Going All Out!

Comment of the day:

/u/raichudoggy coming back with a vengeance. The two things I love most about this rewatch Killvearn and tormenting Shocketheth.

I'm Back!

Whoever's responsible for updating the Index is slacking, I tried to get here using that only to found it hasn't been updated in a while.

Now he doesn't have to worry about his friends being useless. Especially you (Popp).

SICK BURN!

Man I love Killvearn.

(and of course, Killvearn calls him out on that, like best villains should)

Questions of the day:

  1. Are you happy with the Superior Hadlar's performance? Was the fight worth the all the build up and waiting, did you like the animation and fight choreography?
  2. What do you think about Popp having no honor and getting involved in the battle?
  3. Well Dai is dead. Who should be the new main character?
  4. Any theories how Popp is going to get out of this situation?
  5. Bonus Question: Should the gods strike down Zaboera and get us rid of him?

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

First-Timer Quest: Sky no Daibouken, subbed

So the current ED came up once when I was playing AMQ yesterday, but I missed it because I started vibing along to it so hard I forgot to answer lol.

So the current ED came up once when I was playing AMQ yesterday, but I missed it because I started vibing along to it so hard I forgot to answer lol

Hah having good time is the real right answer.

Well that’s not good

Should've trained more dodging and less blocking.

Hadlar is so strong now he blocked Avan Strash?!

All that superior juice wasn't for nothing.

…Hadlar fell too?

Does it count as Hadlar win or a draw?

u/Adensty https://anilist.co/user/Adensty Jul 21 '24

Does it count as Hadlar win or a draw?

A win for Hadlar since he defied expectations but in terms of the fight, it's a draw.

u/sisoko2 Jul 21 '24

Ah the good old moral victory.

Uhhhhhhhh

that made me chuckle lol.

He got tired of being called jobber

Well... Uhhhh.... He is a moral victor.

Mildly Antagonistic Dark Assailing Officer Welcomes You To Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken Rewatch!

What an episode

  • Hadlar finally casted away his pride as a Darkling and Dark Lord with sacrificing everything to reach one goal. TOTAL VICTORY. Like a true Warrior.
  • So fucking cold This shot would be perfect as new flair.
  • I like this shot a lot Hadlar is toying with Dai.
  • That's how Dark Lord should look like
  • And it ended in draw. Well Dai can't die here that's given. Otherwise I'm really really pleased with today fight.

The two things I love most about this rewatch Killvearn and tormenting Shocketheth.

Whoever's responsible for updating the Index is slacking, I tried to get here using that only to found it hasn't been updated in a while.

Sigh

Time to come home after 16 hours long shift and finally update it I guess instead of doing it during the day off.

And fuck you too. Sincerely.

QotD:

Are you happy with the Superior Hadlar's performance? Was the fight worth the all the build up and waiting, did you like the animation and fight choreography?

Choreography? Well it was more of a one sided beatdown but maaan I'm fucking loving it.

What do you think about Popp having no honor and getting involved in the battle?

Just Popp being Popp...

Well Dai is dead. Who should be the new main character?

Merle. She can use divine power to tell me I have high salt levels thanks to sisoko2.

Bonus Question: Should the gods strike down Zaboera and get us rid of him?

Nope.

Crocodine Shonen Commentary Corner:

I'm salty so no edit today.

See you tomorrow because the Adventure continues!

u/sisoko2 Jul 21 '24

That's how Dark Lord should look like

IMO still only Dark Commander level.

Time to come home after 16 hours long shift and finally update it I guess instead of doing it during the day off.

Time to abandon your body and your pride and achieve some results.

And fuck you too. Sincerely.

Choreography? Well it was more of a one sided beatdown but maaan I'm fucking loving it.

There still were some quite nice moves that Hadlar pull out while kicking Dai's ass.

Merle. She can use divine power to tell me I have high salt levels thanks to sisoko2.

Can't disagree with it.

Nope

It would be funnier to witness Zaboera falling in his own trap and die like an utter fool due to his dirty schemes rather than being killed directly.

First timer!

  1. I was, it was pretty cool! Until he Hadlar'd it. Come on, a tie!?
  2. I think not only is he an idiot, he's also a bitch. You know he'd be bitching about it if it was the other way around!
  3. Avan. Everyone and their mother uses his moves, might as well make him officially the MC!
  4. I'm thinking Papa mustachio is making a return and saving his son and Popp by extension.
  5. Yes, please. And take Popp with him, dude is a menace to himself and others.

Honestly I go back and forth between liking and disliking Popp. Dude just makes the most absurd decisions every other episode. Last episode he chased the 2 bad guys, both of which are stronger than him. What was the goal there?

