Dragon Quest episode 96 Release Date

Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai Before Episode 96

The latest and 95th episode of Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai was one of the show’s best-ever episodes for multiple reasons. Primarily the action set pieces portrayed in the episode as our hero Dai battled against the Great Demon King Vearn were truly magnificent. The story also deserves a lot of credit for keeping the viewers on the edge of their seats.

Throughout the episode, there was a sense of approaching doom surrounding the characters, and this sense made the experience of watching it all the more nail-biting and exciting. The episode’s entire focus is on the battle between Dai and Demon King Vearn. With the help of his partner Popp, Dai managed to counter the Demon King’s every attack. Dai was even able to surprise Vearn when he used his special move Avan Strash Cross to slice off Vearn’s left hand.

With all the power he has, and at the possible cost of his own life, Dai managed to corner Vearn with his lightning attacks. This made his partners hope for the future momentarily. But it was then, Vearn revealed his master plan to Dai, making everybody fall into utter despair, including Dai.
Vearn explained that even though Dai killed Vearn, he would not be able to save the world, because the doom of the world was inevitable.

Vearn revealed that the reason he was fighting Dai and the other heroes wasn’t to stop them, but just to stall them for time. He revealed the authentic reason behind the five pillars that he had strategically placed across the world. All five pillars contained a Black Core capable of wiping out anything and everything around it, to the point even one of them would be deadly to life on the planet, and there were five of them. And that was not all! As he further explains, there’s one more pillar of Vearn. Then the 6th pillar dropped on the world while Dai and his partners looked in despair, as it killed the humans he considered his friends right in front of him.

Vearn reveals that the six pillars located strategically across the land become the points of a hexagonal Magic Circle, which will further increase the destructive power of the massive Black Core, and Vearn’s plan of wiping out the surface world would be accomplished.
As his discomfort increased, Dai vowed to stop Vearn from detonating the pillars, for which the Demon King responded with something that made him further fall into despair. He revealed that the pillars were a type of time bombs, and they will detonate within 10 minutes. In the face of this impossible mission of stopping the pillars, our hero Dai fell right down to the floor and wept, because he just felt that he had lost everything.
