Dungeon Meshi rewatch ep 9 notes
the ex party member's name is Namari (did not retain that on my first watch but then again, that's what the rewatch is for)
Marcille resents her for "abandoning" the party bc they couldn't pay her
Mr. and Mrs. Tansu are the elderly couple who employed her after she left the party (wow it's only been a week and I feel so much has happened already)
Kaka and Kiki are the twins they adopted (it comes up later in the ep if I'm not mistaken) (actually I think it's from the manga extra @eelo sent us in chat)
they're "personal scholars" so I guess they do research in the dungeon on behalf of someone?
ahhh grumpy old man says Marcille angered the water spirit (Undine) so I guess pouring boiling water in the lake did trigger it, wasn't a coincidence oopsie
they're gnomes ok noted
grumpy mcpants tries to calm down the water spirit (bc gnomes and spirits are homies)
LOL I forgot he uses Namari as a shield
AH RIGHT the resurrection thing only works within the dungeon, right? I'm a clown
but Senshi actually does mind the resurrection thing, which same really. it would freak me out a lil I think
ah so here we get some info on how/why resurrection works in the dungeon: the soul is bound to the body within the dungeon so no matter how damaged the body is, the soul won't leave
grumpy pants says it's not so much the dead coming back to life, as it is death being forbidden in the dungeon - which is a curse
grumpy pants and fam research such ancient curses and he's come to investigate a magical circle in the area (what is a magical circle? is that the thing Marcille does later when she resurrects Falin?)
Namari finds Laois' sword creepy (she thinks it's the same one as before but it's actually gotten creeper lol)
do gnomes dislike Elves too? they sure are unpopular heh why?
Namari seems to be the weapons expert, chastising everyone for not tending to their weapons properly
Kensuke reacts to a nearby monster, good boy Kensuke
SENSHI WITHOUT HIS HELMET HUMANA HUMANA HUMANA ijfifpafjpaof
lol the tentacle vine banana stuck in Senshi's hand
okay the Undine is pretty interesting - collection of tiny spirits that only live a week each, pretty cool
a return spell is a thing that can be done ig
I don't dislike Namari but I'm not a fan of her tbh
now it's revealed that Senshi's cooking pot is made out of adamant, a really powerful/resistant material (he's becoming more and more sus bc he knew of the dungeon before everyone else, and now this "family heirloom" shield turned pot that's made out of some epic rare material… I've got my 👀 on you Senshi boy)
why do I feel like there is some important lore there in his backstory… was he supposed to be something but only wanted to live a simple life of cooking monsters so he ran away to the dungeon? are we gonna meet his fam later on? hmmmmm probably not bc nothing in this anime is predictable hahaha
Namari to the rescue! she and Senshi bag the Undine (which Marcille eats to recover her powers)
ah, the final ex member of the party is mentioned: Shuro (who was so in love with Falin he wanted to propose but didn't go with them after she got eaten which ??? raises some questions)
Namari says he's probably still searching for her but like, why not with the rest of them?
random screengrabs:
poor Kensuke lol

⁺˚⋆｡°✩₊ Weekly Bravern Madness Post ₊✩°｡⋆˚⁺
Episode 11 Spoilers ahead, naturally
I'm actually on my second watch since we found out our water heater is leaking so that was a whole thing so not quite first impressions but that's literally me screencapping every scene and screaming so probably better this way
Okay important things about me to consider for my lens as I go through this
I think Isami is so so so cute. I'll probably make a cute Isami screencaps post as a separate thing. His gap moe is so cute. I love his stern face. I think Smith is great too but I love the focus reshifting to Isami. Anyway. He's so cute
In terms of Smith as Bravern I guess I view it as the reverse too? I don't really know how to explain it but I guess in Japanese there's tags for Smith + Isami (Sumiisa) and Bravern + Isami (Braisa?) and in my head it's all Sumiisa. Like he may look like a giant robot but he's still Smith, if that makes sense.
Second watch bonuses: realizing why she reacts this way at his mention ;-;
Right away, I guess I got my beach episode! I love that Isami and Lulu have Bravern brand summer clothes. I hope they come out as merch. It comes up rarely eg. the boxing shoes from ep 5 have the (Burn?) Bravern specific emblem on them and I just think it's so cute. Like yeah Bravern probably printed them just for these instances and I wish we got enough show to see it in action.
I actually got so emotional at the end of episode 9 when the OP starts playing without the lyrics and this showing up with the ED music is phenomenal. Extra delicious that it starts with part of the full version of the ED that's not in the normal ending.
I also love this because the other two emotional moments where it's like, starting something but not completing it are the after boxing scene and when Isami is crying into Lewis' shirt (okay this can easily be assumed to fill out as "I wanted the two of us to save the world together" but what else did you want to do with hiiiiim). The shipper mind wants to fill it in with some love confession and then!!!
After the like, back and forth name stuff (which parallels the Lulu + Superbia fusion) I was like, pre-emptively bracing for some kind of goofy baiting/played for laughs thing but no he goes for it!!
I actually have a collection of any instance of Isami with any amount of coloring on his cheeks and I've been lamenting that the only full blush moments are when he gets the asian flush drinking but aaaaah so cute. Also he looks so young here! He's 24 he should be falling in love!
