Kouya in Taiki arc

Post by scorchpop »

When I watched the Taiki arc for the second time, I noticed that Kouya was in it. It seemed that the Nyosen considered him one of the gods(or did I make a mistake?) But Kouya doesn't seem to be a god in the last arc. Does anyone know anything about Kouya that I've overlooked or mistaken? I'm a little confused.
Whoosh! I'm a dragon ^.^

Kouya is a sen, but became a "god" (for some outstanding deed in helping the regular people living in the yellow sea) in the years following his "adventure" with En-ou and Enki. The Taiki arc comes about 450 years or so after this. Is that what you were wondering?

Hi, where did you learn about this? Was Kouya ever a sen? So sen can become a god just like humans can be made fairies? :roll:

well i think he became a Sen under Atsuyu (in one Flashback Rokuta was flying with his Shirai over a field and saw a Farmer working with his kid and was thinking that Kouya would be around that mans age,but when he saw Kouya at the palace he was in his Teenage-years...and Kouya confirmed that he was made a Sen by Atsuyu)

There are rumors that he became a god after he helped the 12 year old empress,when he was protecting the travelers in the yellow sea,but i have yet to find the book and read it in order to confirm that ^^"

he became god before he give the tree branches [ and unless ur a god u cannot have access to it ] to the ppl of the yellow sea , noticed they call him by his god-name in the child-empress novel [ they dunno his normal name] :)

he probly became god cos of his outstanding merit in helping travellers in the yellow sea :P he's the patron god of ppl crossing the yellow sea. they pray to him for safe travel and stuff.
