He couldn't really afford to kill Thistle since Marcille was dead and he had no one else who could res the party. He also has no chance making it back to the surface, get a healer, and then get back to the bottom of the dungeon in time. He both personally doesn't want to kill Thistle and it was the only reasonable move for him

Couldve forced him to res the others first

The plan all along was to talk things out with the dungeon lord. Marcille and Laios seemed to think it was a solid idea, but Chilchuck could tell it was going to end poorly.

That would have required freeing Thistle anyway, since he can't cast tied up. His only option for resurrection of his party was Thistle. He was overoptimistic in his chances of persuading him, but had no other casters to rely on.

Laios fucking Marcille's dead body wondering how is this going to help.

Basically every time Laios tells Marcille to do something, she ends up doing it. She doesn't think too highly of him but he still convinces her to try the weirdest shit every time
>>
Remind me how Sissle remembered Laios from the paintings. Aren't those monsters with their own conscience? Why did Sissle knew Laios from one painting to the other and then when they finally met? I remember thinking that was going to result in something time-travel related but clearly that wasn't the case. Still, I don't recall if that was explained.

>>
>>291476231
He doesn’t understand humans, that’s Kabru’s forte. Laios is just oblivious to this sort of stuff - we’ve seen it before with the gold peelers and Shuro. So his good intentions easily get taken advantage of.
>>
>>291475781
Kui is doing this intentionally
>>
>>291478622
I never played D&D so I wouldn't know how it's handled usually, but I feel like allowed truly dumb decisions with 0 chance of success would be hilarious and more RP-friendly. I'm sure that when DMing for new players who don't have yet a feel for the world, its rules, the different races and monsters' abilities and limitations, etc, it's expected that the DM will hold your hand a little and protect you from making dumb decisions, but when playing with experienced people who should know better, I say let them get burned a little.
>>
>>291477467
He thought the Mad Mage was mad as in he gets angry easily.
>>
>>291479440
Honestly I'd say he understands humans really well, he's shown great empathy and attunement to others at many times - however he is a huge optimist and, like most people, have a hard time identifying behaviours and traits in others that he doesn't have (envy of others, selfishness, greed,, etc)

She probably uses her dolls to fight/scout, and Kapoeira is too bad at magic to use her fighting style.

>>291481549
Kabru's stats is a perfect mirror of Laios' stats (except for social skills), Milsiril did a really poor job for not teaching him any support magic.
Actually I feel like she didn't teach him anything at all, and just left Kabru to figure out for himself how to battle by going against her dolls.

>>291481549
based on what we saw with Kabru going to the elfish extended family gatherings, 'likes fruitcake' is probably synonymous with 'likes being doted on by relatives'
>>
>>291481510
She deliberately trained him to be amazing at killing people but terrible at killing monsters so he wouldn't be able to clear the lower levels of the dungeon but be also be safe from the reprobates that hang around there.

She wants him home and far, far away from the fucking demon.
>>
>>291481594
don't you have to have magic aptitude in the first place? could be that he has a normal stat but he doesn't "get" how to do complicated magic. like kids with math.
>>
>>291481646
>>
>>291481631
That makes sense for someone who's shut-in.
>>
>>291481594
She taught him a lot about fighting humanoid opponents, at least. Part of it is probably on her for drilling fundamentals without explaining dungeons much. Part is that she can't explain dungeons too much because elves try to keep it classified. And part is on Kabru for paying close attention to people but a deep antipathy towards monsters that probably dulled his focus on the topic of creatures.
>>
>>291481631
>>291481721
Should have made Thisle a cake, that would have placated him.

>>
>>291481743
Why make Thisle a cake, when Laios is a beefcake.
>>
>>291475720
For whatever reason I have the memory of this whole sequence being very drawn out. I wonder if it just had large release gaps.
>>
>>291481749
She uses dolls. Kabru's inner monologue about fighting is about what organs to target. You don't learn about that through trial-and-error on unliving puppets.
>>
>>291481594
>Milsiril did a really poor job for not teaching him any support magic
Kabru knows how to cast waterwalk (even if he mentions never using it, probably because Rin was always around) so I think Milsiril in fact taught him the basics of magic.

