Fuck it, blogpost time. Call me a faggot, I don't care.

I watched the original Dai anime when I was a kid, and Avan's death impacted me deeply when I witnessed it. I'm not sure that it was the first time I saw a major likable character heroically sacrifice himself to protect those he cares about (in fact, it most likely wasn't, not even in anime), but the way it was executed really impressed me. Not even kidding, I would think about it every once in a while for close to twenty years.

That is, until I decided to read the manga around 2013 or so, and man what a fucking trip that was when I got to this point. I didn't care that it was an asspull or whatever, and let's be fair, it was. Even so, I felt exactly what Dai and the other disciples felt at that moment, that joyous feeling of reuniting with a loved one that you believed to be gone, except for me it had been close to two decades rather than a few months.

A few years ago, I got to share that with my older brother, who also watched the show back then, though it was through the new anime. He actually started crying, and thanked me for sharing that moment with him.

That's why, asspull aside, I'm ok with his return, along with the fact that it made for the best possible wrap-up for Hadlar's arc. I know others feel differently for various reasons, but this is just my perspective.

>>
>>269791927
For those who call it bullshit, look back at the part where Hadlar tried to burn Dai and Popp to death. A good writer understands that there's more to good writing than simply going with the flow and this is a miracle that took so much of humanity's power to happen. Flora refused to give up, Avan fought to the end, Dai and Popp made it this far and even Hadlar had to change. This is one of the best damned closures and Hadlar's story couldn't have come to a proper close without it.

>>269792376

Glad to have helped! Hadlar's development happened because of the manga's extension so this is simply a kino bookend for him that plays off what was already shown in the past. You might notice too that Avan insinuated that Hadlar was like a pawn - who's the piece most like him?
>>
>>269792569
ANON PLS
I CAN'T TAKE ALL THIS KINO
>>
>>269792562
Remember how Avan encased Dai, Popp and Brass and Hadlar was going to use his flame to burn them to ashes? Yeah, the entire fire trap scene is a direct call back to this.

>>269792618
You want one more? Leona said a long time back that it's good to talk about your feelings back when Maam left and this bites back hard at Popp...because he did not. It's just cool seeing what a good mangaka remembers about the he material he wrote and incorporating it into the extended content.

In shonen, you've pretty much reached middle age by your 30's, and you're utterly ancient once you reach your 60's.
>>
>>269791927
It's an asspull but it is a well executed one.
The thing with Avan is that even if he died early his influence and presence can be felt through the entire series afterwards and he's brought and mentioned tons of times. He never leaves the reader's mind.
It carries a lot of emotional depth, and ultimately, Avan becomes a support and not a OP gary stu oneshotting everything and everyone
There's more to things than "logical writing". Logic without emotion is pointless. It's a story meant for entertainment at the end of the day.
>>
>>269788587
Like I know mango logic has master swordsmen at 13 and head of world spaning corporations at 19.

But fucking come on 33 isnt retirement age, I bet would much rather get busy with the locksmith, the stable boy, the carpenter, the tailor, the blacksmith and the mailman.

Either that or she followed Aban´s example and took a sidetour to a dungeon that teleported her to the moon where she is secretly leveling up to lv 300 but is going to arrive just one day after the conflict is over.
>>
>>269791403
So if you're wondering why maam didn't become a dedicated support slut it is, because Avan became the dedicated buffer/debuffer.
>>
>>269794384
Leira getting turned into some generic NPC middle woman despite being one of Avan's companions is honestly one of the most baffling choices and decisions of this manga.
It's even worse in hindsight after seeing how she was like through the Avan Manga.

Look at post-timeskip Luffy, he went from Fishman Island just throwing out flaming red hawks to battling it out with Kaido in G5. With the battles Dai and co go through it's no wonder they grow like that.

Exactly. Knowing how to reward your readers is just as important as making sure all your points line up and Sanjo is pretty great at doing both.

>>
>>269799224
It's not simply about emotion, Sanjo has repeatedly emphasized that strength, magic and heart are needed and likewise he doesn't just reward his characters because they wish for it. He knows how to create longing and yearning, using them as motivators and giving characters their just reward for fighting for it and that's one of his greatest strengths in my opinion.
>>
>>269799423
I was speaking generally. You should think about more than just "does it make sense" for any work.
Of course, I wouldn't excuse Kengan Omega for its constant barrage of illogical garbage, I think there's a limit and "that manga" doesn't make up for it in emotion as it expected everyone to see Erioh's death as a "tragedy".

