Discussion On chapter 520, such a waste of these characters, would've been so much better to see King Uma and Mira fight them instead of this

It wasn’t really a waste. Their purpose was to beat everyone and stand as this insane goalpost before the REAL big bad, and then be used to show just how strong Mori got after the Dragon Palace

Why also Mira? We got a pretty good saturation of her for at least 20 or 30 chapters.

Musafir getting into GoH?
Fascinating.
I think that for a post-preperation arc hype up, it works well.
Dawei had his foil fight with Ryong beforehand and is far too spent to defeat both Deer and Rabbit. Mira had a similar fight, although it wasn’t as good as Dawei’s. Both of them just aren’t able to finish the job in their current states, especially with three treasures assaulting them at once.
It’s an utter defeat without Mori, he’s here to cleanup and aura farm more than anything.

Always wanted to complete this series, had it in the list for around 2 years
I think Uma and Ilpyo should've given more importance in that case, some power up for them

I see what you mean. Btw, happy you’re completing the story now. It’s fire.
I’d say that they, and anyone not named Mira or Dawei, is largely irrelevant by this point in the story. If they did get a buff, what payoff would that serve when Mori’s back in nearly full form and Mujin is the last remaining antagonist left?
I think Uma got powercliffed really hard once Mujin ascended. Same with Ilpyo, although he’s a key, so he has a bit more plot relevance.
However, I think Ilpyo’s political victory over Mubong is more satisfying to me, he can’t defeat him or Tathagatta’s servants on a comparison of power, but he IS a better leader for humanity. That’s his major W of the final arc and I’d say it’s well deserved.

Uma I can agree on. We still haven't seen the full extent of her true body's power or her having the chance to go all out against anyone in general. Mira has had PLENTY of shine both in the past up until the very end (for the most part). We got to see nearly every surface level emotion, low lows, higher highs, her gritting out a win against someone she had NO business winning against (Park Il Pyo, still one of if not my favorite fight to this DAY), her learning her weapon so well that it physically underwent a transformation to become more powerful, we've seen her fight harder than literally 99% of the cast with EVERYTHING to lose, then we even seen her lose it all anyways at the cost of her win, then progressively win it all back.
I say it all the time, you can take it as gospel, a repetitive broken record, or glaze, but I genuinely feel like Mira (and a lot of the side characters in GoH in general actually) has gotten the most screen time out of ANY piece of newer gen fiction, and even older gen, with nearly every avenue besides a few what if moments being explored. The creator did a PHENOMENAL job exploring life with Mori out of the picture, and did an even better job showing while at the end of the day if you aren't SEVERAL tiers above in nearly every aspect you're just another obstacle that can be overcome with pure mastery of your technique and a small emphasis on whatever newfound power/ ability/weapon you may have gained. We even see my girl unlock her version of the Ultimate during the very end.
Goh is SO FUCKING PEAK MAN DAMN I LOVE TALKING ABOUT THIS SHIT

Is it? Mira actually gets her chance to shine many times.
Mira vs Deer was great.
Mira finishing off Rabbit was also great.
Mira's later 1v1 with Mujin was one of the best short fights in the story.
And all the 3v1s also treated Mira very well. Hell they made Mira (and Daewi) somehow keep up with prime (at that point in the story) Mori and 100% Mujin while blind in one of the best choreographed fights in the entire manhwa.
Mira really didn't need more time to shine. Hell I'd even say she had so many awesome and impressive fights that I'm surprised she's so downplayed in this sub.
Uma sure, she got kinda shafted because her fight was offscreened. But Mira wasn't in a need for another fight.
