-Won and his subsequent betrayal left her with serious emotional baggage. In a non-romantic way, Hak also has this towards Soo-won. Since Soo-Won was the person he trusted the most, Yona believes that Hak will never be able to forgive him, and he has a bit of a hard time admitting how much his new companions mean to him because of it.

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_60547993
comment
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: By the time the present storyline starts, Hak had been in love with Yona for years. However, he refused to act on his feelings for her because he knew Yona was in love with Soo-Won, who was his best friend, whom he desired to be king, and he ultimately wanted both to be happy. Even after Soo-Won was out of the picture, he didn't want to further disturb Yona's way of life and ended up continuing to suppress it. And even after that, when he revealed his feelings, he told Yona not to feel burdened by it and later admits to Jae-Ha that he never actually intended to tell her—it slipped out. Kija decided a long time ago that he would support Yona with whomever she decided to be with. When it becomes apparent she has likely chosen Hak, he makes a point of not disturbing them while they are together. Also, Jae-Ha has always been the biggest supporter of Yona and Hak as a couple, despite his own attraction toward Yona. They are also the ones who take the lead in urging Yona to make up with Hak in chapter 152. Funnily enough, Yona shaped up to fall into this trope as well. She intended to someday release Hak of his responsibility as her bodyguard and stated that she doesn't want to get in the way if he "found someone important." This comes to a head in chapter 151, in which Yona overhears a conversation within the Wind Tribe about Hak having a fiancée. Although it's a misunderstanding and the engagement seems to have been called off years ago, it pushes Yona to decide to tell Hak he was free to leave if he wanted to.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: In the anime's first opening, besides the colour of their hair and clothes, the original Four Dragons don't share the same taste in clothing, weapons, or hair as their descendants. The first Green Dragon has the same haircut as Jae-Ha, but uses a polearm or staff instead of knives and wears Kouka kingdom clothes as opposed to Kai empire. The first White Dragon uses his claws, like Kija, but looks much rougher (Sleeves Are for Wimps, messy hair, and an open chest) than Kija (long robe and sleeves, straight hair, high neckline). The first Blue Dragon uses a sword like Shin-Ah, but looks more groomed (implied Prim and Proper Bun, well made clothing) compared to Shin-Ah (Pelts of the Barbarian in his giant wig and his clothes). There's almost no difference between Zeno and the first Yellow Dragon, because they're the same person.

Game-Breaking Injury: Yona receives one when she and Lili are running from the Sei army. Hak receives one on his side while leading Kouka against the Tully army. While he manages to get up and keep fighting, it's clear soon after that the pain and bloodloss is taking a great toll on him.

Hair-Trigger Temper
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_63b02752
comment
Hair-Trigger Temper: This is a running gag with the Sky Tribe General, Han Joo-Doh, since he does tend to jump straight to yelling whenever displeased or annoyed. Kan Kyo-Ga is often seen yelling at and criticizing his little brother, sometimes justifiably, other times not. Likewise Tae-Jun had this and was often shown barking orders and insults at servants and people he saw as "below him". He mellows out after his Character Development, so it's likely it was more of an act to fit in with his father and brother.

 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_63be4131
comment
Pretty Boy: Much of the male main cast are very attractive, usually straddling the line between this and Hunk, especially Hak and the Dragon Warriors (minus Zeno), this is frequently lampshaded. Soo-Won, most of Kouka’s generals, the original Dragon Warriors, King Hiryuu, and Xing’s Five Stars all fit this pattern as well.

Badass Normal: Although he is traveling with a bunch of dragon-humans, Hak is one of, if not, the strongest in the group (he’s AT LEAST on par with the dragon warriors, even when injured). He's also the only member of the group to have never been captured.

I See Dead People: Apparently Jae-Ha has to deal with this, as does Zeno; it only has come up twice, though. Oddly, Jae-Ha seems to be unable to see the spirits of Kija’s predecessors clinging to him, while Zeno can, but this could be a difference in the strength of their abilities.

 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_646407bd
comment
We Named the Monkey "Jack": Shin-Ah named his pet squirrel Ao, after his mentor and parental figure the previous Seiryuu. This leads to an amusing gag in the manga where Yona asks Shin-Ah where he learned swordsmanship. He replies "Ao," prompting Yona to picture the squirrel holding a knife. Shin-Ah thought the name didn’t suit Pukyuu even before Yona brought it up.

Manly Tears: Jae-Ha does this from time to time when touched, usually by something said or done by the Happy Hungry Bunch. Hak does once (they double as Berserker Tears), when he hit his Rage-Breaking Point. Ao also sheds a few because he knows that he'll leave a young Shin-Ah behind once he dies. And then there’s Lili, who, although female, shows this after she Took a Level in Badass.

Missing Mom
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_66dfe36a
comment
Missing Mom: Yona's mother was killed by a rebel when she was a child. An even darker example: Shin-Ah's mother couldn't accept the fact that she gave birth to the next Seiryuu, so she took her own life. Several other characters seem to have this (mostly unexplained), including Kija, Jae-Ha, Lili, and the princesses of Xing. Soo-Won’s mother, Yong-Hi is or was sickly, and so she never appears; her castle plays a bigger role than she does. Also, Hak and Tae-Yeon, since they were both adopted by the single Son Mundeok (how or why they were orphaned has never been expounded upon).

comment
Subordinate Excuse: Usually, Hak uses this when asked about his relationship with Yona, often stating his pay to be the reason he took up the job as her bodyguard in the first place. Of course, nobody besides Yona herself ever believes him when he does. In fact, she believes it a little too much. So much so that not only does she hold back from confessing to him, but she believes that she will someday have to set him free. (She eventually tries… and he remains by her side anyway).

