2 Spike episodes in 1 season?
VastaKustutaAMAZING!
FIRST PLEASE!
VastaKustutaThis... should be good.
VastaKustutasuper awesome AMAZING
VastaKustutainb4 SPIKE QUEST
VastaKustutaAm I the only one who immediately thought Brodyquest? xD
VastaKustutaOMG
VastaKustutaThis sounds awesome, sure it's accurate?
VastaKustutaWill he find out he truly belongs with twi or will he still leave for real one day? I hope we get some more on him and Rarity too.
VastaKustutaFirst thought SKYRIM twighlight!!!
VastaKustutaRPG mashups and parodies incoming
VastaKustutaI wonder if the other Mane 6 will show up, or if this episode will be entirely Spike focused with a different setting
VastaKustutaSpike is now best Erderick.
VastaKustutaWhy must time move so slow? This sounds awesome and ay waaant it noow.
VastaKustutaI wonder what the last 5 episodes will be like
VastaKustutaWHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
VastaKustutawtf Gift of the Night Fury
VastaKustutaDragon Quest games = GREAT!!
VastaKustutaSpike/Spike episode = BOO!
our opinion, don't cause a childish flame war.
I'll admit, while I didn't hate them, I personally wasn't too impressed with the previous two Spike-centered episodes.
VastaKustutaThird times the charm? I'm at least intrigued by the description.
Spike going to Skyrim?!
VastaKustutaAfter today, it will be 2 weeks before we see a new episode
VastaKustutathis is going to be epic cant wait
VastaKustutaThis could either be deep and fascinating, or a bit cliché. Time will tell, but it sure sounds interesting.
VastaKustutaSpike is best baby dragon :) he is one of my fav characters even tho so many people seem to not :P
VastaKustutaHow long before Square Enix sues?
VastaKustutaSounds like a great idea for a fanfic. Oh wait...
VastaKustutaWait, wait. Is this actually called "Dragon Quest"? That's awesome.
VastaKustuta-=Dragon Quest=-
VastaKustutaI heard of an announcement of the Great Dragon Migration, and thought it would be a good way to find out who I really am. With my things packed, and me succesfully out of Twilight's House, I head up north to join my brothers.
------------------------------------------------
() Head North to meet Dragons at Great Dragon Migration
(*) Sneak out of Twilight's house without being discovered
(*) Fake Sleep until Twilight Sparkle is fully asleep
(*) (Optional) Pack Scroll Paper, ink, and bird feather
(*) Pack things and hide things under bed
This looks to be a very in-depth episode...with a lot of history on the dragons in Equestria.
VastaKustutaHow exciting! I'd imagine the Mane 6 will be saddened by this turn of events. Especially Twilight.
VastaKustutaWait, wasn't this was a video game or something...
VastaKustutaThis actually sounds like a pretty awesome episode! Im really looking forward to seeing some more dragons!
VastaKustutaOh my
VastaKustutaSounds like an interesting episode. Unfortunately it's going to completely destroy the "It takes a Village" back-story, but if handled well, it could be awesome. I hope we can see more of dragon culture and maybe learn about about Spike's clan.
VastaKustutaWhere is my Scootaloo episodes x_x?
VastaKustutaOh wow, just by the summary alone, I know that I'm going to love this episode.
VastaKustutaIt's gonna be really fun to learn about what the Great Dragon Migration is about and more about Dragon's in general, and the fact that it's Spike centered makes it all the better for me!
I'm totally stoked to see this episode, it's gonna be a tough wait. XD
This sounds like it's gonna be good. It's good to have another Spike episode.
VastaKustutaA serious Spike episode? Sounds amazing!
VastaKustutaSo Spike having an existentialist crisis and making a life-changing journey? Sounds promising.
VastaKustutaI was hoping for another Spike episode before season two ended! Seriously, two episodes of best dragon in a single season makes me a happy camper. <3
VastaKustutaThanks, DHX. DON'T LET ME DOWN! DX
(PS: I know you guys won't. ;D)
@slifertheskydragon Oh my Celestia your right, shits gonna go down!
