The Dragon Prince Season 6 Was Amazing

- Sorry this video is considerably late but here we are! Another Dragon Prince Season, the penultimate in fact (until it was later revealed after I had recorded that there could be a whole-other arc coming but that’s for a different video). To say it took me by surprise would be an understatement. It’s of no secret amongst the fandom as of late that this was a stellar season after the two previous failing to live up to the first three. An opinion of which I very much fall into. However, it’s safe to say that this season very much lived up to this series former glory and may ver well be the best season yet. Lot’s to talk about. Enjoy.
Can we please just give Claudia’s voice actor a round of applause? When she was mourning Viren I could barely keep myself together.
RIGHT? racquel outdid herself
@@jinsoulsbetta I mean, the part where she was literally choking on her tears AAAAAAA.
Dude yeah that opening had me choked up
Right she did so good
the first time, yeah. The last one? Not so convincing.
Also Aaravos crying cracked me up, he sounded like a whale, the story hit hit for me, yes, but the voice acting didn't.
God Viren’s last stand was so perfect. Also when Rayla had to choose between her parents. Her choosing Runaan made sense since her parents were at peace and had each other while Runaan wasn’t ok and was alone. Her choices would’ve been to save her parents and leave Runaan or save Runaan and only one of her parents so the choice she made was honestly the best one
This. I feel the same way.
It's also a clever little trick from a narrative perspective, because unless I'm very much mistaken, saving only Runaan means that they still have one Quasar Diamond left.
Runnaan was more of a parent 2 her then her reale parents makes sense she saved him.I wonder what will happen to that last diemond
@@yoshigirl5760What if Kpp’Ar was brought back? Probably unlikely, but I think that could potentially be interesting. Surely, that coin still exists… or was it lost with Katolis? Also, if Kpp’Ar DID come back, could he serve as an example of what Viren could have been had he given up dark magic or was he, similarly, already too tainted by it? Maybe he could help Claudia. Who knows, lol. I want to see more of him, plus we know that he played an important role in both Claudia and Soren’s lives, despite neither of them ever really getting to know him… which makes me wonder “what did they actually know about him, and how old were they exactly when Viren trapped him in the coin?” Sorry! I write too much, lol.
Yeah and also Runaan still has a husband waiting for him to come home.
Crazy how The _Merciful_ one thought that Aaravos dying with his daughter was considered “mercy.” The guy was put in such a hard position that no parent should go through, so it’s hard not to sympathize with him even after all the pain and carnage he caused
Kinda reminds me of what Palpatine once said: "Good" and "evil" is just a point of view
I'm just glad that how we,the audience, recognizes that Merciful One did was wrong and they probably won't understand why killing a child is wrong
That season was horrible
Actually.
Like I'd kind of understand if Aaravos had been warned about his daughter's actions multiple times, and that one of the kids who she taught magic to ended up gravely injuring someone, but as far as we see, this is the first time it's ever been brought up.
Therefore, it is genuinely pretty ridiculous and quite heartless that for Startouch Elves, if you teach magic to humans one time you get killed.
@@bluebird1914 actually this season is crappy
Idk I can somewhat understand the logic that it’s a form of mercy dying with a person instead of mourning them forever. I think it’s supposed to show us that we (and Aaravos) are flawed in a way due to our emotions at least from the startouch Elves point of view.
honestly the star touch elfs KILLED A CHILED FOR GIVEING HER FRIENDS A FIGHTING CHANCES IN THE WORLD
Their logic: You made the people who were literally struggling to survive life easier OH HELL NO
LITERALLY
Not to mention that she's a child, so it's pretty unlikely that she would've known any offensive type magic.
The extent of her magic was probably just teaching kids how to levitate objects.
@@bluebird1914 she is the "unicorn" Leola, if I remember the lore correctly she created primal stones or gifted them to humans, which granted them primal magic. Because they were suffering with hunger and diseases. To kill her for this is pure madness, I can see why Aaravos is so pissed...
@@ultear_yunan They're this world's version of the cia when they discover somebody has cured cancer.
@@ultear_yunan she taught them how to cure cancer and the elf Cia weren't happy
Nah the voice acting wasn’t just decent, but freaking phenomenal!!! Especially Claudia’s voice actor, you could feel all her emotions through that voice acting alone!
Even you have to admit that SP 😭
@@minniemoniekookie the music this season was also the best of the series
@@moon7shinev150 I prefer the season 3 soundtrack myself, but then again, I haven't spent that much time listening to season 6 yet.
Claudia's VA also voiced Strongarm, didn't she?
I really loved Viren and Soren’s interactions. You can tell the writers put a lot of careful thought into their respective arcs. How Soren at first refuses to say anything to him, wanting him to feel the same cold rejection he put him through for years. And then Viren admits to have been cruel to him, and he finally tells Soren he’s proud of him, only for Soren to reject him, believing all of it to just be another lie. And then Viren admits that he doesn’t deserve forgiveness, and just wants to give Soren closure. And the flashbacks showing what he did to save Soren were amazing. The voice acting for Viren was incredible this entire season.
Yes, we finally got the interaction between them we'd been waiting for. Viren's arc was honestly my favorite aspect of this season, next to Aaravos's backstory. I especially thought the part where Soren got angry at him was very realistic because the last time Viren was in prison, he gaslighted him.
Terry deserves better if I'm being honest, we've constantly seen him be an absolute green flag forest of an elf, while Claudia does like... Fuck all. He's honestly starting to remind me of Luka from Miraculous where you're just like "Dude you're great and all, but you need some self-respect" If I was him, i absolutely would've dumped Claudia when she started trying to do the ritual for Aaravos. As much as Aaravos has justifiable reasons for doing what he does, Terry is very right when he points out that the ends don't really justify the means when Aaravos has literally caused a war and countless deaths by this point. Also Aaravos is literally drawing a parallel between him as a father, and Viren, in an attempt to play on Claudia's heartstrings in order to manipulate her, I'm willing to bet that Terry sees right through that and that's why he pointed it out to her. I do believe that Aaravos wasn't lyinf, but at the same time... I could see him pulling a Rick Sanchez and making up a fake sad backstory just to trap someone.
