Delicious In Dungeon Episode 6 Review and Recap – A New World Inside Paintings

Delicious In Dungeon Episode 6 Review Chilchuck's Worst Day Ever

The episode starts with a legitimate concern from Senshi, which even I was wondering all this time. It has been 2 to 3 episodes, and Laios’s group has still not managed to exit the third floor. They are taking too much time, and hence, food supplies are dwindling for them.

Their last meal has been insect snacks, and it couldn’t possibly fill them for a long time. So even though Laios wants to rest, Senshi tells him to get moving to find food resources as soon as possible. This is when they enter a chamber full of paintings. And these paintings can transport you to their world. 

Once you get sucked in, you cannot get outside without someone’s help, and you might get trapped there forever. What is interesting about these is that they have a fully functioning world inside, carrying memories, possibly of the royal family that used to live in the palace many years ago, before they got cursed. 

When Laios was inside these paintings, we saw the life of Prince Delgal unfold, from his birth to his becoming a king. That’s not all, Laios even gets recognized by an elf inside this world, for being an outsider. I suspect this character will be important later on.

But it was not just Laios who went on adventures in this episode, Chilchuck also experienced his fair share of thrill, something he did not appreciate at all.

This anime is slowly becoming more and more interesting for being an odd mixture of grim, fun, and adventure. You never know what might happen inside the dungeon, and our characters are constantly at the mercy of fate with all the traps that are laid around. Plus, you also feel a sense of intrigue regarding what might have happened to the original inhabitants of the palace.

Laios and others are only on the third floor, and already, we have seen a fair share of odd creatures that can kill humans immediately. I can only imagine how dangerous the threats can be at the next level, which they might finally enter in the 7th episode.

Verdict

This was one of my most liked episodes because I did not expect I would get a glimpse at the people who used to live in the palace. That part really made me curious about the curse and the history of its people. Now, I’m looking forward to Laios going to the 4th floor and discovering a new world there.
