Title
The title of Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai - Xross Blade can be broken down as:
- "Dragon Quest" (ドラゴンクエスト Doragon Kuesuto): The overall franchise to which this manga series is a part of
- "The Adventure of Dai" (ダイの大冒険 Dai no Daibōken ): The sub-franchise to which this manga series is a part of; the original The Adventure of Dai was a manga series set in the Dragon Quest universe that began in 1991, and this series was produced in conjunction with a new television series adapting the original manga (its second, after an incomplete series from back in 1991), a card-based arcade game of the same name ("Xross Blade"), as well as a prequel manga series called The Hero Avan and the Dark Lord of Hellfire running over in V-Jump at the same time
- "XROSS BLADE": Though stylized with an "X-" at the beginning, furigana of クロスブレイド indicates an English pronunciation of "Cross Blade" (kurosu bureido) for the respective game and manga title.

Production
Riku Sanjō (serving as the writer) and Kōji Inada (serving as the artist) produced the original Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai manga series, which ran from the 1989 No. 45 to 1996 No. 52 issues of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.
In conjunction with 2020's new animated adaptation of Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai beginning that October (its second, following its original 1991 version), several related spin-offs and supporting products were released:
- A prequel manga series, Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai - The Hero Avan and the Dark Lord of Hellfire, began with a five-page prologue chapter in the November 2020 issue of V-Jump[3], which then included a splash about the manga series beginning in earnest next month[4] in the following December 2020 issue[5]. Original writer Riku Sanjō returned in a supervisory role (receiving the 原作 gensaku credit, referring to the "Original Work" of the original Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai manga), while Yūsaku Shibata produced the manga itself. This manga continues to run in V-Jump.
- The card-based arcade game Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai - Xross Blade ran from October 2020 to March 2024.
- The supporting Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai - Xross Blade manga by Yoshikazu Amami ran from the November 2020 to February 2024 issues Saikyō Jump, wrapping up at the same time as its corresponding arcade game's end-of-service.
- The smartphone game Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai: A Hero's Bonds, which ran from September 2021[6] to April 2023[7][8].
Yoshikazu Amami previously contributed the One Piece spin-off manga Chin Piece, which ran for 12 chapters from the July 2018 to May 2020 issue of Saikyō Jump, before picking up with Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai - Xross Blade a few months later.
