Yikes, Dariel ran into trouble with another hero, one with a reptuation too. Their fight definitely highlights a contrast between them.

Meanwhile, it's kinda neat we got to know more about Dariel himself and his own origins.

A revelation that wasn't that much of a surprise after the previous episode but  it's nice to have an answer.
The question now is weather the two dads will be able to set their differences aside since the hate seems to run very deep.
I also wonder how this all will effect Dariel and his surroundings seeing all the friends he made.

The strongest former Hero Alantsil has appeared on Dariel's doors, and for Zebiantes to show herself would be a mistake, but he sure didn't expect to receive a warm welcome from everyone treating him like an idol.

As shrewd as he comes, Alantsil still has got his skills laid down for a sparring session against Laidy, which she has improved thanks to Dariel, which he requests his presence to spar against him. But it's too scary, and he suggests an intermission to have lunch instead, prepared by Malika. Even with lunch, he can't hide the fact of Zebiantes being instinctly targeted by Alantsil within a split second, and is forced to defend her against the previous Hero.

With the powers that Dariel possess, he could've easily been the Hero, but being a demon's servant first and foremost, he can't abide by Alantsil's request. And if he loses more people regardless of race or status, it would be a disservice to his past to see people be hurt and lose their lives. Granbarza requesting to the Demon Lord for his son Bashbarza to be relinquished of his duty, it's more of a personal matter to save the person that changed his life: Dariel, once the abandoned orphan and taken in from Bezetan the General of Water and transferred to Granbarza as like a son.

But the reveal that Dariel is Alantsil's legitimate son, Dariel can only go 1 or 2 ways: back to the Hero, or the Demon Lord's Army.

2 fathers vying for a son, how to settle this complicated feud?

Interesting.

So Bezetan already had a plan that Dariel is their strongest weapon against demon and he specifically want Gran to take care of the baby.

Either Bezetan want Dariel to bring peace to both races using father's bond or he want Gran to raise a copy Alantsil.

Finally it's revealed that Dariel is Alantsil's son which was quite obvious with the hints. Now standing before Dariel is his biological father Alantsil who he finally reunited with and also Granbarza, the guy who is a father figure to him and raised him like his son. Who's side will he take or can he convince them to not fight. This reminds me of Corrin's situation from FE Fates, really similar.

Wow what a reunion indeed. So Granbarza raised Dariel but Alantsil is his biological father, what a conundrum. To add to this, Alantsil's wife was killed by a demon, Bezetan, but he ended up dying too.

Looks like Alantsil and Granbarza will get into a fight in the next episode, maybe that will help cool down tensions. Lastly, I realized that Dariel named his son after Granbarza (Gran) so that may implicate things further with Alantsil.

Well, what an episode and what a cliffhanger!
At first I thought the series was going to be how he get closer to marika and such but that got taken care of rather quickly, and looking back on to it it's now clear the series was building up towards the end of this episode : the mystery on Dariel's origins fully answered, and the apparent "choice" he has to make between his adoptive father and biological father, or rather between humanity and demons.
We all know he'll find a way to protect/love both sides, but still what a cliffhanger!

That was a treat of an episode for me, the best so far in the series : lots of good drama, action and humor.

Yep called last week that Dariel would be the hero’s son. Was way too obvious lol. Kind of a flat reveal but meh. No more running from things anymore. Everything is all in the open now, both dariel dads, his past, present and future all together. Can’t wait to see how these last few episodes play out. Still gotta see the other general who has a crush on him too

It's refreshing that the hero put together that Dariel was his missing son almost immediately, instead of dragging it out like most anime characters do.

Clearly we're getting a battle of the dads next episode, and most likely it's going to be a draw until both are soundly defeated (or mutually call it off, at least) once Malika and Gran show up. They were quite conspicuously absent so far.

I wonder what Dariel would see if he looked at the demon king. Did they ever formally meet before? I would have thought it would be likely, given his advisory position, but somehow it seems like that wasn't the case.

We now know more about Dariel's backstory and how Granverza stumbled upon him.

Also Zeb really was just vibing and using her magic backfired on her instantly. She almost died trying to get a cloth. But Dariel is here to save her and the fight between him and Arantzil the former hero really shows how strong the later is.

Welp a major development with Dariel being the legitimate son of the former hero. Son of the strongest hero in history but raised by the strongest of the 4 demon kings. I really do hope that they can somehow get along but a fight between the 2 fathers seem imminent.

It's really weird that they didn't have Marika around this episode at all. What an intense episode, for the first time we have someone stronger than Daniel and make him look pretty weak by comparison. This is getting pretty heavy too, the demon king seems to be playing at something, interesting he knew exactly what was going on with Dariel.

It's not surprising that Dariel is the son of the former Hero. There is no avoiding damaging the town with the former Hero and former Demon General about to fight.

This was a pretty satisfying episode! Alinzar and Granbarza settled their difference all thanks to Malika stepping in. Nothing brings two middle aged guys together like the thought of being a grandfather. Bashaverza is really ticked of being compared to Dariel, it's clear that dragon is him. His dad did call Dariel his pride and joy and treasure. All I can say for Basha is... he's gonna get it!!! Now the question is from who? Dariel? His father? Alinzal? Malika cuz of her super strength and undying love for Dariel?🤔

Ngl I like the concept of the demonlord's appearance depending on one's mirror reflection. Also good on the demonlord for pointing out Granverza's favouritism in his son's treatment.

I really like that, despite Dariel's strength, the show is confident enough in itself that they're not afraid to have the MC not be the strongest character. Both Alanstil and Granverza are clearly stronger than he is. This means he can't just force his way out of the situation.

CGI dragon magic is as glaring as ever. Otherwise solid production surrounding it.
