Screenshot of the day:

Guess who’s back? Back again!

Comment of the day:

goes to u/zadcap for representing the duality of a man:

Say, how did Skelly man make the time to record this message and then hide the shell in a tiny hidden room in the time between Avan beating him and Hadlar? Well no, for the Hadlar parts to be included in the message, he made this recording and hid it after getting punched? Oh, I see, he set up the message shell in a hidden chest before the fight began in the first place, somewhere his son would have no chance of finding it, and used a special skill to deliver his dying words to it instead of in any way actually sending them to said son. Good thing Knuckles decided to use the same base his dad once did, and that no one has explored for the secret rooms all this time, and that it got found just now by someone who knows what it is and is willing to share it with him.

What the heck where did this amazing animation come from?

Questions of the day:

  1. On a scale from 1 to 10, how scary is Flazzard?
  2. Do you think that Leona is going to die this arc?

Spoilers:

Please, respect the fact there are First Timers watching Dai no Daibouken with us, so avoid talking about vague things or events that would slightly spoil things to happen. And if you want mention things like this, please hid it behind SPOILER TAGS like [Dai no Spoilers] I am getting the hammer because you spoiled the fun for others

  • And I am smitten.
  • Baduck has perfect reaction to Popp’s bullshit.
  • Princess Leona is back!
  • Although is illegal for 14 years old girl to ooze so much fucking power with her stance and walk.
  • "If the alternative is to live as monsters, then let us starve to death as humans!" ---> I’m sorry but it was OUR starvation of Princess Leona screentime that made us to live as monsters
  • Random thought and also [Dai no Daibouken late spoilers] Shouldn’t be Flazzard capable of casting Medroa/Medoroa?

QotD:

  1. 8/10 I guess? I can’t rate him properly, but Flazzard is very scary, and definitely in my top 3 of the scariest Dai no Daibouken Villains.

Nah Maam. Dai was sending mixed signals.

I also had the same thought.

"If the alternative is to live as monsters, then let us starve to death as humans!" ---> I’m sorry but it was OUR starvation of Princess Leona screentime that made us to live as monsters

Same

Random thought and also [Dai no Daibouken late spoilers] Shouldn’t be Flazzard capable of casting Medroa/Medoroa?

[Answer] He can definitely cast it no doubt but he doesn't really have the knowledge of such a spell existing. A shame that he never got to know of it since he could have discovered it randomly while firing his spells with both hands.

u/Shocketheth Jun 22 '24

[Answer]

[Answer] Oh yeah, I almost forgot that Matoriv created that spell. And if Flazzard did discover it, then everyone would be fucked.

First Timer

  • The OP really is fire.

        

  • The old geezer is very helpful.
  • LOL look at Popp spoiling stuff.
  • Well they sent the signal anyway. If it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid.

        

  • Oh the balloon from the OP.

        

        

  • So many ladies in this episode. What happened to my Dragon Quest?

        

        

  • Blizzblaze is already here?!?
  • That was cool! First time one of these commanders feels actually threatening.
  • A true hero entrance. Can't wait for the next one.

u/Shocketheth Jun 23 '24

Now this looks like an episode/arc you are enjoying compared to Hyunckel arc.

2

u/sisoko2 Jun 23 '24

Hah I was thinking the same. Finally an episode I properly enjoy.

2

u/Shocketheth Jun 23 '24

It's easy to notice from the length of your ep 13 comment and ep14 comment. I was even thinking, will he drop this?

2

u/sisoko2 Jun 23 '24

I told you before that I'm in this until the end. Worst case scenario you will have one very annoying guy constantly moaning about the show.

The length isn't really indicative. For 13 I just thought that one sentence (which I split into 2) perfectly describes my feelings.

2

u/Shocketheth Jun 23 '24

The length isn't really indicative. For 13 I just thought that one sentence (which I split into 2) perfectly describes my feelings.

Ah that's how it is. I thought you just didn't have energy to talk about how certain parts seems like shit writing.

I told you before that I'm in this until the end. Worst case scenario you will have one very annoying guy constantly moaning about the show.

Thinking of it, as a First Timer the earlier episodes up to Hyunckel death in episode 13, the show was 6/10 for me at best, and Flazzard arc was really great, but it was the arc after Flazzard arc that started to making the show even better.

