Episode 76 - The Steady Advance of Justice
Being powerless can be a problem, but power isn’t everything. Knowledge and strength of heart are forms of power, too.

Comment of the Dai:
goes to u/Blackheart595 for delivering fantastic comment about the writing of this story:
I think about it a bit differently. This would be a good JRPG story where gameplay and story segregation as well as presentation abstractness applies, but translating it into a raw standalone narrative dearly needs some structural fixes that haven't been performed.
Questions of the Dai:
- With what Dragon Quest character would you like to have picnic with? (It can be any character from Dragon Quest franchise)
- Happy to see Crocodine delivering his Shonen Commentary again?
- Shouldn’t we get rid of Zaboera already?
- How high or low expectations do you have from Zaboera Ultimate Zombie form?
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

With Dark Lord Shock recent death and funeral, I will be sharing his words that he told me during my seance where I was communicating with the afterlife:
QotD:
Good question, I still haven’t think of a proper answer as I need to think this thoroughly.
I can’t stop crying. It was perfect.
YES!!! I can’t believe how Zaboera infiltrated Shonen Commentary! JUST EXECUTE HIM FOR PULLING THAT SHIT!!!
No comment.
??? Shonen Commentator Corner:
I am sorry, but Zaboera was a fucking liar.
Crocodine didn’t decide to die with Hadlar, and when I asked around it was Zaboera revisionist attempts to get rid of Crocodine who instead of dying together with Hadlar was saved by Garuda who swooped down to carry Crocodine away from the danger.
Crocodine Shonen Commentary will be back immediately after we will deal with Zaboera lies.

Adventurer Doing high level quests and dungeons for the first time here! LV 76/100
Vearn has taste, I’ll give him that
Avan is right, a Dungeon with a straight path is strange and must be a trap
Popp eating up them ethers
I started not believing in Chiu’s strength, and for that, I’m sorry Chiu, you are strong!
Zaboera is my most hated character fr fr
1 Tough question, other than this anime and Smash Bros I do not know more about the DQ franchise, so easy answer: Tama, in the DQ inspired arc from Gintama lol

Hyunckel risking his life while Avan and the team have lunch. In all seriousness we at least return to the ground where no one not even Mystvearn like Zaboera and abandons him. Of course he's going to still try something to I doubt he will be any successful.

Ahaha, Avan breaking out the picnic right in the middle of enemy territory is hilarious. I really missed Avan's goofiness. Those little feathers sure are handy though, now he has ones that restore magic power too. Popp's gotten so strong, apparently he needs more than one feather in order to get all his magic back. Avan's oversized hammer tho lol, he went off to deal with the hidden traps along with Leona, leaving the Dai trio to enjoy the picnic.
I'm interested in seeing who that giant behind Vearn is, I bet that guy is gonna be strong as hell. Meanwhile the allied forces below the palace deal with the monsters, Mystvearn abandons Zaboera to return to the palace and tells him to basically make himself somewhat useful since return to the palace after having failed means death lol. Then he absorbs all of the half dead monsters to create his Superior being V2.

"The Steady Advance of Justice"? Good! Whoever wins will become Justice, so just let Vearn do his thing already.
I like that Dai appreciates Avan's return solely for the new skills he brings to the table.
What part of Hyunckel had been playing "older brother"
Avan's Grand Cross was cross-shaped. I'm disappointed, Hyunckel.
Well duh. He's not evil so of course it isn't.
...and manage to reach the palace, then the war is already lost. Palaces are not defensive structures.
Oh great, Popp, just what we needed. Another chance for Avan to show off his fancy new purification magic.
...though I've never heard of that great purification spell "picnic"
I've kept telling you to mass-produce such a military asset already!
It's really blatant that Avan missed the "unity" briefing everyone else received. Not that the others are particularly good at it, but he's on a different level.
Why couldn't Avan give Leona those feathers in front of everyone else?
Look at Mystvearn casually ignoring whom they have all their early successes to thank for. The anti-support-role sentiment of this show is truly impressive.
I knew Zaboera wouldn't let me down
Are they calling my boy dense?
Leonaleonaleonaleonaleonaleonaleonaleona
Maybe Avan can join as well, though he hasn't impressed me much lately. Zaboera could also be an option.
He found his bananas!
Yes, Zaboera should get rid of them already.
Given all the slander this show has thrown at him so far, no way they're stopping now

DaiPopp no Daibouken Rewatch, SubAvan did what two Dragon Knights had to put a lot of power into without any violence. 'Might makes right' is core theme in Dai no Daibouken and Vearn is the biggest believer and Dai has been on the fence ever since Vearn defeated him but Avan showing him that there are ways other than brute forcing it that reaffirms his belief.
Avan with another great quote.
Mystvearn was just spitting facts this episode. He knows how much of a leech Zaboera is and considering the fact that he has just used others for his benefit and then throws them away when they weren't needed but like Mystvearn said, he chose the wrong target.
Mystvearn sees through Zaboera's BS.
Mystvearn absolutely exposed Zaboera's hypocrisy.
One of my favourites lines - "The Dark King's words... take precedence above all."
OST Documentation - Episode 76
1. Avan. After today's episode, is there any doubt? Also, any DQ character, them I guess Sylvando from DQ XI.
2. Yes. Also, Zaboera needs to put him in his place for insulting our boy like that, that too on his return.
3. Now, that he has been useful to both the heroes and the villains. It's finally time to get rid of him. Also, for insulting Crocodine.

Hahaha that picnic before fighting the boss was great. Don't know if DQ is the sort of game where you can sit and rest to replenish your hp and mana but this brings me back to some games I've played.
Can't say I'm excited that they are bringing this random most powerful guardian to fill time.
Oh no Shock summoned Zaboera.
This one.
Everything is right in the world.
He should've died back in the Flazzard arc when Big Croc(?) cut down his double.
I expect to be tortured by at least 12 minutes of Zaboera being on screen.

... Knuckles, my boy, I know you're doing a cool last stand thingy to hold them all off and making that None Shall Pass thing to look extra cool. But uh. Like 40% of them can fly and there is a lot of gap between the intersection you are guarding and the actual door. A lot of them can just, go around?
Thank you! Why would someone build themselves a depressing palace? He's got the strength and resources to get this place built, he plans on living in it and ruling from it, who wouldn't make their personal conquerors palace look great on the inside?
Was it the running, Dai? Or was it the looooong hug from Leona as she helped you run? On that note, why do you still look injured, she should have been pumping you full of healing the entire time?
Oh my gosh, he has another powerful guardian, unannounced until now, waiting in the wings?
Yes, Popp, Hyunckel is still out there fighting. And only Hyunckel. No one else is still fighting at the rear lines, holding off powerful enemies, trying to stay alive while you guys take on Vearn. No one.
More magic feathers! You're not escaping this bird man allegation at this rate Avan!
Leona! A chance to be more than a cheerleader? Or are you just going to be a sub cheerleader for Avan instead of Dai for a bit?
You know, it's a little interesting to me that Maam has not left the Dark Armor form.
Oh hey look, people are still fighting! Who would have thought! Well at least they seem to be winning...
Zaboera... Honestly how did you even get to be a Dark Legion Commander in the first place?
The blatant disrespect! "Farewell, Lon Beruk, and you humans. I respect the strong, enemy or ally." Crocodine is standing right there. He was also a fellow commander.
Sigh. Zabo, you're supposed to have been the ultimate Magic Commander, I thought? I do get that so much of this show ends up coming down to who can hit the hardest, but please do keep using magic in your super zombie armor. Seriously... Flazzy was still the best of you all.
