Lol popp definitely needed that tough loving because Avann babied the hell out of him. I enjoyed this little training and set up episode. Looking forward to seeing Dai and co beat Flazzard’s ass and rescue Leona.

Heroes getting some much needed training after being manhandled by Flazzard. Popp especially having his own individual training with Matoriv. His development throughout the whole series thus far has been the most needed. We saw before with the Crocodine fight that Popp has courage now we see him realizing his skills aren't matching up to his heart. By the end of the episode thankfully he's learned that new zoom spell which will hopefully help everyone out in this next fight. Dai training with the blindfold to help learn anticipation of his opponents attacks. That will come in handy with one as strong as Flazzard even if his field is taken down. They've split to destroy these two spires but it doesn't look like things will go so smoothly.

This is the perfect training method for Popp. I like this old guy, he knows exactly how to level up Popp lol.

Time to save Leona, Dai go and save her.

Nah. I wish if they kept Matoriv super perversion like the old anime. It is fun to watch


But this new anime airs morning so it is not surprise that they won't show preverted stuff to children

I prefer them not to delete boob-grabbing scene, I see this movement in many anime adaptation where it removes sexual harrassment interaction, but that'd alter the original source.

Anyway, can't wait for Hyunckel!!!

So plan is to destroy the flame and ice spires with bombs in order to take down the Blizzblaze Curse Field. Meanwhile, Matoriv decides to train Popp by teaching him the Zoom spell while Dai and Maam do combat training. Unfortunately, time is running out for Leona as her life force is being drained by being imprisoned in ice and she dies the next day at sundown. The Heroes decided to carryout their plan at night and Dai's party would be the ones to destroy the spires. They manage to reach the island safely despite the boat crashing, but the Dark Army is planning an ambush on Dai's party.

People have to understand Animes are "adaptations" most of the time and thus have to "adapt" the original source to convey "2021/present messages" altering in the less harming way.
The world is evolving and the end of 80s/90s isn't 2020. Animes have the power to alter the original source without erasing the source itself. The manga is still available and the 91 anime as well (It's not like George Lucas trying to cancel his own movies replacing guns with Walkie-Talkie or anything).

Nowadays such behavior is sexual harassment, and it's a good thing to avoid showing it to kids, even if it's done in a comic way in the manga. Better safe than sorry.

I feel like people are taking it way too seriously. As if removing such a scene was an attack on the author's mind or something. But people have to chill. No one is disrespecting anyone. It's just to avoid the problems, and it won't affect the story anyway. People still got that Matoriv is a pervert (maybe not to the same degree though).

Matoriv unexpectedly such a surprising character, his reason was solid there. He was a grand sorcerer, and a former king adviser. Such a shame he was quirky af. Gladly, Dai succeeded to persuade him, in the name of Avan mementos. Well, at the end, as long as Matoriv helped the gang much, its enough to make him into a decent character. Lol at his tough love training session. Its really helped Popp progressed that nice teleport spell, tho. That's good.

Anyway, that plan actually very obvious, destroying that pillars. However, they didn't know such an ambush already awaits them at those island. A little arguments happened between Baran and Hadlar, make me curious to see their past relations. Still, at this state, its just a foreshadow for the next arc. So i must wait it a while until its getting reveal by itself. The next episode seems pretty hype, tho. Whose incoming? Lets see next!

No sex-harra from Matoriv and scenes with the fake heroes which aren't a big loose for a change. But Pop's training is also shorten and they skip the scene when he wants to face Matoriv because he disrespects Avan. These little passages always add something to the development of the characters, however.

Most important, in the next episodes things will get really serious. What happened so far was just the warm-up ^^.

I wouldn't mind seeing a longer training montage but it was enough to get me interested in popps progression.

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.

This, this, and this. It kinda bother me that people don't understand that. From what I got, even Japan has changed a lot about groping and sexual harrassment over the past years. I don't think it's great loss, you lose a few visual gags, but it changes nothing to the character. Heck they even kept the fact it's a pervert, which is still a lot better than Mutenroshi going over his perversion in dbs.
I may have problems with that kind of thing with something like City Hunter, where it is a recurring gag and a main features of the main character, but I'm not even sure. If they achieved to suggest it well enough, maybe I could roll with it.

Meh, I'm disappointed that they removed the groping scenes. It's part of the style of the series, not mere anime fanservice, so they shouldn't have done that

This series should have broadcasted to another hour. As if japanese children aren't already bombed with such things elsewhere
