I liked the original translation that has him slipping into old English to show how deeply the curse ran, it felt more meaningful.
Also, this particular moment kills everyone who said the Lion wasn't evil because he didn't have human morality. Being this petty is something only a human can do.

The main problem is anime and manga are very different mediums, despite both being visual. A single panel double page spread is very impactful because it "explodes" out of the usually more constrained panels. You're seeing smaller windows then suddenly you turn the page and there's a huge one!

But in animation, every shot is, usually, the same size. So impactful visuals have to be achieved in a different way. Movement is also more of a constant, so you need to take that into account when making impactful cinematography.

Trigger actually just did this with Edgerunners 2, which has the excuse of using in universe cameras with different aspect ratios and then, in the climax, hard cutting from that to how it "actually" looks during the emotional climax. But it's not something that's going to work in Dungeon Meshi, so they need some other technique to simulate not just the look but the FEELING of that spread.

It was a fun time. The growing realization that Kui wasn't going to pull the usual quick wrap up but actually give us several chapters carefully touching on most of the important characters and where they go from here. And then we got all that epilogue bonus material.
>>
>>291899321
Oh, it switched out to the inner (feathered?!) Laios in the dark space because the lion crawled down the monsters maw.
I didn't get it when reading at first, I thought it was just a "dimension shift" back to the place where they made the pact earlier.

The deceptions and lies, and even killing Mithrun, are in alignment with his goals of fulfilling Marcille's desires or getting free to go ham on desire granting/eating.

Do not mistake negative actions for spite. Consider the purpose of those actions.
The curse is SPITE. None of that other shit is.

I am not sure why people would think that because it's stated pretty plainly that he acquired most of his traits from humans. He ate human desires and his mind became human-esque in thinking. He's not bound to that, sure, because he's still a force of nature, but he's pretty much has a human mind.

Top right is probably one of my favourite Laioses in the entire manga, his expression feels like such a perfect blend of absentmindedness and total clarity, it evokes the same emotion as watching the Lion gracefully lean outside of panels despite Laios here being perfectly confined inside of his. At this moment its like the Lion and Laios have reached equal footing, not in power but in understanding.

It was probably necessary that Laios added all those miscellaneous abilities. If the only ability he put was being able to digest and eat desires, the lion might have realized what he was doing and used rules lawyering to circumvent it somehow. By hiding his eating desires power among other random ones, the lion likely overlooked it as "fuck it I am so close just grant all of his stupid wishes"

Laios wanted all that shit and also wanted to eat desires. But he probably knew the demons desire is what drove it.

Fortunately he had pages of monster powers he wanted to be able to hide the one power he truly needed (and wanted to try out)

He absolutely knew. The demon literally explained it to him last volume. Then Laios went "oh I see, that's what motivates you" and wrote "can eat and digest desires" onto his OC offscreen.

After the demon explains what motivates it, Laios tells everyone he's going to defeat the demon, and he's going to eat him to do it. He then executes on his plan and it works.

I'm still not convinced this was his brilliant scheme from the start and everything has been all according to keikaku. I think he added the bit about eating desires out of genuine curiosity before forming the plan to wish the demon away. When he was the dungeon lord, I think he really genuinely caved to the demon's temptation, and this plan was improvised for the current situation like when he had to form a new plan for the red dragon.

Come to think of it, when did he learn the demon could eat desires? I'm trying to think of when he would even have opportunity to write it.

He learned it, and then the manga follows Kabru for a bit as the human forces fight and lose. Then Laios walks up to talk Marcille out of it. He had plenty of time to scribble something while off-camera.

And like, the scene is that Laios is thinking defeating the demon is impossible because "the demon's not alive. It has no instincts or habits...no bones or flesh or blood. We can't kill it. Eating it wouldn't reduce it. I can't predict what it will do...and I don't know what we should do." Then the demon shows up and explains its habits. Laios goes off camera for a bit, then when he comes back has a plan for defeating the demon.

There's no indication anywhere that Laios is curious about eating desires until after he's eaten one, and even then it's a curiosity about how it tastes. Meanwhile his goal is to defeat the demon and he works to getting that goal.

