Damn, the despair of this episode...

However, seeing Hyunckel stare at Baran with fierce determination is an amazing sight. I also kinda like the overall psychology of this episode between them. Quite well executed imo.

A great episode, very good start of the climax. A tiny bit change from manga: Baran didn't use Dragon Crest when he faced Hyunckel in manga. The problem is the new opening: It's very good, but bruh... as usual, spoilers are too damn much, too damn heavy (Toei's habit lmao). Maybe because I'm a manga reader so I find it heavy spoilers but I still think anime-only should avoid watching it: Listen to music but don't watch the visuals lol. The new ending is also good (There are also some spoilers but you can't realise unless you are manga readers so it's acceptable)

This episode was pretty good. As much I love the opening very much. I wish they can at least change things up. They literally had to give too much away I believe when it comes to the fights now. Though I love opening too much, and can't stop listening to it. Anyways Hadlar seems to be on borrowed time now even his form is really killing him. Makes me wonder if the mighty form has some flaws after all. The scenes with Crocodine, Baran and Hyunckel is good. Hyunckel understand why Baran wants to go alone, and become a sacrifice. But Hyunckel says otherwise, and goes into a stance where he can make an counter attack. However, Albinass the queen piece is very smart to make the attack. When it comes to war alone here and there. You need to eliminate all threatening obstacles even if it is dishonorable. War is all fair as they say. Baran being saved by Hyunckel asked what to do next, asking that to Crocodine. Crocodine suggest he honor what Hyunckel. Now Baran shows up willing to assisting Dai, but I wonder how that will go. After all two Dragon Knights will make a powerful force.

First thing I have to say the new opening is amazing. I loved it and went back after the episode was over to look at all the Easter eggs. Can tell there's many awesome moments ahead in the story with some of the battles being teased. Lots of cool imagery in this new opening. The new ending was very tranquil and kinda sad, a more melancholic, soft tone than the previous. Baran being back like we saw at the end of last episode has thrown a wrench into things. He's different but still the same stubborn dragon knight. Wanting to kill Dark King Vearn along with the humans. Chiu information about where the entrance into Vearn castle is now in Baran hands as well which of course he is wanting to test that gate. I really hope Hyunckel can still fight later on. I've made it no secret he's my favorite character in the show and it would hurt to see him benched at only the halfway mark. But I'm sure he will come back to fighting soon. Dai and Baran teaming up to try this underwater gate should have plenty of awkward tension since they tried to kill each other last time.

Seeing Crocodine shed tears for Hyunkel like that really shows how far he’s come as a character like remember when he was a freaking bad guy lol. The new opening was great it’s just about been a year since this journey began and I think this has been the longest anime I’ve watched weekly, can’t wait to see the farther son duo in action next week!

Was a really good damn episode. They really put an effort in animation and sceenplay on an episode we didn't expect that (comparing to 49 with ugly cgi)

I liked the new opening images. i think it really spoil some duels and so more things but only a manga reader could undertand the easter eggs.

The ending was ok, not memorable.

About the music, it's sounds like an eurovision song. IMO, it doesn't suit the images shown.
BUT they put a really good effort on the words of the opening song and ending song if you read them carefully.

The new OP is kinda similar to Black Clover's Everlasting Shine, which is performed by South Korean boyband.

The New ED is similar to the previous one, but I love its peaceful atmosphere.

We also get a more energetic Eye Catch music.

I think Hyunckel is falling in love with Larhalt.

And as long as he's not dead, he'll find a way to fight again. It happens in every anime. And from the preview it look like it might be as soon as next week LOL.

But this is the Baran's Heel–Face Turn episode, and I agree with Crocodine that I want Baran to be by my side, but by my side I mean my side of the bed.

Nice, new oped already. Lot of intrigue arrive in the visual of the op, especially with that flying thing. For real? Well, i never read the source, so let my question hang in just like that. But, considering its already include Dai versus Vearn, not Hadlar, idk why but i already feel bad for the Lord Hadlar, especially with this episode 'hint' of his strain. Well, i am still hoping the good battle for him in the future. So yeah, the visual of the op hyping me much to watch this until the end, ngl.

About the episode, Baran was still stubborn af with his anger against human. Poor the innocent Crocodine get punched like that. Its funny. But Hyunckel did his job quite well enough to force him cancel his hasty move advancing the enemy place, alone.

Daddy, i know you're strong af, but don't sacrifice your shit easily like that! Then, i can get to see the duet between son and his father, in a good term, next. So, can't wait for the next week.

Finally new opening song


When I read the manga, I always wondered why Baran did not just hit Hyunckel with Zap spell.... Hyunckel new skill is only dangerous if you physically hit him, but if he hit Hyunckel with zap spell from distance, then thereis noting Hyunckel can do.... and we know that Larhalt Armor is not immune to zap spell

Pretty good new opening and ending, I especially like the ending for its visuals, anyway that episode was great with Baran's tense situation and Hyunckel heavily wounded, the next one seems to be even tenser

Great episode.
I have a question, can Albinass control the power level of her
Needle thousands? Because when she used it against Nova
It didn't have the same drastic and destructive effects. Clearly
It's more powerful here. ( Also it didn't do much to Nova )

As an anime-only, I thought the opening was unusually spoiler-free especially for a Toei Animation show tbh. Of course, there are things only manga readers will understand but without context, it just looks like some random fighting scenes. No reason to skip it IMO.

For a manga story written in the 90s this is such a good nekketsu,the cast is so far from the stereotypical ones

It all feels very fresh to a point that it seems like it was written recently but NO this is supposed to be a classic,mindblowing


New ops/eds are great,especially the op that reminds me a bit of Black Clovers openings

LOVE the new OP.

Pretty annoyed with Baran today tho. Fucking up Hyunckel’s life and future like that for what? To prove that you hate humans and that you can’t trust him? It’s so stupid. Vearn is plotting to destroy the world and you’re fighting a relative small fry in Hyunckel and leaving him handicapped.

Yeah, don't forget the second ending
Both endings 2 et 3 tells something very metaphoric on what will happen next in the show.

This episode was really good until it finally changed the opening, the song wasn't bad, the old one just tired even the same happenings of the opening, and this new one is good.

the new OP and ED are very good

so in the OP we see Maam will get a gauntlet and Mystvearn will fight Lon Berk huh

and nah they showed in the OP that Hyunckel will fight Hym so he will be alright

the OP shows that Baran might die too huh and Dai will have 2 Dragon Crest so the other crest is from Baran

Hyped new OP and ED, i purposely do not look into the OP and ED i know it will spoil me a lot..

i'm honestly not a fan of Hyunckel reveal his technique to Baran before it happens, it feels weird idk. (It's not like it makes the technique stronger or anything)

Avan vs Hadlar scene was Amazing, oh boy the Sakuga...
that was impressive TOEI.

lmao anyone noticed that one weird camera angle when Leona was talking to Dai?
the Camera Focus lol

One of best episode for me. Hyunckel made the right decision at the end. That hollow stance to a Bloody Scryde is a crazy technique but it wasn't a avian strash though. Baran's wrath continues. Crondine in tears confessing how hyunckel is a great person and friend, felt like we were really losing hyunckel and shows how much crocodine has changed. Baran was even in awe by the whole situation that he made a oath/promise to work with dai to defeat king vearn and Hadlar.