>>269787983
Dai still has super strong spells. He could already use Iora to great effect against those dragons. He just isn't as adept as Popp is.

Avan isn't far from her in age. In fact he's roughly the same age. I take it Roca's death was pretty heavy on her and she just wanted to raise Maam in piece after the events of Hadlar's reign were over.

IIRC Sanjo only created Kill-Vearn after deciding that Avan would come back, he was designed from the get-go as the kind of trickster who absolutely cannot handle a man as perceptive as Avan.
>>
>>269786841
Vearn is disappointed in Kill.
>>
>>269800420
But Kill-Vearn appeared before the manga's extension, does that mean Avan was intended to return either way?

He must have bathed in monster blood. He must have also eaten monsters he killed while down there. Some small pack of rations wouldn't suffice.

The only good thing anyone can say about Killvearn is that he acknowledges Pop as a threat.
>>
>>269788286
Its peak masculinity.

>>269791758
Peak fiction has not passed. It still has yet to be reached.

The interactions between Pop and Hadlar are great. Two character arcs intersecting
>>
>>269788551
I still have mixed feelings about this.
>>
>>269788618
Killvearn is spooked and shook.

Veran is like 'Yep, knew something was gonna happen.'

This is why HUNKel activates Maam's ovaries way harder than Poppo.
>>
So in the end what's the actual death count? 1? Baran? but his soul lives in Dai and he can still communicate with him, he even joined with the love of his life in the after life, so he gets the best of two worlds. Hadlar? I doubt it counts.
Matoriv? survives
that old martial god? survives
Avan? lmao
The sad thing is that Hyunckle gets replaced in the final battle by his gay lover Lahart, and Maam also gets replaced by her very own Teacher, which also happens to be an original Hero party member. Technically multiple characters could've stayed dead and it wouldn't have changed anything, besides upping the stakes and elevating the sacrifices. Hell even earth get nuked and nobody really gets hurt, thanks to Merle being useful, but still. It's retarded.
>>
>>269794141
It's true.
>>
Can't wait for Hym's glorious hair.
>>
>>269804924
What about all the villagefolk who were nuked into oblivion or kingdoms that were slaughtered?
>>
>>269797857
To be fair luffy didn't actually get pushed untill dressrosa or arguably even whole cake island sibce he didn't use gear 4 intill those arcs.
And after that he went through some training in wano.

>>269799535
Omega doesn't deliver in either the logical or emotional sense. It has no real structure, and just keeps throwing stuff at the wall and doesn't even wait to see what sticks on before starting to throw even more at it so nearly not a single thing has a payoff and what little does end up reaching the payoff stage ends up feeling extremely underwhelming.
Logic is not everything, but neither is emotion. If Avan hadn't been mentioned ever again after the died then absolutely no one would have liked him coming back, but as >>269794311 mentioned, Avan was a constant presence through the entire series even after his demise, this being the logical part, with the emotional part being knowing how much Avan being alive means to everyone as consequence of that ever-presence beyond the grave.
>>
>>269808297
Exactly, they go together. Though opinions still vary.
>>
>>269804924
Worst yet a ton of new characters get introduced and they have an anemic impact.

Nova, Flora, the bald captain... None of them really do anything that merits them not being merged into other characters.

Like you could have done a better job of bringing back Avan if you tied it to the Megante or the secret dungeon.

When Pop uses the Megante on Baran, have Baran say that the tecnique can be used to be reborn with the level of the guy you killed yourself with, but it has like a .001% of working, and its something only crazy priests in Makai did, have him tell that Pop was really fucking close even if he himself didnt know it, that would be foreshadowing so that once Hadora dies, somehow Avan can come back with his level or some shit.

Consequently, have Flora mark that its weird that the dungeon has significantly lower resistance than it should, its almost as if someone had come recently.

Like maybe others go with the rule of cool, but as I said Aban´s appearance just heralds a fuckton of bullshit that stains the whole work.

