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.


This week we get learn a lot about the phenomenon known as “dungeons”. Marcille points out that the dungeon they are in has been carefully designed accounting for a mind-boggling amount of complexity, and that she studied the science in school. But then the dungeon that Falin discovered seemed like a natural occurrence?

So which is it? Man-made, or natural phenomenon? And can the dungeon master really be taking every little detail into account? Are they omniscient within the dungeon?

This is the tipping point. This is where the story begins to crack open the floodgates on what is really going on.


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.

    Was there something specific that gave Laios food poisoning?

    Everyone was eating the same thing, so at least someone else should have gotten sick.

    Or it seems just like Laios could have squirreled something strange to snack on in secret later.

      Laios’s condition was the lingering effects of having eaten the kraken parasite raw last episode (I think). He snuck a taste of it raw while the others waited for it to cook.