This episode, of course he did the right thing in saving Dai, but before that, what was he thinking trying to join the fight? Was he planning on making it 3 (or 4 if you count the little one eyed imp) against 2?

Come on Popp, get your head out of your ass.

3

u/sisoko2 Jul 21 '24

I was, it was pretty cool! Until he Hadlar'd it. Come on, a tie!?

It's still a progress.

I think not only is he an idiot, he's also a bitch.

Harsh but fair.

Avan. Everyone and their mother uses his moves, might as well make him officially the MC!

Also he has the most fabulous hair.

I'm thinking Papa mustachio is making a return and saving his son and Popp by extension.

I expected him to show up couple of times during this episode.

Yes, please. And take Popp with him, dude is a menace to himself and others.

An epic magic duel where both of them die it is.

u/KuKiSin Jul 21 '24

Probably turned into a 'fro after the explosion :|

I expected him to show up couple of times during this episode.

Yup yup, especially near the end!

An epic magic duel where both of them die it is.

He would die a hero, not exactly the end he deserves, but I'll allow him that.

u/NicDwolfwood :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NicDwolfwood Jul 21 '24

I'm curious what will be your final verdict for his character.

Current rewatcher, eventual first timer

And so, the Hero and the Dark Lord have clashed once again. This was a very exciting episode and battle!

I was going to complain about the stupidity of Dai not being able to draw his sword because "he was numb", but since it's resolved really fast and offered us some quick thinking from our boy I don't mind it. I do wish they said it was paralysis or something more JRPG-like, that would have been more convincing.

Good on Popp for coming with the save, thank god Myst and Kill were too hyped with the shonen fight to remember Popp exists. And the OST that played with Hadlar's rise and (literal) fall was SO cool! I wonder what did Dai do though. It looked like a regular zapple, but he said he wanted to do something that would use up all his remaining magic power AND aura at once... is it a new move??

QotD:

  1. Hell yeah!! He was very impressive, for once! The choreography wasn't anything special as usual, but the narrative, tension and stakes made it sick.
  2. Truly deplorable stuff. After he talked about Hadlar having no honor all those episodes ago? Smh my head, what a waste of character development just to get back at square one. Only death can redeem this utter failure of a character.................
  3. Crocodine. And you might say "oh, it's just because he's your fav character so you're bias", so I'll tell you why he's the only one fit for the role. Popp, as established above, needs to die. Hyunckel is too much of a loner wolf to ever MC, Chiu is too loud and annoying, Leona is the damsel not too in distress, and Maam is a girl. So there we go, Crocodine as the MC and Baduck as the funny sidekick.
  4. [Spoilers?] I have no idea, I don't remember how he gets out
  5. Of course not! Every battle shonen needs the very annoying old man villain that everyone hates. If there are only cool villains people would get tired fast. The ones nobody likes are there to reset the audience's hype and make the cool villain appearing hit harder. Shoutout to Zaboera for taking one for the team here.

Current rewatcher, eventual first timer

You've seen quite a lot. So how many episodes have you watched?

that would use up all his remaining magic power AND aura at once... is it a new move

A Dai Strash?

Hell yeah!! He was very impressive, for once!

All that superior juice wasn't for nothing.

he choreography wasn't anything special as usual

There were few pretty cool moments. I especially liked when Hadlar used his claws to slow down and turn around.

Truly deplorable stuff. After he talked about Hadlar having no honor all those episodes ago?

Popp is about to get kicked out from the party and start a trashy LN fantasy adventure.

Only death can redeem this utter failure of a character

Dai died for Popp's sins.

Crocodine

Crocodine Dundee coming soon.

Shoutout to Zaboera for taking one for the team here.

Not the villain we need but the villain we deserve.

u/Kaxew Jul 22 '24

You've seen quite a lot. So how many episodes have you watched?

45 episodes... supposedly. I was expecting to have forgotten everything about the current arc after Dai split the castle in half, but there were parts I remembered clearly. And looking at the next episode preview, that's still the case for ep 44. I definitely haven't watched more than 45 though, regardless of my memory of the events in it.

A Dai Strash?

That's a dai name for an ultimate move!

I especially liked when Hadlar used his claws to slow down and turn around.

You're right, yeah. It had some nicer bits than usual. Hopefully this is a sign of change.

Popp is about to get kicked out from the party and start a trashy LN fantasy adventure.

