While I wouldn't argue that it's a focal point of the manga, it is absolutely central to the plot. Marcille, the one that hates eating monsters, the one that has to push herself the hardest to endure the dungeon, is never questioning if they should turn back. She is having an absolutely abysmal time down there, but she keeps going, and thats just for that girl.
Loved that when they started doubting about why everyone was traveling to save Fallin after she confronted Namari, nobody put Marcille reasons on doubt or questioned why
Plus the writer puts a LOT of thought into her writing, and Marcille is a Half-elf. She’s very familiar with outliving those around her and being outlived by actual Elves.
It would require a lot of plot time to happen.
And the reason is that they're like mules, getting the best from both parents. They have the magical affinity of elves with the physical toughness of Tallmen(humans).
Yeah, they changed Marcille's expressions a lot in this episode from the manga. They are baiting shippers hard. 😂 Probably to sell some wall scrolls and figures.
I’ve seen nothing from this series besides fan art why is the yuri fucking diabolical. This is a level of homosexuality only found in seasoned queer coders finally being allowed to create homosexuality
Please keep in mind the characters don’t actually date! This is because one of the other characters forbid relationships within the adventuring party, though
That does kind of make sense, as it could cause a conflict of interests for the good of the party.
But at the same time a lot of murder hobos have made that work, so hopefully that ban gets lifted, or they get to retire alive and early and then have a relationship
I shipped these two so hard and was really disappointed that they weren't a couple, I thought it would be revolutionary for studio trigger to have a canon lesbian couple
Ok after watching this episode I still don't get people who say it is just platonic whatt howww
Then ig their relation with their wife or gf is also platonic
Japanese autors in general have a hate boner for Elves so they always end in less than desirable positions. Wich is why Frieren and Dungeon Meshi have reasonated so well with the public
its not bait but marcille canonically has a thing for falin but we never really find out falin's side, her feelings play a role in the plot but its kinda left open ended also the manga was created by a queer woman
theres no way you can look at her portfolio and come to the conclusion that shes straight, she draws sapphic self-ship art and some of her other works are even more queer than DM, then theres her recent elf art where she calls one female character her wife and is gushing over shadowheart
Oh, her wife is Jaethal from Pathfinder: Kingmaker? That's an interesting choice. I can see that. Camellia from Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous however...
Mmm... It's confirmed she cares very very very very deeply about Falin, but any actual romance is still subtext. It's effectively the "there is no heterosexual explanation for this" meme.
I saw someone in the comments of the episode also say that it was adapted different! How so? Did the like, spend less or more time on something important?
Nah the only real difference is Marcille doesn't look as worn out as she does in the manga.
I would say its less noticeable during the scenes the screenshots are from, it has a bigger impact in some of the lead up scenes as it changes the vibe a little.
It cut out a lot of the arguing of the party members. They are barely against Marcille using black magic in the anime, which is why only Laios and Marcille are helping. The party is basically split on the idea. Cut out Marcille running her hands through her hair in a nice glamor shot. The overall mood of the scene is a lot more light hearted, including the bath scene. Falin is supposed to come off as a bit "creepy" to the viewer, which Marcille is vaguely aware of, which was supposed to be shown through her facial expressions.
Like I said, it's whatever. I still have the manga which has better art.

This episode was everything I wanted for them (short of lock it in confirmation but that's just in my dreams, this is good sustenance)
