As it Turns out, Kabru is a Freak. | Delicious in Dungeon Episode 14 Breakdown

Kabru, after killing 5 people without hesitation or mercy: This laios guy is so weird because he gave money to people, he's so weird😒

I like the fact that Laios come off as creepy at first and then you see that he is a nice guy later, as Kabru is the opposite, at first he seems like a naive adventure and then you see him and his party killing without mercy.

Kabru being able to fight people but not Monsters making him the polar opposite to Laios is really funny and makes him an interesting foil. He and his party cannot survive the same way the OG party can which keeps us 1 step ahead of him.

Mickbell being a scab will never not being funny

The first time I saw Kabru starting to psychoanalyze Laios' party, I was like: "Bro you got into a wrong job! You should be a politician or something, not a dungeon crawler" Kabru is way out of his depth here.

Chil being the middle-aged union tradie despite looking the youngest is actually so funny to me Edit: Actually, he's not just a tradie, he's the half-foot union rep to the entire dungeon - that's even funnier

5:57 it's also the track that plays when they assembled Falin 💀

I love how Kabru and Shuro have this distaste for Laios (GET IT?!) stemming from him being socially awkward (possibly on the autism spectrum) but he's not only the best qualified to handle the dungeon, but also has the moral qualities neither of the people he just wants to be friends with either can't or won't see. They're trying to either play 4D chest or have this rivalry with a guy who just wants to show you this cool bug he found and he's sorry that it creeps you out but he's trying his best!

I was NOT ready for Kabru to be as scary as he is

I never really understood Kabru's distaste for the Toudens until watching it adapted here... he's not saying they're unfit to rule the dungeon simply because they gave money to shady people; he takes umbrage in the fact that they never interrogated the motives of the people they gave the money to, noticed they were exploiting them, and stopped. He sees someone who would be naive enough to overlook bad actors like that as unfit to rule... Time will tell how his opinion holds up after actually meeting Laios (I know I'm just being cryptic)

kabru's so fuckin cold here and it's the moment that made me love the man lol

I smiled all the way through the episode, because as a long-time D&D master, I can assure you the dialogue in the Kabru's team mimics what can happen with a player's group if you focus not so much on the dungeon crawling, but on the world building. You, as the master, have the full story under your eyes - you know the beats, the characters, their motivations. Meanwhile the players are left guessing with the information they have, and they can misinterpret or misremember things - thus giving birth to entirely new narrative possibilities. One of my most hilarious memories are of a team of players that were introduced to a party of NPCs that were supposed to become their allies. Except, one of the players was unusually aggressive towards them, kept assuming the worst of their every move and words, and kept making cutting remarks and veiled threats to the other team's leader. Long story short, I decided to let the story unravel naturally, and what was supposed to be an alliance became a fierce rivalry - the two groups almost wiped each other out, before coming to an unsteady truce. I think one of the best masters' abilities is to draw inspiration from the players, and to railroad them as little as possible.

I find it funny that Kabru thinks Laios is sus when he’s over there literally analyzing the best way to take you down. He’s like if Laios was interested in people instead of monsters… Kabru is like the dark mirror to Laios. They’re so similar (they’re both hunters) that Laios creeps Kabru out (because he recognizes the hunter in Laios), but Laios is blind to human desires and is therefore blind to the threat that Kabru poses. On the other hand, Kabru is very attuned to the danger from humans, he is woefully unprepared to face monsters… their mannerisms and attack patterns are too alien to him.

5:44 This possible decision of not saturating the meat might be because A-It’s pretty normal meat you could buy, nothing extraordinary compared to the meals of our main party B-Because the food is like that, saturated and really red meat could indicate freshness, this is just salted meat that lost that fresh factor

Kabru is just a different flavor or neurodivergent than Laios, which is why they end being hilarious when put together

I love Kabru's entire character arc and backstory so much, and how good he is as a foil to Laios. But I'm dying because it's such a case of Supplemental Material Bonus and we're probably not gonna get much more than the basic Utaya explanation in the anime. Which also means we're never going to get Laios being like "hmm, you DO kinda look like a wasp (genuine compliment)" in the anime, which is a damn shame.

Its so nice that you post these as far away between episodes as possible so that we could snack on your vids while waiting. Keep up the great work mate!

"Dungeon to Table Cuisine" is a wonderful turn of phrase .

genuinely cannot wait for the episode after this week’s, when kabru finally meets laios. he’s PEAK crazy there in the manga, i hope they make his ass even crazier in the anime. i love it the most when he gets to be a little creep

The way the Anime sets up Kabru as this sort of imposing threat unsure if he’s going to be just a foil or an antagonist to Laios’s party is a real tensioner for me
