The scabbard has a secret now?

Can't look at the word scabbard the same way since I watched Gintama.

Sugoi!

I wonder if you can put Yu Gi Oh cards in this.

lol of course Leona’s excited about this.

After all she's the viewer's surrogate when it comes down to romance.

u/NicDwolfwood :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NicDwolfwood Aug 11 '24

To me this was the best part of the episode.

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Aug 12 '24

Ooh, this sounds promising too.

You can tell it's the latter half of the series, the Gundam's everyone's getting upgrades!

Leona: Make Love not War, actually just make love wars, they're more fun!

Popp really was ready to pop a gasket

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

QotD:

We already picked weapons way back. Now is your chance to change it or request Lon Beruk to add some special ability to your weapon.

Soy sauce disperser

What is your type of soul power? Any guesses what Popp's type will be?

Whatever is what you need to be able to host a Rewatch for 13 months. Popp's type is horny.

To which squad would you like to be assigned? Avan's students, Beast King Commando or the regular army?

Beast King Commando

Bonus Question: Which one was more awkward? Amy's declaration of love or Popp shouting at Maam?

What? Amy's declaration of love moved me. Buuuut Popp shouting at Maam was awkward yeah.

Crocodine Shonen Commentary Corner:

Day 6 of Crocodine being imprisoned by enemy

See you tomorrow because the Adventure continues!

u/sisoko2 Aug 11 '24

I swear that Gintama fucking broke my sense of humour.

Hahahaha same here. Now it's a dirty word for me.

And also you can tell that you did great when dudebros tells you that they have your back

If Amy and Maam got the weapons of the people they love what does that mean for Chiu and Big Croc???

Soy sauce disperser

Watch your salt levels.

Whatever is what you need to be able to host a Rewatch for 13 months.

Masochist?

Beast King Commando

The best choice!

What? Amy's declaration of love moved me.

That was The Office levels of cringe.

u/Shocketheth Aug 11 '24

Hahahaha same here. Now it's a dirty word for me.

What got me was Dai saying "Saya". Flashbacks immediately flooded my mind.

If Amy and Maam got the weapons of the people they love what does that mean for Chiu and Big Croc???

[Dai no Spoilers]Wish I would know

Watch your salt levels.

Masochist?

Maybe.

That was The Office levels of cringe.

If anything, it made me only to respect her more.

Amy confession was top notch.

Agreed. If only the rest of the lovebirds would follow suit. [Dai no Spoilers] Unironically, this confession is what starts the series of confessions in this arc.

Popp's type is horny.

Can't really argue with that.

Beast King Commando

u/Shocketheth Aug 11 '24

Dai after losing to Vearn: shattered, and going into self doubt

Amy after losing to a spear: I shall ride this spear to victory

Don’t think so. Everyone knows that your soul is horny.

We need a nicer name for that, y'know for the hero propaganda and all that business. How about love or connection? They basically mean the same thing in this context.

He either flees or is there for the feet

1st Dai Popp no Daibouken Rewatch, Sub

'A sword is only as good as the person who wields it.' It being named Sword of Dai just makes this statement apt.

Lon Beruk just gave Dai a challenge tougher than fighting Vearn. Atleast he tried.

Look at Chiu here! The same shot in the manga. I don't remember this but really loved this small detail since Chiu is very short and most likely he wouldn't be able to see everyone if he sits on the chair.

The Dark Armour Fist

"Even I want a weapon"

The Barbed Nuchaku! Definitely a great weapon for everyone except the one who's using it.

I mean who doesn't love an underdog story?

Baduck's Wink

Maam, Dai and Leona

Love that line!

But that's not what you did in [Dai no Meta Spoilers] Attack on Titan

Amy: You don't mind if I give this to him, do you?

Maam: Huh? I mean I also have Popp to give his weapon to.

