Lau: The Blue Dragon
The chinoiserie in the Chapter 186 cover is so glorious. I must laud Yana T for her exquisite illustrations.
Lau is wearing what looks like, I assume, a flowing hanfu, a traditional clothing style worn by Han Chinese men, which could be as colourful as it should be, and is made of finest silk. He looks like a diva here. His ambivalence—his eyes close, his back facing us—could probably symbolise his hidden intentions, his cunningness.
And as soon as he opens his eyes? He’s incalculable and/or out to kill you.
I don’t think Yana meant the blue gaucus or sea slugs. But the mythological animal deity.
“Never stroke the blue dragon’s head.” A cautionary not to betray Lau for he’s already mapped out your next move? An instruction to keep oneself out of his way?
Why blue dragon? What is its significance to Lau?
The blue dragon was also depicted on the national flag of the Qing Dynasty (1889-1912).
“The Chinese believed that there were innumerable dragons, varying in color, size and power. An azure or blue dragon symbolized the east and was identified with spring. Red or yellow dragons represented the south and summer. A white dragon was associated with the west and autumn, while a black dragon stood for the north and winter.” ( x )
Wikipedia says:
“The Azure Dragon (Chinese: 青龍 Qīnglóng), also known as Qinglong in Chinese, is one of the Dragon Gods who represent the mount or chthonic forces of the Five Regions' Highest Deities (五方上帝 Wǔfāng Shàngdì). He is also one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations, which are the astral representations of the Wufang Shangdi. The Azure Dragon represents the east and the spring season.[1] It is also sometimes referred to as the Blue-green Dragon, Green Dragon, or the Blue Dragon (蒼龍 Cānglóng).”
It is both benevolent and auspicious.

Changing Records?
I had a very odd thought when I read through chapter 186. Now, we know the shinigami carry their books with the lists. Ronald has been seen in previous chapters looking at this list.
We've also been told that the shinigami can give someone a second chance which mean they would effectively change or alter what is written.
In chapter 186, Lau literally stabs into Ronald's book.
Could this change an entry? If a name was poked out, would this person still die if they were no longer technically on the list? Theoretically could such an act change a person's fate?
Thoughts?
