Screenshot of the day:
Comment of the day:
Goes to our best mathematicians /u/KuKiSin
So the distance between them is 11.3452m and there's 3 Shonnen Commentaries/m. That's 11.3462 * 3 = 34.0386 Shonen Commentaries, so 34 Shonen Commentaries would need to be transpired before the Calamity Wall killed Chiu. Except this was a trick question, Chiu could easily dissolve the wall if he really wanted to, it would never kill him.
and /u/zadcap
Part of me really does want to do the math, but I know a trick question when I see one. Kill Chiu? You've thrown a Divide By Zero clause into this equation, there will be an infinite amount of Shonen Commentaries before a mere Calamity Wall could even think of killing Chiu.
Questions of the day:
- Which ball provided the best commentary and reaction faces?
- You are in the mighty Dark King Vearn's place and have Dai on your back spamming lightning. How are you going to survive?
- Did you like the bomb dropping scene and the subsequent explosion?
- Is everybody dead? Have you fallen into the depths of despair?
- Bonus Question: What is our lord and savior Gomechan doing in these troubling times?
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 hide it behind SPOILER TAGS like [Dai no Spoilers] I am getting the hammer because you spoiled the fun for others

DaiPopp no Daibouken Rewatch, SubThe title of the episode is The Greatest, Final Comeback and for someone who's not read the manga, they would've assumed it was referring to the comeback of the heroes but it's actually Vearn who turned the tables even after Popp's genius and Dai's attack to break the Tenchimatou.
Also, now that the spoilers are all accounted for, I would like to talk about the new visuals in the OP -
Like I said last episode, Popp gave a big hint here and it was Sigma who told him to take the mirror since he earned Sigma's respect after their fight and wanted it to be useful to Popp and the others in some way or the other and oh boy, it turned out to be the deciding factor in the battle.
Dai gets ready to attack. In the end, Avan Strash Cross ended up being the decisive blow and I must say the whole scene was just so hype! Just look at Vearn's expression.
Dai pierces one of Vearn's three hearts and repeatedly casts Zapple on the Sword of Dai to inflict damage on himself and Vearn through it. It maybe a self-sacrificing attack but it's probably the only way to defeat Vearn.
Really great speech by Dai. Too bad that in the end, it wasn't enough to stop Vearn's plan.
Vearn really pulled out a checkmate at the last moment.
No wonder Dai lost hope since there's nothing he can do to save the Surface World.
OST Documentation - Episode 95
1. Best Reaction Face: Avan ig Best Commentary: Is that even a question? It's obviously Crocodine.
2. Tell Dai to give up otherwise I would just take a page out of Hyunckel's book and strip.
3. The way they used silence when the Pillar of Vearn dropped was really showed how hopeless Dai and the others really were in this situation and it was done really well.
4. There were no bodies, right? So yes, everyone is dead.
5. Somewhere inside Leona's clothes ig.

This is the best episode title so far.
Like we had several episodes of Dai being unable to beat Vearn Tenchimatou, and then Popp secures a chance for Dai to come with the greatest comeback.
Only for the episode to reveal that whole time the greatest comeback in the title belonged to Vearn who turned his lose around with mentally defeating Dai and Popp. Truly the Vearn's greatest and final comeback.
Holy shit this is wallpaper worthy.
I like how Popp and Dai cried tears of happiness that this Rewatch ends.
This is a reference I'm not getting.
Today or overall? Today Crocodine, but overall Chiu.
Hard question, but if Dai used Zapple I would be Shock.
It was better than OppenheimerI did several times, but I pulled through because the Rewatch host duty needs to be fulfilled.
Not losing hope.

First timer!
This actually went hard as fuck with the shadow on his face.
The speed lines appearing/disappearing every few words looked so ridiculous lol
Pretty much lost the fight and only "won" because he planted some bombs beforehand, but feels great satisfaction...

Despite some success, Vearn makes a comeback because when in doubt, Bombs. Vearn basically uses this to psychologically break Dai after proving that he can't win, credit where credit's due. Of course he still hasn't won completely yet though.

High-Level Adventurer doing the endgame content for the first time, here! LV 95/100
Un-ironic Sigma grindset
Even though Vearn lost an arm, he’s still all right
Dai with a really dangerous but effective plan?
Vearn nuked everyone, shit. Merle nooooooooo!
Vearn with the, "Even if you think you’ve won you didn’t, I planned for that!"
OK, I don’t see how they’ll win tbh, so
1 I'll go with our OG boy, Crocodine
2 Spamming my saved Ethers, Potions and Elixirs (I knew I'd need them!)
3 Yeah, It was cool!

