A muscular lizardman, he is the first Demon King executive that Dai and his friends will face directly. He is a genuine warrior who uses his incredible power and toughness as weapons, and is a character who is highly loyal based on his own beliefs. He is the so-called first enemy in a wall position, but after one of his eyes was injured in the first battle, Pop was tempted by Zaboera to try to win by underhanded means, but he mustered up his courage and returned to the battlefield, and after being defeated by Dai, he regained his pride as a warrior and took his own life.
Crocodine has many highlights
However, Crocodine is not dead and appears before Dai and his friends again as an ally. Crocodine, who had not fully recovered, risked his life to help Dai and his friends escape after their defeat at Hyunckel, but was defeated. However, thanks to Hyunckel's arrangement, he isn't killed and is later revived, and after being defeated by Dai, he rescues Hyunckel when he is nearly engulfed in lava, and fights to the end against Baran, who is hopelessly outmatched in strength, without backing down. He is mentally strong enough to fight even when he knows he cannot win, and will fight on no matter how injured he is. In fact, he may be the mentally strongest character.
"Guwaaaaaah!"
In the beginning, he was a powerful enemy and a reliable ally, but as the story progressed, he couldn't keep up with the inflation and was defeated with "Guwaaaaah!" and "Ku, Crocodine!" This is a template character. But Crocodine is not weak. His opponents are just too bad. Even when he goes "Guwaaaaa!", there are many highlights.
Hunkel, the Immortal Swordsman, Commander of the Demon King's Immortal Knights
He was raised by Bartos, a swordsman of the Demon King's army, at a young age, and became Avan's disciple in order to take revenge on Avan, who was the enemy of his foster father Bartos. On the day of his graduation ceremony, he attempted to kill Avan, but was counterattacked and thrown into the river. He was then picked up by Mystvearn, increased his dark powers, and became the commander of the Immortal Knights. He was a swordsman strong enough to defeat Dai once, using his armored magic sword, but after being touched by the kindness of Crocodine and Maam, who became Dai's allies, and learning the truth about the death of his foster parent, he reformed and became Dai's ally.
The man who broke all death flags
Originally an enemy, he is now an ally who uses the power of darkness, and is a stronger character than or equal to the protagonist. He comes close to death many times, turns white and is clearly dead, and there are also many scenes where he says "Leave it to me and go ahead." He ends up fighting Hadlar alone in the middle of the story, and his HP is reduced to single digits, making him a character that is full of "death flags" and is often made fun of in various places. However, he is still alive after the final battle, making him a truly immortal character who has escaped the fate of death. It is sometimes used as a metaphor for breaking a death flag, and sometimes not.
Zaboera, the Demon Bishop, Commander of the Demon King's Army
An executive of the Demon King's Army in the form of an ugly old man. He is not good at direct combat, but is skilled in magic, but he gives off the impression of being a cunning and cowardly strategist. He has nothing on his mind but his desire to get ahead, and he loves to use and frame others, making him a twisted character. He uses anyone he can, even his family, and discards them when they are no longer of use. In a sense, he is a refreshing little villain. His reputation is terrible not only from his enemies, Dai and his friends, but also from his allies, the Demon King's Army.
Achievements in the story
Zaboera's name is cowardly tactics, and he often uses others and does not take the initiative, such as taking hostages, disguising himself as Maam to deceive Pop, and instead of taking action himself, he tempts Hadlar and Crocodine to watch from a distance. He is the most hated character in Dai's Great Adventure, but he is a character who fought for the Demon King's army to the end, even though the Demon King's army is full of traitors. In a sense, he was a character who did not change from beginning to end.
Freyzard, General of the Ice and Flame Demons, Commander of the Demon King's Ice and Flame Demons
A life form created by Hadlar using forbidden magic. A life form that combines both a body of fire and a body of ice, and can control both fire and ice. He is cruel and has a high desire for fame, and is always looking for an opportunity to achieve greatness, and will use any means to achieve that. He is the most ruthless and unscrupulous character in the series, taking Leona hostage and trapping her in ice to prevent Dai and his friends from escaping, setting a time limit, and creating a powerful barrier to greatly reduce Dai and his friends' abilities. He is a cowardly but well-prepared enemy.