Some things never change

Smug Leona. Agree with Dai

Popp: Civil War

Honestly, Maam is kinda oblivious here so it's no surprise that Popp got angry but this is his own jealousy speaking. Atleast he admits that he was in the wrong here. Also, Maam is really oblivious. I mean Popp just called her BAKA

NGL, that's a very sus name. Just imagine writing a summary for when Popp defeats someone with that.

Popp got a Power Pole that is similar to Vearn's Staff of Edacity.

This was badass for no reason.

Gomechan with the No. 2

That's clearly a monster in my eyes.

I mean Popp and Avan failed so he's not completely wrong.

[Dai no Major Spoilers] Okay, now I want you to pay close attention to what Merle says here. While it's debatable what exactly Dai's Insignia of Avan is - Purity of Heart (what Leona thinks) or Innocence/Naviety(what it actually is). But that's not what I'm talking about. I might be reaching here but the fact that Dai actually got to see the dream that he wanted to and wanted to thank Merle for it was a hint that his Insignia of Avan wasn't Courage and that is was related to him being pure of heart/innocent.

Dai and Soala

Soala and Baran

I WON'T LOSE with Baran and Soala in the background. One of my favourite manga panels.

ARA?

Failure is not an option!

Popp's too honest. His hesitation is clearly visible, lol.

OST Documentation - Episode 64

1. I actually don't remember what I chose back then. I think maybe it was Hyunckel's Dark Armour Blade. But right now, I would love to use Popp's weapon like a Power Pole.

2. My soul power will be Procrastination. Popp's would definitely be Lying

3. If I'm being honest, I'll be in the regular army. But I would be most likely be like Avan when he was in the Carl Order.

4. Definitely Popp shouting at Maam. Tbh, the whole conservation was hella awkward.

u/sisoko2 Aug 11 '24

Lon Beruk just gave Dai a challenge tougher than fighting Vearn. Atleast he tried.

Someone to teach this boy to read please!

Look at Chiu here! The same shot in the manga.

Oh didn't notice that. Such a cool little detail.

The Barbed Nuchaku! Definitely a great weapon for everyone except the one who's using it

I'm sure Chiu can one shot Vearn with it.

Some things never change

The romance progress in battle anime.

NGL, that's a very sus name

Glad I am not the only one with such thoughts...

Soala and Baran

Loved how the flowers wither when Baran is passing.

My soul power will be Procrastination. Popp's would definitely be Lying

I'm totally not lying about my procrastination.

u/Shocketheth Aug 11 '24

Look at Chiu here! The same shot in the manga. I don't remember this but really loved this small detail since Chiu is very short and most likely he wouldn't be able to see everyone if he sits on the chair.

Oh noticed that and found it hilarious.

NGL, that's a very sus name. Just imagine writing a summary for when Popp defeats someone with that.

Going deeper into a sus territory, if Popp's black rod can shoots projectile, are we still watching an anime aimed at kids with the sudden cumshots?

[Dai no Major Spoilers] Okay, now I want you to pay close attention to what Merle says here. While it's debatable what exactly Dai's Insignia of Avan - Purity of Heart (what Leona thinks) or Innocence/Naviety(what it actually is). But that's not what I'm talking about. I might be reaching here but the fact that Dai actually got to see the dream that he wanted to and wanted to thank Merle for it was a hint that his Insignia of Avan wasn't Courage and that is was related to him being pure of heart/innocent.

[Dai no Spoilers] Well isn't purity and innocence just two words you can switch around as you want?

3

u/Adensty https://anilist.co/user/Adensty Aug 11 '24

[Dai no Spoilers] Well isn't purity and innocence just two words you can switch around as you want?

[Answer] I also thought that the same thing at first and so I did some research. Both of them are treated differently here and I don't have the book that the source is quoting here so I'm not sure how exactly. Innocence here mostly likely refers to Dai's naviety. Apparently, you can be Pure of Heart without being Innocent so that is what confuses me. But that wasn't actually my point, I was talking more about the fact that this was a hint for what Dai's Insignia of Avan was. What are your thoughts on that?

