Shuro thoughts (1201 words)

If i had to assign a term to Shuro that describes his character, it’d probably be ‘a lack of connection with others’, many of shuro’s relationships in dungeon meshi follow a similar pattern, in that they're all very neutral. He feels like he’ll constantly be in his dad’s shadow no matter what he does, leading to him not trying much, along with some resentment towards him. There’s also his relationship with Maizuru,who was one of the more positive figures in his life who he ends up blocking out as he grows older. Even his relationship with Hien is kinda. Nonexistent. They used to be quite close when they were kids, but their friendship eventually deteriorated when they grew older. 

It makes sense since the difference in status is more prevalent, but this made me think about how he reflects Laois. Even though they both have similar upbringings, with fathers who are in a leadership role which they would benefit from. Laios is still ostracized from the rest of his village, and pretty early on ends up leaving to become a soldier, where he ends up even more ostracized. It’s only when he leaves the army and goes to the island, that he becomes an adventurer and meets his party, where he finds companions who he’s on mostly friendly terms with. Despite everything he’s able to create his own life outside of his family. 

Meanwhile Shuro has presumably lived with his family up until he gets sent off on his adventure. He’s constantly in his fathers shadow, and everyone that he’s surrounded with is in some way related to his father. The retainers are all employed under his father and are more or less lended to him. Even when he leaves for the island, he’s still connected to him by the quest that he’s sent on, and his retainers that follow him. He doesn’t come to the island for himself, it’s for a competition arranged by his dad.

Another way that they’re foils is through their siblings. Laios’s relationship to Falin is incredibly important to the story. They both clearly love each other and left home to find their own path side by side. But Shuro and his siblings have a large distance between them. It’s never stated why, but I don’t think it’s made better by the whole, competition for inheritance thing. I think it’s also interesting how Laios’s adventure brings him closer to Falin. While Shuro’s takes him away from his brothers, furthering the gap between them.

Even in laios’s party, where he’s able to make connections with people not from his home, he still can’t really connect with others. Namari and Chilchuck both drink after work, Falin and Marcille are besties and all get along pretty well. They’re all comfortable enough with each other to speak their mind and jokingly riff on each other, all except for Shuro, whose relationship with them is much more like co workers. 

It’s the same in his old party. Hien and Benichidori are able to form a friendship with each other, and Tade forms a friendship with Izutsumi. But Shuro is distant from them all, to the point where him going “you guys did a good job, I’m sorry I dragged you guys down here” is enough to bring Maizuru to tears and confuse the hell out of them all. While Laios’s party criticizes him pretty openly, Shuro’s party instead just goes with what he does.

One similarity between him and Laios that I didn't really notice until now is that they both lack real friends, just for different reasons. Laios can’t find real friends because he can't read social cues or socialize well with other people, but he still tries to reach out to people even if things end up sour. Meanwhile Shuro doesn't have friends because he doesn't try to connect with other people, he's passive and only makes connections if they come to him first, ending in friendships that he’s not even happy with.

I also think it's interesting how he has a special relationship with both Touden siblings, just that one is out of love and one is out of hate 💀 Both of these relationships lead to him breaking out of his passive personality and making his own decisions instead of just moving through the motions. By falling in love with Falin, he makes the decision of finally leaving the party in order to form his own rescue team. Due to his hatred of Laios, he ends up getting into a fist fight and finally showing his true emotions and feelings. Both Touden siblings influence Shuro to make active decisions throughout the story (Proposing to Falin, leaving the party, deciding to turn marcille in, fighting Laios, etc). Even though these are bad decisions, (proposing to someone without any kind of romantic relationship first, fist fighting someone while half your party is dead), they are still him finding a voice. Both Laios and Falin make Shuro break away from what's expected and make his own path, even if it's very brief, and even if those decisions were very stupid.

