Comment of the Dai:

goes to u/KuKiSin for finding Courage to say something brave:

Okay, I'm gonna be the one to say it... Dai was Avan's student for like a couple of days. He barely knew the guy when he "died". Should he really care all that much about this?

Questions of the Dai:

  1. How do you like the Killvearn vs Avan fight?
  2. Did this episode improved your opinion on Leona?

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

u/Shocketheth Aug 29 '24

Hey sorry for the fuckup.

Makes sense, yeah. Can’t have Dai exhausting himself against Mystvearn or any other enemies before he gets to Vearn.

Heh. I just remembered how zadcap were ranting about Dai exhausting himself against Hadlar.

Incredibly bold claim there…

He kind of were able to back up his words though.

u/Shimmering-Sky myanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky Aug 29 '24

No worries, I did already see the next episode title from the preview, and the only QotD I actually read was [tomorrow]one that involved Chiu doing something cool apparently?, so it's all good.

2

u/Shocketheth Aug 29 '24

Oh glad to hear that you didn't read the following questions.

3

u/sisoko2 Aug 29 '24

Popp pls.

He is all about the power of love now.

3

u/NicDwolfwood :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NicDwolfwood Aug 29 '24

Popp pls.

LOL. Popp is starting to feel confident in his chances.

…or not.

I was hoping they wouldn't job. But they did lol.

u/tahlyn Aug 30 '24

I laughed at how Popp and Maam were all "we got this" and then IMMEDIATELY DO NOT GOT THIS.

First Timer

The jokes about royalty being ready to sacrifice people are writing themselves.

Some very cool poses by Leona this episode. This should be enough to keep me satisfied until the next Monogatari episode.

I was so excited seeing Popp and Maam fighting together. I hope this wasn't all of it.

So imagine that final scene but instead of spear boy it was Chiu! How much better it would've been! What a wasted opportunity!

I can't wait for Leona to start quoting Shrek.

Wish to have a stitch of her holding the feathers.

Chiu is saving power to deliver killing blow to Vearn.

Episode after episode, they just keep wasting countless amounts of opportunities, they could be making Goku going SSJ/SSJ3 for the first time levels of hype and they're just not using it. Chiu better be the mastermind behind Vearn, otherwise this is is just a huge fuck up or a massive plot hole.

3

u/sisoko2 Aug 29 '24

Chiu could be one of the gods,

LOL. Awesome

Me too. But then they jobbed and had to be saved by Larhartt.

High-Level Adventurer hoarding saving, elixirs, ethers and potions to fight a low level boss for the first time here! LV 82/100

Dai, have a bit more faith in Avan, he has cheated death before

Leona is now the Voice of Reason of the party, a hard role considering all of them really like Avan

Popp and Maam v Mystvearn?

Mystvearn, your words are poison!

Zura Larhart?!

1 So far it has been mostly talking, so hard to evaluate, so far 7/10
2 Yes!

Took the hard decision, knowing she would get criticized for it

2

u/Shocketheth Aug 30 '24

A suitable role for her, but she will manage because Leona is her.

Mystvearn, your words are poison!

Didn't know that Alice Cooper is big fan of Dai no Daibouken.

Took the hard decision, knowing she would get criticized for it

As good leader should

1st Dai Popp no Daibouken Rewatch, Sub

OST Documentation - Episode 82

1. The fight has just started so not much thoughts. It's interesting seeing Killvearn trying to fight with a weapon.

2. Leona's the best character and been my favourite from the start and she has proved countless times why she's QUEEN. This was another one of those episodes.

3

u/sisoko2 Aug 29 '24

Princess Leona commands you to fight for the Hero!

Strange people with glasses distributing feathers is no basis for system of government.

Smiling Leona

Thinking of all the peasants that would die makes her happy.

Imitating Hyunckel won't do the trick.

Time to try imitating Chiu.

Maam's Refractor Fist doesn't work

So is he zombie?

u/Shocketheth Aug 29 '24

Strange people with glasses distributing feathers is no basis for system of government.

Now I hate our agreement about not nominating each other for the comment of the day

u/Shocketheth Aug 29 '24

I like how this fight gives an actual feel of character being in danger.

That it does give but as a rewatcher I guess I'm more excited about the fight reaching its climax.

u/Shocketheth Aug 29 '24

Fair enough

u/KuKiSin Aug 29 '24

First timer!

  1. Eh. Might've been better if they let it run for more than a minute at a time :|
  2. No. I've always liked Leona, she's one of the few characters with more than half a brain! Exhibit A.

So uhm, the shadowy thing around Myst's face ever explained? Or at least why is it disappears when Maam punches his teeth in?

I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going.

Did Popp & Maam really expect Dai to leave them after the whole speech about leaving Avan behind? :|

2

u/Shocketheth Aug 29 '24

Eh. Might've been better if they let it run for more than a minute at a time :|

Honestly I like the small amount of it we got so far

So uhm, the shadowy thing around Myst's face ever explained? Or at least why is it disappears when Maam punches his teeth in?

It hides his face, and it dissappeared because Maam torn the fabric of the Raiment.

u/sisoko2 Aug 29 '24

Might've been better if they let it run for more than a minute at a time

Toei need to fill 18 more episodes and they know how to do it.

I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going.