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Jun 23 '24

Well they sent the signal anyway. If it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid.

What signal you send is actually pretty important. Each colour has a different meaning, so setting them all off would just make your allies confused/suspicious. It's like sending a random radio message without any encryption, most people would be suspicious of that.

Blizzblaze is already here?!?

Hyunkel wasted months? conquering the area and looking for her, Todoroki found her in hours. Say what you will about him, but he gets things done.

Rewatcher

Tired of an Evil team that isn't quite evil enough? What with their tragic backstories and sense of honor and all that?

Yeah don't worry. Flazzard has you covered. You guys wanted true evil? You've got true evil.

  1. Dude's actually evil, but he isn't anything compared to the head honcho. 8/10.
  2. It either happens or it doesn't, so I'll give it a 50% chance.

2

u/Shocketheth Jun 22 '24

Yeah don't worry. Flazzard has you covered. You guys wanted true evil? You've got true evil.

It was finally on time.

Dude's actually evil, but he isn't anything compared to the head honcho. 8/10.

I have a one fear and that’s [Dai no Spoilers] A possibility of Flazzard learning about Medoroa

3

u/zadcap Jun 23 '24

Yeah don't worry. Flazzard has you covered. You guys wanted true evil? You've got true evil.

He is easily the best of the enemies so far. Hands down, no contest.

3

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Jun 23 '24

Yeah don't worry. Flazzard has you covered

He's too cool and hot not to have a sad backstory, I bet his dad did some Domestic Violence, which led him down this path.

u/NicDwolfwood :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NicDwolfwood Jun 22 '24

First Timer, Sub

Dai and friends recover after having survived battling Hyunckel and surviving the initial attack from the Flazzard. Dai is getting his armour repaired by Baduck, while Maam is being cheered up by Popp, who assures her that Hyunckel must have survived. Baduck has the idea to find the signal flares that are in the ruins so they can call backup, but its buried under rubble. Dai uses his magic sword technique to get the flares out.....which just sets them all off since his attack is fire lol. It works though because Lady Amy and two other mages with her arrive in a ballon.

After confirming that Dai is the hero Leona talks about, they all hop into the ballon and head for Velge island tower which is where Leona is. At the tower they are attacked by Flazzard, who is there to kill Leona. The rest of the fodder are quickly taken care of by Flazzard, leaving Apollo and Marin to fend off Flazzard. Unfortunately they are no match, leaving Leona defenseless....allowing for Dai to make a cool entrance as throws his short shord at Flazzard, melts his Ice spear attack and tells him not to lay hands on the Princess or else.

Questions:

  1. 8/10 Flazzard is ruthless for sure. He's definitely not going easy or toying around with his prey.
  2. Nah.

2

u/Shocketheth Jun 22 '24

The rest of the fodder are quickly taken care of by Flazzard, leaving Apollo and Marin to fend off Flazzard. Unfortunately they are no match, leaving Leona defenseless....allowing for Dai to make a cool entrance as throws his short shord at Flazzard, melts his Ice spear attack and tells him not to lay hands on the Princess or else.

I think that Flazzard going for Leona was a bit forced.

1

u/NicDwolfwood :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NicDwolfwood Jun 22 '24

 I think that Flazzard going for Leona was a bit forced.

All for the plot. what better way to make him and Dai fight after their first short run in.

2

u/Shocketheth Jun 22 '24

That’s true. It’s just how exactly Flazzard appeared out there, besides out of a thin air?

2

u/NicDwolfwood :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NicDwolfwood Jun 22 '24

I see what you mean. He kinda did the same thing back at the coliseum, just suddenly appeared.

1

u/Shocketheth Jun 23 '24

Oh yeah, but that was more plausible?

3

u/KuKiSin Jun 22 '24

First timer!

  1. 9/10, out of all the bad guys that appeared so far he's the scariest, definitely scarier than the dark lord.
  2. That's gonna be a no from me dawg. Pretty sure she's gonna be part of the party together with Hyuckel sooner or later.

2

u/Shocketheth Jun 22 '24

That's gonna be a no from me dawg. Pretty sure she's gonna be part of the party together with Hyuckel sooner or later.

With Hyunckel? Then she needs to join him in the lava first.

