I was watching simpsons at 0.75 without knowing until a scene where homer and bart were getting back massages at a hotel and the noises they were making were super drawn out like a youtube poop

Laios's English voice actor is autistic, so as you might expect the scene with Laios and Shuro hit close to home for him.

Laios is probably the most I feel seen by a fictional character. Just make him gay and we'd be twinsies.

Help I keep identifying with the more closed off characters in this show and I don't know what to think of that.

My cousin put it pretty well. Japanese Laios is a little too generic. Damien Haas is great at making him sound as unhinged as he really does to the rest of the cast.

What actually got me to switch over to the English dub was the dinner before they fought the red dragon, when Laios was thanking everyone for getting them all there. He just sounded so heartfelt.

Shuro: Of course. Take all the time you need.
Falin, picturing the leaf on her pressed leaf collection: ok

Shuro: We look like such a cute couple here!
Falin: A couple of besties! Haha

Chilchuck called Shuro's ninjas "ninjas", and didn't sound surprised.

Meaning: a) this setting has the concept of "ninjas", b) they're real - like cartoon ninjas with the black masks and everything, c) ninjas are common enough to be unremarkable.

It went by really fast so I went back and took some screenshots of Kabru's flashbacks when Laios offered him the monster omelette:







Given what we have heard about the Elves From The West so far (A shady organization that disappears people, as far as know), if Kabru was adopted by them for some time then it makes sense why he is like that (Not explicitly evil, but infuriatingly pragmatic. Also, he is suspiciously good at killing humans/humanoids.)

Speaking of infuriating, this show is almost too good at shifting between horrifying, serious, and funny.

Really wondering where the chicken part came from. Something the gang missed when reviving Falin? Something the Mad Mage threw in for fun? Are chickens and dragons closely related like how chickens are closely related to dinosaurs IRL?

It's so she's not naked :v:

Worldbuilding answer: she was created artificially by ancient forbidden magic twice over, first being revived with dragon meat and then being turned back into a dragon. It's not surprise that things got a little messed up. Feathers and scales have a very similar structure even if dragons aren't directly related to birds in this world (probably divergent evolution, if ever there was a fantasy setting with evolution this would be it).

Dragons, like dinosaurs, have got to be endothermic. Also, like, birds have feathers and lizards do not so I don't think you understand how that works at all.

Obviously she's a fluffy chicken because Falin is a fluffy girl! The chimera form inherits some properties from the human part as well, and I imagine some of that must be personality as well, not just physical.

There was not enough dragon material between Falin and the Red Dragon corpse to form a fully functional dragon, so he threw some harpy bits in the process to compensate. It's probably why a flock of harpies is hanging around her. They are like "wow, what a big and strong harpy! Slay sis!".

A very good thread read on Shuro's issues. Doesn't appear to go beyond this episode so no spoilers, but there are some panels from the supplementary material.

It's a much better read on Shuro than some other ones on twitter that render things down to Shuro being mad that Laios is allowed to be noisy and direct because he's white.

Maybe dragons have feathers as hatchlings and lose them as they grow into adulthood, and this is some sort of neoteny?

Imagine what would happen if Kabru wore a costume and did a monster mating dance for Laios. I feel like he'd get the desired response.

He'd be correcting everything Kabru got wrong, the stance too upright, moves are too stiff, the sounds arent even from the right animal, the costume's details are all off

Yeah, but then you can have the whole “here, let me show you” moment when Laois takes Kabru’s hands to show him the proper chicken monster moves. Classic!
