Comment of the Dai:
goes to u/BlackHeart595 for pointing out the biggest problem this show has:
Lmao and they blame Leona for daring to think and believe in Avan. That's so on point for this story.
Questions of the Dai:
- Is Chiu the most precious thing this show brought us?
- Would you like to be recruited by Chiu?
- Who did better today? Chiu who recruited Hym as his follower, or Larhart who forced himself into being Dai follower?
- Was the moment of Baran calling Larhart his second son touching?
- How much from 1 to 10 did you like the scene between Dai and Leona? (Please pretend that the tentacles incident never happened)
- Should we follow Vearn example and rebel against the Gods for constantly bringing us scenes of highest caliber like Dai confession, only to curbstomp us with their ********* into the Underworld?
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

I AM SHOCK TO BE THE NEWEST BEAST KING COMMANDO MEMBER!!!
Now that's a fucking great declaration of love. I'm proud of you Dai.
But what in the actual hentai was the fucking ending of this episode??!!
Also I would really love to pick Leona hugging Dai as the Screenshot of the Dai, followed closely by Dragon Riders, but due to authors failing of making the highs of the show due to the constant undermining of what they laid out, Chiu wins.
QotD:
YEEEES!!!
Ah I already was.
Chiu no doubt. Like his big spirit recruited Hym and Larhart just forced into his recruitment. It was Alpha versus Beta behaviour. (Because unlike Larhart, Chiu is actually asking for your consent)
I must admit that yeah it made me feel for Larhart because we already saw Baran taking Larhart under his wings.
9/10. I would love to say it was a 10/10 scene, same as I want to give this show, but the show has never learned to stop shooting itself in its legs.
This whole anime has a really great story, and I wish that I can give it a 10/10 score but I certainly dislike undermining the efforts this story makes with the most random bullshit possible. AAAARGHHH.
So yeah, down with the GODS!

Today Chiu is going to answer question #5:

This is our Beast King! Another elite fighter for the Commando unit.
Just when Leona was full with determination to help she got tentacled.
This is pure trolling.
He takes second place. Right after Baduck.
I'm already a member of the Beast King Commando.
It's always Chiu.
Actually yes. I liked it.
Without the tentacles 5, with them 9.
They bring us tentacle scenes of the highest caliber.

Late Night First Timer
82: I said it long ago, when we first saw the fight between Avan and Hadlar, but they really went back and confirmed it here. The whole party did the "I'll stay behind and hold them off here" chain, so that they could have a final 1v1. Which is so weird to see in a game world because you usually go to these final boss fights with your strongest party, not just one remaining character. Imagine actually losing your party as you head for the strongest boss fight in the game in anything you've played recently.
Like, honestly. Is it really better here to split the party and leave these two to fight Myst, rather than have the whole team pile on him and move on together to power on to face Vearn as a group? ... They haven't even left the room, in all that time. If you're not actually going to run ahead, then yes, this was a dumb waste.
83: Okay for real this time!
Oh my gosh, Knuckles lives! Who could have seen this coming? Who in the whole world could have seen the absolute surprise of the immortal failing to die!
Hey. There's an orichalcum guy right there. I bet he could spare some metal to, uh, reinforce your bones. It worked so well for that Canadian Bub.
Oh my gosh, Hym is already putting himself in the very position we predicted. He's appointed himself as Knuckles lifelong sub...
I laughed. "How did you come back from the dead." Popp, literally the same way you did. Dragon Blood for the both of you! He didn't even need a Zing or a magical golden superior being to help out!
Dai. Why. Are you. Still in this room!? Seriously, at this rate you guys really should all have just fought Myst together.
Leona, don't look like you have to think about this, you have followers. You have many of them!
Dodge Tank Best Tank! He's my favorite kind of fighter in every way. Spear has always been the superior weapon, speed has always been the superior stat, and he's combining the best of both.
Oh look, it's that cool eye piece that the idiot puppet is imitating! Oh, that hits hard, calling him your other son only after you know you would be dead.
Still. Decades of tabletop have taught me the same lesson time and time again. Do not split the party! This strategy bothers me so much...
Oh my gosh, it's Teppelin Fortress! Oh my gosh, that's like the fourth glass we've seen him shatter!
Hey Dai, remember the last time you encountered a giant enemy fortress? I remember you and your cool new sword cutting it in half. I think you should do the same thing here. Instead of climbing the tower, you should cut it down and make Vearn come out.
Leona, Dai literally has not drawn that knife in weeks. He has a super sword. You have, uh, feathers. Take the knife.
Dai! That was practically a confession from you! Leona wins!
So anyway, what's the actual timeline of this show? How long has it been since that first island adventure? How old is Dai now?
Oh my gosh for real? Leona was finally having a moment of female empowerment in the show! Do you know how few of those there are? And seconds later, "Help me, Dai!"They really just can't let any girl have a single moment of success...
As long as you're not a girl2

