| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Avan is such a weird guy but he's got some absurd strength. Dai is still such a kid this episode. I think he's got a long way to go to really become a hero. I find his training session rather amusing. Gotta give credit to the kid for trying hard though. |
 |
| Next ep is Hadlar's debut. I LOVEEEE this pacing. Ep 5 will be awesome!!! |
 |
| Nice episode once again, lovin it. |
| Good episode, I just don't like too much the rate of the beginning, but otherwise was good. I really felt the trainning part of this episode at a good rate, so no conplain there, I am also expecting too much for the Hadora appearance. |
 |
| thats a very fast pace training arc lol next week is the end of the training or their training will be interrupted should i say by the Dark Lord lets see if Dai can master cutting all earth, sea and air next week |
I really don't like these "censored blood". Dai no Daibouken has many bloody intense fights, please don't censor them Toei, use real blood!!! |

It's not censored, Hadlar and the demons have black blood. Also, in the 1991 anime the blood was blue with some kind of glitter effect, actually seems more like a kind of blue fire in that adaptation. |

It was paced perfectly and felt brisk. There's a lot of little things that they adjusted that helps reinforce things like characterization for later but it's pretty much spot on with the manga as a whole. Super happy with the work they're doing. Silverstorm92 said: I really don't like these "censored blood". Dai no Daibouken has many bloody intense fights, please don't censor them Toei, use real blood!!! https://i.imgur.com/irI5ajp.jpg The 1991 version used glowing blue fluid with tinges of red for this scene so it's not like they used blood in that version either. I actually really like the change they used for this because the monster disappears too making it feel more like a an otherworldly monster though I guess it technically is. It also reminds me of a fantasy game too, lol And like the other post mentioned, their blood is supposed to be black. Brass mentioned it earlier in the episode and it's the same line as in the manga. I don't watch the old anime. Thanks for correcting me :) |
|
| My goodness, they really nailed Popp's and Avan's voice. Very close to the originals. But Avan's fight is not going to be in a cave this time, huh. And geez now Hadlar is coming up. Faster pace indeed. |
| Wow sensei turned into a dragon or was he a dragon who turned into a human I wonder. |
 |
| Enjoyed this ep a lot with Avan finally making his appearance ...and Poop too I guess |
 If you're having crippling depression, hopefully our videos will send you to another world and have you reborn as an isekai protagonist https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc8rSgYdcdZUSXXqVJhNwLw |
| So I´ve been getting the references of the spells, since I have played a few DQ games before, but I don´t remember transforming into a dragon to use attacks, so I guess that´s something only he does. On a side note, is really cool that Dai openly says he likes the princess. Avan gives me some heavy Merlin vibes, same voice and behavior. |
| Amazing Episode can't wait for next |
 |
| Hah, its about time another characters appeared. Its Popp and his master, the agent of justice xD. Surely their appearance kinda funny. But, beside their appearance they looked so strong so far. Even Avan had a strong light spell that could prevent the darkness power to posessed the monster on the island. Wow, such a massive power! Popp even had a potential too, with his magic, could burn that Gargoyle in an instant. However, like Avan's said, his lack of determination kinda made him stuck below the average and never surpassed his weakness. However, by seeing Dai intenses training, it seemed, slowly, Popp might realized his weakness as soon as possible. The motivation indeed became a massive answer to be stronger. Dai did a quick learnt by taking a special hard training from Avan. A lot of various lesson he had, from strengthened his physical, did a lot of combatant technique already launched, slicing a huge rock, a sword play in the afternoon, then a little battle against Avan himself at the end of the second day, slowly raising up his combat's level. Two days in, Dai already changed himself and mastered the basic technique of sword, forced Avan to show Dai his special attack and told Dai to mastering it in a flash. Avan's Strash, thats its name! First stages easily passed, an Earth Slice. Now, the second stages Dai needed to defeat Avan's again. Its interesting to see how Dai could fight and defeated Avan, but on the Dragon's form now. Lets see the next to see the result! |