VastaKustuta@INVDAER-GRIM Eenope.wav
VastaKustutaI can't wait for this episode! Everyone quick! Make "SPIKEQUEST" videos!
*takes off glasses* Mother of God...
VastaKustutaHe was dragonborn, now he must quest with dragons.
VastaKustutaThis has potential. We know almost nothing about dragon society or Spike's role in it.
SO MANY QUESTIONS ANSWERED!
I almost hope that Hasbro flexes it's "We hold the rights to D&D LOL" muscles for this one.
@Bronyhub
VastaKustutai don't get why people get bothered by canon destroying fanfic back stories. so fucking what? are you living and dying by that backstory? If so, you have bigger problems than canon steppin on your toes.
might not really guys, might not really maybe...
VastaKustutaAll I'm saying is he better fight some slimes.
VastaKustutaOkay, nopony else has said it so I'll get it out of the way:
VastaKustutaSpike has to find himself.
I'm sorry, but you know this will be a common theme in fanart going into it.
Fanfic content +17
VastaKustutaIn the Crusaders' clubhouse, Scootaloo silently wept. "Why doesn't anypony want to see me?" she asked. The maps, charts, and other crusading paraphernalia did not respond.
VastaKustutaSlowly, she pulled the newspapers over her shivering body and cried herself to sleep.
Eh, I'm not too excited for this. I mean, we all know that Studio B will make it great, but... Eh. I guess I don't value Spike as a character. Still interested to see how this comes out, though. Hooves crossed! (Somehow...)
VastaKustutaBefore I post my thoughts, I gotta say:
VastaKustutaYeaaaaaaaaah, baby, yeaaaaaaaaah!!!!
Okay, I'm done with that part. I had a feeling we'd get another Spike episode before the second season ended. I would have been surprised, if that were to not happen. This may actually turn out to be even better than the last one. Like any other episode, though, I don't want to get my expectations too high, but dang, as a Spike fan, that's going to be really hard for me to do. I seriously cannot wait for this one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chpGM5gHCxI
VastaKustutaIf someone doesn't mod a Dragon Quest game to have ponies now, I'll be disappoint.
VastaKustutaPersonally I love Spike. He's never been used properly in a story line in my opinion, so here's hoping now in the cartoon's genesis they have something planned that'll be great! I have high hopes for this episode! Oh, if only Lauren Faust was still around! She'd make sure Spike got a proper session in character development!
VastaKustutaAnother great synopsis. Now the wait...
VastaKustutaAnother Spike episode? Interesting. I was a bit disappointed by the last episode I expected background information from (Hearth's Warming Eve), so I'm not getting my hopes up in that respect. Spike could really do with an awesome episode, though, so let's hope it's a great one.
VastaKustutaWow, some more Spike. Spike has certainly been getting a lot more airtime lately. Which is nice. And Dragon Migration? Well... that's interesting. They migrate. lol
VastaKustutaSpike doesn't see that it's such a great thing... because he meets the Dragonborn?
VastaKustutaIM SO FREAKING EXCITED ja;sfjalskjf i cosplay spike annd....yesss...just yesss. hopefully we'll find out more about him and why he doesnt have wings. migration sounds like FLYING to me :3
VastaKustutaIncoming Brody Quest song!
VastaKustutalooks like Twi is gonna need a new royal serf... or Owl-delicious is getting quite a coupla extra chores
VastaKustutaFirst initial thought?
VastaKustuta"Square Enix better put Spike in the next Dragon Quest game now."
Awwww, here I was hoping for a new Dragon Quest game with a Friendship Is Magic theme.
VastaKustuta...Nintendo, SqureEnix, get to that!
Adrian Brody, Adrian Bro-dy...
VastaKustutaWell now, this is unexpected. I'll still keep on my "expect the worst" side of the street, as there is a myriad of ways this can be ruined with rampant silliness, but an episode with great worldbuilding potential like that is something I didn't expect to come up.
VastaKustutaSpike?
VastaKustutaPossibly meeting other dragons?
Anyone getting any G1 vibes just now?
I sense some extreme world building in preparation for the Cadence episodes!
