    Why We’re IN LOVE with MARCILLE DONATO (and the MAIN CAST) of DELICIOUS IN DUNGEON

    Published on:

    Okay, it’s clear that we’re just using Marcille to bait you into reading this, but it just goes to show her pull and that Delicious in Dungeon (or Dungeon Meshi, if you prefer) has one of the amazing main casts in recent anime.

    The main reason for this is that they nearly perfected a formula that most series seem to miss nowadays—the stars of the show have flaws that aren’t superficial and embedded into their personalities and strengths that make them valuable assets to the party. The cooperation or clash of these two aspects makes their adventure exciting and believable. Let’s explore each of them.

    Delicious in Dungeon Characters – Laios Touden

    Strengths
    Laios is an exceptional warrior with both strength and skill. Not only is he a formidable leader who remains composed in challenging situations, but he is also highly intelligent and places great value on the lives of his team members. His unparalleled enthusiasm and deep interest in monsters have granted him extensive expertise in effectively managing and vanquishing them.

    Flaws
    He struggles with interacting with others and often comes across as socially inept. This makes it difficult for him to connect with people and understand their perspectives. At best, this may result in misconceptions or a lack of fondness for him, but at worst, it could cause others to doubt his sincerity and motives.

    Delicious in Dungeon Characters – Marcille Donato

    Strengths
    Definitely the breakout star of the show and easily a fan favorite, Marcille is a remarkable individual. She displays intelligence, unwavering principles, and unwavering loyalty to her friends. Her mixed heritage has endowed her with an unwavering confidence in her magical abilities. As the story unfolds, it becomes apparent that she possesses expertise in an entirely different form of magic.

    Flaws
    She can be quite uptight and struggles to handle situations that are far beyond her comfort zone. When she can’t contribute with her expertise, she may become insecure and feel the need to prove herself, even if it puts others at risk. Additionally, she can also be a bit naive.

    Delicious in Dungeon Characters – Chilchuk Tims

    Strengths
    Chilchuck is known for his shrewd and practical nature. His heightened senses play a crucial role in ensuring the party’s safety, as he uses them to avoid trouble. In addition to this, Chilchuck takes on the responsibility of serving as the party’s guide, meticulously planning their route, discovering shortcuts, and memorizing the various passages within the dungeon to lead the group effectively.

    Flaws
    He values the division between his personal life and professional responsibilities and as a result, he refrains from sharing personal details with his companions. He feels a constant sense of unease when doing his work, any mistake could endanger the party. Because of this, he doesn’t want anyone interfering with his work and gets frustrated easily when the others ignore his warnings.

    Delicious in Dungeon Characters – Senshi

    Strengths
    He is an expert in the culinary arts of preparing monster dishes. For a decade, he has diligently honed his skills in consuming monsters found in the dungeon. While tending to specific areas of the dungeon, he adheres to a philosophy of utilizing only what is necessary and replenishing what has been drawn from it.

    Flaws
    Senshi possesses a deeply ingrained traditional personality, which often causes conflicts with fellow party members due to his inflexibility. He frequently demonstrates carelessness, showing little regard for anything other than his passion for cooking. Unfortunately, this neglect extends to the maintenance of his weapons, and he tends to walk into traps despite being forewarned about them.

    These are just four of the main cast (there are two more in future episodes!). Still, the first few episodes of Dungeon Meshi already gave us a preview of how their interpersonal dynamics will create interesting problems as they venture deeper into the dungeon. Add in the monster cuisine, and the detailed dungeon exploration mechanics that are reminiscent of old-school RPGs, and Delicious in Dungeon is poised to be one of the most memorable adventures this season.

    If you’re interested in joining the party, Delicious in Dungeon is currently streaming on Netflix.