Even though Shuro’s whole reason for coming to this island is the quest he’s sent on by his father, we don't really get much of that in the main manga, instead more focus is put on his relationship with Laios and Falin, (something something even narratively he finds his own path by having an arc based on his relationships instead of his quest). If he had an arc in the manga, I presume it would be around him finally understanding Laios? And eventually repairing the relationship between them and forming a real relationship (Though honestly i'm not sure about this). But nonetheless i think Shuro’s relationship with Laios does improve, even though he says he hates Laios, he also admits that he's envious of him. 

The two of them have personalities that fundamentally clash with each other while reflecting the other. Shuros passiveness and Laios' lack of observation skills basically guarantee their relationship would go south, but they do manage to pick up the pieces, after beating the shit out of each other. 

Laios and Shuro have a genuine talk where Shuro admits his envy, and even offers Laios a way to escape to the east, despite not being asked to. And in the final chapters, Shuro ends up hugging Laios with a genuine smile, despite not being comfortable with physical contact. Even though the two had a rough fight, their relationship manages to recover and become somewhat positive. 

By the end of the story, even though it's implied that Falin rejected Shuro (good for her), he's still on good terms with the Toudens. He finally makes his own decisions and speaks, and even though things got kinda ugly, he's still able to have a positive relationship with Laios and Falin, not as besties or as a married couple, but just as fellow people. He finally finds his voice and speaks up, end creates connections by the end of it. 

If anyone would like to add more to this or has points they wanna bring up please do ^^, these are just my disorganized thoughts that i finally wrote down.

#dungeon meshi #toshiro nakamoto #shuro #shuro does a lot of unlikeable things (atleast compared to other main characters) but i think that hes also got alot of depth #with his whole family and relationship situation #this is a very amatuer analysis and im not really experienced with this kind of writing? #so if this is worded weirdly then sorry ^^' #also it would be cool to see what other people think #and if i accidentally misinterperated his character 😭 #WAIT I FORGOT THE READ MORE

[batneko]

for the last couple days I've been thinking about a Dungeon Meshi AU with the girl version of Laios from the magic mirror bonus page. Like, let's say she got married at 16, and ten years and two kids later she's escorting her youngest to magic school and planning to visit with Falin for a couple days before heading home. She finds out Falin and Marcille (I can't decide if everybody should be gender-swapped or only Laios. If Falin is The Boy he'd probably be expected to become village chief despite having creepy ghost magic, but maybe Laios's husband turned out to be a good leader so there's an unspoken "if Falin doesn't come back would that really be so bad?" among the villagers. But if Falin and Marcille are still girls that could lead to some interesting Deconstructing Gender Norms stuff. I just don't know!) have been planning to go to The Island and study a real dungeon, and instantly flips from quiet and demure (masking HARD) to excited and full of energy, and Marcille asks why Laios doesn't just come along. It'll only be a few months, both kids are in boarding schools, won't her husband understand?

The answer to that is no, but Laios has been dreading going back home for exactly the reason that it'll just be her and her husband now, no more kids as a buffer. She'll have nothing to do but take care of the house and be a Good Wife. Her husband isn't a bad person, but he's never understood her and never bothered to try, he just gets frustrated that she can't remember their guests' names, that she only wants to talk about "weird" things, that she cares more about her letters from Falin than she does taking care of her appearance.

Laios lets just enough of this slip that Marcille misunderstands and thinks her husband is a brute, and Falin has always known that being a housewife didn't suit Laios at all, so neither of them argue when Laios decides to abandon her marriage with only a brief letter back home.

On the trip Laios starts to learn magic, but she turns out to take to combat even better. Her encyclopedic (literally, it all comes from encyclopedias) knowledge of monster anatomy means she'll have the best chance out of the three of them at physically fighting things off if they can't find a trustworthy fighter to hire. But overall she's responsible for organizing their supplies and planning the expeditions. Having experience running a household comes in handy!

