DunMeshi Incorrect quotes#15 BET-

Kabru party is taking a break in an inn but mickbell wanted to play a game of truth or dare

Mickbell: I dare you to kiss the next person who walks into this room.

Kabru: I’m not kissing any of you-

Y/n & Rin walk in, Rin heard everything and you were in your own little world

Kabru: Fine, I’ll do it...Rules are rules you know

Rin*Eyes widen and twist her hair as he walks up towards her*...

Kabru*grabs your face and kisses your lips, pulling back to see, your pupils big and round looking at him*

Cryptic!Y/n*Purrs/Chirps at him inlove*

Funny things I found out playing with language setting in Netflix while looking episode 15:

Chilchuck's scream sounds HAUNTED in brazilian portuguese. Give it a try if you can.

(You can hear it here)

In spanish dub, Senshi says: "tocó mis senos de hombre", which means "he touched my man boobs" in Spanish. And I think that's the best dub line one so far.

Mickbell had a point

mistook mickbell for the beautiful asshole girl of my dreams (a mistake the official translation also made for a bit) and was devastated to learn that he is in fact a man. i've now projected this onto meijack

Chil becoming a union organizer for half foots makes so much sense because literally any time a half foot was in chil’s vicinity he was looking out for them

Like when marcille & senshi transformed

And with mickbell

This is something I love SO much about Kuro, and about Dunmeshi's portrayal of Bilingualism.

Like ... When we first meet Kuro it's so easy to assume he's a dummy. He's a big doofy-looking dog man that only talks about food, and his sentences are disjointed and broken, so you think oh, haha, token dumb character.

But then we swap to speaking Kobold and it hits you like a truck - Kuro is a person, and he has a full and complete train of thought that he can articulate. This is a grown ass man, and in his native language he speaks just as well as anybody - not only that, but here we see that Kabru, who is usually so good with words, speaks Kobold just as poorly as Kuro does common.

It's such an easy, obvious, and common trope to depict broken speech in a characters non-native language as a funny gag at the expense of their intelligence - not even just in fiction! Making fun of non-native English-speakers for their broken English is so fucking common and normalized - and here you have such a clear and simple portrayal that, no, in fact, Kuro isn't stupid.

And the thing is, common is common for a reason, right. In general high fantasy, "Common" means "Language that is effortless for everyone to speak". But in Dunmeshi, it's explicit that Kobolds can't fully learn Common - Common is designed for Humans, but Kobolds are demi-humans with different mouths and throats that don't allow them to enunciate in the same way.

And yet Kuro is doing his best to study it. He's going out of his way to master a skill most others don't even have to think about. Speaking of which ...

We get this exchange between him and Kabru, which I also wanted to focus on.

Because when we first see Kuro, then portrayed as a simple-minded dummy, it's easy to think that Mickbell is taking advantage of him and Kuro is unaware. Here, Kabru even assumes they can't truly be friends unless they speak the same language perfectly.

But that's not really the case - Mickbell isn't taking advantage of Kuro, not in the way we (and the rest of the party) assume - because Kuro isn't as stupid as we assume. He's thankful to Mickbell, he wants to repay him, and the food is a nice perk - but ultimately he cares about Mickbell enough to put this much effort into learning a whole language for him (while Mickbell cares about him in his own way, though since Mickbell grew up without a family or friends, it usually just manifest in over protectiveness and a fear of losing him. His goal in life is to buy a house for them to live in together. Cmon.)

I think generalising Kuro and Mickbell's relationship as unhealthy (whether you perceive it as romantic or not) is doing a massive disservice to Kuro's intelligence due to his speech - something Kui goes out of the way to disprove.

I love these idiots.

DunMeshi Incorrect quotes#11 LEARN YOU IDIOT-

Kabru: Yesterday, I watched Y/n try to eat a decorative rock from a potted plant, Mickbell caught them and told them they can't eat rocks..Y/n started whining something about no food being in the house before walking away...

Shuro:...Why do you come to me about your love life?

Kabru*With a smile and blank stare* To show you how a healthy romantic relationship works, in our culture my friend

Kabru Translation: I wanna show off to you an inept moron how romantic relationship actually works, Not whatever the hell you tried to pull on the touden sister you creep-

mickbell is bigender but in a very "whatevers easiest" way.

girls bathroom is cleaner? yeah, she's a girl. guys clothes are cheaper and have better pockets? he's going right for those. inn requires opposite genders to have separate rooms? he's a guy and he's not about to sleep apart from kuro. ladies get free drinks on weekends? hell yeah she's going for it.

you ask mickbell if he's a boy or a girl and he asks if one gets a discount at the tavern. ask about her AGAB and she picks her teeth and looks at you unimpressedly. this is my belief.
