>>291816229What a majestic creature.
>>291816383>>291816396These pages have always disturbed me so much. So craven, and made worse by how casual and somewhat passive he is to the whole thing despite committing such disgusting acts.All the more fitting that he's a pig, what with what previous threads had to say about those creatures
>>291816447What the actual fuck was his problem?
>>291816456he tiny and building big
>>291816383Trippy shit.This scene and few more similar ones should freak out new audiences catching the anime late soon.

>>291816300>ate the bubble Incredible way to portray that.
>>291816425>>291816447What an irresponsible mfer. Just give it to somebody else that still likes it and wants to carry on.

>>291816220OP what kind of fucked up timezone are you posting on
>>291816245Gawd damn, Lion backstory already. I know we're in the endgame but this really drives it home. I love this stretch of chapters.

we also crossed the today > tomorrow threshold, so fuckin uhh, anotehr oneChapter 88
>>291816646Thanks for the read, OPI do like how even this chapter kinda rides the line about what exactly the Lion is, morally speaking. How much of it is nature, nurture, and choice, and he even only comes into being in this world by pure and strange cosmic chance.

>>291816729Let it never be said the Lion is a poor host.
>>291816383>>291816396Honestly might be my favorite interpretation of a demon in any work of fiction desu.
>>291816396Do you think Kui ever played Don't StarveWhen I think about, DM and DS have a lot of shared themes>pig king gives you gold if you give him meat (meat is easily gained from killing pigmen)

>>291816876>"Are you sure?">"Shit I didn't expect him to do that"Laios.......
>>291816876Maybe discussing your whole plan out loud with the enemy right there wasn't the brightest idea
>>291816876>is that REALLY what you want>yes>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q60CmDFc3EA
>>291816750Completely airtight plan
>>291816876My man had no back up plan for any kind of resistance.

>>291816829>If you're gonna kill me I want Izutsumi to do it>She'll put me down clean
>>291816906Really gotta wonder how much of this is Laios' actual thoughts and how much of it is baiting the Lion even further, since he knows he's in deep and is getting read
>>291816964tzeentch ass design
>>291816970Yo lion going a bit too deep there man
>>291816970Hagcille....
>>291816646What a fucking trip of a chapter. Primordial evils, man.
>>291816923Damn, this paints a very big darkside to Liaos

>>291817006Kui........?
>>291816970>I'll let "you" impregnate MarcilleSweet deal

>>291816555I know that feeling all too well, except for the genocide part naturally.
>>291817034it was just on the fur yet
>>291816764Taste in the DM world simply hasn't evolved to appreciate Marcille's outfit.
>>291816970My headcannon is that the demon actually granted this wish to make Marcille fertile
>>291817040Oh, this is not good, is it?
>>291817040I don't like this page
>>291817052What are you talking about? The lion just granted his wish dude. This is everything he wanted
>>291817064yeah, he wanted to be balut
>>291817052It is!PREPARE FOR THE ULTIMATE MONSTER
>>291817006>No homo
>>291816970>MARCILLE (999)I don't know why this is so funny
>>291817084You would be wise to join her gang.
>>291817073>>291817092It was a fool proof plan. You all doubted him. Apologize
>>291817092Izutsumi > Lion
>>291817092so this is how i would die after attempting to seduce her
>>291817092Oh snap!
>>291817092Cat saves the day once again. GG everyone, Laios I'll need you to roll a new character by next week

>>291817130Oh good, Laios is okay. Glad the plan worked.
>>291817130how dare you
>>291817130See, that's why he asked not to be revivedHe can do it himself nowThanks for the read, OP
>>291817130Thanks, OP!See you Sunday
>>291817130Oh noOh FUCK
>>291817130well that's all their problems solved. roll credits.
>>291816934It's all about proportions. You might have a teaspoon of salt in you but you're a whole feast. The demon can take a bite of that and take as much salt as it needs.
>>291817130OP are you drunk? You could just make another thread later.
>>291817130>Well you see I wished away the demon but he also granted my desires to not be killed by Izutsumi, and to live 1000 years with Marcille and Falin. This is all perfectly fine, let's go eat.
>>291816396https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PenTBKmeIkMOh we'll dance as we gorge at the prince's partyBless us oh bless us we're but tiny fiendsWe'll dance as we gorge at the prince's partyServing our Piggish God
Izutsumi was right. Laios wouldn't have simply executed the Winged Lion without a word. There wasn't even a fight. He would have stared at the corpse for a bit longer and agonized over not being able to eat the demon, with an embarrassed blush on his face
>>291816674Very cute lion
>>291817130evil Laios
>>291816970Cute oldcille
Kabrubros...
>>291817040uh oh
>>291816315The moment of corruption
>>291817213Don't worry, Laios may subconsciously desire to fuck and impregnate the mule and stay with her forever, but that's just because he doesn't know Kabru that well yet!
