WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS! 🦊 Delicious in Dungeon Meshi Ep 18 REACTION & REVIEW! 

Sorry for the lateness, the video was stuck on "processing" all day for some reason LEAVE A LIKE FOR DUNGEON MESHI GREATNESS!

You might have forgotten it, but during the Marcille-at-the-academy flashback episode, we have a little snippet of mini-Fallin proudly saying that her brother imitates dogs very well

The logic behind Laios' dog impression lies with shapeshifters being common in his homeland by multiplying sheep and eating the real ones, so hunting/shepherd dogs protect the flock by intimidating the shapeshifter away which is what Laios did here. And of course he can do a great dog impression as child Falin mentioned way back in a previous episode.

"I really admire my brother!" ... "He makes a really good dog impression" - Falin episode 8

Laios's imitation of a hunting dog was meant to trigger the fight or flight response in the shapeshifter, thus distracting them from upholding the illusions and revealing their location. It really hinged a lot on animal instincts overriding cunning hunting strategies, and it is such a perfect thing for Laios to attempt :D

Well, we did learn in episode 8 that Falin thought Laios did a great impression of a dog. Not only do the jokes come back but in this case they actually helped solve a problem the protagonists were facing. This story is so good.

21:12 lot of overseas ppl easily noticed she is cat girl in the her first appearance is so interesting to me, coz most of japanese are didn't noticed. ppl misunderstanding she's costume is ninja but actually its 黒子（kuroko). its traditional backstage person costume and originally shaped like cat ears. so most of jp viewers see her and just thought "oh there's kuroko girl".

i like how because Dwarves are so rough and tough, they view tall-men as rather feminine, hence the sexy, feminine Laios shapeshifter.

In one of the extra comics by the author Ryoko Kui, she explains that the elves and dwarves, being two of the most powerful long-lived races, have spheres of cultural influence which influence beauty standards (just like the real world!). Half-foot cultures tend to look to the dwarves for their beauty standards, while tall-man cultures mostly (but not all) tend to look to the elves. It's a nice bit of worldbuilding that Chillchuk thinks of Senshi as very handsome!

Btw through a volume extra we see which doppleganger was made by who, and the mew-maxing Marcille was Senshi’s. I love how that implies that throughout the entire journey, both serious and funny, Marcille has always looked like that to Senshi.

It’s a shame you guys forgot falin’s line in the marcille backstory episode, where she says that he’s good at imitating dogs. That was setup for this joke 😂

The dog thing was just him creating a fear response since dogs are used for hunting

Since i didn't see anyone actually saying the whole thing and i'm bored, the author said which shapeshifter corresponded to each one of them so: For Laios: The giant one comes from Marcille, since she was told that Laios looked a lot like Falin, when she actually met him found him way more masculine The feminine/falin look-like is from Senshi. Dwarvs think that Tall-Men are very feminine in comparation to them The crazy one is from Chilchuk, he knows him pretty well but finds his monster admiration weird For Marcille: The mewing one is Senshi's. Dwarvs and Elf don't get along well and Marcille is the only one he has met so his mind is very influenced by the thing he heard of them The one with the extra long hair and bad magic is from Chilchuk. He likes long blonde hair and has zero interest in magic The one with her hair down and serious look is Laios's. How she looked when she performed black magic left a big impression on him For Chilchuck: The cute one is from Marcille, she knows he's an adult but it is still weird for her The very cute one with bad gear is from Senshi, he knows next to nothing about Half-foots and thinks he's a kid The one with a scarf is from Laios, overall a very accurate Chilchuck but he does not wear a scarf For Senshi: The one with a perfect helmet is Laios's, another very accurate depiction but he didn't notice that his helm was kinda broken The beautifull one is from Chilchuck. Half-Foots view Dwarvs as very good looking The other one with wrong cooking equipment is Marcille's, and he actually is shorter and stronger since that's what surprised her more about him

Some funfacts that you won't know unless you read the extra stuff the author did: handsome Senshi is Chilchuck's impression because dwarves are popular among halflings. Creepy Marcille is Senshi's because his race is scared of elves, stoic Marcille is Laios' memory from her resurrecting Falin because he's really impressed by her determination. Cute Chil is Senshi's because Senshi still thinks of him as a child. I love the show, but reading the manga really gives you the right amount of effort and thought has been put in by the author, she really cares for everything in the story, every single detail about those characters.

"who's talking" the...the narrator. he's been here. did you forget that this show has a narrator?

I haven’t read the manga but I did see the page that explained each fake and who’s thoughts they were based on. The last three were Chilchuck’s Senshi (apparently dwarves are often considered very masculine and handsome by half foots), Marcille’s Chilchuck (being an elf she sees him as a plucky youth) and Laios’s Marcille (her recent actions when trying to save Falin left the largest impact on him)

There's been at least one dog in every flashback to Laios' childhood, and in another flashback Falin told Marcille that Laios could do an amazing dog impression. It was VERY set-up.