In the end, when Hak flew into an Unstoppable Rage upon seeing Soo-Won, the two of them are the ones to stop him before he could get himself killed by the other side's guards. Furthermore, when Joo-Doh threatens Hak over the situation later on, they step in front of him protectively, both wearing a pretty fierce Death Glare. For all their banter, it's clear that the three of them are actually good friends.

Bishounen: Both Yoon and Zeno, since they look younger and less built than the rest of the primary male cast but are nonetheless considered attractive. Mizari also sort of fits this trope when not being a Creepy Child for once. And then there’s Tae-Yeon… In the flashbacks to their childhoods, Hak, Soo-Won, and the Dragon Warriors all fit this like a glove.

Dragons Are Divine: The four dragons (blue, white, green, and gold) are essentially gods that provided blood to create the dragon warriors in order to protect their master, Hiryuu, the red dragon who incarnated as a human and became king. Each generation produces a new dragon warrior of each type, except for Zeno, until such time as the red dragon's reincarnation comes looking for them.

Morality Kitchen Sink: While the Happy Hungry Bunch are some of the most heroic characters, only a few antagonists can count as purely evil. Soo-Won is an Anti-Villain, Kan Soo-Jin loves his family, and Princess Kouran of Xing is a justifiably concerned ruler of a neighbouring nation. Only a few, like Hiyou, can truly be called evil. Also, later chapters reveal that characters previously thought of as "good" weren't nearly as benevolent as previously thought.

Shocking Jae-Ha even more is the fact that this backstory isn’t even something Kija’s gloomy or concerned about, as Kija explains, to him, the scar is a mark of his father’s desire to serve Hiryuu and the only time his father touched him. In a flashback, Kija even says that he would be fine with the scar staying with him his whole life.

 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_78410584
comment
She Is Not My Girlfriend: This is a running theme for Yona and Hak, since Everyone Can See It. Yun asks Yona shortly after finding her and Hak at the bottom of the cliff if they're lovers. Yona says no. Yun pities Hak. Jae-ha asks Hak after Yona's senjusou test if they're lovers, to which Hak responds that she's merely someone important he has to protect. Vold assumes that Yona and Hak are a couple and nearly reveals such to Tae-Woo and Han-Dae, only for Hak to cut him off and say they aren't lovers. Justified in Vold's case, since he'd just witnessed Yona and Hak's Forceful Kiss. A serious example when Kuelbo asks, purely based on a threat from Jae-ha, if "the beast like lightning" was Yona's lover. Yona denies it, but he doesn't seem to believe her.

Lili shaped up to be one herself. She started out as a somewhat haughty, sheltered nobleman's daughter, but after seeing Yona's strength, she wants to be able to fight too.

 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_7870735b
comment
From Bad to Worse: Constantly interfering with several major events will eventually cause word to spread about you, as Yona and co. find out after Princess Tao specifically seeks them out at the beginning of the Xing arc. Likewise, once the dragons lose the anonymity that being "mythical" entails, they have a significantly more difficult time dealing with armies since the soldiers now know to target them specifically. This culminates in the Tully Tribe arc, which saw Yona, Jae-ha, Zeno, and Yun injured and captured, and Hak nearly killed in the ensuing battle with the Tully Tribe to get them back.

All Love Is Unrequited
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_7a82c3d2
comment
All Love Is Unrequited: The series has several examples. Yona was in love with Soo-Won, although he didn't seem to return her affections the way she wanted. Tae-Jun made it very clear that he wanted to marry Yona, but she turned him down several times and instead pursues a friendship with him after his rigorous Character Development. Then there's Kija and Jae-Ha, who both either have a crush on Yona or are starting to fall in love with her (possibly due, in part, to the dragon blood), however, she only see them in a platonic, almost familial manner. Lili's crush on the very Happily Married Guen-Tae is ill-fated and even she knows and accepts it. Hak has loved Yona for years, but she only had eyes for Soo-won through most of it. Later subverted, as Yona admits in Chapters 110 and 124 that she likes Hak and actually works up the nerve to kiss him in Chapter 137.

After-Action Healing Drama: The series has a few examples, because the characters sometimes get into desperate situations and do not always escape unscathed, which makes sense, since falling from an extremely tall cliff or fighting while surrounded and out-numbered will do that to you.

I Didn't Mean to Turn You On
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_7f533ea0
comment
I Didn't Mean to Turn You On: Early in the manga, it's a running joke that Yona accidentally does or says something suggestive toward Hak, leaving him ever-so-slightly flustered each time. This is later lampshaded in the "Stay Healthy" side chapter, in which Zeno reminds Yona of all the things she's said, as she covers her face and moans in embarrassment. Later on, once Yona begins developing feelings for Hak, he also tends to do this to her fairly often. Notably, she seems to respond the most to the sound of his voice close to her ear or to him using her first name.

Establishing Character Moment
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_7febc23b
comment
Establishing Character Moment: Hak's very first appearance, in which he claims there was nothing wrong with Yona's hair but rather her head, firmly cements him as the Deadpan Snarker he is. Not only that, it reveals his role as Yona's bodyguard and the casual manner of their relationship. Shin-Ah first appeared rescuing Yona, a stranger to him, from a kidnapper and helping her return to her friends. Jaeha's first appearance, is him defending a woman from getting harassed by an officers by high kicking him. Zeno's first appearance, in which he shows up out of nowhere because he smells food, offhandedly confirms that he's the Ouryuu as everyone else flips out, and accepts the offer to join the group before Yona even finishes asking, makes it very clear very early on how silly and spontaneous a character he is. Also sort of played with, in that while all the above is true, many of his strange acts (him supposedly smelling food that isn't even cooked yet, or him joining the group the fastest out of anyone) are actually clues that he's been following them the whole time. Much later on, Algira introduces himself by beating up a man who tried to kill a cat as an example of what people should be doing with what it was compared to earlier and scolds the guy for doing so, while messing up his own words.

