Bread Set Jettison posted:I do not truly get Kabru’s deal. What’s this man’s end game? preventing the dungeon from getting abandoned by adventurers due to the economics of extended dungeon exploration, which would result in powerful monsters spilling forth onto the surface to wreck nearby towns and villages his primary means of accomplishing this are: 1. "i'm gonna kill the mad mage and rule because i know i would do a good job at it" 2. loving murdering people who are substantially contributing to accelerating the rate at which the dungeon will be abandoned

I don't think the monsters particularly want to leave, it's a pretty self sustaining ecosystem.

You have to remember that the Dungeon is a machine, a massive artificial construct designed to harness the principles of naturally occurring dungeon ecosystems in order to accumulate truly enormous amounts of mana to fuel big-time spells, like the poo poo that brought Falin back to life. It's like a geomantic nuclear reactor, with monsters as fuel rods and adventurers as control rods to help mediate the reaction. Now, imagine what happens if the control rods stop going down

Bread Set Jettison posted:I do not truly get Kabru’s deal. What’s this man’s end game? I feel like his attitude is much like someone who is very into the Sims genre of video games: he likes to take disparate personalities, lock them in a room together, and see what happens. Based on his treatment of the scammy resurrectors, he's also the type that if a Sim is spoiling his intended design, has no issues about luring them into going swimming and deleting the ladder. Or in more modern terminology, Laios is a blorbo that he's been rotating in his head for a while, ever since hearing about him. ...and, yeah, the fact that he's treating 'real' people that way, rather than 'fictional' characters is a concerning sign.

chiasaur11 posted:Kabru gets people pretty well. He knows Laios will never ask his name. That's what makes it even funnier: Kabru knows Laios is never going to ask, but he still wants him to ask. He wants it SO bad. Rand Brittain posted:I am assured that his ultimate and only goal is to kiss Laios on the mouth. Everything Kabru does suddenly makes perfect sense when viewed through the lens of "This is a dude who has a crush on a guy and the guy he has a crush on does NOT get it and it's driving this poor dude insane". https://x.com/chvvy_/status/1781093194685407602

If Kabru sucks at fighting monsters and is really good at fighting humanoids would he be good at killing Orcs or would he get his rear end kicked? Where do Orcs sit on the fantasy race chart, are they demi-humans like Goblins?

Where do Orcs sit on the fantasy race chart, are they demi-humans like Goblins? Well his combat effectiveness seems to depend on reading tells and knowing his opponents' anatomy, so Orcs are probably close enough in expression and physiology to humans that he could fight them pretty well. It's not like Pokemon types where he has a rock-paper-scissors advantage

Yeah the dungeon is its own ecosystem and adventurers are key to balance. They exterminate excess monsters, but it is possible by balancing predatory monsters and prey monsters to create a dungeon without the need for adventurers, a self sustained dungeon if you will. This dungeon is not that, the mad mage is more concerned with his own inscrutable actions than dungeon efficiency.

Eh, Marcille has repeatedly described the dungeon as perfectly balanced in a way she only wishes she could emulate. It is not at all a sloppy dungeon.

Where do Orcs sit on the fantasy race chart, are they demi-humans like Goblins? I think Kabru is only good at fighting humanoids if those humanoids are also tall men specifically. Orcs, gnomes, and half-foots can easily kick his rear end. Sidenote: is there some legal reason why half-foots aren't called hobbits even though that's obviously what they are? It's the same way in Dungeons and Dragons where the race clearly meant to be hobbits are called "halflings". Elves are elves, dwarves are dwarves, but hobbits are never just hobbits.

Hobbits are under copyright. The very earliest Dungeons and Dragons had Hobbits and a few other Tolkien terms (ents, balrogs), they got told at some point not to do that, and so changed those things. (Ents became treants, balrogs became balors.) “Halfling” existed as a term before Tolkien so it’s in the clear.

You can see Kabru's issue with fighting monsters in episode 14 (Sea Serpent). He takes out a whole group of humans by quickly rushing them down, slipping past their guard and stabbing them in exposed vital areas like the neck. When he runs into the sea serpent his internal monologue has him try to apply the same strategy, followed by him panicking when he realizes he has absolutely no idea where the carotid artery is on an enormous monster snake. We can also see that in some ways Kabru's party doesn't seem to measure up compared to Laios' group. Rin, their magic-user, speaks bitterly and dismissively of magic school graduates when examining Marcille's spell suggesting she might not have much formal magic education. Mickbell, their thief, is the kind of idiot who thinks the labor union is unfair and that paying union dues is a bad deal.

Hes just a pretty psychopath :3 I havent seen any of the real brainrot from later Kabru yet here. Thread’s been pretty well behaved. Just remember how calm and well behaved everyone is right now. :3 Synthbuttrange fucked around with this message at 05:02 on Apr 20, 2024 |

I don’t really know a lot about Kabru but he definitely seems like the anti-Laios; a guy who’s really, really into people and interpersonal relationships, to the point of just making extensive headcanons for them. So it’s really fitting that the thread is basically extrapolating a lot on him specifically.

The anime viewer reaction to Kabru is almost identical to what the manga reader reaction to Kabru was at this point in the story. The mark of a fantastically defined character, and I'm loving it.
