(L+CR) Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai

[Lex79]

I'll be 100% honest, when I first read the manga, for a moment I really thought "oh, maybe Hyunckel is really dead", but the author didn't have enough courage to do that. Or he simply likes Hyunckel too much.

I've seen entire romcoms where the romance aspect was worse than that single scene between Dai and Leona.

Oh great, an enemy coming out of nowhere to prolong the story even more. Exactly what we needed. I did like that Vearn was all "huh, I didn't see that one coming".

I like Larhart a bit more now that we learned his backstory. I was kind of shocked that although Dai told him not to call him Dino, he didn't tell him to drop the -sama. I thought he would accept him as a comrade, not an underling.

I didn't watch last week's episode, so last plus this one, there was SOOO MUCH POSTERING!!!!!! I couldn't stand it! But yeah that Dai/Leona moment was really good; so good, it alleviated my irritation of all of the postering before it. I was wondering what she could even do, aside from some secret Avan gave her, but I thought the "fight with me" ideal was especially impactful, particularly after Vearn's warning of "Dragon Knights being bad luck for the women they're with" or whatever.

Thought the same. Definitely rolled my eyes when Leona got grabbed. A prime example of an author trying to elongate his/her story =0v...

As a non native English speaker, what does postering means in this context?

For the scene, if we look back at the say before the final battle, it's a nice contrast to what happened then. That day Dai was against Leona joining the battle, which was understandable since even himself was scared to face Vearn again and, let's be honest, Leona isn't at the same level as the Avan's disciples. Now he completely respects her determination and wants her to be with him no matter how dangerous things are going to be.

Or, you know, a brother, since they have the same father.

Like a poster; standing around and doing nothing. Talking, messing around, instead of getting on with the story. Mystvearn is particularly overly wordy with his expositions and analyzations to his enemies. Though, I can admit, this might have been a bit of an exaggeration in the moment, due to my impatience with the story.

edit: I think I was looking for the word "posturing", but I don't believe that is the right context for that word either. Sorry m(_ _m).

I'm not sure he said that part out loud. It felt like it was for the audience.

Thanks. It's true that they are talking a lot, which is a bit ironic considering that Mystvearn was introduced as someone who only talked once in decades, but there are only few bad guys left so he has to do his part.
