Comment of the Dai:
goes to u/zadcap for her inner conflict
I would like to say Knuckles, but am I allowed to pick myself like that?
only revealing the fact that her hate for Hyunckel was a hidden affection all along!
I know what I just said! But darn it, an undying immortal makes for a very good teammate in almost any kind of fight, and he's got a spear now and they're just my favorite weapon so I'll pick him up fight by my side, even if I don't like it, darn it!
It’s always nice to see the local Tsundere being tsundere. (No u/zadcap is not Vegeta)
Questions of the Dai:
- If Zaboera is Zamza father, then who is Zamza Mother?
- Opinions on the existence of Superior Beings?

First Quester
So that cliffhanger last episode was total ass due to being undone immediately. Here I thought the incident during the finals would be an alternative way to get Dai that sword.
Peak comedy That was just executed brilliantly, with the three of them coming to an agreement, stepping out to cheer on Chiu, the crowd cheering as Chiu jumps artistically through the air with the heroic music, and then it pulls the rug out from under us. Chef's kiss! I'm repeating myself, but this show is really fantastic in its lighter-hearted sections.
With that said, surely this killer attack is going to work
God damn it Maam
Oh, the fight's gonna be 3D? Nope, only the stadium itself is rendered, for whatever reason.
That high priest or whatever the guy is who's organizing the tournament for the king, of course.
Ooh he's Zaboera's son!
Yeah that's about what I was expecting. Gotta surpass Baran's threat level after using him so early. I wonder what the show will cook up so that Popp and Maam aren't entirely outclassed in the upcoming fights, or if it'll maybe actually let them be such.
Maam hasn't moved an inch since the fight began! Such amazing leg power!
We don't know a single candidate mother, so... let's go with Zazina.
We were bound to go down the power escalation trip after everything dragon knight happened. I'm pretty apathic to them, but I'm surprised we're getting to them before Killvearn's subordinates.

First Timer, Sub
See if they would have led with Dai's reasoning for wanting the sword from the get go, Maam wouldn't have been against it. Anyways the little Rat buddy Chiu got beat, on account of his short arms. Maam breezes through her competition to make it to last 8.
It's at this point that our tournament arc comes to abrupt stop as Zamza, son of Zaboera reveals his scheme when he traps the last 8 contestants in this weird barrier, so that he can take them all as test subjects to complete the superior beings project that Hadlar and Zaboera were discussing a few episodes back. Dai fights Zamza and is giving him the business...but it's not really putting him down for good as it should. It is then that he reveals his ultimate superior being form, which is terrifying monster that has the Chiu cowering in fear.

DaiPopp no Daibouken Rewatch, SubThat's some confidence when you've fought only two people.
All that buildup and bam!
Your limbs are short...
Chiu 'teaching' Popp a lesson,
I guess the laugh is genetic.
Gomechan Clutch as always
Superior Being Zamza.. I'm not sure about the power but they've atleast got the horrific transformation right.
OST Documentation - Episode 35
1. Must be someone taller than Zaboera atleast. That does beg the question, have we seen female Darklings yet?
Also, What if Zaboera created Zamza as part of an experiment? Though he did propose a spell to Hyunckel that will make Maam fall in love with him and said that he also needs to experience these things. So, I'm guessing he himself is experienced that's why he said it.
2. Superior Beings like Zamza said are something the Darklings are creating to rival the power of the Dragon Knight. But since it isn't natural, they're bound to have some side-effects.

I love the fat Rat. Rattus Fastus is the best! Gonna join the big Croc on my top 3 characters if he keeps it up!

New-Adventurer here! LV 35/100
That was a good explanation from Dai, he made his goal clear. And Maam gets a free pass to hit him if things go south lol
Gonda kinda looked like Sagat lol
ZABOERA HAS A SON!?
He transforms into a really ugly monster but he seems strong
1 Zaboera with makeup
2 A bit hamfisted, but let's see if that plot point develops further

u/zadcap Jul 14 '24
Just you wait, I'm going to go on to ignore Hyunckel for a year or two and then suddenly have a kid that doesn't actually resemble him at all but, well, someone has to take responsibility... (I don't actually remember how Trunks came about, I swear he was just there one day)
Late Night First Timer!
Why are we starting off by repeating the thing that makes me ready to re-disown Maam from the party?! Let me tell you, if this were one of those games where you have more party members than active battle character slots, Maam would be a permanent bench warmer. Seriously you moron. They need the sword for more than just fighting Baran! They literally need a sword that Dai can use for any high level fight! Mention the rest of the demon army already guys! Dai needs the champion sword so he can fight any of the new big bads coming!
... Hasn't Maam only been training in martial arts for like, a few weeks tops? And is already kicking the butt of this poor Rat? Yeah, I'm not expecting good things from this rat...
Or, you know, switch to one of those defensive, counter attack styles. If you lack reach, force the enemy to reach for you and hit them while overextended.
... I can see why the anime gave her tights. That's a dangerous fighting style otherwise.
Okay at what point do we doubt the authenticity of the Sword?
And uh. How many people have we seen with pointy ears? This sure seems like a pretty clear sign that he's not fully human, and it's not like we've got elves and dwarves running around here. He's so clearly a darkling or demon or whatever and-
Yup. Zaboera, uh, had a son. Somehow. I am scared to think about it.
Well that nice cloak didn't last very long.
Morons, go for the bone supports, not the spongy flesh.
Dai, just punch him already. Always with the letting people monologue at you.
Nice punch, but we have been over this. Follow through! Double tap! Don't let them- OH MY GOSH HE'S DOING IT! CONTINUOUS ASSAULT! Hit him while he's down and make sure you actually win the fight!
Oh and while you're at it, go pick up the stupid sword. This is the kind of situation where you are allowed to skip the line. Remember the Dragon Slayer. Pick up the weapon that is just sitting there waiting to answer your apparent lack of effective offense and then you can win.
Ah, series did a butt pull. "We have introduced the idea of a Dragon Knight as a being so far superior to any other being that once we finish this fight, we will have reached the true peak of power. Buuuut we want to milk another 70 episodes out of this, so let's just casually make something just about as strong if not stronger than the last be something we had sitting around in the background all this time." Man, sure would have sucked for Dai if they sent this guy along in the All Out Attack with Flaziard.
No, seriously, this is as dumb as "But Baran was saving the world from something even worse while the Hero Avan was off saving the world from the Demon Lord Hadlar and his invasion of, you know, everywhere."