Just how the hell did SISSYel beat this thing.

>>291817130Thanks, anonsito.
>>291817247Retard. Delete this.
>>291816555>>291816576>>291816594>all this because the lion is traumatised from getting locked in the dungeon without his food supply after some fuck wished for world extinction
>>291817006>eat me like one of your french girls
>>291816738Gnwarlves
>>291817246He had everything he actually wanted in his kingdom besides Delgal, and the Lion was just an annoyance he wanted to shut up. Dumbass ate up Sissel's desire to make the people of the kingdom happy, but kept yapping about how they should have sword tournaments and shit.
>>291816396>Demon wearing underwear
>>291817130>Phase 2...start.DM is such a treat.
>>291817130>second health bar appears
>>291817043>>291817275I'm now imaging both Marcille and Kabru being really fucking confused about how it's even possible that Laios could even knock Marcille up given she's a half elf, while Laios keeps trying to convince them that she's just a rare 1 in a million fertile mule because he doesn't want everyone screaming at him for abusing the demon's power
>>291816555What a pathetic creature they are, at least back then.
>>291817352Someone wished for it.
>>291817247This is pretty spoilerific still though. You can delete it by clicking the box on your post and then "delete" on the bottom right of the page.
>>291816829
>>291816729
>>291817092This wouldn't have happened if only Laios had embraced his dark side earlier.
>>291816923>Laios might have been a school shooter if they had guns
>>291817404>Man I really wish I didn't have to look at these giant demon pigman testicles before being human sacrificed>"Wow, no one has ever had that desire before, granted!">"Wait I also desire not to get human sacrificed in the first place!">"You and everyone else in the bowl, buddy, booooring"
>>291816764It turns out Marcille's dorky outfit was just another subconscious desire that the Lion granted.
>>291817449ALL THE ADVENTURERS WITH THE MINOTAUR BOOTS YOU BETTER RUN BETTER RUNOUTRUN MY BOWALL THE ADVENTURERS WITH THE MINOTAUR BOOTS YOU BETTER RUN BETTER RUN FASTER THAN MY ARROW
>>291816970>>291817006Horny ass lion.>>291817026>>291817040>I reject my humanity, Kabru!>>291817130It's amazing how much you can mess with the vibe with a little framing, it'd still work even without the top half showing him putting the head back on.
>>291816764>Izutsumi's comments get a low energy hey.>Laios' more indirect comment makes her blush and feel embarrassed.People still say Laios and Marcille don't have attraction to each other.
>>291816975His origin story is quite a bit like the chaos gods.
>>291817006>eat me like...fuck, got beat twice
>>291817130Laios is now the strongest monster, everything will be fine.
>>291816280Gee, sure isn't ominous imagery at all
>>291816300Poor isopod got mindbroken
>>291816352Interesting, the ancient humans encompassed traits of all the races in their design (even fur)
>>291816576https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_MSFkZHNi4
>>291816625>I coveted those desires, I suppose
>>291816745Satan tends to be a wonderful host
>>291816407>No, a little shorterSo, this guy is the reason why Halfling exist?Why did he wish Halfling to be race with lowest age?
>>291816716Too late, already triggered the cutscene
>>291817789>cursing manlets with old age
>>291816797How interesting that a highly important point in the plan happens in a very small panel in the bottom left corner of the page
>>291817352can't just let your pork loins hang out
Meanwhile, Thistle is shedding a single tear in his piss and shit stained bed as the memory of Delgal comes to mind in his comatose state...
>>291816829>kill mode: engaged
>>291816936Chilling page
>>291816970iirc fan translation said "give HER children", rather than give Laios children.
>>291817893I can fix him.
>>291817130AhemThe plan seems to be heading towards the wrong direction.
>>291816934 I really dislike the explanation that all of what's coming was Laios’ secret plan all along. That’s not how it works. Laios doesn’t have the magical skills or the mental fortitude to hide any contingency plan from the demon turning all his attention to him. His entire plan was just as he explained to the others : make a wish to the Lion, count on the party to bring him back to sanity, and if that fails, get killed by Izutsimi.You might think it’s a bit cheap to have your character "luck out" in saving the world like that, but I think it comes down more to a clash between the Lion’s nature and Laios. The Lion's entire existence is unnatural and so it lacked the basic self-preservation needed to not give his enemy the ability to defeat him. While Laios' genuine interest in monsters made him wish to experience the taste of desire as the Lion did. Eventually these two natures clashed.
>>291816330I should make a batch of cookies, then eat the cookies, and bake another batch of cookies.
>>291817971The Yen Press translator seems to be a shipper, this isn't the only panel translated in a way that makes it seem more like shipping fuel compared to the raws.
