From what I can tell, as long as En Garde doesn't die, the sword will be considered a living weapon -- pretty much, the more you use it the stronger it becomes XD

the spoilers for ch. 20 is out.

Spoiler for 20:

what else, they cook and eat the water elements, (water horse stew) and rather cleaver, too. Senshi's wokS are more to meet the eyes, you wonder what kind of life Senshi had to make him to have such hax wokS!

Chapter 20 is out! Turns out the pot is a shield and made of adamantite to boot!

[MrTerrorist]

Spoiler for c20:

An adamantine pot. Senshi's pot is made of adamantium!
Heck, it's strong enough to withstand the water elementals blast.

[marvelB]

I find it amusing how Marcille is gradually becoming less and less of a "straight man" at this point. I mean, she was the one planning on how to trap the undine, she was the one who assisted in cooking the stew, etc.... guess Laius and Senshi rubbed a little too much of themselves on her at this point, heh.


Also found Chilchak's comments about his involvement in the party being purely for business rather interesting, as well. Though I sort of still wouldn't be surprised if, despite his words, he proves that he does care more for Laius' party as friends than business partners through some outrageous, life-threatening stunt.

[MrTerrorist]

A special chapter is out that asks "What if there was a underground shopping center in the Dungeon and the party goes to buy a birthday cake?"

Results: Hilarious!

[bakato]

Finally a new chapter! Frog cosplay!

[ellifeedn]

Reminds me of something out of Final Fantasy.

[MrTerrorist]

Cute? More like weird.
Then again, it's Laius who said that.

[marvelB]

Oh, classic Laius..... your obsession with murderous organisms never ceases to amuse me. And I see Marcille is back to her old straight man self this chapter, as well. All in all, lots of fun!


Also, I see the translators changed the name of Laius' sword from "Enguard" back to the original "Kensuke". Interesting....

[Anh_Minh]

Those giant frog costumes weren't as cute as I hoped. Poor Marcille.

(I wonder what Railgun's Mikoto would have thought of it? She's pretty into frogs.)

[marvelB]

No talk of the latest chapter? It's quite an interesting one IMO, despite the lack of Laius' party.


So we learn a bit more about the island the dungeon is located at, a bit of political talk, and we even further explore the risks of death in the dungeon. Looks like the elves' interest in the dungeon (as well as their script being used for the glyphs) gives further credence to the theory of that dark elf from the painting chapter being the master of the dungeon. Though I do find it interesting that elves of all races would be interested in immortality (aren't they usually depicted as living up to several thousands of years old in most fiction?).


And on the subject of age..... I like how Namari has trouble judging whether other races are young or old from their age (I guess 61 would be pretty young for her, though, heh). Still, as fascinating as this chapter was, I really hope the next one goes back to Laius and co. roasting up some monsters....

[Anh_Minh]

Well, there was that chapter with Chilchak's age. I don't think Namari's alone with that problem.

And just because you live centuries or millenias doesn't mean you don't want more. (Plus, I'm not sure we should take Tance's word for it when it comes to Elves. He seems a bit biased. And he's old, so it wouldn't be weird for him to be the one interested in immortality.)

[MrTerrorist]

I laugh when the old Gnome was talking how great Laius and the party were and then shown the party looking like a bunch of beggars.

[bakato]

Chapter 23!

Spoiler for 23:

After 23 chapters, our heroes have finally found their goal, the red dragon! Fittingly, their last meal is "Let's cutlet the dragon to pieces."

[marvelB]

Aaaawww yeah, it's dragon-slaying time!


And yeah, that was meal name sure was clever. Now, let's hope they can rescue Farlyn safe and sound so they can show that dragon that karma is a bitch..... by making it her first meal upon her freedom.

[Anh_Minh]

I like how affectionate Marcille is.

I hope they'll get Farlyn back. Even if there are plenty of mysteries left to explore.

[Tenzen12]

I hope Dungeon Meshi will not end with Gang saving Farlyn, but continue and properly introduce her in next awesome arc to come.

There is already a foreshadow about Immortal spell. I think the government will give Laius's party this mission after returning to the surface.

[Stark700]

Really nice to see this series back. And that red dragon....just looking at it gives me the shivers. Glad to see a dish again. It doesn't look very extravagant imo but still delicious on paper.