Aaravos' backstory is definitely interesting to me. Like this whole time... I thought they were going in more of a "He was imprisoned because he was getting too big for his boots" type direction, and not one of a grieving father who doesn't care who he hurts. I do like it, but it's still kinda jarring just looking at this guy who you've come to know as a charismatic "I know I'm hot shit" manipulator, turn out to have once been a very sweet and compassionate man. I mean real talk, kids can definitely be different from their upbringing, but I'm definitely willing to bet that a lot of his daughter's kind nature is due to how she was brought up. Also if his backstory is genuine, it does make me question his involvement with Claudia though. If anything, I would've thought that he'd view the whole "father-daughter bond" as sacred, especially since Claudia and his daughter are both magically talented and kind individuals who stick out from the crowd. Plus at this point, I really do have to wonder if the ends justfiy the means. Far as we've seen, Aaravos isn't trying to take vengeance on the people who killed his daughter, or even that he's trying to bring her back. Bro is literally just starting shit because he can.
I'm very intrigued about the dark magic plot point with Callum though. Maybe it was just coincidence but I definitely noticed how in this season, there seemed to be a reoccuring theme of having to use dark magic in dire circumstances:
-Viren used dark magic to cure Soren
-Claudia almost had to use it to save herself from being attacked
-Callum wasn't going to use it, but he did reference having to use it for something dire.
I get the impression that they're setting up Callum having to use dark magic again because there's no other option. Perhaps Rayla almost dies and we get to see her finally apologise to Callum as he gets corrupted by dark magic, as he casts a spell to save her?
Sorren and Viren's whole thing was heartbreaking, I really wish that Viren would've given Sorren those papers. But at the same time I get why he didn't and why Soren didn't want to see him, Viren is genuine, but he really does come off as though he's just trying to excuse his actions rather than genuinely apologise.
Also can we just take a second to talk about how cold Ezran was when he saw Viren?
When Ezran was like "Good, because you don't deserve it." I was like "God damn Ezran, that's cold, justified, but cold"
Props to Ezran though. We've been seeing more and more how he's a much more grounded and action-ready ruler than his father was.
He still fumbles, like how talking to Karem was never going to work, but also he's like 12. I can see him getting more realistic about things by the time he's Callum's age.
Nice COMMENT Bro … 👍( EVERYONE LIKE HIS COMMENT!!! )
I'm not sure if Aaravos can take revenge on the startouch elves like this. But maybe if he causes enough chaos on Earth, they will materialize.
So true with Terry, though. He's the kind of good guy that believes in everyone and tries to fix the people he likes and then stays in a toxic relationship because of it. Not that Claudia is using him on purpose, but she's certainly not doing anything for him anymore.
I feel like Terry insisting on sticking with Claudia through thick and thin, regardless of the lines she crosses, would be more compelling and understandable if there was a flashback or two shown about how the two first met and became a couple. Maybe Claudia was the first person to show him love and kindness when everybody else had rejected him for who he was. That could’ve been a good established reason for why he’s so devoted to her, since he would have absolutely no one else in his life.
Also, I think everything Aaravos has done till this point, mainly in how he sowed chaos between the Elves and Dragons and taught humans how to use dark magic in the first place, IS him getting revenge on the Startouch Elves that killed his daughter. He probably wants to wreck their precious “cosmic order,” which their insistence on maintaining without question got his innocent little girl killed. Plus, he did go out of his way to directly get some extra-deserved payback on Sol Regem, the snitch who sold out his daughter in the first place. Aaravos clearly relished in the old dragon’s suffering more than he has with any of his other victims.
@@q94141 It absolutely would. I do imagine that that's what they were trying to hint at with how Terry is trans and how he wasn't really accepted in his tribe for that, but some more blunt conformation would've be nice.
Because while that's probably the reason, Terry having no self-respect is also a pretty solid reason here given what we've seen of him.
I also keep wondering if they're going to set up some kind of arc where Terry finally says enough and leaves. Maybe they don't, but also I get this feeling everytime I see them together that it is going to happen so idk.
Yeah that's a good point, more surprised though that he hasn't tried giving magic to more humans though. Would've thought that doing the exact same thing that got his daughter killed would from his perspective, be just an extra "Go fuck yourself" to the other elves. Like a "Well if that's sooooo important to you, then how about I just fuck it up?"
To be fair, Sol Regum has literally been nothing but an asshole to everyone.
That case was for sure revenge, but also bro deserved that regardless.
Learning that Aaravos saying "I swallowed her" was probably literal, shattered my brain.
At the end of the season it’s shown he can be giant so he probably did eat her 😭
When did he say that ? HELLO
@@Luvhlix season five
@@Luvhlix To janai's sister in season 5
@@aquataco-4Life oh. It probably was he is a giant. That’s so sad.
I legit got tears in my eyes for Viren writing his regrets on paper. Then sacrificing himself. Aarvos becoming the fallen star makes sense even though I still think it’s messed up.
Excited for season 7.
Aaravos is very manipulative. I still doubt his story.
I just wish Viren didn't burn his confession. He could have just kept it or hidden it.
@@CaptainCretaceous91 i think it was to remove the temptation to be selfish and dump it into sorren
Viren's final spell was cast with love and with the words in the proper direction, instead of backwards. Perhaps he awakened to the star arcanum right before his death?
Also the symbolism was on point this season. And no, I’m not talking about the ship stuck in the ice, I’m talking about that one scene where Viren is in the prison and talking about being done with Aaravos and then the “camera” pans to the spider with the bug stuck in the web. All the interpretations for this make the scene so much better along with Viren’s redemption arc!
Actually all symbolisms were magnificent I didn't like the return of Rallum to tell the truth but is mostly cause of how Rayla was handled but the symbolism with Callum and Viren on the dark magic topic were total peek
I’m honestly glad that the whole “Aaravos is Callum’s father” theory has finally sunk..I mean seriously..so stupid..
If Callum did have elven ancestry that would’ve taken away the special fact that callum 100% human and the first to connect to the arcanums of primal magic..
I do agree with your statement, but I tought I'd been confirmed he's from elven decend through his mom? Wich could also explain ezrans connection to animals.
That was a theory lol?!
@@lassesgamekanaal when/how was it confirmed?
