You know what's so funny about this? It's usually the detective character who does this.

Oh. Arin isn't even the detective in his own story. He's the Watson to Wyfy's Sherlock.

This Post Contains Spoliers for Dungeon Meshi! Proceed with Caution!!

That out of the way:

After last night's episode and having read the Manga, the winged lion (the demon) was put into perspective.

The winged lion is a amazing manipulator, this is just a fact. It's an intellegent predator who has learned to cultivate its favorite food. It strung Thistle along for years to make then a better meal.

After watching episode 19 I realized that it was planning to use Marcille and Liaos to escape for a while. Possibly even before Falin gets eaten.

See, we know that the Winged Lion is able to control the monsters. We see that with kensuke, how he uses it to talk to Liaos. We also see him with the Succubi, and his 'introduction'. What's to say he couldn't control the Nightmares.

It would be too easy to have them infect her, and throw her fears to the forefront of her mind. Scared desperate people are easier to guide than someone more rational and focused.

The main reason I belive this was the fact the winged lion was in the dream. We know he is the grimoures, and in Maecillds mind, who didn't see them up close, why would they still have its eye.

No, it planted the idea in Marcilles head that she needed to become the dungeon lord, that she needed to find the grimoires early. That having this power was the answer to her longest held fears. The scene at the cabin only reinforced it, taking away all of Marcilles friends to remind her of what she needs the books for. Why it's worth becoming the dungeon lord. It knows what they desire after all, and we know it makes people greedy, it's influence pushes people to value their personal desires over all.

Bht what about Liaos, why all the focus on him is Marcille was the targer?

I would say Liaos was a back up plan, but he's not. The lion is running two cons simulatiously because either way, it knew that they would help it get out into the real world.

And it was right to a certain degree.

Scary

Schlatt: Pumps you full of xylem and phloem. 

[Ted and Critikal laugh]

Schlatt: And chlorophyll. 

Charlie: I haven’t heard the word Floam in a long, long time. 

Ted: I don’t think I’ve ever heard the word Floam. 

Critikal: That is a first for me as well. It’s been a while. 

[Schlatt laughs]

Charlie: Like, Floam— the word Floam actually like— I heard like a lock [cchkk] break open and like a fucking core memory unlocked when you said Floam. 

Schlatt: Welcome back to seventh grade biology class, man. 

Charlie: I just— like, my eyes just glazed over—

Ted: Wait, wait wait, Floam.

Charlie: And I had 60 Floam ads play in front of me all at once.

Critikal: Floam is like the little almost sand-like particles. 

Charlie: Like, the little beads. Like, right? They were little sticky beads. 

Schlatt: They travel through the— through the vesticles of the tree. Yeah, phloem. P-h-l-o-e-m. 

Charlie: No, okay we’re talking about— we’re definitely talking about different things. We’re definitely talking about different things. I’m talking about the— the like, the product for children, Floam. 

Critikal: Same. 

Charlie: Not like the— Not like the tree—

Schlatt: What? You’re not talking about the tree? The parts of the tree? 

Charlie: There’s no Floam— they don’t put— Floam comes from trees? Hang on. 

Schlatt: Yes. 

Critikal: Wait, what the fuck are you talking about? 

Charlie: No it doesn’t. No, that’s bullshit. 

Schlatt: Google— Google p-h-l-o-e-m. 

Charlie: How about— How about you Google f-l-o-a-m. 

Schlatt: Phloem. Function: the vascular tissue in plants that conduct sugars and other metabolic products downwards from the leaves. 

Ted: Oh, so you’re talking about something totally different. 

Schlatt: What the fuck, You thought I was talking about the fucking children’s toy Floam?

Charlie: I thought you were talking about the children’s toy Floam. 

Ted: Why would— Why would—

Schlatt: What, like the kinetic sand?

Charlie: Nickelodeon Floam, originally called Bubble-gak, a compound composed of—

Schlatt: Bubble-gak?

Charlie: Microbeads in a foam-like substance. 

Ted: Can I just ask something? Can I just ask something? Why would Charlie get so nostalgic, Schlatt, over a vascular tissue in plants that conducts sugars—

[Critikal laughs]

Schlatt: I— Listen, man. I—

Charlie: Come on, I remember when I was in the tree among the sap, like what the fuck did you think I was talking about? 

Schlatt: I was just— I thought I had just found someone who was equally as interested in trees as I was. 

Charlie: Oh, I love chlorophyll and the cell wall. 

Schlatt: Come on, man. You’re making fun of me now. You’re making fun of my passion. 

Charlie: Oh God, my chloroplasts lit up when you mentioned that. 

Schlatt: It’s— It’s not my fault I like wood, okay. 

Ted: Boom.

The lyrics for the song playing while Jinshi is carrying Maomao away from the temple:

Staring at your unclouded eyes, I realize how stupid I am. Turn into a flame. Let's protect that strong heart. Let's light the path as you walk. No one can take away this heat that I hold in your arms.

I'm?!?! screaming?!?!

Ron’s reaction is so cute. That kind of jealousy that he cannot probably shake off. Nyonyon becomes a threat. So he tries hard to understand Toto’s fascination with the musician. Moreover, Toto’s platinum ticket to meet the artist is courtesy of another friend.

Then there’s the interplay between Nyonyon’s lyrics to “Memories” and Toto’s words explaining why the musician is a genius.

Ron listens:

All this stupid crap (the crimes) has got us hanging our heads / All these moronic jerks (The Moriartys, the criminals) have condemned us to a dead end / It overflows, sweeping everything away / And are you some hero of justice? (Ron?) / No matter how much I scream, how much I wish, I'll never escape…

Then while Toto explains:

Nyonyon: An empty head and the climactic pleasure of the desire for domination

Toto: Nyonyon got her start making music with voice synthesizer software,

N: In my mind, the words spin round and round

T: and people have hailed her as a brilliant composer ever since.

N: Hate you! Hate you!

Masterpiece "Omoi" Fastest Song Ever to Reach 100 Million Plays Worldwide!

T: But after her major debut,

N: My oversensitivities clutch at the trigger

Masterpiece "Omoi" Fastest Song Ever to Reach 100 Million Plays Worldwide!

T: she started using her real face and voice!

N: How marvelous! What a perfect world /All these unwritten rules about to break

T: And I'm going to get platinum tickets to go see such a hot artist!

Ron drops the bluetooth earphones.

Then right there and then he decides to accompany Toto.

Anyway, the insert song is from Marutyu and Kazuki Nose. Singer is Ayahi Takagaki.

Additionally, Ron has successfully attached himself to Nyonyon. Toto might be star-struck but he is still a police officer and Ron is a civilian. Ron thinks he’s appeared more cool to Toto, hence the blushes, and yes, Nyonyon ruffling his feathers.

At papa´s funeral, mama told me that I run faster than everyone else.

i like the little detail that chilchuck covers his ears the entire time that izutsumi is eating, presumably because she's making such disgusting slurping/chewing noises and with half-foot hearing, the misophonia has GOT to be dialed up to eleven.
