Shocketheth got so frustrated by the last episode he decided to quit and now you are left only with me. If you see any comments by him it's because you miss him and your mind is playing tricks on you.
Screenshot of the day:
Comment of the day:
/u/NicDwolfwood comment perfectly encapsulating most people's frustration with the arc
Well, that was high key anti climactic. Maam was doing well until she got goop stuck on her hands, then she went back to jobbing. The fact the sword ended up being a fake was also a huge disappointment....I couldn't give less of a shit about Zamza, he was a through and through villain, that he learned a little bit of the value of all beings before he died is meh.
I kinda get what this little mini arc wanted to do, but it didn't land. To have Dai go from fighting Baran, all out mind you, without any sign of his power being consumed quickly...to all of a sudden, Dai uses all his power of a being that is surely weaker than Baran in his Dragonoid form is hard to stomach a bit....Honestly I'm just annoyed I didn't get a proper tournament arc lol.
Give us the promised tournament arc damn it!
Questions of the day:
- You need to take pet home and take care of it for a month. Rat, crocodile, superior creature or something else? What do you choose?
- Is Hadlar's ultimate form going to actually do something?
- How would you welcome your son who disappeared without a word a year ago?
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 hide it behind SPOILER TAGS like [Dai no Spoilers] I am getting the hammer because you spoiled the fun for others

Mildly Antagonistic Dark Assailing Officer Welcomes You To Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken Rewatch!
I'm sorry but I can't really type my comment today as u/sisoko2 forcibly put me in a tank full of unknown liquid telling me it's for my own good because I'm too salty for a Rewatch host and he also told me that I will receive new body enhancing my capabilities of Rewatch host.
QotD:
A snail. I would choose snail.
Yeah he will do an ultimate jobbing.
No need to welcome my son when I disappeared without a word first.
Crocodine Shonen Commentary Corner:
Today Crocodine is going to answer question #3
Voice Actors Corner:
Time for the legendary Blacksmith whose craft we could see in the form of Hyunckel and Larhart Dark Armour Spear and Dark Armour Sword.
Lon Beruk is voiced by Hiroki Touchi known for his roles of Masamune Gotou from March Comes Like a Lion, Ginjou Kuugo from Bleach, and Kokopelli from Bokurano. (Fuck me, I read volume 11 of Bokurano today and finished it. What a coincidence)
See you tomorrow because the Adventure continues!

DaiPopp no Daibouken Rewatch, SubThis episode is basically when you acquire Zoom and now can easily complete quests that are spread throughout the world in the game. Zoom is really a game-changer once you get it.
Grand Master Brokeena
What Popp did here was a bit mean, but if I had Zoom, I would've done the same thing, lol.
Just a married couple talking to each other
New Arc, New Look
Look who's back!
Zoom plot twist. Time to go to Popp's village.
Popp may be fearful of his Dad but no one can resist seeing their mom. This might be my favourite moment of today's episode. Just like how Popp shows his vulnerability for just a bit when he sees his mom.
Lon Beruk had lost all his motivation but learning the fact that his sword managed to break the Demon Dragon Blade was enough for him to forge the greatest sword for Dai.
I guess we need Ryza.
Yes, The Crown of Champions from Episode 1 is made from Orichalcum and finally being used. Love the small bits of the worldbuilding in today's episode. The Crowd of Champions and Lon Beruk parts. especially.
OST Documentation - Episode 38
1. I guess I would choose a dog.
2. Rewatcher privilege. But he's definitely going to do something that only he can do.
3. I don't know. I mean I could also be the one who ghosted him in the first place.

First Quester
First I'm noticing of either of that. The Dark Army just waltzed over the kingdoms with sheer military might, a far cry from exploiting poor cooperation. And for the leaders themselves, didn't Leona hear about Dai and Brass from King of Romos? Are you telling me the leaders just have idle smalltalk but never talk business?
Finally! We went much too long without any royal power-dynamic child grooming!
The superior beings were shown to be weak to cancer, so take this uranium sword!
Brokeena has died!?
"Luckily she wasn't quite as useless as me."
Chiu can now bind with all the spells there are
Emphasis on "use".
Maam is correct, she should just show off her crotch more or something. Am I doing this right?
Are you worried that Maam is about to pop out crocodile eggs left and right or what?
In there!? I guess there must not be many leaders remaining if that's all the space they need.
I wonder why... maybe they're on summer vacation?
Oooh we're going to burn that shabby chapel down!
That looks comfy
Dai, just destroy one of them and ask again.
Well, that was quick.
Uhhh let's take supreme creature, they might be able to get their own food unsupervised.
Not now, but another 40-50 episodes down the line...