Arranged Marriage
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_80621707
comment
Arranged Marriage: Invoked by Advisor Keishuk. He states that there were rumors that King Il was planning to offer Yona's hand in marriage to Hak and name him heir. Mundeok had an informal one set up between Ayame and Hak, which both of them have proceeded to completely ignore—Ayame even getting into a long-term relationship with another member of the Wind Tribe. According to Word of God, Soo-Jin and Iguni's marriage was arranged.

Legacy Team
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_811c156b
comment
Legacy Team: Yona is the reincarnation of the legendary king Hiryuu, who was the red dragon god incarnated as a human. He made Kouka kingdom in the antiquity with the help of the Four Dragon Warriors, loyal warriors entrusted with superpowers by the remaining four dragon gods. Yona eventually finds and recruits Kija, Jae-Ha and Shin-Ah, distant descendants of original dragon warriors Gu-En, Shu-Ten and Abi, respectively. Averted with the fourth dragon Zeno, who has Immortality and is one of the original dragon warriors who's simply lived the entire 2000 years between Hiryuu's and Yona's times.

Dysfunction Junction
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_820ac3c5
comment
Dysfunction Junction: The Happy Hungry Bunch all has this to varying degrees: Yona and Hak straight up suffer from PTSD after Suwon's betrayal. Kija mostly had a happy childhood, practically being spoiled by his village due his status as the White Dragon. But an extra chapter revealed that his father attacked and left a scar on his back when he was born. Consequently, Kija was kept away from his father for most of his life. He also had to deal with some very aggressive women, to the extent where he has some trauma. All Seiryuu are considered cursed monsters by their own people, who refuse to go near them or talk to them. It’s to the extent where Shin-Ah’s mother committed suicide when she learned that she had given birth to the new Seiryuu. Shin-Ah’s isolation was so complete, that he only had the pervious Seiryuu, Ao, as a companion, which didn’t last too long since Ao died when Shin-Ah was four years old. And let’s not forget that he didn’t even have a name. Jae-Ha spent most of his childhood chained by the villagers and guarded by the previous Rokuryuu so he wouldn't run away, not to mention said predecessor would beat him. Zeno due to his immortality, outlived everyone he cared about, knowing that he will never be able to follow them, ever. He had to watch all of his loved ones age sicken and die while he stayed as young as he had been when he first became Ouryuu He's also heavily disturbed by how inhuman his regeneration is. Yoon's parents presumably died while he was rather young, and he spent much of his early childhood alone an consistently on the verge of starvation until he was Happily Adopted by Ik-Soo.

Refusal of the Call: Jae-Ha tried to avoid Kija and Shin-Ah, knowing they probably were with their master and that he would have the urge to join them, despite his desire for freedom. However, the moment he met Yona, resistance was futile, and all his attempts were just delaying the inevitable, so he ultimately becomes Resigned to the Call rather than be forced into it.

Noble Male, Roguish Male
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_887ca31e
comment
Noble Male, Roguish Male: Soo-Won and Hak are a classic example. Soo-Won is a princely, Cultured Warrior with a talent for war strategy, while Hak is a roguish, prodigy warrior and certified Badass Normal easily able to fight alongside the super-powered Dragon Warriors. However, neither seem terribly interested in romance or sex (with one exception on Hak's end). Kija and Jae-Ha can also fit this trope as well, but its more downplayed example. Kija is a polite Sheltered Aristocrat Pretty Boy while Jae-Ha is a smooth talking womanizing Pirate. However, somewhat subverted because at times Gija does tend to act more hot-tempered and violent in battle while Jaeha is more calm and cool who manages to keep his temper in check during tough situations. Besides, Word of God has stated that Gija is actually the most masculine of the dragon warriors. Also in terms of romance Kija is not really interested in women, but Jaeha loves to be around women and is very much interested in romance or sex.

Anywhere but Their Lips: Hak presses a kiss on Yona's forehead a few times, even though there have been a few instances he was close enough to kiss her. It's implied that he believes that Yona still harbours unresolved feelings for Soo-Won and a kiss to the forehead is a safer route for him to cope with his feelings. Subverted by Yona in chapter 137 and again in chapter 175, when she gives Hak a Forceful Kiss. The second time, he actually reciprocates.

When Zeno drops his carefree and cheerful personality, it's a sign that something big or serious is happening. Especially in chapter 101 where he casually annihilates a squad of soldiers and reveals he is the original Ouryuu. Among other things, he will stop being a Third-Person Person.note  He will then opt for the Japanese pronoun "ore."

Didn't Think This Through: In the extra chapter "Please Excuse Us for Our Carelessness," after Ao/ Pukyuu accidentally fell into a river, Shin-Ah jumps in with Kija following right behind, neither realizing they didn't take off their clothes or how fast the water was going. Jae-Ha promptly rescued them with annoyance. Immediately after that, Jae-Ha tries to protect Zeno by fighting a bear. Zeno has to remind him later that he's immortal and Jae-Ha basically did it for nothing. In chapter 137, Yona notices that Hak seems extremely uneasy letting her travel without him. As a farewell, she grabs him by the hem of his cloak and plants a Forceful Kiss on him. This of course, did more to shock him than it did to comfort him and Yona later harshly admonishes herself for giving in to the impulse.

Betty and Veronica: Soo-Won and Hak, with Yona as our designated Archie, at first appear to follow this trope—right down to the Blonde, Brunette, Redhead colour-scheme. We have the gentle, kind-hearted, and fair-haired Soo-Won and the roguishly handsome, mischievous, and dark-haired Hak. It is, however, averted, when we find out our "Betty" isn't as sweet as he let on.

