Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Dai's Big Adventure, more or less. A Shounen manga (and later anime) series, spun off the wildly popular Dragon Quest RPG series, with a scenario by Sanjo Riku and art by Koji Inada (both of whom later went on to create Beet the Vandel Buster). The titular hero, Dai, is a young kid who's been raised by monsters on Delmarine Island after he was washed ashore as an infant, the only survivor of a shipwreck, and who dreams of being an adventure hero. Since the Demon King had been defeated many years before, the monsters have been freed from his influence and are actually quite peaceful — but suddenly, one day, the Demon King comes back to life, and the monsters start raging again.Just then, a "hero trainer" named Aban lands on the island with his wizard trainee, Pop, and sets up a magical barrier, which frees the monsters from Evil's influence. He then proceeds to train Dai to be the next Great Hero, but before they can complete the training the Demon King himself shows up, Aban sacrifices himself and fails... but Dai flies into an Unstoppable Rage, and chases the Demon King away.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })After the battle, he and Pop decide to fight the Demon King, to rid the world of evil once again.An Anime Adaptation aired for 46 episodes from 1991 to 1992. During Jump Fiesta 2020, it was announced the manga will get a new Anime Adaptation set to air in Fall 2020, as well as a Video Game project developed by Square Enix themselves.Not to be confused with the Konami 3D Fighting Game Lightning Legend: Daigo no Daibouken. | |

Warp Whistle | |
| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_159850a5 | comment |
Warp Whistle: Hadler uses an artifact named Chimera's Wings to retreat after his humiliating defeat during his first fight with Dai. The spell Ruura also works this way, being a teleportation spell that requires a clear image of the location where the user intends to go; therefore, it's only possible to transport to locations he/she has already visited. | |

Patrick Stewart Speech | |
| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_16e17035 | comment |
Patrick Stewart Speech: In keeping with the generally Rousseau Was Right and Humans Are Good tone of the story, characters tend to give a lot of these. Of note is Pop's speech to Vearn which inspires both Dai to keep fighting and Merle to rally the rest of the world. | |

Right Behind Me | |
| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_170128e9 | comment |
Right Behind Me: A variant. When Dai and Leona use a hot-air balloon to head to a department store for the purpose of getting new equipment for Dai, Dai worries not bringing Pop along. Leona, on the other hand, doesn't consider Pop reliable and quickly expresses her opinion on the matter. What Dai and Leona don't know, however, is that Pop, having trained to enable himself to fly by magic, has been positioning himself below the airborne hot-air balloon while Leona expresses her criticism of him, and so he hears the whole spiel. | |

Defeat Means Friendship | |
| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_19769f50 | comment |
Defeat Means Friendship: The most notable examples are Crocodine and Hyunkel. Quite a few of the minor antagonist characters are much better inclined towards the heroes once they've crossed swords. Eventually, also Hadler. But not without consequences. | |

Mr. Fanservice: Baran. Also Hyunkel and Vearn. Pop surprisingly. He ends up shirtless a lot either due to clothing damage or because he likes training without a shirt on. He's pretty well built for a cowardly wizard. | |

Senseless Sacrifice: Defied: Avan can't defeat Hadler with his Megante spell, but his death releases Dai's hidden power. Pop tries to cast a Megante to kill Baran, but Baran manages to shake him off right before the explosion. Defied again: the sacrifices doesn't work as intended, but manages to make Dai regain his memories. | |

Tomboyand Girly Girl: Played all over with Leona and Maamu. Maamu's a fighter and a Tsundere while Leona's a White Magician Girl whose open about who she loves. However, their personalities don't fit the type. Maamu when she's in love, is a bit of a Shrinking Violet who Can't Spit It Out (see her crush on Hyunkel). Leona in contrast is much more aggressive about pursuing Dai. Maamu serves as the Team Mom while Leona is The Face. | |

Accidental Pervert: When Maam meets Dai and Pop for the first time, she helps them defeat a monster and criticizes Pop for his failure to do so by himself. Pop, not happy with her critique and unaware that Maam is a girl, tries to size himself up by poking her upper torso — and only THEN does he finally realize he's confronting a girl, after Maam harshly pushes him away. | |

Sorting Algorithm of Evil | |
| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_323f135b | comment |
Sorting Algorithm of Evil: On one hand it's subverted: the Big Bad sends the six general after Dai from the beginning. On the other hand, it's played straight in the order in which the generals fight Dai: Crocodine is a lot weaker than Hyunkel, who gets his ass handed to him by Flazzard, who in turn is a joke compared to Baran. Also, from the moment Crocodine failed Hadler had wanted to send all 6 of his generals at once. The order was belayed by the Big Bad, who hoped to persuade Dai to come to his side. | |

Anguished Declaration of Love: Two in a row. During the battle to gain entrance to Vearn's fortress, Shrinking Violet Merle takes a bullet for Pop. Pop freaks out and asks her why, which makes Leona finally lose it and reveal that Merle has been in love with him since ever. Immediately after that, Merle begs Pop to show her real courage and say the name of the woman he loves. After a moment of hesitation, Pops states his love for Maam, who is standing literally a few feet away and was completely unaware of his feelings up to that moment. | |

| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_372bc105 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: With its emphasis on The Power of Friendship and its easy conversion of villains, the series is close to the far end of the idealism side. At the root of the conflict with Vearn and his demon army, who've been living in less than ideal conditions while humans were having it good, from their point of view. | |

