Episode 94 – On This Bond
Dai: Vearn… Popp may have been a little unreliable at first. But he’s been with me in this battle since the very beginning. He’s a friend I trust. He’s saved me time and time again! If Popp says he’ll make an opening for me, then he will! All I have is to trust him and focus my power!
Popp: You should remember this. The two of us aren’t alone. We may have started the adventure together, but we’ve met numerous people on our way here! We’ve fought against and been saved by them! If even one of them hadn’t been there, we wouldn’t be facing you now! Even if they are far away, even if they can’t move, we’re all connected by the bond of our souls! It’s the strength of this bond! You can’t see it, but I know it’s going to surprise you!

Comment of the Dai:
goes to u/NicDwolfwood for expressing his dissapointment:
Wasn't a fan of the ending either, all that damn screaming like Avan died…like sheesh they didn't even make that much noise for everyone else. I do want to see how Popp is gonna help Dai overcome, and I'm assuming its only a matter of time before Hym and Larhartt get turned to glass balls too so I'm not expecting anything out of them.
as for appreciating Leona:
I've said it before but Leona is a hell of a woman, it takes balls to stand up to someone you're totally outmatched by and with as much sass as she displayed
Questions of the Dai:
- Larhart got lost a little. Can you tell him which way is Vearn?
- Chiu is 1134,62 centimeters/446.70 inches far from Vearn who sent Calamity Wall Chiu’s way, and Calamity Wall operating speed is 3 Shonen Commentaries per 1 meter/ 3 Shonen Commentaries per 3.28 foot. How many Shonen Commentaries needs to transpire before Calamity Wall will kill Chiu?
- How much got Vearn played by Popp today?
- Did you expect the Mirror of Shalal to come into the play?

* [Larhart just channeled his inner Zura](https://i.imgur.com/aArMD50.png), and [Hym channeled his inner Sakamoto.](https://i.imgur.com/PG0Hjk8.png) I love those idiots. [](#azusalaugh)
* I think that I haven’t mention it yet, but if Avan was voiced by Tomokazu Sugita then yesterday charge would be really great coming from Gintama, buuuut we should be satisfied that we atleast got Avan with Katsura and Sakamoto versus Takasugi.
* Unrelated but me and u/sisoko2 were discussing where [we heard the Larhart noises](https://files.catbox.moe/nkvz69.mp4), before and we [recalled the Gintama Pool episode](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu3GkYpRRgA). [](#laughter)
* Maaaan, I love [the sneaky Medoroa Popp did](https://i.imgur.com/eu7A0MV.png). Usually we had a looong scene of Popp charging his Medoroa, but I love how it was done here.
* Also if Popp sent his Medoroa a second or maybe less sooner, then he would kill Dark King Vearn here, but that would be quite anticlimactic.

Also I am so so much proud for coming with this question. This is the best Rewatch question I’ve came with.
>How much got Vearn played by Popp today?
After yesterday and today episode, Dragon Quest learned me that ideal JRPG party is to have your party members actively shit on Final Boss, and let your Hero to take the credit for killing him.
>Did you expect the Mirror of Shalal to come into the play?
As First Timer, no.

[Popp answer.](https://i.imgur.com/pH8H0pB.png)
**First Timer, Sub**
Ok I got pretty hyped up by Popp’s strategy and seeing Larhart and Hym create the opening for him and Dai. I was wondering how they would be able to counter Vearn before Popp reveals the mirror which was cool to bring back.
1. Straight ahead
2. I suck at math so I’m going with 2.
3. Vearn was very much played.
4. I had forgotten it completely.
**1st** **~~Dai~~** **Popp no Daibouken Rewatch, Sub**
[Avan wasn’t lying](https://i.imgur.com/XAZi4Zs.png) when he said this episode. With one look, Popp was able to completely see through [Vearn’s Tenchimatou](https://i.imgur.com/c7XywKu.png) and [also the only way to possibly defeat Vearn](https://i.imgur.com/RQmsm2G.png).
As a first-timer, [when the Mirror of Shahal was revealed](https://i.imgur.com/bkEL0vt.png), I was at a loss for words. I mean this is ABSOLUTE CINEMA/PEAK FICTION/ZENITH OF THE MEDIUM. Like, there’s nothing that that can be improved upon here. All I’ve got to say is this is the peak of Popp no Daibouken. [Dai no Spoilers] >!Or is it?!<
[](#utahapraises)
>*You should remember this. The two of us aren’t alone. We may have started this adventure together, but we’ve met numerous people on our way here! We’ve fought against and been saved by them!

