FALIN IS BAD... In more ways than one 🐉 Delicious in Dungeon Meshi Ep 16 & 17 REACTION & REVIEW!

[@工用-y4k]

Kabru is the exact mirror image to Laios. He is an expert in everything human - both psychology and anatomy - and can easily manipulate or kill anyone he runs across. But he knows nothing about monsters and keeps wiping his party in the dungeon because of that; he keeps trying to apply his knowledge and skills against humans towards monsters, and they just don't work here. Laios is the exact opposite.

[@EinManU]

yea - i realized that when he was talking to his party after the sea serpent fight - and the fact hes trying to use his knowledge on humans not for personal gain but for the good of the whole while being an extreme realist makes him very interesting imo Yes, he is deceiving people, but not really of ill will - hes always doing whats most beneficial to his party and to someday clear the dungeon. Or atleast thats what i got out of it, i dont know whats gonna happen later in the manga.

[@ajjjzachiel44]

Shuro is absolutly an intentional commentary on Japan. Ryoko Kui explores a lot of things about culture and the differences between them. Laois and Kabru are both insane just on oposite sides of the spectrum.

[@itsblitz4437]

How so?

[@rerelu419]

@@itsblitz4437 Shuro's whole deal is that he's incredibly repressed and has a hard time expressing himself - Maizuru says Shuro's never made a selfish request, and he's always gone along with everything Laios does, even though he doesn't like it. His inability to be honest and express his emotions, in favor of staying quiet and unobtrusive, is probably a commentary on Japanese social etiquette. It's why Shuro comments at the end that he's actually just envious of how genuine and honest Laios is towards everyone.

[@Mateo-oq7ui]

laios is autistic while kabru is a psychopath yeah

[@palecat5005]

Shuro is a "patient man" who rarely has problems with those around him. On the other hand, it should not be ignored that Laois was an outcast in society. Even in cultures other than Japan, Laois is an anomaly.

[@carpiim]

laios' and shuro's fight was so important to me as a neurodivergent person... the fact that laios cant understand social cues or "read the room" and having that genuinely hinder his relationships and not just have it be a gag is so real

[@itsquestionhere]

yes!!!! laois being autistic is so important to me, because even comedic moments about his special interest or smth aren’t like . malicious it’s just “wow he’s really into monsters” and not only that, his knowledge of monsters is the driving force in there entire quest to get falin back, he knew all about dragons sleep/digestion which gave them hope and set them off eating monsters which led to them meeting senshi etc etc, his enthusiasm is the reason they’re all this determined and have gotten this far, without it being a constant “lol look what an insane freak he is . i guess hes helpful sometimes everybody point and laugh”

[@whiskeredwolf4861]

I really appreciate that Laios is actually angry, too. A lot of the time the neurodivergent character will just be sad, since the writers want them to be sympathetic. Sometimes they’re even made to apologize. But here, Laios straight up decks Shuro in the face. He’s upset and hurt and probably doubting a lot of things now. It feels so much more real. Laios is portrayed like he’s being very reasonable, too. (Major spoilers below) This moment (and a lot of others) is seriously amazing in hindsight. It’s moments like this that makes his talk with the Winged Lion so understandable. You *understand* how frustrated and angry he is because a lot of the world doesn’t make sense to him. The autism/whatever Laios has is such a strong running theme in Dungeon Meshi, it’s part of his character, but it’s also a driving force in the plot and the climax. Amazing.

[@Palx-zs1ue]

fittingly, Laios's english VA is also autistic and tweeted about how recording that scene really hit home hard for him

[@boss5718]

Not only that, but also the fact that Shuro apparently tried to let him know “in ways most people would pick up on” too. I had (and often still have) so many situations like that. To be honest, that line was literally the first time it really hit me that Laios was neurodivergent cuz I saw nothing weird in his actions or reasoning.

[@EinManU]

I'm neurodivergent as well, and ive been in fights similar to that, as most others like me have probably been too Just for this, for realizing how much i relate to him, he went from one of my least favorite characters in the anime to my second favorite. Just... suddenly the way hes been acting makes sense. all of it.

[@simmie912]

Shuro didn't confess to Falin, he just outright proposed to her lmao. That's what the halfings were commenting on.

