While of course, we, as children (usually), see our parents as good people no matter what they do, Manna should have seen this situation in context. Her parents were traitors, and so who will believe that she’s a hero? Another factor that makes her a villain is the fact that she believes her parents were correct, she believes that they’ll go to heaven, even though they were evil and wicked. Her willingness to betray her country just because of a broken friendship does paint her as a traitor, but you do have to consider the fact that she has no where else to go. She ends up being a huge spy for the Japanese, and when she does capture Yanzhi, she unleashes all sorts of torture on her (mental, physical, all the sorts). Legenda mengatakan bahwa siapa pun yang mendapatkan Pedang Langit dan Pedang Pembantai Naga dapat menguasai dunia. And eventually, she is forced to go and help the Japanese, something she does with joy, and she really (really really really) wants to capture Yanzhi and torture her too. Heavenly Sword dan Dragon Slaying Sabre terjadi hampir 100 tahun setelah peristiwa Return of the Condor Heroes di Cina yang diperintah oleh Dinasti Yuan Mongolia.
After the death of her parents, Manna can only rely on San Ge, the person she loves the most. So, doesn’t Yanzhi seem like the villain here? Well, two reasons she isn’t, what Manna does after these first few episodes, and because Yanzhi was helping her country (ooooh, I should do an antihero analysis too! Yanzhi would fit so perfectly). For eighteen (something) years, he thought he was Wanyan Kang, and not Yang Kang. He is about to, but cannot do so, because well, duh, this dude raised him. When he discovers the reason Bao Xiruo and Yang Tiexin were separated in the first place was Wanyan Honglie Mu Nianci, Guo Jing and Huang Rong all tell him to kill Wanyan Honglie. But, life as a Song peasant obviously is not as comfortable as life as a Jurchen Prince, and he constantly switches and back and forth from Song peasant to Jurchen Prince. Their deaths, as well as Yang Kang’s new struggle of “who am I?” leads him to Mu Nianci, and he finally accepts he is Yang Tiexin’s son, and a normal Song peasant. He refused, and Wanyan Honglie decided to run after the reunited family, this led to the deaths of Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo. When Yang Tiexin was revealed not to be dead, Bao Xiruo and Mu Nianci (Yang Kang’s love interest) both convinced him to accept his father was Yang Tiexin, and escape the city to live a peasant life with his real family.
After Yang Tiexin was supposedly “killed”, Bao Xiruo married Wanyan Honglie, a Jurchen Prince, so Yang Kang could have a good life. His real father, Yang Tiexin was a Song peasant, as was his mom, Bao Xiruo. His struggle is between whether he should accept his fate as a normal Song peasant or continue being the Jurchen Prince he once was. Honestly, while watching the 20 versions and reading the novel, I felt really bad for Yang Kang, but he definitely does do things we as watchers cannot forgive.
