Dai with that timely save. Those dinosaur monsters didn't look happy this episode.

It looks like Dai discovered something important beneath the surface. Got classic Dragon Quest vibes from this similar to the video games.

My boy has grown a lot. Out of many badass attacks in this series, Betan is one of the coolest imo xD

I see Complains about CG scenes incoming again...

Was a cool episode. they put the scene with Hyunckel earlier, surely in order to have more time for the next episode.

I can't wait, next episode will be fire ! (sorry : next episode will be mera !)

Such a good animation in Dai's fight. They intercalated CG and drawn frames in a very charming way.

What an episode. Sometimes great power drives fear in human beings. Not only that a Dragon Knight is something that reminds me too much of the classic games. I mean if you think about it. Heroes are really meant to be super strong after training and fighting for a while. Anyways. Dai finds another person that is like him. Things are about to get a little hectic now. Dang man.

We got both some action and lore this episode. Amazing action scene at the start with Dai facing those dragons. He went off!! His crest showing up again letting Dai unless those crazy strong attacks. Slinging the dragons around as if it was nothing. Delivering the final blow with that weapon we saw last episode the selfish guy took. Loved how the animation went to CG when Dai started zooming around the sky, this show has done that before in the big battles and it looks to be getting better each time. Dai looked crisp going after the dragons. Afterwards our heroes going to that kingdom, loosely used term apparently, to the North where Dai learning some information about what being a dragon knight means. It makes me sad seeing Dai get worked up over the reactions he got from those ungrateful people in the city he just saved. Pushing away both Popp and Leona who still very much care about him. Baran showing up really shakes things up, looks like he wants Dai to join the dark army.

The English name of the spell was almost enough to ruin the coolness of the scene though. I just about died when I saw the "Doink!" XD

Damn what an episode. I think this situation is great for Dai’s development. Up until now he has had a naive view of the world. Doing good things and then being feared for it will teach him that the world isn’t black and white.

I’m really curious about Baran and Dai’s connection though. How can there be two dragon knights at once? Even the crystal was confused. Could be some inter dimensional type stuff going on, looking forward to finding out more.

As I said many times before, Dai's english spells' names were insults to all manga fans lol.

Dai vs dragon fight was great, he fought like a brave warrior. Thou it's dumb to feel this insecure over some humans treating him like a scary monster. It's as if Dai forgot every other people who treated him so well till now. I dun like this development, this was meh.

Nah they treated him well because he was a "human" like them, same race back then (he thought so). But this time he's just realized he's not a human. It's understandable for him to feel insecure after receiving bad reactions from those coward, filthy ningen. He's still a boy (a 12 years old kid) XD.

I understand Dai reaction well.

He doesn't know who he is. he has been raised by monsters all his life. it's only about 2 weeks or so since he encountered humans who look like him.
Don't forget that he has been deceived by false heroes in first episode.
It's normal he has doubt about humans (in this episode almost all the humans were selfish / coward etc.)

He believed he was from human tribe and killvearn told him he's a monster.
All of this changed his point of view.

the most important concern is Leona an Popp. Dai is scared to be rejected by his love/friend.
we had a moving moment with Popp crying about Dai lack of trust to him.


Dai is very smart, he's only 12 years old and he already knows that differences can lead to reject (maybe because he's the most human character of this show with Crocodine of course !)

Should have put some good boss battle music for Baran entrance. Next week ep will be fire!

Baran is probably my 2nd fav character after Hyunckel

If you're having crippling depression, hopefully our videos will send you to another world and have you reborn as an isekai protagonist

Dai's fight against was really good, too bad that the villagers were afraid of him but the most interesting part is definitely the explanations about his origins and the Dragon Knight thing, even though the crystal in the temple didn't really explain it in details because of Baran at the end, I expect him to explain it to Dai anyway in the next episode, I can't wait

I didn't mind the cg before but they overused it in this fight, it wasn't good in my opinion. The second half of this episode was pretty good though. It's nice to see 2 Dragon Warriors together.