[@Huhu0137]

Love, love, LOVE that Kabru is absolutely revolted by the monster food's taste. If you focused on his flashbacks, it showed how his family got killed and eaten by monsters when he was a kid. The idea of digesting one into his body is so disgusting to him he has to use water to force the food down. It's so WONDERFUL! Because it shows the multi-dimensional views of this world, monsters can be delicious to some, but some people will be grossed out even if they try not to. You can not expect to use that one variant of ingredients to make everyone happy

[@dariogaelreyes7534]

In extra material (so not really a spoiler) Maizuru, the crane lady, is revealed to have been the mistress of Shuro's father, which adds a whole nother layer to their relationship. Also I love thst Senshi literally had the plate with him the whole time in the Falin fight

[@Ken_Mochi]

[@bittervagrant]

Maizuru told Senshi to hold that tray. By god he’s gonna hold it!

[@valvadis2360]

​​@@Ken_Mochi no, Shuro's mom is still alive and hates her. Shuro has 2 other brothers that his mother likes best so Maizuro took upon herself to raise him so he is not just ignored in the household, that made Shuro's mom hate her even more. Shuro's father married out of duty, but stays with Maizuro out of love. Old timey style.

[@spcraftsman2656]

Oh God, I suddenly feel so embarrassed. I think I know why I don't know people's names... cause I never friggin ask it! God, I was sure I'm not on the spectrum, but seeing my similarities with Laios, I'm honestly not sure. ADHD, though, sure, I have it.

[@mofubunsart]

LMAO I caught on to that and I couldn’t help but cringe just a lil 😭🤣

[@fatcat1250]

Pretty sure that pause was at the end of a chapter and supposed to be a cliffhanger as to what Kabru would do to after finally meeting Laois. Which explains the awkward cut a different scene right after.

[@emmittcarpenter1452]

I mean, marcille and laios too

[@Ranzztt]

About the whole "no fan service but showing monster's boobs" thing I think it's more of a non sexual nudity than fan service tbh. Specially since because it's all in the manga too and I think it's incredible world building actually! Anime tend to humanize monsters too much but in Dunmeshi even the human-like monsters are disturbing. Their appearance it's usually to mimic and lure their prey and it makes them even more terrifying. It's not made to be sexy, but unsettling. Although if you're a monsterfuck maybe it could be sexy idk (There's a scene in the future with a certain character that makes this more obvious.)

[@Ranzztt]

Forgot to mention, but Failin tearing up her shirt has the same purpose for me too. I think it's the scene closer to fan service than all of them but it's doesn't strike it like one to me. It's not only to show that she's hot or anything like that, but to show that she isn't thinking like a human, she doesn't care about showing her bare chest because a monster doesn't care about it either. And you can see more of her feathers covering up her human part. The transformation didn't affect only her lower body, but everything in her.

[@matilozano96]

I find it so funny that Shuro's infatuated with Falin, even though she's as much of a weirdo as Laios is. Pretty privilege, I guess.

[@ahomeroinu]

it's simply because shuro is straight laios is also pretty af

[@GoosterHiista]

We can see from this episode how the women he is used to act in his presence, or at least how they are expected to act. Falin is basically the first girl he has met that acted nice to him without being expected to. Like so many people that fall for the first girl that acts nice towards them, Shuro fell for her. His feelings about Laios only prove further that he isn't actually in love with Falin as a person, but rather than an idea of Falin because she is so much like his brother. Falin just happens to be nice to everyone while also being as oblivious as her brother and naive Shuro interpreted her unconditional acceptance as true love.

[@greenwater90]

@@GoosterHiista well actually theres a fun little bit of extra material (i cant find it right now) that reveals that Shuro always loved catching bugs and has a bit of soft spot for them. So while I think you are somewhat correct he also loves that shes nice to bugs.

[@syzler8664]

except she's not as bad as Laios, since even Laios relies on Falin for social interaction as revealed in the 5th episode with the ghost ice cream.

[@gristen]

​@@syzler8664only marginally tho. she still shows some signs of autism as well, but her symptoms present a bit lower on the spectrum than his do

[@itsquestionhere]

one thing abt the show that’s refreshing to me is that when they show boobs or smth it actually doesn’t read to me as fanservicey, it’s more along the lines of “yea women have bodies actually and showing them isn’t necessarily sexualizing them” even falin this ep seems maybe a bit more leaning into a ‘fanservice’ type thing but it’s like . she’s covered in feathers she doesn’t need a shirt, and also boobs just bounce as they move it’s not some objectifying thing for her to have a chest that’s shown

[@gristen]

the anime has definitely been exaggerating a bit the few scenes of fan service the manga does have, but they've still kept it relatively low key considering its trigger we're talking about

