Chapter 11, 12, 13: >>290012538Chapter 14
>>290082119Senshi must reek
>>290082032>>290082010>Telling a DWARF how to take care of their beardHow dare you
>>290082314Senshi, that's BASIC kelpie knowledge. Though they usually sing first.
>>290082049this part of the dungeon is coolespecially once it reappears toward the end
>>290082172laios playing the straight man is funny
>>290082499God damn it Laios, you just have no filter whatsoever
end of volumeyknow, i blame this chapter for why i mistake kelpies and selkies
>>290082544Oh piss off ChilchuckI hate sceptical athiests in universes where the paranormal are observable phenomena
>>290082083he just like me
>>290082574thankfully doodle laius probably died in the dungeons collapse
>>290081992Holy sex
>>290082232top 10 anime betrayal
>>290082499I kind of wonder how much laios is saying that because that's sort of what he likes, or whether it's because it's all stuff he knows other tallmen like
What level would you say these guys are?
>>290082480the gnome engineers are my favorite recurring extra characters
>>290082621Just because ghosts exist it doesn't mean they're the souls of the deceased, and the existence of resurrection magic doesn't prove anything either since all they seem to do is healing the body.

>>290082414...so senshi has always been half-naked under that beard?
>>290082799Souls explicitly exist in DunMeshi. Go back and read the prior chapters.
>>290082785ground floor, I suppose. It's the castle courtyard, I recall. Numerical level? IDK. The dungeon gets a little abstract not too long after this.
>>290082832he has a shirt most of the time. like a tank top
>>290082574if it's illusion magic, how the fuck laios physically got inside
>>290082611Thanks OP
>>290082887DnD level
>>290082010>women
>>290082886I know, you silly. I'm just saying that his scepticism isn't completely unjustified.
>>290082172>>290082194I like this bit of Laid character, he isn't a total monster weeabo, he KNOWS the mfs are still wild and will fuck people up
>>290082963You're clearly not following what me and that other anon are saying. He's drawing the line at a completely arbitrary point. His skepticism is unjustified when the supernatural is already known to exist.
>>290082010Honestly, the signs of Chilchuck being a dad were there from the beginning. Total dad line to Marcille.
>>290082032Fabulous Senshihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBw3qzf4s18
>>290082190All of them but Marcille must reek
>>290083000It's why I hate that people just call him an idiot savant. Guy takes his shit seriously. I mean, it says a lot already that a lot of what he's had to say is about killing, eating, and using monsters, rather than acting like they're especially precious or befriendable.
>>290083012Define "supernatural" in this setting.
At which chapter did the anime end. I want to read along with you from that point onwards
>>290082232>>290082256>>290082278>Kelpies are the pitbulls of the dungeon meshi world
>>290082232awww she's smiling :)
>>290082556So alcohol isn't humanity's oldest friend, it's actually necromancy
>>290082911Magic
>>290083165anime season ended on chapter 52 iirc
>>290082574It's ok, it's magic AIslop Laios, it's not alive.
>>290082451Fantastic little chapter to show off the characters and have them come together. While the focus is definitely Marcille and Senshi, I think the party as a whole did well to come together a bit more here. Except Chilchuck. What an ass. >>290082499They hate him because he spoke the truth. 100% do believe that Laios would take that one ork girl at the end as a wife-consort.>>290082515I love mimics being in far more things than just chests. When I play adventure games, I love using mods that add precisely this. >>290082544Has anyone else watched that movie, Empire of Corpses. I don't have any of my fingers on the pulse of what people like and is popular, so I dunno how it stands, but it was a fun little globe trotting movie about precisely the bit about souls and the undead, with the "bodies get lighter" thing mentioned here>>290082574>most of the deaths are starvation That answers last thread's question>>290082611Thanks for the read, OP
>>290082414oh no
>>290082805>>290082515yeah, for sure
>>290081983What a coincidence I just finished volume 2. Delicious in dungeon is peak comedy
>>290083069Why would you exclude marcille?
>>290082213>Laios acted before things went wrongThat's good leader behaviour, but of course, the rest of the party doesn't
>>290082063Marci feets
>>290083154Yeah, it's clear that while he admires monsters, he also respects them. He's not one of those retards who goes to pet a tiger because "cute kitty".
>>290082314The thing about animals is that their instincts are a lot stronger than those of humans. They can seem almost mechanical, for lack of a better word, when their instincts are triggered.I can believe that Anne really did have a bond with Senshi, but him getting on her back registered it as prey behavior and she acted automatically.
>>290082799I like how MiA does it where souls exist but are inexplicable aberrations limited to a specific location in the world and nobody knows what the fuck it means to have one
>>290082407Why not take off Senshi's helmet?He has no problem taking it off at other times.