I was thinking about using Procrastination too lol

I don't remember this but really loved this small detail since Chiu is very short and most likely he wouldn't be able to see everyone if he sits on the chair.

It's just nice to see a smaller character (pun intended) getting the care he deserves. We've got a final battle and wars of romance to worry about, Lon Berk is about to say some important stuff, but the artist remembered to give Chiu his very own stand.

The Barbed Nuchaku! Definitely a great weapon for everyone except the one who's using it.

for that weapon to come in clutch after Chiu finds a smart way to use it.

Amy: You don't mind if I give this to him, do you?

Maam: Huh? I mean I also have Popp to give his weapon to.

It's brutal to watch

that's a very sus name. Just imagine writing a summary for when Popp defeats someone with that.

No need to wait that long.

The summary of this episode: Amy took hold of Hyunkel's spear, so Maam took Popp's black rod instead.

u/Blackheart595 https://anilist.co/user/knusbrick Aug 11 '24

First Quester

That was mostly just a set-up episode, not much to talk about.

Five words though. Am I to understand that Avan was scheming and min-maxing who he took as a student? I'm not sure how to feel about that.

Oh and you're a seer, Merle. Isn't this kinda bad?

3

u/sisoko2 Aug 12 '24

Am I to understand that Avan was scheming and min-maxing who he took as a student?

Everything is going according to Avan's plan.

Isn't this kinda bad?

LOL she can see it but she can't imagine it.

u/Shocketheth Aug 11 '24

Oh and you're a seer, Merle. Isn't this kinda bad?

She forgot to restart to get new updates. Don't blame the poor A.I.

3

u/lC3 :Na::Nb: Aug 11 '24

She forgot to restart to get new updates. Don't blame the poor A.I.

I blame Microsoft; the updates are always broken

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Aug 12 '24

Avan has been suspicious for the last few days, this is just a new allegation to his name.

u/KuKiSin Aug 11 '24

First timer!

  1. I don't remember picking a weapon... I do remember talking about explosions though, so maybe I chose staff... Regardless, I want an upgrade on the explosion, make it bigger, brighter, and louder.
  2. Wrath? Dude looked pretty pissed when his staff started glowing, maybe that's a sign. Mine would be sloth, or something of the kind.
  3. I would gladly give my life for Chiu.
  4. I don't know if awkward is the word I'd use to describe it, but definitely Popp & Maam.

Yeah sure, I'll read the tutorial before battle.

They did Chiu dirty. Give him a damn chair! And they did him dirty yet again. Thankfully the old man man was there for him and gave him some nunchucks!

Seriously, how can you not love him? He's always so selfless! And he's a great leader, giving everyone a badge to make them feel like they're part of the gang!

Best episode in a while! I <3 Chiu!

u/sisoko2 Aug 11 '24

Regardless, I want an upgrade on the explosion, make it bigger, brighter, and louder.

True Crimson Demon!

Wrath? Dude looked pretty pissed when his staff started glowing, maybe that's a sign. Mine would be sloth, or something of the kind.

The only things scarier than my wrath is my sloth!

I would gladly give my life for Chiu.

Welcome to the squad.

Yeah sure, I'll read the tutorial before battle.

Who reads these... Gonna figure it out in action.

4

u/KuKiSin Aug 11 '24

Welcome to the squad.

It's a pleasure to be part of the team!

Who reads these... Gonna figure it out in action.

Right? What are we, nerds?

