| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Avan once again has something to prove to himself and against Hadlar. Like previously, I respect his fighting spirit despite how powerful his opponent is. The fight itself got intense right away and I'm not too surprised to see Avan get a rough beating. However, my favorite part of the episode is when Avan unleashed all that power. Dai vs Hadlar is also pretty cool imo. |

| What an episode. We knew Avan wasn’t making it out based on last week, but man it doesn’t mean it hurt any less. Plus, it wouldn’t be a shonen without the master dying and the student swearing to avenge him while setting out on a journey. I can’t wait to see how Dai and Popp develop throughout the series. Dai’s got a long way to go and I’m gonna enjoy the journey. Shouts to Toei for the quality here. |
 |
| Great episode, I felt this episode a bit rushed, but I think was ok, now expecting to see next episode, and how crocodine looks in this remake. |
 |
 so they plan to remove red blood, this really dumb as always |
 |
| Avan did a suicide attack but his death is kinda lacking in drama? and his magic spells did not disappear when he died? so i guess he is still alive somehow and Dai is a dragon knight eh  |
| I thought they couldn't make Avan's death any more dramatic :'( My man But rejoice, Maam is coming up! And too |
| It's sad for Avan :/ well now Daï is going to be the one that will save the whole situation |
 |
Yeah, they eased up the graphical violence quite a bit in this remake |

| that face when reading the character description of Avan here on MAL |
| RIP Avan sensei, you were a great hero. |
 |
| My homie Croc will make his appearance next ep, can't wait to see his bff in the future lol |
 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 |

| Okay, thats another epic level of battle in Dai no Daibouken. Two excellent battle in one episode, nice! Unfortunately, Avan sacrifices couldn't even beat the op Hadlar. It seemed useless. But, it surely gave a nice moral effect and a great development to Dai's character. He mostly learnt the main point to became a hero with all of the lesson he received, and most importantly that last sacrificial moment. Fortunately he was not death at all, almost. Well, back to the battle scene, with the situations getting worst, Hadlar was still able to escape from Dai transformation, and plan something bad in his castle. So, Dai was the dragon knight. Thats why he had that shiny blue crest on his forehead. The story behind it must be good to be told. But, left aside that, i shall know it might getting reveal slowly.... Then, in my short, finally the real thing of the show arrived via these episode: the adventure of Dai, began! |

 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| It was great, Dragon Quest definetly exceeded my expectations. Avan’s sacrifice led to born of a hero. Dai don’t let your teacher’s sacrifice go in vain. |
 |
| So let me continue the hype every week lol These fights are actually the WORST of whole series, not even close to be called "epic" when comparing to other TRULY EPICCCCCCCC upcoming fights (100x-1000x better than these). Again |
|
| Definitely one of the best master in anime/manga. RIP Avan sensei Dai strength kinda surprised me though, because he already shot a huge beam at 5th episode. I can't wait to see how strong he's gonna be at the end of the story. lol |

 |
| RIP Avan-sensei. Dai wrecked Hadlar so bad and I can't to see how strong he will get. |
 |
| The fights are still well animated and it's nothing compared for the future ones. Avan dies as a hero and will thus give the unshakeable motivation to his disciples to face the army of demons. This little moment when Hadlar lets Avan say goodbye, it shows a certain respect despite all their liabilities. Now things will become more serious with the "first boss". |

Also, I thought Avan's fingers being stuck in Hadlar's head was super metal. |

I think is always worth to read the manga, but maybe some parts of the story don't have the same impact when you will see it animated. Anyway, as I say it's worth, same as see the old 1991 adaptation. |

Also, I thought Avan's fingers being stuck in Hadlar's head was super metal. Read it and you can understand the hype. If you are patient enough, just watch this 2020 version (at very least 100+ eps, 2-3 years running. This 2020 ver will definitely adapt whole 349 chaps manga), muchhh better pacing and animation than the old 1991 version which was dropped at 1/4 manga story (chap 88). If you can't wait, read the manga right now! |
|
| Avan put his life on the line so his pupils can live to see another day...what a man. He definitely is a hero. Dai went sicko mode on Halder lol. Dai ended up scaring Halder away from the island but looks like he'll come back as good as new with a army. Dai's journey shall start to defeat the Demon King. Good episode :) |
 |
| And so it begins... 5 episodes to get through the introduction arc isn't bad at all for a long running shonen, I'm digging this pace. I hope Toei can keep the quality of the show consistent like this, it'd be great having a long-running series that looks this good every week. |

Setsky1 said: Since when Toei can makes 5 episodes with great animation in a raw ??? XD Joke aside, it was absolutly fantastic ! The pacing, the emotion, Avan's sacrifice, everything ! And God, dat Avan Strash !!! I haven't read Dragon Quest Dai no Daibouken before, but if the rest of the show is that good (if not 1000 better than that, like some of you said on this tread and on the previous ones too), it will be one of the best shonen of the decade, PERIOD ! It definitely will IF Toei keeps this animation and adapts manga well. The manga itself was one of the best shonen in lately 80s, early 90s decade lol |

You can also watch the original serie which is a musical delight for the ears and faithful to the manga which is a masterpiece so read it too now if you don't want to wait. |

 What do you get if you fuse King Piccolo with Wolverine? |
 |
| "I am in a lot of pain, but I have no time for that now!" Avan is awesome! Well, was... and Dai just made Hadler look cooler by giving him an X shaped scar xD |
| I make pixelart, comissions open :3 Mecha girl here -^.^- |
| Avan is a true Yuusha T_T rip best character |
 |
| Well, seeing Avan die like that is a but meh, honestly. Nice episode overall. |
 |
| another great episode! too bad Avan has fallen! Dai power-up was amazing! 5/5. |
 |
Avan die like a hero and Hadler fucked up big time because Dai is coming for him now  Overall 7 out of 10 |

Without spoiling anything, it's not really like DnD is known for having big twists and all. One or two come to mind but we're not talking mindf*ck that will make you read the manga differently like SnK or anything like that. It's pure classic 90s shonen. Like eating your favorite cake from when you were a child and having memories coming back. For me it's totally safe to read the manga and not wait until the series is done because it will probably take some time before completion (at least 2-3 years if no pause/rush/cut) |
| Is it just me or is Popp kinda useless? lol |
 |
| Fantastic episode.. enjoyed every second of it! - Avan's last moment. - Hadlar fight. - Dai dragon crest reveal + Avan strash. - And even Popp uselessness was so good to see. I'm so happy for this start.. hopefully it stays like this to the end. |
| Epic episode, fantastic production as well. Some parts of this felt very old school, Hadlar with the Gainax poses somehow reminds me of the saiyan outfits and scenes out of DBZ. Avan-sensei. T.T He tried his best despite his powers having declined over the years, fought valiantly and protected his comrades with his life. Great guy, the OST has he was saying his goodbye to his students was very emotional. Gotta commend Hadlar for at least giving him that courtesy. So Dai is a dragon knight, I'm curious about his origin now and what being a dragon knight entails. Looking forward to the next arc, I think I'm gonna enjoy this way more than I thought. It looks like they will be censoring red blood though, which is a shame since the enemies seem to have that greed blood. I guess it's because of the time slot and target audience. |
 |
| A great battle and such a great sacrificial death. A true hero. Man the adventure is also hype asf. |
 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. |
I am surprised that there are still people who prefer the old version Animation Art stayle Background Character Design There is no comparison just some red coloer not gona make old virson better There is enough blood for vampires You just need to stay patient and grateful |
| As an OK adaptation i appreciate the lightning fast pace this is taking. |
