I had never thought of that before you said it.

The demon conquered by a Seraphim, I can't believe I just now caught that. Ryoko Kui is the mangaka equivalent of Terry Pratchett, I swear to God

@@nyx7694 If you'll let me be autistic about angels for a second, Laios wouldn't be a Seraph, (the singular version of the plural Seraphim,) but a Cherub, and this specific depiction is an Ezekial Cherub. (Though his actual form is a more traditional Cherub.) Seraphim are described as many winged and with bodies of flame - especially in Ezekial, although the descriptions in Ezekial are explicitly metaphorical since they're part of a prophetic dream. However, a lot of ancient art also depicts Seraphim as particularly serpentine, likely implying that seraphim were at times inspired by foreign mythical creatures like naga and dragons. Cherubim meanwhile are described in Ezekial as having only four wings, but having having four heads of different beasts and horse hooves for feet. In ancient art, however, they are depicted as a wide variety of mythical creatures, from centaurs to pegasi to sphinxes. This is because, while Seraphim were transplants of serpentine myths, Cherubim were transplants of chimeric myths! Any creature that was a chimera of different creatures was considered a type of Cherub, with special focus on mammals mixed with people or birds. In the text, Laios Monster OC Original Character (Do NOT Steal!) is definitely closest to a Cherub. It has multiple heads, specifically four if you count the eel/serpent tail, and it also has wings and four mammalian feet. But you know who else is a Cherub? Falin! Dragon Falin is centaur shaped and has *four* feathered wings, despite those not being present in the original mix, so I think it was definitely an intentional design element on Ryoko Kui's part. The Winged Lion also somewhat represents a Cherub, as he's basically a winged sphinx. However, this element changes as the story goes on - he grows more wings to cover his body, and his shape becomes more humanoid. This is very similar to Ezekial Seraphim, implying that he's growing in power. Later on he's seen as as not a concrete creature but a mass of monsters with many eyes and wings - although this doesn't map 1:1 with any angel, the angel it most resembles are the Ophanim, also known as "many-eyed ones." An Ophan is basically angelic particle physicals; literally, since they upkeep G-d's creation on a fundamental level. While Ophanim aren't stronger than a Seraph per-say, they are notably less human and less living. The Winged Lion's original form as particles of magic most closely resembles an Ophan, making the angel theming congruent throughout his entire design process. And We can't forget the fact that he's literally a lion - do you know what level is above the Seraphim? The "Four Living Creatures" or Hayyot. These are generally recognized as Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and Uriel. And Michael is known as "The lion-headed." So an angel with a head of a lion is essentially Michael himself, the most highly regarded angel in all of mythology. The other demon forms aren't super angelic, tbh. They very much match up with ancient depictions of demons, however. And when Winged Lion grows horns, he also resembles demonic art. This is where the Jewish elements stop and the Christian elements kick in, since Christianity has more artistic depictions of demons due to their increased cultural relevance. The relevance in question is that in Christianity, demons are fallen angels. And the demons are literally particles that fell to Earth and were corrupted by life outside of a paradise of endless pleasure in the sky. And the demon then spends all of its time trying to rise out of an underground trap of monsters in order to reach the sky again, so it can connect to paradise. The Winged Lion isn't just an angel, but a fallen angel that wants to reach Heaven. Anyway, these are my Dungeon Meshi angel facts.

@@normal6483 don't apologize, you're absolutely right, and thank you for sharing your autism with me. I still stand by the Pratchett comparison tho

@@normal6483 No please, be autistic more. I'm fascinated.

His name is actually Thistle but the official manga eng translation team mistranslated it then refuse to admit their own mistake. They even went as far as changing Thistle info page, that have his name spell out in english by Ryoko Kui, from Thistle to sissel.

@@user-ye1hi2ci3v Ah ok

Shouldn’t senshi’s backstory make it into this season? We’re getting quite close.

@@1mikeap4 I hope so

​@@user-ye1hi2ci3vAh ok

it's not his fault that he learned from us mortals and the cravings that drive our survival!! to eat is the privilege of the living after all, and what's more privileged in that sense than an immortal? (thank youuu)

It's only natural

0:03

Ah dungeon meshi

to be fair his power is direclty linked to human emotions like warp demon he is that powerfull becasue we given him that power

Him talking to you is basically him cooking you up.

For me tough. Winged lion is some sort of God in dungeon meshi, the problem is he has a desire. Because he also the reason they have elves, dwarf, etc.

​@@01-aleriorayyaarifaisal91 care to provide a source on that? Cause I read both the manga and the world building side book and I don't remember anything about the winged lion creating the dwarves and elves. If anything they most likely predate it's existance as an active force in the world. As a matter of fact if my recollection of the lore is correct it suggests that if anything they created it by trying to tap into the realm of infinity.

@@RyugaruSenbi during winged lion back story. There a person who wish his people have long life span and the orther wish for something else. So i just assume that the people who wish for long life span is ancestor di elves.

@@01-aleriorayyaarifaisal91 okay but that is at best speculation. You talked about it creating them like it's a fact.

That's quite the misunderstanding, you see elves and dwarfs knows about the nature of mana and the dungeon but only with bit and bit of scattered history by their predecessors like for example they thought that the dungeon came first before the demon while the truth is the opposite of that but what do they know is that the demon is an aspect of mana magic system and is crucial to it so they don't want to lose it and sought to controls it to a degree that they can manage without em losing their mind or desires and they also refers to the demon as a wish granting magic so they maybe see the dungeon and the demon as one of many means to get their wish fulfilled granted they exercise those wish granting power with caution ofc

Elves and Dwarves, at least the authorized one, actually suppressing the knowledge about the demon/ Lion, so people not abusing the system.