>>291816829>Teleports behind you
OP, it's cool to skip Sunday too. If you're staying up later to push yourself or because your rhythm is off then it'd be against the series' spirit to post when you should rest instead.
>>291816396>>291816451>All the more fitting that he's a pig, what with what previous threads had to say about those creaturesA detail that I like is that his power correlates with his location on the food chain.When he's at his seemingly lowest, he's a sheep/goat. An herbivore.At his current power, he's a lion. A carnivore.At the height of his power and greed, he's a pig. An omnivore.And at the actual height of his power, he's a human.
since tigers are mostly bigger than black bearsbeing a werebear with a black bear seems like it'd not have many requirements, since Lycion was only a little bit too small to be a weretiger.It seems most tallmen should be black bear or tiger eligible.Grizzly and polar bear however are probably only for huge ass mofos.
Canaries stock status?
>>291817789>Yeah, I want to be smaller and weaker than everyone else. And can I please also have the shortest lifespan? I want to die of old age before an elf can finish grade school.>Uh... okay? Anything else?>Yeah, I want all of my senses to be heightened except for sight, since sight is the only one I can turn off at will if I'm overwhelmed.I think the first half-foot was just a masochist.
>>291818159Idk You tell me if this is more or less shippy
>>291816934I think he scribbled it with a fantasy of "If I had this, it could solve everything," but absolutely did not go into this confrontation with it in mind as part of the plan.
>>291817061We did it!
>>291816680The picture painted seems to be that he's just magic that developed desire.Maybe desire is the only difference between an inanimate object and a living creature.
>>291817112Yaad just got a front row seat to a murderin'
>>291818154Nah, the Lion is shown to not be infallible. It is gluttonous and bound by its nature. It's not all knowing either. It reacts purely to desires, and will fulfill them to a fault as long as it still has you as its lord. Laios hiding a poison inside one of his secret and even shameful desires isn't really that impossible of a thing to do, especially since all malice towards the Lion and the desire to eat it had already been put out in the open. Just in a way to mislead it into trying to monkey's paw or make a fool out of Laios for his hubris. It was a well-engineered snare
>>291817112>Wait wait. You've got it all wrong —
>>291816764>Izutsumi calls Marcille's clothes weird>she barely cares>Laios calls Marcille's clothes weird>she gets flustered and embarrassedI'm sure this means absolutely nothing.
>>291818154>>291818420>moral of the manga is that Laios ALWAYS has a plan and it's ALWAYS crazy and it ALWAYS works>anons still doubt this repeated fact up until the eleventh hour and in retrospectGet outta here Carbonara and go back to your canary mommy
>>291818443That evil bastard Liohan
>>291816923>laios used to dream of monsters killing everyone in his homeman he really didn't like his home much did he
>>291816646Marcille is cute all huddled up on Laios like that.
>>291817711beat me to it
>>291818461>moral of the manga is that Laios ALWAYS has a plan and it's ALWAYS crazy and it ALWAYS worksThat's wrong, he makes some good plans and he's good at improvising but he has failures too. See : the time he got caught by a succubi, the time he had Thistle at his mercy but still got ensnared, that one time that he tasted FUCKING SQUID, that time Marcille came up with the skyfish while he was trying to make his cool monster...In the end we see his inner monologue this chapter and it’d be weird for him to *not* think of his secret plan
>>291818154 I don't dislike the idea. I think a well planned snare would make for a more satisfying story. But I can't bring myself to believe it.
>>291818630>succubiraped>thistlegaped>skyfisheaten, Laios's wyverns would've dodged the hotpot >squidwe don't talk about that
>>291817092Post the Izutsumi nah if win snip.
>>291816779And now she's even got sex hair! MY DIIIIIIIIIIIICK!!!!!!!!!!
>>291818547He spent years growing up knowing that most of the townsfolk wanted to burn his sister as a witch just to soothe their own anxiety without , and that was why she had to be sent away
>>291818262I was sure i had this animated
>>291817040>>291816861>>291816468>>291816447In another manga these moments might also be OPT material but the crazy train is blasting off into outer space so it's all one moment.
>>291818710>>291818635oh, there it is
>>291818429In a way it's a sad existence that he was a natural force that through curiosity became saddled with the most base desire to always consume more that he took from those insects and animals. As he's experienced human desires he became skilled at rationalizing his actions in human sounding way, but all his supposed empathy is always still backed by his personal desire to consume. "I don't actually like eating the sacrifices, but it's what they want me to do," "They're all dead... I should've eaten them when I had the chance." The sensual way he revels in the consumption of Miithrun and Thistle. Like Laios said he's ended up grounded by human ways of thinking; and that's made his continued lack of self-control while keeping up the "all I do is grant desires(and then eat them)" facade more reprehensible.
