I’m 1/2 Japanese & 1/4 Chinese and I think if you’re familiar with the Kuan Yin (Kwannon) lore, what Psylocke is going through is very interesting and she is going to be important for Krakoa and the future of the mutants.
Welcome to my Ted Talk (1/)..

Kuan Yin is one of the most beloved deities in Asia as she symbolizes salvation for she hears the cries of all beings (Hill wrote “mercy” which is not inaccurate). Here Psylocke literally heard a voice of a being inside telling her to take up arms.

In the legend Kuan Yin was granted entry into heaven but decided not to go because she heard the cries of the world & vowed to remain on earth & not enter heaven until all living things become liberated from the painful cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.

Psylocke decided to heed to the call (“the cry”), convinced that it’s her duty, her nature to prevent pain from this world — to sacrifice heaven and fight, that is compassion (whether Psylocke realizes this or not).

Now, in Asian legends Kuan Yin also symbolizes femininity and is seen as the source of all living things, an omnipresent mother who sense the afflictions of humanity and bestow relief to her children. She protects & nurture, unreservedly.

Makes sense Psylocke went ham when she found out that the girl was hers. She reclaimed Psylocke but it does not mean Kwannon is no longer a part of her. Everything she does here is an exploration of identity. What is her purpose?

Contrary to Kuan Yin, however, Psylocke does not hesitate to inflict pain and death.
Kuan Yin is the protector from many dangers including: falling, prison, demon, poison, and war. A perfect juxtaposition to Psylocke’s journey.

Re: Juxtaposition
-Kwannon fell to her almost-death (falling)
-was imprisoned and experimented on by an alien (demon)
-suffered from the legacy virus (poison)
- fought many countless battles (war)
No wonder Psylocke said Kwannon is a shackle! #NoMore

So yeah... I love this issue! It’s not without flaws (Cable and X23 feel out of place) but I enjoy Psylocke actively seeking out her own path. Not sure if Hill meant the Kwan Yin - Fallen Angel juxtapositions but I like it. It’s thoughtful.
