Really hoping that Great's "corruption" isn't cured and that he remains an antagonist. Great is a pretty fantastic villain; I think he's been established pretty well as absolutely untouchable, and it's an interesting story element to hold on to.

I personally hope it is "cured". But that he essentially keeps being who he is now.
Great is an interesting character because he's not a wholesale cookie-cutter villain. He doesn't want to dominate the world (it seems like a pain in the ass). He doesn't really want to work with the administrative elders, other than the fact that he likes their laws. He doesn't really want to work with the revolutionists because they want to change said laws.
He's in an interesting position, and it would be sad for that to tilt too much in one direction or the other.
Him becoming corrupted presumably makes him subservient to the person that corrupted him whenever he and Bear fuses. Otherwise I have no idea why that person would want a completely evil all powerful entity that would likely cut him down on the spot.
I don't know, there were three other Administrative Elders that they introduced in the first chapter that we haven't seen. Plus the third Sword Saint that hasn't been part of the story yet. I'm guessing the finale is going to be an amazing mess of competing interests with maybe Sword, Great, or Bear as the bigger threats. There's a lot of places for this story to go and I love it.
I don't think the third Sword Saint is around anymore. He was introduced as the former administrator of Block 5. Great is the current Block 5 administrator and wielder of Black Blood, so Great probably replaced him or killed him and took his spot or whatever.
Yeah, I managed to forget that. Feels like it's been forever since we've seen Great with a sword. I started a re-read and I also forgot they introduced another Administrative Elder named Ra who was a total wimp. Compared to Sword, Master, and Doctor he was pretty forgettable. They also called Great a Sword Saint back in like chapter 2, so I guess he took the title too. I guess that goes to show just how much detail is in this Manhwa, the re-read is amazing.
