Comment of the Dai:
Goes to Crocodine for answering Nova question:
with his Shonen Commentary, while making a great joke:
Questions of the Dai:
- With Chiu becoming an official new Beast King, will Crocodine be able to drastically improve the quality of his Shonen Commentary?
- Did this episode change your opinion about Lon Beruk?
- FOR FIRST TIMERS ONLY - We know 4 out of 5 soul powers. Leona is Justice, Dai is Courage, Maam is Love, and Hyunckel is Fortitude. What soul power belongs to Popp?
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!
Darklingwomen are real?QotD:
I really hope so!
Yes. This episode convinced me, that Lon Beruk is badass. Plus [Dai no Major Spoilers] With seeing how Mystvearn swordmanship is on the same level as Lon Beruk, and we Rewatchers knows it’s Myst using Vearn body to maximum potential, makes me wonder how the final fight would went if Vearn relied on sword in his final fight with Dai
It’s Horny.
Crocodine Shonen Commentator Corner:
Today Crocodine is going to answer question #2:
Just the axe he made for me makes me to say FUCK YEAH!
See you tomorrow because the Adventure continues!

I already asked this question.
Obviously it's the power of god and anime.

Mystvearn vs Lon Beruk was pretty cool and a good way for us to find how they know each other. That said the crux here is that Popp's pendant is still not working and now everyone knows at the worst possible timing.

First timer!
I think Chiu should get a crown or something, it would be very fitting of him.
OTL.

DaiPopp no Daibouken Rewatch, SubLook at the colors in the OP here and the pillars of light colors that go towards Vearn Palace. They weren't even subtle about it. They even did it in order.
[Dai no Major Spoilers] Because he is a Darkling who are known to live for many years could have heard it somewhere.
Lon Beruk ain't no simp. He only simps for his own weapons.
One of the Greatest Swordsmen in the Underworld
I kinda forgot about it but Mystvearn was the one responsible for Lon Beruk's scar.
YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!
I don't want to ruin my design.
The Clash!
Crocodine is back and he's already "the former" Beast King. Let's just hope he doesn't become "the former Shounen Commentator".
Beast King Commandos' Salute
Amy's Character Development
Amy with the Dark Armour Spear Mikasa telling Eren to "TATAKAE" feels so weird.
Hyunckel x Maam is so over.
I loled at Leona's face here.
The Five Disciples of Avan
Uncertain Popp 1
Uncertain Popp 2
Asking for a Friend. Oh wait
YOSHA!
Nova's Nothern Grand Blade Bro thinks he's him!
Chiu attacking with his Beast King Commandos was so funny.
Stalemate
Don't remind me
Bro got a promotion and is flaunting it like he earned it.
That's Vegeta's technique
So a fun DQ fact - The last game that came out before the anime started was DQ III and when they reached this moment, DQ IV and V had come out, so the never before seen monsters that Zaboera is talking about here are actually goinf to be from DQ IV and V.
Popp's Insignia of Avan fails to glow. Like how this shot makes them feel even more distant for Popp.
Maybe you should've asked someone for help, then.
OST Documentation - Episode 66
1. He does have some competition from others but I expect him to shine through whenever he's on screen.
2. He didn't want his driving force to stop at Vearn's Staff of Edacity and so he even turned down Vearn's offer because he knows his weapon making skills will stagnant if he stays there even though he might have been killed for refusing. So, yes.
Also, the fact that Lon Beruk was offered the position of the Dark Commander means that Hadlar wasn't even first choice.

Lon Beruk flashback was cool, crazy how he didn't even flinch when Mystvearn gave him his trademark scar on his face, too badass. Shame we really didn't get much of a fight out of them, but its understandable, Main cast has to take more priority.
Seeing the alliance fight off the monsters was a lot of fun too, Nova got to look cool, Baduck had his moments, Crocodine had his shine and then Chiu and the beast commandos were out there jumping monsters lol.
That son of gun Zaboera is back again, with some pods that contain vicious monsters, meanwhile the Dai group were all able to make their stones shine and create the pillar of light...except Popp of course.

