Readers love Wendy Lian Martin’s Castle Swimmer webtoon for its rich characters, beautiful underwater world, and touching storyline. The story becomes more intriguing in the concluding chapters of Season 3, and the emotional stakes are higher than ever.
How Will Castle Swimmer Season 3 Conclude?
The previous chapters deal with Kappa looking for answers. His inability to read scrolls halts him until he stumbles upon one with pictures that oddly resemble him, starting off a mystery. Meanwhile, Siren finds solace in Galoo’s comforting words as he struggles with his prophecy. The narrative moves into a poignant flashback about Mucku’s past, revealing her as Nethimir’s mother and Octalia’s Queen in a castle stained by a tragedy. As Kappa deciphers the scroll using Flyfin’s assistance, it emerges that there could be multiple Beacons, which intensifies the mystery of this story, leaving readers curious for more.
Castle Swimmer Chapter 160: The Promise
Castle Swimmer Chapter 160 begins with an interesting exchange between Kappa and Siren about the mysterious scroll featured so far in the novel. The conversation is fraught with suspense and interest as they attempt to unravel the scroll’s riddle. Discussing it adds a layer to their relationship, exemplifying how deeply they depend on each other and how heavily this prophecy weighs upon them. Castle Swimmer Chapter 160 concludes with Flyfin showing the scroll to Fizz. This moment shows how much the scroll’s mystery affects other characters and races in the underwater world.
Castle Swimmer Chapter 161: The Missing Scroll
Castle Swimmer Chapter 161 starts with the evil witches calling Siren a captive of them while they clean the Whales. Nethimir, a former princess, recalls a period when she felt worthless and compares it to Siren’s battle. This conversation is bittersweet because it offers some insight into Nethimir’s personality and, at the same time, reveals one’s curse of being royal, i.e., having to bear the psychological weight of unworthiness attached to a title.
In the next scene, while Kappa is contemplating his worst moments, the Flyfin arrives asking about Kappa’s health. In response, he says he doesn’t feel comfortable around the whales because of what happened last time. The story becomes interesting when Kappa asks about Fizz, only to find out that Fizz has returned to the forest and their colony to stay for some time. Fean suggests that the aspect of the Flyfin moving away from whales is because they change in a more sinister way if they are left around the whales for extended periods of time.
The chapter turns in another colorful direction when Kappa inquires about the scroll, and the Flyfin says they don’t know where it is, although there is a parting comment that perhaps the Sluggi has it.
Castle Swimmer Chapter 162: Siren’s Inspiration
Castle Swimmer Chapter 162 sways into a soft start, revealing a conversation between Kappa, Siren, and the evil witches. Kappa’s suspicious apprehension is directed to the Flyfin, who seems to be hiding something. It is quite apparent in how he tries to constrain himself and eventually states: “I don’t trust the Flyfin. They’ve been acting weird.” Kappa’s assumptions are justified, although he is unsure if the Flyfin absconded with the scroll. Nonetheless, he reasons that the Flyfin devised another alternate way to wake the whales owing to their dismal hope of utilizing Kappa’s assistance.
The attention is redirected to Kappa and Siren, who are now facing each other and are lost in their thoughts. Kappa comes across Siren in heavy thoughts and questions him about his mood. He concedes that he thinks a lot about his role models. His father taught him to look for novel solutions instead of just one given solution.
Inspired by this realization, Siren looks up to a new hero – his mother. This statement is of great importance as it implies a developmental stage in Siren’s character. He understands that she has committed some unforgivable mistakes, especially with her treatment of Kappa. Still, at the same time, he respects her too much to let this affect his opinion of her determination. Though she has made many mistakes, she still remains in the castle, doing everything that is within her power to help her people. At the end of Castle Swimmer Chapter 162, Galoo offers Mono a flower and asks if she may spend some time with her.
Chapter 163: The Past of Mono
Castle Swimmer Chapter 163 begins with Galoo and Mono enjoying their quality time together, deepening their bond. During their dialogue, Mono discloses that her heart is not hers. It belonged to someone she dearly loved, which leads us into a flashback as sad as it is enlightening. In this flashback, we discover Octalia, where many children are born with more than one heart, signifying their potent magic. However, Mono had only one heart, unlike her fellow beings in the Octalia, who were born with several hearts but still struggled with controlling their magical powers.
In a cruel twist of fate, though, she did not have the power to tame her magical abilities, which led to her death. Nima, a fellow Octalian, brought back Mono by giving her one of her own hearts because she was truly selfless, creating an unbreakable bond between them. Although this act of kindness had consequences, which damaged Mono’s neck and prevented her from speaking, Nima became her voice, and the two became inseparable.
Additionally, the flashback shows another side of Mono’s life when Queen Mucku demands that she find a way to speak. Mucku teaches her how to control her magic, leading to its eventual dominance over her. Presently moved by Mono’s account, Galoo wonders if Nima is alive. “No,” responds Mono with sincerity. When their castle fell into ruins that day, Mucku lost her memory, Nethimir lost an arm, and Mono lost her most cherished person, Nima.
Castle Swimmer Chapter 164: The Whale Prophecy
The bond is intensified through a tender conversation between Kappa and Siren at the beginning of Castle Swimmer Chapter 164. At that moment, Kappa notices Siren’s knife, which brings back memories of past danger. Thus, his fear surge triggers his magic heart to act uncontrollably. His state causes Siren’s heart to activate as well, indicating their unbreakable bond and vulnerability.
Sirens notices that Kappa is upset and tries to console him. In panic, Kappa runs off towards Worm for comfort. Upon its arrival, Worm has a pacifying impact, immediately restoring peace. However, this relief is momentary, as he regrets his impulsive decision to run away from Siren and realizes that his fear has torn them apart at the wrong time.