Take a Third Option
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_950bbfa7
comment
Take a Third Option: Toward the beginning of the series, between giving up and dying or spending the rest of her life in hiding, Yona decides to travel throughout Kouka. This later gains a very specific purpose, rather than vengeance or fleeing, she wants to help those in need within the country. Yona does this with regard to Soo-Won: while she hasn’t forgiven his actions, but she’s not about to allow herself to be swallowed by the impulse for revenge. Several characters come to follow that example, including Princess Kouren. (Well, Jae-Ha already tended to do this, as seen in his backstory.) Notably, in chapter 147, Hak finds himself unable to do this and wanting to kill those who harm anyone he cares about. On a lighter note, between simply dealing with Yona’s misunderstandings existing or simply explaining that her assumptions are not the case, Hak chooses to… angrily confess all of his feelings at the top of his voice (even the parts that had nothing to do with the matter).

comment
On the other side, Yona, who only recently started to become aware of the difficulties that the inhabitants of Kouka face daily, helps the people in need that she encounters. She begins doing this in Awa, even volunteering for dangerous jobs and taking out the Big Bad of the arc herself. Afterwards, she simply continues to do more in this vein.

comment
Sleep Cute: Chapter 52 provides an adorable image of most of the gang sleeping in pairs, Yoon with Shin-Ah, Kija and Zeno and Yona with Hak. The title page for volume nineteen shows Jae-Ha dozing under a tree with Kija and Shin-Ah asleep on his shoulders and Zeno and Yona on his knees. The next page has a sketch of Hak poking him while he moans about being numb from head to toe. When Hak falls asleep while the Hungry Bunch are shopping in chapter 109, Yona finds his sleeping face extremely adorable.

Rewatch Bonus
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_97926168
comment
Rewatch Bonus: Reading the manga knowing that Zeno is at least a thousand years old brings a lot of his actions in a different light. For instance, when the Kai army is attacking Saika, he claims that he knows a secret passageway because he made friends with people from the slums even though Yoon says that he never saw him do that. It's more likely that he just remembered it from when he was last there. Rereading the manga becomes even more amusing when you look for Ao/ Pukyuu somewhere in the manga panels. She's often seen reacting alongside characters, stealing food, offering her omnipresent peanuts and acorns to the ill or injured, tucking herself into clothes, and so on. Her gestures are honestly priceless. Yona’s change in feelings toward Hak seems a lot less sudden upon rereading.

Tragic Keepsake
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_97d54bb0
comment
Tragic Keepsake: An interesting case: Yona kept the hairpin that Soo-Won gave her during her birthday party... the same night she saw Soo-Won murder her father. She did this to remind herself what happened that night and from a reluctance to admit that the betrayal actually occurred. The moment she gives it up is significant, for it means that she has finally moved past what happened that night and moved on from Soo-Won. Shin-Ah’s mask actually belonged to the previous Seiryuu, Ao, his adoptive father. The "fluff" he usually wears, apart from being practical, is also a reference to him. The bells he initially wore tied to his mask were another example. Kija sees his scar in this way. He received it from the previous White Dragon—who was also his father—and considers it a testament to how much his father wanted to serve Hiryuu. He tells Jaeha that he wears the scar with pride. Zeno keeps the dragon crest on his headband which was given to him by King Hiryuu. Additionally, the unusual way he speaks and his typical mannerisms are intangible ones for his late wife, Kaya.

comment
The manga sort of begins to set one up for Hak in chapters 64 and 65, through a girl living in Senri Village named Aro. Her spirited declarations about how she plans to "jump him" even marks the first instance of Yona being outwardly bothered by Hak's Chick Magnet status. The trope is, however, subverted when Aro merely has to see the Longing Look Hak watches Yona with once to be convinced to give up on him completely.

Took a Level in Badass
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_9bcd82c0
comment
Took a Level in Badass: The most prominent example is Yona who went from meek sheltered princess to a woman who would practice her archery throughout the night, firing hundreds of arrows to become stronger (among other things). Yoon went from a self-described selfish boy to being a capable fighter and planner. Lili shaped up to be one herself. She started out as a somewhat haughty, sheltered nobleman's daughter, but after seeing Yona's strength, she wants to be able to fight too. Now, she’s usually a Badass Pacifist, impressing people with her words and courage (there has only been one moment where she deviated from this and she really had no choice).

comment
One True Love: Yona and Hak. Hak is absolutely devoted to Yona and her happiness, has never so much as looked at another woman and would plainly do anything for her. Meanwhile, Yona's own feelings gradually become more obvious as the series go on, though the first sign of her devotion to him is in the earlier chapters, where she specifically seeks out the Four Dragons so that way Hak won't die protecting her. Yona's mother, Queen Kashi, seemingly predicted Hak would be this for her daughter the first time they met, and asked him to protect her no matter what.

Foreshadowing
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: Regarding Zeno, there's a lot once you backtrack. All of it points to his true nature as the immortal, original Ouryuu from history, who followed Yona to see whether or not she was worthy of the Dragons' power. Zeno asks her point-blank what she plans to do, now that she has the power of the four dragons, whether she plans to take revenge against Soo-Won and restore herself to the throne, and when the others object that they don't have the power to do that, he's certain that they do. The four dragon warriors haven't been together since Hiryuu, so there would be no way for him to be so confident without having been there and witnessed their power for himself. He also recognizes people like Soo-Won and Tae-Jun, even though he should never have had the opportunity to meet them. He's been following Yona from the very beginning. There's a one-off gag where he refers to an old grandmother as "young lady." He's around two-thousand years old; compared to him, everyone's young. The Fire Tribe claims descent from the Crimson Dragon King, and uses it as justification to launch a coup against the ruling Sky Tribe. They're not really his descendants. However, one of the Dragon King's descendants did become king: Soo-Won. There are a few other examples, usually regarding what a given power will do, usually these are very subtle.