VastaKustutaHopefully the next 3 after this will elaborate some more on Equestria and the lands surrounding it before everypony gets whisked away to Alicorn land for the wedding.
well this sounds like the best thing ever.
VastaKustutaO: This sounds so epic. Mass dragons? World building? Soul searching? YES PLEASE.
VastaKustutaWow, more Spike episodes, awesome! He's one of my favorite characters... shame Scootaloo has yet to get an episode for herself though :(
VastaKustutaMore lore please. So much want.
VastaKustutaWow that sounds great!
VastaKustutaWatch out for slimes on yer Dragon Quest, Spike.
VastaKustutaAutor on selle kommentaari eemaldanud.
VastaKustutaWell quite frankly, when I hear the name 'Dragon Quest', I think of the game, Dragon Quest.
VastaKustutaA slime draws near. Command?
VastaKustutaWaitWhat
VastaKustutaHmm... with only 3 episodes left after this one (Unless a 27 and 28 do exist). I'll put my bets on these for the final 3 episodes before the finale.
VastaKustuta- 1 Fluttershy Episode
- 1 Scootaloo Episode
- 1 Princess Celestia Episode
It's getting better and better!
VastaKustuta@Killsteal_Wolf
VastaKustutaI'm fairly sure somewhere someone said that the finale was a two-parter. Unless you counted that as the Celestia Episode.
Sounds like a great episode!
VastaKustutaAnd Seth, can you please post source links to images when you use them? Having to hit Google on a complete lack of sleep is not fun :)

Oh god, dead fanfictions.....dead Spike origins fanfictions everywhere...they were killed by canon....
VastaKustutaAutor on selle kommentaari eemaldanud.
VastaKustutaThose fictions had a good life but it's time to move on to reality!
VastaKustutaWhoa, I can't wait for this one! Sounds interesting! And I do love Spike episodes. :3 Woohoo!
VastaKustuta@Killsteal_Wolf
VastaKustutaUh, since this is episode 21, that means five more episodes. If there is a 27 and 28, then seven more.
Does canon rly kill fanfiction? If its good I say it'll never die!
VastaKustutaWhaaaaaaaaaaaa OMG that sounds way too awesome O.O
VastaKustutaWhy must we wait a month for this?! Nooooooo
@Yu Kigono
VastaKustutaTrue, but we already know that the finale is a two parter, and it seems likely that it's the Princess Cadance episodes. So, if there is 26 episodes, there are 3 more normal episodes after this Spike one. 5 if there are 28 episodes.
An opportunity for a fascinating insight into the culture and history of dragons in Equestria... This will be interesting.
VastaKustutaCan't wait to see this, will be interesting to see the dragons lifestyles.
VastaKustutaI think i read a fanfic like this once ;D
VastaKustutaMy birthday episode! Thank you so much Hasbro/the Hub! :D
VastaKustutaActually this reminds me of a G1 episode where Spike goes off to join a horde of dragons to learn more about being a dragon...but discovers the dragons were complete assholes.
VastaKustutaFist time travel, now this?
VastaKustutaWhat will the two parter finale be like?
The sound that came out of my mouth was not human.
VastaKustutaOh god yes.
@Flutteryay No, not at all. Like, literally, the first thing I thought of when I saw the title was "Brodyquest?!?"
VastaKustutaThis is going to be awesome.
I just watched Napoleon Dynamite and -- YUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
VastaKustuta@Mike
VastaKustuta... ...by which I mean this episode sounds like win.
Here's hoping there's a dragon named "Vicious"
VastaKustutathis could be an awsome ep!
VastaKustutaThis has so much potential to be a deep and profound episode with so much great emotion.
VastaKustutaI'm gonna hype up for this one!
I really hope that Twilight has a good sized role in this one, or at least Spike's relationship with her does. I'm really jonesing for more central cast interactions this season.
VastaKustutaDragonquest learn to become a warrior to kill Slimes
VastaKustutaDragon Quest Spike in a "videogame" like quest.
Man still no Scootaloo episode.
Aw, no St. Patri- er, Ale and Shamrocks Day episode?
VastaKustuta@Kimmerz
VastaKustutaThis reminded me of that episode too, except I only heard of that G1 episode, I never saw it.