It’s not a very popular spell, but it’s always there. https://dragon-quest.org/wiki/Puff! If you played Dragon Quest Monsters you might recognize it by its older name, BeDragon. |
| Now I know why the upcoming game is called Infinity Strash |
| Avan’s dragon form is looking good. |
 |
| I'm very glad that these first eps get many positive reviews though first two arcs are the worst of whole manga. The story will get much better from Flazzard Arc and 100x better from Baran Arc onwards... Can't wait to watch those parts being animated with this great animation!!! |
|
Colors143 said: Am I forgetting something? Why did Dai say he needs to train to get stronger to save princess Leona? Did something else happen to her that I'm not remembering. I thought he saved her last episode and then they said their goodbyes until they meet again. She doesn't need to be saved. Or is it because of the dark lord being back? He has to save her from the dark lord? The dark lord has an army of powerful demons... He wants to conquer earth, invade all countries in the world and he is doing well. Leona is the queen of Papnika Kingdom and it is being invaded by his demonic army. |
|
| This show is much better than thought it was going to be. Honestly I haven't played the games but I still feel like I have the important information given to me. |
| I'm late because I was watching anime and forgot... |
| A dragon with glasses lol. Avan is an interesting character and I can't wait to learn more about him. And it was nice seeing Dai taking the training seriously. |
 |
| In the original anime, Avan transformed to dragon in the 5th episode With this pace we will get to Baran arc much earlier. Can't wait !!! |

| Training time with a tutor that can turn himself into a dragon......with glasses...............nice. Well Dai is on his way to becoming a hero and we finally get to meet the second main character of the story, Popp and nothing else really happens besides his training. Ok episode :) |
 |
| So the Dark Lord has returned and is causing the monsters to go out of control. Luckily Avan and Popp arrives on Dai's island to train Dai on how to fight like a hero after calming the monsters on the island. Avan puts Dai through a series of exercises and he's getting stronger everyday. Dai finally learns the Avan strike technique and his final test is to beat Avan who has turned into a dragon. Seeing Avan turn into a dragon reminds me of when Vegeta turn into a Great Ape for the first time, It was that powerful. |

Now that rings the bell. It makes sense then that I recognize the old name. Thanks a lot for letting me know :D |
z00nex said: Avan’s dragon form is looking good. I completely agree. I liked episode but I think the cliffhanger is nothing but hype! Next episode might be the best yet. |
| This was an okay episode. Better than last week's for me. Nice seeing some training and lessons here for Dai to comprehend and grow from. |
thepath said: In the original anime, Avan transformed to dragon in the 5th episode With this pace we will get to Baran arc much earlier. Can't wait !!! This kinda feels like a "Brotherhood" version of Dragon Quest. I hope we keep a fast pace until the Baran arc and then we get to enjoy the rest of the story that was never animated at a slower pace. As an old fan of the first series I'm enjoying this one very much! |
| Nice episode. I'm glad that Dai takes Avan's training serious. It was only a cheap sword, Imagine what a real legendary sword attack would look like |
 |
| damn the training was just getting good. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Another good episode and I liked how Dai takes Avan's training serious and Dai master everything in two days while Popp didn't take the training seriously even though the dark lord has return Popp is just relaxing and at the end of the episode when Avan yelled out loud Puff I was like WtF but thank god he only transformed into a dragon with glasses Overall 7 out of 10 |
 |
| The pacing is quite good so far. Next episode, things will start to get serious. My only little concern is really about the music that is not at the level of that of the original series. For the censor, i'm waiting for the result of attacks on important characters. |
| . |
| Popp was saying that is impossible to become an hero in a week. It seems that things are looking good for dai in only 3 days of traning, it helps that he is hard working and has a lot of talent. |
Inuki said: My only little concern is really about the music that is not at the level of that of the original series. exact same feeling. Everything is fine. pacing, animation, etc... that's perfect But the music... big no no. no offense to the composer but that's nowhere near to the first series. I don't have that epicness feeling like before. |
Silverstorm92 said: I really don't like these "censored blood". Dai no Daibouken has many bloody intense fights, please don't censor them Toei, use real blood!!! Are you blind ? / Bot or something / That monster have black blood. |
First, I only read manga, manga only has black and white colors lol Second, Demons' blood in manga is described as Blue but I still think the monsters from Human's world (surface) should have red blood, only Makai's monsters' blood is blue but maybe I am wrong :)) Please don't insult like that lmao, so impolite, kiddo :) |

Karmafan56 said: Is this show geared towards little kids? Yes. Its a kids show, but that shouldn't stop you from watching this show if you like it. |
|
Karmafan56 said: Is this show geared towards little kids? Well the level of violence is like Saint Seiya or DBZ and YuYu Hakusho to stay within the original series airing period. Each person has a different approach to blood. So i wouldn't recommend it for little kids who are easily impressed. |

| 1 episode in and I already love male Juvia haha :3 |
 |
| Avan Strash! oh man! that's the same attack move of Dante! nice! 5/5. |
 |
| Omg.. this show is just great |
| Gotta say, seeing Avan after so many years after watching the original anime and reading the compete manga some years later, bringed a tear to my eye. |
