Damn, Baran is a scary guy when he gets serious. No joke.

That dragon monster transformation is also pretty crazy. No wonder everyone is shocked at what they've seen. The real battle is about to begin :o

I loved this episode.

It was a great idea to add some images of Larhalt's past.

Fuck the ones who don't like the new soundtracks. It fits perfectly with all those scenes !

Hyunckel new armour transformation was great !

Great rendition of Crocodine's heart !!! I had tears at this moment !!! i loved this frame where he gripped Leona to protect her (it's not in the manga)

Baran's Transformation was so badass. A True nightmare !!!

However i didn't like Saboera and Hadlar's apparition(s) it was too much the second time.
And Poppu and Hyunckel having manly tears about Larhalt's backstory was too much too.

I want to be on next episode.It will be crazy. 30 years i'm awaiting for it !

Beautiful episode with amazing soundtrack.

I get what I want, Baran shirtless!!!! His ultimate form is hot, but I also want to see his human shirtless form longer than just a few second, this is not enough to sate my thirst!

This episode was great. Larhart even has standards that he even kills Borahorn for it. Then he reveals why he went into rage towards humanity. After seeing such compassion and care from Hyunckel and Popp, he gives Hyunckel his Dark Spear armor and asks him to save Baran. Crocodine and Leona get ready to face Baran. After hearing what has happened to Popp, Crocodine decides to play the role of draining Baran's energy so he cannot fight anymore. Then we get to see Hyunckel and Popp show up and try to reason with Baran. But I guess with too much anger and rage Baran falls on deaf ears and goes into Dragonoid form. Man I guess Baran really made his choice. If he meets a tragic end that will be sad.

Probably the best episode in the series so far. Really loved the soundtrack during Larhart's flashback scene and Baran's transformation sequence was really good. Reminded me of the good old dragon ball villain transformations hype.

The only thing that I didn't like is the colors choices for Baran's transformed form. Don't know if it's Toei's choice or the official manga colors.

The colors of Ryuumajin Baran are official from the author: Riku Sanjo. He never gave the colors of it until now. The manga had no info about its colors, even in databook iirc XD. All previous colors on internet was fanmade

A big wind up for what's to come next. Baran is going to extraordinary lengths to secure Dai so they can then rampage the earth. The last fight against Crocodine for Baran, using his ultimate move multiple times getting no major results. Crocodine just eating those attacks only getting scratches. Baran was doing damage but not nearly as much as gigabreak should've done. Pretty awesome that Hyunckel gets the spear armor. Now that his sword armor has shattered its nice to see he's got this new one. An armor that doesn't feed off his hate as the previous one did. The last ditch effort to reason with Baran before he continues on this path any further proved to be ineffective. Hyunckel trying to show Baran that there's still hope in humans. Baran transforming into this final form to set up a major battle next episode.

Ah, so Ishida-san's character is also half. and He entrusted his armor to KajiKaji's character (like OP mentioned).

Now they know the real intention to friend guy.

The two came back in time and KajiKaji's character tried to save him, but he decided to throw away being human. Ryuumajin...

How did main guy's eyes turn back to normal, according to the preview?

Welp I guess @phantomfandom finally got his wish granted to see Baran naked chest, what a sight to behold eh?

I always picture his dragon form to be green skin and it'd have been better than red, I love red but it doesn't really suit his dragon form lol I was right when I said that they saved the budget from last ep to focus on this one, especially Baran's transformation

My wish was only partially granted, I still want to see his chest as human, not Dragonoid. (And we all know that my end goal is naked!, not just shirtless LOL)

Talking about Dragonoid's color, I get that it has to be red otherwise it'd look similar to Hadler's green. I appreciate green too, after all I also love Hadler's muscle. But if Dragonoid is green too then the distinct between these two designs will be smaller.

Krokodine and Leona realizing Popp's true intentions remains an excellent scene. The plan "my life against your strength" is still badass.
In the manga Raiden directly attacks Leona without Baran aiming at her which suggests that it was automatic. Here it is definitely intentional on his part.
The final transformation was truly impressive. I've always seen the supa ryujin green in color but if the red it makes it look even more aggressive and threatening.

Damn, love Hyunckel’s new armour. Really good and emotional episode. Baran and Hyunckel’s convo gave me goosebumps. Baran is really doing all this to avoid the pain of his wife’s death. But this won’t make him feel any better in the end.

god this show is getting better and as many have said, the greatness is just starting and the rest would be greater!
Nice Hyunckel was saved by Larthat! and a bit of power-up to him as well because of the spear offer.
Damn! Crocodine is a huge TANK!!!
ultimate form of Baran is a fusion hybrid of a Drahon, Darkling and Human! DAMN!!!
5/5.

All I ask for is Baran to now unleash some mega move and Dai to teleport in and hold up a finger and absorb it all, then give a few quick slaps to his dad to bring him back around. Now that would be some epic level tv showing. Alas although Dai seems on the move im not sure he has fully awakened yet.

Well this arc is just a turning point of this series (I've been talking about this all this time, from the beginning of anime but many fans still dropped the show after watching some first eps, they found it kiddy-childish... lol), the best saga of all time is still coming...
And the colors of Ryuumajin make sense to me because

I have a question regarding Fullheal Spell.

During this episode, Leona used Fullheal on Crocodine and said " I can't heal both your stamina and wound at the same time.." What does that mean ?
Shouldn't Fullheal be a healing spell for HP ? Does that mean she can choose to treat stamina, wound or both ?

And then Crocodine said he can fight as long as she treats his stamina.
What was the point in restoring his stamina there anyway if he was dying from his wounds ?

The same thing happened before when Baran hit Dai with his Gigabreak, Leona ended
up healing Dai's stamina only , but he seemed to be recovered from his wounds as well.

This has always been mysterious to me too.
Even in the manga she says that.
Maybe a dragonquest player has an answer about that.


Here's my theory :

- Behoma (full heal) is restoring all the HP of the target but not his SP (stamina point)

i think Crocodine uses his SP to focus on defense in order to be able to survive Baran's hits.

I think Leona meant :" I can restore your HP to full (until she's out of mp) BUT i can't restore your SP (when you'll be out of SP it will hurt)"

I'm surprised that no one has asked why Baran didn't transform into ryuumajin while he was fighting
the legendary dragon ( velzar King of the Abyss)

i'm not sure if baran and velzar are on the same level

but all i know that velzar is one of the strongest creature in this anime
and he almost beat dragon knight ( almost killed him )

so it's really weird that baran didn't transform into his ultimate form against him

i believe the author made a huge mistake here ,
or most likely he forgot about it ... !

In the manga, the fight vs velzar is just one picture. Maybe he has transformed and it hasn't been shown. It is what i want to believe.
