so in latest elf chapter it's revealed that the dungeon is run by a demon that eats the soul and desires of dungeon masters.
is elf autist lying? or is the lion demon misunderstood?

We already discussed this a million times. There is no reason to assume that Misurn is lying. He's likely telling his point of viewa, so his experience might not apply to every demon or dungeon. But nobody so far is lying in this manga.
>But nobody so far is lying in this manga.
Lion: Beware canaries.
Me: Ok. Fuck the elves!
it's possible that the lion is the avatar of the dungeon and not the demon per se. the winged lion iconography is present through the whole dungeon, it wouldn't make sense for the demon trapped inside to advertise its presence everywhere? and it would still make sense that the dungeon is wary of the canaries, since their MO is to destroy the dungeons with demons in them.
I think the winged lion is using Laius to get closer to Marcille. Her ambitions are way broader in scope than his are (considering how excited she was to hear that she'd died and been revived in that one flashback, I think she's trying to invent immortality: Laius just wants to be a benevolent king), so if demons prefer people with complicated goals, she'd be the perfect target. In particular, she appears to know about open portals to the other dimension, but doesn't seem to know that there are demons there; maybe the plan is to have her summon lots of demons without realizing it?
Ryoko Kui is so good at world building. there are so many small details from earlier chapters that lead me to theorycraft
Tinfoil hat mode: my crazy theory so far.
i don't think the winged lion is a the demon.
He said he made the dungeon,
so maybe to trap the demon that thistle let loose when he opened a gate to draw power to keep the kingdom from ever dying
Evidence so far I've gathered
Demons seem to have the double pupil goat eye
The lion doesn't
Thistles book has the demon eye and so thistle's thistle when he uses the book.( a book demon?)
The lion actually permanently prevented thistle from getting his main most epic desire. Keeping the king alive forever.
The lion helped the king get to the surface and finally rest in peace
The city says the lion is the city's guardian spirit. So it sound like its a thing that predate the dungeon. And was the spirit of the town when it as just a normal kingdom.
The dungeon's demon may wants marcille's desires, even planting itself in her nightmare
The lion wants Laius to save the dungeon.
I think it might end up with the two sides (demon vs Guardian spirit who made the dungeon) having their eyes on different members of the same party (laius vs marcille)
It's heavily implied, but it also seems like a red herring. I doubt it would be revealed that the winged lion is a demon this early, it's endgame shit.
Inb4 some autist screeching how you are not supposed to make threads outside chapter release days because normies would find out about the series and ruin the threads
>He said he made the dungeon,
so a god then
That sounds creepy
We need more kot
The lion is definitely full of shit and picked Laius because Laius seems to be a simpleton. Like most people, he doesn't actually understand Laius.
>we can only have threads the hour japanese raws or english translation is posted
Fuck off with your back seat moderation. Until you can ban all shounen jump series off Yas Forums, shut the fuck up.
>Series is called Dungeon Meal
>Made us believe it was about eating monsters in a dungeon.
>It actually was about the demon in the dungeon eating people's desires.
Laius was the Dungeon Meshi all along.
>The lion helped the king get to the surface and finally rest in peace
which opened up the dungeon to allow more food to enter
I want to rape captain Misurn and leave him a hollowed out shell absent of any desire!
but what do desires taste like? better than monsters?
Laius Thorden waited. The torches above him blinked and flickered. There were meals in the dungeon. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Marcille were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway. Laius was a dungeon explorer for many years. When he was young he read about the Monsters and he said to Farlyn "I want to eat the Monsters, sis..."
His Sister said "No! You will BE EAT BY DEMONS"
There was a time when he believed her. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the Dungeon he knew there were meals.
"This is the Lion of Power" he heard in his head. "You must eat the monsters!"
So Laius gotted his molluks sword and cracked open the monster.
"HE GOING TO EAT US" said the monsters
"I will fire at him" said the dragon and he blew fire towards him. Laius sworded at him and tried to stab him. But then the walls shifted and they were trapped and not able to eat.
"No! I must eat the monsters" he shouted
The voice in his head said "No, Laius. You are the meal"
And then Laius was Dungeon Meal.
I can't believe how well that fits.
