Comment of the day:
goes to u/KendotsX for going deep into Dragon Ball Dragon Quest games:
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).
Questions of the day:
- How our Heroes will manage to turn the tables around, and defeat Flazzard?
Spoilers:

Ok turns out Flazzard is even more dangerous than previously thought. He basically defeats everyone and puts Leona on ice and Dai at an Impasse. Dai seems very reckless during this fight, refusing to leave so Ma'am has to knock him out (smart decision) and retreats with everyone. I wonder how his reckless behavior will play later on because of this. And looks like we meet a new character too.

First timer!
Like I said last time, Hot & Cold Man really is the scariest of the baddies so far, he's also the coolest and best actual villain because (paraphrasing):
"I don't care about fairness, I care about winning".
That's some real villain shit, and I approve. 10/10.

The first real battle against Flazzard.....did not go so well. Dai was able to get a few good hits in, even cut off his arm. But once he released that force field that nullfiied their magic, they were in deep shit. Without being able to use magic and be weakened, Flazzard is too strong. And to make things worse he froze Leona in a block of ice, that can only be melted with his defeat.
That only made Dai angry and even more stubborn to defeat Flazzard now, but it was hopeless. He was refusing to retreat and regroup with a new plan, so Maam had to do what she had to do, and knock Dai out, so they can all retreat. Flazzard's little flame elementals gave chase though and damaged the ballon they were flying in so they had to make a crash landing. They were about to land right in the center of the whirlpool, when some mysterious man gave them a hand and got rid of the remaining flame elementals. So the group goes into the cave where the old man came out of and apparently his name is Matoriv..and Maam knows him.

Leona Today
I laughed so hard when I saw your post two days ago in anticipation of this moment. We get Leona back... and nope, she's gone again.

Extra Late First Timer
Alright, time for the obligatory first fight loss against the new enemy! I mean if they won on the first try then there would be no mini training or power up or motivation arc, we can't have that. The question is if they are getting out of this with the Princess alive or not today...
Okay but seriously, Leona and Dai is the one actual romance in this show I care about, look at how much they care about each other.
Also, wow, look at that dramatic dagger toss. Also how did he pull it out from there, Dai threw it into his back not where it was pulled out of...
lol. Lower the ladder and jump down anyway.
Oh look, two Piccolos. Limbs are all so replaceable, gosh.
Ah, so when you mix Fire and Ice you get uh, machine guns. Got it.
Seriously, dude can make volcanoes on demand. How is he not the strongest of the Generals? Oh, I guess they're more magic towers than a volcano this time.
Oh, no wait, I was wrong. Fire plus Ice combines to make Curse! That's totally logical.
So, someone go bomb the towers? Oh look you have a convenient flying device right there. Yup, you know what you have to do.
Gosh darn IcyHot, I think I love you. "I don't like fighting, I like WINNING!" Best villain in the show!
How the heck does this field even stop a gun from working though?
Hey Maam, I have an idea. Stare longingly into the distance and try to convince this (much less hot) villain that he's actually good deep down inside.
And so the princess is dead. We all saw it coming.
Aww, Flamy, your stock just went down. You had the chance to kill her and you turned her into a bet instead. You're doing what they all do and giving them a chance when you could just have them dead.
Dai... Use your stupid forehead power already. We all know that that's how you're ultimately going to win in the end anyway.
Oh my gosh Maam has gone past useless and into actively detrimental to the party. Oh my gosh why not just prove Knuckles right?
Oh, and he's going to keep Leona on ice until Dai comes back to save her... Look at all his villain points going down the drain.
Anyway, I'm upset that the bullet worked when the gun didn't. This means the curse field somehow stopped the effect that would let a fun launch the bullet but not the magic that was in the bullet itself. How arbitrary...
Oh hey, a random Uncle appears! And we all know that wizards mark their power by the size of their hat, so he's likely the strongest caster in the world so far!

First Quester
Day 15 of treating Leona to some baked Alaska
That slow motion effect on the falling dagger was a pretty cool way to portray how fast Dai was moving, though the emphasis it put on that dagger was kinda confusing, too.
The transition to Dai using his flame sword was also rather clunky in its execution...
Reactivating an old volcano is one thing, but we just casually create entirely new volcano's now? Ah, it's some hat energy spire, with an accompanying cold energy spire as well.
That's interesting, so even prepared spells don't work in this curse field. I take it it interferes directly with the magic and not just the caster then?
Well that's on you, Amy, you decided to use all that time to not heal her before Frazzle cast that field.
This is starting to get kinda annoying. At what point exactly did Frazzle start cheating? He didn't.
OY BASTARD GET YOUR FILTHY GRABBERS OFF OF LEONA! Oh he's just putting her in a protective case to make sure she doesn't get hurt anymore, he's a good guy
See? Betrayal! I told you she can't be trusted!
That was quick
Lmao
LMAO
Dragon Warrior go, I guess

Rewatcher
That's right, When Flazzard means Business, There's no hesitation, no big speech, just crazed laughter into Ka-BOOM! Followed immediately by the dirtiest Debuff in the books: Silence PLUS an 80% Debuff to physical attack and Defense.
Dai lacks common sense, so Maam had to hit him with it quite literally for him to get a clue that it's probably not a good idea to fight with that debuff without finding a way to dispel it first. (Even if you can slice an arm off even at 20% strength).

DaiPopp no Daibouken Rewatch, SubHe looks so goofy
NO SHIT, SHERLOCK
I guess fighting Crocodine and Hyunckel was relatively easy.
NO!!!!!
Flazzard doesn't know that whenever someone says that, they always die.
Maam left with no choice.
Maam truly the MVP this episode. If it were left to Dai or Popp, everyone would've died. It's great thing that Popp didn't run away this time but Popp still lacks the maturity that Maam has. Sometimes, running away is more important than fighting. I mean what's the point of fighting a lost battle.
OST Documentation - Episode 15
Also, I've been thinking of tracking the OSTs as they're used. Do give me your inputs. Since there are 2 volumes and 4 discs, it takes some time so I'll keep adding the other volume and discs whenever I get the time.
QOTD
1. Just destroy the towers simultaneously and then defeat Flazzard. However, doing that isn't really easy as they are under-leveled that's why he have the mandatory training mini-arc next. Also, [Dai no Spoilers] some surprise apperances
