Realistically, yes. With the kind of magical martial arts we see here are involved, though... We know the eyes are a weak point, but that's about it.

Ha! Chang-ho got owned! Well, it's still far from over yet, but does the fact that Shioon did a feet technique mean he's gotten some of his skill back? Or was that just using Murim-in techniques as normal martial arts?

Both girls know this as well which is why they're insecure in the first place. Whether, she remains the most important person in his life outside of NAD only time will tell.

Looking at it from his point of view it's quite understandable. I mean he had to win Sosul over, and he's always had a brother sister relationship with her, and nothing signifcant has happened between him and Jinnie. They've only spent a small amount of time together in comparison to him a Sae-hee.

Until something signicant happens between him and Jinnie (or rather lots of signicant things..), or he finally see's Sosul as I women it's no wonder why he cares about Sae-hee more.
Of course he would worry about Saehee more; she's the only person who couldn't defend herself from a Murim attack(or even a normal one). Sosul is(or was) in the care of Goom and, formerly, Shiho, so why would he ever worry about her with them protecting her, not to mention having being the head of one of the strongest clans in the Murim. As for Jinie, she's more than capable of protecting herself, but even she has reliable comrades(the two dudes who helped with Yoo Gym) in case of trouble. Compared to those two, Saehee is defenseless.

Second, neither Sosul or Jinie have ever been placed in such a dangerous position that would be liable to rev him up. Given his character, it's just as likely if they were, he would get as emotional about their well-being as Saehee.

Third, Saehee has always been something he responds to AFTER she gets into trouble, else, she's not really involved with him in the view of the story(aside from the beginning).

well my throughts are simply that shion is just copying the normal skills he had before... right now he does a move similar to foot tech. but normaly it looks way faster.... this is just a fast dodge in spin mode and punch from below....

I guess next chapter will contain little stuff on where jinee is... maybe her new resolve... or noona will appear to help shion :P since I doubt he can handle 5guys alone

still there is a possibility that the 4other skulls retreat as they take too much of attention and the fight might be too much and police will be called... hard to tell...

I would like sera noona to appear than she can touch him as much she wants as he is passed out XD

Errr she constantly hangs out with him and is his only friend.... yeaaah.... The only reason he's not with her during a lot of the story is because of Murim and he sure as hell doesn't want her to get involved. Every other time it's heavily implied he is.

Come on guys I don't even really like her since she hasn't been properly developed at all but it's blatantly obvious he currently cares about her the most. Did the other girls inferiority complexes not make it obvious? It wouldn't even make sense if he was sudenly in love with either of them since one he barely even knows one and the other looks like a small girl and he treats her like a child.

Come on, there are hundreds of anime/manga examples out there that show that "love for the childhood friend" is just friendship, nothing more. Any 'newer' girl who likes a guy that has a girl childhood friend is gonna feel inferior, because of the experiences they've had together =0\.

I don't see where exactly it shows that he hangs out with her often or is implied that he does. Feel free to point out any examples to enlighten my vision.

She could easily be made not into one if the author wanted. TBH it's just bad writing to leave her as she is. Even if Shioon doesn't end up with her she's far too pivotal a character to be left as she is.

Who do you think he hangs out at school with?

I never said he was in love with her or that he would end up with her, I'm saying he blatantly cares about her more than the others currently, regardless of what those feelings are.

I'd argue she isn't important beyond the role that she already serves. She's the normal girl that knows nothing that happens to be the main character's childhood friend. Shioon wants to protect her and keep her from harm's way because it's something he failed to do in the first series and because he kept worrying her when he was bullied.

I doubt Shioon will be able to stay in contact with her once he becomes a murim. I mean if she was really important to him you'd think he'd call her and talk to her more often but as seen in the first series, he actually had to be reminded by others that she had asked about him. Did he ever contact her on his own initiative? I can't think of a time other than maybe near the early parts of the series.

Pivotal? You are making her out to be more than she is. What has she done for Shioon, besides being the catalyst(i.e. bait) to fights? She has never helped his resolve or anything. There was one minor thing near the beginning of part 1 vol1 where he felt ashamed of himself after talking to Saehee a bit when he was told to bring her to the bullies, but that's it. I hardly see her as being an even minor important character, aside from being the bait for him to jump into fights, which, if say, Jinie were beaten up and caught, he would do and act the same.