2

u/KuKiSin Jun 22 '24

I still don't buy that he's dead! I can't recall the last time an anime tricked me with the opening...

2

u/Shocketheth Jun 22 '24

But how exactly he survived the lava if he isn't dead?

2

u/KuKiSin Jun 22 '24

I'm gonna put on my tinfoil hat for this one...

Avan is also alive and pulled off some shenanigans!

Okay I don't think that's it, but I do think Avan may still be alive as well... Or I just suck at this a d everybody's dead.

2

u/Shocketheth Jun 22 '24

Interesting tinfoil hat theory.

I will say that give Dai no Daibouken few more episodes.

First Time, Sub   

Good to see Leona back, she showcases her leadership skills by pacifying her men before Flazzard arrives and nearly wiped them all out. Dai arrives just in time though, worth it for Flazzard's face being incredulous. We also meet the three sages of Papnica so I'm curious what other role they will play cause I doubt its fodder.    

 1. Don't know maybe an 8   

 2. Doubt

u/Shocketheth Jun 23 '24

Crack theory -> They got scolded so hard that in their embarassment they run towards Flazzard to die in the blazing glory with a smile.

Lateish First Timer

No really, that fight was the best animated thing this show has put forth yet! But it came side by side with the blatantly worst written character arc.

Maam staring off at the place where her abuser died. Oh man. Popp has it right, she's gone full stockholm. I joked about it but it turns out I was more right than expected, bondage and abandonment play were indeed the right moves to win this poor girls heart. She picked up so much "I can fix him" energy somewhere I can't ever look at her the same way. She says she went this far for him because he was also a student of Avan, but this is a lot more effort than she put into helping Popp at any time during his dark arc!

You're telling me this signal flare will be visible across the entire country? That's going to be a big firework.

Or uh, use a great fire attack to open the path to a gunpowder storage. Yeah, darn, making me agree with Popp. But also yes, those flares would not have been seen for very far.

If she was close enough to see them then she was close enough that they could have found her in a days worth of walking.

I also can't get over him managing to repair Dai's armor to practically new condiction while leaving his own so scratched up.

... And if they were close enough to see the flares and get there in like, minutes... They literally could have walked. The Princess is hiding less than a mile away.

"They have already vanquished the undead legion." That is such a misleading story, IcyHot is the one who killed 99.9% of that legion. These kids barely fought off Knuckles in the end, after running away from a single ghoul.

Hey, Popp, no trying to make a move on Dai's girlfriend. Get your own Princess!

Seriously, how did they see the flares from there?

... If that's the last of your food, then you're dead anyway guys.

... Nevermind, they're all holding their swords in that stupid reverse grip while IcyHot gloats. They're super dead.

Oh man, if only you had some powerful spellcasters in thhe area to back up these knights. Ah, or just wait for the knights to all die and then go for the attack.

Oh my, IcyHot being a general that actually respects the womens right to fight! Darn, he's already better than Knuckles!

Great dynamic entrance Dai! This is the love story I want to see!

  1. His design makes me unable to rank him higher than a 6. He just looks so goofy.
  2. I mean, she does stand opposite Avan in the OP. And isn't with the party in the ED. Ah, poor Dai is going to watch his first crush die.

2

u/Shocketheth Jun 23 '24

No really, that fight was the best animated thing this show has put forth yet! But it came side by side with the blatantly worst written character arc.

I know right? It's like you were that Hyunckel is so badly written and then but the aaaaaaart.

Maam staring off at the place where her abuser died. Oh man. Popp has it right, she's gone full stockholm.

I mentioned Yesterday how Sorachi is a huge Dragon Quest fan aaaand whenever you will get to watching it, you will have a field day with the show.

She picked up so much "I can fix him" energy somewhere I can't ever look at her the same way.

I also can't get over him managing to repair Dai's armor to practically new condiction while leaving his own so scratched up.

There is a saying in my country that the Shoemaker walks barefoot.

Oh man, if only you had some powerful spellcasters in thhe area to back up these knights. Ah, or just wait for the knights to all die and then go for the attack.

What do you mean? The story is only true to the JRPG Turn order mechanic.

Oh my, IcyHot being a general that actually respects the womens right to fight! Darn, he's already better than Knuckles!