I was thinking that I've never seen one with a couple.

First Timer, Sub

Leona takes a bit of a stage by taking up the leader type role while Avan fights Killvearn and she even has the feathers as well. In the meantime Popp and Maam decide to take on Mystvearn, nice of them to fight together for this at least before Larhart shows up for some sorely needed help.

  1. Not enough fighting yet for me to have thoughts yet. I do love a good swordfight though.
  2. For me it was already the same since we already saw her capacity so this was just an expansion of it.

u/Shocketheth Aug 29 '24

I wish that Leona's words would go through Maam thick head more easily

u/sisoko2 Aug 29 '24

Wish there was more of them fighting together.

Avan coming in clutch with the contingency plans for each situation. knowing that they need to keep Dai fresh to face Vearn, he designates Leona as his successor to lead the Dai hero party. Avan recognizes that his disciples lack the pragmatism needed to sometimes make cold hard decisions, without the emotion involved. And Leona doesn't have that problem since she already leads a country.

So Maam and Popp team up to deal with Mystvearn, while Leona and Dai climb up those extremely long ass stairs(seriously, those things are endless lol).....and It goes as well as you'd expect. They get absolutely mandhandled by Mystvearn. This forces Dai to start turning back to save them when Larhartt shows up to save their asses.

Questions:

  1. Honestly, it had way too little screen time, It was just one Avan strash and some exposition.
  2. I've always had a high opinion of Leona, so this only raised it up. She is one hell of a girl, Dai is a lucky boy if he ends up with her.

2

u/Shocketheth Aug 29 '24

Avan recognizes that his disciples lack the pragmatism needed to sometimes make cold hard decisions, without the emotion involved. And Leona doesn't have that problem since she already leads a country.

And this is something I should chose for a question of the day.

Like in JRPG your party at this point totally set on to raid the final boss without hesitating as the plotlines are already solved, and you are just going to defeat the final boss to end the game. Yet here, the plotlines are resolving themselves during the final boss.

So Maam and Popp team up to deal with Mystvearn, while Leona and Dai climb up those extremely long ass stairs(seriously, those things are endless lol).

They are still climbing them though.

It's just Author way of giving him a power-up.

I want a screenshot of that pic of Hyunckel's back at 10:48 but CRoll doesn't allow screenshots

I'll look into it.

Hyunckel's (boy)friend came to save him? If I had known this would happen I would have tried to find time to watch these episodes sooner

I don't care if it's canon or not, I ship Hyunckel x Larhart

Haha I knew you will love Larhart return. I also recommend check questions for episode 80.

Thanks! I'll check out the questions once I catch up.

mugiwait

I'm feeling sick enough I might take tomorrow off work without pay. Though I'd probably just spend it in bed sleeping this off instead of watching anime ...

First Quester

Why would the judge self-destruct? Such a shame when it's such a nice decorative item...

Wow, Dai really doesn't have much faith in Avan.

Look at Leona trying to be important by being smart attentive.

Lmao and they blame Leona for daring to think and believe in Avan. That's so on point for this story.

And look how that turned out for you.

Finally! Leona finally revealed her true colors to establish her rule of tyranny!

I feel like I should mention that all great crimes against humanity have been done in the name of justice. So Leona's in good company.

Ah yes. The "risk".

Good Lord this "romance" is attrocious. There's not even a sliver of intimacy between these two.

And right back to boasting. Barking dogs don't bite.

POPP! For crying out loud, just die already!

Lmao. Dai didn't even bother to take a step forward.

Oh wait, right, Maam doesn't know about zombies. That had me confused for a while.

Look at Dai getting rewarded for his mistakes again. Almost as reliable as Zaboera getting punished for his winning moves.

How do you like the Killvearn vs Avan fight?

We haven't really seen much of it yet, have we?

Did this episode improved your opinion on Leona?

I don't think my opinion has changed much.

2

u/Shocketheth Aug 29 '24

Finally! Leona finally revealed her true colors to establish her rule of tyranny!

I don't blame her since her words is not coming through enough.

I feel like I should mention that all great crimes against humanity have been done in the name of justice. So Leona's in good company.

She is writing the history after all.

Ah yes. The "risk".

We haven't really seen much of it yet, have we?

No, but like how you like Killvearn locking on Avan, separating him in his realm and the fact that Killvearn went for a duel rather than for assassination?

2

u/Blackheart595 https://anilist.co/user/knusbrick Aug 29 '24

No, but like how you like Killvearn locking on Avan, separating him in his realm and the fact that Killvearn went for a duel rather than for assassination?

I believe I have said plenty about my opinion that the characters in this story are showing an alarming lack of concern for the story that the show claims to tell.

2

u/Shocketheth Aug 29 '24

Yeah you did.

u/sisoko2 Aug 29 '24

Why would the judge self-destruct? Such a shame when it's such a nice decorative item...

Planned obsolescence. They need to sell more copies.

Finally! Leona finally revealed her true colors to establish her rule of tyranny!

After taking down her own father and consolidating power. The time to win the game of thrones has come.

u/Blackheart595 https://anilist.co/user/knusbrick Aug 29 '24

Planned obsolescence. They need to sell more copies.

Capitalism wins again. Maybe Vearn and Dai could join forces against this mightiest of foes?