Does anything to win
Although he is a cruel and cowardly realist, his attitude of going for the win even if he takes some risks to win, which means that if he loses, there will be nothing left, is consistent in a sense, and is worthy of praise just for that attitude. Although he is a villain, he has many famous lines that only a villain can say, such as "I don't like fighting... I like winning!" and "Women? Don't make me laugh! This is a battlefield! It's a place to kill each other, it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman, the strong live and the weak die!"
Baran, the Dragon Knight, Commander of the Demon King's Super Dragon Corps
Among the Demon King's executives who have the same dragon crest as Dai, he is said to be comparable to the Great Demon King Burn. He is the strongest in the series, making full use of Gigadein and special moves that use Gigadein, Giga Break and the powerful move Doll Aura that uses Dragon Fighting Spirit. He is obsessed with Dai in the story and tries to take Dai into custody even if it means taking away his memories.
Dai's real name is Dino
He is actually Dai's long-lost father. He is a dragon knight who plays a role in maintaining the balance of the world, and his mission is to fight when humanity is in a critical situation. When Hadlar attacked the surface world, he was fighting the Dark Dragon King Velzard in the Demon World. After the deadly battle with Velzard, he met Princess Soara of the Kingdom of Arkid, and had a son, but was captured by those who were not happy about it, and was publicly executed to protect the lives of his wife and child. However, Soara protected Baran at the last moment and died, and his son is also missing. Enraged, Baran destroys the Kingdom of Arkid, gives up on humanity, and becomes a senior member of the Demon King's army.
Mystvearn, the "Demonic Shadow Staff Officer" and Commander of the Demon King's Shadow Corps
He is the longest serving member of the Demon King's army and is in fact the closest aide to the Great Demon King Burn. Although he is a subordinate of Hadlar, he is actually in a higher position. He has sworn absolute loyalty to the Demon King and is a loyalist who prioritizes the orders of the Great Demon King Burn under any circumstances. After Hyunckel was defeated by Avan, Mystvearn picked him up and raised him as a warrior of darkness, so he is like a second master.
Silent Character
When he first appeared, he was a silent character who never showed any emotion, and it was said that "once he opened his mouth, he wouldn't open his mouth for hundreds of years," but in the later stages of the work, he talks a lot and shows his emotions, as if to say, "Was that setting even true?" There is a reason why he is silent. In order to maintain his prime, the Great Demon King Baan placed a seal that stops time on his body, and the body that controlled Mystvearn's body was the one that controlled him. He was silent because it would be a big problem if he spoke out loud.
Hadlar, the Demon King's "Commander"
A demon king who once plotted to conquer the earth and led monsters to attack humanity. He was defeated by the hero Avan and his party. However, he was later resurrected with even more power by the Great Demon King Burn. He attacked Avan and Dai on Delmurin Island, and ended up killing Avan with his own hands, but was forced to retreat when Dai awakened.
The most unusual character in the story
When he first appeared, he had the personality of a cowardly and cruel little villain. However, after being defeated by Dai and his friends in numerous battles and having no other choice, he will not hesitate to resort to cowardly tactics. However, he still cannot keep up with the rate at which Dai and his friends grow, and the Great Demon King Burn is about to pull the ladder out of his way, putting him in a desperate situation. Hadlar throws away his pride, transforms himself into a super demonic creature, and begins to think only of crushing Dai in a fair and honorable manner. After that, Hadlar's personality changes completely from his initial personality, overcoming his mental fragility and becoming a warrior who always leads the vanguard and fights fair and honorable.
The God of the Demon World, Great Demon King Burn
The final boss of this work, the demon king who unites all of the demon king's army. Although he has a ruling personality like a demon king, he is a charismatic character who exudes the dignity of a strong man, making him a fitting character for a final boss. Great Demon King Burn is trying to destroy humanity, but his reason is to bring sunlight to the harsh environment of the demon world. Considering the position of those who live in the demon world, his purpose cannot be dismissed as a matter of good or evil.
Overwhelming Strength
A person who embodies the law of the jungle. He gives a chance to talented people, but when it's time to cut them off, he cuts them off. He's a great demon king who is like a shrewd businessman with good judgment, but his strength is on a different level, and when Dai and the others first fought him, he overpowered them with his overwhelming power. Even with the low-level magic Mera, it was as powerful as Merazoma, and the line "That wasn't Merazoma, it was Mera" is very famous.