A true "devil". While his infinite power already scary, his persuasion and charm is the terrifying aspect

But just like a villain as Bill Cipher, a being of inifinity made an oversight. If your a dealer, don't make a deal that'll result to your downfall

It is like Bill but i find the lion more charismatic.

@@kalpayux7712 Bill is more a trickster/troll, he basically want everything in chaos for fun. While the lion desire to consume humanity desire, which is why he always trying being nice and "friendly"

You should read Locke and Key

aaaa that's really cool to hear!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for watching

Same 😂 i just finished 2hr ago 😂 lol

What do you think about it?

Honestly, same. spent a whole night reading it in it's entirety.

Well, hunger is desire

Idk if I’m reading too much into it but the Winged Lion feels to me like it’s pulling from more Buddhist ides about desire, cuz in Buddhist teachings, desire is the root of suffering, and the winged lion is in a constant state of desire but never actually fulfilled

​@@scoopityboopit was based on ars goetia, but i can see your point

Basically the antichrist Aslan.

​@@scoopityboophonestly, the way TWL ate thirstle desire to resist scsred me a lot.

It doesn't use it against you, it will take everything from you. What's the point of living if you have no desire in keep going in life.

ACCIDENTALLY SPILLS EVERYTHING

Inwonder what sexy voice will it have.

@@kalpayux7712 probably deep like aurelion sol. If you heard him

…That’s a lion?????

@@someoneunknown7655 Yeah, and he has some sexy in him. Which is part of the creepy factor.

It really does, I couldn't resist making this after I heard it. Thank you for watching!

it’s been going crazy since the anime started airing hahaha. really never expected it to take off this much, i mostly made it to scratch the itch in my own brain thank you for watching!!

thank you!! glad you enjoyed

A mí me pasó por un amv de otro autor xD luego dije no tengo que verme el primer cap (si me decepcionó un poco) pero aún así gracias a las ediciones de otras persoans estoy llevándome la serie y su humor xD

Also, Laios defeat the Lion by eating his desire to eat. "Devourer of all things horrible" is not close enough to describe the feat

@@hafirenggayuda so he out-eats the eater, nice

Its not a cooking show, its an eating show

thank you!! i’m a little old fashioned when it comes to editing style, but i put a lot of thought into panel/scene choice and how they interact with/enhance/reinterpret the lyrics they’re paired with. bringing new meaning to both the song and the story/art/characters is my favorite aspect of amvs :) thank you for watching & commenting ❤

thank you!!

Thank you so much!! Dungeon Meshi has so many beautiful (and silly, and creepy) panels to choose from, it was a joy going through them and planning out how to connect them through the song

the spoiler warning is not a joke lmao, almost none of this is even gonna be touched in the first season. consider this video manga propaganda hehehe :) it has even more jokes, monster tidbits, worldbuilding, and incredible art than the anime has time to cover, 100% worth the read if you’re enjoying the show!

I absolutly want to i think i will go to buy the manga sadly i didnt found the scans in my language

thank you!! it was fun to make, i’m glad you enjoyed it :)

there's certainly a bit of fear and a lot of hunger in the meshi

For everything there's two sides

Eating is a priveleged for the living.

@@neutralplayeroflol5722 yeah yeah I know, but the manga enphatize so much that concept that in the final arc with the lion its even disgusting

I know what you mean, but the art looks so amazing. The one-page spread of Laios eating the Lion looks straight out of some renaissance painting. Reminds me of "Saturn devouring his son" painting.

@@sargentuniverse2254 what no it doesn't if anything it's disturbing and that's what you call horror

a completely normal story with completely normal fans, truly

i don’t know most of the flashier editing tricks and techniques lol. from what i’ve researched though, a lot of things are pretty time intensive (doable for a 30 second edit, less so for a 3 minute song when you have a day job and other hobbies lmao), require paid programs, and/or just don’t suit the vibe i prefer. i know it’s a little old fashioned in the era of hyper-energetic fully animated tiktok edits, but i like to focus primarily on using the lyrics and panel choices to enhance and reinterpret each other, with editing to just kinda support that goal rather than stand out on its own. hope you enjoyed regardless, thanks for watching!

No, read the manga

This "lion" is like Bill Cipher

@@hieutruong7456 nah dont want to is not in my language

​​@@helioslegigantosaure6939It's in english.

​@@helioslegigantosaure6939Dude, the manga already ended and it was released and translated in many languages including English. Now, it's only up to you where to find it and read it.

Incluso en el infierno se trata de comer o ser comido

Eating ...is a privilege of the leaving.

Read it~~ everything goes full circle

hunger... to eat is the privlige of the living.

Total satisfaction...is impossible

Só quem leu o mangá todo vai entender o contexto da musica

@@elielalves3357 Tô lendo e ainda não entendi, não dá nem pra pegar spoiler pq parece outra obra

@@Rudanthy Se vc não terminou ainda relaxa pq é lá pro final que vc pega o contexto kkk só posso dizer q a música fala do apetite de um leão de forma sensual e é bem similar ao "leão" que tem na história...