[@brimmedhathoe4392]

TRUEEE

[@itsquestionhere]

@@adonii8364exactly!!! and like yea she held her boob and ran her hand up her body . she was removing a DAGGER lodged in it and in severe pain in a new feathery monster body and removing a now torn bloody shirt what are we expecting here, a huge chimera wearing a regular person shirt the whole time? not to mention she doesn’t need fanservice to be hot, in fact it’s sexier that her body ISNT being objectified

[@Rawrmuffin0]

For me, it’s also to represent how animalistic she’s become. As opposed to her more modest demeanor and dress as a human, as her chimera form she’s more primal. And I interpreted these ‘fan servicey’ moments as what you all said but added that she’s just a creature st this point. She’s not even trying to be sexy but considering how other feminine monsters have acted in the show so far, it’s an added aspect that she has an upper human half with some semblance and sanity. But the majority of it is just raw primal animal instinct. Idk if they made sense but thought I’d add to everything else

[@itsquestionhere]

@@Rawrmuffin0 yes exactly!!! her being more animalistic was smth i was thinking of but hadn’t put into words yet, thank you for pointing it out, it’s a huge part of why she doesn’t seem sexualized and rather just existing in her body

[@standingbylife]

Y'all piece together the feet in the end credits!✨ Laios being once again an accurate example as an autistic. Especially when Shuro says he's not taking it seriously. I cannot express how often I felt that in life. Reality is Shuro is meek to the point it borderlines cowardice. He's envious of Laios's frank and honest nature. Also Shuro fell in love with Falin because she doesn't behave like most women Shuro knows. (That whole scene with the caterpillar? It's because Shuro was surprised Falin wasn't disgusted by it. Meanwhile she's just fascinated by the fact it was female.) The frustrating thing is he LOATHES those qualities in Laios but loves them in Falin. Difference is Falin can read social cues better because she was already friends with Marcille. Problem is she's TOO considerate of other people, so Shuro might've misread her behavior as romantic.

[@carpiim]

you get it

[@syzler8664]

? he doesnt read it as romantic, he knows Falin needs time to consider her feelings.

[@standingbylife]

@@syzler8664 it's mainly because women in Shuro's homeland are raised to be rather demure (also doesn't help with how the women in his life behave around him because of his higher status). (Also because Shuro loves bugs and it scared off girls whenever he showed them off. Hence why he developed feelings so quickly.) Because Falin is frank and honest, like Laios, Shuro potentially mistook it as her showing romantic interest. But it's just her being friendly, and again being too considerate. Also a problem is Shuro loves the IDEA of Falin. (A funny note to is in an omake, when Laios was checking out a magic mirror to see what everyone would be like as the opposite sex. Female Shuro would've fallen for Laios. Which again plays into Shuro loving the idea of someone.)

[@mustafaqasimi1084]

​@standingbylife idk i read the manga and a lot of this feels like speculation, especially you going on about the idea of falin. I think hes just straight in most timelines, being a girl or male. Like, traits in people you like varies from gender to gender, i think thats just normal. Its wrong how he treated laios, of course, but he was perfectly accepting of anything falin did, if she outright rejected him he would be sad but he would leave it alone

[@TamsCake]

[@Green-3c34y65vrbu]

classic white people lmao

[@standingbylife]

It's more hilarious because Laios talked to him for 5 HOURS about the Eastern Archipelago (where he's from). By then he was too exhausted that he couldn't even say his name. He tried to correct him but decided "Shuro" was close enough. That mistake would be his undoing.

What the hell man?? That's just cowardly and off-putting, like she is just a beautiful fantasy for him to dream about. Get a grip, Shuro!

[@Borderose]

It's become obvious that the Touden Siblings are both autistic. But, whereas the trait is tolerated or even seen as charming, free-spirited, or waifish in Falin partly by virtue of her being a beautiful woman, Laios is just seen as weird, awkward, and creepy for his neurodivergency. With the world making constant demands of him to conform or change to meet societal expectations. Falin understands this somewhat and makes effort to be kind to her brother--as she's practically his only friend before going to the island. They're the only ones who understand each other. Seeing as they have the same weird interests and thought patterns. However, for good or ill, Falin being there has also partly enabled Laios, as having just one person understand you and be your friend was enough for him to never need to change for the world. He has never seen his love and fascination for all things monster as anything but a good thing, as it's one of the things he shares and bonds over with his sister growing up. Instead, his frustration over his constant "otherness" or "othering" is directed outwards instead of inwards. He thinks the world around him should change. Not him. He knows the world wasn't built for him, but why should he change who he is for a world that never bothered to even budge for his sake?