During the Marcille Falin flashback, Falin tells Marcille about how Laios' good point is that hes great at imitating dogs.

I love how you can tell that the version of Marcille with her hair down is from Laios memory, do to her book being almost just as detailed as the real one.

If you remember, after the flashback with Falin and Marcille in school, we see Falin mention that Laios does a REALLY good dog impression

Laios did mention that there were shapeshifters at his homeland which means he knows how to deal with them

お兄さんが狐を知ってるみたいで嬉しかったな 狐や狸は日本では人を化かす(人や物に化けたり、人を馬鹿にしたりする)と言われています🦊 原作者の九井先生は、日本人なら誰でも知ってるこの言い伝えと、創作物でよく登場する「シェイプシフター」という怪物の概念をうまく混ぜ合わせています。 こういうところが大好き！

Fun fact: in the other language translations, they don't call Senshi "cool", they call him "handsome", so both Laios and Chilchuck think Senshi is handsome lmao Love your reaction and analysis as always!! The perfect Laios dog impression is just my autistic ass imitating animals too haha

the dog thing with laios was in fact setup btw. back when we got the marcille flashback to magic school, falin praised laios for having a really good impression of a dog

also, about why the dragon was moving: we already know why. It wasn't due to animal shit, it was beign controlled by the lunatic mage to 'find delgal'. THe lunatic mage is making falin do it because he thinks she's JUST ACTUALLY THE RED DRAGON and he's so insane now he doesn't think "why is the red drgaon a young woman who can talk now". THis is also why it was moving aroudn mroe than usual and in turn why falin got digested earlier than she was suppsoed to.

For why Laios did the dog impression, I think he deduced the shapeshifter was a beast capable of illusions. He figured that it probably has a keen sense of smell and hearing and heavy fur due to the cold blizzard weather of the dungeon floor. And as mentioned by some in the comments, the barking triggered a response from the shapeshifter.

I get forgetting Laios' connections with dogs, a lot of the stuff that people remember it by is the extra volume content (like the talk about how they named the dogs), which just isnt getting animated. Its only been brought up... Twice? Three times? In a series like this ya sometimes forget details like that

Fun detail in this episode: Marcille and Senshi are wearing the frogskin shoes because normally they'd be wearing open shoes/sandals which aren't exactly useful in snow. 😊

The whole laios dog thing was mentioned at the episode where marcille remembers her magic school

Nobody ever believes Falin when she says nobody is better at imitating a dog than Laios.

Handsome Senshi is Chilchuk’s imagination~ Half foots think dwarves are very handsome and manly! Also Laios did with this Shapshifter what he did with the Cockatrice- INTIMIDATION CHECK GOOOOOO!!

worth mentioning that in both the original manga and the dub, and the other sub, that the party all calls senshi "handsome" and "good-looking" instead of just cool

You correctly identified the Kitsune so I thought you would realize. A kitsune, despite its ability to trick people with leaves-morphing, is a nine-tailed fox; and foxes are always hunted by hunter dogs and innately feel threatened by hunting dog barks. That's why Laios was ensuring he was imitating not just any dog but hounds.

In one of the early episodes, we saw a flashback wherein Fallin told Marcile that her brother had a really good dog impression.

20:20 It was set up in episode 8 i think in a flashback where falin was talking about laios with marcile about how he is good at imitating a Dog ,probably Carlson spoke over the scene and neither of u guys caught it.

OUR GIRLY IS HEEEERE! On another note, POP QUIZ: - During Marcille's schooltime story, what was Falin's one notable praise of her older brother?

Laios does one thing better than anyone. Monster lore. He knew what he was facing and how to deal with it. Have you noticed that the last fake Marcille, was Marcille, except no longer careless. It is realy nice to find out later who actually sees her as someone incredible.

i am absolutely loving this anime, and to think this was just a random watch for me to pass time at the beggining, all the genres i like into one series anime, fantasy, action, rpg and cooking if you call that a genre, lol.

By in-world standards of the entire party, Senshi is, canonically, the most 'conventionally attractive' of the main party, lol.

THANKS FOR UPLOADING ❣️

heres a cool list of each perception confirmed in an extras chapter (i posted this comment on another channel btw) (also id prob recommend finding the page online searching "dungeon meshi shapeshifter chart") i really like how the audience isnt told this straight up though LAIOS serious marcille - her dark magic left a huge impression on him no holes helmet senshi - couldnt remember details of helmet muffler chilchuck - couldnt remember details of scarf (interestingly the manga translators got this off) MARCILLE big laios - met after falin, sees him as her juxtaposition proportional senshi - senshis build was exaggerated in her head, shorter/wider young chilchuck - sees as child, not as much as senshi though SENSHI cute laios - dwarves see tallmen as feminine mewing marcille - grew up hearing bad things/stereotypes about elves baby chilchuck - sees him as growing kid CHILCHUCK derpy laios - sees him as dangerous/careless wrong hairstyle marcille - pretty close representation, he likes blonde hair though handsome senshi - halflings look up to a dwarfs masculine appearance

for the dimming thing, maybe one the reason they undimmed it in the blueray is to make more people to buy the blueray?? it's possible if they're really trying to chase that profit. i remember JJK S2 Blueray sold a lot of copies, (10k+ iirc) maybe the undimming play some part on that numbers.

