Manga differences

• Masopho does not come through to hole in the wall made by Maam. He now states his name. Removed that he is going back to his stealing "work" once Popp went away.
• Popp's Insignia of Avan faintly glows green when Masopho talks about his last shard of courage. Added a line to push him to go.
• Events are moved around so that they are seen in Masopho's crystal ball and just before Popp arrived.
• Removed Popp's flashback of Avan against Hadlar
• The five pointed star is renamed a magic circle and is now made of overlapping circles
• After being healed by Gomechan's tears, Dai does not emit a golden light
• Removed blood trails left by Crocodine and he is does not cough blood either
• Crocodine's body is retrieved by his Garuda instead of a coffin towed by mean spirits of Zaboera

Trivia

• The Jump Festa 2019 teaser for the series comes from this episode, when Dai catches the sword and prepares an Avan Strash.
