And I thought that the last volume of Hero Tales was emotional! I can get to talk about Ryuukou Mouten. When Ryuukou Mouten was introduced in the first chapter of Hero Tales, I recognized he'd be one of the most important characters in the story. Probably the deuteragonist, I thought. Probably the characters whose personality would be contrast Taitou's, I thought. Probably the And I thought that the last volume of Hero Tales: v. 4 Tales was emotional! Probably the character whose contrasting perspective helps the two men balance each other. Hero Tales: v. 4 the character who befriends Taitou and sticks to his side in an increasing story of friendship. And I was right in those areas. Pat myself on the back. But what I didn't expect was for Ryuukou's story to be so I how much Ryuukou Mouten struggles in this series. I admittedly didn't expect that this would happen, given how he's introduced. After all, at the start of the manga, Mouten's introduced as the disciplined, thoughtful, respectful, reserved, Lawful Good, stick-by-the-rules Hero Tales: v. 4 of guy. All things considered, Hero Tales: v. 4 to Taitou, he's got it together. This at first is a good means by which to show our protagonist Taitou has lots of maturing to do - that Taitou needs to act like an adult, learn how to control his powers, learn what he needs to do with his destiny because he Hagun. It's also a Hero Tales: v. 4 means by which to show two unlikely people coming to work together to form a powerful Hero Tales: v. 4. That's fun. Taitou and Ryuukou DO become a great team, one that understands each other, cares for each other, values each other, protects each other. Hero Tales: v. 4 very set-up of making him look "more put together" is what makes his growth arc so devastating. Oftentimes I see characters like Ryuukou treated as strong characters start-to-end who support the protagonist. They're the loyal companion, the second, that we always see in a good light. The protagonist overtakes their level in skills, but the two work together through the end. The character remains reserved, remains put-together, remains a positive presence at the protagonist's side. Yet here we are. Hello, Ryuukou Mouten. Great authors often understand that our strengths and our weaknesses are two sides of the same coin. What makes us weak makes us strong. What makes us strong makes us weak. And if he learns that the other side might achieve peace in the empire less destructively than Taitou who again, has always been the opposite personality to Ryuukou The trait that made Ryuukou Mouten successfully counterbalance Taitou's impulsiveness His strength And as his weakness becomes exacerbated Volume 4 gives us a complete unraveling and destruction of Ryuukou's graces. We see him join with Keirou and call him "Father. We see him stagger away from the palace into the most dangerous sections of town, where he's mugged. All the while, his face becomes more and more conflicted, more pained, more insecure. His adoptive father talked to him about how everyone makes mistakes, but what's important is how you overcome them. His romantic interest Rinmei talks to him of how what he needs to do, since he's realized he was wrong, is start over. And yet how can someone, in the agony of killing the man who raised him, believe that "start over" can ever happen? This confused, heartbroken man has made uncomfortable choice after uncomfortable choice. He wants to get things right now, but he's pulled himself into a ruinous pit of his own making. He's no longer the disciplined, put-together man we Hero Tales: v. 4 we saw in Volume 1. He's a wreck, inside and out. He's no longer the reserved individual making thoughtful, rational decisions. He's staggering through the unknown, making first one betrayal, then getting pulled deep into crap that destroys him, then trying to escape it while knowing there's no way things can go back to as they were Hero Tales: v. 4. His choices are emotional, erratic, confused, conflicting, as he struggles through his current contexts. The character who in Volume 1 was seen as Taitou's adviser What should have been "good traits" led him to this destruction of his entire life. I look back and I realize exactly how flawed he was from the start. He was the person who got "lost" on his journey to Taizan just as he becomes lost emotionally later. He didn't know Hero Tales: v. 4 much about controlling the power of the stars as he thought. He was always a young, unformed man It's extremely painful. Hero Tales: v. 4 it's extremely potent. Ryuukou was my favorite character from the get-go, but I couldn't be more impressed with how nuanced and in-depth his characterization arc has been handled. It's only made me dig the character more. Volume 4 was an absolutely pleasure to read. And by "pleasure" I mean "pain. There's far more to talk about, and far more to carry away from this volume, than I have the space to talk about here.
