Masopho is a character in Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai. The younger brother of Matoriv and a member of the Fake Heroes.

Profile[]

He is one of the villains that kidnap Gome at the beginning of the story.

In the 2020 version he faces Brass on the King's boat, just to be defeated by a green dragon.

After giving up on his thieving way, Masopho meets Dai again at the capital of Romos. During the battle against Crocodine he is the one who encourages Pop to help Dai in the fight, before running away for his life.

Even though he studied alongside Matoriv, he lacks strong spells because he was a coward to the point of being afraid of training, joining the Fake Heroes band as his last hope in life. When he meets Matoriv again, the sage asks him for his assistance to fight Vearn even though he doesn't excel in magic talent.

Personality[]

He is the most cowardly of his team, although he was pretty cruel when he assaulted the monsters in Dermline Island. Unlike the other three members though, Masopho has shown to be self-aware of his cowardice and implied, deep down, to resent his status, as seen when he openly encourages Pop to not end up like him and save his friends.

Abilites[]

He is able to use Crach-type spells.

He also displayed Fortune Teller abilities to Popp, showing the events of Romos Castle with his crystal ball.

Flash of Light Arc[]

They hear Dai's wish to help to save the world and stop Vearn's plan, by destroying the Northern Tower's Black Core. Unfortunately it was guarded by a Jamirus[1] and the Fake heroes were way too scared to face it. That's when a weakened Matoriv appears and kills the monster. It's then revealed that Masopho and Matoriv studied together, but somehow due to his cowardness Masopho's life turned way different than his former colleague. Motivated by Matoriv, Masopho mustered his courage and confidence to destroy the Black Core by casting a combined Crack with Zurbon and Derolin.
