Incomplete/imperfect knowledge in Dungeon Meshi is so good isn't it?
The exposition I usually see in made up worlds tend to the side of being perfect explanations (or at least they eventually get explained to the audience) but in dungeon meshi we get a lot of speculation from in world imperfect understanding of the people living in it, it's so good.
The bad understanding that gets corrected later on it's like "Oh I see why they thought that" but some isn't even given a good answer at all.
Some examples is of course the living armors people assumed were moved by magic but were a monster. But there's also less obvious things, like the understanding about ancient magic, dungeons, the basilisk "which one is the main body", differences between humans and demi-humans etc
Even characters that know more than other characters still have blank spaces in their understanding they fill with misconceptions. Like the canaries not fully understanding the demon even tho they think they do.
This is one of the great parts about the ending 10/10
Tumblr media
so what happens now that the world was changed? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