 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_9e943076

One-Man Army: Hak is widely known to be this. To wit, in an early chapter he fends off dozens of Fire Tribe Mooks nearly one-handed and keeps going after he is wounded with a poisoned arrow, which is noted to be capable of paralyzing a lesser man. When his powers are active, Zeno can genuinely take on an entire army single handedly, and he has done so more than once. All dragon warriors are capable of this, and most of those seen in the manga have been known to be able to take down ridiculous numbers of fighters on their own. In fact, Shin-Ah first did this at the tender age of four by using his powers.

Super Toughness: Kija's hand is extremely durable and can be used both offensively and defensively. The Ouryuu’s power is supposed to be this. He really is, but it takes a major injury to activate his abilities. Before that, Zeno only has a strong healing factor thanks to Complete Immortality. Hak to a lesser degree (see Determinator). He's been able to take a lot of injuries with little to no lasting damage aside from a couple scars, but unlike the above examples, he is still very much able to be injured.

Stunned Silence: In chapter 125, when Yona's feelings and the true origin of Yona's hairpin are revealed to Yun, Jae-Ha and Kija, they're so shocked they take a moment of silence. Not only because they now realize the depth of Yona's trauma, but also because they now realize the complexity of Hak's and Yona's relationship and a big part of the reason Hak has always kept his feelings a secret. On a lighter note, in chapter 152, Yoon, Zeno, Kija, Jae-Ha, Shin-Ah, and especially Yona share an extremely shocked silence when Hak angrily reveals his feelings to Yona.

Celibate Hero: Hak, with one exception. Despite being a major Chick Magnet, he tends to reject or flat-out ignore the attention he often receives from interested women. Kija in particular doesn't have much interest in girls, mostly because the aggressive advances of the Hakuryuu village girls frightened him off. That said, it isn’t as though he doesn’t like some. Although he is an Anti-Villain, not a hero, Soo-Won has no such interest, it would appear.

Kija decided a long time ago that he would support Yona with whomever she decided to be with.

Also, Jae-Ha has always been the biggest supporter of Yona and Hak as a couple, despite his own attraction toward Yona. They are also the ones who take the lead in urging Yona to make up with Hak in chapter 152.

Then he says that if they can't have the four dragons on their side, maybe he can get their powers and keep serving Kouren. Kouren looks appropriately horrified.

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Zeno appears to be this at first with seemingly careless attitude. In his first appearance, he crumples like a wet paper towel when Hak punches him, but while the punch hurt, Zeno's power would have healed it quickly. In his backstory arc, we find out that after Hiryuu's death, he functioned as a One-Man Army, staving off invasions all by himself. Algira. He's a strange, dorky guy with an obsession with cats and the tendency to tack "nyan" onto the end of people's names. He's also one of Xing's Five Stars—i.e., the strongest fighters in Xing, as the strongest among them.

Big Brother Mentor: Kija wanted to be this to Shin-Ah, claiming that he would offer guidance about being a dragon warrior and telling Shin-ah to refer to him as "big brother" right after he joins the group. Word of God mentioned that Hak now sees Kija and Jaeha as older brothers that he can depend on but won't never admit it. Jaeha in general makes it his job to give others his advice and listen to their problem if they need someone.

Red Baron: Hak is known by all as "Kouka’s Thunder Beast" and was known as "the Trump-Card of Hiryuu Castle." Later, Kija jokingly calls him the "Dark Dragon Warrior" at one point and Hak takes the joke and runs with it.

Bodyguarding a Badass: Despite her growth, Yona still needs bodyguards. Hak? Not so much, but she insists they protect him too (partially justified by the injuries he gets in volume three).

Scars are Forever: The visible scars in the series follow this rule. Notable examples include Joo-Doh’s facial scar, Kija’s (they cover less area, but are just as present), and Neguro’s set of facial scars (it is very easy to forget that the injuries are seventeen years old).

What Beautiful Eyes!: The Seiryuu's eyes are very beautiful to behold but his village is terrified of the Seiryuu's "curse" that anyone who looked upon those eyes would become paralyze and die (which wasn't entirely far away from the truth) so the Seiryuu always wore a mask to cover his eyes.

Dreaming of Things to Come: In the extra chapter "Sleep Tight Tonight" that took place before the events of the manga, Yona revealed to Hak that she had a dream of them leaving and running away from the castle. From what Ik-Soo said, the second part is what would have happened had they not met up with the Dragon Warriors.

Hak seems to think Yona still keeping Soo-won's hairpin is a sign that she is still in love with him. However, while Yona may still have some complicated feelings toward Soo-Won, romantic love is no longer one of them. It is possibly the reason he doesn't react at all to her not-so-subtle hints about her newfound feelings toward him.

Your Days Are Numbered: When the new dragons are born the predecessors slowly lose their powers and die. It happened to Ao and to Kija's father, with Kija and Shin-Ah fully knowing what was going on. The previous Ryokuryuu lived longer than normal, not dying until Jae-Ha was nearly a teenager, however, he took his anger at his inevitable death out on Jae-Ha.

comment
Cycle of Revenge: King Il supposedly killed Soo-Won's father Yu-Hon, so Soo-Won killed him... in front of his daughter (not that he noticed initially). Whether Yona will actually continue the cycle has yet to be seen. And Yu-Hon's death was directly after Yona was abducted as a child and not long after her mother was killed. There’s also the entire kingdom of Xing, whose anger a Kouka for the late Yu-Hon’s actions definitely goes in this direction. Later on, the priest Gobi deliberately manipulates people using this tendency.

Blood Knight: Hak, Mundeok, and many other members of the Wind Tribe enjoy fighting, but not war. The Earth Tribe's General, Lee Geun-Tae, really likes fighting and is more than thrilled when Soo-Won seemingly plans to start a war, largely because he feels that his place is on the battlefield. Soo-Won’s father, Yu-Hon, was this, very definitely so.