Also I'm like, actually really impressed about this scene technically because It's just a really good looking turnaround animation. With Bravern he's 3D so whatever but isami looks good from every angle!
The artist who adds the extra effects like bloom and color tweaks on scenes occasionally tweets out their before and afters and I really hope we get this scene where they point out they added plush, kissable lips onto Bravern.
I reblogged a post about it but I do really love that Isami isn't like, disgusted or pushing him away or anything. Not even grateful Lulu interrupted it. Maybe he's actually disappointed she interrupted.
I know it sets ups the symbolic washing away of it but in case there was any ambiguity to the nature of this love:
There's some discussion across japanese twitter about how you're not supposed to do some line in the middle but based on some cursory stuff I'm not sure how common that thought process is. Also Bravern isn't that much of a pro in Japanese culture (even a lot of JP twitter was confused at his proud "This is OMIAI!").
If you aren't involved in Twitter, a comment people like to point out is that they specifically hired a Food Coordinator for this episode lol. I took a bunch of caps of it but between this and Isami's "we need to eat to be strong enough to save everyone" talk I need to do my Dunmeshi + Bravern food as strength and love post.
Anyway I'm obsessed with the fact that Bravern doesn't need to eat but actually has a mouth which reminds me of this tweet my sister brought to me
Naturally, his mouth is for kissing, Among other things.
Okay honestly the food bit is so weird I was kind of worried the entire first half of the episode turns out to be a dream sequence.
I need to set this as my desktop background or something. I think it's really cute that they added/implied that Isami and Bravern are now a cutesy couple rather than Isami being all weird about the love confession.
THIS! Is the point in the post I realize that watching while typing these up leads to me just doing a play by play which isn't really much of anything. I promise the rest of the post isn't just as long even though we're only halfway through the episode.
(Hey, timeskip OP here. This might be a lie)
Lulu + Superbia symbol! It's cute and has a really nice mix of being similar but opposite in it's own way.
I am obsessed with Segnitas being too lazy to fight and honestly I think he's so cute. The interrupting the fusion is kinda expected for a a show with every bit being in universe but it's still a good gag. I'm glad he is around to make commentary until his true death.
I kind of expected the Bravern + Superbia fight to be an episode 2 thing but I guess we won't have the time for that given the end of this episode. Triple shoutout to my Wednesday post by having the "You can get fulfillment from living!", seeing a callback to Lulu's kick and basically having an awesome fight.
Okay ending time. I have a lot of thoughts but one of the ones as I was watching was just.. He can't eat but he can bleed (and cry)? Actually considering that he explodes it's probably oil or something. Like obvs he isn't going to explode into purple triangles like everyone else but oofda. I am all sorts of sad about this but one thing that gets me is that Bravern doesn't even die fighting! It was a stealth attack!
There's some theories that Isami has a change of heart too fast and this might be another time loop, which I think would be on brand but man his reaction to Bravern dying is too much there's at least no way it's because of a Bravern dying bad end. Actually, I wonder if the damage to Bravern's core is worse than we can tell? Lulu bad end looks way worse though. Or maybe hypothetical Isami time travel route is -> they don't fight Superbia -> defeat one more death drive -> Superbia realizes he doesn't get his warrior death -> he takes on the last Deathdrive 1v1, dies -> remaining DD dies somehow but Superbia is still gone -> Isami goes back to save him for Lulu (they can't risk double time looping her?) -> doesn't ever experience Bravern dying so this is new and terrible.
In this case, Ira is acting unpredictably specifically because they do the no-kill route with Superbia. He's evidently super disgusted and I wonder if it's because its the peaceful resolution between the two? Otherwise I'm curious why else. Actually in general I'm curious why everyone is so personal with Bravern but I think we've all been asking that.
I think some people mentioned it on Twitter but Lulu very casually mentions her time travel lived experiences so it would be weird if they didn't know Bravern himself enabled it. Like I mentioned in my other post. He literally can't take on two giant mechs without Bravern and he knows for sure Superbia can't take on someone.
It's interesting that Bravern has different final words in this timeline than Lulu bad end but he also probably never had that stargazing scene in that route. Actually, you know what, I think Lulu bad end he does know it's Lulu because I don't think Isami was there for the specific curry scene we saw. He's still crying, naked in Bravern during that. Unless he just talks about Japanese curry all the time where we don't see.
Smith's last words are specifically "Brave Bang" (yuuki bakuhatsu) vs Bravern's "Brave Burn" and I'm basically Pepe Silvia-ing it up trying to figure out what it means. It's not really a direct confession about being Smith (because he's still a coward in that regard) but maybe it's a secret move/activation considering the moves are in English?
I think any kind of extra finale speculation requires its own post but that's my thoughts!
hm. Sorry. Maybe I should get into writing fanfic so you at least get something out of this
#bravern spoilers#can I use the no beta we die like fools tag on a poorly done essay#I didn't even really analyze the episode tbh#11/10 it's good thats all you need to know#the first best time to watch bravern is as its airing for the theorizing#the second best time is now
