I don't know you caught on, but the horse Senshi ate and the kelpie from earlier are both named Anne, meaning he named the kelpie after the horse he was forced to eat. But then he had to kill and eat the kelpie after it tried to do the same to him. So now that scene is even more tragic.
Is pretty fucked up to think that in this universe changeling babies were not actually trolls, but literally the same people, just different race, and still were probably killed because of a misunderstanding
Fun story, the idea of changelings in the real world was probably inspired by neurodivergent kids showing symptoms of being on the autism spectrum or ADHD.
6:40 - It's not a big deal, but just as a small reminder, when Laios says "human", that encompasses all races including halflings, elves and dwarves. What Laios is, is technically what we *traditionally* know as "human", but they're referred to as "tall man" instead, because saying "human" pretty much groups all those races together.
If I recall correctly the term "human" also includes Gnomes and interestingly enough Ogres. There's also an aside that describes what makes certain races "human" and others "demi-human" --apparently, the deciding factor is the number of bones in their bodies, which is the same for all human species regardless of their size. Orcs, for example, are demi-humans because they have differently structured legs which end in hooves instead of feet, and as a result, have skeletons with a different number of bones compared to the human species.
Yea by human he means all of the human species, it’s like how anthropologists consider all the members of the genus Homo as being human even though we only think of our species as being the only humans
@@grim6129 No, the raymondthrone7197 up above is correct. Ogres/oni, like Inutade, are "humans" too. All "human" races are catergorized by having the same bone count, and the horns of ogres count as being part of the skull. Orcs are demi-humans though.
about Marcille immediately getting mana sickness, it was mentioned in a previous episode half-foots have way less mana/ability to produce magic if not basically nothing compared to tall-mans and especially long lived races which is why you almost never see a mage half-foot
Gnomes appear to have high magic affinity by comparison (enough so that an entire school of magic is named for them), which interestingly implies that size doesn't really correlate with magical ability. It just seems that certain races are more apt for it than others.
@@raymondthrone7197 Gnomes and Elf have opposing principle of magic btw. To short it out, Gnome "let" magic do their own pace while Elf "command" magic to do specific action. Like artists vs scientists
that was the most compelling "'ive been waiting to taste this again my whole life" and the back story explains how senshi got into monster eating, the author really cooked with this one
8:30 I love to see how the Senshi backstory got you in your feelings, I love the contrast of how he usually is and how he was the first half of the episode. Kinda like watching your dad cry, it was a really sweet moment with the party
As an added bonus, in the manga, the author also had graphs as bonus content that showed what every character would look like if they stepped on a changeling.
In fact, last time there was a depiction of the griffin moving like a horse and Laios narrowing his eyes at the attack of its hind legs. By episode 22, he begins to realize that Griffin isn't actually Griffin at all.
i think dwarven bodies get more tired since their naturally more muscular? which means (again, i think) less body fat which means you experience exhaust, weakness and overall fatigue more
Funniest thing is Senshi's diary in the extras where he says he thought he was acting normally the entire time and got insulted that the party said he was "putting on airs"
@@valvadis2360 I love the idea that as a dwarf he's still looksmaxxing. we just don't notice because he looks like a silly goblin to us cus he's a dwarf.
People thinking senshi mannerism TURN into a delicate pretty elf but he never really change the way he act, it's just it give entirely different vibe because it's a different body He kept flipping his hair because his helmet couldn't fit anymore and it's something that usually hold is humongous hair and beard in place. He usually only talk when it's necessary, which usually in regards to food or for the team's well being. He literally can't hold all his heavy equipment now and he couldn't do magic despite having enough mana so.. standing pretty is the only thing he coud do in
It's never been confirmed by the author Ryoko Kui, but since she created a ton of fanarts for the RPG characters she created and romanced in-game it is safe to say she is a gamer, which led many to think the gruesome story of Senshi's origins was directly inspired by the game Dwarf Fortress. If you never heard about Dwarf Fortress, it is an insanely difficult independent game where you control a group of Dwarf settlers trying to establish their own fortress. Most adventures end up with the same kind of terrible fate wiping your budding colony, when a miner digs into a lava flow, or awakes an ancient monstrosity while looking for ore.
If you’ve never heard of the Alabtross Soup riddle, I highly recommend searching it up on UA-cam and watching it. Immediately came to mind as I watched this episode.
Just everything has a winged lion theme in the dungeon since the start. From the statues to the fountains, the coins, the living armor, Kensuke, and of course the cover of the Lunatic Magician tome. That's your connection right there.
@@TheZapan99 I mean yeah, but decorations aside, Kensuke just happened to be a creature that can open locks and it ended up with Laios, so maybe there's more to it, also now that I think about it, did Kensuke turn into a lion to somehow trick Yaad into thinking that Laios is the one??
Also they did state that already that it's pretty connected, considering the the little crawlers we're "eating" away at kenskue and made the lion head appear on it.

senshi didn't just think he ate human flesh, he thought he LIKED it. for nearly 80 years now he's been eating the flesh of monsters, and everytime he's thought to himself that the flesh of his friend tasted better.
I don't know you caught on, but the horse Senshi ate and the kelpie from earlier are both named Anne, meaning he named the kelpie after the horse he was forced to eat. But then he had to kill and eat the kelpie after it tried to do the same to him. So now that scene is even more tragic.
I didn't get a this, poor senshi
Is pretty fucked up to think that in this universe changeling babies were not actually trolls, but literally the same people, just different race, and still were probably killed because of a misunderstanding
in the manga extras, we learn trolls are actually tall-man, the half foots just make shit up to scare kids...
In the manga this very thing is actually touched upon. I guess they decided to not include it because of time and also because how dark it is.
I still wish they animate some of extras to shorts or omakes. Soooo many interesting thing there
Fun story, the idea of changelings in the real world was probably inspired by neurodivergent kids showing symptoms of being on the autism spectrum or ADHD.