Sadistic Choice: What Keishuk's offer to Yona in Chapter 178 boils down to. If she accepts, she and her friends will have to go back to the castle where her father was murdered, which is being ruled by the man who murdered said father, surrounded by enemies and at risk of being manipulated for Su-won's agenda. If she refuses, not only will they possibly be hunted down by Keishuk's agents, they will no longer have Kouka's support and will be at risk to foreign powers that seek to exploit the dragons. She can't even Take a Third Option and seek political refuge with one of her allies, because that risks starting a Civil War. So, with great reluctance, Yona decides to take the physically and politically safest option and accepts.

Hurting any member of the Happy Hungry Bunch is a very bad idea with Zeno around. He has absolutely no reservations in activating his powers to defend them. Soo-Won acts as one of these for Hak. The thought of him tends to instantly sour his mood and the mere sight of him was enough to send Hak into an Unstoppable Rage in Chapter 91. Later chapters imply Hak himself is one for Ju-doh.

Weirdness Magnet: Inverted with Kija, as far as evil spirits go... sort of. As Zeno explains in chapter 101, the succeeding generations of Hakuryuu warriors long to serve Hiryuu a bit too much, becoming something of an evil spirit. Instead of being possessed, Kija has accepted all of them and their desires making them actually repel lesser spirits and follow his orders. It helps that his father and predecessor seems to be keeping the others from getting out of hand.

There Is Only One Bed: Happens with Yona and Hak in chapter 159, when they're visiting Saika Castle. They're placed in a separate room from their companions and said room has only one bed for them to share. There's an extra layer of Unresolved Sexual Tension due to Hak's recent confession and the fact that Tae-jun's staff simply assumes they're not only a couple, but an intimate couple, giving Yona a certain perfume that's supposed to entice a man in bed.

Strong Family Resemblance
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_c5fe6c81
comment
Strong Family Resemblance: Tae-Jun and his older brother Kyo-Ga. The differences are extremely subtle: their bangs, eye shape, chins, and the presence of a mole on the centre of Kyo-Ga's forehead. Add their father to the picture, and you have quite the family resemblance.

The Nicknamer
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_c83cd6b8
comment
The Nicknamer: Hak calls Kija "White Snake" and Jae-Ha "Droopy Eyes." The way he addresses Yona could also be considered a nickname since he uses "Hime-san" instead of the more formal "Hime-sama" used by Kija. Zeno calls none of his companions by their names. Yona is "Miss," Hak is "Mister," Yoon is "Lad," and he calls the other dragons by their dragon titles. The sole exception to this are King Hiryuu, whom Zeno addresses formally, and Kaya, his wife. Argila likes to tack "nyan" to the ends of the names of people he's fond of. He also insists on calling Vold "Voldopus" (except for once when Vold saved some cats and he tries to call Vold "Vold-nyan" and is interrupted by Vold's anger at the gesture). This appears to stem from his fondness for cats and hatred of octopi.

Hak to a lesser degree (see Determinator). He's been able to take a lot of injuries with little to no lasting damage aside from a couple scars, but unlike the above examples, he is still very much able to be injured.

Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: The first shocker comes right when Soo-Won impales Yona's father, King Il, with a sword. Kan Soo-Jin is stopped in his mad efforts to become king by being stabbed by one of his own soldiers. Zeno has been stabbed until impalation more than once, while taking on several foes in a fight.

comment
No Name Given: This was the case for many Seiryuu, only being called "Seiryuu," or "previous Lord Seiryuu." Shin-Ah was no exception until Yona named him. Thus far, the only named Seiryuu warriors are the first generation, Abi, and the current Seiryuu, Shin-Ah. The other ones who appear lack names. Shin-ah's immediate predecessor, Ao, simply took the word "dragon" out of "Blue Dragon" once Shin-ah was born. "Ao" is how the kanji character for "blue, the "sei" in "Seiryuu," is pronounced when it's written by itself, instead of in a compound word.

Insult of Endearment: Hak calls Kija and Jae-Ha "White Snake" and "Droopy-eyes." At first, they were meant as genuine insults. However, as time went on, and the three of them became Fire-Forged Friends, Jae-Ha and Kija began responding to the names normally. Yoon has been known to refer to the Dragon Warriors (plus Hak) as "beasts" and "monsters", usually in exasperation but always with affection.

Spoiler Opening: The anime's first opening already revealed who the Four Dragons were. The manga has this to a lesser degree by briefly showing Yona after she Took a Level in Badass before commencing with the story. If you watch the first opening closely, it's also possible to notice that while the previous White, Blue, and Green Dragons don't look much like their ancestors, the Yellow Dragon looks the same.

No Periods, Period: Averted in chapter 128, where Yona unexpectedly gets hers while eating dinner. It leaves her unexpectedly weak, and prompts her to smack Hak in the face when he gets too close. Fortunately, the girl acting as their host helps Yona cover-up and gets her away from the menfolk. This is further averted by Yona’s comment that her periods usually aren’t this bad.

Politically-Active Princess: Yona, as she fairly quickly decides she wants to help her kingdom when she begins to see just how many problems of poverty and corruption plague Kouka during her father's reign. Lili also does this, although she’s high nobility rather than royalty). She takes a far more active role in quelling the drug problems in the Water Tribe than her father, the Water Tribe general, does. There’s also both of Xing’s princesses, Kouren and Tao. They both take active roles—albeit, in opposite ways—at protecting Xing from Kouka's growing power.