I also still think you are overestimating his feelings, love or not. He considers her a good friend, no doubt. But you see him get riled up and think that this is a sign that he cares more about Saehee than the other girls, when Saehee is in a totally different position. His mantra to protect her so strongly is more to do with her not being involved in the Murim than some underlying feeling of friendship.

she is definetely not his girlfriend. girls do not flirt with bishounens and discuss their sexiness with their boyfriends. Remember the time when smiling blade appered at school for the first time.
on the other hand she may or may not be an object of his desires, still definetely not his girlfriend.

So it would seem. A brilliant () way for the author to keep the whole "who is Shioon's true love" question in limbo, no doubt .

Anyway, I trust that everyone knows that A-team has released their version of the chapter?

As for Saehee, I don't see her as all that important. She was the catalyst for Shioon to start "man himself up/grow a pair of balls", but beyond that, she hasn't been shown as all that important. True, Shioon wants to keep her out of harm's way, but that doesn't mean that his feelings (or their relationship) is a romantic one.

Pivotal as in there wouldn't be a story without her, if that's not pivotal then I don't know what is.

I ain't overestimating jack about his feelings, both girls think this. Unless you think they're both wrong and that he clearly thinks of them all equally when he doesn't have a single logical reason to do so. It's like stating that random girl a who I meet down the street is more important to me than my closest friend who I've known all my life and helped me make a pivotal decision.

Shioon has never shown ANY romantic feelings to either of the girls which is why they have inferiority complexes in first place. The girl who he's known the longest and cared about the longest wins by default.
It's basic common sense but shipping bias seems to be blinding people. I don't even care who he ends up with, I just find it funny why people would think that he would care for them all equally, especially considering the blatant signs.

Like I said before she is nothing more then a plot device. Saehee is in trouble, get strong. Saehee's phone is being used by someone dangerous, go after him. Saehee is being threatened by the same someone strong person, go after him again. That's it! Romantic feelings, where? There is no moonlight walks, no gazing into each others eyes and calling each other pet names like baby cakes or pudding pop. Walking home from school and other gushy crap like that. Hell, she knows absolutely zero about him. To say that there wouldn't be a story without her is just downright laughable. Do you honestly think he wouldn't do the same for any of the other girls? She is a side character who we've seen how much in the second part? Blink a couple times and that's it...

Actually, Shi-oon would quite gladly throw his life away to save the random girl down the street he just met. Which is why he has the harem he has.

Remember the arc in the first season when he went on a joyride to transport a lost kitten to its intended destination?

That has nothing to do with anything. My point is he has had a long relatively deep relation with one of the girls and the others he hasn't known for nearly as long nor has he shown any romantic interest in.

I don't see how they could possibly be equal.

I see your quite blinded by shipping. I could care less for any of that crap as I don't care who he ends up with, I'm not even arguing that he'll end up with her, I'm just saying he currently cares more about her for very obvious reason that both girls are aware of.

It has to do with a lot of things. You keep proclaiming that Shioon's eagerness to come to Saehee's aid is proof of his romantic affection, when it's very obvious he will go to just about any lengths for a random stranger, just as well.

Ergo, evidence busted.

I think he values Saehee quite well enough, as a very good friend he wants to keep out of all the mess he's in, but romantic affection? From the chaste, clumsy Shioon...?

Ergo your extremely blinded by shipping. I never said he had romantic affections for her or that he cares about her more because he'll fight for her. I'm saying he's known her a lot longer, she's his sole friend before the manga and is the reason why he's involved in martial arts in the first place. As a friend it puts her way way over the over two girls who have he has shown no romantic interest for(at least not yet anyway).

I find it funny that noone has bothered to refute the fact that both girls feel he cares more about Sae-hee than them.

Of course I'm the blinded shipper! (Did I even tell you who I ship?) It can't possibly be you.

The first bits been refuted. I was under the impression they were it turns out they weren't. I could care less. The rest is correct. Unless you somehow want to try to refute it?

You got any more? Because I have plenty for you. In fact it'd probably be easier to find times when you weren't bias.

Chaste Hero, learn it, love it. It's a trope made for Shioon. He's someone who'll die for a stranger (and yes to protect a friend), your interpretation of selfish normality has nothing to do with this cutie boy. What is so special about him "caring most for Saehee" when he just as willingly tries to prevent Jinie from having to defend him, only recently during the setup meeting with Sera?
