I'd say a high INT, for the sheer range of monster knowledge, dump stat WIS, for the social awareness of a soup can, and at least moderate CHA because nobody has strangled him yet.

Wis governs senses and will saves, so I figure moderate wis, and low CHA because everyone thinks he's a weirdo who they should maintain safe distance from, with half the party quitting once his sister was gone. Presumably, she was the one keeping people from strangling him.

Not a lot of nutritional value in leather, but if you can chew it fine enough it'll fill your stomach at least.

Between INT, WIS and CHA, Laios has one stat exceedingly high and one as a complete dump stat. I just can't tell which ones specifically.

The OP sort've covers this:

Laios Touden (Voiced by: Kentaro Kumagai)


A tall-man and the de facto leader of the party. While he's strong, brave, and rather capable, his complete lack of charisma means he tends to get along better with the monsters than any of his other party members. Loves monsters.

I'm guessing that people skills is somewhat a mix of CHA and WIS

To be fair, the radar has no Dexterity stat and Chilchuck would probably have an easy 5 in that, while all other party members would be like 1-3.

Yeah the whole "using food as a vehicle for worldbuilding" thing is absolutely a recurring narrative device in Dungeon Meshi. It was always really interesting in the manga, so I'm excited to see how well it translates to animation.

Laios casually mentioned going through is first death last episode, and earlier than that they mentioned body collection crews or whatever. Death just doesn't seem like that big of a deal in this world.

Laios: “There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Now, mostly dead is slightly alive. All dead, well, with all dead, there's usually only one thing that you can do.”
Marcille: “What’s that?”
Laios: *drools ominously*

It's an RPG setting where death just means your friends have to pay some priest back at town to revive you. Unless you get fully digested and there's nothing to cast the spell on, which is where the whole thing with rescuing Laios's sister comes from. They don't expect her to somehow magically be alive in the dragon's stomach, they just want to retrieve her corpse before it's too late to resurrect her.

In the manga atleast it's also mentioned you see a bunch of outlaws/thieves/bandits at the lower levels I'm pretty sure so you can assume a good amount of those people at the least were just hiding from the law. But also revival is a thing

Kwyndig
Sep 23, 2006

Revival is a thing any halfway decent mage can cast, Marcille offered to raise the corpse they found on level 2 for example, but Laios didn't want to take the time in case it didn't work.

Revival is a thing that can specifically happen within dungeons, because for some reason the souls of people who die in the dungeon just sorta stay there for a while and can be re-binded to their body provided it's mostly intact (this is why they're rushing to get to Farlin before the dragon's metabolism runs its course). Greenhouse effect but re: the immortality of the soul, basically. Or Spelunky rules, basically.

I'm sure only manga readers would possibly give a poo poo, and I don't know if it's an early instalment thing or just a dub thing or what, but the Orc chief keeps distinguishing elves from humans and just generally using the word human wrong in this episode and it's driving me crazy. You're all human in this setting!

"Res spell this! Criminal that!" They got what they had coming for being rude to Marcille. She was so proud of the veg!

Unrelated to that but I notice again they're turning down Marcille's offers to solve thing with magic and while I get Senshi's logic you can see the poor baby really wanting to contribute outside of fights.

I find it a little bullshit that Senshi dismisses lighting a fire with magic as "the easy way" as opposed to a flint and steel. Fucker, you have no frame of reference for how hard or easy it is to do that with magic. It's not like Marcille busts out a Zippo lighter, it's a goddamn magic spell, people have to study to be able to acquire that skill, a skill you do not have and that seems pretty drat specialized. If it's so easy, how come everyone doesn't do it that way?

he thought quoting borges would make him popular
Bet the real issue is just Senshi's firm belief that "proper flint and steel just imparts more flavor", it's a propane vs. charcoal thing