[@palecat5005]

Falin was able to consider whether his actions were disrespectful to others. Laios was not able to do that. Don't ignore the difference.

[@ma.2089]

I don’t think it has much to do with her being a girl. I think it has to do with her being less on the spectrum than he is. She had trouble making friends growing up and seemed like the only friend she made was Marcielle. You’re right tho that Laios needs to and has been learning how to function without her. I actually don’t think that dream he has of her leaving was about death, and more about how he needs to accept she won’t always be there for him anymore.

[@jemleye]

The fanservice situation in anime has (somewhat justly) created a very strong backlash effect, but the kneejerk reaction goes too far at points. Boobs do move if you jump down two floors and harpies as monsters would have no reason to cover themselves. More than focusing on the puritanical aspect of absolutely zero attempts of sexuality, one should really consider stuff holistically and see the intent behind things. I did not see much anything sexual about Falin's boob physics, the shirt ripping, or the harpies, and even if one did, I don't think it is a problem. Sexual fanservice was not the focus of those scenes in any way, except for maybe poking fun at the whole discussion with the Marcille and Shuro reaction shot. It is not a binary value of whether there is only bad fanservice or puritan prudence, what I think this series achieves is a realistic, human relationship with its characters sexuality in a story where that is not the focus of the story. I will absolutely say that Delicious in Dungeon has no fanservice (sans Senshi). I will absolutely say that it has sexual content. Are those the same thing? Abso-fucking-lutely NOT. It is just a refreshingly true to human nature story exploring so many aspects of it without shying away nor overstating any. This all ofc applies to the side theme stuff, it is pretty clear and expected that eating, cooking, and ecology are very much a hard focus as the main themes.

[@lightningbulb227]

Heavy agree, all of the "fanservice" in the most recent episode felt very natural and non-obstructive. There was no uncomfortable pause where the show had to work in a "look boobs!!" moment, it just happened and was passed on as if it were normal, which it is. I also feel the Marcille reaction shot was in character(since she's probably romantically in Falin and it feels in character for her to be outwardly embarassed/flustered in a moment like that) and not just a bit for comedy, or at least I think so.

[@chelronin7843]

@@lightningbulb227no it made sense for marcille for sure. she would definitely act surprised at falin doing that, even if she was a monster. i am really bothered that they specifically target falin for the fan service. anime, unfortunately, has an issue doing this. especially anime with low fan service, they choose 1 girl to be the main “fan service” character. if you watch a lot of anime, you will definitely notice it now. im assuming its 100% a management issue because “sex sells”. really dumb but whatever re zero is another anime i love, it has little to no fan service. but even it has a character that is sometimes used for fan service. idk why tf some anime studios are so insistent on doing this

[@ma.2089]

@@chelronin7843 Ok going to have to hard disagree with you. You’re saying that fan service exists in this for Falin (as if the show hadn’t shown Senshi’s crotch SO many times. I guess it’s just a joke when it’s a man, but if it’s a woman it’s fanservice), cuz her boobs bounced. Ohhh noooo. Forget the fact it actually makes sense for the plot and is pretty unobtrusive. Re zero has fan service. How can you say Dungeon Messhi has it but re:zero does? It’s far worse than this anime in that regard and it can be argued that the anime has LESS fan service than what the artist of the series has done. Basically it isn’t just one target. Ppl are so against sexual stuff in any nature that the existence of boobs jumps straight to fan service.

Ah ha ha 😏

[@SeagullOnAFish]

Marcille and Fallin don't really have a romantic relationship Marcille (in her elf racism) sees her as a child still

[@greenwater90]

i think thats a bit off the mark. ryoko kui definitely enjoys teasing their relationship even if nothin canon comes from it.

[@syzler8664]

@@greenwater90 i think your headcanon is getting too big here

[@SeagullOnAFish]

@@greenwater90 marcille says that herself, i also like the ship

[@greenwater90]

@@syzler8664 Like I said I dont think its canon, but with the bath scene etc I'd say it has about the same level of backing as the idea that marcille and laios are into eachother. and i think its very likely intentional.

[@gristen]

maybe a bit spoilerish but marcille has a reason for clinging to the past the way she does, so i dont think its elf racism that makes her say that

Watch bleach!!!!!!! Best anime oat