Of course, the three of them are pretty naive, and they run through Marcille's savings faster than expected, but they're all so interested in the dungeon that they're willing to stick out the tough times. Laios is so happy to finally be able to Be Herself around people that she starts talking about cooking and eating monsters without realizing that's a step too far for most folks. Falin is, of course, completely supportive, but Marcille and Namari shut it down most of the time. (I'm not sure where Shuro is or if he should be gender-swapped as well. Chilchuck wouldn't join the party until they've become successful enough to pay his rates. If he's gender-swapped this is her way of dealing with an empty nest.) However one day Senshi happens to overhear Laois talking about it while they pass each other and they become fast friends. Marcille isn't sure if s/he wants Laios's obsession with monsters-as-food to continue, but can't resist encouraging this because forbidden love affairs are peak romance. But no they're genuinely just friends and the thought never crosses either of their minds.

Marcille has no idea Laios has actually already had a couple of extramaritals with orc men.

(that's all I got so far!)

#I'm not sure about Kabru either. should he be a man and try to flirt with Laios and be baffled when it sails over her head? #or a woman and try to initiate a Gal Pals relationship with Laios which ALSO sails over her head #at least until Kabru learns about the monster thing and expresses interest then ohhhh no you're stuck with her now Kabru what have you done #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #dungeon meshi au #genderswap au #laios touden #falin touden #marcille donato

Saw ur Toshiro post, and I absolutely agree that Toshiro's outburst will be a stepping stone for both um an Laios to grow and that the buildup was because Shuro didn't want to ruin situation he was still trying to figure out. But the funniest thing is, afaik, Laios and Falin are *also Foreigners* for quite far away. Their country is simply Scandinavian/northern Europe themed. I don't think we see any long-lived races in their flash backs (baring the dead man buying a ring of elves?). And both Falin and Laois definitly are the equivalent of nobility/Local chiefs kids. But instead of being send out with all their assistants and guards, Laios ran away and suffered in the army and then on his own in a caravan , and Falin was send to a Magial School full of other races and people. They both had time to 'adjust' to the wider world (and still carry a bit of home-grown uh...prejudice (mountain people)). So when they met Shuro both of them were well used to meeting people not from their Country. Toshiro not being either from the tiny Island or the nearby lands simply didn't mesh with how they had adapted to behave. Plus, obviously, Laios textual Autism. But I feel like Laios could totally have figured it out if he had met people from Shuros island before who would have told him, he does after all know how to behave around Dwarves and such, who also have quite diffrent culturual norms. Sorry for the ramble xD Good Toshiro post!

Hi hi! I’m really glad you’re adding onto my silly brain thoughts hehe - I’m super happy to hear yours, especially since they make me think more! Warning this is going to be long, talking about dungeon meshi is just a lot of fun.

When I said foreigner, I should have clarified that that I meant he’s a stranger to the CULTURE. A good chunk of the people in the island are not native to it! But culturally, they have the social background to fit in. They didn’t all come from the same place, yes, but they grew up in European-esque cultures and interacted to some extent with other races. Even Kabru and Rin are not foreign to this type of culture because they grew up with Western/European socialization.

Gonna elaborate bc I think it’s fascinating: From what we know about the Eastern islands, the worldview is very very different. In the Adventurer’s Bible where Kabru talks to Hien, they talk about how the East defines “humans” as “tallmen”, and oni/ogres were the only “other”. In the post-canon snippet where Toshiro talks to Falin, he even refers to Eastern thinking as “backward” due to the lack of long-lived races. Because of his delayed exposure to other races, and because the worldview is far more different than the one the Toudens experienced, that’s where I make the statement that he had more to adjust to.

I’ll also note, the fact that the Toudens are subjectively more adjusted to seeing and accommodating other races makes Laios’ statement that Toshiro “had an odd appearance” an even more bizarre thing to say. And although we can assume Toshiro also has his biases, we don’t see them highlighted like other characters have had (to my knowledge). So it makes it seem like he was more thoughtful/careful towards other races from the get-go, despite his lack of knowledge. His main issues were always with other tallmen, just like Laios.

