Dungeon Meshi is a well liked manga, and an adaptation by Studio Trigger is now airing. If you haven’t picked this one up, consider joining us. Both for fun and as a way of contributing to activity on Lemmy.
We finally meet one of the other parties central to the plot! They don’t last long, but get used to seeing Kabru and his gang.
Laios’ new pet sword, Kensuke, saves the day! We again run into some new monsters, and hence, some new dishes! This time the dungeon food might finally be too much for Marcille.
I’m not sure how many of you read these, but in the thread for episode one I mentioned in the comments that the souls of people who die in the dungeon, are trapped there, and that this is why revival magic is even possible. Outside the dungeon, death is final.
With that knowledge in mind, the ghosts, and why they try to possess bodies, are a much sadder reality. And it makes Falins reluctance to hurt them all the more sweet.
Remember not to spoil anything if you’re a manga reader, but feel free to elaborate on tidbits of lore that may not be coming through in the adaptation.
I love how Laios doesn’t hide his affection for Kensuke, but does try to hide that it’s a monster.
I wonder how secret his pet really is to the others, considering he only gets that hyped for monster stuff.
It makes me wonder if he has to keep his sword pet fed and how it might dispose of waste. I thought that might be what he was doing when he took one of the coin bugs and was holding it close to the sword.
