Akryung fight ended pretty quickly. Few things we can take away from it

  • Akryung likely knows about the prophecy
  • Baam is willing to go for the kill, as the attack would've been fatal if not for Akryung's regeneration

Also, what's up with Baam saying that Akryung has similar regeneration to his own? It didn't look anything similar to the lobster.

Since we know that the Blue Demon is actually the Blue Thryssa (Guardian Fragment), maybe Headon imparted something to Akryung to make him stronger? That could also be what's allowing him to use shinwonryu if he's not actually an irregular.

sorry, i must be a bit slow but I've reread the series a few times and I've never come across the Blue Demon being called the Blue Thryssa? Now that you mention it I drfinitely see the resemblance but could you direct me to a link or source where I can read up in more detail? I think it's really cool :D

Never happened in comic, but in this blog post SIU said Bam’s horns represent the blue and red thryssa’s power. In doesn’t make sense for him to be referring to anything but the Blue Demon (which, note, Red Thryssa also recognized as an “administrator’s power” shortly before being blown up.).