@@fruity4820 idk, thats just something I thought I heared when I first got into the show.
I really enjoyed this season. Viren's last words being "I am a servant" really tugged on my heart. The same words that the former king taunted him with when he got too big for his breeches became his mantra. Yes, he still used dark magic to protect the people of kingdom, but he willingly sacrificed himself instead of someone else.
Seeing more of his backstory was incredibly sad. That bit about Viren forcibly taking his wife's tears was heartbreaking. No wonder she left.
I also wonder if Callum could be cousins with Soren and Claudia since Callum's dad and younger Soren had a very similar sounding disease that made them struggle with their breathing?
Viren's death was the second most heart-breaking moment in the season. The most heart-breaking was him leaving Claudia, which is made even more devastating with hindsight because it's the last time they ever see each other. Not counting Claudia finding his body but the real Viren had moved into the afterlife by that point.
Did he use dark magic, though? He spell didn't work when he was speaking it backwards, it only worked when he spoke it forwards, without the corrupt speech. Maybe he connected with the Sun arcanum, or he discovered an uncorrupted form of magic that he could use because he was sacrificing willingly from himself.
@@lordpessimism Hmm... interesting theories. 🤔
@@lordpessimismi think it’s light magic which is the opposite of dark magic where the user must perform self sacrifice instead of sacrificing others
Best season of Dragon Prince yet
I feel like Viren was redeemed in the season 5 finale and what happened in season 6 proved me right. If that truly was the end for him, then he went out as a hero.
And yes, it was epic and I cried waterfalls at that scene
Hearts of cinder cannot burn
"It's better to die a hero, then live long enough to see yourself become the villain." AKA what Viren did. He watched himself become the villain, pulled back, and realized his mistakes.
Viren shouldn't be redeemed. He shouldn't be forgiven but I feel like he should be able to sympathize with.
I never believed they could actually redeem Viren. But when he said "I am a servant" like Harrow told him in S1, I was sold. Amazing writing and this amazing season
Season 6 by far is best season of all time, everything about this season was perfect from the beginning to the end. I’m already so excited for season 7 and maybe more seasons after.

I don’t blame Aaravos, love when villains burn the world down for their loved ones!😭 Also Soren definitely has something with Corvus, I didn’t think Soren was gay but after this season they were just so cute together! Like pls give that man a happy ending, he deserves it😭 also god do I love Claudia but she keeps making me cry over and over again:(
Yea You remember Old sweet Claudia ? … and Rayllum in this SEASON is Amazing !!!
Not sure how their civilisation survives, seems like half the people are gay.
Honestly I would rather they stay friends. I think it's important for male friends to be able to be friends and just that. Male friendships and just friendships in general tend to be fetishized in an unhealthy way in media alot. Two people can develop genuine respect and admiration for eachother without making it romantic and I want to see more examples of that shown.
@@johncisney15 Gay people aren’t the majority, nor are they the majority in media. I thought they were good friends, but this season made me think there could be something more going on. I do agree that sometimes people fetishize gay relationships a bit too much, but there’s nothing wrong with people reading more into characters and seeing themselves. Sadly, I’ve seen this issue brought up about letting friends be friends, but most of the time, the same isn’t said about straight characters. In general, I just want Soren to have a happy ending, and I can definitely see him having it with Corvus, especially after all that family drama.
@@johncisney15y’all never say this about straight ppl oh my god callum and rayla were paired together the instant they became the two main characters where we’re all the people saying that “it’s important for men and women to just be friends”? and gay ships are not a majority like at all i promise you the vast majority of male x male relationships are friendships including in this show. ppl shipping soren and corvus together does not mean that two men cannot be friends thanks
I sobbed multiple times in this season. Claudia's voice actress in particular was absolutely heart-breaking.
The first time I burst into tears was when Claudia was begging Viren not to return to Katolis. That was some of the greatest voice acting in the entire series. The way she built up the scene, trying to reason with Viren and getting increasingly distressed until she collapsed into incoherent, screaming sobs conveyed so much raw, genuine, and unfiltered pain that she reminded me of Azula's hysterical weeping at the end of ATLA. But unlike Azula's heart-breaking but relatively short sobbing scene, Claudia's scene was drawn out. It just doesn't let up and squeezes every last drop of rage, confusion, sorrow and desperation out of the moment. Having to work herself up into such an emotional state must have been exhausting for the voice actress but she delivered it perfectly.
Then I was sobbing again when Viren sacrificed himself. His last words "I am a servant" were devastating. It was a perfect last stand, finally got rid of Sol Regem for good, and ended Viren's character arc in the most heart-breaking and fitting way possible. And when Claudia found her dad's body, her sobbing was almost as devastating as it was when Viren left her. Almost. Her voice acting in Startouched was so good that she'd already achieved perfection.
Finally, and most surprisingly, I was sobbing when Aaravos lost his daughter. I wasn't expecting to feel sorry for him. Honestly, I didn't WANT to feel sorry for him. I'm one of those people who didn't want him to be sympathetic because I loved that he was basically the Satan of The Dragon Prince universe. Just keep him pure evil and I would have been completely satisfied.
However, the sheer CRUELTY of those Star Touched Elves, forcing Aaravos into a no win situation just because Leola had the audacity to befriend mortals, makes me want him to slaughter the lot of them. They blathered some bullshit about Leola "breaking the cosmic order" but at the end of the day, what they did was outright EVIL. Leola was a child who didn't know any better and they outright murdered her. There's no other word for it. It was cold blooded murder. Even the Merciful One, who showed a bit of compassion by trying to comfort Aaravos, stood aside and allowed the others to do it.
I don't want Aaravos to be redeemed. But I definitely want him to get revenge on those cosmic monsters. All of them. Maybe let the Merciful One live since she wasn't as evil as the others but I want to rest of them DEAD! Preferably in the same state of desperation and terror that Leola was in during her final moments.
I’m so glad someone else was reminded of azula at the end of ATLA. I couldn’t think of anything else
@@meganschulz3632 Racquel Belmonte's voice acting sounded as real and heart-breaking as Grey DeLisle's. And keep in mind that she also had to carry the take for longer because the scene was drawn out as Viren hugged Claudia and walked away. Any voice actress who rivals Grey fucking DeLisle, a legend in the voice acting world, is exceptional.
