I'm going to stretch, reach, and grasp as straws on this theory so this is a jumping to conclusions with minimal clues.

The first girl in the temple was the oldest girl "Hime-chan", so to a certain point the other two don't know or she hasn't mentioned anything about her background. "Hime" in Japanese means "princess", she showed a level of maturity, elegance, and restraint like she was raised/conditioned to be prim/proper (for example she didn't physically played like the other two). She seemed to have reach a certain age and though they say she died and it was due to the shogun, normally they show a death scene, funeral, or a grave marker indicating she's dead while none of this happened (it looked like he saw her leaning against a tree but no show of blood on that scene). There is a possibility she was sent to that temple for multiple reasons such as safety to hide her physically, keep her virginal sexually, and minimize her contact with others so when she gets returned to her "betrothed/fiancee" (this is my major stretch, reach, grasp) she may be fulfilling part of an arrangement. I think if the Shogun "murdered" her we'd see a graphic scene or quaint one of her headstone, or at least see part of the ritual many Japanese do of washing the headstone before they left to the town they're in now. This is all conjecture, but I remember someone else mentioning that he thought she was alive and had some connection to the shogun, but that's pretty much all he mentioned about it, and for me it sorta stuck with me as well..

Someone posted this a while back, I think chapter 2, but we never really seen the girl die, and I wonder if the girl he seeks is still alive and faking her death?

Noooo!!! The torture of this cliffhanger is us!!!

Please tell me they both don't have the same grandma... this is Japan, not Alabama.

Just when I thought it was ending they intro a love triangle? Is he now going to conquer Yokohama and rest of Japan too?

Based on the prior fight, he gains a 1.5x attribute in that category. For example if your attack is 4 he sees it then it becomes 6, if your defense is 5 then his becomes 7.5 which you saw in the multiplier of his previous fight.

First day of the first month she leaves... black eye and broken arm.

"Hebe" means snake in Japanese, she's simply living up to her name, and her snake slit pupils backs that.

In most cases you don't because it'll frustrate you and lower your opinion in justice and humanity. I'm speaking from personal experience.

Notice how all these criminals are getting away with what they did because South Korea's juvenile protection act puts a limit on the punishment of the under aged and on top of it "believe all under-aged girls" which is a toxic rub off of the west. I believe adult level crimes deserves adult level punishments, medieval level crimes deserves medieval level punishments, and screw this "but they were a minor..." crap. The crimes these people committed against the protagonist and his family should be paid back similarly, and if the criminals family cover such evil acts of their children then they should pay the same price too, but I'm also a believer in "hard evidence" for example this girl was trying to claim multiple times, well with mobile devices it wouldn't have been too hard for her to get such evidence, therefore I would have discounted her "claims" because she claimed multiple times.

Now days cops, politicians, teachers, and any business that has the option plus can afford it should have a recorded environment which would stop bullying, favoritism, bigotry, etc within that environment that should be about production and results. That girl wouldn't have been able to compromise any teacher if this was the case... but then we wouldn't be entertained by the tale of this manwha if that was the case.

I've known several situations similar to this when growing up. Sadly his situation could have been worse, they could have drug addicted then trafficked his sister and female relatives while doing everything they did to him, plus got him drug addicted then hit him at the right moments letting him know it was due to him. Seems to me they tried everything they could to break him hoping he'd off himself, what they didn't realize what they took from him was refilled with revenge, for them they don't realize him going to jail, getting hurt along the way, etc means little since he's already been cauterized by their past events, really all he needs to do is remember what they did and see if he can top it.

A shame this got the axe.

I saw this at two other sites as well with earlier sites missing more scenes than the last. I guess if you're an early scraper and poster this is how they try to control them.

She needs to feel the might of his stiff pimp hand, then dropped off somewhere to be the street walker she is.

FMC needed "flower (flour)" to put in the new cake.

I have no evidence but speculate that because Choi Gilbae was bleeding they assumed he made physical contact on Yoo Dai, and I assume his ability is any physically touching him dies. They may assume that Yoo Dai is so tough that death wasn't immediate and might take time but also based on him touching other items and they turn to ashes, they might speculate or he has shown in the past that there are different degrees of destruction with his ability (ie he touches they turn to ash asap, he bleeds on them they take a while to die, etc). Choi's ability may be scaled and only impacts weaker creatures immediately while others may take a while or longer to die.

Is he, is he... going to dump her because he's going to be surrounded by all sorts of art chics at school and she'll cramp his style? It won't happen, unless some weird creativity group behind the scenes do this like how they destroyed the MCU.

Really it comes down to the man on his mission and purpose vs her's. I know when I was on my purpose I didn't accept any kinds of distractions including entertainment, sometimes this is more important than anything else and it seems he has this in the form of his grades.

I wonder if they're going to show a few more scenes where he literally "fan girls" around her? Imagine the other girls finds out who she is before him and then he "fan girls" around them? Hilarity.

That's why it's being put off, this manga has 2-3 episodes left after the reveal. Dead man walking...

He should back off and find his purpose first and foremost, the mistake most people make is rushing into one relationship after another without fixing themselves first. He's still broken and hasn't fully fixed all his personal issues and trauma, both of which are recipes for failure and disaster to bring into all future relationships.
