I was sure that chapter 40 was going to be the final chapter! I'm glad that there's going to be at least one more. That means we'll have plenty of pages to dedicate to epilogue. I'm hoping they announce an anime with the final chapter!

Yep! Good old shotgun wedding is, iirc, the last chapter of the next volume. I'm actually really excited about the next few chapters. It retells a part of the story from the Original series... and the faithfulness of the adaptation down to the very details in the backgrounds of the panels...

Toriyama was responsible for the monster designs and character designs in the original DQ games. In that way, his influence can be seen in all of the monsters that exist in the dragon quest series, this one included. However, Toriyama did not contribute towards the story or character designs of...

It is!

Just wait until we get into the next volume... I'm going to have side-by-side comparisons to the original series where Brokeena had the flashback scene while fighting mystvearn describing the Spell of Frozen Time... The scenes... some panels... are downright identical right down to the panel...

The same! What I found most interesting was the way they retconned his relationship with Matoriv. In the original series Matoriv referred to him as his brother. In this chapter they show it's not a biological relationship (since he also called Kanon his sister), but instead more of a "brother...

The next few chapters (all of Volume 5, really) go big into Matoriv's back story. I'm sure you're going to like it!

They did! It's ongoing, but it is getting closer to the end. My English translation is about 20 chapters behind... Unfortunately, I can't really do more than one a month being a solo translator (I should give up doing sound effects, it would help make things go faster, but I just can't!), but...

It is! I can't recall at the moment if they reveal his name in the next chapter, but there is absolutely no ambiguity after the first few pages. And this whole series is just old school vibes. I really hope when the prequel is done that the author and artist do a sequel series that takes the...

I know! I thought it was a pretty good throw back... or I suppose throw foreward? The whole series is full of moments like this and I love it.

I do! And you're welcome. I really liked it and after the Knights of Carl went MIA for a few months I figured I might as well figure it out! I had a lot of IRL stuff happen the past few months that kept me away from translating the chapters, but hopefully I won't have to skip any more...

No worries! I'm happy to explain any translation choice I make!

It seems the Italian version localized it. In the manga it is spelled "ソトラッシュ" or "su-to-ra-shu." The official word for it is "strash" and the upcoming game is called "Infinity Strash" because of it. Also, if I recall correctly in the original manga it was described as being between a slash...

The impression I got from this article (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2023-04-05/dragon-quest-dai-no-daiboken-yusha-avan-to-gokuen-no-mao-manga-enters-final-battle/.196794) was that Volume 8 would be the last. I really hope that we have a decent amount more... maybe some flashbacks or...

You're welcome! I'm glad there are people out there who like the series. It's a spin-off of a spin-off of a videogame franchise so it doesn't get much love... but the art and story have been really solid and I love how it has tied into both the games and the old series so well! From what I...