What do you think this line was about?

Hmm... writing it in the middle of that kerfuffle does make it seem rather deliberate, but I really don't see Laios out-bluffing the Lion. The embarrassment on his face when they were negotiating was far too genuine. It looked as if Laios had yet to even admit to himself that becoming his OC was his true desire. Even after the Lion curses him, he didn't learn what he meant by "greatest wish" until way later.

>What do you think this line was about?
Gonna need to see the raws before that convinces me of anything. Here's how the scanlation wrote it.
>>
Always thought these last few chapters were gnostic as fuck.
>>
>>291904913
Same, also that wistful stare into the distance on the previous panel. He mourns the passing of his current existence and stands watch as those final moments pass. People call him petty here, but I think Laios might have gotten away uncursed, if he hadn't intruded upon this very moment. And while Laios tries to offer a new perspective on that loss, only the Lion can grasp how long a journey comes to an end here. He basically made the lion remember that he's still there at a rather bad moment. That glance backwards has a lot of "Ah, yes. You." energy.
>>
>>291905817
I feel like Laios defeating the Lion is pretty similar to all the other monster encounters
>go in trying to defeat it X way
>X way fails, Laios, being a keen observer and someone who tries to understand monsters on a deeper level adjusts the plan
>Laios bests the monster and eats it
>>
>>291906333
i think it's just inherently in his character that he'd want to eat desire when he found out that an impossible monster was doing it
>>
>>291903379
The Lion can only give him what he actually wants.
Laios was genuinely curious about what desires tasted like, and that's why he added that to his monster.
Maybe he incorporated it into his strategy deliberately, but it was a real desire.

He understood humans on an intellectual level, but he never knew what it was like to actually be human until he reached the surface in Laios's body.
>>
>>291899666
How does the Lion even still have a desire to fuck over Laios?
>>
>>291899561
Just like with Thistle, the imagery is rapey, but this is arguably worse than rape tbdesu.
>>
>>291907095
Laios didn't eat that desire

Or the lion developed a new desire for vengeance
>>
>>291907148
If Laios left it with only the desire to fuck him over, and it became all magic in the world, he's really lucky the curse wasn't more severe.
>>
>>291907095
Well the lion could do anything without desire he just wouldn't, with this exception. Why? Good question... Hmm... He's still a sentient being, so he might have done it out of an intellectual understanding of revenge. He won't feel the rage or satisfaction of it but more of a "Oh you did this? I guess I shall counter with thus."
>>
>>291907095
He says just the other page its "disapearing"
not gone completely
He's using the last few moments before its completely gone to curse him

>>291899739
Probably within 20 minutes they went from we have to stop Marcille, to we have to stop the Lion, to Laios has to become the dungeon master, to OH NO THE WORLD IS GOING TO END, to the lion is defeated. Like a couple of minutes of that was just the Lion eating everyone and the gang just being mind broken.

Why didn’t the Winged Lion eat just the desires of super old dying people and not grant monkey paw wishes?

Because he was bound by the dungeon, he only could grant and eat the wishes of the dungeon master. Also that wouldn't have satisfied his appetite.
>>
>>291905939
yes it was true as of the time of that writing
the demon didn't make humanity nearly go extinct out of his own will, it was just fulfilling a wish
the demon however subsequently LEARNED malice due to continued human influence, because it realized that trusting humans down to the letter made itself suffer

He could have just…not attracted attention to himself to begin with. This was the only reason why he got locked up in the first place.

I always kind of wondered how people can walk away from Dungeon Meshi thinking so lowly of Laios or having such surface level reads of his character, falling into the traps that the side characters do in this series despite being able to see the consistent truth of his character, and if there's anything that these discussions in this daily have illuminated me about, it's this:
You niggas just fucking HATE Laios and do so irrationally.

