Hadlar is here and he is armed with new power. Dai has a major challenge as he faces Hadlar in "Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai" Episode 43. The new episode is titled "The Clash of Powerful Swords."

The official promo trailer of Episode 43 shows Hadlar fighting against Dai. Hadlar, who has appeared with new power, is making Dai struggle. Dai is fighting using his full Draconic Aura but he fails to make an impact in the battle.

Hadlar's power and his vow to beat Dai are beyond anything the heroes have witnessed before. Dai has no choice but to wield his sword again.

In the previous "Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai" episode, Dai managed to use his sword to cut Sovereign Rock Castle in half.

After cutting the castle, he remembered Lon Beruk's words "that sword has a soul. It chooses when and where it fights."

Dai realized the weapon should be used responsibly. He decided to seal the sword and borrow its strength to fight extremely powerful enemies.

Meanwhile, Merle sensed something horrible was happening and she informed Dai about it. Merle said Popp and the others were in danger.

"The Sword of Dai cuts Sovereign Rock Castle in half. Mystvearn tries to reveal his true power, but Killvearn appears. With Mystvearn’s anger quelled, and the two retreat. Popp gives chase. Popp reaches the dark island known as the Field of Death," read the synopsis of Episode 42, according to Crunchyroll.