Salt and coins
only if you desire that
Are your desires complex enough to grow a demon?
>Demons seem to have the double pupil goat eye
Or it did have goat eys because its in a goat form.
In the end it will be that demon is just a misnomen. These beings with a multitude of agencies come from a dimension of infinite energy and possebility so it would be retarded if they were all just generically evil.
>nobody so far is lying in this manga
Even if one somehow thinks the lion has good intentions, there was no reason for him to tell Laius to beware the Canaries while simultaneously not saying a word about the hell dimension and demons.
>a family and a homestead
>financial security
I don't think so, but that makes them none the more attainable.
So wait all dungeons run on power granted by demons who gained that power by feeding off of desires?
So like a warlock.
>Senshi can't be bothered with this bullshit
>Kot probably didn't even blink once
No, the extinct ancients used dungeons as mazes to trap demons and make it harder for them to fuck up the world. But there are other natural dungeons.
>not wanting to feed him and tenderly massage his feet instead
Dumb goat.
>Marci working for a demon to open up a portal to hell
I wish there were some more interactions between Senshi, Laius and Inutade; I think they would have gotten along.
Something to make up for Inutade choking Senshi.
That's not how it works and you would know it if you'd possess the reading comprehension of a middle schooler.
Demons came after the ancients opened a gate to the other dimension, they are a byproduct, not the once that open the gates.
cute feet!
How can nips even eat pure plain rice all the time?
how did captain know all this? did long ago they fought dungeon demon running rampant on the surface world?
>went from gloomy dungeon explorer to loving mommy
What happened?
We don't know, the manga didn't tell us.
We don't know, it's probably part of the canaries training.
the thing out of the door in has the same eye, as do the eyes peering out of the fissure in pic related, as does Thistle's book and occasionally Thistle himself. Also goats have rectangle pupils, not these weird double/connected pupils. this seems to be something unique to these creatures
Dungeons are NOT run by demons. The dungeons were made to constrain and more or less keep the demon from the outside world.
she found something to love
and then the piece of shit ran off to explore the very places she was trying to escape.
>mfw i realized that the world of meshi is one big dungeon with layers and layers of different floors and mini dungeons
Good rice can be taste decent on its own, and the texture of sticky rice seems to be really nice. Nips also seem to eat blander foods than western staples, especially the processed concentrated lumps of sugar/salt that pass for food now.
Maybe a real Japanophile can enlighten us.
Chaos and Outer Gods ain't good or evil, they just are. They're forces of nature, that no mortal can comprehend.
We already discussed this theories to hell and back, don't try to make this into a general. See you next month!
It can't be helped. He prefers traps to MILFs.
she felt guilty about whatever happened to his village.
guaranteed the elves played a role in getting his people killed.
DM demons aren't much like either of those besides being perilous beings from a seductive alternate dimension.
faggot
Breastmilk and beef jerky.
They don't. Rice is just the starch to the main and side dishes. For rice-dominant foods like onigiri, that's flavored with salt, and sushi with vinegar.
He said himself himself that they escalated the dungeons growth which lead to the catastrophe, but that's ultimately his uninformed opinion and it's not like he has a better idea or is an expert on dungeons.
It's easy to blame them, but he himself failed to talk the humans out of the dungeon.
I wish it would be this easy.
>Kabru threw away a lifetime of getting smushed by his Elf Mommy
and for what
For elf bara
Was she the one who taught Kabru how to give a greet foot massage to an elf?
Not much, she just got a bit older (there is 25 years between the Misurn incident and Utaya, so about 35 years between "Gloomy" and the cake scene).
Still clearly quite traumatised by being pressed into canaries.
Girl hoards stuffed animals, even brings one with herself into battle, tries to give orphans happy childhood with toys and cake (and probably always failing a bit).
She clearly never got over losing her childhood and yearns for that lost paradise.
Good girl Pattdohl seems to be coping better despite being ditched by her family due to having too big of a nose. Aww.
That's just cope. They are evil.
So dungeons are like nuclear reactors and the ancient fall because let some Dyatlov take care of them
Preferably naked.
Cat was already almost naked.
I want elves. Female ones that is.
I fine with naked female elves too, but there should still be more complete nudity for that cat.
