I am late to the party on this episode, but it was a fun one. I think my two favorite bits were both Laios-focused. First there was Laios literally scaring away a pack of wolves through his dog impression. Then there was Laios being a ~~little~~ lot too interested in the anatomy of Izutsumi.
The inclusion of Izutsumi into the OP and ED was nice and is a good indication that she will remain a core part of the group going forward. I do think that, even if she doesn't care about the others at all, her actions were a bit reckless this episode. I mean, even if she hated the others, she has to recognize that, this deep in the dungeon, sticking with other (kinda?) capable adventurers raises her chances of survival as compared to wandering around on her own. I mean, even look to the ice golem fight during this episode as an example.
The sheep plant monster is weird...I kinda think I would have stayed away from that one. I trust you Senshi, but I don't know about that. Give me a candied Mandrake any day of the week over a plant that grows fully formed sheep that taste like crab. That just has God's mistake written all over it.
The "Sheep growing on a plant" thing is a real historical legend https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable_Lamb_of_Tartary
Wow, TIL! I hadn't heard of this one before. It reminds me of the Headless Men myths of antiquity. Thanks for the info!
The medieval people were on some weird shit, man. LSD is a famous thing that comes from moldy rye, but without refrigeration and science-based medicine, who knows what people were ingesting back then?
Funny you should mention god, and his intentions concerning the creatures of the dungeon...
Izutsumi is 17. She's not quite a kid anymore... But she's a kid. And Maizuru clearly never bothered treating her as more than a vaguely human creature.
Maizuru might have done well enough with Shuro, but she clearly didn't put the same effort into her "pet" as she did her "waka-sama".
When it comes to people to be around. Ones that value good communication, co-operation, and honest interaction (unlike a certain Kabru), Izu could not have lucked out harder on a group to end up with.
Izu has been "taken care of" her whole life, but never by people who concern themselves with who she is and where she is going, the way Laios' gang does.
I love the way they dealt with Izu scratching up Laios' face. Marcille comments that it's horrible, but none of them so much as hint at being vindictive about it. You can just tell that among the Nakamotos, that would have meant corporeal punishment.
But here, no-one stares daggers at her, or tells her she's a bad person. The only one giving Izu any crap is Chilchuck, and he apologized for it.
