If Delicious in Dungeon episode 11 could be compared to something, it would be the quiet kid that everyone likes but then shows up in class with an AR. Up to this point, a light and fluffy story about eating random things while trying to save someone, has turned into a rather dark story with a rather epic battle.
To Trap a Dragon
It’s refreshing to see the main characters express uncertainty about their ability to handle the situation due to their circumstances. Often, we see low self-confidence or self-esteem issues as the reason someone questions their ability to accomplish their goals. But here, that’s not the case. The Delicious in Dungeon team knows they are outmatched and outgunned. Not only might they have a chance of not killing the dragon, but they might also suffer the same fate as Falin.
Knowing they couldn’t rush in, they decided that the best way to deal with the menacing overgrown salamander that was rampaging around town was to knock down a building on it and hope that it would bring it down. knock it down. With explosive magic deployed, the party ran around town, trying to lure the dragon into their trap. It is explained that dragons store fuel in their bodies and use their tongues to burn fuel. And believe it or not, this is scientifically possible. All dragons need to do is create a flammable substance like ethanol (something juveniles already do in the wild), find a way to expel it under pressure, and ignite it with a spark created in their teeth. Then you have a living, breathing fire thrower.
When they lured the dragon into their trap, they were blown away by dragon fire, much to their relief. The Senshi’s pans actually protect them from its fiery breath. However, they distribute heat so well that they cannot be used as a shield because they cannot even retain heat due to extreme temperatures. But they get the dragon where it needs to go, and Marcille drops a house on it like Dogo Koba drops cute anime girls — with delight and pride.
But that works about as well as telling nerds they need to shower before going to a conference. It can be said that it is completely useless. As the dragon rises from the ruins and stands before the stunned Dungeon Delicious party, Laios mentions that dragons and tyrannosaurs are both vision-based predators. If you really stand still, they won’t catch you. If only taxes had that effect.
As they lay there, they were probably contemplating what they had done to deserve their current situation. Laios noticed that the dragon’s weak point was right above him. All he had to do was stab it, but his little monster friend got himself and his sword out of the situation, leaving him weaponless, turning the dragon into an apparition. their presence.
Kill the dragon
When the dragon tried to stuff them into its stomach and get out, it was so quiet. An interesting thing happens: it won’t burn them while they’re under it. This could mean that it is not immune to dragonfire. Meaning it can hurt itself with its own fire. It could also mean that it cannot breathe fire when its head is down. Either way, they are trapped there and to help them, Marcille begins to attack, but it is a futile gesture. Out of desperation, the Senshi took out his Mithril chef’s knife and said it could cut through anything. And cut out whatever it does. With it, they were finally able to superficially wound the dragon.
However, although the cut was deep, the insult went deep to the core and the dragon began to rage. The Senshi try to distract it so Laios can pick up his sword but in the process gets squashed like a turd in a dog park. Laios runs to help him, but Chilchuck tells him to meet Marcille and come up with a new plan, and he runs to help the Senshi. Once there, he pulled out his knife and threw a stab at the dragon’s eyeball. This gives him and the Senshi enough time to retrieve Laios’s sword, but they are quickly knocked out by falling debris.
When he returned to Marcille, they came up with a plan to shoot him towards the dragon with one of her magical blasts, and it worked! Although he managed to keep himself on the dragon while it writhed around, he allowed the beast to bite his leg as he swung below it and attempted to deliver a fatal blow. As he lies on the ground, bleeding, we flash back to his younger days with Falin. One in which she bid him farewell. And that’s what we call the promise of the worst to come.
Goodbye Falin
As Delicious in Dungeon episode 11 continues, we finally get the answer to the question of how long it takes a dragon to digest someone. Spoiler alert: not long enough. As Marcille heals the group, the Senshi question the logic of rapid healing, but his objections fall on deaf ears. Laios plays better once his leg is reattached, but their celebration is short-lived. When they reached the stomach, they realized to their horror that there was no more Falin. There is no Falin in the intestines.
In desperation, Laios examined the dragon’s fire sac, and when they dug through the digested matter, they found Falin’s staff. And then, to the group’s horror, they find Falin’s remains. A decomposing skull. And with that, Delicious in Dungeon episode 11 ends with a surprising ending.
Delicious in Dungeon Episode 11Summary
Trigger did a great job with this episode. No other way. There is no praise that should not be sung. Everything, from the pacing to the voice acting, is done so perfectly that not only can nothing be added, but nothing can be taken away. Every work, no matter how small, plays an indispensable role. The breaks and pauses, the quiet moments — it all adds up to a shaky, stomach-churning experience.
Seeing as how the dungeon resurrection lore has been presented and in the last episode we were told that someone was successfully resurrected after the stool, Falin has some pretty good chances of coming back except when the show packs a compelling punch. Either way, the way this show goes from a cushy gourmet slice of life to a hurtful show is perfect.