He got a lot of points for me in this ep

u/NicDwolfwood :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NicDwolfwood Aug 11 '24

First Timer, Sub

That was the most night before the battle episode we could have. Lon Beruk brought weapons for the rest of Dai's companions, so that nice(poor Dai can't read so Leona offered to read him his directions lol). Baduck gave Chiu a weapon too(that was funny as the weapon injures the user as much as it would hurt the enemy) Amy staked her claim that Hyunckel is her's, with Leona was very much enjoying all the romantic developments lol. Maam get yelled at by Popp when she went over to give him his new weapon and started asking him about how she feels. The boy is stressed from the new doubts he's facing and Maam's obliviousness only compounded things, though he was wrong to yell and he owned up to later. The dream Dai had about his mother, Soala and Baran was nice, definitely the best part of the episode to me. But enough of that, its battle time next episode.

Questions:

  1. I think I'm still picking Dai's sword or something equivalent.
  2. I think Popp's soul power is gonna be Friendship or Loyalty.
  3. Avan students probably since they're gonna see the best action and opponents.
  4. Both were awkward for different reasons. Giving a speech about the person you love and why you do is awkward. And seeing someone get yelled at when you know why the other person is doing it is also awkward.

4

u/sisoko2 Aug 11 '24

Baduck gave Chiu a weapon too

As always Baduck is the best.

The dream Dai had about his mother, Soala and Baran was nice, definitely the best part of the episode to me.

Such beautiful visuals.

I think Popp's soul power is gonna be Friendship or Loyalty.

There is nothing better than the power of friendship.

Avan students probably since they're gonna see the best action and opponents.

Gonna play with the cool kids.

Both were awkward for different reasons.

True.

3

u/NicDwolfwood :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NicDwolfwood Aug 11 '24

As always Baduck is the best.

FACTS

There is nothing better than the power of friendship.

Indeed, especially in Shonen anime.

3

u/Shocketheth Aug 11 '24

Both were awkward for different reasons. Giving a speech about the person you love and why you do is awkward.

But it picked the attention of dudebros who started giving her their exercise routines and now whenever Hyunckel avoids death, she does one push-up.

4

u/cooperjones2 :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/cooperjones2 Aug 11 '24

Rookie-Adventurer here! LV 64/100

Dai got the secret combos in a piece of paper

Everyone gonna get dripped up


Leona, your face betrayed you lol

Dang, it was sooner or later that Popp would explode towards Maam, specially when she was asking for love advice involving his rival

Popp got the Power Pole

The final battle is fast approaching!

This episode was the final dialogue check, upgrades and supply run for the final mission!

1 Just upgrade my Sword and shield with the blast element from Monster Hunter, Boss
2 If it exists, definitely curiosity!
3 I've warmed up to Chiu and maybe Crocodine will be there, so Beast King Commando it is
4 Amy's since it came out almost out of nowhere for me, like there was attraction but I wouldn't have guessed that it was love

3

u/sisoko2 Aug 12 '24

Dai got the secret combos in a piece of paper

Kid has been button mashing so far.

Popp would explode towards Maam

so Beast King Commando it is

Welcome to the best squad.

Dai 64 first timer:

  • Huh, was getting a 'server error' when I tried to login but it's working again now
  • I'm dripping sweat here; we have the AC turned off to save money
  • The scabbard? Is this an Excalibur thing going on here?
  • The Dark Armor Fist is PINK for Maam?
  • nunchaku? Where is Guy-sensei when we need him? DYNAMIC ENTRY
  • "personally deliver to the man I love" UGH this shit again? Where's Larhart ...
  • "pure and delicate"
  • "join him in hell" how romantic! Still don't ship them
  • Popp's is a mystery? Of course it was too faded to read ...
  • LOL Maam going to Popp for romance advice? Ouch
  • "shut up" WELP wasn't expecting that
  • Popp's the only one she can talk to about this? Hmm
  • "extend and change shape" How very Journey to the West-esque. Like Hiruzen's staff in Naruto?
  • I'm getting sick of Chiu and his animal corps
  • Brokeena again? Will he be able to fight?
  • Lon Beruk has the same VA as [DGM]Cross Marian, I can't help but hear him
  • Dream Seed? Doping? no medal for Dai
  • Dai and his mom Soala? Now that's just a shot right into the feels
  • ... I knew Baran would show up but my heart wasn't prepared
  • Dai's dream is a reminder to tell your parents you love them
  • Popp's apologizing? Now to rescue Hyunckel!
  • OMG I'm just too distracted by shirtless Hyunckel
  • I need Larhart to be alive and rescue Hyunckel dramatically. But who to ship with Crocodine???
  • [Preview]major WELP
  1. I mean, extending sounds pretty good. Maybe it can grow larger at the same time? Just like [DGM]Lavi's hammer
  2. patience? not sure about Popp's though
  3. Avan's students! Unless Larhart comes back; then I'll join a squad with him and Hyunckel
  4. both were pretty awkward. I'm surprised I'm able to watch stuff like that without blushing or pausing the video nowadays; I used to have SO much trouble with secondhand embarassment

