Aug 7, 2024 | epicdope.com | Siddharth Sood

The last and eighth episodes of House of the Dragon season 2 did not include war, as most anticipated. Like many previous episodes, it set up the fights that will come later in season 3.

It’s not surprising that there are a lot of so-called dragonseed, even if the Targaryens never officially recognized them.

Whether it’s because the cost of using them is so great, like the ‘United States of Smash’ by All Might, or because the attack is too epic to be used repeatedly (or to be animated again, honestly), like the ‘Zero Hand’ by Netero, some anime moves are a rare treat, only seen once and making the audience feel privileged to have witnessed them. Let’s take a look at some of the greatest anime attacks used only once that fans know the true loss of never getting to experience again. 10.

Jul 16, 2024 | epicdope.com | Siddharth Sood

“They killed a Dragon! Mark my words, this is a bad omen.”Episode 5 kicks off with screams by locals who are speechless when they hear about Sunfyre’s death. In episode five, the conflicts among the House of the Dragon actors are comparatively distinct. Rhaenyra struggles without Daemon, and now that Rhaenys isn’t around, she feels like she’s lost two of her strongest allies. This causes her to look elsewhere for potential support.