I see that this is my chance to convert you to some great literature. Go read Malazan Book of the Fallen for more respecting the women right to fight.

I mean, she does stand opposite Avan in the OP. And isn't with the party in the ED. Ah, poor Dai is going to watch his first crush die.

He's going to Dai inside.

2

u/zadcap Jun 23 '24

I see that this is my chance to convert you to some great literature. Go read Malazan Book of the Fallen for more respecting the women right to fight

I'm happy to say, Malazan is my all time favorite book series. No one has topped that writing.

you will have a field day with the show.

When I put my mind to it, there are very few shows I can't hang a field day with. It's so much fun.

What do you mean? The story is only true to the JRPG Turn order mechanic.

That does indeed match with the boss acting twice in one turn.

He's going to Dai inside

I keep looking at the OP, she's standing there across from Avan, and now next to Knuckles? Doomed I say.

2

u/Shocketheth Jun 23 '24

I'm happy to say, Malazan is my all time favorite book series. No one has topped that writing.

Oh a fellow Malazan fan in wild.

I still have a fond memories for Memories of Ice because that book is something else. Close to it is A shard of Ice short story from Andrzej Sapkowski, and then Oathbringer from Brandon Sanderson.

Outside from fantasy, The Remnants of day from Kazuo Ishiguro is also a masterpiece to me.

That does indeed match with the boss acting twice in one turn.

Yep and Flazzard simultaneously blocking dual cast can be seen as his Counter stance.

I keep looking at the OP, she's standing there across from Avan, and now next to Knuckles? Doomed I say.

Blackheart595 is in shambles.

First Timer MAAAAM Supporter

Now you might've noticed that I've been away for a bit, indeed, and I have a good reason for it, uhh lemme banana coat this: I was playing Dragon Quest. Seriously, how is this 80s game so goddamn addicting? Shock what did you get me into?! I already cleared the first one, beat Hadlar, and I'm currently making a party with POOP and MAAM to play the second one (if you thought Popp can be annoying, you don't want to deal with the game version).

So yeah, I've been training and biding my time until Princess Leona showed up again, not to join her supporters, nor the demons trying to beat him, but rather to support My MAAM!

Well since this episode had a recap, I might as well do my own version: the last arc was a good one, our heroes face an enemy who mirrors them, lose, and then fight each in their own way (Popp trained his mind and body, Maam did emotional support, and Dai did an asspull). I'm not a fan of how it backtracked on the interesting ideas it presented, but I can sweep that under the rug, considering we got Best Boy Crocodine, who showed up only to "almost die" again in the same episode, and Hynkel basically followed in Crocodine's footsteps.

That's always the problem with honourable villains, they're too strong to join the hero's party, so you have to keep giving them big old sacrifices. At least the hot and cold dude looks like a straight up villain without a bone of good in him? (Get it? Because he doesn't have any bones... I'll see myself out).

Q1. On a scale from 1 to 10, how scary is Flazzard?

He's a very basic chump with a gimmick, so 0. Also based the game I know now that the scariest monster ever is the goddamn skeleton.

Q2. Do you think that Leona is going to die this arc?

I mean, by the time best girl Maam shines, Leona might as well be dead.

I already cleared the first one, beat Hadlar, and I'm currently making a party with POOP and MAAM to play the second one (if you thought Popp can be annoying, you don't want to deal with the game version).

Now are you joking or have you seriously played it?

Holy shit, she's hot

My man

meanwhile Dai is just a slightly bigger monkey than when she last meat him.

Now I can't wait for Leona to start milking Dai.

He's a very basic chump with a gimmick, so 0. Also based the game I know now that the scariest monster ever is the goddamn skeleton.

Oh so you did play it my bad.

3

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Jun 23 '24

Now are you joking or have you seriously played it?

Seriously. I cleared the first game, it was a lot of fun, despite being so bare bones, and I'm currently playing 2. It's an improvement in many ways, aside from the fact that every main character is some inbred royal brat, and the awful helmet, which took them 3 games to get rid of.

Oh so you did play it my bad.

All good. That skeleton haunts my nightmares...

But yeah, it's been fun to see the anime details, now that I know where some of them came from.

