Oh man, Popp's reaction this episode was comedy gold.

Hyunckel's armor is super badass, including the transformation itself. However, the fight was painful to watch especially when he got stabbed through that armor. A hell of a comeback attack though.

Most edge of your seat episode yet! Hyunckel pulling out all the stops against the dark commander himself Hadlar. Soon as it was teased at end of last episode I've been anticipating a slugfest to the finish and that's exactly what we got! Twists and turns the whole fight with neither gaining anything until Hadlar fools Hyunckel with his multiple hearts. Hyunckel getting blown to smithereens inside his own armor. Hyunckel digging deep to remember that attack Avan showed him in case he loses his sword. A very risky move using his aura to near nothing. Hadlar mentioning both Avan and Bartos making Hyunckel spring back to life. Insane puncture by Hyunckel as Hadlar was winding up his death blow. Crocodine knocking down the fire spire letting Dai have his full strength. The heroes charge right towards Flazzard.

This episode was such a crazy good one. Toei is really outdoing themselves on this series. Really loving it. The fight with Hyunckel and Hadlar was really nice. Both voice actors really outdid themselves. Not to mention Crocodine really did a good job too. Looking forward to the next episode.

Hyunckel vs. Hadlar is my dream match. I want both of them on my bed! I hope no one died, even if it's Hadlar, I'm against capital punishment. Not counting that Hadlar has such a nice muscle (Hyunckel has a little bit of shirtless moment here).

I cant be the only one that got a MASSIVE special beam cannon vibe when Hyunckel used bloody scryde on Hadlar right??

Surely that special beam canon type attack on Hadlar given his appearance was an Easter egg yea?

Great episode. Toei snapped as usual. I’m glad my boy Hyunckel got some shine this episode. Given what happened to his father it was only right that he’d have a showdown with Hadlar. I still don’t think he’s dead tho. I think that’ll be Dai’s job to take him out.

Can’t wait for next week

So Crocodine saved Hyunckel when he was about to die, that's great, and Hyunckel fight against Hadlar was totally epic, he managed to beat him at the end.

In the end, the two are the one who undo the seal (broke both towers).

KajiKaji's character's enemy is strong. He got off guarded w. having two hearts. He remembered about his teacher's teaching and used his life to stop his enemies. Wow @ he had last conscious because his teacher and father were mentioned.

To quote Hajime Saito from Kenshin "Lowering your guard against an opponent you think you have beaten is a mistake that can cost you your life". He is lucky to be "immortal".
No censorship when Hadler pierces Hyunkel for once. The cross shape of the Grand Cross on the ground is impossible, it should have formed a crevasse. Nothing bad but this fight already shows Hyunkel's superiority over Avan.

I just wanna say how great Crocodine role here. Mercy shall repay, the man must fights through the hate to showed how much you atoning for your sins were. The justification has been made, and ofc Hyunckel should give a nice fights toward Hadlar. And yep, that's quite a balance fight between them. Hyunckel used everything he got, even his life forces, and last determination through an unconcious state. Truly madlad. While Hadlar always depended on his tricky and lucky moves. In the end, Hadlar lost, and idk if both of them will be 'alive' again next time.

The next episode look good. Another fight. Lets go!

Emotionally this was as close as it got to Final Atonement in a battle sequence. Alas, nothing surpasses that experience yet, even if this was close given all the epic story. I do get to enjoy some Popp being total simp, he's going to have to seriously step it up to chad level if we wants to attract Maam's attention.

God i love this series..
- Hyunckel stole this episode with Bloody scryde, Grand cross & The final stab.
- Hadlar is a sneaky bastard he took Bloody scryde full on to get through Hyunckel's armor.
- Crocodine destroyed the tower with ease & he's the one who saved Hyunckel.
- I LOVE MAAM unlike any -nowadays- female characters.
- My man popp :'(

oh god! this might be the best episode i've seen on this show...but if not the best, then it might be one of the top episode they can offer! damn!
I never thought we'd see Grand Cross this early!
Hyunkel finally delivered a fatal blow to Hadlar but Mystvern suddenly appeared and that's bad news but y'know...anything can happen!
5/5!

oh look at that! i think Hyunkel is the first man that Maam hugged in her own freewill...let's ship them!

Funny you bring up Hajime Saito cuz Bloody Scryed is just like Gatotsu, Hajime's signature move. Not sure if DQ came out first or Kenshin and whether it was inspired or simply a popular stance that Japanese authors love to use...

What's on Madness of an episode. I really loved the fight between hyunckel and handler. Really showed the character development of hyunckel especially from what we were originally given with. Dai and maam faced a tough choice with wanting to save leona or stay back and check on hyunckel but I think they chose the right one.

What I like most about this remake is the pacing. The pacing of episodes is so well done, neither rushed nor slow. The plot is progressing fast enough and in an engaging way. It's not without its flaws, but they landed this aspect absolutely right.

i want someone to explain to me this point ، hyunckel is a warrior and he can't use spells
just wondering , are Dark Puppetry Aura Hand and grand cross considered magic ?

in Ep13 hyunckel said that No human can use magic (spells) and sword in the same time , but why dai and avan can both use magic and sword ??

Amazing battle between Hyunckel and Hadlar. Was on edge of my seat. Epic stuff. Popp, you have a strong rival lol but I will cheer for you haha.

It looks like Hyunckel sacrificed himself in order to stop Hadlar but Mystvearn's sudden appearance before him in the end seems to imply he will save him in some way. Really doubt this is an end for Hyunckel. I really wish to see more of him. He is so badass.

I will just answer you without spoiling

Dark Puppetry Aura Hand and grand cross are not magic. Those are aura (life force) attacks

Avan can't use magic sword abilities (like Dai putting flames on his sword). Avan slash attacks are just sword abilities (not magic sword), he can't combine sword and magic

hyunckel was probably surprised to see a "human" use it for 1st time cause he never saw someone combining sword with magic
