Great episode! It would be sweet to see the bad guys win for once, as this seems absolutely unwinnable at this point, but knowing Toei, an asspull of global proportions is going to save the day

4/5, Vearn has been an awesome antagonist

Good episode but they spend too much time talking this arc, it was a bit annoying before, but it is soooo much more noticeable now.

Omg, I was hyped because Dai managed to hit Vearn good and rip off his arm but that pillar plot twist is hardcore, so now with the six pillars placed in strategic places he's able to destroy the entire world in 10 minutes... I don't know how they'll be able to stop that but I count on Popp

5 eps left but there are still many revealations and twists. I have to say the voice actors were too great this ep, especially Toshiyuki Toyonaga (Popp's seiyuu), he's just too good for this world!
Flash of Light is arguably the best arc of entire series, despite its shortness: only 5. CAN'T WAIT!!!

Popp is really carrying everyone right now. To think that he used to be the most cowardly character as well :O

This episode was really great. Only one pillar and so many despair.

And all this time I'm waiting for Gome-chan.

Damn. All this time Dark King Vearn was playing 4D chess moves the entire time. He's wasn't trying to kill Dai and the others, he was simply waiting for the right time to drop the final pillar on the surface world, but the real nail in the coffin is that those six pillars that were dropped on the surface world contains a large mass of black cores and those pillars connect to form a hexagon formation so that when they explode at the same time it will be enough to completely destroy the surface world. He literally gave Dai and the others a front row seat to see the destruction up close. Poor Dai, after all that hard work to come all this way to face and defeat the Dark King it was all for nothing as he has lost the will to fight.

All hope seems to be lost as there are only 10 minutes left until the destruction of the surface world.

Jaque mate de Vearn?

•Nuestros héroes se han rendido, ante el plan del rey demonio de destruir el mundo, y la aparente imposibilidad de detener ese trágico final. 😢

If you want to see anime characters senselessly beat each other around episode after episode, you should be watching something else. this anime is not that. this one has a great story to tell and emotion to go with it.

seeing how you focused on the one small thing in my post, i'm guessing it's still going to go the asspull route.
Maybe you could've replied with something useful.

well, people keep saying so many things which have happened are asspulls like how Avan keeps surviving everything but it's a matter of opinion. I'm not going to sit here and argue with people who have a different opinion because it is completely pointless, no one will change their opinion anyway.

I personally don't see anything as asspulls because everything has been explained. if they had at some point done something which wasn't explained properly then I could consider such thing as an asspull, but so far everything has had an explanation which was satisfying, to me anyway.

So the things which will happen next I would never consider asspulls either. but you might, and that's just your point of view.

Avan surviving megante more than once should've been your first clue.
Avan surviving killvearns fireball was another one.

There have been so many asspulls in this series it's almost hard to keep track. Avan and Hadlar are the biggest culprits.

but to me this is not an asspull. the first Megante he survived thanks to the amulet of Carl which he received from Flora. the second Megante he survived thanks to Hadlar's hyper demon ashes covering his body and absorbing the heat from the explosion. Remember, even though the judge exploded, his explosion wasn't actually a true Megante as the judge was a mechanical being incapable of producing touki. so the explosion from the judge was more of real energy explosion rather than a touki explosion so my the damage caused by the judge would have been in the form of flames and heat, those which were absorbed by handlers ashes. so you can say what you want, it's your opinion, but to me it is clear as day how he was a ke to survive, not one but two explosions.

also, why do you keep watching this show, just out of curiosity, if you feel it is full of asspulls.you must enjoy asspulls, that's my assumption.

Yuuyuu hakusho was filled with asspulls, DBZ is asspull city, Bleach is asspulls as well.
It doesnt make it bad, im just saying if someone argues against an expected asspull they are going to be disappointed.
Also, if you need a bible to type out an asspull, it is still going to be an asspull. Hadlars ashes? Judge not being a true megante?

Again, this doesnt make it a bad show, it's just a good show filled with asspulls and the ending is fruitious to see. Good guys gonna win, Vearn is gonna get a big L/ratio/gg and somehow the good guys are gonna make everything go away through the magic of plot armor/asspull

Not even a manga reader but i'd bet my savings on it.

Like I said, it's a matter of opinion. For me, an asspull is when characters power up out of nowhere or when seemingly impossible things happen and it's not explained well how they occurred.

Sure the heroes in this story have pulled a lot of seemingly impossible feats, but considering in their world of magic and touki, almost anything is possible, I'm not really considering anything they have done to be an asspull, and that's because they have always given us explanations of how these things were possible. The explanations they have given fit well within the rules they have established for the world this story is set in.

If for example, out of nowhere they would say something ridiculous like that Avan can not be killed because he is an immortal being from another galaxy, now that would be an asspull in my opinion because that explanation has nothing to do with everything else we have seen in this story.

but avan being protected by the ashes of a deceased hadlar isn't asspull enough?

Not at all. If you remember, heat and explosion attacks were Hadlar's specialty. We saw many times since the begin how he was unaffected by fire attacks. And when he became a hyper demon with enhanced resistance, even moreso. We also saw how he died in Avan's arms and his ashes got all over him. The only unexpected thing was that those ashes were able to protect Avan. But whether you believe that's impossible or not that's up to you. But remember, you should not judge the events that happen in this anime based on your reality, because the world in which this story is set up is not the real human world that we live in, so the same rules don't apply.

Even in the anime itself, a lot of things which the heroes call as miracles, have an actual explanation of how they were possible. Avan himself said that he survived through a miracle. But even Killvearn was logical enough to realize how it was possible for Avan to survive being shielded by Hadlar's ashes.

The only way this would have been an asspull in my opinion, is if Hadlar had not been resistant to heat and explosion attacks, because then it would not have made any sense that his ashes alone would have been able to shield Avan.

I have watched 95 episodes I have the right to have an opinion and make a complaint. In this arc they are literally explaining every tiny thing, every move they do is followed with a 5-minute explanation. It's too much.

Sure you have the right to complain and say whatever you want, but if you have watched 95 episodes then you should have known since a long time ago that this is how the anime operates. It's not like this is the first time they have had so much dialogue. Besides that, I think it makes perfect sense that the final episodes would have even more dialogue than the rest of the story because this is where all the plans are revealed and all the secrets exposed. So go ahead and complain all you want but it wouldn't make any sense for these final episodes to be an all out brawl without any dialogue.