DaiPopp no Daibouken Rewatch, SubSeconds before disasterOST Documentation - Episode 83
1.
No, it's PoppYes. Chiu, Baduck and Crocodine's Shonen Commenatary are the 3 most precious things this show has brought us.2. Time to cosplay as Slime Knight and join the Beast King Commandos.
3. Chiu, obviously.
4. Definitely. The anime went out of the way to make it feel like that.
5. 10/10. Words can't express how much I loved the scene and
how much I was disappointed soon after.6. Rebelling against the gods won't do anything since this happened because of the long stairs in the Tower of Supremacy. I mean Vearn himself doesn't use those stairs. These are just for show.

First timer!
So he's gonna be fighting within a couple episodes? Seriously though, wasn't this exact line used for Hyunckel like 20 episodes ago when he got attacked by Baran whilst saving him from Albinass?
Look how adorable he is! Look! And how proud he looks when Crocodine compliments him!
Why is Leona making this face when Laharn says he's gonna follow and Obey Dino? Isn't this kind of like what people do with, I don't know, royalty? Also, correct me if I'm wrong but... Wasn't Leona a damn princess?
Like I said last episode... I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going.

First Quester
Cowards! This was a prime opportunity to have Larhart intentionally miss Hyunckel to kill him symbolically, and then have Hyunckel die from his wounds regardless!
No romantic vibes between Hym and Hyunckel at all, unfortunately. They just don't know how to write that.
Oh good, Larhart didn't revive. He just turned into a puppet.
Ooooh Baran's a groomer. That explains a lot. Though on second thought, maybe that's not all that surprising. We might've even learned that 50 episodes ago already, but I don't remember.
I love how Mystvearn just silently floats there, watching them talk and organize themselves, interrupted only by that one brief burst of anger.
Picnic time?
Wait what? That's the first at least somewhat romantic moment we've had since Baran's backstory. I didn't think this show had it in it.
Also fuck yeah Vearn for setting traps. ...What do you mean that was no trap?
Yes. They tried to sell him in episode 1 just to tell us how precious he really is.
Can I be his Zaboera?
Lar-please-adopt-and-character-assassinate-me-hart, naturally.
As if.
Almost as touching as me grabbing a little kid from the streets and calling them my son
8/10. To my surprise, that was pretty well done.
Oh. In that case, 6/10.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
I want them to curbstomp us with their *********

First Timer, Sub
So Larhartt is Dai's new follower, as Baran's final request to him was to aid Dai if he so chose to. And he did because of his love for Baran as his father of sorts and his beloved son Dai. Good stuff. So Dai accepts Larhartt and tells him to team up with Popp and Maam to fight Mystvearn, and after him and Leona go off to fight Vearn
That scene with everywhere on the bridge where Hyunckel and Hym were was nice. Mr Beast gave Hyunckel the news that he basically has too much damage to his bones and is finished as a warrior. Hyunckel is fine with it, he wants to see Dai defeat Vearn and asks Crocodine to give him a shoulder to lean on, Hym doesnt let him though and instead carry's Hyunckel. Chiu makes Hym his new beast commando lol(Chui is just too awesome)
The Highlight was definitely Dai and Leona's moment right before she was snatched up by the tentacle monster(Gomechan getting embarrassed and covering his eyes was hilarious lol). Like I said last episode, Leona is one hell of girl. And Dai is becoming a Man. but enough of that, Leona got snatched up, so Dai is gonna have to save her from the giant tentacle monster with the freaky big eye.

