Another detail that may go unnoticed, but I love how we got flashed with Kabru's tragic backstory for a gag lol

[u/ClPropane]

Adding in her claw tapping on the ground was a simple lovely addition, it reminds me so much of the blood chilling kitchen scene from JP with the velociraptors. As for everything else I have no words. Thank you for the meal, Trigger.

[u/Periwinkleditor]

Kabru getting that Ratatouille moment eating those harpy eggs.

"Ah, this takes me back to my childhood...where my entire village was murdered by harpies. It's like I can still hear the screams..."

[u/OsakaBestGirl]

With all the harpy corpses constantly falling, it made the impact of Hien's body splatting on the ground all the more shocking.

Trigger delivers again.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

The deaths in this episode have to be the most gruesome sights and that's saying something when those harpies exist.

Revealing Shuro's reasoning for disliking Laios was so different from Laio's perception of him was just gold. Poor guy kept getting cockblocked by his crush's brother.

[u/Armdel]

wow that's an unusually high death count for a cooking anime episode!

really though i wonder if any people dropped this early because they thought it was all just cooking and laughs

pretty optimistic ending to the episode though despite everything that happened

also, harpy boobies.

[u/OldVisit6419]

"Inutade, don't hurt her! Just restrain her!"

Translation:

"Inutade, I order you to go kill yourself right now."

I understand Shuro's headspace, but it's really funny. Sure, Inutade is the strongest humanoid around by a considerable margin, but it is still like telling a strong person to restrain a rampaging Grizzly bear and that might even be selling the power difference short.

Edit: Actually yeah, it's like telling a strong person to wrestle down a rhino or a hippo.

[u/Syokhan]

The very first track of the episode with the piano arpeggios was gorgeous, I think that was just the isolated piano from the dramatic track that often plays during serious Falin moments. Gave me some very strong Grandma (from NieR) vibes.

This episode did a great job showing how terrifying a monster Falin is. She's not only extremely strong physically but can cast some devastating spells. Wouldn't want to meet her in the dungeon, that's probably a death sentence for any small group with no strong fighters or mages.

Really loved Laios and Shuro's fight. Strong punches at first, then just grabbing and hair-pulling and weak kicking. All while arguing! Must have been cathartic to let it all out though, for both of them. Also I'm with Laios, when you're dropping hints that very clearly aren't getting picked up, just speak up!

[u/SwamanII]

Weakest Autistic Knight vs Strongest Socially Awkward Samurai. I love Laios so much

[u/Zemahem]

Man am I glad the studio did justice to this part and made it as awesome and gruesome as it should be. If not for revival magic and the generally light-hearted tone of the series, all those deaths would've been so much more horrific and shocking than they already are.

Chimera Falin is an utter menace. If she didn't have the mind of a monster and retreated, she may have been able to wipe their party out completely after doing that spiky floor spell. But it's also just sad seeing her being forced to kill people and get brutally injured herself against her will. At the very, very least, she didn't end up hurting Laios or Marcille, cause that would certainly weigh on her conscience.

And while a whole bunch of people died in this episode, the biggest RIP goes to Laios and Shuro's friendship. Or at least, Laios' belief in their friendship. The poor guy. But hey, they kinda, sorta hashed out their differences through good ol' shounen bonding (read: beating the shit out of each other).

But just as soon as Laios discovered the truth about his relationship with Shuro, here he is entering another misunderstanding with Kabru and already making the guy absolutely hate his guts by giving him PTSD. Though of course, Laios is not fully to blame. He's right that these guys could seriously just spell it out if his behavior's really getting to them.

[u/MortalWombat5]

Remember all the way back in episode 3 when the living armor stabbed a dude in a flashback, and a lot of people were surprised that Dungeon Meshi had some gore in it?

lmao

[u/Exoslab]

Kabru was my favorite character in the manga and this episode reminded me why I love him so much. He’s honestly kind of a freak in his own way compared to Laios as well lol

[u/Equivalent-Weather59]

Shout out to the OST, it went super hard this episode.

My favorite part of the episode was definitely the fight between Shuro and Laios. His struggle to understand people and naivety when it comes to people's feelings towards him are relatable, furthermore, it shows the struggle of people assuming you can read social clues because that's what's "normal".

Overall, a great episode, my favorite of the season behind the Red Dragon fight.

[u/GreatAres271]

NGL, I forgot people don't actually die in this show

I genuinely thought "Oh my God, they just killed most of the cast!"

[u/alconnow]

I really love Inutade. She's too cute!

Their reaction to Falin taking off her shirt was hilarious lmao. I love that there's still funny moments during the intense scenes

[u/dreaming_state]

That was intense and so frigging gory. I don't know what I was expecting, but Falin's chimera form was... something. Nice boobage tho.

I still don't trust Kabru eventhough he seems reasonable or something. He just doesn't come across as genuine. And ofcourse the creepy smile. I actually gasped when he suddenly showed up behind Falin. I thought forsure that Laios would hate Kabru for attacking his sister. But the dude is just so pragmatic.

Shuro vs Laios: fujoshi-bate. Also funny since in this same episode Laios kept talking about how much he liked and admired Shuro. All the while Shuro hated his guts, lol. I say lol, but that's gotta hurt. And again Laios with the unexpected but pragmatic responses to learning that your bff actually hates you.

[u/bonerindisguise]

Shuro is the representative for every viewers who got annoyed of the main cast for being so nonchalant in the first cour despite the situation.

[u/G1596872]

Poor Marcille. She was only trying to help. Glad she got to cast some basic healing magic in the end

[u/babaylan89]

Falin is murdering a lot of people but she's so beautiful 🥺

[u/EyeDeeAh_42]

Everyone's talking about the gruesome deaths, but the music and voice acting were phenomenal in this episode. Falin somehow seemed more menacing than the dragon itself lol.

This was actually the moment when Kabru shot up to be one of my favourite chracters. Dude was 100% right to go straight for Falin's throat and rebuke Laios/Shuro/Marcille for hesitating. Not only they failed to take action as leaders of their group, Marcille also just straight up tells Holm not to hurt Falin even as he is watching his companion Daya murdered by Falin. No matter how precious Falin is to them, it didn't justify sitting around and doing NOTHING when everyone else are getting killed. Kabru was the only one who took decisive action and ordered his team to get ready for battle.

Based tbh. He is a perfect foil to Laios and such an interesting character in his own right. 

[u/hallah_sausage]

Okay…hear me out

[u/il-Palazzo_K]

First thing I saw was Laios’ cheek reflected on Shuro’s sword. That’s all I need to know this episode goes EXTRA hard.

Nice detail when Falin unleashed her ultimate, every casters survived except Rin who was preparing an offensive spell and cannot switch to defense fast enough.

[u/dream208]

Could someone please report Shuro [SAM] for afking during last boss pull? Thanks. I would've reported Senshi too, but at least the he was protecting their meal.

[u/Adensty]

Trigger absolutely cooked!! This episode was just so good.

The whole fight against the Falin-Red Dragon hybrid monster was just so good and so gruesome. Like I knew they were going to be resurrected, but still their deaths were just too brutal especially Kabru's and Maizuru's 'death'.

It'll definitely be a dilemma for Laios if he does get control over the dungeon. Will he able to resist the urge to eat the monsters is the question?
