Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka II Episode 8 Discussion

Man they left out so much stuff this episode in regards to Mikoto, it's actually kind of disappointing. This episode felt super rushed to me as a result. They didn't go over how her god taught her Ninja training before this. They didn't show her escaping from her cell having to make make-shift clothes and finally donning the ninja mask. They didn't show her finding the hestia knife and explaining that her ability worked on it, because white crow tells her where allies are, while black crow tells her where enemies are, and she realized that bells knife was an ally because it was a living weapon, and maybe most egregious of all, HER FUCKING CROW ABILITIES AREN'T ACTIVE ABILITIES, THEY ARE PASSIVES. WHY THE HELL DOES IT SHOW HER CASTING A PASSIVE DETECTION ABILITY?!

This whole arc is supposed to be a huge character development and information arc for Mikoto, and they are skipping all of the parts that are relevant to Mikoto...

Hmmm, this arc really feels like dragging... and this was already a second time he could have snatched her away.

Dunno how everyone else feels about it but if not for Haruhime herself, everything that's happening in the last 3 episodes feels extremely boring.. Even worse - we already know she'll join their family eventually so everything in between is just needless fluff... and I say needless because the story moves nowhere, they are just getting another sidekick. The important one here is Freya and we all know it.

Also, that renard soul thing was pretty ridiculous as the one who wrote the plot obviously didn't thought out all the consequence of intrudocing such omnipotent levelboosting stone in the story and what would that mean for the world. Literally every renard would be hunted and the first moment there was a chance someone would try to steal her (those shackles are really the last problem here). And don't let me start about her being a prostitute on top of that... surely, if you have such omnipotent weapon you would try to limit access of others to it not trying to sell her regularly, increasing the danger someone would break her or even kill her (if not stealing her that is).

I don't understand the Gods' powers. We're told earlier that they have to give up their powers to live among mortals, keeping only their ability to read/level-up their familia. This is consistent with what we see in the first season. Essentially they're figureheads more than real powerhouses, with a mortal often being the actual leader of the family.

Then, in season 2 we see Freya using some type of scrying powers, Ishtar using mind control, Hestia goes full god-mode in front of a huge crowd of people...clearly they still have their powers and can use them at will.

Can someone spoil me what is Ishtar grudge against Freya? To go to this length.

I never thought I'd see the word "prostitute" in an anime. And here they are laying it on in a thick layer. Even naming the next episode War Prostitutes.

If they are such great warriors, why would they be prostitutes? When every other warrior house can make money through the dungeon or other activities? Oh, but prostitution is EXCITING for the viewers, I guess.

And despite being more than a dozen prostitutes, they are not the only ones in this town. No, aside from them there is an entire neighborhood.

Kidnapping visitors that come to the brothel district. No problem! Surely that won't scare anyone away. Neither will running through the town outside of the brothel district, with swords drawn, chasing the visitors.

But who cares. Prostitutes are sexy, and prostitutes with swords is a cool concept, right?

.

I remember when this show used to be about the dungeon. And leveling up to match the lady of the main character's dreams. As in the title.

I must say this, in some ways you aren't wrong but still you see just one side.

Some people just love sex and there's literally nothing wrong with wanting to work as prostitute, stripper, etc. only wrong side is that this job is illegal therefore often abused.

Hegar said:


"There's literally nothing wrong with working as a prostitute" - You see my comment and you put it in a box, to which the response prescribed by leftist doctrine is "there's nothing wrong with working as...." Starting over. There's nothing wrong with going to the bathroom either. But there is a reason why shows don't show the main character sitting on a toilet. As for prostitutes it is hinted at for fun in anime, like some laughing girls blowing kisses at the main character as he walks into town, but here they are laying it on thick for no other reason than sexual titillation. As I already said, it is ridiculous that one of the most powerful houses would be working as prostitutes, a job almost every woman would be disgusted by. Whether it is "literally" (misuse of the word) not wrong or not. It is laughable - "literally" laughable - that such powerful warriors would still get money by spreading their legs or perform oral sex for the townfolk who come knocking on their doors. If you don't understand my comment on this, then you don't understand sex. I recommend having it, it brings perspective.

These powerful warriors would be fighting in the dungeon, killing monsters and get money for it, like everyone else. No need to dirty themselves and get nightmares for life. But noo, the writers needed some sex, lots of sex, to keep the viewers interested. Absent real sex scenes, this is what they can do instead.

Next: Powerful gods sweeping the floors and cleaning lavatories for gold.

bruh why couldn't the mangaka make the "toad" chick super thicc instead of Jabba. I don't get it, since it'd be the perfect balance to the athletic type amazons.