Longing Look: During Yona's dance in chapter 65, Hak gives a sad one as he watches her. A woman who was earlier intending to jump Hak noted it was the first time she had seen such harrowed eyes and immediately gave up on Hak. Yona had unconsciously been doing so toward Hak for some time, often mirroring his smiles or intently watching other girls swarm him. This is pointed out to her in chapter 95 by the twelve year-old Kalgan, who wonders if she "likes that guy" since she watches him so often—the accusation prompting denial and a pretty intense Luminescent Blush from Yona.

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Shin-Ah was only known as the "Seiryuu," his birth parents didn't bother to give him a name, and not even the previous Seiryuu, Ao, who did care about him thought of giving him one (it seems that "Ao" was merely Shin-Ah's nickname for him from another Japanese reading of "blue").

comment
Vitriolic Best Buds: Hak typically enjoys to be The Gadfly toward everyone, but Kija seems to be one of his favourite targets. He also refers to Kija exclusively as "White Snake." Jae-Ha constantly teases Hak about his feelings for Yona, while Hak usually retaliates with snark or a swift punch. Hak also only ever refers to Jae-Ha as "Droopy Eyes." In the end, when Hak flew into an Unstoppable Rage upon seeing Soo-Won, the two of them are the ones to stop him before he could get himself killed by the other side's guards. Furthermore, when Joo-Doh threatens Hak over the situation later on, they step in front of him protectively, both wearing a pretty fierce Death Glare. For all their banter, it's clear that the three of them are actually good friends.

Intimate Healing: After Yona gets some thorns stuck in her hands, Hak pours honey over her wounds and licks the honey off her fingers (justified by the next page).

The Xing arc introduces us to Kouren, the crown princess of Xing, who proves herself to be an outstanding warrior.

Everyone Can See It: Everybody at the palace, save King Il, could see that Yona was head over heels in love with Soo-Won, who was also oblivious. It's obvious to most people that Hak has feelings for Yona, despite that he does his best to hide it. Later, it becomes very apparent to those around them that Yona and Hak like each other. It gets so bad that even an arc villain figures it out, while Hak remained oblivious.

Warrior Prince: Yu-Hon, Il's late brother, whom Soo-Won saw as a noble and dignified general leading the army's forces. Su-Won worshiped his dad and aimed to follow in his footsteps. Soo-Won, Yu-hon's only son is still even after he became king of Kokha. Gender-Inverted. with Yona's case a as she does fall under this trope. But as an Warrior Princess after some hard training she has become a wartrior in her own right able to fight with a bow and use her legs for kick attacks. Gender-Inverted. Xing’s crown princess, Kouren, falls into this trope. She's a Warrior Princess though as she is capable with both a sword and a bow, and she willingly places herself at the front lines more than once. In Zeno’s Flashback, King Hiryuu was this as well. He is shown out on the battlefield with his dragon warriors, wielding a sword with deadly skill.

In chapter 111, Hak leads Yona through a crowded festival and back to the others this way. This ended up triggering her Crush Blush, as she had just experienced a Love Epiphany regarding him the previous night.

Casual Danger Dialogue: Hak loves mouthing off during a fight and does this all the time with the Dragon Warriors and anyone else he's fighting along side. During the fights at the Sei fortresses, Mundeok has such an exchange with Geun-Tae. When Hak and Kuelbo finally meet in battle, they mostly egg each other on in a surprisingly casual manner.

From Nobody to Nightmare: Yona went from a spoiled princess unaware of what's happening all over the kingdom to one of the most dangerous figures who may have the chance of unraveling Soo-Won's reign. It's a good thing that Yona has no plans on getting the throne yet, but her influence has reached the point where Keishuk gives them an offer they can't refuse lest they risk a civil war.

Has a Type: An Lili, to her father's chagrin, has zero interest in Soo-Won; despite being 17, to her men are older than 35 and "wild". Granted, this is implied to be because Guen-Tae is her model of the ideal man. Tetora also shows this trait to a lesser extent, since she like guys who are willing to protect her. Subverted with Yona; who Hak firmly believed only liked pretty boys due to her longtime infatuation with Suwon. In side content, Yona herself admits to feeling confused about her "type", given the pretty wide gulf of looks and manner between her past and current crush.

Bash Brothers

comment
Bash Brothers: Hak, Kija, Shin-Ah, and Jae-Ha — and sometimes Zeno, but only if things become very dire and he needs to step in — routinely fight together and protect each other to take out large swarms of enemies. Kija even likes to consider the Dragon Warriors actual brothers, despite the lack of a blood-relation between any of them (Guen, the original Hakuryuu warrior, had the same thoughts). Similarly, Zeno and the other original dragon warriors, came to feel this way about each other, so Zeno views their successors as his nephews.

Supporting Harem: It's up for debate whether or not the series even qualifies as a reverse harem, but if it does, it also qualifies for this trope. Hak, despite his long-time status as a Hopeless Suitor, has a pretty clear lead in the role of Love Interest—getting far more ship moments and development than other characters.

Art Evolution: As the manga has been running for ten years, it's natural that the mangaka's art style has shifted since the earliest chapters. It's barely noticeable if you read the manga chronologically, however the difference is much sharper when comparing recent chapters with the first few volumes side-by-side, that said, the difference still isn’t as strong as it is in many other long running series.

Determinator: Crawl along a dangerously high cliff where one false move means certain death? Tremble and cry in fear while trying not to be flung to said certain death by high speed winds? Okay. But Yona will get those herbs, even if she has to do it a second time. In fact, Yona tends to take on this approach a fair bit after she Took a Level in Badass. Hak has this attitude when it comes to protecting Yona: he will defend her, even if he has been poisoned or has broken bones, he will fight until he collapses and then will get up and do it again. This is to the extent that he can keep up with the Hand of the White Dragon with broken ribs, which makes Kija wonder if Hak is a monster.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When Zeno drops his carefree and cheerful personality, it's a sign that something big or serious is happening. Especially in chapter 101 where he casually annihilates a squad of soldiers and reveals he is the original Ouryuu. Among other things, he will stop being a Third-Person Person.note  He will then opt for the Japanese pronoun "ore." Later on in the series, Yoon and the Dragons note that Hak is basically an inversion of the Stepford Snarker: when troubled, Hak stops being his usual snarky self.