There is nothing more to it. Even when all of this perfectly fits his character and ties into every single theme the story has had up until this point, you just decide "mmm, nah, I just don't think that would happen"

>>291901863
It seems to imply that the Sprites eventually develop into a Demon--Sprites being the part that mesh into the demon--since casting magic is otherwise communing with sprites and this would explain how there's multiple iterations of the Demon that formed across the world

The better question is whether the Lion is the Ur-Demon, the true head of the gestalt or the original piece of true consciousness, or if it's different due to having entered the world with consciousness instead of gaining from Human interaction.

Actually in general this is raising another thousand questions, goddamn.
>>
>>291908150
If you recall, he was a much less developed ego before the Dungeoning. It's pretty clear everything after becoming sealed to the dungeons is what led him to develop his more complicated personality, especially the realization how temporary it all could be. After that is when he REALLY started having to play things more smartly.

A Demon that never got locked up is one that never realized that was a possibility and thus couldn't avoid it happening.

I always kind of imagine there's a brief second there were Laios's words touch what heart the Demon has. Laios really is speaking an emotional truth here: desire constrained the Demon, it's not only the only reason they could stop it, it's the only part of the Demon they ever COULD stop. The part it gained from being in a finite universe.

But then it spends its last moments of ego deciding to fuck Laios over.

The lion has gained a desire for vengeance and pettiness.

His original desire to eat desires is gone, but he still has been altered by this world. He probably didn't even know what vengeance was before coming here.
>>
>>291903379
The lion feeds its appetite by fulfilling human desires even if the desire impacts his ability to feast down the line. That's what we saw with that one human who wanted the lion to destroy everything, it still did it to eat his desires at the cost of all the humans it could have harvested later.

It's like an IQ bell curve meme with Laios.
People who don't understand him and only see his accomplishments think he's a great hero of myth.
People who do understand him a bit and have seen his blunders think he's an idiot who can't plan for shit and succeeded because he just got lucky.
Very few people (in-universe, I think pretty much only Falin) know that despite being very flawed, he's a genius in his area of expertise and a master of using that knowledge to roll with the punches.

He got wrecked by shit he didn’t fully understand like the succubi, rabbits, Thistle; and mostly survived because of luck. He went to challenge the demon equally prepared, so people are going to think that he lucked out.

>He got wrecked by shit he didn’t fully understand like the succubi, rabbits, Thistle; and mostly survived because of luck
That's not really an accurate, and honestly they cover a whole spread of different results
>Succubi
Knew what was going on, did the right plan, lost because the team couldn't stick to it and they were unaware that they were in a central hive location
>Rabbits
Laios' plan worked as he expected it to. He had been prepared for rabbits since Day -1, and taking off the gorget is a declaration of expecting to die but wanting to try shit since otherwise they had a safety in Marcille. He didn't fuck up at all with the rabbits, just with underestimating how much he'd traumatize Marcille further.
>Thistle
The actual complete fuckup in this list. Not much to say.
>>
>>291910036
The Thistle fight is key here, because Laios pulled off an impossible feat via his knowledge of dragons. Everyone else got wrecked instantly (while Laios tried to help them) but Laios used his knowledge to win. He only lost when he missed his Persuade check.

Against the lion he's freaking out because it's like nothing else on earth, then the lion just tells him what makes the lion earthy and he's able to use that to pull out an impossible win.

He lucked out in that the rabbits ONLY attacked the neck. If they attacked anywhere else Marcille would have died too.

The final gambit was skill on his end, but the dragons mostly stumbled on each other before that point.

Laios is great at seizing opportunities but he isn't that great at planning. A point Marcille made when they first met.