It’s good to point out that the Toudens are outcasts in their own right. Both of them went through a really hard time, and it changed them. Laios’ cycle of failures and giving up and being bullied are especially important to characterizing his relationship with his sister and his disinterest in humanity and lack of close friends. Falin at least had Marcille. Both Laios and Toshiro have reasons they’re inexperienced in friendship, but one of them stated it in the story and the other didn’t. There’s more misconception about Toshiro’s character than Laios’. So my post was to talk about that one a bit.

ALSO OOO I COMPLETELY FORGOT but I WAS going to mention how both the Toudens and Toshiro came from families of influence! Thank you for bringing it up! Laios and Toshiro diverge from that upbringing, while making Toshiro and Falin a little more similar. This goes into another whole thing where Laios and Toshiro parallel (and foils?) each other but that’s too long of a discussion. Just as long is how this divergence distinguishes the Touden siblings (too many people have said their only difference is gender..)

Lastly, yes, Laios does need more exposure to Eastern people and Eastern culture to get a grasp on it. He really wants to learn! It’s just that Shuro isn’t his encyclopedia and until he gets that chance, he will make ignorant takes. I can think of two more that will occur in the main narrative alone. (but like Toshiro said, Laios has no malicious intent, that’s what makes it all the more complicated)

While there’s good conversation to be had about the fight from a ND vs NT POV, I’ve seen SO much discussion about Toshiro possibly being read as autistic too, and neurodivergent individuals who can relate to his experience. Often it comes as an intersection between both being autistic and being a poc. I think it brings even more nuance to the narrative. Plus I’m just glad there’s people who can relate to him. He’s meant to be relatable! His problem with Laios is just as much a character flaw as it is human.

Hope this post was a thoughtful response to yours, I tried to tackle everything you mentioned! Thank you sm for the ask :D

Edit: for the sake of context, here’s the og post that’s being referred to!

[collectingshuros-blog]

Whats up? yup, another tumblr blog bout my life.

So let me warn you, i dont care who reads this but its mainly for me. i get random feelings and memories of a younger me. im scared i wont be able to remember everything and i need to document whats happened and happening while theres still time. for when i am older, and have finished chosing my decisions and found an answer, to be able to remember what it was like and felt to live with multiple answers and infinite decisions unsure of the consciequences. but if your reading this, theres something u need to understand about me first and im not sure how to explain it. i am either really autistic, schizophrinic, mentally retard, extremely extremely extremely sensitive, pyscopath that cant feel emotions, or im too smart for this era or i am a 1/8 soul fragment of an angel of god, or complete accident over all and have no soul. Ive been across the world and still think the back yard is bigger, ive lived from highest standards living all the way to living in a trap with no money for food, ive been engaged, ive been to college, ive been a pusher, ive had half my family pity me while the other half resenteted me, ive talked to god, ive been to only this part is about drugs...On a mushroom trip i had while in college, i discovered something. That the thing im searching for in life is contempancy or peice. i wanted a regular good job that outweighs bills and where i come home to a wife/family that loves me everydayand spend time with them, i just want a content, static biological life. I relized that this was my soul desire and that everyone has a soul desire, whatever it may be.even if thats not what i thought i wanted at the time, it was those content melo moments in life i find myself most happy. Dont get me wrong, im one of the most social people ive ever met and defenetly no one would ever refer me to as melodrymatic or static. Honestly, i view life as ever changing and nothing can really be securely predetermined. when i looked back at my life, its just a chronological order of an unpredicatable adventure or story after the other, like looking at all the episodes for a tv series. to some people look at life is a stage,or chess board, or a mile run, or anything tbh. i view life as eveything is an adventure. All my life, ive done nothing but basically be content, ive always able to have a place to go, way to make money or someone to share my love with. only until i looked from a different perspective did i notice my life has had those moments, infact all life is was/is/will be contemp and static. However Because that i always percieved my life as someting always happening, and that life to me was like a tv show, made me ignorant to see that what makes me happiest is actually been there more than i thought. after this trip i learned Everyone will strive to the thing that makes them happy but will never reach it cause we are too blinded by searching to obtain it. basically its not about the destination, its the journey as cliche as that is. everyone discovers this in there own personalized way. Instead of feeling enlighten, i felt only as if cheated. i feel like that umderstanding is the answer were suppose to be given when we die. This was one of my last important thoughts by the first shuro, and one of the most important memories ill hold to forever.