>>291816315At this point the proto-lion is more of a victim. An innocent child getting introduced to divine hyper-crack then given 2 trillion dollars.
>>291816315>unfathomable eldritch horror corrupted by mere contact with our realityNot so fun is it, huh?
>>291818564Touchy-feely girl and guy who avoids physical contact duo is always fun
>>291817272>Out of your asshole and into the toilet when you finish digesting me, am I???
>>291817711Literally the first thing I think of every time I get to this part.
>>291816993>Join me Laios! And I will make YOUR FACE the greatest in Koridai!
>>291816594It's always done so well, how the fundamental desire is always for food. It started out with food, and after an apocalypse, it's food again.It all returns to food. God, Kui's so good it makes me furious.
>>291816646>The Demon's reaching for heaven on the literal mountain of human corpses created by its existenceFucking metal
>>291818324plummeting
>>291817355>>291817375This isn't even the second health bar or a new phase. This is the fucking first phase health bar filling all the way back up again. Fuck this kusoge.
>>291818159>>291818406I presume it was, as is often the case with Japanese, ambiguous in the original whose children the Lion was talking about, but given the context it was certainly Marcille's at least.
>>291818460This is another thing rendered a bit different by different translations: the scanlation implied it was more that Laios thought the Lion had forced her into it, and Marcille was flustered because they're genuinely the kind of clothes she would choose and so she feels insulted not just that they called them weird, but that they think they're so weird she must only be in them against her will.
>>291818937I think the official implying Laios wanting children is an odd choice. I think that he would want kids for Marcille because he's under the impression that it would make her happy, not necessarily that he wants kids or if she herself actually wants kids.
>>291818995I think that's an excessively asexual read of Laios. A lot of hardworking guys want kids in abstract never talk about it because it seems so far from their life in the whatever pit.
>>291818304It's not about power, it's about identity. The demon by their nature is always all powerful but just a reflection, it can't form original thoughts. It got eaten, so it ate in turn. People decided it must be a God that required ritual sacrifice, so it obligingly ate their flesh and learned to put on malevolent theatrics. It also learned of worship and subservience, and plied it when they imprisoned it. The role reversal was meaningless, there was no real loss of power, it was feeding still. That dwarf likely bought the world a millennia or two. But the demon learned about imprisonment, and the need to secure its food source. Its designs took shape from what human did to it, and Laius understood turnabout is fair play.
>>291819027I mean more in a symbolic, metaphorical sense.The more ravenous the demon was, the more ravenous of an animal it took the form of.
>>291819019I dunno. I can't really presume either way. He's a fictional character written by a Japanese woman.My point is that the conversation shifts to Marcille and the Lion using her as a way to manipulate Laios, so the mention of potential kids probably relates more to Marcille than Laios.
>>291817422Mayonegg
>>291816447Fucking dwarves
>>291816903I thought this was going to be>Lester, is this what you want?from Fargo.
Thistle is still warm btw
>>291818547He doesn't look like he had a great time there or in the army in the top panel.>>291816936>>291816949>not even bothering to point out that their asses are still getting gulaged if magic goes away
>>291817422
>>291816680the problem is that people want to slot it into a neat absolutely good or absolutely evil slot.Are humans evil for eating animals that are capable of suffering and love? Farmers can genuinely care for their animals even if they're raising them for food.The chapter proves that the demon is genuine in his love for humanity and his desire to grant them eternal happiness.But he's also unable to resist his hunger and his nature, granting desires that go against his interests.
>>291816923Let's hope Laios never gets any position of power
>>291819292>>not even bothering to point out that their asses are still getting gulaged if magic goes awayWhat are the elves gonna do without magic?

>>291819474You don't make a face like that a decade down the line unless you had a really good time thinking through every detail and/or thought about it a lot.
>>291819527True but also the Demon isn't just reading his mind, he's drawing his desires to the surface as he does so Laios is feeling it at intensely as how he did on his worst days as a kid
>>291816646i love this chapter. if you cut it out, you probably wouldnt notice but the insight into the demon and its backstory and the way it fleshes out the history of the world is great
>>291816576>>291816594Awesome pages
>>291817112Senshi has been freaking out every single chapter for a while. Poor Senshi was not ready for any of this shit.
>>291816447Cool, this is the final layer before Sissel's hunt isn't it? Makes sense that the way to destroy the world for a demon who cannot leave its dungeon is by making the races kill each other in a world war. Probably gave them access to better tech to do it better too.
>>291816229We get it kui, you really like the Lion
>>291819607It's also the most eerie and atmospheric chapter.>Roast pig demon minor time-skips; from enjoying the meal to lying lifeless on the floor, being whispered to to being improsoned>Loving kiss on a human skull>Wings as scene transitionLove love love this villain
>>291816447>4chan
>>291816779I don't get it.
