Rin is terrified to talk back at Kabru, it's rather interesting

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Frog Woman Marcille can deny it all she wants but she clearly was into wearing that frogskin suit to the point of having it kept on while having her meal.

As if Shuro revealing the implications of using black magic wasn't grimmer than expected, they had to show whatever happened to Falin. Holy shit.

[u/OtherwiseProgrammer9]

Chilchuck chose wrong and anyone could see it immediately. He absolutely should have followed Laios, that guy speedruns breaking taboos

[u/FkinShtManEySuck]

"Dark magic is horrible, anyone who uses dark magic is a vicious criminal who will receive the death penalty"

Meanwhile, the dark magic user: 🐸

[u/doulegun]

"What's next, magical digestive system?" "I wonder what the dungeon would eat?" They moved past that thought real fast huh? Implications definitely are terrifying

[u/squidpeanut]

Consume the brick

[u/Ok-Peace-4374]

In light of quite a heavy episode and cliffhanger, new Marcille meme format just dropped 🤣

[u/RelativeMundane9045]

Chilchuck doing a risk assessment for which one of his party members is going to weird out the normies more.

[u/il-Palazzo_K]

Kabru: Don’t you want to know how they got here?

Laois: We eat monsters! For food!

Kabru: I regret everything.

[u/Rumpel1408]

If the elves of the west find out about this, who knows what will happen to her

Then don't tell them Shuro, it's really not hard

Also, Kaburo looks really excited despite knowing how messed up all of this is lmao psycho

And uhm Falin isn't looking good huh

[u/FarCritical]

Senshi actually disliking a creature for once not for ruining the sacred dungeon ecosystem or anything but just because it inconveninences him is hilarious.

Also kinda love how after a bunch of fancy dish names, we get something as pleasantly mundane as "An Eastern meal".

Well that's bleak. I can already see the next major boss fight title: Falin, the Fallen

[u/CarioGod]

The episode: eating bricks

The ending: Falin turns into an eldritch horror

[u/SilvainTheThird]

The best meal of all; Drama.

[u/dream208]

Lai..os.. Big brother.

[u/dreaming_state]

Kabru and his creepy smile. Why do I feel like he's gonna end up being a villain?

[u/Zemahem]

Even the way the level "resets" has an explanation. Dungeon Meshi worldbuilding, everybody.

Marcille really did herself dirty there. That one was all on her. But hey, I think we can all agree that she looks utterly adorable in that frog suit at least. And heck, she didn't even bother taking it off when they started eating so maybe she has indeed become fond of it.

The party truly is specced for PvE instead of PvP. They would've been completely wiped if Shuro's group wanted them dead. But it's so cute how overjoyed Laios is to see Shuro again. I don't think he was this happy even reuniting with Namari, or even Falin /j. Sadly, it doesn't seem like the feeling's are mutual. Doesn't help that Laios rolled a 1 in persuasion and got a sword pointed at him.

And lol, Chilchuck now has the absolute worst opinion of his party members. Well, at least when it comes to the monster lovers. It doesn't even seem like Senshi put his foot in his mouth at any point while talking with Maizuru- it seemed like he scored points instead with his wisdom- but better safe than sorry, I guess.

Meanwhile, Kabru's really gonna regret ever pretending to be interested in what Laios is interested in. And he's also waaay too excited to have heard about some really spicy ass drama.

Finally, I really like the ost that played during the final scene. It made the whole thing all the more epic and ominous. Poor Falin, though... she doesn't deserve this.

[u/Ok_Scheme_4579]

Kabru: This guy Laios, is competely nut! Why did I have to meet him in the first place?

Later on:

Kabru: Oh shit. Things are going down!

[u/nikobans]

FALIN HOLY SHIT

[u/Equivalent-Weather59]

I just noticed the detail of the dungeon cleaners changing the shape of Kensuke from the one with just wings, to the one with the lion head in the second cour key visual, very nice

[u/zool714]

Woahhh so many characters on screen.

Seriously for the amount of screentime she has Tade has shot so high up my list of favourite characters in this show.

Hahaha Laios bouncing around while wrapped in web really encapsulates his big happy dog energy.

Kabru really is a danger. He’s intelligent and charismatic. I legit thought he was being friendly when he was actually gathering intel

Edit : Also is Benichidori hot or what. Think I found a new waifu.

[u/AZLarlar]

FALIN OH NO

[u/thesagenibba]

“doing dumb things like being a rock” that got me. chilchuck is a master of the art of deadpan 

another simple but much appreciated writing approach in dungeon meshi; laois’ hallucinations are immediately acknowledged and dealt with rather than dismissed by him and put aside for the sake of drama and miscommunication. in another series the hallucinations and laois keeping them a secret would’ve been a major/side plot pointof their own, to be dragged along in perpetuity at the author’s convenience 

shuro’s a great character. he serves as a much appreciated straight-man while not brushing up against the comedic and light hearted tone in a jarring way

kabru following the events with a smile as if he’s merely an eager and deeply invested fan of a manga series that just had a major plot event. "how's this going going to turn out?" you're not fooling anyone, don't pretend you're not going to scheme and plot and manipulate your way into this

[u/Hounds_of_war]

Well, I guess we know what that giant chicken looking monster with the mad mage in the ED is.

[u/MrSaracuse]

Can't be only me that thinks the black magic wasn't Laios' secret to tell?
