DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai

Dreaming of becoming a brave hero, Dai spends his days training under Brass, a monster who treats him like a son. One day, a mysterious boat arrives.

Dai is tasked with guiding Princess Leona to the Earth Cave to undergo a ritual. They arrive safely — only to be greeted by a fierce monster attack.

Brass urges Dai to flee the island when its monsters suddenly turn violent. Just as Dai defiantly refuses, a hero trainer named Avan appears.

Dai continues his intensive training to master new fighting skills. He faces off against Avan, who has transformed into a giant fire-breathing dragon.

Critically wounded after shielding his students, Avan summons all of his strength to face Hadlar. Dai and Popp helplessly watch the battle unfold.

Dai and Popp set sail for the Romos Kingdom. After finding themselves lost in a dark forest, they get some guidance from a girl with a magical gun.

Thanks to Maam's sharpshooting, Dai repels Crocodine with a powerful slash. Meanwhile, the Mystic Bishop Zaboera appears on Dermline Island.

With Maam now in the group, Dai and Popp reach Romos Castle but must stay in town for the night. Dai reunites with some hoodwinking heroes at an inn.

Too afraid to leave the safety of the inn, Popp hears some brave words from the miscreant Mage. An enraged Crocodine raises his axe to finish off Dai.

Hadlar summons the remaining Legion Commanders to the Sovereign Rock Castle. Meanwhile, Dai, Popp and Maam head for the Papnica Kingdom by ship.

Unfazed by Dai's attack, the dark swordsman Hyunckel dons a spell-proof suit of armor and reveals the reason for his hatred of his former teacher.

After one of Leona's swordsmen patches up Dai and Popp, the determined duo begins to work on something that can nullify Hyunckel's impenetrable armor.

Popp and Dai's attack hits its mark but Hyunckel withstands it. Just as he's about to finish them off, Maam brings him a message from the departed.

In the search for Leona, Baduck leads Dai's party to a ruined temple to acquire some signal flares. Dai clears the rubble with a fiery technique.

As Dai braves fire and ice to save Leona, Flazzard unleashes a devastating blast that rallies his underlings and creates a formidable magical field.

Maam and the others encounter an unexpectedly familiar sorcerer, who says that Popp will need some extra training if they hope to defeat Flazzard.

Dai and his companions try to destroy the spires but are quickly surrounded by some of the Dark Army's legionary commanders and their minions.

Hyunckel explains how he returned from the brink of death. After sending Popp and Maam to the tower, he confronts Hadlar to avenge his father.

At Valge Tower, the two defecting commanders come to the aid of Dai and his friends. But Flazzard has a terrible and destructive attack up his sleeve.

Accepting Mystvearn's gift and conditions, Flazzard grows even more powerful, easily knocking away his opponents before turning his attention to Dai.

Maam makes an important decision after overhearing Matoriv speak. Meanwhile, the deadly reaper of the Dark Army, Killvearn, appears before Hadlar.

In need of a new sword, Dai slips out of the castle with Leona and heads to a department store in the Bengarna Kingdom. Popp joins them for the ride.

Dai faces the fierce five-headed dragon but can’t pierce through its hard scales. As more dragons barrel toward Leona, Dai's forehead begins to glow.

Dragon Legion Commander Baran tells Dai of his horrifying duty as a Dragon Knight. When Dai refuses his order, Baran reveals another shocking truth.

Crocodine proves no match for the power of Baran's Dragon Crest. But just as Baran readies a final blow, someone bursts forth from the lake.

Baran and his fierce Dragon Riders head for Teran. Meanwhile, fearing for Dai's safety, Leona asks the king of Teran to shelter him in the castle.

Popp receives some unwanted aid as he struggles to defend himself against Galdandy. Hyunckel brushes off Borahorn's attacks and strikes back.

Leaving Dai behind with the fortune-tellers, Leona and Crocodine head out to face Baran. Larhart reveals Baran’s past to a weakened Hyunckel.

Hyunckel receives some unexpected help freeing Popp from Borahorn's clutches. Leona and Crocodine steel themselves for Baran's arrival at the castle.

A newly transformed Baran strikes Popp and the others with terrifying strength. But just as he prepares to deliver the final blow, Dai appears.

Unwavering in his resolve, a furious Dai unleashes the incredible power of his unique Dragon Crest in a fierce attack against the mighty Baran.

As Dai struggles against Baran's brutal onslaught, Hyunckel and Crocodine find a way to help him out. A desperate Leona attempts to perform a miracle.

Dai and his friends recover their strength at Merle’s cabin after the battle with Baran. As Popp stands guard outside, an unexpected visitor appears.

The group arrives safely back in Papnica. Later, Dai learns about a martial arts tournament in Romos that promises the winner a legendary sword.

After hearing Dai’s noble reason for wanting the Sword of Champions, an initially hesitant Maam agrees to give it to him if she wins the tournament.

Dai turns his powerful Dragon Crest against the imposing Zamza, who has transformed into his monstrous ultimate form. But Dai's power soon runs out.

Maam strikes a staggering blow on Zamza to free Dai. When Dai regains consciousness and sees Maam struggling, he gets inspired by her fighting style.

Dai learns that Leona has arranged a summit where world leaders will plan for the coming battle. Mystvearn visits Zaboera’s lair in search of Hadlar.

Lon Beruk begins forging a mighty hero’s sword for Dai using orichalcum. Meanwhile, the summit is interrupted when a gargantuan fiend attacks Papnica.

After Mystvearn declares war and his Shadow Legion monsters attack, Popp and his friends struggle against enemies that return to life again and again.

Mystvearn attempts to tear apart Popp and his friends using an overpowering dark aura. Meanwhile, Lon Beruk finally finishes forging Dai's sword.

Though enraged at losing Sovereign Rock Castle, Mystvearn regains his composure when Killvearn suddenly appears. Popp pursues them as they retreat.

Dai gives his all fighting against Hadlar, whose strength has grown greatly since their last encounter. Pushed to the brink, Dai draws his sword.

In despair at seeing Dai disappear into the sea, Popp retreats, knowing his reserves of magic are depleted. Killvearn goes after him and attacks.

Popp and Crocodine discover the location of the missing Dai. Just as they go to save him, the search party sent out by Zaboera blocks their way.

Ahead of the final battle against Vearn, Dai and the others train vigorously. Popp visits Matoriv to find a way to defeat the Hadlar Royal Guard.

After completing training, Dai and the others gather at Papnica Castle and set off toward Carl Kingdom. Killvearn appears before Baran in a cave.

Refusing to fight alongside Dai, the Hero of the North Nova heads to the port of Zababa for a rescue mission and finds the Hadlar Royal Guard there.

Hyunckel, Maam and Crocodine rush to help Dai and Popp fight the Hadlar Royal Guard, beginning an exciting five-on-five battle in Zababa.

Popp's magic blows away the enemies, but Hyunckel still senses a presence. Chiu enters the Field of Death to uncover the secrets of the Dark Army.