>>291816646Great chapter Thanks OP
>>291816674Ahh man that means no chapter today....
>>291816764But I like them...
>>291816779Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!Somehow it's even better
>>291816829I wonder how kot felt here
>>291816923That's sad man
>>291816936Ooof he got him here
>>291817006Kui please
>>291816245so it was always here and wasn't summoned from the infinite dimension or whatever?
>>291817092My cat after I attempt to hug her
>>291819706If you don't think your main antagonist is one of the coolest motherfuckers around then why are they even your main antagonist?
>>291819513Considering how Falin herself took it, we should probably be a little skeptical of Laios's reaction. Not saying it wasn't bad, we have no reason to think it wasn't, but Laios seems to have a very developed sense of Justice. That is, it affects him deeply when things seem unfair. The inability to "get over" this stuff fits right in with that and contrasts with the gentler, more socially easy going Falin who never even seems to notice the bullying (her life at school seemed the same).
>>291817130>Laios' entire plan was that the Lion would become mortal if they switched bodies
>>291820000here since before the original humans evolved, at least, but after the cretaceous period, if we assume the history of the meshi world was the same as ours up until the demon started interacting with living things
>>291820064He has a plan B
>>291820119Or does he? Kabru would prefer not to know for sure.
>>291816764Not everyone groks with the gothic lolita fashion>>291816779She's kept that choker on for the whole adventure>>291816993Love the flushed look Laios has for the past few pagesThe Lion is totally playing him and he knows it. And he's embarrassed for himself>>291817130Thanks OP>>291817711>I swear to gosh if I mouse over this and it ain't Double King...You live another day, anon
>haha what a funny gimmicky manga about cooking fantasy meals>80 chapters later>riding hunger as one of the most basic desires to thematically plumb the depths of human ambition and how it defines who we are
>>291820207>Humankind cannot gain anything without first eating in return.>To survive, something of equal value must be eaten.>That is the Dungeon's first law of life.>In those days? We really believed that to be the world’s one and only truth.
>>291820266>Dungeon Meshi>Ahh, Dungeon Meshi
>>291820207I appreciate how similar and different the exploration of theme is from Toriko
>>291820266That comparison doesn't really work, that would be like Al doubling down on alchemy to defeat father and the Truth
>>291816934 I'd like to think he had the ultimate plan B if nothing goes by the plan. But he's unsure of it so it's plan B. But it's still the ultimate so he goes in with confidence.
>>291820394*EdwardIt's been so long I got the two brothers confused
>>291820394I just wanted to make a joking reference, anon.
>>291816936>>291816949It's funny how the Lion immediately starts arguing that all of this will remove magic from the world, which is, of course, not true in the end. Nor was it an obvious outcome of Laios's wish for the Demon to leave people alone. He's just playing him, of course, Laios is not knowledgeable enough to be able to counter him. Hell, the elves themselves aren't certain what'll happen to the world, and they should know better than anyone.
>>291819527I suppose so, but then again if somebody just told you your darkest childhood fantasies telling you how you still must feel that way you'd make some strange faces too. I guess its a bit of both.
>>291817112> Run before dungeon collapsesMaybe this is why Mithrun hesitated so much in killing Marcille?
>>291820266>There's no such thing as a painless meal, they just don't exist. >Sacrifices are necessary. You can't gain anything without eating something first. >Although, if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you'll find that you now have a stomach strong enough to overcome any obstacle. >Yeah... a tummy made fullmeal.
>>291820537Practically, that correct, as Lion itself is mana, or more specifically, infinity energy. So if he actually wish, Lion would actually bring his energy back into his dimension. Instead, the outcome would be like, the Lion's individual got faded away, and he just does not bother to bring energy back into his dimension
[Inside] is good. [Silly Campers] always play the best [Games] and make the best [Sauce].
>>291820119Did Laios win because his ultimate desire was to become the strongest monster? (so strong it can eat demons desires IIRC)
>>291816396BUONO
>>291816425Fuking dwarves.
>>291820000Yeah, the demons are basically just the manifestation of mana/magic itself after aquiring it's OWN desire
So are souls actually real or is this infinite eldrich horror just running magic based imprints with memories?
>>291816625>>291816646I absolutely love this chapter and especially those last two pages. It lends so much gravitas to the whole scenario and the demon as an antagonist. The realization just how deeply intertwined the demon really is with humanity's development, down to the existence of different races. How it arrived at its current state of mind throughout the ages. And those final pages as it reminisces about it's millennia old endeavor to fulfill its own desires, as the lion stares at the hole in its realm, freedom almost in its reach. Then the final page hits and you realize this is the endgame of something grand, as our heroes approach the boss room, as another anon noted. Everything still tying into the manga's main theme of desire, hunger and consumption in its various forms. Brilliant chapter.