This kinda reminded of Sintel, not quite the same but, have a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRsGyueVLvQ
VastaKustutaAs the developer of the fan-game Spikes Quest, this nearly gave me a heart attack when I saw it xD
VastaKustutaThis sounds good!
VastaKustutaI bet after this episode airs, there's gonna be vids with HTTYD music...
VastaKustutaThis sounds good...and at the risk of being killed violently, a bit like G1 episode if I remember correctly.
VastaKustutaseriously another spike episode.. not even a scootaloo episode? poor scoot
VastaKustutaHm. Interesting. Hope it doesn't come off like a dragon version of the Wonderbolts.
VastaKustutaYes more Dragons
VastaKustutaThank you Hasbro!
I just saw what we have so far for this episode and wow. It's amazing. Spike dies!
VastaKustuta@Harwick
VastaKustutaYou and I both, but considering what the vast majority of Season 2 has been like, I'm not convinced it's in the cards. Like it or not, they have chosen to make this season a much more individual-focused affair, at the deep expense of interpersonal relationships and the mutual growth the characters experience after overcoming conflicts (Season 1, by contrast, was almost nothing BUT this). Make no mistake, Season 2 as it stands has good value, but...it just isn't the same. The general approach they chose to take this season is perfectly legitimate, but ultimately inferior in my opinion. As far as this episode goes, though, we shall see. I would love to be surprised.
Omg YES, We're finally gonna possibly see more dragons that aren't adult age!
VastaKustutaSpike is on a dragon quest to understand his true concepts about himself? Make it so!!!! ^_^
VastaKustutaThat sounds like the episode from 1987 called "Spike's Search".
VastaKustutaTo quote wikipedia, in that episode Spike goes in search of his roots and joins a dragon horde, but finds he does not agree with their bullying ways.
Excited because it's a Spike episode, a little worried because it might interfere with my fanfuc idea. :I
VastaKustuta@Dawnmist *fanfic
VastaKustutaThis sounds like it could be an awesome adventure episode
VastaKustutajoins the migration only to be murdered by the Dragonborn. Definitely NOT what he needs.
VastaKustutaIn their tongue...spike is Dovahkiin...DRAGONBORN!!
VastaKustutaYeah, the title isn't implying ANYTHING...
VastaKustutaAT ALL...
I like Dragon Quest... as a sidenote... which has nothing to do with the title of that episode... at all...
This sounds AWESOME. :D
VastaKustutaMy first thought was 'Oh, It Takes a Village part 2, assuming in my head canon that the Secret of My Excess was part 1' and then I thought...whatever.. it sounds AWESOME!
VastaKustutaThis episode will actually be named "Dragon Warrior" in North America.
VastaKustutaOMG!!!!
VastaKustutaDragon info! i needed more dragon info!!!
*fluttergasms*
Please tell me there is going be JRPG references in this episode. Especially Dragon Quest ones.
VastaKustutaPlease let us leave Equestria and see another land!

VastaKustutayes a spike episode yes now all we need is spike to hook up with rarity and ill be the worlds happiest brony yes spike yesssssssss
VastaKustutaHoly crap! Character development! Just what I wanted! YAY!
VastaKustutaBUCK YEAH SPIKE EPISODE. Loving the character development lately!! :D
VastaKustutaAre they seriously calling the episode Dragon Quest? O_o
VastaKustutaAfter references to classic movies, references to classic video games... this keeps getting better...
Then spike becomes alduin the world eater
VastaKustutaand mane 6 become dragon born's
@Krizak
VastaKustutaYour comment wins.
Seriously though, the title is "Dragon Quest" and people immediately think Brody or Skyrim and not... Dragon Quest?
I'm getting too old for this.
Episode 22: Final Fantasy
VastaKustutaEpisode 23: Chrono Trigger
Episode 24: Pocket Monster
Episode 25: Earthbound
There must be a Skyrim reference... maybe another dragon will say Fus Ro Dah.
VastaKustutaAlready been done!
VastaKustuta"Spike's Search" from the G1 series My Little Pony & Friends. :p
A fan of the Dragon Quest games amongst Studio B? YESSSSS.
