Dungeon Meshi is a well liked manga, and an adaptation by Studio Trigger is now airing. If you haven’t picked this one up, consider joining us. Both for fun and as a way of contributing to activity on Lemmy.

Episodes are available to stream on Netflix.


Well, crud. That victory really didn’t last.

We finally have an appearance from a proper antagonist, the mad sorcerer. He is an ancient dark elf carrying a spell-book full of forbidden magic. And he’s really not very happy about his pet dragon getting offed.

He seems to think that Falin is the red dragon, now. Or is the red dragon Falin?

Either way, she’s taken away again, and the gang end up as a quartet, licking their wounds in the company of the orcs. As things look to be at their worst, Chilchuck has a crisis of conscience.


Remember not to spoil anything if you’re a manga reader, but feel free to elaborate on tidbits of lore that may not be coming through in the adaptation.

    He did seem to care about what happens to the kings in the paintings. The older king died, so the younger one got the throne, and that’s the one he’s been talking about, the same Derghal that got coronated.

    If you put the stuff we know about him together you can create a chain of logic: elf > long lifespan > for some reason was around humans who would keep dying from old age, and clearly cares about the humans > ? > master of a dungeon which is maintaining an immortality spell

      Good observation! I didn’t make the lifespan connection at all.
