The anime is based on the manga written by Riku Sanjo and illustrated by Koji Inada. It ran in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from 1989 to 1996. The manga had previously inspired a 46-episode anime series and three short anime films. The new adaptation is a reboot of the old series.

The plot follows Dai, who is the only human living peacefully on the island of Delmurin with monsters who moved there after the defeat of the demon lord Hadlar. Dai’s dream is to grow up to be a hero. He gets to become one when Hadlar is resurrected. After the current hero Avan is killed, Dai decides to leave the island with Pop to avenge Avan, who was Dai’s teacher, and defeat the Demon King.