Not just for those who worked over the weekend, but also for those who spent Sunday night with a severe bout of ‘The Fear’. Working from home is good, isn’t it? The good news is that there are plenty of lunch and dinner options across London, from Ethiopian platters, to steaming bowls of hand-pulled udon.

Sorry—looks like you screwed up that email address

Want to quickly find restaurants on the go? Download The Infatuation app.   the spots  Zeret Kitchen £ £ £ £ Ethiopian  in  Camberwell ££££ 216-218 Camberwell Rd

This Ethiopian restaurant in Camberwell is a constant buzz of families and friends sharing giant vegetarian platters generous with misir wot (spicy lentils) and shuro wot (roasted spicy chickpeas) all to be piled onto injera and into your mouth. Open from 4pm.

 Tanakatsu £ £ £ £ Japanese  in  Islington ££££ 10 Wakley Street

At Tanakatsu, you can get a solid pork katsu curry for £12.50, at lunch or dinner, any weeknight you fancy. If that’s not reason enough to head there after another day at home, then we don’t know what is. But, just in case, we’ll give you some more: sushi, a selection of teriyaki dishes, and chicken karaage.

 Giulia Verdinelli Namaaste Kitchen £ £ £ £ Indian  in  Camden ££££ 64 Parkway

Namaaste serves a stupidly moreish yogurt and pomegranate tokri chaat, and a lamb and apricot kofta zardaloo we’d pay double its £13.50 price-tag for. Between the exposed brick walls and cream leather banquette seating, it has a bit of a 90s upmarket feel, but with food this good, it’ll work just as well for date night as for dinner with family.

 Giulia Verdinelli Master Wei £ £ £ £ Chinese  in  Bloomsbury ££££ 13 Cosmo Pl

Master Wei is the second restaurant from the folks who run Xi’an Impression. Need we say more? Probably not, but we will anyway. It’s got the same specialities that we know and love - cold liangpi noodles, rou ji mo buns, biang biang noodles - only in a bigger space in Bloomsbury.

 Giulia Verdinelli Canton Arms £ £ £ £ British  in  Stockwell ££££ 177 South Lambeth Rd

Whether you’re munching black pudding toasties and sinking pints in the bar area, or digging into the changing Mediterranean menu in the dining room, this boozer in Stockwell is a safe bet for a good meal. FYI, it’s only open for dinner on Mondays.

 Karolina Wiercigroch Sông Quê ££££ 134 Kingsland Rd

Out of all of the Kingsland Road’s many Vietnamese options, Song Que is the one we constantly come back to. This is the kind of place where even a little bit of cash is gonna buy you a lot of flavour. Order a pho or bun cha, split a couple of starters with some friends, and you’ll even get to squeeze a beer in for under £20. This is the expert’s lunch or dinner move on a Monday

Saporitalia £ £ £ £ Pizza ,  Italian  in  Notting Hill ££££ 222 Portobello Rd

If we were going to describe Notting Hill’s Saporitalia in one word, we’d say old school. Okay, technically that’s two words, but the point is that this family-run spot is serving some very decent pizza. You’ll find all of the classics on their long menu, as well as wine, pasta dishes, and of course, a tiramisu. There’s also a very reasonably priced set lunch menu as well.

 Noble Rot £ £ £ £ Wine Bar  in  Bloomsbury ££££ 51 Lamb’s Conduit St

Aside from being our go-to London location for all sorts of occasions, Noble Rot also happens to do the best set lunch menu in the city. Hands. Down. It’s under £20 for two courses, which leaves you lots of flex to choose from the best wine list in London, some of which is available in half-size (and half-price) glasses. Whatever you do, don’t skip the bread.

