I don't care what other people think I have seen this ep like 50 times AND FOR ME! THIS IS THE BEST EP EVER IN THE HISTORY OF ANIME THE ART AND ANIMATION IS MOVIE LEVEL THE MOMENTS AND THE DIALOGUE SPECIALLY THE ONE BETWEEN POPP AND HADLER IS INSANE Have you ever imagined seeing a demon crying and praying for a human?? This is top tier writing And after all of that THE RETURN OF THE GREAT HERO AVAN AND THE LEGEND OF HOW THE DEMON KING DIES ON THE HAND OF THE HERO BECAME REAL I really love this story....
It was incredible because it made sense. Hadlar and Avan have been archenemies for YEARS, there was already a level of respect there. Even when Hadlar seemingly KILLED Avan, once he developed and understood how important Honor was to a warrior, he regretted what he did. He didn’t ask for forgiveness, but to only die with honor. And once Avan returned from the “dead” and faced him one last time, he STILL kept his warrior personality and gave crucial, tough advice to Avan before he defeated KillVearn and passed away, his development was incredibly well done.
If you read the prequel, about how Avan grew from a nameless soldier to a hero, Hadlar's personality is even clearer. Unlike his underlings, he doesn't ambush or use dirty tricks. He is both a cruel tyrant and a honorable warrior.
Now that the anime has ended I just wanna come back here and wish Hadlar his goodbye, this show had a lot of well written characters and I would say that Hadlar is one of the best written villains I've seen
@@drap13 es extraño, porque nunca lo supe hasta ahora. Normalmente son cosas que se acaban sabiendo pronto. Solo quienes leyeron el manga lo esperaban.
Hadlar became one of the most redeemable villains I have ever seen in ages. The way they did this made me cry so much there is no words that help express the emotions I felt while watching it it. Hadlar is on par with Meruem of a villain who gains so much growth and development that it makes you question in the end if they were the hero of their story or still a villain. I will hold this scene in thigh regards for years to come and Hadlar has become one of my favorite characters in this series
There's a lot of villains who redeemed themselves. Saga from Saint Seiya killed himself to atonish for his sins,and also Nephrite from Sailor Moon gave up his life to save thst girl who had a crush on him.
I can think of two anime ones, but they probably predate you. Both could out shine hereos. Ashrum, Lodoss war. He killed the wizard at end, not tje hero, later he made a kingdom. And.... QUAKE WITH FEAR! Anubis, Ronin warriors. Evil, to monk, to hero, to death.
Hadlar was a tyrant, but at the end of the day he proved to be a hero in his own way. To that end I think towards the final inning Dai and the others stopped hating Hadlar for the atrocities he committed, but hated him righteously as an enemy they had to defeat. All in all rest easy Hadlar, your played your role well in this story🙂
Damn Hadlar is a legendary villain!! So much character development, he was an evil sadistic demon in the beginning and when he became a superior being he regained his honor and Pride as a Warrior. He fought Dai and his friends fair and square and even after he lost he still showed respect to his enemies! Few villains have his charm, R.I.P. Hadlar you won’t be forgotten.
ハドラーは物語序盤は屑で中盤は地位に固執していたが,終盤でひと皮が剥けある意味敵側では誰よりも劇的に変わった人物でした,好敵手でありダイ達の最大の理解者にもなれていたハドラーの最期は30年経っても色褪せない名シーンです(*ˊ˘ˋ*)♪ Hudler was junk in the beginning of the story and stuck to position in the middle. But at the end of the game, he peeled off his skin and became a great warrior, The end of Hudler, who was a worthy rival and the others, is a famous scene that hasn't faded even after 30 years (*ˊ˘ˋ*)♪
Although I consider Dai no Daibouken a medium-to-good show (even being myself a fan), this episode, this scene was masterpiece level. I can't remember of many characters that were developed so powerfully and beautifully as Hadlar's here. And the show has even the good examples of Hyunkel, Baran and Popp even more. But Hadlar... that's my favorite. I'm so glad to be alive to have watched this episode, ever since in my childhood I lamented the cancellation of the original run. Superb.
