Damn, you know this episode hits the feels when Dai sheds those man tears. No matter what you think of Baran, he was a hell of a warrior.

Obviously, the episode dealt with the drama and aftermath too. Rough episode :o

Very sad seeing Baran die, I had that feeling he would have to sacrifice himself for Dai to stop the black core. But man that is so sad seeing Dai lose his father right in front of him. Baran did everything he could to save Dai and his friends so they could stop Dark King Vearn. I have a sneaking suspicion that's not the last we see of Hadlar seems too easy for him just being obliterated in an explosion. Vearn of course had to come great the heroes whom had made it this far. Nothing short of a miracle just as he said. Offering them the chance to all take him on solo. A rare opportunity but something about it is not right. It wouldn't be this simple if he was offering it to them

This episode freaking hit hard. Very hard. If anything I am including this to be one of the emotional moments for me this year. Despite all the good and eveil Baran did. He was a powerful warrior and a caring father to the very end. He even tells Dai not to give up and stand up and go forward to defeat Dark King! Then the Dark King himself shows himself and gives them a chance to fight him as a reward. Like wow.

I got chills multiple times throughout this episode, it’s been quite a while since we lost a major character in this show, and it really sucks because all the characters in this show are fantastic. I legitimately have no idea how they are going to put up a fight against King Vearn, Dai better pop off and do something crazy because I don’t want anyone else to die. Fantastic episode, cannot wait to see what happens next.

Baran death. Sentimental moment. Hadlar unknown. Vanished without a trace? Popp trying to be funny again. Everyone on tension. King Vearn welcomed them by himself and gave them a reward of handicap to fight alone without any interference of their loyal two, Mystvearn and Killvearn. What a confident. Really looking forward to see the next...

Man as an anime only, this episode was so damn hard to watch. Baran and Dai had only just began to form a relationship and had only recently been able to say how they felt.. and for Baran to be gone.. tragic.

In a way it was pretty obvious it had to happen tho. Baran is so OP that him being alive just wouldn’t make sense in the story since he could go toe to toe with Vearn.

I hope we get to see more of him in some capacity later on tho

That was extremely emotional to see Dai losing his dad like that, RIP Baran but now he's in Dai's heart... though the part with Vearn is really weird, he'll fight them alone in the next episode? I'm very interesting to see how it will turn out

Very good episode with some great soundtracks but the scene Hyunckel's remembrance of his dead father was done way better in manga, wayyyy more emotional



Anyway, next week will be one of the best episodes!!!

A sad episode in which Baran gave up his life to protect Dai and his friends from the Black Core explosion just when Dai was getting around to calling Baran his father. However, the Dark King Vearn finally showed himself in person with a terrifying presence. Next week we get to see how OP Dark King Vearn really is as he takes on Dai and his friends at once.

The ED hits harder now. RIP Baran. I thought he would be turned on ashes when he fell in the ground, but at least father and son had a last conversation.

great and sad episode

Baran was able to take Dai and escape from the site of the explosion, but he know that his son won't forgive him if he ran and leave all his friends to die, so he decided to stay and save everyone

imo
Baran's death was necessary to keep the story and events more balanced and logical, especially when it comes to battles and fights , he was overpowered and broken
his death was really sad but it had to happen

It's just miraculously good episode. While it's also very sad, I'm happy to see Baran in shirtless situation for one last time. I've to say that I still have a little bit of hope in me since I don't see Mother Dragon retrieving Baran's soul yet. So when Dai said that his father lives in him, it doesn't just mean it's just what Dai feels, his father really actually continues to live in him, not just Baran's dragonic power or crest, but his very soul, is inside Dai's little body. I don't know how long this condition will last but I hope there's a good news awaiting for me.

Personally I don't want to see Baran died but from the ethical point of view. Baran did something bad, very very bad while he's in Dark Army. While Hyunckel and Crocodine also did something bad in the past, I assume they haven't kill anyone, while Baran was really kill someone, a human, on screen too (in the beginning of episode 24), not just when he explode the whole Kingdom when his wife died, but a lot after that. While I'm glad that this manga is a kind of type that no villain would go unpunished, I want it to settle down to something other than death, maybe lifetime in prison.

Talking about Vearn, I just realized that since Mystvearn is Vearn, could this mean Killvearn is also Vearn, since he also has Vearn in his name. While Mystvearn is a younger version, it makes me curious about Killvearn, another younger version, older version, looking forward to the twist.

Whelp, I guess Hadlar and his chest pieces are really gone now... What a shame! I really love to see the fight between each of them and Dai's team... shame...

Anyway, very good ep. We say goodbye to Baran, an awesome character btw, and he didn't go lightly, only a mega-ton nuclear explosion could kill him and that's pretty much how it happens.
A very emotional ep, and now we have the preview of the final fight... because, of course, Dai's team will not make a scratch on Vearn... not in this life!

I really want to know how they will become stronger after being kicked badly by Vearn... it will have something to do with their new orichalcum weapons (shown in the opening), or will it will be a completely different thing/technique?

BUT 1st they need their cocky little assess kicked by Vearn! Let's just focus on the next ep, shall we? xD
For the ones that like to bother others (like me) with "you should read the manga/LN", please stop. I don't read mangas, I will NOT read mangas, I will not listen to what manga readers complain in adaptation to the anime counterpart, I only watch anime except in very few and specific situations.

Another great episode, we're finally at the big boss and can't wait for the fight to come. I've been following this show since the start and am really invested in Dai, Popp, Crocodine and the others.

I wonder what the secret behind Mystevearn is, I'm guessing he's Dark King Vearn's true self, or maybe his son.

Dai kills Baran in the final episode of the 1991 version, where Baran was still the bad guy, which was a filler ending and what I saw first, so this episode felt weird to me where I'm seeing Baran die a different way and as a good guy and Dai mourning his death.

He did not die in original anime, he did retreat after dai hit him with Avan Strash

Check final episode again. Maybe you forgot

@DragonKnight92 kinda glad it was done the way it was in the anime, it was Dai’s moment, not Hyunckel’s, and they did show that part a bit later.
