hello i am a bozo and was reminded that gold-stripping is, in fact, canonically brought up a couple times in the series and was definitely not an illusion. … but it *was* fun to speculate that it was right guys LOL

@thomasshone2488 5 ай бұрын

Yes, these dwarves found all the gold according to the main character.... but non of them ever made it out of the dungeon. A dungeon that creates objects through magic based on desire doesnt make the objects any less 'real'.

@franciscoguinledebarros4429 4 ай бұрын

It may very well be true tho, the dungeon makes things out of thin air yes, but they are not illusions, the dungeon did bring generations of material wealth

During the golden country episode, Yadd said that he recalled Delgal constantly blaming himself for how Thistle have gone mad from dark magic and Laios also speculate that the reason to why Thistle is so defensive with intruders was also because of the trauma when the previous king died in the shapeshifting one. I think that the parallel is definitely there

@gristen 5 ай бұрын

youre on the right track here but i have one small correction: the pillars actually were made of gold at one time. if you remember laios says that he and his sister first joined a gold peeling crew when they first came to the island. the dungeon used to be full of gold, even on the upper floors, but over time less of it could be found as adventures filled their pockets with it. so now they must venture deeper and deeper into the dungeon in order to find it still, tempting adventures further in.

Not going to confirm or deny anything, but as a manga reader who loves watching reaction videos, it’s so refreshing to see someone who actually looks deeper into what’s going on and can pick up on subtle hints in the storytelling, instead of just half paying attention. This is one of those stories that definitely rewards people who pay attention to the little things

using a food allegory for an intro is a stroke of genius, great writing! I particularly appreciate your observation of the early floor plant monster luring prey with sweetness and how it can be seen as a parallel to the dungeon - that's a genius observation! Your dungeon meshi videos are always excellently written and highly enjoyable, can't wait for the next.

Fun (spoiler-free) Thistle Facts: 1. Since we saw Delgal and Thistle playing as children, you can do the math to determine that Thistle was still the elven equivalent of a teenager by the time the immortality curse came into play. Him being frozen halfway through puberty gives a lot of context to his mental state. 2. You may have already inferred this since Thistle is the only elf we see in the Golden Kingdom and supposedly "grew up alongside Prince Delgal as a brother," but he was basically adopted by the king. (Makes his reaction to the king's death in the paintings more tragic. Poor kid saw his dad die in front of him.)

As an anime-only who carelessly ignored warnings, I've had two major plot points from later in the story spoiled already. However, i think Marcille's repeated expressed desire to have stronger magic, and even blatantly getting a hold of Thistle's book in the dream in episode 19 does draw a strong parallel between them. It's funny that so far, there really hasn't been any throwaway background details. They've seemed to pay off later down the line. This is such a carefully crafted story and I know season two won't disappoint. Keep up the awesome content. I've been curious about our resident baby-faced sourpuss Chilchuck. For as much as we've learned from the other party members, he's had the least details of his past revealed--aside from the bombshell that he's actually middle-aged and has a family, but not much more than that. In the absence of the manga filling in small details here and there, all we can say about him is what we can infer from the limited information we do have.

@grapeicies 5 ай бұрын

The best part of this series is that knowing what happens only intensifies your curiosity for what’s to come, if you’re that sort of person. It’s truly a series where the journey is worth more than the destination. Sorry you got spoiled though!

5:55, In the context of the show's gimmick of having it's main group make a meal of creatures they kill, he idea the dungeon itself is "eating" the adventurers that delve into it in search of their various goals is an interesting one, even if the answer to the question's it poses is just "the friends we made along the way" and having the courage and humility to appreciate reality being the answer to greed and unrestrained ego. The Marcelle-Thistle connection and the idea of a dungeon that acts like a pocket dimension free of strife already evokes things like Human Instrumentality from Evangelion plotted by Gendo (who is an older, sinister version of his son, main character Shinji) or the Infinite Tsukuyomi from Naruto plotted by Madara and Obito (each character reflecting main characters Naruto and Sasuke in their world-altering ambitions, but removed of any of the love, compassion and honor valued by Naruto or the humility Sasuke comes to develop when putting aside his hateful ways), so it's not like a story like this wouldn't work or be effective.

Your videos are always incredibly well thought out and honestly I completely agree with explaining the parties luck with the way the dungeon response to desires because it makes a lot of sense. Our main heroes are skilled but they are also insanely lucky, and I just love how the author is able to get away with it with clever explanations.

Maybe this parallel of Marcille and Thistle the mad mage is intentional, so we can see their similarity and differences, Thistle may have good intention at first but was twisted in time, maybe it shows if it wasn't for the friends and people around Marcille, she could've become another mad mage and she have to choose (I haven't read the entire manga yet)

Despite already knowing what’s going to happen - or maybe *because* I do? - I‘ve really enjoyed your theory videos. While I wont comment on whether you’re right about any of it, I will say I’ve yet to hear you say anything like, egregiously off the wall, because all of your theories come from actually paying attention!! I’ve seen some people be frustratingly obtuse about clear themes or get too bogged down in genre conventions, but you are out here actually enjoying Ryoko Kui’s absolute feast and talking about all the flavors and textures. These characters are so so so rich and the more you dig into them the better they get. And hopefully it's not too spoilery to say that keeping character parallels in mind will be extremely rewarding as the narrative progresses.

Something that confuses me is how Senshi predicted that the dungeon would become more dangerous towards Laios' party. He said that the dungeon would respond to their desires by bearing its fangs. But, it seems like the dungeon is actually helping adventurers by giving them safe rooms and water rooms. How is that dangerous? Why would a dangerous dungeon be materializing safe and clean water for them?

@adn1145 5 ай бұрын

I guess it’s not much of a sport for the dungeon if adventurers die from dysentery or smthg. I imagine it as a cat that enjoys playing with its food, it’s more exciting to chase a healthy rat that’ll put everything it has into surviving as opposed to a sickly one

its stopping them from retreating. when they got turned by the changelings the dungeon layout shifted and stopped them from getting changed back right away, then they found the door they were looking for to begin with and had no choice but to go through it. when they were trying to go back to the surface after their confrontation with the mad mage they got lost, but as soon as they decided to continue on after seeing what happened to falin, they found the way down immediately. the dungeon only helps them when it brings them down deeper

I always concluded that, because of the Dragon's soul Falin had an instant surplus of magic, but that's not how it works, the dragon is almost entirely biological, it doesn't spit fire through some magical spell, it has glands and a fuel storage,so the dungeon giving enough magical energy for Falin to protect her friends could very well be true, hell, maybe the spell Marcille made, which was supposed to make Falin's body *temporarily* part of the Dungeon wasn't temporary at all!
