Dai's chance to fight against Baran in that monstrous form.

Hell of a fight this episode and it goes to show just how powerful Baran is again. Gotta give credit to Dai for showing everything he's got. What a cilffhanger!

The begins of a brutal fight between father and son. We've gotten a few of those lately. Dai vs Baran was bound to happen but I didn't know it would get this crazy. Baran is pulling out all the stops against his own son, being provoked enough to that level. Their fight looked great mixing the CG and standard animation. This show has done the CG cuts of a big fight before always looking good. Dai and Baran chasing each other around the sky fits it well making the action smooth. The moment in that scene where it gets super detailed when Dai goes straight at Baran knocking him into the rocks and Baran then flipped it back. That looked great so like vibrant. Crocodine coming in clutch as usual grabbing Baran so Dai could recover. Dai almost had him, I thought the Avan strash would land but no. Leona needs to revive Popp to get Dai some help.

damn the first battle sakuga scenes are done by the ace key animator of Toei that is Naotoshi Shida eh

and the rest of the episode is animated great too with some nice 3DCG battle scenes too

Doruora is like a kamehameha but Dai withstand it with Dragonic Aura alone

and looks like Popp will comeback from the dead in the next episode

Dai v Baran didn’t disappoint at all holy shit what a fight. Toei have really done a great job picking and choosing when to snap on these episodes and today’s episode def warranted it. Really got goosebumps when Dai took Baran’s Duorora straight on. Can not wait until next week.

It's funny how this was a mediocre to decent anime up until some episodes ago and then the guys at Toei just went and said "You know what? Let's give Jujutsu Kaisen a run for its money." Another week another amazing episode, it reminded of the time I used watch Dragon Ball as kid (I wasn't alive when the original DQ aired), and I was just as hyped watching this episode as I used to be when I was a kid watching Dragon Ball Z

This episode is just amazing. I get a goosebump even though I haven't pay attention to watching it. Can we agree that this new composer is better than the old one?

Anyway, Baran is a sexy killing beast. I still want to see his bare chest in human form. Sure, I can take on his dragonoid form, but I prefer a more natural body.

no it was said by anime insiders that 3DCG cost more than 2D animation but the reason the anime industry uses a lot of 3DCG this days is because it speeds up production process since there will be no more in-betweening animators to pay, there is no more colorist to pay too and etc so the it skips a lot of anime production process but 3DCG animators are paid big thats the main reason 3D animation is expensive

in the case of this show i guess the use of 3DCG is to take advantage of its easy camera movements direction since this show usually do 3DCG scenes on action scenes that have plenty of camera movements

That was a really good episode. I loved the animation except the scene where they used cg castle but that wasn’t bad either. Popp most likely will come back to life.

Wow that 3g fights, like watching a cut-scene from the video game. Good enough. Baran straight being the monster. That laugh really satisfying to heard. However, the next episode literally said the fate of him. Lol, pity him. Thank you very much. Crocodine just damn tough, can't be death easily, even with all that injury. I wonder what kind of plan Hyunckel have at those critical situation. Shall he lend his sword? I forgot if Hyunckel even still have the sword, though. So, yeah, lets see next!

Guess that's what Toei meant when talking about the new and incoming animation style One Piece will get in a couple of months

This mix of 3d/2d is really pleasant to the eyes,looks like Dragon Ball FighterZ but is it enough to replace 2d animation in key moments that i don't know...

Pretty good episode but I expected more to be honest
"the greatest battle in the world" from the preview was so cheap and exaggerated.
and then we have things like "the best arc of all time" which get repeated so many times that it loses any meaning eventually.

I probably just need to ignore sentences like these and keep my expectations in check then I'm sure it's gonna be an enjoyable ride.

my favorite scene in the episode:
https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/153871

Is it just me or did Baran become so annoying and cringy since his transformation?

Regarding Popp's resurrection, it was obvious there was no way they would get rid of Popp that early. I still think it was a great scene and as long as they don't overuse this resurrection spell to the point it becomes a joke like Dragon Ball, then I don't mind it.

People are always hyping too much, but in other hand, this anime is so underated that i understand them a bit. They cheer people to watch it. But they create sometimes too much expectations

About resurection spell, don't worry it will be ok

After watching the first episode when the series premiered, I did some research and found out it was going to be a full readaptation of a long running old manga. Because I'm impatient, I decided to just read it all. Fast forward to today's episode and I knew this was going to be one of the highlights of the new show and I"m glad they did it justice. Plus, the fight isn't even done yet.

What Toei is doing with this show is similar to what famous past reboots like FMA:Brotherhood and HxH 2011 did and I'm glad that they seem to be aiming to join that pantheon because this show so far has been fucking amazing.

It's a battle between a God and Demi-God with Baran and Dai. Toei snapped on this episode and I didn't mind the 3D CGI scenes since it had a video game feel to it.

It's the symbol they use in churches since DQ IX. VIII looked more like a trident. Anyway, they've gone away from the cross they used in early games for a while now.

You should take into consideration that the small amount of cg scenes help give the rest of the show its amazing animation, art, pacing, etc. The fact that it isn't Berserk 3d or rushed like AOT should be something to appreciate.

Plus those crazy camera angles during the fight scene gives some new depth in animation that can't be done normally in 2d, gives the show a lot more variety compared to others, but that's just me

My only complain is that part where both Dai and Baran start screaming. I though I got the wrong series and started watching DBZ. Everything else was epic, even the 3D animation was decent.

about popp

people really need to understand that this anime is based on RPG games
and 90% of RPG games have resurrection spell , In particular , dragon quest and final fantasy series
the most famous spell to bring back the dead to life is (phoenix down)
so no need to hate this scenario guys

besides , leona is basaically a white mage in this show and she has amazing abilities to heal party members