Death is such an irreversible, definitive and final thing and when used properly in story it can hammer the themes of letting go, accepting the impermanence of things and realizing the harshness of life. The story already had Avan die and have his legacy live on through others, his return just feels so fucking cheap and what it gives pales in comparison to what it takes.
>>
>>269809015
Having the dungeon crawlers note that the monster population is oddly low would work, but

>When Pop uses the Megante on Baran, have Baran say that the tecnique can be used to be reborn with the level of the guy you killed yourself with, but it has like a .001% of working, and its something only crazy priests in Makai did, have him tell that Pop was really fucking close even if he himself didnt know it, that would be foreshadowing so that once Hadora dies, somehow Avan can come back with his level or some shit.

That's an incredibly random thing to add which has no connection to how Megante works in the games and is obviously there just to imply something about the only other time someone used Megante. Also why would you want to make the mentor who's so proud of how much his students have grown suddenly leapfrog past them with zero effort?

Your fanfic aside.
I do sometimes wonder how a remake of Dai would be like considering how much shit DQ has added through the years since then.
It's crazy to think this manga started just after 3 came out and ended a bit after 6.
Imagine how much more broken Pop would be with all the modern DQ magic for example.
>>
>>269810319
I'd want them to massively cut down on magic immunities because it just makes it unnecessarily hard to write action scenes for him. Some reflections are ok but dime a dozen is too much.
>>
>>269794079
Yeah.
>>
>>269809015
I agree outside of the Megante part.
I feel like avan being the dead, but his legacy living on inside the people who he touched.

I think the Charm of Carl may be a nod to this item, or the other way around.
These may break with use as well.
>>
>>269812947
Infinite Dendrogram has a ton of high-level people running around with charms like that, to the point of people using attacks which hit multiple times just to bypass each others' charms. There's also one book wiith a supposedly invincible warrior who never takes part in duels for some reason, which turns out to be because of the restriction on which items you can bring into the arena; he's wearing a charm but also has a passive ability which makes his equipment indestructible.

The same series has a guy who can fuse with his pet demon + a second monster to enter a powerful chimera form. The first time he does this it's with a dragon, and the resulting form is literally called Ryuumajin.
>>
>>269813860
Infinite Dendrogram is a setting so filled with bullshit powers and minmaxers that you could put a Vearn-Flazzard fusion in orichalcum armor spamming Five Finger Medroa from both hands inside a Curse Field and he'd last like a week tops before dying to some literal who that hard countered all his abilities.
>>
>>269810319
Leona would have been a main fighter for sure. Maybe Merle as well.
Leira would have been on a mentor role for the group as well kinda like Matoriv.
Maam would likely have a different skillset or jobset.

Never played DQ so dunno lel

>>269813860
You sold the setting with that explanation.

>>269816227
You could EASILY merge post death Avan and Flora into one character, she could have just come out of the Dungeon and then guide the girls and co back since she has been training nonstop there, she could be the one to join the party as a new Avan disciple and pretty much do what he does, the explanation is rather easy, she felt the bigass tremors of Vearn´s palace as he planted his towers across the globe and that was what finally made her come to the surface.

Similarly have fucking Crocodine DIEEEEEE, he loses most of his story involvement after the Baran fight, originally it was Pop but have that wedge, Nova could have taken his role and been introduced all the way from the Kings summit.

Worse part is as I said, the bullshit is just starting, were about to hit YUGIOH cartoon levels of catapult turtle bullshit
Shonen babies can take it, let go Avan die like Optimus Prime and scar a generation, dont rez him back and cheapen the whole thing.
>>
>>269816379
Unfortunately the Dendro anime is a "we handed the director wagyu cows and he made sausage" level trainwreck; the LNs are the only real way to experience it.

I kinda like that idea.
Make her so that she was part of Avan's OG party too to justify her being Avan 1.5 skillsetwise.
And add to the tragedy that her man died and she's gonna die a lonely hag.
>>
>>269816626
Adding to this, Flora and Hadlar could have quite the showdown if she inherited his arc, with Flore being mad as fuck (She finding out that Avan just died after coming out of the dungeon) and Hadlar having found his new honor, experimenting genuine remorse for having taken away the man she loved from her.