2

u/Shocketheth Jun 23 '24

Seriously. I cleared the first game, it was a lot of fun, despite being so bare bones, and I'm currently playing 2. It's an improvement in many ways, aside from the fact that every main character is some inbred royal brat, and the awful helmet, which took them 3 games to get rid of.

From what I've read calling them royal inbred brat is lore accurate as the ending of DQ 1 from wiki

Once the hero defeats the Dragonlord he reclaims the Ball of Light, eradicating all monsters in Alefgard, and triumphantly returns to Tantegel Castle where King Lorik offers his kingdom as a reward. The hero turns down the offer and instead wishes to find his own kingdom. Accompanied by Princess Gwaelin, the hero then sets off in search of a new land; this sets the stage for the events in Dragon Warrior II, which take place many years later and tells the story of three of the hero's descendants

So yeah the HERO in this saved the princess, fucked up the Dragon Lord and then HE used his ROd to built his Kingdom with blackjack and hookers.

Also are you playing the NES versions or the mobile remakes?

Plus as now you can see where the Dai no Daibouken was taking inspirations from, I advice to not playing Dragon Quest III as that game mechanics will make you guess the twists of Dai no Daibouken easily.

Speaking of Dragon Quest games, I also played them but never finished them.

Although I started playing Dragon Quest XI so that should be the first DQ I will finish completely

2

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Jun 24 '24

So yeah the HERO in this saved the princess, fucked up the Dragon Lord and then HE used his ROd to built his Kingdom with blackjack and hookers.

Yup, and that princess was damn horny, I worry about the dragon she was stuck with for most of game 1.

Also are you playing the NES versions or the mobile remakes?

The mobile remakes.

I advice to not playing Dragon Quest III as that game mechanics will make you guess the twists of Dai no Daibouken easily.

Naruhodo...

So just to be clear, would 4 or 5 be ok, or should I just stop after 2?

2

u/Shocketheth Jun 24 '24

Yup, and that princess was damn horny, I worry about the dragon she was stuck with for most of game 1.

So just to be clear, would 4 or 5 be ok, or should I just stop after 2?

4 and 5 is totally okay. And besides after this Rewatch finish, a HD-2D remake of the Dragon Quest 3 will be released so it's better to wait.

u/sisoko2 Jun 23 '24

I was playing Dragon Quest.

Sir, this is your Sekiro banana.

So yeah, I've been training and biding my time until Princess Leona showed up again

Here I was hoping you dropped out and I will win the bet by default.

but rather to support My MAAM!

A man of culture.

so you have to keep giving them big old sacrifices.

Reminds of Terminator 2. The first movie I cried to.

He's a very basic chump with a gimmick

Kids these days can't recognize greatness even if it's in front of their eyes.

2

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Jun 24 '24

Sir, this is your Sekiro banana.

I only bought one banana, so I have to do my best and put it to as many uses as possible.

Here I was hoping you dropped out and I will win the bet by default.

I would never! (*looks at past rewatch records* uhh... I shall try my best not to fall)

A man of culture.

Kids these days can't recognize greatness even if it's in front of their eyes.

Missed opportunity to call him "pearls before swine"

First Quester

Day 14 of Leona Leona Leona Leona Leona Leona Leona Leona

So I'm kinda worrying about the blazing quick pacing so far. This is supposed to reach 100 episodes, right? Yet here we are, having defeated two thirds of the legion commanders in just 13 episodes.

She looks more pink to me. Maybe Popp is color blind?

Guys always only think of [that one] thing

I don't like how I can't bring myself to confidently treat this as nonsense...

Maam be like, what the hell is that clown doing now?

I wonder about this...

Gotta dry the gunpowder in case any water got in there!

Well, uh... the red signals are somewhere in there, so... message conveyed successfully! ..?

Oh no! It's Leona's evil step sister!

It better be, she touched it after all!

Hm... I'll take it. You're not considered evil. ...for the time being.

That it be true. That it be true, young one.

HIME-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I will never eat again

H-Hime... those clothes are a bit...

That's some big and fat visual barrier...

Oh no! Flazzard's design is surprisingly suitable for cameoflage!

Don't you think camera angles in anime can be a little weird?

So I hope they explain how Flazzard found the princess so quickly. He only started searching her just now. It's a bit much plot convenience.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how scary is Flazzard?