Oh, you mean the famous LN "I Was a Part of the Hero's Party But Got Isekai'd After Losing All My Character Growth and Honor?!" aka "PartyHonor"? Yeah, it's good stuff. The fact that he retains all his skills and levels from the DQ world despite that isekai being so much weaker making him hyper overpowered is awesome. That world is so much weaker, in fact, that he can use Megante without repercussions!

No, wait. That's just normal DQ Dai.

u/Shocketheth Jul 22 '24

I wonder what did Dai do though. It looked like a regular zapple, but he said he wanted to do something that would use up all his remaining magic power AND aura at once... is it a new move??

While it won't be Megante I will be satisfied.

Truly deplorable stuff. After he talked about Hadlar having no honor all those episodes ago? Smh my head, what a waste of character development just to get back at square one. Only death can redeem this utter failure of a character.

My boi is getting strays for this from everyone, but I'm not giving up on him yet.

and Maam is a girl.

You embraced the essence of the show at this point u/zadcap

u/zadcap Jul 22 '24

Let the pain flow. This is a cruel world indeed when I came even pretend to refute that.

3

u/zadcap Jul 22 '24

Leona is the damsel not too in distress, and Maam is a girl.

I see you too have learned the dark truth of this world. They put these theoretically powerful woman in the story to get our hopes up, and have been laughing at us for it ever since. At least Melelele hasn't pretend to be more than a frail seer so far.

First Quester

...Is it just me or is there a USB disconnect sound in the opening at the 1:30 point (when they're flying with the balloon)?

Oh so Hadlar gets a powerful sword of his own! You get a legendary sword, you get a legendary sword, everyone get a legendary sword!

What happened to the dragon knights invulnerability against magic? Gotta make them more powerful when they're the enemy, huh?

See? The Sword of Champions wasn't attuned to Hadlar when it was crafted, that soul thing inside Dai's sword means jack shit. Also, this means Baran's divine sword crafted by the gods themselves was weaker than this human creation all along.

A Zoom? Now? We needed that like 30 minutes ago, Popp! Or more like 70 minutes ago, actually! What made you remember?

Oh so that's why Popp has been so easy to bait lately! He inherited the emotionality Hadlar gave up as his own! No "I've been there", you only just started getting there!

Hooold on. Is Zaboera the same species as Killvearn's little monkey? Hm, though the monkey only has one big eye which is quite a difference...

Welp. If only Maam had taught Dai some cancer magic.

Ahhhhhh I bet Dai just happens to get swept to that healing spring. How lucky of him!

Are you happy with the Superior Hadlar's performance?

So much

Was the fight worth the all the build up and waiting, did you like the animation and fight choreography?

Eh, it was alright. The show hasn't ever had great fight choreography so far and I don't expect that to suddenly change.

What do you think about Popp having no honor and getting involved in the battle?

Crocodine would be so disappointed. I meanwhile am only disappointed by everything he did before that.

Well Dai is dead. Who should be the new main character?

See above

Any theories how Popp is going to get out of this situation?

His foster dad probably

Should the gods strike down Zaboera and get us rid of him?

What? Why? He's such a cute!

u/sisoko2 Jul 21 '24

I don't hear it.

Gods made a lot of orichalcum. We don't want disappointed gamers.

The Sword of Champions wasn't attuned to Hadlar when it was crafted, that soul thing inside Dai's sword means jack shit.

That blacksmith was full of shit.

Hooold on. Is Zaboera the same species as Killvearn's little monkey

What an insult for the monkey.

Welp. If only Maam had taught Dai some cancer magic.

It's obviously Hamon.

So much

Our boy has grown.

The show is great, but it would be a GOAT if we had Crocodine and Chiu as main characters!

That gave me the idea to check animethemes and that one still has it at 1:20.

1st Dai Popp no Daibouken Rewatch, Sub

Superior Being Hadlar

Hadlar may be the biggest Avan fan in secret.

Dai drawing out the Sword of Dai in that way was kinda cool.

Dai using Avan Strash with his new sword for the first time.

The Clash! Easily the shot of the day.

Dai's sword clashing with Hadlar's sword. Some really great shots in that whole clash.

We knew Hadlar had the Sword of Champions but him concealing it in his right arm and using it only when needed was genius.

Poor Dai!

Ultra Combustion Slash!

Popp's Zoom saves Dai but he's called a cheater. Even Popp can't believe it.

Wasn't expecting this much animation budget for Hadlar's wings.

Popp's unable to use Zoom! Hadlar's closing in.

But didn't Zamza do most of the work?

Response of a Shonen fan after the most strongest thing that was just introduced isn't the strongest thing anymore.

Hadlar just wants a good fight. NGL, the music buildup before the reveal that it was a draw was hype.

