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.

It probably helps to understand that in Japanese, the word "human" is even more synonymous with "person" than it is in English. Calling a fantasy race anything other than human (and even in English they're not different species, just races) is on its face pretty insulting? Dehumanizing, you might say.

Centzon Totochtin posted:I'm glad you shared this because the whole time they were having that conversation, I was thinking "they killed a dragon, surely there's some part of it they could sell to make some money". Kind of odd that they omitted it because it seems important? They left in a little scene of Chilchuck freaking out about Senshi destroying the parts that sell well, but didn't explain it. Centzon Totochtin posted:Also didn't they say in a previous episode (I think one of the Namari ones) that another member of the old party also had a crush on or wanted to marry Fallin (Shogo who I'm assuming is the samurai looking dude in the OP and ED because Japanese sounding name) Shuro is the samurai who's in love with Falin, yes. He's also been shown in the anime during that little flashback of how they would normally fight dragons. He was the main damage dealer of the team.

MonsterEnvy posted:It’s this, Kabru says they don’t take enough interest in other people, which is why they were getting scammed. And he's right, there was a joke earlier that Laios failed to recognize Kabru even after stumbling over his dead body twice (yet immediately recognized the kobold). His thesis is that Laios simply doesn't care about other people, and therefore would be a terrible person to possess the absolute power hiding in the dungeon. Of course you also have to consider that part of the reason Kabru thinks this is that it's the exact opposite of him, who pays far too much attention to what strangers are doing. And the implication is he thinks he'd be a much better person to trust with power.

Pretty sure your soul moves on if your corpse is destroyed. That's why there was a risk of moving Falin's skeleton. They normally don't WANT the soul to move on, so they can be resurrected. I guess there are like actual ghosts hanging about as well, but I don't think there's any implication that this is directly connected to the dungeon's resurrection-friendly soul magic. Like, ghosts are clearly implied to exist on the surface too, commonly enough for spirit mages and wandering exorcists to be a stable job, so I think that's unrelated. IE: I don't think feeding their bodies to the fishes dooms their souls forever. They just die normally. Clarste fucked around with this message at 18:32 on Apr 5, 2024 |

Most venoms are meant to go directly into your bloodstream and can't survive your digestive system, it's probably fine.

Kabru mentioned in a previous episode that Shuro came on a boat with his full entourage, so it seems they were probably just hanging out in town while he went into the dungeon for his training journey. Like, having your retainers fight for you would have defeated the purpose of the training or something? Or he just fell in love with Falin and told them to stay behind so he could join her party.

Maxwell Lord posted:Tade is delightful. I like that these characters obviously have a whole set of issues and dynamics of their own that we're just barely seeing. The nanny was imagining the uninterrupted line of pure and elegant Japanese noblemen suddenly having a half-white heir after Toshiro marries Falin. She's kind of racist, so the idea puts her off. This is emphasized by having the artstyle of the portrait switch from traditional Japanese to more Western. Clarste fucked around with this message at 09:23 on Apr 19, 2024 |

Kwyndig posted: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.

Kwyndig posted:One thing to remember is all names are decided by the rights holder and their reasoning aren't always clear. There's been plenty of times where localization wanted to translate a pun and the rights holder wanted it kept in Japanese. The rights holders have the final say, but most of the time they don't care and will make the translators decide on their own. Like, even asking the original creator what X name was supposed to be in English involves going through at least 3 middlemen, each of whom will regard the question as a huge waste of everyone's time. For the names to be forced, either the original creator has to make a fuss on their own (which they usually won't because they're just a little guy who doesn't want to rock the boat) or there's some big push for merch that they want consistent for branding reasons.

It distracted from what should have been a horror moment to add in some unnecessary titillating content, at least for me. More or less than Laios calling her cool immediately beforehand?

Well, Shuro very explicitly promised to send his ninjas to smuggle them out if it comes down to it. So they definitely could leave, if not openly. Not to their normal lives though, of course.

Asterite34 posted:Y'know, I would take Shuro more seriously as a character if he didn't elect to have his entourage/emergency dungeoneering party be made up exclusively of sexy ninja ladies who all adore him, including his childhood nanny. Only his nanny seems to adore him. The other retainers are fairly professional about it. That particular gif shows them reacting with shock that he's actually being nice to them for once, ie: he is not normally nice to them. They actually seem more attracted to Kabru than Shuro, seeing how they blushed when they first met him.

Arc Hammer posted:So I might have to rewatch the episode but when Shuro said "I'm out, I'm going home" did he mention if he was still going to go through with telling the Western Elves about Falin? Or did he drop that line of thought to give Laios and crew a chance to try it their way first? Pretty sure he did not mention it. But also, like, they never even tried to get Kabru or his party to swear to secrecy so they might just be assuming that it'll get reported regardless.