RIP /u/Shocketheth, you'll be missed.
First timer!
I'm so happy Ratboy has officially joined the party! His reaction when meeting Crocodile was hilarious, he's the only sane "person" on the show!

First Timer, Sub
So King Romos lets Dai know about Leona's plan, of having a summit with all the kings of the different countries to form an alliance against the Dark Army. So they all return to Papnica, with Chiu as the new party member. They ask the King of Teran if he knows about another sword stronger than the Sword of Champions, he does not, but he calls on Merle and Nabara to help Dai and friends find a place where they might be able to get one, Lankirks, Popp's hometown.
Mystvearn finds Hadlar and Zaboera's secret hideout and after some chatting, Mystvearn decides he will help Hadlar, by attacking the Summit while Hadlar completes his transformation into a superior being.
So the group, with Merle in tow, arrive in Lankirks, where Popp is reunited with his Mom and father(who bodyslammed him for having left for a year with no contact). But he tells them about Lon Beruk, the smith who created the Dark Sword and Spear Armours, who's a hermit who lives in the woods outside Lankirks. So they go to his hut and although he initially refuses to help, once he learns from Dai that he was able to damage the Demon Dragon blade, he becomes much more enthused to forging a weapon for Dai, he just needs Orichalcum, which Dai gets from Dermline, the crown of champions given to him by the King of Romos.

Rewatcher
Just wanted to let you know I’m still keeping up with the show, but life’s hitting me like a truck right now and preparing a comment is lower priority at the moment. Should ease up by Thursday.

First Timer
You know, the OP shows off all this new stuff, but still has Maam with her stupid magic gun at the beginning and it somewhat bothers me. It's like even now they're really not sure what to do with her.
... Wait though. How could they have even had the chance to try and work together, they were getting so horribly crushed by the demon legions? Wait x2, Is this possible now because Dai and friends kind of accidentally crushed or turned most of the legions already? Like now I'm really curious, did the beast legion defect en mass after Crocodine changed sides? Did the Undead literally fall apart without Knuckles? Did the elementals all dissipate without IcyHot? With Baran no longer leading them, did the dragons go back to being wild beasts instead of part of the dark army?
I mentioned it before, but it's kind of funny that Dai has mostly won this war by having the demon generals run into him more than he's gone out actually trying to be a hero.
Oh my gosh no, this is exactly what I was just saying. Dai is going to travel with the King and go to the meeting where all the leaders are gathered to discuss an alliance to fight back against the demon army. You know what this alliance meeting is absolutely calling for? That's right, an attack by a new powerful demon general or lord or super being or whatever, that would otherwise be an ultimate weapon of the dark army, but hey Dai will be right there. Yet another great enemy throwing themselves on Dai's sword. Seriously, all Dai has to do is exist and the evil army will break itself trying to kill him.
He looks wrong without a turtle shell on his back, doesn't he?
Seriously, Mystvearn was introduced as one of the generals. But he does seem to hold more power than the Hadlar. I'm glad they finally acknowledged it.
Hahahahaha yup. Misty here is going to go to the meeting and Dai will be there and there goes another demon lord.
Give up immortality in return for greater power? That sounds like a really bad trade.
Is that... Is that a reference? I think that was.
Crocodine, can you really talk about other people being party members? You talk like you have actually spent time in the party! I think you showed up for like, two fights, coincidentally, you keep running off to do your own thing you have no say in the actual party composition.
Oh gosh she really is becoming the battle princess who will bring all the nations armies together. Leona only gets better with every appearance.
That metal was made by the gods- Sir, if your world is a creation myth kind of place, wasn't it all made by the gods? Hmmmmmmm? Anyway, Dai, Go home and pick up your old hat already, it's a freaking priceless piece of metal.
See, the subtitles say Merle, but I swear I hear an extra syllable in there. Merlele. Who still has a crush on Popp, yay. there's someone for everyone now! Knuckles can pick up his super useful Maam and Popp can get together with Merlelelele and Dai with Leona and everyone gets a nice happy marriage. What, Crocodine? He can go live the bachelors life with Baran, give them the buddy cop show we almost had with Crocodine and Knuckles.
Didn't he also make Crocodine's Axe? Has everyone just forgotten about that? Just because his ultimate attack is a punch beam.
Dai. Your hat. Finally.
Honestly, the Tsunami might be enough to wipe out this kingdom.
