AKIYU REVEALED! | THE DRAGON PRINCE SEASON 5 EPISODE 5 REACTION! | Breakdown, Review + MORE | | 5x5

[@ReelJames]

*We're five episodes into Season 5...so which episode so far is YOUR favorite?!*

[@hannahburke7328]

Episodes 2 4 5 6 7 And 8. 😅

[@pzinfo1487]

7,8, 9, my favorite

[@cc_1eaa.]

im as far into season five as u are rn! so for me, probs ep 4, but we haven't seen anyone else in the intro other than viren. When we see someone else in the intro, that episode might be the best one we've seen! But, idk, I have a feeling that Rayla could turn to stone in the intro instead of Callum, or maybe both, idk why. Something just screams trouble for the gang this season.

[@wawasileh]

Ep 9 it’s just the best you’ll see

[@denizkilic6367]

My favorite is ep 8 it was the best

[@BL-24-8]

I instantly knew that Akiyu was lying. I mean it was quite obvious to be honest but she's such a troll and I love it. Also I feel as a whole this season really took on a more serious tone with its characters, the stakes and the storyline. And they executed it much better than season 4 which is good to see

[@ReelJames]

She's an elf, not a troll! 😂 Kidding, kidding, I know what you mean. The tone is much more serious and I'm glad the humor has gotten better as we get deeper into the season, too.

[@Sloth-gl4np]

I swear this season has the sweetest rayllum moments

[@ReelJames]

It really does! Now..the Rayllum moments in Season 3 were incredible, too, so it's tough to say which season has had better moments, so far. BUT that might be a good video idea! 👀

2 minutes ago?! For some reason I'm always on yt when u post lol! But this episode was insane! Poor Zubeia... I wish it wasn't her that got infected. But , I have a feeling that Aaravos will be able to control the infected since he was the one who destroyed Lux Aurea. This episode was a great one, and I can't wait to see what comes next. My heart broke at the end there, Zubeia is one of my favorite characters. I hope she can fight the infection.

@@ReelJames Ofc! Yeah, I really do feel bad for poor Zubeia. But if I'm right, I'm not gonna be surprised.

[@sarahg6292]

I feel like Ez trying to resolve this without violence by not killing aarvos, which is a good idea. It continues to show how you dont need to use violence to win they is always something else you can do. (This next part has spoilers so be warned) I think the only reason Calum did dark magic both now and in season 2 was because he felt out of oppositions so he picked dark magic useing it as a last resort. I think if he never considered it, then he wouldn't have needed it to save rayla. I think he would have found a new way to save her he found a solution and stuck to it, like with killing Aarvos. Why would they add that if it wasn't important? If he it shows how Calum is willing to do whatever it takes to save his family, his kingdom and the world even dark magic. Sound like anyone? yup, that's right, viren! Calums goings to realize this maby even haveing a new Arcanum brake through!

[@amidoshi03]

Spoilers ahead✨ That goes back to the parallels between Callum and Viren. Remember the sheer amount last season? As well as him always needing to use dark magic to figure out a new arcanum. It's happened twice now. Plus I feel this season is just a giant parallel to S2 in so many ways

[@nicolas._.2294]

I feel like there is a line callum will not cross Not like viren

[@sarahg6292]

@@nicolas._.2294 !Spoilers ahead! I do think calum would never kill something "big" for dark magic like elves dragons and humans. However I don't think viren would before harrow died. It took manipulation from Aarvos for him to cross that line. Who else is being manipulated by Aarvos? Calum! I don't think he will fall for it like Verin however, he has a support system and because calum knows that "he can write his own destiny" he will come to the same conclusion vivren did before he died. This time it's before its too late maby after doing something extremely viren like and soren of rayla points it out. Or maybe even a cool dream where viren warns him telling him to save Claudia and the world from Aarvos and not to fall for his manipulation!!!!!

I liked this episode overall, but one thing that kind of bugged me was how easily Tina gave up the location of the prison. She JUST got finished explaining to them why she would sooner die than tell anyone the location. How could she possibly know that these strangers weren't lying about bad guys being after Aaravos? IMO she trusts them WAY too easily for someone who's apparently been keeping this secret for centuries. I know they needed to keep the plot moving along, but that just seemed a little too convenient for me.

[@nicolas._.2294]

Eh, yea true There might be some reason of why she gave them the answer easy

[@supremeoverlorde2109]

@@nicolas._.2294 Maybe, but if there was, I feel like the show should have established that. The simple fact that the group seems nice and non-threatening isn't really good enough for me. She literally tried to kill them just moments prior to keep her secret safe, so it's weird to think she would just take them at their word with no effort to verify that information.

[@rilindshehu96]

A lot of suspense in this season, a lot of "tragic" moments but I'm kind of disappointed that there were no character deaths. Akiyu as an Archmage was underwhelming. The Karim arc seems to be progressing very slowly, and that's probably intentional, to fill in time. Season 5 was way way better than S4 by far, however. I have a lot to say but I'm getting lazy now.

@@nicolas._.2294 It's to give weight to the overall arc. If Aaravos is this ancient godly evil threat, we should be shown it, not only told. Callum got possessed by Aaravos in s4 and nothing came out of it. Anything could've happened there to make the audience feel the threat of Aaravos instead of just telling us that he's very dangerous and evil. Aaravos' prison being secured should've come with consequences that correspond with the weight of the victory achieved. I don't want any major characters to die either, but I also can't take the show seriously if there are no real stakes. The Finnegrin or whatever saga was pretty well done, however. Callum was forced to use dark magic, but also came out on top as he learned the ocean Arcanum.