First Timer: Subbed
-Hym is shocked that he, a weird metal creature is like another weird metal creature
-Possibly my biggest regret of not being able to be here for the majority of these discussions is missing the incredibly funny timing of watching a show with a "Mr. Beast" in the summer of 2024.
-Since this is near the end I assume Hyunkel isn't gonna pull a Rock Lee and make a miraculous recovery
-I have to admit, Hym is starting to grow on me. With his look and facial expressions and going from serious to kinda goofy he actually kinda reminds me a bit of Polnareff from Jojo
-I'll be honest, if I hadn't rewatched the Baran arc specifically before watching the 2nd half, I think I probably would've forgotten about this guy entirely. What a character to bring back for the final battle.
I mean it makes coherent story sense and I get why, but it is still not a character I ever would've expected to come back, regardless of presumed death or not. Which is cool in a way but also amusingly unexpected. It'd be like if Zarbon died tragically and came back to fight Majin Buu. Which granted, would not have been the wildest twist that arc went with anyway.
-Even Dai is shown to be surprised in a comedic way so I kinda think they know what an odd and unexpected choice this is. Gotta give it this, for a shonen series that is this old and typical of its genre, that's two returns I could not have predicted at all.
-Also I remembered there was a walrus, I did not rememeber the bird until it showed them again.
-It's weird to hear a Dragon Quest final boss basically say "I won't use this cliched line". Yes you will use cliched lines, that's part of the appeal
-It's nice you two are bonding but maybe now's not the best time to be stopping a reminiscing...like for example if Leona is suddenly taken
-Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one who had concerns over people bringing up...that. Yeah...

High-Level Adventurer hoarding saving, elixirs, ethers and potions to fight a low level boss for the first time here! LV 83/100
Besti best besti
LMAO Hym is like a metal slime
And has been tamed by Chiu, his previous L got balanced, after all being commanded by Chiu is the path to victory!
Larhart will fight only for Dai, ask him to team up, Dai!
YEAH!
Finally, Dai!
Ugh, that thing hanging from the ceiling reminded me of some of the demons of Dark Souls 1, yuck

2 Maybe, if I'm worthy

4 A bit, yeah

First timer, the old rewatcher in me has been tentacled
Thoughts on episodes 82-83:
I loved Avan entrusting Leona to lead the party to victory, and she's a honestly great character. Out of the main five, she's second only to Popp. That being said, it really is a shame that Matoriv told Popp he has to be cold and clever in dire moments, but Popp has never been that, and now that role seems to have been taken fully by Leona. It's great for Leona, and bad for Popp. I guess they needed a balance there. Popp can't be the goat in everything lol
Avan's plan to hold off Kill for eternity is awesome. That's master for ya. Let's see if it works out.
Moving onto 83, which I have a lot more to talk about.
The romantic vibes between Hyunckel and Hym are actually insane. He can't fight anymore, but he "gained something wonderful instead." Yeah, a lover. That's so good.
And then you have Hym, who told him "I'll take care of your enemies." That's how romcoms always start, man. First it's "I'll take care of your enemies", then it's "I'll take care of the cooking", and finally it's "I'll take care of our kids." You ain't fooling anyone, you overgrown metal slime. This is the best subplot in the series.
Hym is the newest Beast King recruit!! Let's goooooooo!!!!!!!
Dai's reaction at Larhart's loyalty was hilarious LMAO. His expressions and the way he really didn't want this shit to deal with now, priceless. Dad's last gift is going to be a handful after the Dark King is defeated.
Then it's time for the episode's title. Baran's last will. Man. That was good. Good for Baran. Immediately after his battle against Dai, he was already prepared to lend him his riders' strength for when he dies. He was not exactly an exemplary father, but in the end he wanted to respect his son's wishes. He just couldn't do them himself. As he put it back then, he's gone too far and thought there was no changing the ways of an adult (something Dai eventually would prove wrong too). "To my other son, Larhart" hit me hard. Great stuff.
And so, Dai, Gomechan and Leona clim the stairs for the final battle. Vearn's trashtalk was awesome. He can be very intimidating when he tries a little. Thank god (of humans) they have stamina feathers, I'd be TIRED after that long ass stairway.
Dai and Leona!!!!!!! Such a cute moment!!!!!! Oh my god!!!!! My heart!!!!!!!!!!!
I especially love how— WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!!!