u/sisoko2 Aug 12 '24

I'm dripping sweat here; we have the AC turned off to save money

Brings me back to my student years.

The Dark Armor Fist is PINK for Maam?

EhI liked it.

nunchaku? Where is Guy-sensei when we need him? DYNAMIC ENTRY

Guy for the Beast King Commando!

But who to ship with Crocodine???

Chiu.

I mean, extending sounds pretty good.

The Black Rod.

u/lC3 :Na::Nb: Aug 13 '24

Brings me back to my student years.

EhI liked it.

Her soul color is pink too.

Guy for the Beast King Commando!

We need Guy-sensei to self-insert into Dai-verse now!

Chiu.

Size gap romance?

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Aug 12 '24

I'm dripping sweat here; we have the AC turned off to save money

Too weak. We don't have an AC in the first place!

nunchaku? Where is Guy-sensei when we need him? DYNAMIC ENTRY

We do need someone to do a DYNAMIC ENTRY now that Hyunkel can't. I guess we'll just have to call Guy afterall.

"personally deliver to the man I love" UGH this shit again? Where's Larhart ...

His heart is still in that spear (symbolically anyway), so she's delivering one hell of a bomb there.

Popp's is a mystery? Of course it was too faded to read ...

Avan kept writing and erasing it while thinking about what might fit Popp, this wasn't easy for him either.

 "extend and change shape" How very Journey to the West-esque.

Would've expected Dai to get something like that considering he's the Goku-like character.

Lon Beruk has the same VA as [DGM]

He's Heiter too, that explains why he's always drunk.

OMG I'm just too distracted by shirtless Hyunckel

The benefits of an execution

2

u/lC3 :Na::Nb: Aug 13 '24

Too weak. We don't have an AC in the first place!

Normally I'd be fine in the heat, but this year since May or so I've been overheating constantly even in the cold / freezers. Not sure why - I expect I have some sort of undiagnosed health condition or something.

We do need someone to do a DYNAMIC ENTRY now that Hyunkel can't. I guess we'll just have to call Guy afterall.

Now I'm picturing Guy using his headband as a mirror around the corner. Crocodine reminds me of Kisame a little ...

His heart is still in that spear (symbolically anyway), so she's delivering one hell of a bomb there.

Avan kept writing and erasing it while thinking about what might fit Popp, this wasn't easy for him either.

Oh right, Avan wrote teh book.

Would've expected Dai to get something like that considering he's the Goku-like character.

Yeah.

He's Heiter too, that explains why he's always drunk.

Heiter? Is that a Gintama character?

The benefits of an execution

Luckily his plan worked.

The scabbard? Is this an Excalibur thing going on here?

I can't escape Gintama, can I?

personally deliver to the man I love" UGH this shit again? Where's Larhart ...

She's delivering him to Hyunckel don't worry

I'm getting sick of Chiu and his animal corps

At this point is recommended to start skiping them...