Who fucked up the worst? Elves or Dwarves?
>>291820943The only reason the world survived the dwarves is because the demon missed a few survivors.
Was it a halfling that wished their people had even shorter lifespans than baseline humans, or was it a member of another race that wished it upon them?Or is it that the halfling lifespan is actually the baseline for humans and even tallmen wished for greater longevity, just not as much as the long lived races? Making halflings the only race with a natural lifespan
>>291816779I regret that Marcille was not naked when she washed out and this dress disappeared along with the dungeon.
>>291820661
>>291816797Cat tearing a female elf's clothess off
>>291816817spoiler:Chutefuck's effective words will do jack shit
>>291816817>"local" ?So they were totally off with the pork ramen, after all. I bet her actual home stuff would just be Italian pasta.
>>291816300how are they going to animate this though?
>>291821077Bring in the same people who animated Mushishi
>>291816407Wat did i miss somthing? Why the prev page ends with the woman whisper somthing then lion suddenly ends up in dungeon? How they brought it there?
>>291821141The demon is compelled to grant any wish even those that are detrimental to itself (possibly this is how he eventually learned to curate the wishes of his master).The woman probably told him something like "please go to this place and never gets out" and he's been following the command ever since.
>>291816300I hope the anime does this section like a watercolor picture book
>>291820661I love the Orz
>>291816674dumpy are you drunk
So, anyone want to guess which wish did each race/tribe wish for?
>>291818995I think you're overthinking it. We already know that Laios subconsciously desires Marcille a whole lot. The form the succubus took was Marcille with his preferred hair style for her. The Lion definitely knows that a deeper part of Laios desires her, and knows this can be used to manipulate him. Hell, the succubus episode was verbatim Laios falling to an extremely basic version of his exact "You can both be a monster and still be with Marcille!" pitch and the Lion was watching the entire time
>>291821187Does the race at that time smart/brave enough to wish that to the lion?
>>291821399They probably couched it in terms of "We have built a new temple for you, better than this one, please go live there forever"
Just find the raw and save everyone from trouble
>>291821399We aren't that different from the civilizations of centuries ago in terms of intelligence, the people in DM could have reached the same conclusions that long ago that the Lion was evil
I just can't see Laios as a sexual creature
>>291821215>Watercolor picture bookUninspiredDone to deathLazyKinda ugly when you get down to it>Live-action documentaryBoldDaringFull of lifeMemorable
I know you're just bored and trying to get a rise out of me so I'll pretend I didn't hear that
>>291821501This but IzutsumiI'm completely serious btw
>>291821578Same. I'd like to give her treats and pets but thats it.
>>291821578same honestly. Based on her encounter with the succubi I don't think there's anyone that she might even attempt to think about sexually that wouldn't give one half of her or the other the ick. Even when she looked at the panther morph and said "that part of me has good taste" it seemed more just respect for the fact that it was a powerful fighter rather than something weak, and not any kind of bipartisan attraction
>>291821578Personally I can believe Izutsumi wanting to fuck another cat, I just can't see her wanting to fuck a human.
>>291817026Goya.jpg
>>291821578She's too realistic and not "moe" enough like most anime cat girls.
>>291817073post the succ chapter, the can becomes the max-INT character of the party
>>291816829I love how kot is so fucking NINJA
>>291817213>Marcille only summoned the Lion once.>Kabru has actively switched the train onto the "world will end" track THREE fucking individual times with his actions>"I'm on the side of humans"
>>291821578She's a cat, unlike humans she will go into heat periodically instead of being dtf all the time
>>291821856It's well possible her anatomy causes her to neither go into heat nor menstruate
>>291816829She looks so cute here
>>291821913cats be like "what about dinner?"
>>291816245>>291816263>>291816280What if the first thing he heard was SEX?
>>291822246the desires for food still would have outnumbered the desires for sexthat said there's surely many dungeon lords that made the demon have sex with them. Even among the 'dungeon masters anonymous' group Marcille attended in an omake at least three of them were deeply in love with the demon
>>291820943The ones who made the unfuck this shit squad or the ones running the kill everyone society. Good question.
>>291816280Oh I get it.It's the origin of Dungeon Mites
>>291817026What does bara demon taste like?
>>291816229Wait. They're on the surface.
>>291816280What's happening in that last pic? Bunch of worms feeding on him?
>>291822505likewise treasure insects came from wishes for wealth
>>291817130Thanks for the dump you souse
>>291822534yes
>>291816352>>291816407Is this the implication that the demon was responsible for creating the various races of the world?
>>291816923I think there are a lot of nice people who are a lot like this part of Laios in the world.
