The OVA's fantasy RPG ending was soooo cute!! had to draw something from it as well X3

Golden Core Sacrifice

MXTX wrote the golden core sacrifice the way she did for a reason!

Look, if she wanted WWX to give up his golden core for JC there were many different ways JC could have lost it, but I think this is why I never understood people who say JC never loved WWX.

By choosing to protect WWX he not only is giving a statement that he does in fact love WWX, whether that love is familial or platonic or romantic you pick, but he's putting WWX on equal ground. As someone of high birth he's giving up his life for someone "lower" than him.

I see so many arguments where people say that JC never saw WWX as nothing more than a servant but that just seems off, because would someone like JC, give up their life/golden core for a servant?

Sure ig if he's all noble like LWJ, but JC is a sect heir up until this point. He is keenly aware that people will fall on their swords if it meant protecting the heir to the sect aka him. He is meant to be a leader, a ruler, he is above his men and WWX is meant to be one of those men.

His mother tried again and again to remind JC of that. That WWX is the son of a servant, and should things go south he is meant to protect JC with his life. Even JFM reminded him of that in his last moments!! WWX life was less than that of JC, but in JC sacrificing himself he rebutted that statement.

And when I see people claim that JC is selfish and doesn't deserve WWX's sacrifice, that just ruins the point of it!! It spits on both of their sacrifices!!!

They lost their golden cores for each other, like????!!! That is what makes it such a tragedy!

JC could not bear the thought of losing WWX or worse having him killed by the wens, and WWX could not bear to see JC lose his cultivation, the thing he lived for.

And yes WWX and the whole class/debt system comes into play, but even then I can't imagine a lowly servant willingly giving up such a priceless thing. Forcibly yes, but even if it was willingly, JC wouldn't have had the reaction he did at the end of the series.

MXTX did not expand much on his thoughts in the books and we got like 3 paragraphs describing JC's pov, but it was put at the end for a reason (this ofc is not including the other adaptations). It was meant for us the viewers/readers to take a moment to reevaluate what we knew of JC and his character, (even though were given foreshadowing with the Yi city arc).

All in all this is a way of me saying I don't get it when people say JC never loved WWX.

And when I say Sanji gets treated like a female character in a battle shonen by the studios & audience I mean that!! I'm getting Sakura Haruno flashbacks here & I'm not happy.

i keep thinking about how when JC catches up to WWX, LWJ, and NHS at the Tiannu goddess statue cave, he plays a joke to scare them by standing behind the statue and pretending to be the statue talking to them

and then walks out from behind the statue looking slightly embarrassed but also a bit satisfied with himself and also clearly thinking "WWX why didn't you tell me where you were going why did you leave me behind :(" and also "we're going to get in trouble back home why are you like this *eyeroll*" and also "i'm so glad you're safe"

they were once so young...they fooled around and played jokes on each other and were more open to each other like the kids they were...