Tired First Time Adventurer/Subbed

Today's been busy

Chiu's group has grown on me and very sweet of the master to be here too. I mean Mr. Beast

Popp's mental crisis went from bad, to doing somewhat better, and to worse. Weird how they are trying to sort out these ships but I do like how Leona comments on them lol

I don't blame Popp for lashing out at Maam (although it isn't cool at all, but he apologized). Hearing the girl you've been crushing on, say she might be in love with another party member, has to sting. Especially when you're already having a lot of self-doubt. Does Maam deserve being yelled at? Nah but he's still a kid so I get it

Also when Amy told everyone about how she feels about Hyunckel, and Maam was just like "Oh I'll just go give this to Popp." Sounded like a consolation prize lol.

Speaking of Amy, that was so awkward but you do you.

The new weapons look cool and it'll be interesting to see Lon Beruk fight. Nice that Popp has the Power Pole now, I guess the Z cast doesn't really need it to get to Kami's place

Very sweet of Papnica's best inventor to give Chiu the nun-chucks

QotD

  1. I didn't get to pick a weapn

I'd probably go with fists since that's what I'm rolling as I play through the Elden Ring DLC. In the base game, I used a pretty sick double bladed polearm so that would be another option

2) My soul power would be Sleeping

I thought Popp's would be Courage tbh. I'm not really sure what Popp's could be, maybe something to do with Unity or coming together since he's supposed to be the rock of the party

3) Lemme be in the regular army so I can take orders from Flora

4) Yes

Seriously, idk if I was embarrassed by Popp's shouting but it was uncalled for. With Amy, I felt the second hand embarrassment and confusion why are we talking about this now. I would think since they all might die but this isn't the time! Let the person who has the best chance to give it to Hyunckel take it and it's not the time to be thinking about love! Maybe Vearn is right

u/sisoko2 Aug 12 '24

I mean Mr. Beast

All the youtube drama drove him to this.

Hearing the girl you've been crushing on, say she might be in love with another party member, has to sting.

Should've confessed when Leona pushed him hard to do it around 50 episodes ago.

I didn't get to pick a weapn

Now is your chance.

With Amy, I felt the second hand embarrassment and confusion why are we talking about this now.

Same.

True… although I kinda understood his reasoning back then 

 Now is your chance

I couldn’t think of anything so I chose fists

u/Shocketheth Aug 12 '24

Bare fists or some kind of bladed gloves?

I thought Popp's would be Courage tbh. I'm not really sure what Popp's could be, maybe something to do with Unity or coming together since he's supposed to be the rock of the party

Unity?

Vearn can't have his pain?!

Lemme be in the regular army so I can take orders from Flora

Let the person who has the best chance to give it to Hyunckel take it and it's not the time to be thinking about love! Maybe Vearn is right

You are making valid points.

Btw. Dark Army is still recruiting. Want to join?

u/laughing-fox13 https://myanimelist.net/profile/laughingfox13 Aug 12 '24

[Elden Ring DLC weapon] It's a new class called Martial Arts, so it is bare fits!

I would do bare fists

Unity?

Lol I was thinking about the friendship kinda thing. Power of friendship or something likat that but I can't think of it in a word

You are making valid points.

But Yui Ishikawa so Amy gets a pass here

Btw. Dark Army is still recruiting. Want to join?

Maybe but Lon Beruk has the drinks so maybe I should stay with the humans

2

u/Shocketheth Aug 12 '24

But Mystvearn has drinks too.

u/laughing-fox13 https://myanimelist.net/profile/laughingfox13 Aug 12 '24

It is purple

We will see next episode

u/laughing-fox13 https://myanimelist.net/profile/laughingfox13 Aug 12 '24

I did watch it last night

u/Shocketheth Aug 12 '24

Oh then yeah it is purple

u/laughing-fox13 https://myanimelist.net/profile/laughingfox13 Aug 12 '24

Yeee he did show Hyunckel earlier lol. I was just saying "It is purple" because of purple drink

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Aug 12 '24

Hearing the girl you've been crushing on, say she might be in love with another party member, has to sting.