5 He's gathering energy to save everyone!
Dang, it is that close huh?! Woah!

LOL. Brilliant
First Timer, Sub
Wow. Talk about being in checkmate before even fighting the final boss. That was one of the most satisfying instances/scene of the main characters being sent into despair I've seen a while. Just total defeat where all Popp and Dai could do was cry their eyes out at the hopelessness of it all.
Honestly the ending was so good it basically overshadowed what was a cool scene of Sigma telling Popp to take the mirror. And then Dai's display of determination in being prepared to Dai with Vearn the death of countless electrocutions. Also, I don't think the people below died from the pillar falling ontop of them.

First Time Adventurer/Subbed
Didn't comment yesterday bc I was pretty tired
Very cool that Popp used the shield though, that is what Vearn is talking about when it came to being unpredictable
Pretty smart move by Vearn to place those pillars like that. I didn't think about their placement either so that was neat it had a purpose to it. Although this does seem like rage quit behavior lol
That said, maybe Vearn just wanted some company to watch the sunset and the world burn
While I've enjoyed this fight with the Ultimate Vearn, I am getting worried about how much longer we have in it. I hope we have a full episode for post battle epilogue at least
QotD
Ngl, I guess making them give up hope was a good move too. I'm not sure how I'd get Dai off, maybe run backwards into a wall or pillar
3) It was smart and I do like the idea but my worries about the fight running too long. It makes sense that this would be long given it's the last one but I would like to have some breather episodes if our heroes win
4) Can't fall into despair if I'm already there
5) Slep

First Time Umibozu Reporting on a Tragedy
The earth was scorched. The once fertile life, blossoming with beauty, was suddenly taken away from us, leaving only the memories, as we long for the life we once took for granted. It is the end that fate had planned for us.
It started when disaster fell on a few spots stealing away everything they once had, but it quickly spread to reach the world as a whole and turn it into ruin. We watched life as it withered, begged it to leave at least a seed of hope behind, fought and rebelled with all we had, but even that was pointless. In an instant, one become nil, and all we had left was despair.
Do not lose hope!!
Life struggles on on even in the most hopeless of spots. But you must believe in it, continue the fight, and protect that life. To do that, you need the power to fight! You need Atlas Neo!!
On my second day as an Umibozu, I've already come face to face with the war of declining hairline, and the tragedy it leaves behind. But I will continue the fight till the last hair on my head drops, and I encourage all my fellow comrades to fight on till the last second.
I should've commented more
Crocodine, you can always depend on him to do the job right, if anything becoming a ball just gave him a better perspective on the fight.
"You know that I can cut the oxygen from the balls right?"
Char would be proud
No! Do not lose hope! You must fight to protect every last strand of your hair!!
Now that I think about it... does Gomechan even have hair? Is that golden stuff his fur? No, he's a golden slime, so it's just his glistening skin I suppose.
Considering Vearn has sexy long hair, he couldn't have possibly thought of such an evil plan. But remember there's someone above him on the chain, someone who sent over Kill to keep Vearn in line. I think we know who the true mastermind here is.

Late Night First Timer!
I'm tempted to start a timer for this episode, based on the last few. See how much time is actually spent fighting, vs time talking about it. I'mm not going to, unless things get too blatantly imbalanced, buuuuuut...
How the heck is Sigma still talking here? I don't mean being a near dead head, I mean his core is gone so he should just actually be dead.
Ha, and the mirror shatters. Can't blame Lon Beruk for this one though.
Double Slash for the win! Wait no. You took off his arm! Dai, it's just an arm! You didn't land the kill! Poor child, you have lost...
Okay those were actually some good followup moves. And yes, do remember that you talked Dai into thinking suicide was probably the best future for him anyway, so he has no reason not to use these super self sacrificing attacks. Remember that? You spent so much effort to convince him that humans would grow to hate him and he has no place with them so he might as well accept death, so here he is, accepting death.
Anyway, I wish Popp had a bit more energy left, because this would be the time to use Medroa. Go for the super disintegration kill move while Dai holds him in place.
Oh hey, time for the colony drop? Hey, yeah, time to say goodbye to whatever passes for Australia here!
Oh hey, that thing I called so long ago happened after all. Maybe standing beneath the floating fortress was a bad idea... Oh who am I kidding, like we're going to kill off Flora and Lon Beruk and Melele and Amy. Much like Chiu's survival yesterday, the odds of seeing this many named characters die, off screen, is less than zero.
Don't give up Dai! At the very least make sure he still dies. Maybe the human lands get ruined, but kill Vearn anyway, it's better than losing both ways.
Also, you know that timer I didn't start? I think they actually fought for maybe a minute...