Humans- elves, dwarves, tallmen, gnomes, and half-foots
Demi-humans- kobolds, ogre/oni, fishmen, mermaid
@@grim6129 No, the raymondthrone7197 up above is correct. Ogres/oni, like Inutade, are "humans" too. All "human" races are catergorized by having the same bone count, and the horns of ogres count as being part of the skull. Orcs are demi-humans though.

Well, dwarves are even worse since they have no mana to begin with, so they can't even cast spells
Literally D&D 2nd edition race restrictions

Note on if laios is lying, remember he doesn’t lie. Even kabru knows this. Laios either gets super honest or keep his lips shut.
Even if tries lying, he's really terrible at it.
Kensuke is like that one item that kinda a bother but you need to carry it to unlock the game true ending
that was the most compelling "'ive been waiting to taste this again my whole life" and the back story explains how senshi got into monster eating, the author really cooked with this one
"Chilchuck looks so funny as a person" I know what you meant but damn 😂
Nah he the group's pet
He looks like how he acts now. A dad going through a mid-life dungeon crawling crisis. xD
@@auburncrow4568 the fact that being a tall-man is so calming for him makes me realize why he's flipping out all the time lmao
@@Green-FUKUFUKUFUKUFUKUFUKUwait i didn't get it, why is he always a short tempered little bi-
@@Green-FUKUFUKUFUKUFUKUFUKU Yeah, It makes sense that someone with the build and the senses of a halffoot would act like a small animal.
Why was Senshi unaffected by the changelings? Senshi has always been handsome and cool.
Laois and chilchuck in shapeshifter episode: "this senshi looks derpy, this probably ain't our senshi"
Other than becoming taller & having pointy ears, I see no difference too 😂🤷♂️.
From crying from sadness to crying from laughter
8:30
I love to see how the Senshi backstory got you in your feelings, I love the contrast of how he usually is and how he was the first half of the episode.
Kinda like watching your dad cry, it was a really sweet moment with the party
8:52 the way you guys making same 🥺🥺 face lmaoo
14:54 is that the same bell that Shuro gave Laios ?
Yes. I hope this doesn't cause any effects.
@@MrDUneven
It does
hopefully theres a season 2 since the 2nd half of the story is even crazier
it's already basically confirmed. (they showed some storyboards/character models from later on in the manga in a behind the scenes video)
As an added bonus, in the manga, the author also had graphs as bonus content that showed what every character would look like if they stepped on a changeling.
Words can not describe how much I love Dungeon Meshi
It is exactly in the middle of the Manga, which is a prime time for a second season.
In fact, last time there was a depiction of the griffin moving like a horse and Laios narrowing his eyes at the attack of its hind legs. By episode 22, he begins to realize that Griffin isn't actually Griffin at all.
Senshi's insistence on keeping the youth fed in previous episodes 😢
i think dwarven bodies get more tired since their naturally more muscular? which means (again, i think) less body fat which means you experience exhaust, weakness and overall fatigue more
Elf senshi is a mood
Funniest thing is Senshi's diary in the extras where he says he thought he was acting normally the entire time and got insulted that the party said he was "putting on airs"
@@valvadis2360 I love the idea that as a dwarf he's still looksmaxxing. we just don't notice because he looks like a silly goblin to us cus he's a dwarf.
The fact that Elf Senshi is so beautiful implies that he is also considered incredibly beautiful by Dwarven standards as well.
It was said he's basically the twink-version of a Dwarf. Even Senshi himself said his behavior and actions is un-dwarf like.
I'd also say that his Elf-Senshi looks manly for an Elf then
i love that senshi is just vibing in the second half of the episode, he deserves it after that first half😭
THIS EPISODE WAS PEAAAAAKKKKKK!!!! Man i love this show so much I really hope they announce a second season soon.
Chibi marcille is sooooo adorable while an Elf Senshi is so distracting with his beauty.

She is a gamer. She actually delayed the manga to take a break and play BG3.

it's in the extra comics, but since marcille had to use her hair to make the familiars they ate, they ended up eating hair back then too 😭
3:51 the look 😂
dwarves are still human, the entirety of Laios crew are humans, a dwarf, a half-foot, an elf, and two tall-men
did u notice, senshi name the from ep 7 same as the horse in this ep🥲i just notice also the helmet senshi is wearing is from the red beard dwarf
Human chilchuck looking like david tennant
Omfg
His horse
Anne
Im fucking crying
Laios got the sword from the lion decorated living armor, maybe it's somehow connected 🤔

Think someone said the Senshi's backstory was inspired by the Albatross Soup.
Wasn't the bell that Laios threw for Izutsumi the one that Shuro gave him? Wondering how that'll play out
On the previous episode, did anyone catch how Laios reacted to the Griffin kicking one of the familiars?
Sexy heart throb Senshi was 100% gold, just top tier

The bald buff dwarf planned to eat Senshi....

i love predicting anime but this one lost me hard lot of plotwist lmao 😂
Imagine they stays this way 💀💀
I think Dwarf has more strength but less stamina
Fun Fact: Half-foots have the lowest amount of mana of all the races.
React to bleach!!!