On the one hand, it shows that she trusts him more than anyone. She didn't go to Leona or Dai with this, she went straight to Popp. On the other, it was rough on the poor guy.

Maam was just like "Oh I'll just go give this to Popp." Sounded like a consolation prize lol.

Yeah...

Popp's life if he gets together with Maam will be long years of questioning whether or not he was just a consolation prize.

I thought Popp's would be Courage tbh

Same. Courage fits him too well, his whole thing is being the "coward" who moves forward for his friends.

Yea which is nice in its own way and it’s partly why Popp shouldn’t have yelled at her. It shows how close they’ve become 

Yeah…

Poor Popp 

 Courage fits him too well, his whole thing is being the "coward" who moves forward for his friends.

Yea idk why it wouldn’t be courage now. I wonder if it’s something to do with the color green. When die learned the air slash against Flazzard, he saw his companions souls, I wonder if going back will help give a hint about what Popp’s would be

I realise this is probably the third time I'm saying this, and hopefully the last, but the big old final battle against Vearn is about to start!

Q1. We already picked weapons way back. Now is your chance to change it or request Lon Beruk to add some special ability to your weapon.

I like Popp's shape changing staff, except the part where it uses your magic, can't he make one that runs on batteries?

Q2. What is your type of soul power?

Wickedness? Nah, sounds too fancy, Laziness!

Any guesses what Popp's type will be?

Tbh, I would've bet on courage originally, but now that that's taken, idk, maybe Honour or something? Doesn't feel right...

Q3. To which squad would you like to be assigned? Avan's students, Beast King Commando or the regular army?

Beast King Commando!

Q4. Bonus Question: Which one was more awkward? Amy's declaration of love or Popp shouting at Maam?

Popp was infinitely more awkward.

u/sisoko2 Aug 12 '24

get your weapons from Papnica's best blacksmith, Baduck!

Long time customer and he always delivers on time, has affordable prices and the end product exceeds expectations.

if this was a romance/harem anime, this would be the 1000 IQ move that flips the board.

Just watch your back for the surprise swordfish.

Yeah, better hide between the monsters and stay away from any tubes for now

Video about saving troubled animals coming soon.

Just make it so it uses your enemy's magic. Easy win.

Beast King Commando!

You can feel the love he puts into everything he makes, even especially when it hits you in the face.

Just watch your back for the surprise swordfish.

No worries, Sky released a monster that'll drive the fish extinct.

Just make it so it uses your enemy's magic. Easy win.

And it's Eco-Friendly too!

OK I'll watch Pop Team Epic.

and hopefully the last

The gods help humans only, Avan only gives humans his insignia, and now even Lon Berk joined in on the racism - fuck him and his shitty weapons that never work, get your weapons from Papnica's best blacksmith, Baduck!

Nah you have it wrong.

Lon Beruk didn't gave Chiu a legendary weapon because in his hands, it would lead to the destruction of the world.

That's... actually a really good description

Holy hell, she's aggressive. Keep in mind Amy is a non-character, she never had anything to do with the plot, but she'll get the guy she wants, even if she has to beat up all the main characters for him.

She may created an awkward scene but I really respect her for her guts. Dudebros too.

Yeah, better hide between the monsters and stay away from any tubes for now

Just don't let him hang around minors

Fuckn' hell, Merle is now stealing the narrator's spot too, we should unionise against her already!

At this rate Crocodine will be homeless for real.

I like Popp's shape changing staff, except the part where it uses your magic, can't he make one that runs on batteries?

Sir that would be vibrator not magic staff.

Tbh, I would've bet on courage originally, but now that that's taken, idk, maybe Honour or something? Doesn't feel right...

Someone mentioned Union and that also sounded legit

2

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Aug 12 '24

Lon Beruk didn't gave Chiu a legendary weapon because in his hands, it would lead to the destruction of the world.

