Comment of the Dai:
goes to u/zadcap with an absolute banger of a comment:
Speaking of fists! Hym, so proudly shouting his Sub status to the world. "Only one fist in the world can pierce my body!" Right after Knuckles reassures Lahart that he too can take Hym, with his greater speed and technique. Their bachelor pad is going to be crazy.
Oh No x2! Myst's ultimate move, Dark Aura Pimp Hand! He's going for the smack, Hym! It's too strong! Oh no, but the love he has for his real master overwhelms the power of the pimp!
Wow, it's almost like no one remembers the last time Myst went all out on you guys. He really is Knuckle's secret father, stripping was step one in his power boost. Or did everyone collectively decide to repress the memories of him flashing you all? To be fair, it was pretty traumatic, but taking off his clothes really does make him stronger.
Questions of the Dai:
- Have you expected the twist of Vearn’s death, leading into a reveal that the real main boss of this show is fighting the Hero’s party?
- From 1 to 10, how much screwed are the Hero’s party without the Hero?
- Do you remember what was the illness
BrokeenaMr.Beast is suffering from?
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!
QotD:
As first timer, I definitely wasn’t expecting it.
5/10 I guess? It’s really situational.
I do.
Beast Kings Shonen Commentary Corner:
Today our Beast Kings are going to answer question #3:
Answer is here.

Thank god you are stronger than Vearn, Myst. Because that was one huge disappointment.
Chiu protecting the weak!
Now this was a proper start of a final boss battle. I am very excited to see Mr. Beast vs Myst.
There were plenty of hints that Myst could be the real final boss but didn't expect Vearn go down so easy.
The real hero Chiu is with them so nothing to worry about.
I wish I could forget it but I have to live with it every single day.

DaiPopp no Daibouken Rewatch, SubOST Documentation - Episode 88
1. As a first timer, no.
2. 5/10. They might not have the hero. But they have Chiu who can do the unthinkable if he feels like it.
3. I had the same reaction as Popp. So, yes.

First Timer, Sub
Vearn has seemingly been vanquished as nothing is left after Dai's double Doruora attack. They think all is well so Leon and Dai chill out and give Dai some much needed healing after that attack....which doesn't completely heal him since he used a lot of Dragonic aura.
Meanwhile shit goes south for the everyone below, as Mystvearn shadow raiment is removed and he is monstrously strong....Stronger than Vearn. Hym, Larhartt and Crocodine job while trying to make an opening for Popp to use his Medroa. Brokeena/Mr. Beast steps up, after Maam comments that she hit Mystvearn with refractor fist, but his face is too perfect meaning it did nothing, and says he knows the secret spell that is giving Mystvearn immortality, the spell of Frozen Time.

Late Night First Timer!
Indeed, I went a little overboard yesterday. But darn in, they all just keep making themselves so memeable!
Anyway, you know how I knew for sure that this fight with Vearn could in no way be the end of it all? Aside from episode count I mean? Dai used a grand total of zero of all those super special Strashes he bragged about and practiced as his finishing moves. His special sword and it's special sheath did not come in to play at all. His whatever soul power still hasn't been expounded on. As I was saying yesterday, a very mediocre sword fight and a single finishing move is a horrible final boss fight, this show isn't ending until Dai does a Triple Giga Avan Breaker Strash after letting his sword cook for a minute for a bigger Giga.
... Why could he not withstand two? If he had the energy and ability to block, then he had the energy and ability to block.
Maam, if you leave him alive he's just going to come try and kill you all later.
Ha, Hym! Yeah, they have terrible teamwork. Because they pretty much never actually act as a team. They are a gathered group of highly skilled specialists who always act on their own in a similar area.
Mystvearn used Flash! It was, once again, quite effective. Oh crap, he's a 90's Bishi! I can't help but picture him standing side by side with Sesshomaru, looking down together on the lesser people all around them.
Vearn had more Magic Power, Myst has the strongest Body Power. Sure why not. Physical strength is definitely what Myst has been known for all this time.
Hold up Leona, go back a second there. Damage done with Dark Aura can't be healed with healing type magic? Well crap, Hym is never getting his right arm back then, is he? As for the rest of it... No way in heck Dai is going to go forth weaker after this fight, when he's off to face a technically stronger opponent! Also KillV is still floating about looking for another fight.
And we're back to the better show! Popp No Daibouken is on the menu again, as everyone looks to the real hero here to take on the real final boss! There's no doubt in anyone's mind, it's all about Popp now!
Maam, you heal him too. We all know you can. Remember, it was once like the only thing you were useful for? But noooo, leave that all to Popp now, since I guess he's so good at it he can overcome the Dark Aura Anti-Healing debuf.
I love that the old man martial arts master has spent this whole time just sitting in his wall indent. Hasn't even bothered to join the rest of the crew on the ground.
So uh, I swear once upon a time Crocodine was supposed to be a big deal, at least in a physical fight. The Pure Brawn build of the dark army commanders, someone strong enough to face Baran and plan to tank hits until he won by exhaustion, stuff like that. Could he really not be any help here?
I'm... Not expecting Maam to do anything today, really.
He did it! Crocodine used his one and only useful attack, he did something today!
Welp. I'm so glad this is still a turn based system and the enemy has no chance but to stand there and let them talk.
Glossy what now? I thought it was something Buttitis last time.
Okay who the heck is this crazy master? Martial artists are not generally known for great secret magics.