Also, compare that to when Erik Dellums is crying. Whenever he delivers any of Aaravos' dialogue, he's perfect. He could even make lines that seem forced on paper flow perfectly with my favourite example being:
"What happened to your beloved mate? Who disappeared."
The last 2 words were completely unnecessary and spelled out something that was already obvious, but Dellums still made them sound like something a real person would say.
However, there's one thing Erik Dellums can't do and that's make Aaravos' crying sound real.
"Preferably in the same state of desperation and terror that Leola was in during her final moments"
The despair of their death will be nothing when compared to the despair they'll suffer eternally in the 7th or the 9th circle of hell.
Their sin will be their eventual downfall to the lower circles of Hell.
The only positive thing that can be said about them is that they are not fraudolent, so none of them will end up in Malebolge, the 8th circle of Hell where the sin of fraud is punished.
The fact that everything this season went exactly to Aaravos’s plan was great and I love how dark magic mirrors being corrupted by darkness as he was originally driven by love but now is driven by revenge. The fact that his daughter was the “unicorn” that gave humans magic was cool to. As for Viren’s death I think it was great seeing him return to the man he was before being consumed by darkness and sacrificing himself to save his people because Soren pleaded for him to save them was great
Conspiracy theory: The writers actually listen to criticism. Its like they looked at all the reviews from their fans and changed. Its a sign of good writers
This came out on my birthday, so of course it was gonna be peak. But, being real for a moment, the whole Aaravos backstory generally made me like him even more. It's helps you sympathize and understand why he did the things he did, even if you don't agree or approve by the ways he went about it
Happy late birthday!!!
It came out the day after mine!!! Happy birthday 🎁
Nah fam. When Callum talked about dark magic me and me sibling were joking that it was like drugs. The more the talk went on the more our lungs failed to gibe us oxygen. Like damn Callum, can't say i blame you for picking up that Dark Magic Zaza.
Also, did no one notice gow HUGE aaravos was when he got out? Like...that was his true size? And then what he did to the previous sunfire elf queen.....😶
@@montyoaktuma3580 All of us now get the “I swallowed her” part 😭
Makes me tear of joy with laughter when you said "Dark magic Zaza". Oh boy, I can't imagine Callum doing dark magic as weed
That's why fighting Aaravos is the perfect time to use it! No better time than the 420.
@@montyoaktuma3580They're basically ancient cosmic beings, the celestial elves(If I recall correctly they're called like that, im refering to the sky elves that adore the stars) explained that their physical form is for touching the world, but they're literally stars.

I love how in the starscraper there are staffs like virens of every element and one is missing that turns out to be the star touch one, really nice detail.
What episode ?
4:10-4:22 Hey, you brought up valid points and I still agree with you
I think Rayla was going to apologize after she read the journal because what the captain did to her lover was parallel to what Rayla did to Callum. She IS going to apologize, without Callum stopping her for "politeness" and it will happen
I got that feeling too, and I hope that the writers can definitely find a way to fit in her heartfelt apology at the right moment
I like how virens last two lines mirrored what was told to him in the first or second episode by king harrow about being a servant of katolis.
I KNOW RIGHT? Delicious development, truly.
Yeah Honestly it’s been the BEST SEASON Since Seasons 2-3! Perhaps even the Best Season of the whole show Definitely Worth it!!
Viren’s arc was amazing!! He’s always been my fav, and this season only justified that. It was honestly incredible to see a character succumb to the darkness with good intentions, turn “evil”, and then pull themselves out of it. I’m shocked how well the show handled it! I really needed that closure with him and Soren 😢
Viren's final words of "I am a servant" is so perfect. It calls back to in season 1 when King Harrow calls Viren a servant of Katolis and then again when Viren tells Amaya that he is a servant of Katolis while obviously lying. Now he serves Katolis genuinely by sacrificing himself for its people.
The Dragon Prince in-universe lore is pretty darn good and interesting in a history perspective.
All of the major events that has happened in Xadia so far, from the assassination of king Harrow, to the recent destruction on Katolis. Are gonna someday be ancient history to future generations and no doubt be contributing to Xadia lore.
Callum, Ezran and Rayla's long journey of returning Zym back to his mother would be an epic tale to be passed down to generations, the places they visited would be landmarks and even popular tourist attractions.
Its kinda cool to think that in many years till then, in a modern era of Xadia, young students would be taught about every significant event that had unraveled since then.
That’s exactly what I think about too! It’s so cool to experience the world and still have so much to learn about everything like creatures, magic, customs, stories…the writers did a amazing job of creating such an alive world with a story and characters that are complex. For me, it’s not just the story and characters but the overall feel of the world that has been built and the way it feels so real!
@@Shadowsreverieexactly! And not to mention how history as you know it, can change and evolve over time, there are unsung heroes and untold stories in Xadia that have likely been lost to time, stories the main cast may never know, or even BECOME the lost lore the cast could be, which is unlikely due to their impact in changing the world, good or bad.
Viren's final confession to Soren, for example. Stories like that are a tragedy that the world may never know
Aaravos has always had a reason behind his actions. If we look back across the seasons, there are subtle hints that his story went much deeper than being 'evil for the sake of evil'. No, what happened doesnt excuse any heinous acts, but he's also justified (in my opinion). How many of us could say we wouldmt start a villain revenge ark for the one we love, if put in the same position? I'm beyond excited for the next season, because everything's changed now that he's out of his prison. And did anyone else notice that his house in the flashback is the same as inside the pearl? They gave him his home, but at the same time, he certainly had to have had so mamy reminders of Leola in there.
It is not even the same for us as it would be for him. He may know the truth about the afterlife for his kind in this world, so he might not be able to take any solace in faith.
I think it's collectively agreed that all of us hate the rest of the Startouch Elves and that prophecy they spoke of, was created because of them. Remember, the path one takes to avoid their destiny is the one that leads them straight to it. So, by killing Aaravos' daughter, they set into motion all the events.
That's exactly what I thought too. They were so obsessed with preserving their "order" and avoiding whatever prophecy they saw that they ended up creating a monster who would go on to ensure the prophecy came true. All just to spite them. It's terrible, but also kind of poetic.
