Hong Danhwa (홍 단화, Hong Danhwa) was a member of Team Yura during the Train City Tournament. While the other members of the team were left behind or "dumped" by Ha Yura, Danhwa was allowed to tag along with Yura as her "bodyguard" so she can safely meet up with Team Rachel. He is a D-rank Regular and the owner of Krishna, one of the 7 Sacred Swords.
After he was left behind and dumped as well by Ha Yura, he followed Team Baam and act as Yeon Yihwa's "white knight" (protector or bodyguard).
He was last seen being knocked down on the ground together along with Yeon Yihwa by two assassins named Yool and Kell from the Zahard's Army, at the begining of Part 3, which happen somewhere after the 44th floor, several months later after the attack event of Zahard's Army at the Last Station.[1]
History[]
Somewhere in the Tower, in his homeland, Danhwa was chosen to be the owner of the sword "Krishna". After being chosen, he came into the Tower.
Appearance and Personality[]
Danhwa is a young, tall man with fair skin, blonde hair and generally good looks. He wears a generally white and blue themed ensemble and carries around with him an interesting sword.
He is a very gentlemanly person who will even sacrifice himself for his peers, as demonstrated with Ha Yura, even though she showed a ruthless streak by nonchalantly killing a member of her own 'team'. He is seemingly very loyal, as he openly stated he would betray his current set of allies if it meant helping Ha Yura.

Revolution Road
VS Boro at Train City
Danhwa participated in "The Last 7" game and was one of the Regulars who caught the attention of Aka's subordinates. He later joined Ha Yura's team and was picked to participate in the "Crazy Yellow Ball" game in the first match of the tournament. However he was never called into action.
Along with Yura, he escaped the tournament area and fled to meet with Rachel. As they got to the Entrance floor he and Yura encountered Hwa Ryun's group and they gave chase but the two escaped after Yura turned the guardian on. As the two continued to flee, they were caught up and Danhwa stayed behind to allow Yura enough time to escape with Boro being his opponent. Using his Ignition Weapon, he fought against Boro, gaining the upper hand very briefly, but was soon overwhelmed when Boro used his unique martial arts style to bypass Krishna's attacks and impale Danhwa with his needle. Boro then asked why he was helping Yura and he replied asking if Boro knew what was on the train. Boro told him that only hell existed on the train before leaving him.
Hoaqin
He appeared alongside Boro and Hanool Kang on the 37th Floor, after being given Hana Yu's Express Ticket. He asked Boro if what he was told was true and then listened as Boro revealed his history of his time on the Hell Express.
Wooden Horse
During the day, he, Boro and Hanool Kang finally arrived at the Wooden Horse station and soon entered inside. At 10:30PM, Aka arrived along with Sachi Faker who stated the train had arrived at the Wooden Horse.
At the 'Altar' Danhwa was one of the Regulars that witnessed Hoaqin effortlessly decimating a large amount of the Regulars at the station.
Later, with only 10 minutes left to board the train, he and the others raced towards the stairs of the train but caught the attention of Hoaqin on the way. With freak lightning interrupting Hoaqin's assault, Baam, Khun and Rak swiftly arrived on the stairs leading into the train. A brief scuffle broke out between the two sides but it was interrupted when they were all teleported to the train conductor's office. The conductor introduced himself and then informed them about a game that would decide who would become the Slayer candidate in a month's time. At that, he teleported them away to different locations in the train.
A Month
Their group immediately encountered the guardian Yokim and they planned on taking him down until Hwa Ryun suggested that from that point onwards, Baam was to take all tests by himself in order to prepare for challenging Hoaqin. Danhwa then watched as Baam took on and eventually defeated Yokim allowing them to pass the stage.
During their traversing of the train's pathways, the group eventually encountered the "god" of guardians. After a brief discussion, Baam took the guardian on but the guardian snatched Baam up and took him away. Danhwa and the others then waited for three weeks for Baam to return.
Eventually Baam hurriedly returned and the group narrowly made it to the 4th stage in time.
The Dallar Show
Danhwa and the others listened to the rules of the Dallar Show and then watched as Khun coolly won the first round. During the second round game, "Transferring the sweetfish", Hong Danhwa was partnered with Khun and Hwa Ryun.