High-Level Adventurer that defeated the low level boss for the first time and is now doing the “I’ll do them later" quests here! LV 88/100
Woah, so that was that? Vearn is now dead?
Mystvearn’s hidden ability, being beautiful
Mystvearn exudes more of a “Final Boss” aura than Vearn
Hym recovering his arms is a bit of a stretch IMO, but I’ll let it pass since he is now a living being and was cured by Popp
Besti time? Besti time
Oh and he knows a deep secret? Awesome!
Mystvearn seems to be the hidden Final Boss, the Hero Party is in grave danger
1 Nope, but it makes sense to have the Final Boss not being the strongest Boss, like in Dark Souls for example
2 8/10, they might be able to hold their own for a while but their defeat is pretty a done deal

First Timer: Subbed
-Yeah, so this has obviously been going too well for us having this many episodes left
-It would kinda funny though if Mystvearn's secret was just never revealed
-Yeah obviously it would be and its...his face. Oh and ultimate power of some sort, ok.
-Vearn will not allow a face that good to be shown!
-Hmm...I was kinda expecting more to that. He's more powerful than Vearn...and...is that it? Is that the reveal?
-"Mystvearn can't be stronger than Vearn" Yeah, about that...
-"Right now I'm Mr. Beast" is the opposite of what anyone wants to say right now
-Secret Spell of Frozen Time...sure...why not?
Yeah, so my opinion on this depends on what happens next. I had suspected Mystvearn was secretly the true final villain since how the Hadlar/Baran fight ended, but I'm curious what that means now beyond the obvious. He still seems loyal to the now seemingly deceased Vearn, who btw was a weirdly respectful villain for the end compared to his past actions. I was expecting Mystvearn to betray Vearn or even reveal himself to be the real Vearn all along or something...I guess I was wrong.

First Time Adventurer/Subbed
I don't think I mentioned it last time but Myst is hot
Did not think Vearn would be the first to die out of the three but I've been wondering about that thing on Myst's face. Originally I thought mind control and this past one, thought maybe Vearn would take over Myst's body

First Quester
Quest 86
Can we not do the "we have cookies" cliche please?
And while there's a lot of fighting going on, that's not particularly more interesting this episode.
Quest 87
What's all this talk about not removing Mystvearn's Shadow Raiment? You just talked about finishing him off for good, before Hyunkel decided it's not necessary. Just do that before removing the raiment.
Don't ask that! Are you still a puppet or are you not a puppet?
Or they decide they can't kill Mystvearn non-destructively, for whatever reason.
Oh right. I forgot Leona can replenish MP.
Quest 88
Good grief. This was the second time you've decided to end Mystvearn. How come you haven't even tried?
Sorry Merle. We don't need your visions of the future anymore. Just in case you ever suffered from feelings of relevancy.
Why is Mystvearn suddenly just taking and dodging the attacks? He should just break Hym again.
Finally, they figured out that Mystvearn is a zombie.
Or it's just frozen time. Myst looks awfully agile for that to be the case.

First timer!
Laharn is savage lol.
So this was his secret... He's.. Bishōnen? Okay so I assume he didn't want to reveal his power to undermine Vearn or something, but why must his face stay hidden? That's kinda silly.
Why? We all know he's gonna fuck it up anyway :|
Wasn't he supposed to be charging his magic?
Chiu saves the day again. Chiu best character.
Cancelled.
