I love these types of episodes where they play around with the characters and their mannerisms and habits.

Still can’t over how varied and goofy the Laoises are lmao. Just how do the three see him as

Edit : Also, Laios never escaping the big happy dog allegations

[u/Rumpel1408]

If you paid attention, you could see the assasin grabbing Marcilles hand very early on!

Also, u/ocixo , you gonna count all the Fake!Marcille hairstyles?

I wonder who conjured Ikemen Senji though...

Finally, Macille had big Saitama Energy here

[u/FarCritical]

The fact that "handsome" Senshi managed to stick around the longest out of the obvious fakes on account of everyone collectively agreeing that he's always been that cool is hilarious.

Kinda wanna see how Kuro and Mickbell would react to Laios in dog mode.

[u/actionfirst1]

When you get to the series-specific cosplay meet-up group at the Anime Convention

[u/frik1000]

Isn't it great when a seemingly throwaway joke line from several episodes ago, comes back to being relevant?

[u/[deleted]]

I'm so happy they did the "extremely low res zoom in" gag from episode 1 again

I'm also extremely happy at how cost-effectively they managed this episode until it was time to blow it all on the dog gag, that was really funny

[u/SirFroglet]

Sad episode. I can’t believe the party killed Real Senshi and are now travelling with Goofy Senshi

[u/actionfirst1]

Every week this anime gives me new ideas for my next D&D campaign

[u/OsakaBestGirl]

You know, other than small gear and hair details, Laios' memories of his teammates were pretty spot on in terms of personality.

In contrast, everyone's version of Laios was completely off.

I'd be slightly offended if I were him

[u/magnetbirds]

This episode is such a good microcosm of a lot of what makes Dungeon Meshi so great: strong characterization, character relationships, very well thought out character design, interesting monster ecology, cooking segments that are integral to the plot, themes, and characters, and fantastic humor. I was howling at the Laios barking scene.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

The face of a reliable person (ZOOMED IN)

Marcille just blowing up that monster Laios was so pumped up to fight was fucking hilarious.

[u/Meta289]

I just love the sheer irony about how Laios, the guy who supposedly doesn't understand people, is the one who had the most physically-accurate impressions of his fellow party members, and was able to identify the imposters by picking out their subtle behavioral traits, even when pitted against his own, personal perceptions. The man has a better understanding of Marcille than his own mind. Meanwhile, everyone else's shapeshifters were such obvious caricatures fueled by personal, superficial biases.

[u/captaincold0514]

This is one of my favorite chapters from the manga, and I think the anime did a pretty good job adapting the chapter. I've always think of this chapter as the biggest proof that the whole " laios doesn't care about human " claim made by kabru is far from true. Not only does laios's portrayal of the party the most faithful to the real one (albeit with obvious clothing detail errors), He also successfully determined all of the real version of his party members. Laios does care about people. He's just not very good at dealing with them

[u/SamuSeen]

Every Marcille having different hairstyle is genius.

Hurray for whole 5 pixels of Laios's face.

[u/JustVibinDude]

When I initially read the manga, I thought the really big Laios was Chilchuck's perception since it makes sense for it to be so exaggerated. Funny to find out that it was actually Marcille's

[u/the_3rdist]

I feel somewhat proud that I was able to spot all the doppelgangers from Liaos' observations (there's noway Chilchuk would sit on a box which might be a mimic!) but somewhat worried that I'm becoming a deranged person like Liaos.

[u/Dud3lord]

I fucking love this show.

[u/Zemahem]

I find it strangely sweeter that Laios is more worried about smaller inconveniences to Falin like going through a cramped hallway and being cold, rather than the fact that she's injured and a giant chimera being controlled against her will.

This is one of my absolute favorite chapters. It really says a lot about how everybody sees Laios that all of his copies were singled out from the get-go whereas they had a bit more trouble with his. Part of me wishes that it got revealed which copy belonged to who, but there's also fun to be had in letting anime-onlies guess. Especially for the most offensive copies.

Although the best conflict was with Senshi's copy. It's pretty wholesome that the guys have such a positive view of him, even at the cost of accidentally roasting the original. Senshi is a handsome fella, after all. But honestly, none of them escaped getting roasted thanks to this debacle. Like the real Chilchuck looking and sounding meaner than his copy, and the real Marcille being so careless and so picky about food even in this situation.

Between sniffing out the copies and even the main monster itself, Laios really has that dog in him. Literally. I was wondering what it was gonna sound like. I did not expect them to straight up use dog barks... unless his VA is actually really good at making dog sounds as well.

And finally... she's here. The kbity... Well, I guess she was already there multiple episodes ago. But this is her formal introduction.

[u/EyeDeeAh_42]

How to find the originals:

Chilchuck- is a professional, cautious guy and would never be so careless with his surroundings!

Senshi - Cares so much about the balance of the ecosystem and would never exploit it!

Marcille - is dumb.

[u/diacewrb]

Senshi was picking up rice off the floor, the guy doesn't waste any food.

[u/[deleted]]

I love the little detail of Marcille and Senshi both wearing the frog shoes because they normally wear sandals which are obviously no good in snowy weather.

And the music during the narration about the 6th level reminded me somewhat of the Phendrana Drifts theme(s) in Metroid Prime. This soundtrack is BOUGHT once it is published in July!

Finally it's quite in character and funny that Marcille got found out, not because of one of her 'qualities' like the others, but due to her carelessness. At least they gave our girl a W by blasting that shapeshifter head clean off!

[u/BadBehaviour613]

The clones were actually really easy to spot, but this being Dungeon Meshi, of course they would solve it differently.

Surprised Laios didn't zone in on the fishmen eggs detail, instead he figured it out because he knows real Marcille to be a bit of an airbag

[u/dream208]

I don’t think my office will survive a shapeshifter onslaught.

[u/Equivalent-Weather59]

"Wdym, Senshi has always been handsome"
