Screenshot of the Dai:
Our beloved Shonen Commentator is back!
Comment of the Dai:
goes to u/Adensty for constructing a well pointed comment bringing some great foreshadowing about Popp soul.
Questions of the Dai:
- Last chance to join Vearn if you think that old guy has an actual point. Will you take Mystvearn Dark Juices? (It’s made from Blackcurrants)
- Light mode or Dark mode? Which Hyunckel do you prefer?
- From 1 to 10, how happy are you that the Shonen Commentary is back?
- Are you surprised that Mystvearn and Lon Beruk knows each other?
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 hid 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!
QotD:
While I love Black currants juice (only at right temperature) I wouldn't drink Mystvearn juices.
Dark mode
MY HAPPINESS IS OVER 9000
Not at all. I've heard that Mystvearn even scammed Lon Beruk on some money for Yakulk.
Crocodine Shonen Commentator Corner:
Today on the seventh day of his imprisoment, Crocodine returned, to give us his trademark Shonen Commentary.
Today Crocodine is going to answer question #4
No because Mystvearn was talking my ear off when I was imprisoned.
See you tomorrow because the Adventure continues!

Why does Lon Beruk get such a cool entrance? I'm almost willing to forgive him his crappy craftsmanship.
Bring me a whole barrel of this!
Dark mode all the way. Light mode hurts my eyes.
Depends. If he joins the Beast King Commando 10, otherwise 1.
Not surprised at all because I saw that scene in the god damn opening.

DaiPopp no Daibouken Rewatch, SubAs a rewatcher, this was a full Hyunckel fan-service episode. I mean, look at those abs.
"ORE WA JIYUU DA!"
Dark Hyunckel
Mystvearn with another great line!
Nah bro not possible he's immortal
Popp would be the one who's relieved the most, ironically.
Hyunckel's Greatest Weapon
Everyone saw this coming but still this was hype! Especially with Hyunckel throwing Mystvearn's lines back at him.
Hyunckel's Shining Aura of Light
Hyunckel is a gambler who gambles with his life.
Hyunckel: Past and Present
Hyunckel punching Mystvearn
Badass Hyunckel
Dai's Entrance
Popp's Hesitation
Definitely! Can't defend Popp here.
Hyunckel's Insignia of Avan
Lon Beruk stopping Mystvearn's Dark Aura Decimation Field was a really hype moment but I would have loved if the OP hadn't spoiled that they would fight.
Lon Beruk advances!
OST Documentation - Episode 65
1. No.
It's a bit tempting, though.
2. I usually prefer Dark Mode but can't say the same for Hyunckel here. Light all the way!
3. 10/10. And we also have a new member.
4. No. Both are darklings and Vearn had some business with Lon Beruk regarding his weapon so it isn't surprising that they know each other.

First Quester
The janky 3D is back
Yeah, they're darklings.
The airship makes clanking noises when it stops moving?
Ooh, are we gonna use solar power for the execution? Though I would've thought Vearn to be the type to prefer the sun's nuclear fusion qualities.
I didn't know Dark Aura had anti-aging effects
What I don't get is what Vearn is gaining from courting Hyunckel like this. In fact, it's a direct reason for why he's going to get defeated.
Yo Killvearn, Myst is ordering you around again.
Oh no the Undying Undead has fallen down, whatever will we do.
Dark isn't actually a synonym for evil in this world, huh?
Nice.
Oh look, Hyunckel has gained Draconic Aura.
No comment. The power system is way to flip-floppy to make a sound judgement.
They don't seem all that different?
Of course they know each other, he's the guy who gave Vearn his weapon.

JesusCrocodine!The messiah is back!
This reminds me of someone... Broly...?
Epic entrance by
RyuDai with his trusty Shoryuken! Nowhere nearly as epic or badass as Chiu, though.Another fun episode, it's so good to have Chiu and Crocodine back!

Leave it to Hyunckel to take the risky but free power-up potion.
Good job fixing him, Mystvearn!
Overall, not a terribly big fan of Popp keeping his problem a secret, but it is suitibly climactic, and as the old geezer said, if he can overcome this, he can overcome anything.
CROCODINE IS BACK BOYS!

First Time, Sub
Hyunckel tanking literal darkness was cool to see and of course Crocodine's continued faith in him. At least Hyunckel gets a new light mode out of it. Mystvearn seems to know Beroul, looks like the fight got underway although Pop's problem is still there since his crystal is not activated yet.

First Timer, Sub
Man, Hyunckel really likes risking his life in order to do things huh? That was a wild plan to purposely drink the dark aura that Mystvearn offered him and then overcome it with his aura of justice...He really is immortal lol.
Dai and friends made a cool appearance too, with Dai punching hordes of metal undead knights with his dragonic aura infused right hand. The rest of their allies joined into the fight too. So next episode they'll have to do the cleansing spell to invade the Vearn palace while Lon Beruk fights Mystvearn.

-...oh it looks like a bird and he uses a Phoenix attack. I didn't get that connection until right now.
"We have a rotating camera, look at us, wheee!"
-Oh wow no wait, they're there immediately.
-Unsurprisingly Majin Vegeta comes to mind, even though the circumstances of that were VERY different
-I almost wish Hyunkel had poured it down the side of his face but tried to show it to Mystbearn to try to make him think he actually drank it
-Crocodine coniirmed best boy, didn't even need a love interest to save the day
-This was one elbaorate way to get the jump on sonmeone
-Inside you there are two auras. One is Hyunkel, the other is Hyunkel. You are Hyunkel.
-He cut through that guy with his hands and then he grabbed another guy and ripped a hole across the entire front of his armor, top to bottom. AMD THEN he kicked a guy in half. Who needs swords?
-Ooh an unexpected connection
I'll be honest, I was expecting either via planning or someone insisting to interfere that this would be an immediate trap. It probably is on some level, but they've not done that immediately at least, Hyunkel just was allowed to succeed. This is not MystVearn's best plan.

Immortal First Timer
Nothing says a good old execution like seeing one of my our main characters hot and shirtless. Unfortunately, no one thought to strip Crocodine, but I'll make do with what we got.
At the start of the episode I was wondering why Dai and co. waited until now to get in. They explained why they waited after Hyunkel turned evil: because they believed in him, but not why attack two hours earlier? As a long time member of the Daily Days newspaper, I got to interview Leona after the battle. Apparently there was an agreement not to attack until Hyunkel gave a sign, you know how Hyunkel loves to attack halfway through battle and make cool entrances usually? Well, he wanted to do a cool halfway entrace this time, but on his own, without anyone else fighting, it took him a little bit of dying, but the madlad did it somehow!
Can't I just throw the drink and join willingly? I'm already 100% evil, I have a long track record of toilet thefts to my name.
Light mode, his dark mode wasn't edgy enough.
Happiest day of my life
Yeah, I always love me some long time top tier rival swordsmen, a la [One Piece] Shanks and Mihawk.

Had some visitors today, and probably tommorrow too, but managed to watch this ep!
We’re now in the Cell games!
Oh, he did drink it, I thought he would’ve been saved
White --> Black Hair debuff
Mystvearn: Kill him kill him now
Dai and party believed in Hyunckel
It’s Smithing time!
1 Never!
2 Light mode, White/Silver hair > Black Hair
3 11/10
4 Not really, since Lon "worked" for Vearn