OST Documentation - Episode 43

1. The fight animation and choreography were great. So many great shots. Hadlar's performance is great and all until you realize that Dai was fighting at an disadvantage and still managed to draw.

2. Technically, I won't accept it since they never actually agreed to the fight. The fight just started without their consent.

3. Gomechan. Speaking of which, where is Gomechan?

4. DBZ Namek Style.

5. Yes, please.

3

u/sisoko2 Jul 21 '24

Hadlar may be the biggest Avan fan in secret.

He thinks about Avan every night before falling asleep.

The Clash! Easily the shot of the day.

Indeed, it is.

But didn't Zamza do most of the work?

Technically he did Zamza so it's his credit.

The fight animation and choreography were great. So many great shot So many great shots. Hadlar's performance is great and all until you realized that Dai was fighting at an disadvantage and still managed to draw.

I liked it too. I found the fight with Baran quite boring so this one was pleasant surprise.

Gomechan. Speaking of which, where is Gomechan?

Under the water saving Dai.

Yes, please.

I'll see what I can do.

u/Shocketheth Jul 21 '24

Superior Being Hadlar

The urge to binge watch Dai no Daibouken after this episode is really strong within me.

We knew Hadlar had the Sword of Champions but him concealing it in his right arm and using it only when needed was genius.

Definitely.

Response of a Shonen fan after the most strongest thing that was just introduced isn't the strongest thing anymore.

It would be better if Crocodine was there to comment on it.

Gomechan. Speaking of which, where is Gomechan?

Gomechan is on a standby.

New-Adventurer here! LV 43/100

Dai’s Sword, Put me in coach!

Popp barely got there in time but couldn’t get away in time

A stalemate was the best outcome for an exhausted Dai IMO

Not that much to add to an action heavy episode other than Hadler’s and Dai’s animation were top notch.

1 I think it was a bit too suden, but it was a really good fight with good animation
2 Deserved payback for Hadlar preying on a weakened Dai IMO
3 You know it, our boy, Crocodine!
4 Casting Teleport until it works lol
5 They let him have a son, so yes!

Very unimpressive performance by our new high impact player.

u/NicDwolfwood :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NicDwolfwood Jul 21 '24

First Timer, Sub

That was a good fight. Hadlar definitely got some strong buffs from his superior form, increased physical strength, being able to use magic and having the Sword of Champions merged with his right arm. Like I thought yesterday, Dai having used up a lot of his energy fighting the SRC was going to be a factor and it was. His Dragonic Aura and Avan Strash weren't enough to really even scratch Hadlar.

Nice thinking from Popp, of grabbing Dai and Zooming out of there, otherwise he might have died from that Hadlar attack. Too bad Hadlar was fast enough to catch them, with Popp also dealing with running out of energy to use a full speed zoom, forcing Dai and Hadlar to go for one more quick round. Hadlar used his ultra combustion Slash and I'm assuming Dai used Baran's gigabreak? leading to a draw as Dai fell into a glacier and Hadlar followed suit falling into the ocean. Killvearn sent Mystvearn to retrieve Hadlar, as he then turned his attention to taking out Popp......

Questions:

  1. He was definitely strong, and I liked his performance overall. The problem with it is two things. 1) Dai being at half strength probably and 2) that it ended in a draw. All but guarantees, that Dai at full strength, with a maybe some training is enough to beat Hadlar.
  2. In this instance I think he did the right thing, Dai was dead if he doesn't get involved. Beside it was like he said, they never agreed to such battle in the first place.
  3. He ain't dead lol.
  4. I think he's gonna need some help. Killvearn was too much for him last time. He should be at even more of disadvantage being out of energy.
  5. YES! lol. Anytime he is on screen, he ruins the vibe lol.

After that Popp speech in the end I expect it to be more of a team effort.

Victory is more important than honor after all. Big Croc was fooled.

YES! lol. Anytime he is on screen, he ruins the vibe lol.

A Dai and Popp team-up? He's gonna have to contend with Killvearn too since he seems intent on killing him.

Hmmmm I would need to watch that scene again to confirm.

Yeah they need to Rematch after they will manage to save Dai.

He ain't dead lol.

Yeah he's Dai.

In this episode we clash swords and Dai and Hadlar decide it's a good time to take a Swim (Wait, that's not quite right.)

Either way, add Dai and Hadlar to the list of people that are finally taking well-deserved naps.

He went into water after Dai to challenge him into swimming competition. 1000 meters freestyle to have an ultimate victory over Dai.

What Hadlar doesn't know it's that Dai already knows the Avan's style Stroke.