VastaKustutaI think this is going to be the first episode with a reference to a videogame. And the actual name, too! (Even if it was called "Dragon Warrior" in the US until 2005.)
VastaKustutaThis reminds me of a fanfiction... But I can't remember what it was called...
Man, time travel and dragons... So much to look forward to!
@D. McCarthy
VastaKustutaYou basically just summed up my personal RPG catalog from my teen years. If only they did this... especially an Earthbound referencing episode, if only the in title.
As for the episode, I love how B-list characters have been getting this extra attention. Spike really deserves it to, being the most active with the Mane 6.
Spike you are Dovahkiin. Dragonborn!
VastaKustutaI find this kind of funny and depressing because my Lit. has been studying Chris McCandless.
VastaKustutaThe title isn't the only video game reference here I'm sure we will have a Spyro moment or 2 in it too.
VastaKustutaNICE!
VastaKustuta<sees so many people talk about rpgs
VastaKustutaAm I the only one who first thought of Brodyquest?
Great dragon migration. They're off to start a new world.
VastaKustutaDragon Quest? Thats a game aint it?
VastaKustutaHis quest coming to a close, Spike approached the fortress that held the whereabouts of the final location of his mission. After this, Spike hoped, he would understand what kind of dragon he is, and discover his true destiny.
VastaKustuta"It's a little weird," Spike said aloud to himself, "This is my last stop before I go home, and they call it 'The End'.
"But then again," the young dragon said as he looked around at the strange, sharply-angled landscape around him, "That's not as weird as some of the things I've seen..."
As long as Derpy never gets eye surgery and Rainbow Dash doesn't do anything heterosexual, I don't mind the occasional fanfic being made obsolete. World building is awesome! And with that, I'm going into a state of hibernation for the next month to avoid having to wait for this episode.
VastaKustutaJossed fanfiction never dies. It just becomes alt-history.
VastaKustutaDragon Quest? I love those games.
VastaKustutaOMG ANOTHER SPIKE EPISODE! AND MORE STUFF ABOUT DRAGONS IN EQUESTRIA!
VastaKustutaThis is the GREATEST DAY EVER!
@Flutteryay
VastaKustutaNope.
dammit! they just ruined my fanfic! unless I can write around it! till then.....
VastaKustutaWhy am I suddenly put in mind of the "Cow and Chicken" episode when Cow decided to try herding?
VastaKustuta@Hunter Moore i always have to work hard to find fellow Spike lovers.
VastaKustutaAn episode full of dragons?
VastaKustutaIt's been awhile since Spike showed up..so we're due for some dragon cuteness.
@Twifight Sparkill At last someone who understands me.
VastaKustuta@Flutteryay
VastaKustutaNope, you weren't alone.
MFW I just started replaying Dragon Quest 8 last night.
VastaKustutaIf there is an Akira Toriyama art design reference in this episode I will Fluttersquee.
The mangaka of HunterxHunter will love this episode.
VastaKustutaOh man this sounds awesome
VastaKustutaYaya a Spike episode
VastaKustutalove his episodes
Seth really really like dragons like in the way that some of us like ponies *wink*
VastaKustutaI now officially love Hasbro forever, simply for the episode's name. Now if only we could get slimes confirmed as canon Equestrian fauna... :P
VastaKustutaThe only correct thing to think of first is the classic game series put out by the Enix side of Square Enix before their merger. It came around LONG before Brody.
VastaKustutaHowever, I'm really looking forward to this episode. I predict that by the end of the episode, we'll see references to:
-Dragon Quest (Slimes! Slimes everywhere! GET THAT METAL ONE!!!)
-Dungeons & Dragons (I mean COME ON!!! It's Hasbro. It's practically BEGGING to be done.)
-Skyrim (I can only imagine a dragon shouting would have to be in it)
-Something to do with Akira Toriyama (going back to the DQ thing)
-Someone will mention to a dragon about being a warrior (a sly shout out to Dragon Quest being known as Dragon Warrior in North America for a while; I still have my original copy of Dragon Warrior 1 for the NES)
-Some sort of surprise Magic: the Gathering reference somehow (LOTS of dragons and other cool shit that Hasbro ALSO owns lol)
Looking forward to this, an episode that comes after an episode that has so much potential for so many Back to the Future, Chrono Trigger, and Doctor Who jokes.
i am so far from being first
VastaKustutaHence starts the animations of spike questing it.
