| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That's some pretty tough armor that Dai went up against, not to mention the deadly magic. I gotta give some credit to Dai for facing that sort of threat head on. Felt bad for Dai this episode. He looked beat up and helpless after that. |
 |
| It's so funny and... weird that the story is getting better and better but Mal score is getting lower and lower while Imdb rating is continuously increasing through each episode lmao :)) Btw, Good episode this week with some Hyunkel's past. |
 |
| Man I wasn’t expecting Crocodine to come to Dai’s rescue, but good thing he did because shit was getting hectic. You have to empathise with Hyunckel somewhat. But him being blinded by rage is pretty stupid IMO. Yea, your father died, but he was a general for someone bent on destroying the world. It’s not like he was raising puppies and Avan just murdered him. But shonen’s gonna shonen. Really enjoyed the episode as usual, can’t wait to see what Dai and Pop cook up to get Maam back. |
 |
| This episode was fun. Man Hyunckel had a good monster parent despite what he was, and he was always happy with him. But as they say unfortunately they get killed. Hyunckel got stronger just to kill Avan, but was unlucky to not get that chance to do so. That aside, Hyunckel's power is no joke. The fact he managed to drove Dai, Popp, and Maam to the corner is not something so simple. Even so Dai and Popp get saved by Crocodine who seems to have a fondness of humans, and tries to convince Hynckel that it is okay to be human. Then his dying words is that he hopes to be reborn as a human. Then Hyunckel is taking Maam hostage so that will get Dai and Popp out in the open so he can finish the job. What an episode. Looking forward to the next episode. |
| Wow, the Crocodine heel/face turn came much sooner than I expected. Mind you I haven't actually read the source material for this so I wasn't sure it would happen, but I had a feeling it might. And I liked it, even if he's really dead now but hopefully he's not. Hyunckel's backstory I'm a bit less enthusiastic regarding. I enjoyed the raised by monsters parallel it has with Dai's own, but part of me just found it a bit too silly. Oh no, skeleton papa turned to dust! Ya know? Plus part of me wonders if Avan was even the real one who killed him, the already undead skeleton, but probably. Regardless good stuff yet again. This Zapple in next week's title...Is it a lightning spell Dai and Pop will need to cast together or something? That's my guess anyway. |
| Avan killed the father of Hyunckel eh and now he is a misanthrope im curious about that Air Slash move that is suppose to be better than Avan Strash will Crocodine die too though i hope not Maam is taken as hostage lets see how they will rescue her next episode |
| Crocodine goes down (?) but props for the dude to actually change his outlook on humans after losing instead of bearing a grudge. It's untypical of a monster, so it's nice to see. |
| This anime shit is addictive |
No But you need to learn slice the earth, sea and air before you do Avan strash. Dai's Avan strash is not real avan strash because he did not learn how to slice the air. However, the reason why Dai's incomplete avan strash was able to do a lot of damage to hadlar and crocodine because he had Dragon Crest on his head . Dragon Crest increase Dai power by huge margin and even normal attacks become strong. |

| I wonder if Crocodine is still alive or he will become an undead soldier for Hyunkel. Didn't expect him to save them, thought it would be Leona and her men. |
| Hyunkel’s backstory was sad, I felt bad for him. I didn’t expect Crocodine to save Dai, I think Dai’ll get some kind of power up and get back at Hyunkel. |
 |
| I don't understand. I thought monsters were mindless rampaging killing machines under the influence of Hadlar (like we saw it with Brass), and now in Hyunckel's backstory we see that they are pretty much like humans, being nice guys and having feelings and a free mind. They even adopted a human baby while being at war against humanity. This doesn't make any sense, and because of that I thought that Hyunckel sob story was pretty incoherent and stupid. Also, in the last episode we saw an almost dead Crocodine being healed in Hadlar's fortress, and now we see him appearing right where Dai is and just at the right moment, almost magically like a typical, bad and convenient deus ex machina. For all these reasons, the episode wasn't very good to me. |
EckhartPilgrim said: It depends of the monster. If you ever played any DQ, you would know all monster are not braindead. Basically, if they are humanoids (and/or have some kind o clothing), you can assume they have some lvl of consciousness/intelligence. Most monster you saw rampaging earlier are beast type, not undead.I don't understand. I thought monsters were mindless rampaging killing machines under the influence of Hadlar (like we saw it with Brass), and now in Hyunckel's backstory we see that they are pretty much like humans, being nice guys and having feelings and a free mind.

