How can Popp be the best lad of 1991 and 2021?

To think that when I started the series, I thought he was the Luigi to Dai’s Mario.

You know what's funny. Editors at that time didn't like Popp's character, but the author convinced them that Popp was the Krillin of the series and from there they liked him

bruh popp is still trash imao

Just because he did one good thing doesnt mean is good
Still hate him
he annyoing and the only thing he does is screaming
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

Your opinion is traaash.
Popp had the best character development in the story and he definitely didn't only do one good thing. Popp's an amazing deuteragonist who developed both as a character and in terms of power throughout the story. He gave us so many amazing moments without being some kinda Dragon Knight like Dai and Baran are.

Says the dude who likes trash imao that Irony smh

Popp is the mvp of this episode

And a bro lol

Heck yeah popp development is through the roof

Doesn't matter if he's got the power of a dragon knight, Dai is still a kid. Don't know why they'd be surprised when he ran away. The hero isn't just a stoic warrior of justice lol.

Please remember this episode, it will make itself very clear in a few episodes why the author made Dai run.

an anime kid that acts like an actual kid in a stressful situation?

This is to realistic lol

i hope popp doesn't die his speech to dai is rasing some flags in my head popp is the best

He already died once.

True

lol

dude has plot armor he never going to die lol

Good episode.
Popp - wow, he became really good character!!

"But can I become a Disciple of Avan without his teachings?" Umm... they have his book, you know. :/

60 episodes in and Avan legacy continued to shine.
60 episodes in and you wouldnt expect that sort of speech from Pop.
This series just keeps going strong.

no cap this series will be passed down as Scripture through generations of Anime watchers

Lots of spoilers in the comments. Avoid reading if possible.

Great episode! Dai just wouldn’t be realistic if he didn’t respond to the pressure that way, and Leona becoming a Disciple of Avan, so cool!

17:15 Leona, please, not right now! Everyone's looking! :P

What a masterpiece of an episode! Everyone expects the hero of the story to be this unmoving mountain, unyielded to any disaster, but they always forget a hero is still a living being with emotions and agonies. That's when someone, who is the exact opposite, can reassure the hero that everything will be fine. Amazing!

Popp's monotagari pose.

Finally, the princess is a damsel in distress no more

Remember Dai is half human, half Dragon Knight.
Just like with Valkyrie Profile, Odin and later Lenneth are half human and thus they have the limitless potential, the ability to GROWTH.
In Dai's case, the Dragon Crest just like Super Saiyan, the stronger his normal state growth, the stronger he becomes as the Dragon Knight.

Popp being the MVP again <3

That’s some great words of encouragement Popp.

so many episodes ????

Damn Crocodine dissed in the first scene 😂

And with this episode Popp has cemented himself as the best character in the series. This episode did a good job of humanizing Dai, people often forget that he's still just a kid, and that all the pressure and suffering lose after lose eventually got to him.

YAY POPP.

My heart😭😭😭😭😭
I absolutely love this series!
I attempted the original anime but stopped after a few episode i kind of dont want to know the story i wanted to keep up with this version on a blank slate.
Popp has won my heart entirely! Everyone was right how his development has major growth! If it werent for him & his personality Dai would have never faced himself or reality, just as said the title the weight but Popp knowing him so well he knew where he zoomed he knows hes a child another who is in growth just as himself and doesnt distinguish him by a race or title but as Dai! I remember how different their relationship was in the beginning with Popp lagging behind Dais talent & now Popp is the one giving the biggest best speech of courage!
& he did it anonymously from the rest of the teams knowledge, it was such a good speech instead of gaining glory to it or speaking it to others its just between him and Dai & he doesnt even let a hint of it out in Dai's sake & Dai's symbolism standing in front of the others. Private between the best of friendship love.
Popp has truly grown to be a excellent Hero & disciple of avan, even Dai is taken aback by it and raised by it.
Im so speechless & excited!
Next finally some Avan background!

JUST WAIT TIOLL AVAN COMES BACK.... WAIT HUH LOL

Things are turning into a great stew

watch till end, you can see preview of avan the hero! thats coming in next episode

TATAKAE DAI TATAKAAAAAAAAAEEEEEE!!!!

hmm so next episode is Avan chroniclers, also hadler from the next episode preview looks like Picollo

well now their party should be complete. Leona will become like a white mage. Popp is a dark mage, maam is a tank, dai is a knight and hyunckel is a dragoon.

And Crocodine - not invited to the party 😂