@@supremeoverlorde2109 It's something I learned from the God of War franchise. Fate works off of your perception of yourself and everything around you. And how you are currently. You can change your fate, but what is meant to happen at the end of the day will still happen. It'll just happen differently as you change and your involvement changes.
Fate can't be avoided, but you can change the circumstances of your fate.
While I’m pretty sure the story won’t go this way. I would like it if Aaravos’ back story was either completely untrue or keeping in his character partially true but leaving key details out. His story just seems way too perfect for
Claudia. Him being a loving father (Claudia’s dad just died) his daughter teaching magic to humans (Claudia feelings on humans not being given anything). Aaravos says all the right things depending on who he is talking to.
Honestly, I think it might be just plain true. There may be some embellishments, but the core statements make far too much sense. What else could motivate an immortal being who has been around for thousands of years to devote his full existence to revenge?
Kinda curious about Sol Regem flying all the way to Katolis to attack there. Like, did Aaravos using the other guy as a puppet suggest it? "Do you actually want to attack the sunfire elves? I could help you attack the humans instead. . ." Cause I doubt he would fail to realize that he had gone much too far for the intended battlefield.
Aaravos manipulated pharos. Maybe he said that the cause of lux aurea becoming the way that it did and them welfoming humans was because of katolis so he made pharos guide sol to katalos
that talk Viran had with Soren where he was giving him his last words about how proud he is of him, hows its not his fault and how hes giving these words to Soren for when he needs them most was so heartbreaking for me as someone that has lost a parent. it hit me coz u will never hear them again. i also thoought it was interesting that Viran along with the Sky elves talked about not harming someone with the truth and how Viran didn't by the end give Soren his confession. honestly the best season coz it felt like no time was wasted, a lot of things felt like it was tying up a bit for the next season. i found myself way less frustrated with this season compared to the last one
I’m still very curious about the Merciful One. They were the one to propose mercy to Aaravos and Leola and then they were the one to go see Aaravos as he’s mourning
Aaravos is PowerFull ? Or This elfs is MORE Powerfull ?!
Frankly, the Merciful One was barely any better than the rest of those monsters. She made no attempt to actually defend Leola.
@@tomnorton4277 In Aaravos's flashback to her appearing to comfort him, I was expecting him to just kill her once she was done talking. Because how dare she comfort him for a death she caused?
Legitimately shocked they portrayed the death of a scared child onscreen, damn. Whats the rating of this show again??

He's the SOL reason for all their worlds problems. (Pun intended)
There's also the question if he lied about her giving magic to humans because he wants to see humans suffer.
@@lockskelington314 I wouldn't put a past hin
Good Riddance.
The only things I like about Sol Regem are his design and his voice actor. His personality is just irredeemable. Now that we know Aaravos' backstory, I can say that Sol Regem's the most evil character in the entire show. So fuck him. He deserved what he got in the end.
I absolutely loved the music this season and the pictures for flashbacks was perfect
This is really what I was hoping for. A series with a dip in the middle will be remembered far more fondly than one that peters out towards the end. I hope series 7 can keep this ball rolling!
I had just gotten back from Ireland after my grandfathers funeral and it was just what I needed. As you said; felt more like classic Dragon Prince; it was sweet and tragic and compelling and great.
My condolences 🙏
The issue of Aravos possessing people through dark magic seems a little strange, he clearly tried to possess Viren when he was in prison and Viren expelled him with his willpower, but both Callum and the solar priest couldn't resist
Probably an issue off experience and will power
@QuirkyWolfSwiftie15 He can no longer be possessed
Did Aaravos only freak Callum out to get him out of Katolis? 🤔 Why else would Callum have the vision of being inside the pearl?
I think that's because for some reason Aaravos didn't have a body.
I mean look at that weird ritual that set him free from the pearl, It sounded like magic for making a vessel for the soul than freeing someone from confinement
I think it's simply viren's experience, like callum is top shit with arcane magic and even with that he fails because he's a prodigy but lack the experience, and viren has done a lot of shit (specifically with dark magic which is also important) to which I think is the reason why only he could resist.
Also that sun mage was just a peasant i'm willing to bet the sun prince is a better mage.
I loved season 6! I think this and season 3 are my favorite seasons of the show so far.
Same
Me Too. ☀️🌟 And Not Just Cause Of Rayllum. ❤
I get the feeling the line from the celestial elves about that sword being given to a human girl might be hinting at a possible prequel down the line. I remember a while back there were rumours about one, called the Orphan Queen?
I *really* wish they'd cool it with the referential/meta stuff, especially Callum saying "ship" probably over a dozen times over the course of like 10 seconds
Bro, I've been getting vibes from Soren and Corvus since their short story together. Maybe I should just put on my clown makeup now, but I bet they become a thing next season
I will cry myself to sleep if they don't get together
The viren scene at the end was just beautiful well down wonderstorm this was amazing
That beach where Claudia cutt off her leg was BAAAD it looked like they put the background in last minute! Soooo glad the other backgrounds where good
I agree, that this may be the best season. I loooved lord virens character arc. The mechanics and new concepts that they explained in this season were so interesting.
Season 1 got my attention, season 2 kept my attention
Season 3 was when I was attached, and then Rayllum happened and I was in love
Season 4 broke my heart, season 5 was amazing, and season 6.
Oh my god, season 6, especially the last 3 episodes, my jaw still hurts from my jaw being open for more than an hour.
I don’t like romance, well, I don’t like only romance, I like the romance like in this show, the mainly action adventure with a romantic subplot, I live for it.
I don’t cry, I beat ghost of Tsushima, the last of us, all of The Witcher 3’s endings, yet the only one that made me cry was Red Dead Redemption 2. I’ve never cried during shows or movies either. This is the only time I got real close.
Amazing story, amazing everything, I may be turning 17 in a few months, but I’m completely fine being obsessed with this show
Dude this show is amazing. No shame in loving it at all. I opened the first episode of season 6 thinking, "Is it gonna be the best? No. But I'll watch it just for old time's sake." And the opening sequence??? Gagged. I fell in love with the show again
Corvus and Soren most DEFINETLY have something. The way they looked at each other- that wasn't just friendship, that was like how Rayla and Callum look at each other. I just cant wait for season 7!!!!!!!