>>291816383>Everyone dies, and the cooked, half-eaten animal revivesCreepy as fuckDefinitely can't wait to see how they animate it
>>291822576Yesapart from orcs and such that were made by mage experiments, all the major races came about because certain dungeon masters wished "make my people like this and like that"
>>291817112>AAH!Poor Yaad is just along for the ride
>>291816576This is the Winged Lion at his most crack addict under the bridge.
>>291817230That's what that scene always reminded me ofIt seemed familiar but could never put my finger on it
>>291822344Are you saying not even the cock can veat the demon?
Gnomes: give me magicDwarves: make my body strongerElves: I want to live for 1000 yearsHalf-foots: improve my sensesTallmen: I want to fuck elves (Tallmen are the only human variation capable of crossbreeding with elves)
>>291817440This image makes me wonder what would happen if Chilchuck somehow became dungeon lord.We got DL Marcille, Demon King Laios, Isutzumi's perfect, and senshi would be senshi but yeah.What would Deep King Chil be like?
>>291822718Giant casino
>>291822693>Tallmen are the only human variation capable of crossbreeding with elves)Wrong, there are Gnome/elf mules in some of the fluffI think in theory all men races can crossbreed since they have a close common ancestor, though I don't recall any Half-foot crosses
>>291822689Cock is weak in the Dungeonverse. It even loses to Flamela.
>>291816576
>>291822718Either "Lion, how do I make my wife love me again? How can I keep my daughters safe?" orGiant casino with a bunch of blonde busty half-foots hoes hanging off his arms
>>291822735Not bad kid, not badNow his style, his fit.
>>291817130thanks op but can you please lock the fuck in for the last few chapters at least
>>291822246
Dungeon meshi is so good bros
>>291821908Please don't say such horrible things...
>>291822796blonde busty half-foots hoes WEARING bunny suits and they serve drinks and food, anon
>>291817092Assassin mode activated
>>291818321yeah but why are halflings stuck with rats? They could get badgers or wolverines who are great fighters for their size
>taps the sign
>>291822246it would be a very different manga
>>291816970you know, that doesn't sound bad at all
>>291818321Imagine an Oni Werepolarbear
>>291822796why one or the other?With the dungeon power he could have both.He could be the owner of a great casino with big boobied blondes and make peace with his wife and give her and his daughters a great life with the money made from the casino
>>291817130yeah there's no way they win nowit's over, the lion won bigly
>>291822766I don't believe it.
>>291820986It might just be that the shorter lifespan came to be naturally because they didn't wish otherwise. As far as I understand it smaller organisms have a faster metabolism and shorter lifespan generally.
>>291823466Believe it motherfucker
>>291821501>>291821578The entire squad is made of virgins except for Chilchuck.
>>291822246>>291823262>Dungeon Sex
>>291823557Not necessarily Lifespan vs metabolism usually comes down to risk of predation. Less predators usually means more longevity and slower metabolism, which is what you tend to see when land bridges close and populations get stuck on islands
>>291817789>>291818365a likely implication is a wish corrupted by jealousy or misplaced empathyinstead of wishing for themselves to be taller, they wished for everyone in their tribe to be short to eliminate prejudice.another possibility is that it was out of necessity for survival. the modern half foot is characterized by being small, lightweight, and having much more keen senses than other races. this may have been a wish to avoid whatever was threatening them in their natural habitat. the only thing i can't think of is why they would want their tribe to be so shortlived too, but maybe that was a caveat of the demon's
>>291822246There are succubus demons in Dungeon Meshi. Those are the response.
>>291823588Would he be Chilfuck or the Chilcuck?
>>291816764>>291817125I dont like grown and muscular men wearing dressesDresses are for cute women and trapsbut laois is giving me thoughts...
>>291822246>>291823262>>291823606Delicioso en el Calabozo
>>291823617>Less predators usually means more longevity and slower metabolismI don't think so or it could also be true since nature is complex. What I'm referring to is the ability of larger animals to store greater amounts of energy relative to their body size due to the larger volume. They don't need to be as active, cell processes can be slower and thus aging should be slower.
>>291823262>>291823606>I wish these monster had more convenient forms for fucking
>>291816646I feel like I don't have the ability to articulate how good this is.Just... Kino, is all I can say.
Guys, I love the winged lion, he's so great.
>>291816367This scene hits so hard for me because I feel the same way about this manga. I wish it had been ~200 chapters at least. I'll miss these threads too ;_;
>>291816924If he has access to your memories yes.But it's all related to desires, so he wouldn't know memories that are unrelated to those.
>>291823956It's okay anon, we'll all be back next October.
>>291823956what do you mean? we've all been reading kui's new manga these past few months!
>>291823833Middle-aged chain-smoking fairy Madame is best girl
>>291816625He's looking at (YOU)
>>291823606Dungeon Seshi
>>291824372Dungeon Senshi
>>291823684>likes traps>but laois is giving me thoughts...You are already one step in the dark side anon.