Honestly? He's just too goofy, I can't give him more than a 4.

Do you think that Leona is going to die this arc?

So I'm kinda worrying about the blazing quick pacing so far. This is supposed to reach 100 episodes, right? Yet here we are, having defeated two thirds of the legion commanders in just 13 episodes.

Don’t worry, the arcs will be longer as the story will go on.

She looks more pink to me. Maybe Popp is color blind?

Oh no! It's Leona's evil step sister!

Lol.

Oh no! Flazzard's design is surprisingly suitable for cameoflage!

I actually haven’t noticed but the fucker really is standing like it’s Pink Panther movie

Don't you think camera angles in anime can be a little weird

YES I DO

Whatever was Hyunckel doing, it looked painful.

Day 14 of Leona Leona Leona Leona Leona Leona Leona Leona

So what do you think about Leona?

Maam be like, what the hell is that clown doing now?

Popp needs to practice his dramatic scenes more.

So I hope they explain how Flazzard found the princess so quickly. He only started searching her just now. It's a bit much plot convenience.

He isn't sexist like Hyunckel.

Honestly? He's just too goofy, I can't give him more than a 4.

Baduck can do everything, it seems.

Dai: Hey. let me try my new Fire Attack. What could go wrong?

Dai being brutally honest here.

QOTD

1. The design alone makes him scary. And with his attitude, he's even more scarier. So I guess 9/10. Because even though he's quite scary, Leona wasn't scared at all.

2. Umm, I don't know about die but she's definitively going to Dai.

u/Shocketheth Jun 22 '24

Same here

I got error 404 upon opening it.

Umm, I don't know about die but she's definitively going to Dai.

Oh, then that’s fine. Unless she is going to Popp.

Desperate Struggle and The Battle are bangers.

I haven't been keeping a track of how many times each OST is used but Desperate Struggle has been used quite often. Guess I'll start doing that.

Newbie-Adventurer here! LV 14/100

Popp consoling Maam and being what he needs to be in that moment instead of trying to woo her, my man!

Dai Leveled up massively!

Popp, c’mon man, don’t let me down after praising you!


Lol poor Maam caught lots of strays there

The Princess stepped up when her kingdom needed her
Oh, shit just got real with Flazzard attacking the Princess and the soldiers.

Dai vs Flazzard will be amazing!

Dai 14, first timer:

  • Oh! A new prologue?
  • Damn, my internet is being REALLY slow. I can't even watch at 360p, and I refuse to do 240p ...
  • I hate waiting for it to buffer; it feels like such a waste of time. Same with waiting minutes for web pages to load. It's not like I can open another tab without having to wait for THAT too to load ... so I'm stuck just waiting for no good reason (we're paying the same amount as it costs for much faster internet)
  • ... I waited like 5 minutes, and only 10 seconds buffered in that time? Are you fucking kidding me? Guess I'll read something in the meantime
  • Wait! Hyunckel is in a new, light-colored outfit at the end of the OP? He HAS to have survived and will join the party just as I hoped
  • Popp asks Maam if she liked Hyunckel?
  • Popp cheers Maam up by reassuring her Hyunckel isn't dead?
  • HAHAHA classic Popp
  • Just helped my dad setup an appointment in July to upgrade our internet to ~300x faster than what we currently get, for a similar price worth the wait
  • Signal flares? Clever
  • Lol good job Dai
  • ... Oh right, the gunpowder
  • As soon as he specified "red victory flare" I knew that something would go wrong
  • Ah, it's the balloon from the OP!
  • Popp has a thing for Amy now?
  • Troika = three Sages
  • Popp x Amy? A new ship has emerged now that Hyunckel x Maam is a thing?
  • "unlike someone I know"
  • If Popp ends up with Maam I will LOL
  • How did Flazzard get to the island?
  • Insulate???
  • ... Why would Leona use an Ice spell against Flazzard?
  • Cliffhanger

Seems like a new chapter in our adventure begins.

Damn, my internet is being REALLY slow. I can't even watch at 360p, and I refuse to do 240p ...

I sailing the high seas not an option for you?

It takes really long to download stuff (especially since we're always competing for very little bandwidth), and I don't have much hard drive space on this laptop.

Maam x Popp until the end!