Yes! And the way they were always placing their hand on each other’s shoulders
Y’all think any interaction between friends make them gay 😂 💀
youve never had a friend huh
Im ao fucking mad that nobody believed Viren's redemption. And then he wrote a whole ass story for soren and ended up burning it then dying😭🙏
Virens side story was perfect. The repent and sorrow for his actions, leading him to return to katolis just to find no mercy. And all the letter sequence was prob one of my favourites from the whole show. After season 4 and 5 disaster (being season 5 a lil better), season 6 just hits the spot, showing a few times how things for the MCs not always go as they would like, like the need for rayla to choose between her biological fathers and runnan because theres no enough stones, or Avaros being liberated of his prision although all of the efforts to stop him, which shows a more mature and realistic way of developing the story, backing up from the childish style we saw in season 4. At the end I feel like the Wonderstorm is listening to their fans on what they did wrong in season 4 and 5, and now are trying to fix it.

This season went REALLY HARD. In a good way. Rayla not being able to save her parents? Viren's final moments before death and Claudia's breakdown after finding his corpse? Aaravos' backstory and his daughter being killed IN FRONT OF HIM? Sol Regem dying by eating a guy then choking and burning? (Admittedly, though, I didn't really care for that one. I agree SCREW THAT GUY!) Damn.
Aaravos' daughter in general... just... ugh... a punch in the gut. The way she was all "Daddy I'm scared!" and he tries his hardest to stay calm to make her last moments easier, then him breaking down was so painful to watch. I know this is very likely not going to happen, but I want Leola to be revived. Or at least let her executors get their justice. She was a CHILD. Not to mention they are partially responsible for what Aaravos became, and the torment he inflicted upon the world.
But with dark magic and corruption, I'm not sure what they are trying to say. So Viren only used it because he was desperate to save Soren, but everyone is acting like he made the wrong choice like he should've let Soren die... come on, DON'T tell me any other parent wouldn't do the same thing if they were in his shoes. And dark magic saved the day in episode 8. Also, side note but if Lissa was so scared of Viren then why didn't she try to take the kids with her?
But yeah, greats season overall. Hope they continue this streak with season 7 and forward!
@@theaboveaveragefangirl "But with Dark magic and corruption,I'm not sure what they're trying to say. So Viren only used it because he was desperate to save Soren,but everyone is acting like he made the wrong choice..."
Yeah, that part confuses me too. It's like the writers want to have their cake and eat it too. Part of me thinks that maybe Aaravos will "take back" the Dark magic in Soren and the Dragang will be confused and scared for Soren's life. Rayla and the rest of the gang are told by Aaravos: "Well,the whole reason Soren is alive AND walking is because of Dark magic. 😏 Y'know, the same thing you think is eternally evil,Rayla."
Rayla: "😳 Uhhhh"
Aaravos: "Well, you can either keep your beliefs alive and unmoving or you can keep Soren alive. Can't have your cake and eat it too,your choice."
And they,of course, agree to have Dark magic back to keep Soren alive. Rayla would realize that she was being stubborn like Viren once was and understand that that did more harm than good.
At least, that's my theory on how season 7 should go
@@DragonGoddess18 There's also the thing in a season 2 flashback where Viren and Harrow agree to kill a magma titan to grow more food from a terrible famine. I get it, lives are lives, but it was either the magma titan or 100,000 people losing their life. And let's not forget how Sol Regem burned a city for using dark magic, even though they were desperate to stay alive and dark magic was their only solution. Honestly, the Xadians are the problem, especially when you consider that they killed Leola for giving humans magic, even though it was organic.
@@theaboveaveragefangirl Yeah. As Janai said about the old story, "King of 1,000 eyes": Fear is a self-fulfilling prophecy
Also, when thinking about that season 2 flashback, it just proved to me that Harrow wasn't as smart as he thought he was. To starve your own citizens to help your neighbors is stupid and frankly,I was on Viren's side. You gotta put logic above being idealistic. More importantly, there was no Primal magic solution to it so the Magma titan's heart was their best solution in helping feed 100,000 innocent people. Especially since Harrow was the one who made a bad situation worse
I think Callum is going to be forced to use Dark Magic to imprison aaravos in the coin
It seemed to me that you need Viren's staff to do that. But that staff is now missing the Quasar diamond, so maybe it's not working anymore
@@duusu2608 they have an unused quasar diamond.
LETS GO MORE DRAGON PRINCE!!!
i love this show honestly so glad Smarty Pants made a video on season six i mean we all knew it'd happen but im a bit impatient 😅
5:25 That just sounds very reductive from the story point of view. Acting as if Callum is incapable of self-control when the opposite is true.
I said it before and I'll say it again: I don't think the problem is 100% Dark magic. I think the problem is the attitude. Always assume the worst and you'll get the worst,life has a funny way of giving you what you want. Remember when Janai brought up the story of "King of the 1,000 eyes"? Fear is self-fulfilling prophecy
That is proved when those pathetic elves killed leola in fear of humans misusing magic. Aaravos then for revenge helps humans. They fulfilled their own prophecy.
FINALLY a RUclipsr that acknowledges how good this season was
So glad after season 4 and 5 to see the show back in full form.
I am praying that this show doesnt end like voltron season 8 did🙏🙏🙏

@@ultear_yunanI cackled at that
Tbh Voltron kept going down and down, I remember people also absolutely hating season 7, so nah I don't think it will
TL;DR AT THE BOTTOM:
point on the voice acting -- especially this season, it was phenomenal. as an aspiring VA, i do a lot of studying when it comes to pros, and jack de sena (callum) and racquel belmonte (claudia) have really shown us that, this season and throughout the series. claudia's absolute hysterics when it came to viren must have been *extremely* difficult to pull off for racquel -- claudia is now an expressive morally grey all-or-nothing personality, and seeing her cry and scream as much as she did can only be portrayed with voice acting. now, to jack de sena and the absolutely beauty of his subtlety. if you've seen atla you know him as sokka, but especially this season where they depict callum in a near "emo" type of way, notably the first time around after when kosmo told him he took the wrong pearl and suggested that he try to redeem himself. his "nope, can't do it, i'm sorry" felt so absolutely human. with those few words, there are so many emotions going into that one line. justification, sadness, disappointment, embarrassment, failure.... jack de sena's subtlety in his voice work in general is absolutely incredible. another line i'll note was in season 2 (i think) where he says to rayla "i can't do anything!" though it may have seemed like another line, the slight crack in his voice on the downbeat (suffix "ing") along with the stiffness the line was said with (no inflection in voice) showed his frustration, inferiority complex, anger, resentment, in just one line. (sorry. i'm a big fan of jack de sena)
TL;DR: jack de sena is really good at subtlety in voice acting and racquel belmonte did a great job with claudia's expository emotions this season.
