Angry Diplomat posted:IMO the more pressing issue is that Kabru explicitly wants to beat the dungeon and become ridiculously powerful as a result, and either explicitly believes or is cynically leading others to believe that Only He Deserves This Power. i mean idk that seems like something you'd kinda assume for any adventurer braving the depths. obviously not all of them are like that but the job posting is "get to the bottom of the dungeon and become super powerful" so is it really a bad sign that kabru said "yes, that sounds like something i would like to do"? unlike laios and pals he is deeply interested in human social dynamics, extending out of just "do those two people like each other" and into the complex overarching social system that creates, and how it interacts with the dungeon as its goal. "one of these people is going to become insanely powerful, and most of them would be really bad with it. i can make sure the power doesn't fall into the wrong hands by being the person to claim it" is maybe not the most flattering conclusion, but it doesn't seem like a particularly unusual or unexpected one. i wouldn't say kabru would be my pick for king of everything but he doesn't seem worse than "pick an average adventurer at random." also if i'm being honest i'm not sure if his party supporting him in his goal is really all that odd either? assuming kabru was upfront with them about "my goal is to actually reach the bottom and do the thing" you'd think anyone risking their lives helping him with that is going to be pretty on board with it. they're voicing that they've been around long enough to have considered that choice and decided to commit to it, through thick and thin, because they believe in their friend. it's pretty bog standard fantasy adventurer group stuff, i don't recall any instance of kabru policing or even really encouraging keeping that mindset of him, though i'll admit i could totally have forgotten about some kind of "you're all still here because you believe in me" line. in any case i think what we're seeing there is that, you know, kabru isn't the main character. we haven't had time to sit with his companions' logic and reasoning for that choice or see any of the times they may have felt conflicted about it in the past, we're just seeing the end point/status quo at a surface level. kabru's friends believe in him and are happy to say it. so what? not to argue that anyone is wrong for having a different opinion of kabru, to be clear. just articulating and giving my reasoning for why i don't share what seems to be the common perspective on the character right now. i do think the presentation is such that you're meant to be offput by him, at least a little, but from the information given he doesn't seem like a bad guy to me. his detailed descriptions of others' social activity mostly comes off to me as equivalent to laios saying he wants to feel a plant carry him while it lays its seeds under his skin - strange and kind of funny

Look, the thing you need to remember about Kings is that they generally suck pretty bad. Nobody who wants to be a King should ever be a King. Ideally there should be no King at all, but if there must be a King he should be some guy who's kinda  about the job but dutifully does it anyway because he understands how important it is, not a guy who's apparently convinced that he's a shoo-in for Best King. You really really don't want a Dunning-Kruger King on your hands

Make Chilchuck the king of the dungeon or w/e. He'd support workers' rights.

fingers and toes rule actually. Dogs would be twice as cool if they had fingers and toes to wear people shoes and stab stuff with people knives.

I don't want to have to convince my dog he needs to wear shoes. It was bad enough bathing the drat thing when it just had paws. Hands and feet would be a deal breaker. Have you tried to convince a three year old to wear shoes, that's about the level we'd be talking about here. Plus you'd have to trim their nails because otherwise they would break and get all ragged, no, no thanks.

I think Falin should be King, because she will sensibly do very little and her crazy rear end consort-slash-court mage will loving atomize anyone who causes any serious Kingdom-threatening trouble. And also they will kiss sometimes and it will be so cute and all the peasants will celebrate.

Almost every significant character has a decent amount of side comics. The reason why many of them haven't been posted here is that they have spoilers for later stuff.

I think... we shouldn't be posting all of these just because they are technically not spoilers. It's bad form. Basically, regardless of the original intentions, they are now being used as a loophole for manga readers to talk about the manga in the anime thread.

I feel like there are 3 ways to handle talking about bonus content: 1) Don't post anything side content wise (even if it doesn't have any spoilers) that wasn't out at the time the manga chapters covered in the latest episode were released; i.e. it would be fine to post stuff from the Miscellaneous Monster Tales segments of the first 5 volumes, Daydream Hour 2 (which came out with chapter 31; Daydream Hour 1 didn't have any Dungeon Meshi stuff), and some other minor things, but later Daydream Hours, later volume Miscellaneous Monster Tales segments, the Adventurer's Bible, and some other minor misc content (and in fact with the end point people are predicting the show will stop at will be before the release of any of the further Daydream Hours and the Guidebook) 2) Don't post any side book content at all. 3) consider Miscellaneous Monster Tales stuff not adapted to be  (since those are in the back of the manga volumes), leave other stuff that fits what I listed as okay in #1 to be still fine

Some of it is stuff the anime has already skipped over(sea serpent bonus comic) but on the other hand some of it is stuff from the future that has 90% chance of not being animated but that 10% might be reason enough not to post it. Edit: ^ yeah what he said

One of the common complaints I saw about Dungeon Meshi early on from the reddit crowd was that the party was wasting too much time cooking and eating instead of getting back to rescue Falin as fast as possible. We can now see Shuro followed that mindset and it didn't work well at all. The guy is a total wreck and looks like he's in no condition to do anything. Like Laios said this episode, eating isn't something you do when you have time, its a prerequisite to doing what you want to do. All the time the party spent cooking and eating wasn't wasting time, it was making sure they'd be prepared when they got there, and they actually got there days earlier than Shuro did with all his attempted haste.

Reddit seems pretty dumb because the cooking/monster eating is pretty a pretty incidental thing where they’ve already made camp for the day and are just eating the supplies they have on hand. I think they were well ahead of schedule anyway, it’s just that the Red Dragon is a familiar or whatever and not doing its normal wild animal thing of coming out every month to hunt before hibernating.

I think they were well ahead of schedule anyway, it’s just that the Red Dragon is a familiar or whatever and not doing its normal wild animal thing of coming out every month to hunt before hibernating. Yeah, that was explicitly addressed. In the first episode Laios mentions that after such a kill, Red Dragon goes dormant to conserve energy and it will take roughly a month to digest the food. And they got to him in a week. But the Red Dragon was still active, because his natural instincts were overridden by Mad Magician commands, so poor Falin was probably fully digested in a few days. The whole point is that they never would have made it, no matter how fast or slow they would be able to.

"You don't bother to contribute to the discussion at hand, and keep posting reaction tweets from chuds as if we want to see it. Posters who keep making GBS threads up the DnD subforum keeps growing, and good posters in this thread will leave if this continues. That's why...I have to permaban posters like you."
