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.
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT!
I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THE PAINTING CHAPTER! THIS EPISODE IS FULL OF LORE, GUYS!
Let's hear your theories on what the past events in the paintings are about, and what significance the people in them had.
The gang has some trouble finding food, but things work out before long. Laios learns that despite being the party leader, he is the youngest. Marcille is a round 50, while Senshi is 112. That leaves Laios at 26, three years younger than Chilchuck.
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.
I think both of these paintings gave off the same vibe.
I really like Chilchick. His character, skills and realistic view at the world, make him something more than the sum of his parts.
The dark elf jester (I think she is a bard) has also came up in the opening, but she isn't in the still image but she runs up towards the group just to not be left behind. I wonder how did she retain the memories between the paintings. Is she cursed or something that she can't escape to the real world?
We'll be finding out a lot more about them.
My suspicion is that the paintings might be actual portals to the depicted point in time. Or an attempt to re-create the event.