At first I thought Baran is Dai's father, but it'd be too easy.

How about Baran is adult Dai from the future who come to the past.

Only 2 episodes more and then we will see new material that was never adapted in original anime. We already have the title of episode 26

I can't wait !!!!


I hope they don't use CG. Don't like it. I don't have problem if they use it for normal enemies, but for major fights I hope they avoid using CG

i do not mind if the whole anime is 3DCG if it looks great like that

awesome action in this episode

Dragon Knights are feared by humans because well they are not human and got scary power

Dragon Knights are created by the 3 Gods (Dragon God, Demon God and Human God)

its impossible to have 2 Dragon Knights in a generation eh so that means Baran and Dai are father and son

This might be the best episode so far in my opinion.
The fight in the first half was epic as fuck. Showed really well how terrifying and strong Dai actually is. I am sad people are afraid of him.
The second half had really interesting plot developments. I didn't expect for show to dive into Dai's origins this soon but I am all for it. The stuff set up for future episode looks amazing too. The preview for the next week is already hype.

These are still the weakest parts of this Destiny Arc. After the turning point, the epicness is unbelievable, the emotion is outstanding, the development is insane!!! I also hope they will not use CGIs any more. Yeah they save a lot of money for Toei and CGIs in this remake are not bad but I still don't like them at all, they feel cheap for me bruh. Always feel sad for Dai, damn those FILTHY NINGEN!!!

We got some pretty noice eye candy from Dai this episode.
I have been waiting for some awesome Dai ultra instinct.

But I hope Dai gets his act together, because he is losing it a bit. Hopefully Popp and Leona will help him out, either that or maybe he will find his answer in the upcoming fight
And from the looks of it, it's going to be intense! ^^

Well, once again, the dragon crest saved the day! I see that Dai got a human, even a kid, rejection at those peaceful country. But, man, it must be so hurt, for the first time someone feared, and rejected him so hard. So, Killvearn purposes has been accomplished, then. Even Dai really got lured in to searching more into his true identity as the dragon knight through the dragon temple. As the result, the first met between Baran, the dragon master, and Dai, the tiny hero, was undeniable.

Really looking forward to listen about whats truth Baran wanna tell to Dai. Lets see next!

So Dai faces of against the Dragons after saving Merle. He finds out that a sword is not enough to beat the them as his sword cracks against the Dragon's tough skin. Dai was struggling against the Dragons until he unleashed the power of the Dragon's Crest to become The Dragon Knight. He used his godly powers to beat the dragons easily and used a special weapon to kill the four headed dragon. However, despite his best efforts the people began to fear Dai as a monster even though he saved them. Turns out that the reaper Killvearn sent the Dragons to Bengarna and to plant seeds of doubt in Dai by telling him that he is a monster.

Nabara and Merle led Dai's party to Teran a town that worships the Dragon God and is also home to the temple of the Dragon Knights where the secrets of the Dai's origin can be revealed. Before he can find that out, Baran also appeared in the temple in an attempt to lure Dai to his side to destroy the humans.

The CGI was bad. But the action against the dragon was still good overall.

They have cut the lighting showing Dai face.

I don't really get the hate for the cgi, it looks really good in this show, better than most video game cutscenes even (and especially anime in general). I feel like people have some bias over it since cgi in anime wasn't always the best to say the least, but in this case I really liked it with dai parkouring over the hydra's necks shown all in one cut, it felt very smooth.

Next episode though looks hype, things are slowly building up

That was a great episode. Story is finally starting to clear up and the action was mostly awesome.

But yes, the CGI segment felt completely out of place considering that it lasted only less than a minute and the fight continued after it so what's the point?

The CG was not bad even though you can clearly see the difference, it really look like straight up from the Video Games.
Personally not a big fan of it, but i let it slide cause only a few seconds.

So i can assume from the Crystal Confusion, there supposed to be only One Dragon Knight at a time right?
Things getting more interesting...
Can't wait to get more information about Baran.