Popp gave a [hint about it here](https://i.imgur.com/ReEmcms.png) but he made it feel as if he was betting on the [Power](https://i.imgur.com/K0W15MG.png) of [Friendship](https://i.imgur.com/njDRhUM.png) to [win](https://i.imgur.com/CqLYonN.png) and [Vearn](https://i.imgur.com/MwTx774.png) fell right into his [trap](https://i.imgur.com/fabRypb.png). While Popp wasn’t lying when he said that it will help him, it wasn’t any miracle that helped them beat Vearn’s technique, it was the [OP item that was introduced way back in Episode 50](https://i.imgur.com/flfhZPC.png) which was [given by Hadlar to Sigma](https://i.imgur.com/mGtgvcM.png) that ended up being the deciding factor in peak Dragon Quest style. Hadlar gets another W after his death. Both [Riku Sanjo](https://twitter.com/Herms98/status/1569344479613825024) and Popp subverted the Power of Friendship trope while also using it and I must say this is ‘Power of Friendship’ done right.
Onto My Episode Notes:
* [“*Master, please watch us!*”](https://i.imgur.com/ZZG0iSD.png)
* [The Tenchimatou Stance](https://i.imgur.com/D6yX3Kl.png)
* [“*They say ancient humans thought thunde was the gods fighting in the heavens.*”](https://i.imgur.com/4C2qT5j.png) Vearn is really on par with the gods now.
* [“*Be a shield for Dai!*”](https://i.imgur.com/4o8S8I1.png)
* [Vearn](https://i.imgur.com/STu62Q3.png) gets ready to use his [Calamitous Wall](https://i.imgur.com/dBqpKYd.png). [It](https://i.imgur.com/3OBgAnZ.png) looks like [Chiu](https://i.imgur.com/R7VisUm.png) is going to [be wiped out.](https://i.imgur.com/xBARI5L.png)
* [Vearn almost died the last time he did it.](https://i.imgur.com/9HuM35A.png)
* [Calamitous Wall](https://i.imgur.com/CDNHOMt.png)
* [Popp](https://i.imgur.com/UV3Eyyo.png) and [Dai](https://i.imgur.com/6D9pe7N.png) had the [same idea](https://i.imgur.com/F5MI00S.png).
* [“*Even if it means getting hit by all three, I’ll give you the chance to strike back!*”](https://i.imgur.com/trpZbUZ.png)
* Other than Dai, [Hym](https://i.imgur.com/gone2bG.png) is probably the only one left who can do anything against the Calamitous Wall since it is an aura-based attack.
* [Chiu](https://i.imgur.com/rFb0CfJ.png) in admiration of Hym-chan.
>”[*You’ve gained by respect for the first time.*](https://i.imgur.com/GhcVCOy.png) [*But I can’t let you beat me in terms of dedication to Master Dai*](https://i.imgur.com/AqCGw2U.png)*.*”
Gotta admire Larhart’s dedication. [Man couldn’t see](https://i.imgur.com/RnIKjZZ.png) and still charged with his life just for Dai.
* Found this [Larhart](https://i.imgur.com/BjCnkAK.png)-[Hym](https://i.imgur.com/Ly6QyiD.png) exchange funny.
* [Hym](https://i.imgur.com/vqHutkF.png) tears up the [Calamitous Wall](https://i.imgur.com/E8JpQEF.png). [Vearn](https://i.imgur.com/X92Zd9u.png) isn’t pleased.
* [Hym and Larhart](https://i.imgur.com/N8eJOn2.png) charge toward Vearn with [their lives.](https://i.imgur.com/qi7tCCX.png)
* [Tenchimatou](https://i.imgur.com/Wvg4VPu.png)
* [Tenchimatou 2](https://i.imgur.com/Ha7LgtS.png)
* [The Aftermath](https://i.imgur.com/7pAf989.png)
* [Popp](https://i.imgur.com/LPzpDj5.png): [Surprise](https://i.imgur.com/ySEHXLj.png), [mf!](https://i.imgur.com/Y0tXvxW.png)
* [Vearn’s Evil Laugh](https://i.imgur.com/ObO14mT.png)
* [Popp and Dai](https://i.imgur.com/uGfenHL.png)
* [This was a close call](https://i.imgur.com/m1hiJpd.png) and like Popp said, the fact that [Vearn couldn’t reflect it back at him](https://i.imgur.com/WuneuC4.png) like [Mystvearn was able to](https://i.imgur.com/xJYi3QF.png) meant that [Popp’s Hypothesis was correct](https://i.imgur.com/sMqERiF.png). He didn’t do it [to defeat Vearn](https://i.imgur.com/dKW9wjl.png) but to show [Dai the perfect timing](https://i.imgur.com/gthaUaq.png).
>[*No matter how great a skill it is, you shouldn’t show it off so many times.*](https://i.imgur.com/45zweNa.png) [*If you want to secure a victory, you should attack normally.*](https://i.imgur.com/5UlgfNb.png) [*Mister Dark King!*](https://i.imgur.com/DJv49vQ.png)
This is peak Popp smugness. Like Avan said, if Vearn attacks normally, he would easily win since because Dai and Popp would be at a disadvantage but that would mean that Vearn doesn’t believe in his own technique which, according to him, [is his ultimate skill](https://i.imgur.com/K9O8Mq3.png).
* [Vearn accepts the challenge.](https://i.imgur.com/KAbdPf5.png)
* [And then there were two – Popp and Dai!](https://i.imgur.com/ESIEuW5.png)
>[*Which of us will use the decinding blow? Isn’t it obvious?!*](https://i.imgur.com/epfsL3S.png) [*The Hero is the one who always defeats the Dark King!*](https://i.imgur.com/CbeBcRo.png) [*I’ll be the shield against your ultimate skill!*](https://i.imgur.com/b1fizDh.png)
* [Popp charges towards Vearn with his attack.](https://i.imgur.com/6dzUXgy.png)
* [Popp’s attacks are neutralized](https://i.imgur.com/aI7FTkX.png).
* [Surprised Popp](https://i.imgur.com/4cvMnyh.png) Popp is such a great actor.
* [Smiling Vearn](https://i.imgur.com/2ihrl2m.png)
* [Vearn’s Kaiser Phoenix reaches Popp](https://i.imgur.com/HDYmnUt.png)
* [Vearn’s Laugh](https://i.imgur.com/IhHB6bN.png) I can’t get enough of this laugh. If only he knew!
* [Smiling Popp](https://i.imgur.com/Rc3WbGy.png) [Shocked Vearn](https://i.imgur.com/RgqVaGG.png)
* The [Mirror of Shahal](https://i.imgur.com/bkEL0vt.png) reveal!
* [The Mirror of Shahal](https://i.imgur.com/6rBFcru.png) reflects [Vearn’s Kaiser Phoenix](https://i.imgur.com/WoGDdt3.png) back at [Vearn](https://i.imgur.com/Bh9jxs8.png).