>>290082386>>290082407Character growth senshi
>>290082499NTR laios
>>290082515Cute as fuck
>>290082451I've always considered this to be one of the most important chapters in the series because it's the first time Senshi is completely wrong. Up until now Dungeon Meshi has suffered from being a bit formulaic where Senshi was always right and solved everything. This chapter lends him much more depth, not to mention how it foreshadows his backstory.
>>290082556Nice men moment
>>290082432This is the first time I notice that is not senshi's tongue but part of this helmet in the second to last panel. kek
>>290082574This is kind of fucked up>>290082611Thanks OP
>>290084104iirc he hasn't taken it off in the manga by this point.I think him without his helmet was something of a reveal, even though he looks like how'd you expect.
>>290084039Pretty much
>>290083615Wait 2 chapters for your answer, or 3 chapters.
>>290083615Because elves are built different and because her womanly scent is aphrodisiac.
>>290082194>he knows this because he had the same idea and tried itkek
>>290083909>He's not one of those retards who goes to pet a tiger because "cute kitty".I'm not so sure about that, the reason he's suspicious of the kelpie is because he already tried riding it and suffered the consequences.
>>290082574Doodle Laios goes on to become the main antagonist in Dungeon Meshi 2.
>>290082611thanks opsama
>>290082083Love how to this chapter he's built as this awesome sage of transcendent wisdom and then it's revealed he's also a dork with his own quirks and foolishness too.
>>290082063concentrate your chakra to your feet, senshi
>>290082172>le adventure>>290082194>why is everyone so soft on mammalsthis is one of the low-key best lines Laios has in the first few volumes, kek, always gets meI just love this chapter, possibly best one since the mandragoras
>>290081992CUTE
>>290084104it has not come to that... yet
>>290082010lol I love Chuck
>>290082414This page is fucking top>>290082432would be fucking hilarious if he stayed like this till the end
>>290082172She really wants her prince on a horse
>>290082499>Nothing beats long earstruth reveals itself in unexpected moments
>>290082194I love that Laios has a full appreciation for monster. He understands the danger and still loves them.
>>290082574soma fucked me up and so does this
>>290082278Laios is a real beast for being able to take it down like this
>>290082314>Kensuke spitting out waterHeh.
>>290085916Why did Laios, an American, give him a Japanese name?
>>290085916fucking hell I never noticed
>>290086046Because the pun is preserved even if it makes no sense in English
>>290086046Ken is a given name in both English and Japanese. This is why there is a brand of imported Japanese electronics named "Kenwood".
>>290082480Golem dev crunch time.>>290082574>you doodle, me Laios>me hoy minoy
>>290083373> 100% do believe that Laios would take that one ork girl at the end as a wife-consort.Doubt it, Laios isn't so heartless as to force that role on someone who is so clearly against it. This isn't even a 'Laios is too socially inept to notice' thing, even he can notice someone outright sobbing at the idea of marrying him.
>>290086046I didn’t know Ken was meant to be Sword but I assume Suke was a play on Suki which is Love.So i’m guessing their full english name is Sword-Love.
>>290082611Thanks, anonsito.
>>290086426>>290082463>-suke is a common suffix for boys' names.
>>290086426Suke is just a common end part to names for men, with 'suke' essentially meaning 'help' as it was used in a fair few older job titles like 'person who helps with/does this thing'. In effect its just Laios giving his sword a very simplistic/not super complex name since 'ken' just means sword.
>sword-boyhmm, doesn't roll off the tongue well for some reason
>>290086645I think EHScans initially translated it as 'Engarde' which was a fun idea but definitely a departure from the original idea. Probably for the best that they left it unchanged officially (just like how they didn't change Senshi or Namari's names despite them being japanese words too), especially since, from what I heard, that Kui or her editor didn't really want it to be changed either.
>>290086617Depending on the kanji, it can also mean shellfish, though I'm not sure if this was an intentional pun.
>>290082532Double punchline. Heh
>>290082515Hermit crabs do this in real life with trash. >>290082621Like many concepts Kui is drawing from real lifehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21_grams_experiment
>>290082532Huh, does that mean Izutsumi's christmas gift was actually good?
>>290086617>>290086541The original iteration of the name probably comes from saving kids from infanticide. Kaisuke, bought and saved.
>>290086046>>290086617remember that japanese is the language of the work? It's just supposed to be a generic name everybody understands, not a foreign one. Even if it is confusing when eveyone actually has foreign names in general, so you expect actual japanese names would be foreign to them.To them the name probably sounds like Sword McSwordface
>>290086883I think collectors would only pay that much for the whole thing. How much would someone pay for cicada husks?
>>290086883Tansu did like it and said it could be made into a brooch.