However, the chapter takes an unexpected twist before he can act upon this remorse. His prophecy light unexpectedly lights up, not just touching one Whale but linking with all whales inside the sanctuary. This sudden and mysterious connection leaves readers with a cliffhanger ending, raising new questions about these whale species and their relevance to Kappa’s destiny.
Castle Swimmer Chapter 165: The Flyfin Plan
As Castle Swimmer Chapter 165 begins, Kappa asks Worm to find the witches, immediately setting a serious tone. In the next scene, we see Nethimir and Mucku having a private conversation while Siren bursts into the room in a highly emotional state.
Leaving Nethimir to help Siren regain his composure, Mucku departs to look for Kappa. Nethimir insists that personal care is crucial, stressing that to be closer to Kappa, he must also take good care of himself. Eventually, she got through to him with her words, calming him down and improving his emotional management.
In the next scene, Flyfin stands before a Whale while Kappa stands beside it. The tension rises when Kappa sees Fizz holding the scroll. Fizz appreciates Kappa’s discovery of this scroll, which solves all their problems. Consequently, he unveils that he invented a prophecy with the help of other Flyfin that predicted that by just touching every Whale with his hand, the Beacon would awaken the Whales. However, Kappa is not impressed with this explanation and resolutely pronounces these words, “I am not going to fulfill your Flyfin prophecy.”
Suddenly, Fizz takes Kappa by the neck unexpectedly, leaving the chapter at a cliffhanger that ups the ante and makes readers apprehensive about how this fight will develop.
Castle Swimmer Chapter 165: Siren Comes to Rescue
Worm finds Mono and Galoo at the beginning of Castle Swimmer Chapter 166 to let them know Kappa is in danger. Driven by fear and determination, they rapidly set out to find him. The scene then switches to Kappa, who the Flyfin is coercing to carry out the prophecy. Kappa bites himself so hard in a desperate attempt that blood starts to flow. This is not a random act of self-harm; rather, it is a calculated action. No matter how far away, Kappa is certain that Siren can smell the blood and rescue him.
The story then moves to Siren, where Mucku shows up in a panic to ask for assistance after failing to locate Kappa. The suspense increases as he suddenly detects the smell of blood, indicating that Kappa is in serious danger. When all hope appears lost, a black magic-radiating, infuriated Siren shows up to save him.
Chapter 167: Rampaging Siren
At the beginning of Castle Swimmer Chapter 167, Siren is angry beyond measure. This flood of power he can’t hold brings him an inch away from killing Fizz. Nevertheless, moments before delivering the final blow, Siren remembers his internal kindness, regains his senses, and retreats, leaving Fizz frightened. As Kappa appears quickly, both embrace each other within the surrounding impenetrable darkness enveloping them.
Another layer of urgency is added to the chapter with the arrival of Nethimir and Mucku. To help, Mucku asks Nethimir if there’s anything she can do. Her response is grave; it becomes clear that they have no magic left in them as she says that any intervention might only drive their magic further away. The immediate solution is a desperate one on the part of Siren and Kappa, who must reconnect with their hearts now or die.
Meanwhile, Siren wakes up in a strange place, surrounded by darkness. This dark void reminds him of Godmouth. His desperation becomes evident when he calls for Kappa. However, instead, he sees a younger Kappa wrapped in bandages, silently offering him his scale. Castle Swimmer Chapter 167 ends on this haunting note, leaving readers with an impending doom and uncertainty over what lies ahead.
Castle Swimmer Chapter 168: Young Kappa
Castle Swimmer Chapter 168 commences with a young Kappa revealing a secret about himself. In an emotional expression, the character confesses that the scars on his body result from self-inflicted wounds brought about by his desperate attempt to follow the prophecy’s instructions. To save a castle full of suffering people, he cut off his scales, only to realize that it was all in vain. He feels so guilty and blames himself for what happened that he tells Siren of this feeling of being at fault.
Kappa inspires Siren to open up about his pain, hoping that they may grow closer and start healing. The turning point in the chapter occurs when Kappa gently encourages him by saying that it’s alright if he lets down his guard, even if, for a moment, he stops pretending everything is okay. Kappa extends such love and understanding by giving Siren a space to be vulnerable without judgment.
Castle Swimmer Chapter 168 ends with this moving scene that makes one wonder what the future holds for their relationship regarding this mutual vulnerability.
Castle Swimmer Chapter 169: Young Siren
At the beginning of Castle Swimmer Chapter 169, the young Siren feels guilty over everything, leading to him crying his heart out and apologizing to all. In his frustration, he has an air of despair as he grapples with his incompetence. He wonders why people should love him so much when he believes he has not done anything to deserve this.
At this moment, the young Kappa confesses his love for Siren and tells him that he wants Siren to be strong for him. This confession also leads Siren to admit his love for Kappa. In response, young Kappa hugs the young Siren tightly while comforting him in silence until they both feel better. The mutual acknowledgment of their feelings is a beautiful and cathartic moment that dispels all the dark magic surrounding them, symbolizing the healing power of love and acceptance.
Mucku rejoices, seeing them alive and with no more darkness. Nethimir concludes that although Kappa and Siren have connected to hearts as she prophesized, they did not connect correctly. Instead of connecting to their hearts, it appears they have connected to each other’s hearts.
Once the characters had started to process this, the Sluggi appeared, demanding an explanation. Galoo touches Flyfin, and with her power, she witnesses all that has happened, which impels her to tell Sluggi to open the Whale’s mouth immediately. By the end of Castle Swimmer Chapter 169, Mono and Galoo enter inside a whale’s mouth, where innumerable Flyfin live, providing readers with a thrilling climax as Season 3 concludes.
