I really hope we get more extras with Falin, she's such a goober like her older brother, and this chapter showed that.

Same, now that they've won, I feel like I've barely seen any of her at all.

doublepost and I don’t see them post here much anymore but monstrous thanks to #EverydayHeroes, Apoptosis and HouseofGlass for such high-level scanlation work. The end-of-chapter glossaries for dungeon meshi (and for golden kamuy) are some of the best in the game. thanks for your efforts in making this series accessible and popular among english-speakers.

You're welcome (to everyone else too)! I'm still around, I just like lurking more than posting. Doing big glossaries almost became a game to see if we could outdo each other each time and maybe make a psd file big enough to crash our computers. It's nice to be able to take it easy now though!

I'm glad that even if it was a weird dream/inner mind place Falin got to eat some Faligon meat too. It would be a shame if she was the only one who didn't get to join in the feast!

Here's hoping we get a little supplementary book of just random epilogue stories, I still wanna see everyone meeting Chilchuck's family!

My favourite Falin scene is still this one way back at the first resurrection

they'd never meet chilchuck's family, because senshi probably got a pretty high position in the kingdom. that is, he became a wealthy dwarf.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

My favorite manga of all time bar none. I want more more more, i cant wait to watch the anime. Now that the main series is over i just want to recommend it to as many people as possible.

Its a perfect 10. Amazing story, characters, art, design work, everything.

ryoko kui is such a talent, man!!

Going to definitely give this series a re-read. I think the story did stumble a bit after Thistle is handled and the whole demon event started. But that perception aside, Dungeon Meshi has been a consistently quality series and I'm glad it stuck the landing. I wish Kui the best in the future, whatever she decides to do and I'm happy that the Dungeon Meshi crew all got happy endings.

Completely in agreement with this. And with being grateful for the great translation :)

This was an amazing ending. My only complaint is that I would have liked if Marcille's obvious feelings for Falin had actually made it from subtext to text; but everything else, from the visuals to the writing, is pretty much flawless.

What a hell of a series. I'm glad it's done, because that means it actually stuck the landing. A manga with a beginning, a middle and an end, and no gross fanservice nonsense. A manga I can actually recommend to people. Fantastic.

It's a straight up happy ending IMHO. The "curse" (lol) is basically the only wrinkle, with everything else resolving in the best way it possibly could.

Are you joking? Did you even read the chapter??

Tingle tingle kooloo limpah.
These are my magic words.

Don't steal them.
Dungeon Meshi's certainly going to join the ranks of "near-perfect media" alongside FMA at the very least. I have zero complaints about a single thing about Dungeon Meshi, it was just so incredibly good start to finish.

So I have one final question.

What was the Winged Lion thinking about at the end? Was he toying with the idea of denying Falin's resurrection but then he decided not to?

That being asked, such an incredible series. It's either this one or Golden Kamuy for being my favorite.

That was basically my take, the manifestation of the winged lion’s curse was weighing his options as to what the most hosed up thing to do to laios was, and “never let him near a monster again” won out over “ruin falin’s resurrection” by inches

Okay cool. I did go back and re-read it and have potentially another idea.

The Winged Lion is asking Falin if she is hungry and she wants to eat more. WL's entire sentient existence was driven by a hunger for desires and when Laios consumed the desire it caused WL to say "Well that loving sucked. I'm glad I'll never be hungry again because it was a pain."

He was wondering out loud if he should let her revive and be hungry again, consigning her to a "cruel fate". He decided not to because he is beyond mortal cares again, so he just waved her off to be resurrected.

This kind of goes in line with the ending message, to eat is to be alive, Falin ate so she is alive but the Winged Lion does not eat so he is not alive (and beyond such concerns).


That take could be me going way too in depth for it though.

It seemed like a pretty straightforward 'to live is to suffer, maybe staying dead and free of desire is better' type take to me.

I wish Falin got to keep her little dragon buddy outside of that dream. I know it's just a part of her soul but it would be cute if she had a little monster pet.