>He lucked out in that the rabbits ONLY attacked the neck. If they attacked anywhere else Marcille would have died too.
Not necessarily, attacking the neck is the only way they can be instantly lethal, Marcille has a decent chance with her magic if they can't just 1shot her even if they cut her up pretty bad she just needs to get off one spell and then she can heal herself.
If the rabbits were a normal enemy they could have just fought them off normally and the gorget wouldn't have been that important in the first place, it's only because they can instantly kill anyone who's neck they can reach that they're such a threat, and while Laois didn't know that for sure he did know the gorget was supposed to be important.
He got a little lucky, obviously since he was dead for most of the encounter a lot of it was just out of his hands, but he did prepare as well as he possibly could have with the time and equipment he had, he made sure the most important party member was the best protected, and he took the necessary risks himself to accomplish his goals and it worked out basically as well as it could have because of it. They could have not gone after the rabbits in the first place, but then they'd have nothing to feed Falin, and they could have spent longer trying to prepare but they didn't know what was so threatening about them anyway and were short on time, they could have left someone behind in case they got wiped out but in that case they're fucked anyway since if they leave Marcille she would be safe but unable to res anyone and if they left Chil or Senshi or whoever they'd just be sitting uselessly until they followed and also got instakilled by rabbits.
Like yeah obviously some luck was involved, thats going to be the case in an extreme life or death situation, but it worked out as well as it did because Laius made a couple of very key decisions first.
>>
>>291910524
>He split off from the party even though he knew it was a bad idea
Oh yeah definitely. The succubus situation was totally a Laios fuckup. After you replied, I went to double check the chapter to make sure of everything so the discussion could continue, and yeah I was mixing some of my memories of Laios and Chilchuck: that Laios did establish the need to stay in pairs but Chilchuck being the one to actually say that they need to kill each other's succubi, which I remembered as the overall plan.

It's a shame the other douche nozzle can't actually reply as a non-faggot, because if the discussion ended with him showing there was no point in moving forward, then I wouldn't have had an impetus to go back and check until my next time re-reading Dungeon Meshi, and I would've been under this misremembrance until then.

>He lucked out in that the rabbits ONLY attacked the neck. If they attacked anywhere else Marcille would have died too.
Not necessarily, since even when Laios makes dumb decisions, he's clearly acutely aware of how such monsters operate, especially if he was so paranoid as to be equipped for so long against them in the off-chance one could appear. The implication covers that scenario well enough.

Seems kind of cliche for Laios to wish to transform into a monster that can literally and figuratively eat wish granting demons, and the winged lion couldn't even see it coming when it has mind reading.
>>
>>291910678
How so? He literally says "Ill be waiting for you Laios"
>>
>>291910826
>when it has mind reading
The Lion doesn't have mind reading, it has desire sensing, and Laios aired out all his animosity towards the Lion and his desire to "eat" him. It wouldn't really be hard to bury any fine details inside his desire to be a monster, especially when the Lion can't really help himself either way: the best he can do is deflect to another desire, like he did with Laios, but he can't outright stop them even when it'd be to his benefit, like with Marcille

True but if the lion knew that Laios could take away his desire, he could summon a gigantic ball and chain around his beast form to pin it to the ground and keep it far away from him. Or magically form a gigantic cage around him.

It's immune to magic but we see the Lion has no issue doing physical harm. And a cage or chains are within the realm of his power.

Heck, he could have made dozens of other beasts to kill Laios right after. Lion just didn't think Laios was any threat to him so he kind of toyed with him instead of treating Laios like a huge threat.

Lion had dozens of ways to beat Laios even at the end, it was him not knowing the danger of Laios' desire eating power and his overconfidence that did him in.

Ah, death drive/thanatos.

This doesn't contradict the demon backstory we got, but it does contextualize it: originally it really was raw magic and the little sapient mote that started eating desires and granting wishes only came about after humanity used magic and antropomorphized it for quite a while. Funny how it also feels a bit like modern AI.

What we've seen of ancient magic seems more like a loose collection of taboo subfields than anything very specifically having to do with the demon. Like Lycion's shapeshifting or Marcille's resurrection of Falin, which is verboten where normal resurrection isn't even though both have to do with manipulating souls. It's not quite like FMA where human transmutation is obviously and palpably different from normal variants of alchemy.

You have to keep in mind when he wrote desire eating. The lion latched on to his arm after leaving Marcille’s tower, so he would have written it earlier because the lion would get suspicious. Saying that he planned it since Koutaro Kujo spilling his spaghetti and ramen with Marcille is a bit of a leap. Like he probably wrote it out of curiosity and later realized that it could work.