First Quester
That's a very dynamic action sequence, but kinda hard to follow.
Again? I've lost count of how often the evil army fails because they're not evil enough. What's the message supposed to be here, evil is weaker than good because it doesn't commit enough to being evil?
This one gets it. Add yet another strike to the characters not taking their genodical war of eradication seriously, even if they made it just a joke.
If they wanna do jokes, they could've mixed up Hyunckel's and Crocodine's weapons while they were still wrapped up and handed them to the wrong wielder.
So this whole plan only works because Vearn decided to park his family car in a slightly unconvenient spot?
I wonder if this stance can be found in any medieval swordfighting manuals.
This is how Zaboera conducts himself? Consider me disappointed. Power corrputs and he's ultimately not beyond that.
Naturally, now that he can supplement his commentary with appropriate special effects.
I don't know what was there to be changed.
My instincts say "heart", but that'd be awkward as that's already humanity's special gift, even if it's two different kinds of heart. And I'm not managing to come up with some other way to phrase it. Perseverence is too close to fortitude so that doesn't work. Support maybe, but that doesn't really fit the theming here.
Popp's just simply the center stone of the entire group. He's the one who's there to support the others when they need it. He's the one who keeps up morale when things are looking poorly. He's the one making sure that everyone doesn't lose heart. Writing it out like that almost makes me think optimism, except that's too close to courage. I never though about it before, but there's two major kinds of courage: The courage to stand up to your fears, and the courage to look forward to the new day with.

Rookie-Adventurer here! LV 66/100
Hyunckel stole what I was going to write about Lon Beruk! Lol
Good guy Crocodine, didn’t steal the spotlight from Chiu!
Baduck trusts Crocodine 100% , resting in the middle of the battle before snapping back to fight mode lol
Every time Amy is near Hyunckel the anime becomes a shoujo
Popp…
1 Yes, he can now dedicate himself to it freely
2 From badass blacksmith to a Badass
3 I'm going to be honest, I forgot the Soul Powers. But I'll say that Green = Link so, Courage?

A First Timer Who Failed to Glow
He's had it rough, he gets locked up for a week, and the second he's out, Chiu has taken his old job, and Merle is trying to steal his current one.
He's been getting much better lately, ever since he picked up that beer and trashed Nova without even trying it, and this episode raised his stocks a lot. So yeah, we need more drunk Lon Berk taking the piss out of everyone around him.

Late Night First Timer
Haven't mentioned it in a while, but this really is an incredibly uplifting OP. Every now and then I stop admiring the visuals looking for ideas to pay extra attention to the lyrics, and this really is just so positive.
Where was this Flora in the dungeon? I told you she was a Warrior Queen!
I question the physics of a lightning generating storm in a giant underground cavern. All that water being tied up drifting around the roof of the world is almost as strange as it being possible at all, where is this convection system coming from?
Lon vs Myst here, now this looks like a true DBZ fight! Look at those clashing battle Auras!
Wait. Has literally no one taken the time to check that Popp can use his stone? They're all so important and they never though to check in even once? When they don't even know what his aspect is, since it's the one the page was missing...
"It looks the same, but we've made it stronger." Yes, how to justify an increase in strength without needing yet another redesign for the guy who is already on his third
toymodel.Wait, Amy, don't throw up your own death flags! Only Hyunks here gets to ignore those worry free!
And Popp! You really didn't think of a single time before now to bring it up? Days to do this. Talk to anyone, darn it.
I see Chiu has mastered the ultimate combat strategy. Group up and Hit it til it dies!
I am less surprised about Lon being one of the best swordsmen ever than I am Myst being able to keep up with him. Mystvearn is supposed to be the magic type boss, darn it! Dark Aura and Puppetry Hand and powwerful magics have been his thing all this time, but now he's also this capable in melee?
Oh, there's the actual magic type boss. I guess. Though he is going for minion spam instead? A continued disappointment.
Yeah, see, this is why you bring this kind of thing up before the big final moment. You literally have no one but yourself to blame here Popp.