MAL scores can be misleading during the early parts of any series. Most of these low scores will be form people who were like "this is so childish" and dropped it after episode one or two. The real score can only be judged later on after the series conclusion where only the scores of those who watched considerable part of the series will count. |
| Lack of the bloods makes this new one looks weaker than the old one. Back when i watched the old series i was very impressed with the bloody battle between them, but i can not feel any hyped in this fight. |
 |
| What an episode. Hyunckel and his hatred toward Avan had a big impact of his desire to beat Dai, as another Avan's disciple. I am kinda pity to his past. But its also couldn't be denied. Avan just did his task. Everything was actually just a misunderstandment between those twos. Then, its getting worse by knewing the fact that his savior was the one of Hadlar's legion commander. Its making him more difficult to realized the situations behind the scene, like how Crocodine felt. Yes, that monster, such a nice twist. He, after getting beaten, realized that feeling, and decided to save Dai at the end. I really hope he could survived again with all of that injury. Because, currently, i am already grow a satisfaction over his character development .... So, the round two might be happened next. Lets see if Dai can surpass him at that time. And the real identity of that old man too. Was he related to the princess? Well, really looking forward to see the next episode! |

| Crocodine came out of nowhere lol. I don't know if I should feel sorry for Hyunckel. His backstory may be sad but I just don't understand his hatred. |
 |
| Eh... The Amudo transform sequence didn't look as impressive with all that shining. Traditional animation did justice. |
Leo said: Crocodine came out of nowhere lol. Teleportation spells and items acting as such (chimaera wing. Hadlar used one already) are a common thing in DQ lore. Expect lot of similar situations to happen. |
OmniKaiser said: Leo said: Crocodine came out of nowhere lol. Teleportation spells and items acting as such (chimaera wing. Hadlar used one already) are a common thing in DQ lore. Expect lot of similar situations to happen. This. But I remember still being in shock with Crocodine coming out of good will when I first watched this. |
| I wasn't expecting Crocodine to come in and make a save, but Dai took a major L in fighting Hyunckel. Hopefully Dai can learn how to slice the Air soon so he can do the true Avan Strash. |
 |
| Well battle between Dai and Hyunckel ends in Hyunckel's victory... Hyunckel backstory...not a happy one now is it? Crocodine with not much screen time this episode however his actions was one of a hero! Sacrificing his life so another can live...I salute you Crocodine... Good episode :) |
 |
| Another great episode.. Hyunckel shined with his abilities & back story. oh God, Crocodine's tears scene is one of my favorite in the series.. i love it specially in the 90's series. Hits me on many levels.. |
| Hyunkel's armor is still one of the most impressive i had see. It really give him an strong and menacing presence. Dai's rescue by Krokodine remains a great moment. He regained his pride after his defeat. Censorship remains low apart from the green blood which remains inconsistent with the original. |
| . |
| I’ve to be honest, this is the first episode that I don’t like (I think at least). Let’s see what will happen now. |
 |
it was interesting to know about Hyunckel's past. |
| Damn respect for Crocodine, rest in peace my man and hope your dream come true. |
 |
| Whoa a thoroughly enjoyable episode, while learning about hyunkals reasonable hatred and dais unwillingness to go all out. Well played. |
 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. |
| Wow what an Powerful Episode.... Hyunckel backstory was Tragic and Sad.. It's like the Character was made to be voice by Yuki Kaji... Really fit well. Oh my, I'm shocked didn't expect Crocodine to come and save Dai... You have my respect now!!! What an Interesting Character Development for him and it makes me want to see more, hopefully he didn't die from that.. The Story was getting better and better every episode and arc... Sadly people been sleeping on this... Dragon Quest Dai deserved more attention... HectorBlaze said: I’ve to be honest, this is the first episode that I don’t like (I think at least).

Honestly, I find it to be pretty boring and the thing with Crocodine was handled in a pretty shallow way. Moreover, the thing about Maam was forced from my point of view and well, I find it to be pretty stupid too. Let’s see how things turn now. |

During the last episode we see Krokodine in his regeneration jar and in this one he magically appears (without a bad pun). In the original there are about three episodes between these two moments. For Maam she hasn't much of a choice since Dai and Pop were beaten. Just a little plan showing she is actually scared of Hyunkel would have been nice. |

| Hyunckel is too OP wow! How will Dai and Popp be able to beat him now? |
 |
| i salute to Crocodinefor not letting Hyunckel deliver the final blow and saving Dai! 5/5. |
 |
| Another awesome episode. |