I’m grateful that Kui is one of the rare mangaka who shows virtually no nationalist pride of the kind that compels many creators to inject it into everything they write. *Dungeon Meshi* largely preserves its European influences and inspirations, confining most of the more tiresome Japanese tropes to character personalities and food.designates most of the annoying Japanese tropes to character personalities and food.

>salaryman and idols are Japanese nationalism
Schizo.
Plus you fags >>291482525 should understand manga is targeted at Japanese audience. It only makes sense to include things that Japanese like and can relate to.
If you want to survive and not get axed even more so you should aim first for the local market before any dreams of being an internationally famous, which I think manage Japanese creatives regret nowadays.
>>
>>291482811
Salarymen, not so much, since its usually played off for laughs- but Idol shit is 100% a result of their obnoxious nationalism because of its cult like influence over the japanese population.

There is no reason why a medieval european inspired civilization should be having a fucking idol concert.
>>
>>291475714
Only thing turn me off from Dungeon Meshi was them fucking around while their friend was slowly getting digested in a dragon stomach.
>>
>>291482853
1. they werent "fucking around" they went back to save her immediately.
2. she was already dead when the dragon ate her but it didnt really matter as long as they could recover the body
>>
>>291482853
>them fucking around
they were making sure they were fully fed and rested, because being starved and exhausted was why they lost to the dragon the first time
>>
>>291482811
Anon there's targeting things for an audience and whatever the fuck Wano was

I'm American but if I read a fantasy story where an Abraham Lincoln looking dude recorded the lost history of the world in golden plaques that are indestructible and a gigantic plot macguffin as well as having fought alongside a historical character against a huge alien invasion or something, I'd think it'd be stupid. Especially if he was not mentioned at all early on and only got mentioned recently

Lastly One Piece was already gigantic long before Wano. So it needing to cater to the local market first is implausible, otherwise Wano would have popped up a lot earlier.
>>
>>291482853
slowly is the keyword. Dragon's supposed to be hibernating and digesting Failin so slowly they're supposed to have weeks to get down there, plus it's a world with res. Their attitudes towards their friends dying in the dungeon is very different then topside.
Also they're not really messing around, they're making record pace past the dungeon levels. Their attitudes are a little light hearted but that's just good control of their emotion and not panicking.
>>
>>291483029
If you can't enjoy something just because it's stupid you've locked yourself out of all the best stories in human history, let alone penny dreadfuls like one piece
>>
>>291476215
Laois might have a lot of INT, but he still has piss poor CHA.
>>
>>291483100
I can enjoy most of One Piece. Wano just made me roll my eyes with "and then this important thing is actually tied to Oden"

To be honest it's not really even nationalism, it's more wanking off Oden too much. If he didn't exist I would have no complaints about Wano's plot relevance
>>
>>291481510
>Elf that hates other elves.
Man, even some Elves dislike other elves. What's wrong with them?
>>
>>291483136
It's not like Oden was exclusively important, he was just one of dozens of important people in his generation that passed their will on to the next generation
>>
>>291483193
Poneglyphs I can accept as being part of Wano, if only because it is kind of related to seastone being made into nails only in Wano.

Oden being everywhere retroactively, with Roger, Whitebeard, having even met Franky when Franky was a kid, and having scarred Kaido too is egregious. He was way too tied to important plot shit.

Oh, you're allowed to do dumb shit that won't work, that's part of the fun. You just don't roll for them, you jump straight to the results. You don't roll when there's no chance of failure either.
>>
>>291482404
Oh, just you wait
>>
>>291484581
I like to rule that natural 20 is the best outcome and natural 1 is the worst outcome. Even if there's no chance of success or failure, it can still determine a more awkward win or a loss with an upside.
Try to kick down a door as an 18 STR fighter? A natural 20 means that the door flies across the room and knocks a bad guy out for free. A natural 1 means that you just made a hole in the door instead of kicking it all the way down and now the party has to enter the room one by one.
Try to seduce a dragon? A natural 1 means the dragon is enraged by your insolence and goes aggro on you specifically. A natural 20 means the dragon is so confused by your actions that it momentarily stops being hostile.