**1.** “Vearn is this way!”
**2.** 34.0386 Shonen Commentaries. I wasn’t aware this was a Maths class. But the real answer is 0 since no can hear their shonen commentaries.
**3.** Popp absolute played Vearn. He showed everyone that Vearn is the biggest clown.
**4.** As a first-timer, yes. When it was introduced, it was said to be an item gifted by Hadlar and not part of Sigma’s body so it would be really foolish to just leave it there when Sigma died. But the way it was used was just perfection and I honestly didn’t see this coming as a first-timer.
First timer!
1. That scene was actually kinda funny lol.
2. So the distance between them is 11.3452m and there’s 3 Shonnen Commentaries/m. That’s 11.3462 * 3 = 34.0386 Shonen Commentaries, so 34 Shonen Commentaries would need to be transpired before the Calamity Wall killed Chiu. Except this was a trick question, Chiu could easily dissolve the wall if he really wanted to, it would never kill him.
3. It’s all within his plan, I’m sure. I hope.
4. I didn’t even remember its existence lol.
[Yes Popp, it’s time to use that ultimate skill one more time.](https://i.imgur.com/Q3NGSw4.jpeg) That ultimate skill that beat literally no one.
[Chiu needs to be protected at all costs, he’s too precious!](https://i.imgur.com/X8N49E6.jpeg)
[Did any of Lon Beruk’s weapons survive so far?](https://i.imgur.com/wR6fiL5.jpeg)
**First Timer, Sub**
**…..**And Hym and Larhartt got turned to glass balls, but atleast they served their purpose in showing Popp the timing to getting through Vearn’s stance. Exposition and power of friendship was strong this episode, even Vearn was talking shit, saying having soul won’t beat him lol.
Clever Popp though, he had the mirror of Shahal under his clothes and was able to reflecting that Kaiser Phoenix attack back at him. I’m interested to see how much damage that deals and if Dai will be able to deal a devastating attack.
**Questions:**
1. lol. Just follow Hym’s voice.
2. Idk. 3?
3. He got owned. Popp had that mirror of Shahal waiting for him lol.
4. Nope. Excellent surprise that Popp had that.
