The Hero Yoshihiko and the Demon King’s Castle – 01
August 23rd, 2012 at 9:24
Hailing from The Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Eleven, “The Hero Yoshihiko and the Demon King’s Castle” (Yuusha Yoshihiko to Maou no Shiro) is a 12-episodes, late-night adventure drama. The story focuses on the adventures of Yoshihiko, a young man who sets forth on a journey to save his village from a deadly plague, and the companions that join him on the way to the eponymous Demon King’s Castle.
Touting itself as “A no-budget action-adventure series”, Yoshihiko is an officially sanctioned love letter to SquareEnix’s Dragon Quest series, with a great attention to detail and to the common JRPG tropes. Dragon Quest fans should easily recognize all these nods on this first episode, down to the Hero’s clothes (taken straight from DQV), the monsters, the battle sounds, etc. The show also features several cameos from japanese tv stars and manzai duos (which might be where most of the budget went to).
These following episodes will be brought to you by the lovely KouAidou and Lynxara, who took a break from their busy schedule to work on this silly show. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
Edit: Thanks to Kyouju for providing the toasterlicious SD.
Cool! Thanks for this!
you guys are my heroes
Akibarangers for JRPG fans? I’ll take it.
This is incredible thank you thank you thank you
Is this Dragon Quest The Movie The show?
Sounds like fun! Will give this a shot, thanks.
It’s like you guys like me.
Huh, this is the first I’ve heard of this. Hope there’s a DDL coming.
Wow… low budget is right. I think the villages are all the same. Not to mention all the people dress the same in different villages.
But….
If we take it that they’re parodying the fact that older 8 bit RPGS have villages and towns people that look the same…
This show is pretty damn entertaining lol
“Why won’t anyone let me kill them?” (sad music starts playing in background)

What’s dragon quest?
Dragon Quest is one of the longest running JRPG series around, and is one of the best right alongside the Final Fantasy series. If you’re from USA you might know it better by the name Dragon Warrior from it’s NES releases.
An old video game that had a My Little Pony episode named after it.
Could anyone tell me what the ED is called and who plays it? Thanks.

Please tell me Arino Shinya/Yoiko and Downtown will make an appearance!
Oh, Japan. You continually impress me with your ability and willingness to absolutely lampoon yourselves. I had no idea this existed, but it’s a riot!
THis is a very funny series. I’ve watched this and I tell you, you won’t regret watching this! Thumbs up!
These DDLs have been up for ages. I just haven’t posted them.
