Hym made a hell of an impression this episode. What a return and seriously, this was another tough episode for Hyunckel.

I must say, Hym's return is perhaps his best appearance yet and he looks great in shape.

Was a cool episode, with great animations with Hym.
But i think the new comic scenes with Chiu and Eimi were there to extend the episode and made it stops when Hyunckel rises again. This way we have a full fight episode next week...It's obvious that it was forced....

This episode was crazy. If you guys think about it. Hym is known as a pawn on a chessboard. But Pawns can actually be upgraded greatly which is something I forgot about. Now Hym is now upgraded and much stronger than before is high or at least on Par with Hyunckel. As for Zaboera I am glad the guy is gone, and hope he is gone. Anyways. Looking forward to next episode. Why do I like Hym now? Wow.

Hym resurrected by the dying will of his comrades! Bashing his way onto the scene at Vearn Palace going right after Hyunckel. It might seem like a bit of a cheap way to get a proper fight between the two but it does fall in line with the narrative. Hym could hear the anguish of his fellow guards and Hadlar himself as they died and couldn't let that stand. Hym had to come back and at minimum stop his rival Hyunckel. One last thing to do for those he's lost. Its an epic moment seeing Hym body the arrogant monsters Hyunckel had been keeping back. Hym just wrecks them all like its nothing so he can get to Hyunckel. Sending Hyunckel himself down to the depths where he has his own remembrance of what Avan told him a true warrior is. Not giving up until you've tried everything you've can, no matter how difficult it gets. Next episode we'll see the proper conclusive fight between the two rivals. Crocodine roasting Zaboera once and for all was dope. Chiu got some funny moments too as he leads a party up to Vearn Palace with a bunch of healing items that should be useful for Dai and company.

Every episode just been getting better and better the last few weeks.

Hym being a live was a massive shock to me, I totally forgot he existed tbh. One thing about this show I love is the resourcefulness of the writers in always using people they introduce to their full extent.

Ngl I’m kinda disappointed hym has to fight to the death with Hyunckel tho, he’d be a nice ally to have in this final fight. Got a little annoyed when he destroys the monsters only to turn around and want to fight ala majin Vegeta.

What I love the most is Nova is taking care of Lon Beruk like a lover, and considering that Nova's father is very nearby, I think it's a perfect time to introduce Beruk as his boyfriend to his father.

Next episode Hyunckel is shirtless again! Probably the most fanservice character in DQ Dai, exceeding even Dai himself. On the verge of death Hyunckel only think of 3 people, Dai, Popp, Maam, plus Avan, plus Leona, sorry Eimi, you're not in his top list.

I'm wondering if Hadlar's soul enter Hym the same way Baran's soul enter Dai, it's a very romantic way of afterlife.

The ugliest character in the series (Zaboera) is finally dead !!


Hym inherited Hadlar's Aura, and got much stronger. This was expected because Pawn piece in chess game get promoted when it reaches the other side of the chessboard

Lame plot twist. I'm just so tired of anything related to Hadlar now.

When i was younger and read the manga 25 years ago, i reacted like you

"What a lame plot twist and what an easy way to make Hadlar come back with Hym"

BUT

i'm no more agree with this today. It's in fact MASTERCLASS WRITING



- The symetry between Hyunckle and Hym. Hadlar and Avan are a dad figure for both of them. they have friends they love and fight with (Dai, Popp, Maam vs Alvinas, Sigma, block)
- They are called back from death by their dad figure
- It's all about legacy master/dad legacy to a disciple/son
- They will fight until the end of their touki
- Hyunckel vs Hym is the symetry of Dai vs Hadlar
- The symbolism of a pawn chess piece being promoted
- The fact it has been 30 episodes, the scenarist show us the relationship between Hadlar team members, showing us Vilains have goals and ideals too and are repectables (not a lot of anime does that, you know)
- Postponing the fight between Hyunckel vs Hym, so it's not linear fights like in "one piece" is great too and refreshing...
- The fact that Hym is no more a puppet but has to win his own freedom is very symbolic too...

We are at a point where Hyunckel and Hym are completly equal in term of story and determination. It's a peak. and we want the both of them to win. the fight is hype.

So no it's not a lame plot twist, its seems at first glance, but it's not when you really think about it !

NB : Hym's seiyu is hot in this episode, don't you agree guys ?

No way Zaboera really death? I thought he really had something under his sleeve xd. Yikes look at how parasite died, and he should've get more honorable death if he wasn't that persistent. Good job, Crocodile!

Also, Hym got an upgrade with a bless from his death lord and the desire to vent anger toward his eternal rival. A newborn aura surely got such an explosive vibe and its gives Hyunckel an instant down. Once again Hyunckel is on a pinch, almost lost, but manage to stand up because that's how he's supposed to be.

Hym and Hyunckel. One has been reborn from the hell and the other reawaken from the darkness. Two of them also got the same silver hair. Can Hyunckel defend the immortal title and live to tell the tale? Or shall Hym took all the glory from Hyunckel and avenge the death of his dad?
So yeah the next few episodes shall be interesting to see...

Lmao totally deserved for Zaboera, I hope that he's definitely dead and that we won't see him again, Crocodine is as cool as before.
Though the most surprising part is Hym being back with a new form and fighting against Hyunckel, damn it's so much hype

Zaboera finally got what he deserved. Krokodine's reaction shows just how far the character has come since his first appearance.

Hym returns from the dead and thirsts for revenge. The appearance of his long hair and the scene where he eliminates all the enemies were very well animated. You may also notice a detail that we could easily miss in the manga.

Finally the parasite Zaboera met his end at the hands of Crocodine. Meanwhile Hyunckel comes face to face with Hym who came back from the dead to avenge his fallen comrades including Hadlar and has taken a new form along with the ability to use aura. The new version of Hym is appears to be too much for Hyunckel, but he regains his composure after finding the resolve to channel his fighting spirit against Hym.

Same !
honestly if there is something i hate about this anime is how a lot of characters have such a thick plot armor. They "die" several times but they get revived or survive somehow, this happens especially for Hyunkel and Hadlar.

Very enjoyable episode for sure, another one of the six legion commanders falls.

Hym looked so dope in this episode and the animation was nasty too!

Literally have no idea how Hyunkel is supposed to compete with Hym, he needs reinforcements asap.

Next episode looks like another epic battle can’t wait!