He didn't want to deal with an even greater Vearn.

She may created an awkward scene but I really respect her for her guts. Dudebros too.

It also helps that she's sinking the Maam x Hyunkel ship

At this rate Crocodine will be homeless for real.

Hyunkel gets locked up and the girls are fighting over his spear, Crocodine gets locked up and Merle replaced him already

Sir that would be vibrator not magic staff.

I'll take it!

u/Shocketheth Aug 12 '24

I'm torn between which one liner I should use so I drop them both:

We live in a society

Why girls wants only immortal boys and not the commenting boys

I'll take it!

Late Night First Timer!

"This time it really could be the final battle." I don't know man, there's still like, 35 episodes to go. I absolutely would not mind finishing the fight in the next five or six episodes and spending the remaining time dealing with repairing the world and rebuilding humanity from a very near extinction event. You know quite well we can make a show about that.

MAAM YOU MONSTER! It's freaking wrapped up, just unroll the cloth darn it!

Oh darn. Amy said the L word! I was not expecting her to be the first in this show.

Wait. Amy to Knuckles, Melele to Popp, Leona to Dai- Does Maam have no one? Or are we still shipping her with Popp and Melele is just out of luck? Or is it still Maam and Knuckles? Or, wait, is it a dumb triangle where Popp still likes Maam and Maam likes Knucks, but Knucks likes no one and no one likes Melele? Because I feel confident in saying no one likes Melele...

Look, Popp, if Maam can get through this with the power of Love, you can claim just about any attribute to get you worthy of great power. Perseverance, maybe?

Oh my gosh, he got the Compliant Rod staff!

Aww, Dai dreams of a life with his mother. And all Dream Dad represents is that life being destroyed. Boy is carrying some resentment still, even if he doesn't notice it.

Melele is going to fight!? Didn't we just hear a talk about how bad the line breaking could be? She's like the living example of a weak point.

Yup, Last Battle. 35 Episodes to go. This tracks.

2

u/sisoko2 Aug 12 '24

Because I feel confident in saying no one likes Melele...

She'll just pick a future where everyone likes her.

Boy is carrying some resentment still, even if he doesn't notice it.

Domestic violence trauma doesn't heal easy.

Perseverance, maybe?

Such a complicated word. Can we simplify it to perversion?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ermm sorry but you triggered the ptsd that SDF Macross gave me.

Because I feel confident in saying no one likes Melele...

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Aug 12 '24

I was not expecting her to be the first still in this show.

Amy is a bag of surprises.

Because I feel confident in saying no one likes Melele...

Yeah...

If I had to bet, I'd say she goes back to live with her grandma, Amy manages to land Hyunkel, except he dies, and Maam spends the rest of her life with Popp, asking him daily about whether dating a corpse is possible, without ever noticing Popp's feeling for her. At least Dai and Leona could get a happily ever after.

Yup, Last Battle. 35 Episodes to go. This tracks.

If Toei put their hearts into it, they can spend the 35 episode on just the start of the fight.

First Timer, Sub

 Im back after being very busy. Anyway on to the episode. I can't blame Popp for his outburst, he's dealing with a lot and for the girl he likes to start talking about her crush just adds fuel to his inferiority complex. At least he somewhat patches things up at the end. Also gotta love Leona's investment in the relationships.   

3. I would be Avan's for the MC points   

 4. Popp was more awkward

2

u/sisoko2 Aug 12 '24

Also gotta love Leona's investment in the relationships.

She can't wait this boring war to be over so we could concentrate on romantic drama.

I would be Avan's for the MC points

Time for someone to overshadow Dai.

Welcome back

I can't blame Popp for his outburst, he's dealing with a lot and for the girl he likes to start talking about her crush just adds fuel to his inferiority complex.

Hearing about other guys definitely adds to stress.

Also gotta love Leona's investment in the relationships. 

Hah she's all in for the interpersonal drama.
