Last weeks thread - 16 Comments
Dungeon Meshi is a well liked manga, and an adaptation by Studio Trigger is now airing. If you haven’t picked this one up, consider joining us. Both for fun and as a way of contributing to activity on Lemmy.
Episodes are available to stream on Netflix.
Last weeks episode ended on quite a cliffhanger, with Laios holding his sisters skull. We now find out how that turns out, with Marcille revealing what she’s really an expert in.
Forbidden magic. The dark arts.
Using an illegal spell, she brings back Falin from nothing but bones, using the flesh of the dragon to fuel the spell.
And so, this arc concludes. With the gang, now joined by Falin, cooking up some goddamn dragon!!
Remember not to spoil anything if you’re a manga reader, but feel free to elaborate on tidbits of lore that may not be coming through in the adaptation.
What’s coming next has already had its groundwork laid down. I’ve been pointing out the winged lions all over the place, for example :D
But there are more blatant hints, why was the dragon active? Why was it roaming the fifth level city, which isn’t its normal habitat? It caused the orcs to get displaced to the third level. Why was there a Kraken loose on the fourth level?
Who is the dark elf?
The focus on the story has been on saving Falin, but all the while, it seems to have coincided with a change in the dungeon itself.
Could it have something to do with the treasures starting to run dry, causing adventurers to delve deeper and deeper? Why does the elven nation suddenly want the land the dungeon is on back? Does Mr. Tansu really expect to decipher an immortality-spell from its secrets?
…
I fucking love this franchise.