HE'S GOT THAT DOG IN HIM!!!!!

Fun fact: In supplementary materials, we find out how each of the party member’s memories affected the doppelgangers. Laios Marcile: His memory of her hair is vague but he vividly remembers her determined expression when resurrecting Falin. Chilchuck: Pretty accurate, although he didn’t realize he wasn't wearing a scarf Senshi: Also accurate, other than a blemish in the helmet. Marcille Laios: She heard that he looked just like Falin, but I guess he was too masculine for her gay ass, and the first impression stuck. Chilchuck: He is infantilized because she can’t comprehend that he’s an adult Senshi: His stature and height are slightly exaggerated because those traits left the biggest impression on her. Chilchuck Laios: His weirdness is VERY exaggerated because Chilchuck is weirded out by Laios. Shocker. Marcille: Not much to say other than the hair is sorta accurate because he likes blond hair but doesn’t remember the specific hairstyle Senshi: Is more handsome because the masculinity of dwarves is a trait idolized by a lot of Halfoots. Senshi: Laios: Twink Laios because tall men are viewed as more feminine in comparison to dwarves. Marcille: Botox Marcille because he had been told at a young age that elves were bad so he has subconscious racism against them. Chilchuck: He’s infantilized by Senshi similar to Marcille but worse. He legitimately thinks Chilchuck is only a child.

I love Marcille just headshot the fox with ded face 😂😂😂

It's almost there We are near 100k

7:34 It was, actually xd

The handsome Senshi joke was so fucking funny

Fox with multiple tail, it's a scary monster in east fairytale.

but why didn't the cat lady have any imposters?

Senshi a confirmed hottie.

1:10 2 versions kinda does exist mainly in the blu rays. note: specifically those bs 2-3 eps collector blu ray discs japan does. if dont know basically to up merch sales before making a full season set they make limited ep volumes. only containing 2-3 eps usually, if usd charge like 50+ per one and it contains like behind scenes, art cards and such inside it that the full release doesnt have at all. if go sounds crazy oh it is, but warning there is actual hardcore collectors of these will verbally attack you and anyone else that questions this hobby. they are also the ones that despises anime streaming since that will actually affect those they collect.

4:35 this is mainly to the manga only ppl that finished the manga. 5 4 3 2 ! from the adventurers bible vol.1 on flamela, death of her brother when the queen took him in since they share the same skin color due to royal blood does the theory of the queen is possibly some form of vampire lord/lich to live past 500 years true? if forgot or never read it: in her section from the book it goes into her origins. she had a twin brother which they both have the dark as night skin, red eyes and silver hair that only royal blood elves have like the queen. the queen got word of this and took the twin brother as her own child despite flamela and the brother parents are still alive. later the brother ended up dead with no reveal why. flamela demanded answers but was pushed away or they ignore her demands. in response flamela joined the guard and put herself in danger which the other guards make sure she lives by order of the queen due to flamela being possibly royal blood. to back this up on poissble vampire lord/lich: final volume of the book after laios became king the elves sent a message on how to stop this but the queen said allowed it, they talked about the feast and the queen mentions something she tasted a long time ago which made the others confused on that casual response of hers. fans theorize either those two i metnion or she is a dungeon master like thistle alive all this time and controlling a hidden dungeon somewhere.

"who's talking" OMG…

cool than original

Good ol amogus episode

Some shows have dimming and ghosting because they air during night in japan! Dungeon meshi has none

Handsome Senshi lasted way too long hah

Please react to Akuma No Ko by Ai Higuchi(Special Ver) Aot. This is a humble request

OK, let's see if I get this right... 🕵 Tall Laios: by Chilchuk - he sees him like that from below Cute Laios: by Senshi - because he's always eager to eat his food Derpy Laios: by Marcille - because he makes her eat gross stuff Wrong Helmet Senshi: by Laios - didn't pay attention Handsome Senshi: by Chilchuk - by elimination, as it wasn't Marcille Clean Pan Senshi: by Marcille - by elimination, and she'd probably be the most hygienic in that regard Wrong Scarf Chilchuk: by Laios - didn't pay attention Cute Chilchuk: by Marcille - she clearly sees him like that Lame Tools Chilchuk: by Senshi - he used his tools as silverware, so he doesn't care Obvious Fake Marcille: by Senshi - only who didn't react as if it was obvious Logical Marcille: by Chilchuk - since he's the most logical one, he'd think she would act like that Lame Book / Intuitive Marcille: by Laios - by elimination, and Laios thinks more intuitively

Its not that they have a bad perceptiom of Laios, but their prejudices formed different Laioses while Laios doesnt think that much so his doppelgangers are just basically the same but wrong basic gear

Laios may be autistic, but he can be surprisingly observant.