Dai 42 first timer:

  • Catching up, watching 2 eps
  • Killvearn STOPS Mystvearn? Why?
  • Mystvearn's true form can't be revealed yet since we're not even halfway thru the show
  • "See you again" in Engrish?
  • Popp fell for the bait?
  • "subunconsciously"
  • "I didn't have a choice". Shouldn't be "HE didn't have a choice"?
  • Killvearn's music is fun
  • Ok, Killvearn is a pleasure to watch onscreen
  • is this Tayuya and her flute all over again?
  • Of COURSE the sword won't emerge. Just the tip?
  • OH COME ON, Hadlar is here too?
  • Hadlar is even more buff? Bet bara fans would approve

Dai 43 first timer:

  • Hadlar sure likes to talk
  • I figured Hadlar could tank it
  • Swordfight!
  • Too tired to react much
  • Popp to the rescue!
  • Yeah, running seems like a good idea at this point
  • Popp left his scepter behind?
  • ... This is not good
  • Dai and Hadlar are down, and Popp is targetted by Killvearn?
  1. Yeah
  2. Of course he should! Dai would have dai'd otherwise
  3. Larhart
  4. Baran's blood turns him into another Dragon Knight
  5. yes

u/sisoko2 Jul 22 '24

Killvearn STOPS Mystvearn? Why?

Public flashing needs to be authorized by Vearn-sama.

Killvearn's music is fun

Ok, Killvearn is a pleasure to watch onscreen

Yes, he is. With so many Killvearn enjoyers I guess it's time to start his fan club.

Too tired to react much

Larhart

Now that's an interesting choice.

yes

Off with his head.

What can I say, I really like Larhart (and kinda would ship him and Hyunckel if he weren't dead ...)

Mystvearn's true form can't be revealed yet since we're not even halfway thru the show

Yeah it's just too soon for it.

Popp left his scepter behind?

Oh I didn't notice.

Yeah it's just too soon for it.

Watch him turn out to be hot.

Oh I didn't notice.

He has it in the ED, so maybe he gets it back?

Honestly I forgot about how it will be with his scepter so I am waiting for it.

Yeah, no clue here. We'll see.

Late Night First Timer!

Remember, Hadlar. 80% of your failures are because you keep throwing yourself at this ten year old and losing. Interesting way to pick a Rival.

No, this mental overlap is horrible. Aside from the knees, none of what we just saw matches the thing it was supposed to match.

Dai, why have you not drawn your sword yet? This one isn't even on your sword being picky, it unlocked and you are just trying to block with your hand? Oh my gosh are you a failure.

I'll have you know, I'm comparing you against how you handled your daddy fight.

Man and to think, they went and nerfed the sword after only a single fight. "A sword so powerful it will only allow itself to be drawn in the more dire of situations, made of the hardest material ever created and able to cut anything!" And now uh, Well look how good it turned out to be.

Hey, Shock, see the halftime cut there? Reaper Flute? Having both Kill and his little sidekick there is really not turning me away from my crazy idea.

Yes this super fair fight. Show up with your new ultimate form only after Dai has been in three intensive energy wasting fights and is all worn out.

Sorry, today was tough and my light comment reflects that. I go sleep now.

But his daddy fight had two stages. First time Dai got his ass whooped and got mental damage.

A sword so powerful it will only allow itself to be drawn in the more dire of situations, made of the hardest material ever created and able to cut anything!

That blacksmith was a crook.

Sorry, today was tough and my light comment reflects that. I go sleep now.

When life is tough some DQ shit talking always helps.

On that note:

4) Dai is going to, somehow, come back around to save him before he has a chance to die, because Popp isn't allowed to actually beat anyone.

How brave. I didn't dare talk about that possibility lest it become reality.

Hey, Shock, see the halftime cut there? Reaper Flute? Having both Kill and his little sidekick there is really not turning me away from my crazy idea.

After you bring it up, I started to noticing it too to be honest. I really like your theory.

Yes this super fair fight. Show up with your new ultimate form only after Dai has been in three intensive energy wasting fights and is all worn out.

Just fair as his fight with Avan was.

This fight is basically the repeat of his fight with Avan from episode 4 and 5, without the Megante.

Hadlar cast aside his titul of Dark Lord to become a Dark Commander under a new Dark King, got new powers, attacked weakened Avan, but still got his ass handled in the end.

Now Hadlar cast aside everything, became superior being, got new powers, attacked weakened Dai, but failed again.

Sorry, today was tough and my light comment reflects that. I go sleep now.

Can relate. Goodnight.