Humans Are Bastards: Played with. Most people and even demons and beasts turn out to be great folks deep inside (sometimes after their HeelFaceTurns). On the other hand, Baran had such a horrible experience with human beings (save for Soara) that he ended up going on a rampage. | |

| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_4a4d6f7c | comment |
Comedic Sociopathy: In real life, Pop would be acutely brain damaged and Maamu in jail from beating him up all the time. But Hilarity Ensues, and Pop does act like a jerk after all. | |

All of the Other Reindeer | |
| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_4c8e8078 | comment |
All of the Other Reindeer: Humans are usually viewed in a positive light, but it's clear that Dai has been and will be rejected by a lot of humans for being half dragon knight and unnaturally strong. This is also the reason Baran snapped and vowed to wipe out all humans. The final arc revealed that Aban was playing dumb since his teen years, both to fool his enemies and to avoid awkward comparisons with his (vastly inferior) allies. This even gets it's own sub-story where it's explained with lots of details. | |

| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_50f66629 | comment |
Crazy-Prepared: Avan. After almost killing himself to stop Hadlar he realizes that he is hopelessly outmatched in the upcoming battle against the Demon army and he descends the Anti-Magic cave to find new spells and hone his skills. He comes back near the end, packed with powerful new abilities and items, some of which he invented himself. Played hilariously with Chu the mouse and the random items he carries with him all the time. | |

Cast from Hit Points: Several techniques work this way, the most notable being Megante, which consumes all the user's life to turn it into a massive explosion. Hyunkel's Grand Cross is a less dangerous form of it; it doesn't kill him, but it renders him extremely exhausted. | |

Beta Couple | |
| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_5941d75 | comment |
Beta Couple: A unique case where the Beta Couple is the main couple. Leona and Dai are pretty clearly attracted to each other from the start and they remain so throughout the manga. The only reason why they aren't actively dating is probably because they're 1. they're a bit young and 2. they're preoccupied with saving the world. Compare them to the Pop-Maamu-Hyuunkel-Merle-whoever mess. Avan and Flora serve as a predecessor to Leona and Dai. They share very similar dynamics up to and including a Disney Death Heroic Sacrifice preventing them from being together (at least for a time) | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: "Dai" means "grand", but there is also a variation of his name that means "hero". His original name, Dino, was said to mean "strong dragon" in his mother's language. "Leona" means "relating to lions," which may explain her 'feline' personality. Maam and Pop are probably named so because they're taking their parents' positions at the Hero's side. | |

Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards | |
| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_812ee32b | comment |
Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards: Hyunkel and Pop are a textbook version of this trope. Hyunkel starts off as an extremely powerful swordsman who gives both Dai and Pop a hard time, while Pop is a Miles Gloriosus. Later on, Hyunkel is still a powerful ally but Pop has taken so many levels of badass that he's the only one able to face Vearn head on together with Dai. Dai averts this by being a Magic Knight. Maam and Avan also to a lesser extent. | |

Large Ham: Hadler and Baran, in a more edgy and cynical style. Crocodine is a level above even the others; in an ideal dub he would have to be voiced by BRIAN BLESSED to do him justice. | |

| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_82f5ced1 | comment |
Conservation of Ninjutsu: The chess pieces that are brought to life. The 5 Shinei Kidan warriors are formidable opponents that give Dai's team quite a bit of trouble. Hymn the pawn is almost even match with Hyunkel. The remaining 13 pieces, however, would be easily torn apart by Hyunkel with his bare hand, if the King piece didn't play dirty. | |

Back from the Dead | |
| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_8967e17f | comment |
Back from the Dead: Crocodine gets actually killed by Dai; Zaboera manages to resurrect him. Hyunkel seems to die in every other arc, only to be found alive a few chapters later. Aban, who sure could have fooled us. Saved by a Deus ex Machina amulet. Also Larhalt in the last arc, Pop more than once, and Merle... In fact, very few characters stay dead in Dai no Daibouken. | |

| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_89a17726 | comment |
Spell My Name with an "S": particularly extreme if you take into account the "Blind Idiot" Translation in the French manga. Dai was renamed "Fly" in French and Spanish to avoid the phonetic equivalent of "die" ("fly" is an impressive name, thank you very much); Hyunckel/Hyunkel/Henki (in the French translation of the anime); Marm/Maamu/even Fuam in the French manga; Pop/Poppu (ditto); Aban/Avan/Ivan; Hadler/Hadlar/Hadora; Dermlin/Delmulin/Dremlin/Demurin/Whatever island; Crocodin/Crocodine/Krokodine; Vearn/Ban; Freezair/Flazzard/Freeze; Gome/Gomen. | |

| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_8e9cf84e | comment |
"Blind Idiot" Translation: the French manga translation by publisher J'ai Lu is notoriously awful. Most of the characters and places have names transliterated directly from the Japanese kana (Poppu, Hadora, Demurin, exception: Fuam for Maamu), the translators couldn't decide in the first volumes if Aban was male or female and thus wrote "he (she)" and the masculine and feminine alternatives of adjectives whenever he spoke or was mentioned, and in at least one instance "Yuusha" (grand hero) was considered the name of the hero ("the grand hero Yusha!"). The "Aban strash" also became the "Aban slah." Very obnoxious and literal sound effects ("freeze," "hug") were added in small font next to the Japanese sound effects. To add insult to injury, it was printed on low-quality paper (think newspaper quality) that made the ink stick to your fingers. Thankfully, another publisher is remaking the whole translation from scratch, almost ten years later. | |

Not So Different: During the Final Battle, Dai unleashes his full power, something he had been actively surpressing until then for fear of losing his memory or his mind or permanently morphing into something was not human. Shortly after, Vearn does the same thing, transforming into a gigantic monster. He remarks they're both willing to lose themselves in order to achieve victory. Dai reluctantly and silently agrees. | |

Hyunkel starts as one of the strongest characters, mainly for his exceptional swordsmanship skill, but quickly becomes relatively average when compared to other characters. Dai is the hero, Pop can use magic, and Maamu is infinitely stronger physically than he is. Then he starts using his own life as a weapon and takes a few levels in badass. | |

Maybe Ever After: There's no definitive resolution to the Merle-Pop-Marm love triangle: Pop turns Merle down and Marm tells him to wait until she gets over Hyunkel. We see them traveling together after the end but its not clear if they're just traveling as friends or if Pop is dating one or more of them. Dai and Leona get no resolution either due to Dai's Disney Death Heroic Sacrifice. Really the only couple that does get resolved is Flora and Avan. He's shown ruling Carl with her meaning that she probably finally strong-armed him into a relationship. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: It can be difficult believing Hyunkel is not something from Saint Seiya. Seriously, look at his armours and how he equips them. He even looks a bit like Hyoga and was dubbed by Phoenix Ikki's former seiyuu Hideyuki Hori. Think about what army he is in charge of, and how many times he comes Back from the Dead. Dai and Baran's Kamehame Hadoken. There's even one instance where Dai shoots one, and the recipient of the blast sees the ghostly image of Baran standing behind him in the same pose, a Shout-Out to how Gohan defeated Cell in Dragon Ball Z. Zaboera's son Zamza's Hyper Demon form has some traits to it reminiscent of Cell, specifically, eating people in order to become stronger, having an ability that allows for quick regeneration, being composed of the traits of numerous types of demons, and even the mouth on his chest somewhat resembles Cell's tail-mouth, being used in the same way. | |

Hard Work Hardly Works: Subverted.

There are always multiple threats that need to be dealt with and Dai is only able to tackle the strongest one. | |

Sword and Sorcerer | |
| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_d1c229c6 | comment |
Sword and Sorcerer: Dai and Pop. Dai despite being a Magic Knight, favors swordsmanship and most of his spells are either short range offensive attacks or boosts to his fighting ability. Pop when teamed up with Dai, provides the long range explosive firepower, defense and after he becomes a Sage, healing that Dai lacks. Demonstrated beautifully in the fight against Vearn when they display both the Tank/Healer and Meat Shield/Glass Cannon sides of the trope. | |

Made of Explodium: The Shinei Kidan explode when they die, and there's a good reason to it that's not explicitly stated in the Manga: Since their bodies are made of the extremely rare and powerful Orihalcon, it would be disadvantageous for them if the heroes could scavenge their remnants to forge some new weapons and/or armor with them. Even their severed body parts explode. | |

Not very surprising, since Akira Toriyama did the character designs for Dragon Quest. Dai is visually similar to Roto. Pop and Maam have a few similarities to the Prince of Cannock and the Princess of Moonbrooke in Dragon Quest II. | |

Dude, Where's My Respect? | |
| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_f818b637 | comment |
Dude, Where's My Respect?: Baran gets no recognition for his defeat of Velther and it's implied that his heroics are overshadowed by Avan's defeat of Hadlar. The reason being that while Hadlar is weaker, he was more immediate threat; he was already conquering parts of the surface. Velther was stopped before he could mount an invasion. | |

The Power of Friendship | |
| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_faece9aa | comment |
The Power of Friendship: The disciples of Aban and their allies are a textbook example. Hadler and his Shinei Kidan learned to get their own as well, much to Dai and company's surprise. | |

Cut Short | |
| Dai no Daibouken (Manga) / int_ffa0483f | comment |
Cut Short: The anime ends after Dai's first encounter with Baran, which is less than a third through the Manga's full length, and which also ends on a rather different way. In the Anime Baran is overwhelmed by the strength of Dai's bond with his friends, and he concedes the battle because of it. But in the Manga Baran decides to cut this bond by erasing Dai's memories before retreating to gather his comrades. Needless to say, it would have been more infuriating if they took the Manga route in this case. | |