They didn't, they started using "Sissel" before the Bible came up and refused to change it afterwards because they already had printed the books.
>>
>>291482666
I mean dumplings and other Japanese food are already in the series. You could make an excuse of its sensitivity being knowledgeable but still

It'd also be like an American author put democracy and presidents in a more early medieval story
>>
>>291486336
Eh it was cool to the point of acceptable. I can allow the "we make all the badass swords here" and most of the other stuff.

Making it tied to Poneglyphs, Whitebeard, AND Roger is excessive IMO. Just one of them would have been good.

>>291475848
I want there to be a sequel to dungeon meshing- maybe about history and archeology, maybe - where Laios is massively misconstrued, turned into a figure of perfect legend and made into a better person than he actually was

>Lord Laios the First was a great warrior, made greatly with both brawn and brain. He conquered the dungeon in one grand excursion with his party, surviving its depths and out witting every enemy
>He broke the mad mage's hold and was said to have even eaten the demon's heart that empowered said mage
>It is said he was blessed by the gods, able to deter any monster and heal anyone with but a touch
>He had elder ghosts in his council, orc warlords as generals, mages knowledgeable in ancient and forbidden magic, Dwarven ruins in his purview, even the elven rulers aquiaced to his word
>He brought progress, curiosity, and unity the the tall-man lands
>A ruler so rarely seen in the history of the world
>>
I can't wait for the anime oh my god.. why is it still a year away
>>
>>291486293
ASOIAF American as hell? I mean there's a few historical conflicts which can be sort of similar to some American ones but those conflicts also have similarities to many European conflicts.

As for culture in Westeros, they don't have shit like apple pie, baseball, sending money to Israel, soul food, statue of Liberty, etc.

I mean Braavos has a giant Titan statue but that's more based on the Colossus of Rhodes.

In the Beast Wars cartoon they turned the female transformer Airazor into a male, which created problems cause Airazor has romantic scenes later on. Thus Japanese localizers created a gay romance.

>>291482510
You don't have to be racist against Japanese to find it a bit tiring when you see the "IS THAT RAMEN SOUP AND WHITE GRAIN RICE YABBA DABBA DOO" trope for the millionth time. Sure, Kui still couldn't keep herself from making a totally-not-Japan culture in her world, but to her credit its mostly shrouded in mystery throughout DM (like most of the others). For a manga about cooking and food from a Jap author that is simply an amazing display of self-restraint if nothing else.

>>291489684
Mental or not, they know what they're doin
>>
>>291488848

>>291489734
To Kui's credit she made a geographical area a Japan equivalent and the Japanese stuff we see in series is mostly from there. It's a lot better than shit in other series where people do dogezas and bow even if they're not from the Japan equivalent of the setting.

I think the best example of Laios having a poor grasp of understanding people are the assumptions he made about how they would react to his succubus. Marcille wouldn't be disgusted, she would be flattered and stunned and wouldn't know what to do, and THEN disgusted when it turned in to a scylla. Senshi would probably just go "oh, that makes sense, those two seemed close". Chilchuck probably wouldn't say anything because he knows how Succubi work, until it turns in to a Scylla, then he would be freaked the fuck out. He both thinks too highly of everyone and always assumes the best, and also thinks everyone sees him as a freak and hates him

I think it's you who doesn't get other people.
To women, sexual desire they don't reprociate feels like a violation.
This a fantastical scenario where his desire is (seemingly) revealed outside his will, but you could sort of imagine an analogous situation of a secret crush being revealed by someone reading a diary. The first emotional response is discomfort, then the mind goes looking for some sort of transgression to blame the anger on. She'd have to be pretty emotionally mature to notice that in herself and stop it.
Everybody else would be primed to take her side, since humans generally don't question whether a woman's sensation of sexual victimhood is justified. And since they already have a low expectation of his tactfulness.
Likely it wouldn't result in a court date, but they wouldn't feel as if they could leave him alone with her. If just to avoid 'awkwardness'.