Every Scar Has a Story
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_ea6abe17
comment
Every Scar Has a Story: Usually this is not the case for this series, but there are a few cases to the contrary. First, there’s Kija, who isn’t actually asked about it at first since Jae-Ha realized that it definitely came from the Dragon’s Claw; later, thinking that he accidentally did it to himself, he does ask, only to get an unusually pithy answer for this trope: Shocking Jae-Ha even more is the fact that this backstory isn’t even something Kija’s gloomy or concerned about, as Kija explains, to him, the scar is a mark of his father’s desire to serve Hiryuu and the only time his father touched him. In a flashback, Kija even says that he would be fine with the scar staying with him his whole life. The origins of Neguro’s scars shown in a Flashback, rather than anyone asking or him explaining, it still counts though.

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: The pirate crew in Awa consisted of former fishermen whose goal is to stop the corrupt Kum-Ji who participated in human trafficking. Yona and her group pretend to be bandits, who took control of the Fire Tribe's villages, though they don't pillage and plunder and only beat up the officers, who intend to collect heavy taxes from the already impoverished and starving villagers. It turns bloody when a village child then meets actual bandits and mistakes them to be as nice as Yona.

Digging Yourself Deeper: Jae-Ha wanted Hak to join his pirate gang but asked him by holding Hak's hands and telling Hak that he wanted him. When Hak naturally declined, Jae-Ha started hugging Hak, saying Hak was a handsome man and that they should continue their conversation in private. Hilarity Ensues. Yona in chapters 151 and 152, telling Hak that he could leave the Happy Hungry Bunch in order to go home to the Wind Tribe and to his "fiancée." She first tells him her Forceful Kiss was a greeting, then apologizes for it, then tells him he's free to leave. The next day, she spends the whole morning avoiding and pushing him away in an attempt to "stop burdening" him—hurting his feelings more and more in each attempt to allow him more personal freedom.

Undying Loyalty
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_f16da697
comment
Undying Loyalty: Hak has this towards King Il and Yona. When the former is murdered, Hak takes off with Yona and repeatedly risks his life in order to keep her safe. The Blue, White, Green and Yellow Dragon Gods were so loyal to Hiryuu, that they each gave part of their powers to four human warriors so that they would protect him in their stead. Said warriors also grew to become greatly loyal to Hiryuu, and said fealty was passed on generation from generation. This is also literal in the case of the immortal Yellow Dragon Warrior, Zeno, who spent thousands of years waiting for his King to be reborn. The Wind Tribe is this toward Hak. They consider his orders to be absolute over not only the king but the even heavens.

comment
Zeno is a Static Character up until about chapter 106, which makes sense, as most of his character development happened in the first two thousand years or so of his life. After the rest of the cast learns his true nature, however, he slowly starts being more genuine and less over-the-top wacky, although he never quite loses his silliness. He eventually becomes more honest about what he's thinking, and even confides in Yona that he isn't sure that he remembers Hiryuu all that well. In chapter 170, he actually gets frustrated enough to yell at Shin-ah and Jaeha for not being willing to hurt him despite being given explicit permission and usurping his position as oldest brother dragon, respectively.

Conditional Powers
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_faa23aef
comment
Conditional Powers: The Four Dragons' powers are limited to their distance to Hiryuu Castle, which is where the soul of King Hiryuu rests enshrined. The further they are from the castle, the less their powers manifest. This somewhat applies to Zeno too, as his regeneration is considerably slower outside the borders of the Kingdom.

Romantic False Lead
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_faa71569
comment
Romantic False Lead: The manga sort of begins to set one up for Hak in chapters 64 and 65, through a girl living in Senri Village named Aro. Her spirited declarations about how she plans to "jump him" even marks the first instance of Yona being outwardly bothered by Hak's Chick Magnet status. The trope is, however, subverted when Aro merely has to see the Longing Look Hak watches Yona with once to be convinced to give up on him completely. Soo-Won was a pre-series one for Yona. The interlude chapters that detail Hak and Yona's childhood imply that Yona had feelings for both Hak and Soo-Won, but for whatever reason, she only noticed the ones she had for the latter. It seems that there are a combination of factors for as to why these feelings for Hak took so long to surface, Soo-Won just being the most obvious one.

Team Pet: Ao (also called Pukyuu), Shin-Ah's pet squirrel. She’s a Borderline Action Pet since she was crucial in helping Yona and Yoon escape from their ropes and start their plan to attack the mercenary ships.

Living Emotional Crutch
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_fbd1aeb
comment
Living Emotional Crutch: Yona for Shin-Ah. She was the first person to reach out to him and harming her will unleash a feral, violent side of him that frightens him. As the story progresses, it's revealed that Hak and Yona are this to each other. It manifests in opposite directions; he cheers her up, and she calms him down.

Gondor Calls for Aid
 Yona of the Dawn (Manga) / int_fe5e40e2
comment
Gondor Calls for Aid: Tae-Jun lights the beacon of the Fire Tribe to signal that the Kai Empire is invading Kouka. This ends up delaying the Kouka invasion of Xing and cutting the invading force that Su-Won gathered for the invasion in half, having to spend 10000 soldiers to reinforce the Fire Tribe... problem is, there was no invasion, and it was just a ploy for Yona to be able to reach Su-Won with negotiation terms. Adding insult to injury, the Kai Empire ends up invading anyway, giving Tae-Jun an alibi to save face in front of his brother.
