Lol that cat outfit. It kinda reminds me of one similar from Dragon Quest 11.

Amusing episode imo especially their little shopping trip. Heroes and heroines needs to dress well for the occasion although that armor seems a bit heavy on the side.

No new opening/ending that's too bad

let's wait episode 26 now.

A lot of changes and dragonquest fanservice adds.

Not the best episode so far but was necessary to introduce Merle (Meruru) and give more life to the charaters.

They still managed to keep the episode funny while keeping it modern. All the gags were there but with a new take

But this time the censorship was not bad at all xD They reduced the sexual but still kept Dragon Quest game references and Leona was still a little sexy with Angel leotard. This is the first time I praise the censorship lol

What seemed like a normal comedy episode to break from all the life on the line action of this past arc. But instead we end here leading right into the next arc, Baran has sent dragons after Dai. Just as he said a few episodes ago he would be the one to take Dai down after many other legion commanders failed or turned. It was fun seeing Leona hang loose and be herself. Dai and Leona are very cute together. Popp and her also gaining new respect for one another. Dai and Popp have faced many enemies but nothing quite like some dragons.

An episode dedicated to department store might reflect Japan trend at the time of manga that department store was a hot trend in town.

Anyway, I don't like when they tone down sexual content. If they truly care about kids they should tone down violence content instead.

It's pretty fun to see Leona, Dai and Popp doing shopping together, especially that both Dai and Pop aren't used at all, they were even afraid of the elevator xD Also Leona's outfits were pretty cool, especially the 1st angel one.
Too bad that they can't really rest, Bengarna is attacked by dragons and they'll have to fight to defend the city and the people, well it seems like that new black hair girl will play an (important maybe) role for the next episodes, I'm curious now.

Damn Popp just had to tag along, it could have been a fun date with Leona and Dai but oh well. Leona in different clothes was cute.

Two new characters appear and both of them seems like they'll be quite important, specially Merle.

Ah Saori as Leona truly a blessing here with her genkiness. I wonder how i forget her trait and that popular voice so much when the first meet happened between her and Dai. This episode was a beneficial to showed the other side of Leona, the Papnica princess. I am surely get a blessing.

Shopping episode. I like Dai and Popp respond at those elevator. The armor looked good, but its obvious that its way too big to Dai. So, ofc a little change was expected to suit Dai style more.

The Baran Dragon Legion finally arrived to shock the peaceful country. The truth behind the dragon crest slowly but sure will be unveils. Lets go!

So Dai and Leona's first adventure is traveling to Bengarna Kingdom to shop at a major department store. Popp eventually tags along as Dai tries to find a new weapon. Leona tries on a few cute outfits while tries on some new armor that is obviously to heavy for him. They come across a special weapon called the Dragonbane that was up for auction, but unfortunately they were outbid by another merchant. We also come accros two seers that predicted trouble is coming this way and they were right as an army of Dragons attacked the Bengarna Kingdom. I guess this was Baran's way of testing Dai if he is a true Dragon Knight.

We'll find out next week as Dai shows his true power of the Dragon Knight.

I really enjoyed the extra scenes and changes they made in this episode during the shopping trip. The Mini Medals reminded me of my own collecting craze in DQ11 🤣 it feels like the animators are huge DQ fans and giving the show much love.

The only change I'll miss is Merle's eyes - they were very different in the manga and gave her an air of mystery compared to the other humans.

Come on, Popp. You were doing so well up until the end lol

I was half expecting Bengarna was going to have machine guns and modern tech since Leona boasted about a department store along with a powerful army with a strong economy.

Is Popp's belt a chastity belt? That's why it's "cursed?" XD

Did you really make an account 3 months ago with only one watched anime to your name so you can sexualize a fictional character in what amounts to a comedy scence in a fantasy setting where they are in a 'mega mall' trying on different outfits parodying a thousand other likewise scenes.

Your are sick in the head and you need to seek professional help if I'm being honest.

Well, in the original anime the scene is more sexulized, so I don't see the problem with his comment.

I hate Leona. Like with maam, she complained about pop when they were the ones that saved her. I know she is blunt, but it's still pretty dickhead behavior. I admit she can be funny though

Melulu is the TRUE best girl by the way!

I think you are right with Melulu's eyes but this version doesn't seem bad either. She might even be cuter this way actually.

Having mini medals in that form inside food is kind of worrying though, what if someone ingests them by accident?

Yeah nothing wrong with her current eyes either! To be fair the manga version might not have animated well or made her look too creepy, who knows. I never watched the old anime so not sure if she turns up/how she was designed in that one.

Your impression isn't wrong, that's certainly what she's like for the most part. It's just that I generally find that kind of character type boring, although obviously plenty of others don't.

And in the manga usually the eyes are more expressive than that pic (especially when character is "zoomed in" or in later parts)