If you talking about Dungeon Meshi, all demons are same entity. They come from infinity dimension so they have no concept of self-restraint or wronging others. There's no rape, it's just sex for them. They eat desires because in their natural form they don't have desires, so they need beings from limited finite dimension to feel the desire the demon can then eat

Should probably move over to spoilers.
The demon didn't develop a personality until it entered the finite world, so I think it should understand the concepts of morality and wronging others. It continuously shows its understanding of the inner lives of others through its manipulation.
Bro is not eldritch and incomprehensible. Hes simply evil.

>>291489718
Its surprising, I was just the same. I didn't necessarily think he was "good" in that sense, but at least neutral or disconnected from a human's view of good and evil due to being a being of power.
Still, when re-reading it's just so glaringly obvious from the start that he's deeply evil and untrustworthy

It's funny how we get all the information from Mythrun's backstory, but it's not really represented as a twist or character moment for "our" demon. If we'd ended on an image of the goat and then the lion immediately licking his lips it would have been a lot more salient.
The next thing we see of the lion is sincerely admonishing Laios, not coming across as a servile enabler at all.

It's not sadism, but it's extreme callousness and the victimization of others for his own base gratification. His personality is human enough that I'm comfortable just calling him evil.

>>291489227
Thanks for the read, OP
What a great little chapter. I also like that this feels like the first big step to Laios and Marcille becoming personally close. Before they were friends but friends through Falin, or friends through the party. After Marcille performed the ancient magicks and Laios stood up to the dungeon lord with his own tactics and magical talent, they truly seem to see each other now

I actually think it's fitting because they do go back and forth later on long after this on whether the Lion is evil evil or just callous or if it's just his nature that doesn't fit our morals/ability to live and the question of if he's enjoying it a bit too much

It's a great adherence to one of the story's core themes of not judging a book by its cover. An idiom all the more fitting since the Lion was kept in the book

Eating desires has turned him more and more human and ultimately he spends his last moment of desire being petty and cursing the one that took his pleasure away from him, so he can be judged as being evil.

The comic shows the existential fear of disappearing, and really drags it out, while killing is often depicted as quick and easy, so that affects our emotional reaction.

Eating someone's desire and murdering them are both a loss of self in different ways.
I think eating only some desires and not finishing the job like with Mithrun is worse than murder, because you're leaving them somewhat intact to understand what was lost and despair over it.
Murder is pretty binary. Either they died or didn't.
>>
>>291491876
But Marcille is mature all things considered. Like she’d recontextualize Laios’s attraction as an important step to attracting a millionaire playboy like Thistle; but she would let him down gently. She would only be angry/disgusted if Laios kept pushing, but since the succubi transformed, she would be too confused to form an opinion.

I don't think she considers herself that capable, it's more of a "they must see something in me, gotta try to not disappoint" and it's probably just a cope she's clutching to.

the sad part is, she was probably the only real option her parents had.

Pattadol is 82, elves reach adulthood at age 80. Her younger sister is probably not an adult yet.

Her eldest sister has probably been trained and groomed to be the heir and rule their estate once her parents pass.

This means that Pattadol was probably the only option her family had, the eldest was trained to inherit and rule and they can't risk them, the youngest is not even an adult yet.

it's like sushi with salmon

salmon was never used until 1980s, because before it had too many parasites to be eaten raw. It was only when Norway had an excess of farmed salmon with no parasites that they sold to Japan (along with refrigeration becoming more common) that salmon in sushi became popular in Japan.

so seeing salmon in sushi in any medieval fantasy Japanese settings is incorrect

Mostly because they're made by autistic munchkins that can't think about anything outside of combat anyway so the downsides never matter