this season was amazing!
the voice acting was very good, especially Claudia’s, Soren’s, and Viren’s performances
i loved the animation and score as well
loved Viren’s redemption and getting Rayllum back
this season was definitely the darkest, and i’m all here for it!
i’m super hyped for season 7
A reason why i love tdp is because unlike something like miraculous ladybug who over stays its welcome makes a predicting plot tdp has twists and turns and good cliffhangers which makes funs even more intrigued and i love Aaravos because you cannot forgive him from what he did but you can sympathize with him and feel bad for him, maybe even want him to win in the end? I hate what they did to his daughter (and uhm wonder who the wife is) but also love that ends going to do everything just as revenge for his own daughter. Id be happy if either one wins
Season 6 was so good! As I withdrawal Im so grateful for your video.
season 6 reminded me so much of the earlier seasons of TDP.... thanks for this video!!
The thing I like the most in dragon prince are the parallels between Callum and viren like the first time callum used dark magic he used it because he otherwise felt useless and Viren screaming into the mirror he feels powerless and useless and things like them both especially in the later seasons saying so many simular things or even just that callums Robe looks pretty simular to s1 Viren and I just love that the show gives these subtle hints and know that some viewers will pick it up
And tbf I kinda wanna see Callum go all dark mode simular to Viren in S3 maybe even a guilt trip for other characters like his brother kinda overseeing him for some time (hes King but still), his GF leaving for years with no word and also him feeling alone, forgotten and left could make for a AWESOME story line if done right
(My dude do be beaten up a lot)
OMG YES IF SORVUS (soren and corvus) DOESN'T HAPPEN IN SEASON 7 I'M GONNA RIOT. Soren literally PICKED HIM UP TWICE.
“It might take another year” WE ONLY GOTTA WAIT TILL THIS DECEMBER THOUGH 🔥
I’m so very happy that we finally got a great season again from this show.
I had never cries this much while watching a movie or series before, ever. But episode 8 broke me. First i was so afraid and angry, then just sad. You know, when the expected thing doesnt happen and instead the other thing happens
Am I the only one in this fandom who just really doesn’t get the hate for Seasons 4 and 5? Like, people criticize them for being “too lighthearted” but they forget that The Dragon Prince has ALWAYS been a kids’ show, and seasons 4 and 5 introducing more darkness meant they HAD to also introduce more lightness or else it would be too scary for its target demographic. The show literally CAN’T be all darkness all the time, guys. Also, Terry is the second best character after Soren, and I WILL die on this hill.
While there were low points in seasons 4 and 5, I wouldn't say the entirety of the previous seasons were bad as there were definitely moments that stuck out like signposts that were later referenced in other seasons. The voice acting was mostly excellent such as Aaravos' and Claudia's pained crying and screaming as well as the fact "Moment of Truth" recreates the reunion as both Rayla and Callum have moved closer to bridging the "broken" relationship after her return in 4x01 and choosing to instead go from an awkward "Hey, I'm back" to admitting their feeling solidified how far they've come.
Seeing small moments like Callum and Rayla trying to reconnect helped show that they were building towards the confession in "Moment of Truth" while Terry's devotion to Claudia seemed like the only thing that actually kept her grounded instead of focusing on a "quick fix," especially when he called out how Aaravos' actions "may have started out good" before becoming dark. The fact his last interaction with Viren was of being treated almost like a son showed how far Viren had come when in Season 4 he'd merely looked at him as an annoyance, and this proves Viren felt capable of leading Claudia "out of the darkness" even if he knew she was becoming lost in darkness
My biggest issue was that Zym was basically absent.
The Dragon Prince was missing in The Dragon Prince.
That is, until the reveal that this season revolved around a different dragon prince.
It was amazing, but I feel like Karim should have appeared in chains after the battle even though it was clear that Janai already won and they could have made it less obvious that Callum was manipulated into switching the real pearl with the fake one, like if the fake pearl didn’t glow.
Also, the thumbnail should say “Oh How The Tables Turn” not “Turn Tables”
you clearly don't know the AMAZING meme of "oh how the turn tables" from The Office
Now it’s time to forget TDP for a year and be surprise, when the seventh season is coming out in like a month or two
Pretty sure araavos led sol regem to his death as a revenge for basically killing his daughter😅
Viren literally the best character with a lot of depth and tragedy, which leads to his kids also hsving a lot of depth and interesting characters as well ❤
I think Callum and Ezran will forgive Runaan, they did forgive Zubeia for sending the assassins in the first place
Am I the only one who got supper surprised when I saw how big Aaravos actually was?! 😂 Like, hello, that's why he's so big in the main theme hahaha
My favorite season yet!! Just speechless by the voice acting, story development, lighting, animation, pacing... and I mean we got Rayllum back!! And the jokes werent super bad, they actually make me laugh. (Thinking about Callum in episode three "Rayla, Im here!" *SLAM*)
Ya Claudia, after she told her new elf boyfriend not to follow her as she walked away came back for no reason .
It would make more sense if after she left through the big bushes, elf boy would at first feel conflicted about going after her or heed her words but decides to go after anyways because he cares about her. He runs through the bushes and to find Claudia already collapsed on the ground then we get to see him looking after her.
The show is not perfect but I do enjoy watching it.
Animation is the movements and Artstyle is how it looks like.
The last episode in season six made me cry so much especially when Aravos talked about his daughter I just got so sad
What really gets me is that Aaravos was imprisoned in his daughter's ribcage at the bottom of the inland sea he cried himself. It is the most cruel prison they could have thought of.