>>291816970>I won’t let Marcille end up alone either>I’ll witness her final moments as you, alongside your sister>I’ll even make children for you, if you wishThe implications are outright. Laios, because of his lack of confidence regarding women and humanity, could never truly go for Marcille or any other girl himself and make her bear children but he would be happy having NTR lion steal her away from him using his skin while granting all her desires and making her happy while the real Laios has fun being a monster flying through the skies without a care in the world.Yabba dabba do!
>>291823606>>291824372>>291824393>excerpts from the paranoid journal of Chilchuck
>>291817073I like how Izutsumi leaves the panel and only the tail is still visible.
>>291817092
>>291816797Why don't they get Senshi to do it. The fact the demon is so horny for Laios should've been a redflag
>>291816829https://youtu.be/GTOVuzgEc4A?t=13
>>291816970He never said he's gonna make Marcille fertile or make children for HER. He said "children for you" with Falin being the other person he's keeping around
>>291817130Fire Punch ass page
>>291821141The Whisper was somehow an inviting incident or start of a scheme which gets skipped.In-universe reason:>The demon doesn't dwell on how. He might not have really understood it. They somehow tricked him and that's what he remembers.The out-of-universe reason:>The story doesn't have a hard magic system, so the author glosses over those details, they somehow tricked him and that's all you need to know
>>291820967The demon didn't miss anyone. It's just that for one reason or another, some people weren't living inside of the dungeon.
>>291821578>>291821578You've never owned a cat in heat. There's a reason they're always associated with lewdness.
>>291820967>>291826292The demon got every human not every animal
>>291826393What the fuck is wrong with you.
>>291823331>Godfather II and III but with Chilchuck
>>291826452Guy hints at how cat behave in heat and you think he fucks them.
>>291823142Because wererats are staples in fantasy games, but werebadgers and werewolverines are much rarer.

Any anons still around who read this for the first time now? How was your experience with DM so far? It's been a while since I've first read it during its release and I'm not sure when exactly it happened, but I think at this stretch of chapters, I was definitely in awe of Kui as a mangaka and storyteller.
>>291827617Your tricks don't work on me demon
Another one for Halloween season.
>>291827715And the last one I have on hand.
>>291827648I was always slightly annoyed at the confrontations. The fight near the surface, the canaries encounter, and every "the group gets away" kind of bothered me at the stakes the demon brings. I get the story would end if captain just telefragged The Mad Sorcerer (dark) or The Mad Sorcerer (dark elf) when he gets in line of sight but I think it meshes more poorly when it's "we're at the end game" compared to monster encounters.
>>291823644The wish for shorter lives might have been made after experiencing a long, nearly immortal life. The ones who felt longevity was a burden may have thought that they wanted to “spare” their descendants the burden of experiencing it themselves. The elves, then, would be the ones who adapted best to it and didn’t take any issue with living nearly immortal lives.
There is too much extra stuff, I never know where to look for things.
I wish the this entire tribe to be eternal loli/shota that sensitive to anything
>>291827648This was my first read. A couple of weeks ago I said fuck it and finished reading the remaining chapters on my own.I went in with very low expectations because fantasy RPG party dungeon'ing is usually extremely bland and formulaic, but I loved every second of it, the world and the characters. I think it has earned its place as my second favorite manga.
>>291827892I still don't know where the bit about Marcille and Kabru giving Laios backrubs comes up even though I'm sure I've seen it at some point.>>291828052>secondWhat's your first?
>>291828111>What's your first?kuroshitsuji
>>291827797>>291827827
>>291828142Patty really is the thickest elf we see. Fat big nose.
>>291828142>A single pixie is all that's keeping patty from having a wardrobe malfunction
>>291828176What is a pixie/fairy made out of?
>>291828156>kuroshitsujinot sure, we just automatically think Cithis is thinner because she hes huge jugs which makes you think she's thinner/wasp figure. But she meay actually be wider overall. Though perhaps Patty has worse hips to waist ratio since she isn't such a Barbie.Both are BMI 20 actually (Cithis bigger boobs tho).
>>291827892It's such a shame that the anime didn't adapt the extras at least to some extent. I think they enrich the characterization of the entire cast quite a lot. Seeing them in those semi-official side skits makes you that more attached to everyone, when you see them in the main manga. It's not that the manga can't stand on its own, but they're such a good addition to heighten the enjoyment.
>>291826741i forgor
>>291828142Pat's costume is kinda hot, if you think of it as actual bandages and the potential for wardrobe malfunctions.
>>291826686one word: sterilizationI wish there was a better answer
>>291828238Why are Patty's ears clipped when she's not a prisoner.
>>291828142SEX>>291828249The Reiwa anime did it, basically just posted the worldbuilding text block final pages at the intermission and before the ending. That was cool.
