Dragon Raja – The Blazing Dawn [Season 2 Episode 24]

Dragon Raja – The Blazing Dawn Season 2 Episode 24: A Fiery Finale That Leaves Fans Wanting More

Let’s cut to the chase: Dragon Raja’s Season 2 finale is a wild ride—like, “hold onto your snacks because you might drop them” wild. Produced by Tencent and Studio GARDEN, this Chinese donghua (think anime but Chinese) has been building up to this moment since Lu Mingfei first got that life-altering letter from Cassell College. And Episode 24? It does not disappoint.

First off, let’s recap the chaos. Lu Mingfei, our underdog hero, teams up with his mysterious (and low-key sketchy) buddy Lu Mingze to outsmart the Dragon Emperor Fenrir in a card game. Yeah, you read that right—a card game. But don’t roll your eyes yet; it’s actually tense. One wrong move and boom, the world ends. But Lu pulls through, only to have Fenrir invite him to… watch TV? Talk about a plot twist. Just when you think things can’t get weirder, Chu Zihang (the cool, brooding Dragonslayer) crashes the party. He unleashes his Blood Rage—twice—and pairs up with Xia Mi (the badass A-Rank blood wielder) to beat Fenrir to a pulp. But wait—something unexpected happens. The episode cuts off there, leaving us hanging like a cliffhanger on steroids.

Now, let’s talk about the fans. Over on MyAnimeList, the forum is blowing up. People are losing it over the ending. One user wrote, “I screamed when Chu used Blood Rage again—my mom thought I was being attacked!” Another added, “Xia Mi’s fight scenes? Chef’s kiss. Studio GARDEN really outdid themselves with the animation here.” And can we blame them? The action is smooth, the colors pop, and Fenrir’s design is so detailed you can almost feel his scales.

But it’s not all praise. Some fans are frustrated by the cliffhanger. “Why end it there?!” one commenter ranted. “I need to know what happens next—like, now.” Others are theorizing about the “unexpected occurrence.” Is Fenrir not dead? Did Xia Mi betray them? Theories are flying faster than Lu Mingfei’s card tricks.

What makes this episode work is how it balances humor with heart. The TV scene with Fenrir is weirdly funny—imagine a dragon emperor chilling on a couch with a human—but it also shows Lu’s vulnerability. He’s not just a hero; he’s a kid who’s way in over his head. And Chu Zihang? His Blood Rage moments are epic, but they also hint at his inner struggles. This isn’t just a “good vs. evil” story; it’s about characters growing, even when the world is falling apart.

Let’s not forget the production value. Studio GARDEN’s animation is top-tier. The fight scenes are fluid, the dragon designs are terrifyingly cool, and the soundtrack (by Kohta Yamamoto, who also did Attack on Titan’s music) hits hard. You’ll feel every punch, every roar, every “wait, what just happened?” moment.

For those who haven’t watched yet: Season 2 picks up where Season 1 left off—Lu Mingfei at Cassell College, learning to fight dragons and navigate this crazy new world. Episode 24 wraps up the Fenrir arc but leaves so many questions unanswered. Will there be a Season 3? Fans are begging for it. One MyAnimeList user even started a petition (okay, maybe not, but they did post a thread titled “WE NEED SEASON 3 NOW”).

The bottom line? Dragon Raja Season 2 Episode 24 is a must-watch. It’s got action, humor, and enough twists to keep you glued to the screen. Sure, the cliffhanger is annoying, but that’s part of the fun. It’s like the show is saying, “See you next time—if you can wait that long.”

So, if you’re into underdog stories, epic battles, and dragons that can both destroy the world and binge-watch TV, this episode is for you. Just don’t forget to breathe during the fight scenes. You’ll need it.

Final Verdict: 9/10. The only reason it’s not a 10? That cliffhanger. But hey, anticipation is half the fun, right? Now, excuse me while I refresh MyAnimeList every five minutes for Season 3 news.

P.S. If you haven’t started Dragon Raja yet, what are you doing? Go watch it on Crunchyroll. Your inner dragon slayer will thank you.