This season does do a lot right when compared to the past two seasons, don’t get me wrong. A much better story, character moments, voice acting, all amazing.
BUT a major problem that really bothered me and has affected the past two seasons, is the noticeably more wooden animation. Just compare Callum facial expressions when he yelled Raylas name after she fell off the storm spire in the third season, and when he calls for her to get out of the ship while it is sinking in the sixth season. Callums face shows wayy more emotion in the storm spire scene, very clearly distraught by what happened in front of him. But in the ship scene, his expression is hardly different than what it is in every other scene, despite still being in a tense, likely still life threatening situation. In short there’s less expression and emotion shown in the animation. Not zero, but noticeably less, and it really bothers me
Season 7, Please Come Already ASAP! And Start Developing Arc 3 Too! 😭
If the incorporeal startouch elves can just suck a suspect out of reality to execute them as punishment for giving humans magic, I'm kinda confused how Aaravos wasn't killed for supposedly being _the_ reason humans have any magic. I'm hoping that gets addressed in some way
My best guess is that nobody knew Aaravos was behind it. Sol Regem did tell on Leola.
I knew as soon as Sol was flying towards the kingdom that Viren would sacrifice himself. But what pushed me over the edge wasn’t him cutting out his own heart instead of sacrificing Soren. No, it was him kneeling down and chanting “I’m a servant” over and over, just like King Harrow commanded him to do in season 1. Full circle, like poetry.
Though is it bad that when Sol didn’t show up to the battle that I cheered and instead he showed up Katolis I immediately thought this is only slightly less bad. Damn the writers knew what they were doing baiting us with an episode title like Red Wedding.
This season made me go 99% on board with Aaravos, the 1% being reluctance that he’ll get Claudia hurt.
I get what they were going for with Aarovos. His daughter pulled a Prometheus so the Star touched elves killed her which made Aaravos pull a Lucifer.
But damn it even Prometheus got off with a slap on the wrist and an eagle eating his liver. Not Death. AND THEY MADE HIM WATCH AS THEY KILLED HER. No wonder Aarovos turned evil. He should be straight up out for blood.
And Sol Regem. Legit screw that guy he deserved that millennium of blindness and everything else for what he did.
Although the scene where the Frozen ship sank while burning and you see a shot where it says Rayllum... It scares me. It's giving me a lot of anxiety for season 7
I WANT CORVUS AND SOREN TO SMOOCH SO BAD JUST ONCE PLEASE THEY BELONG TOGETHER I LOVE THEM SM
I will cry if they don't
SAMEEEE THEY NEED TO BE CANON
I felt everything you said. I just finished binging it today. "I want another season, and I want it NOW!" 😅
I think the creators know they cooked with this season and thats why they have season 7 ready by december
4:13 Honestly, I was more than a little put off by the way Rayllum got back together. They basically said, "It's Callum's fault that there has been any drama to begin with." Like what?
If I could rewrite their reconciliation, it would be something like this:
*Rayla is lying on her hammock while Callum is sitting on it.*
*Rayla:* Callum, aren't ye goin' to bed?
*Callum:* Rayla, I- The truth I've seen was that... I don't have to be afraid anymore.
*Rayla:* Of Aaravos?
*Callum:* ...Of love.
*Rayla sits up:* W-What d'ye mean?
*Callum sighs:* When you returned to Katolis, the anger I had felt after you left returned too. But... we've been through so much together since then. And yet, I didn't even want to share a blanket with you.
*Rayla:* Well, I can't blame ye.
*Callum:* Huh?
*Rayla:* Callum, I left ye cos I thought I had no choice. I thought ye'd understand and that we cud get back together but... Now I see that leavin' ye wis the worst mistake of ma life.
*Callum:* Hey, that's all in the past. We're here now.
*Rayla stands up:* Even so, I never told ye how sorry I wis. I wis so afraid you'd die cos of me that I lied to ye and broke yer heart...
*Callum stands up:* It's okay. I know what fear can make you do. *Callum steps closer.* But you've seen the truth too, haven't you?
*Rayla steps closer:* Yes. A wise person told me that when ye trust the one ye love, ye are stronger together.
*Callum holds her hand:* I love you Rayla.
*Rayla:* I love ye too, Callum.
*they kiss*
*Rayla:* And I trust ye.
*Callum:* I know.
You did a better job than what the witers of the show did here
They definitely could’ve handled it better, but it certainly isn’t the worst way
I just finished the season and my tears have now run out.
Gotta love that Lord of the Rings reference by Soren😂😂
Viren's death actually made me tear up..I always liked him as a villain and character in general - gotta love pathetic men sometimes 😂😄
but yeah, his end was the right thing to do. I feel like him getting back from death like what.. twice? Just adds to the urge to just let him die.. and they delivered.
What the council did to Aaravos.. I hope they'll eat it up to the last scrap.. and savor every bite of the sweet cold revenge he surely has planned from start to finish
this was such a great season but does anyone else wanna know more about aithne solaire? sol regem/anak arao/the og dragon prince's partner that aaravos said he buried alive, im so confused there but it seems so intriguing and i love those flashbacks and parts about character's past and background, they always add so much depth to the characters and are done so well by the writers
This season had a lot of heartbreaking scenes
Its an amazingly good show. The true spiritual successor to avatar the last airbender
When I saw the episode titled, the Red Wedding, it gave me chills remembering GoT, but I was pleasantly surprised when they did the bait and switch with Sol Regem, and the Sun Priest controlling him being Aaravos’s puppet. I love how they reveal how much Aaravos planned ahead for his return, from swapping the quasar diamond on the crown with a fake and putting the real one in the staff he gave to the humans centuries ago, to how he figured Sol Regem would be so arrogant he would rather have his wings back over his eyes, it being a metaphor for not only is he blind physically, but his own arrogance blinds him to being manipulated by Aaravos. It seems the Sunfire Elves and Sun dragon’s biggest weakness is their arrogance, which thematically makes sense. The previous Sunfire Elf Queen allowed Viren to get close to the source of their power, destroying their city and making the nation refugees, to Kareem’s arrogance blinding to Aarovos’s machinations. My love for the show faded after I was disappointed with season 4, but this season has me excited for what will come next.