El Rancho De Lalo £ £ £ £ Colombian  in  Brixton ££££ 94 Brixton Village

The food at this Colombian spot on a corner of Brixton Market is delicious. Their £8 lunch deal consisting of a changing soup, choice of meat with rice and plantain, drink, and a banana is undoubtedly the tastiest deal in London. In every sense of the word. The atmosphere is welcoming and humming and makes you want to be friends with everyone in there.

 Karolina Wiercigroch Morito Hackney Road £ £ £ £ Spanish ,  North African  in  Hackney ££££ 195 Hackney Road

The menu is always switching around at Morito, but it’s very hard to go wrong. Roast quail, seafood rice, any croquette, and cheese fritters are favourites. Oh, and roast cauliflower salad. But you’ll be happy whatever. Room-wise, sitting at the counter is perfect for a couple, or bring anyone you want to modestly impress.

 Giulia Verdinelli Koya Bar City £ £ £ £ Japanese  in  City ££££ 10-12 Bloomberg Arcade

The City outpost of Koya Bar is a killer spot for a meal that involves a bowl of steaming curry atsu-atsu, and your face. Other people are of course welcome, but the beauty of a meal at Koya is that a bowl of udon and broth is meant for you and just you. Of course we’d recommend sharing the evening-only tonkatsu as well, but if you’re looking for a solo Monday meal with a bowl of goodness, then this is the place.

 01 Adana ££££ 25-27 Green Lanes

01 Adana is a massive Turkish spot on the Newington Green end of Green Lanes that after one visit will soon become a regular. Everything from their shish kebabs to their lahmacun is fresh and delicious, while the mercimek corbasi (lentil soup) is a winter essential. The room is big and bright and open from early morning till midnight, making it a no brainer either when with friends or on your own.

 Karolina Wiercigroch Fischer's £ £ £ £ Austrian  in  Marylebone ££££ 50 Marylebone High St

Head to Fischer’s for an old-fashioned Austrian-style meal of schnitzel, or a bratwurst with potato salad and sauerkraut. Come with someone else and you can even split a hefty strudel too. Like its siblings (The Wolseley, Brasserie Zedel, Colbert), Fischer’s is consistently solid and the room will make you smile.

 Forza Wine £ £ £ £ Wine Bar  in  Peckham ££££ 133a Rye Ln

Forza Wine on Peckham’s Rye Lane leans more restaurant than bar. Once you see a couple happily sharing an oil-drenched panzanella in the sun, you’ll understand why. It’s all sharing plates: cauliflower fritti with aioli, a cheesestring-like Fontina toastie with hot sauce. As the name suggests, there’s a solid and natural-filled wine list too, and you can sit inside or out at lunch or dinner.

 Giulia Verdinelli Lemonia £ £ £ £ Greek  in  Camden ££££ 89 Regent's Park Rd

Lemonia is a classic north London establishment that’s been feeding friends and family homely Greek food for what’s coming up to half a century. It’s always busy, it’s always bustling, and you should always make sure the tyrokafteri, calamari, and baklava are on your order. There’s a good value lunch deal too.

 Kiln £ £ £ £ Thai  in  Soho ££££ 58 Brewer Street

Kiln isn’t just one of the best Thai-influenced restaurants in London. It’s one of the best restaurants in London full-stop. The bar is where you want to be at this Soho restaurant, where the clay pots are sizzling in front of your eyes, and a bead of sweat is forming on your head as you take another bite of ox heart laab. Come for a solo Monday lunch at the counter, or head downstairs with friends.

 Giulia Verdinelli Theo's Pizzeria £ £ £ £ Pizza  in  Camberwell ££££ 2 Grove Lane

It’s no coincidence that one of our favourite restaurants in London is also one that’s open everyday of the week. Theo’s is the move for when you want a proper pizza in a proper restaurant with a proper drink. A margherita and a negroni will set you back around £15 at this Camberwell stalwart, meaning that you and your friend, date, dog, whatever, can find room for some tiramisu as well. Note: Mondays are evening-only.