VastaKustutaTime to joss a whole bunch more fanfics!
VastaKustutaThat said, I'm very interested in this. Faust herself has said that ponies don't know that much about Dragons. Dunno if that's changed since she left.
Spike is my least favorite of the main cast (it's basically Mane 6 = #1, Spike = #7), but if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have gotten A Dog and Pony Show, which is my favorite episode.
VastaKustutaWell, it sounds like there really won't be anything for me here, but so far there's been no such thing as a bad pony episode. After all, this show could always use more dragons.
Oh, man. If they do Dragon Quest references here... XD
VastaKustutaOverall, this'll be great for some character development and world-building.
@Jason I'll be very sad if he doesn't enounter any slimes. The original NES game was so fucking awesome!
VastaKustuta@ChowderT I hope they either reference the game or the 1991 show that only aired 13 Levels before being banned in the US. I loved the show so much but I never found an English Sub for the rest of the episodes. Dragon Quest is awesome and I really really hope they reference it.
VastaKustutaA bigger view on the world AND character development? And for Spike no less? Ah, Hasbro, you know how to hit the sweet spots on this Pegasus! ...Dragon Quest... Slime appears?
VastaKustutaThese episode just KEEP GETTING BETTER!!!
VastaKustutaThis is the best show ever!
And I can already see the DragonQuest video game photoshops with this
this sounds horrifyingly similar to one of the land before time sequels...
VastaKustuta"Dost thou love me, Spike?" (no)
VastaKustuta"But thou must!
http://images.4chan.org/mlp/src/1329597032942.png
VastaKustutayou know who loves dragons this guy.
Sound like... Land Before Time: The Big Freeze? anyone? anyone?
VastaKustutaHow about you credit the artists of the images you use?
VastaKustutaThe image of Spike and Twilight was done by Bricu on DeviantArt, you can find the link below.
http://fav.me/d4hhhyx
This sounds like an episode that might actually get us a Spike song!
VastaKustutaAm I a dragon?!
Or am I a pony?
(Am I a pony?)
If I'm a pony,
Then I'm a very scaly pony
(Very scaly pony)
OGAWDDRAGONS!
VastaKustutaI wonder if Fluttershy will be featured prominently in this episode as well.
*reads about episode*
VastaKustutaThis reminds me of Land before Time
MFW I see a Spike episode. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu_RmSJxtUE
VastaKustutaMFW I read the title "Dragon Quest"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H47ow4_Cmk0
MFW the episode actually sounds interesting.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVvRwtzHcWI
@D. McCarthy
VastaKustuta+1000000
Did someone say....DRAGON QUEST?
VastaKustutahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcpajKLrLz8
OMGSH OMGSH OMGSH OMGSH YES!!! MOAR SPIKE WIN!!!
VastaKustutaLet the fanfics go wild. XD
I like world building.
VastaKustutaMore Spike? Sweet. Spike is best pony.
VastaKustuta@y2kyle89: I see what you did there. :)
VastaKustutaThat'd be pretty cool actually...
For those wondering, this does sound very similar to the plot for The Land Before Time: The Great Migration, although that could easily change with more details. Of course, having a dragon voiced by Kiefer "Jack Bauer" Sutherland would be kind of awesome.
VastaKustutaAhh...I was gonna write a Fanfic about Spike's journey to discover himself. Curse you Hasbro...
VastaKustuta@KAWAIIMO
VastaKustutaI think that Spike doesn´t have wings because he´s some kind of earth-dragon.
This is #200
VastaKustutaSounds like a reinvention of a G1 storyline, called "Spike's Search"
VastaKustutaSynopsis:Spike goes in search of his roots and joins a dragon horde, but finds he does not agree with their bullying ways.
Not saying it's an exact reinvention...but it IS possible.
There's a whole previous generation of stories from which to mine from.
I can't wait to see how this episode pans out!
