NEW SD GUNDAM GAIDEN WORK HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED

So, first is the little intro about this work. It's a new entry banner called SD Gundam Gaiden NEO. (The Knight Gundam series is separated into different banners that each series falls under. The previous one was New Testament SD Gundam Gaiden.)

The motif for this series is the 2022 Gundam series Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury.

The title of this first entry is "The Forbidden Magic" and this first arc is "Shrine Maiden of the Dragon God".

I'll be translating stuff from the snippet on the P-Bandai page. (VPN needed to access it from outside Japan)

STORY

Many years ago, the Benerit Clan wiped out the Dragon Village. However, some villagers, mainly children, were able to flee into the deep forest. It has been said that mysterious magic since ancient times has been hidden there…

In the Benerit Clan, which destroyed the Dragon Village and built a city in the remaining wasteland, a struggle for supremacy was underway among the young chiefs of the three families. The control of that power spread to the surrounding area, and the people of the Dragon Village are once again discovered by the Benerit Clan.

Under orders from the head chief, Delling, the elites of the three families approached the silent forest…

Current Thoughts

I hope these aren't the final card artwork because it looks a bit bland with the default silver background. The ones with gradient look a bit better, but they are nowhere near as the fully rendered backgrounds in New Testament or previous works.

They do not give a gender, but I feel like Aerial is male here and idk how to feel about it. The card list does mention Ericht separately as a spirit, so that kind of alleviates my concerns. I just don't know how to feel about it.

The first chapter is Shrine Maiden of the Dragon God, which likely refers to Mio.

One of the spirits is Spirit Geist, which is one of Roux's main summoned Spirits in Kikoushin Densetsu, which makes me think this is in the Dabat Kingdom, but at the same time, I'm not sure since we've yet to learn where and when in the SD Gundam Gaiden timeline this takes place in.

It would make sense to have a story that takes place in that kingdom's area, since Seikihei Monogatari is the only one whose yet to have a post-Saddrac Knight Saga era work connected to it.

I think something that people might be struggling with re: Dungeon Meshi is like, there aren't really that many genuinely bad people in the story. There is a villain, and I won't spoil that, but people do seem to be acting like Kabru and Toshiro are antagonists or just bad people, and granted the story doesn't exactly paint them sympathetically at first, but they really aren't. No one in this story is a bad person, they all have nuanced backstories and worldviews and personalities that make them the way they are, and the conflict is a result of them clashing because they can't always understand each other.

Like almost every character aside from Laios' party and Senshi are introduced in a way that makes you unsure of them, makes you think they're jerks or dangerous, but as the story progresses and everyone starts to understand one another then they can part if not as friends, then at least as neutral acquaintances/allies. The story is about people with massive differences coming to understand one another and how that makes them all stronger. It's about how people who seem strange or weird or dangerous often are just different and aren't inherently worthy of scorn just for prioritizing different things and having cultural standards that seem odd or personality traits that are off-putting.

If you genuinely think Toshiro or Kabru are the bad guys or are meant to be seen as unsympathetic assholes then like, sorry, you've missed the point? Almost no one is truly evil in Dungeon Meshi, they're just different, and sometimes those differences lead to conflict, and sometimes that conflict is bad enough that two people just can't get along, but if everyone makes an effort to understand or at least accept one another, then we can make a better world.

#remember kabru pointed out that toshiro would have done anything to save falin even black magic #and that helped diffuse things #because it's true #what Laios and Marcille did was dangerous and forbidden #but most of us would do anything to save the people we love #and had Toshiro been there he probably would have agreed to use black magic to save Falin #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #dunmeshi

Prompt 134

One of the young justice members is complaining about how their parents or mentors benched them after getting injured. 

And Marvel snorting and saying that that reminds him of Phantom. And of course, the YJ crew, ask who that is. 

“Oh Phantoms my big brother, pops never really understood our human halves or limits so…” and he just shrugs like he didn’t just drop Lore. And the teens smell blood in the water, they want to know more. 

#prompts #dcxdp #dpxdc #The kids have sniffed out the Forbidden LORE #Marvel was distracted by the meditteranean magic men in his head #Robin: Guess what B I now know more about Marvel then you do >:) #Batman: Hnn #YJ to JL: Do you guys know Marvel's brother??? #JL: His What #Eternal 10 year old Billy: So don't freak out #Eternal 14 year old Danny: What did you do #Constantly age shifting Clockwork: Oh I'm sure nothing wrong now help me fix this timeline the speedsters broke #Pariah trying to bake cookies: Just don't break the table if you start wrestling #Eternally 12 Ellie and eternally 17 Dan entering through different doors: Oh no the whole family is here the keep won't survive

Marcille didn’t use illegal magic to resurrect Falin bc she just loves Falin that much, she was able to resurrect Falin bc she already knew illegal magic bc she doesn’t respect elf cops.

#she literally majored in illegal magic #what Falin’s death pulled out of her was the willingness to reveal this to the group. imo. #it’s a very similar arc to Laios it’s about vulnerability. she doesn’t corrupt herself she reveals herself #not that it’s nothing that she does this for Falin. esp since a running theme in the early chapters for Marcille is knowledge vs action #she KNOWS how to do a lot of things but she hasn’t taken action on many of them. and she has already started to confront that #by the time they reach the dragon. her character arc doesn’t start there it starts w like. the mandrake #ANYWAY Falin is important I just think that framing it as like ‘look how far she’ll go this is FORBIDDEN’ kind of misses the point #that the elves and gnomes and dwarves have suppressed this knowledge. THEY have failed Marcille. they set her up for failure #don’t by into their lies!!! burying the truth isn’t helping! rah rah!

Falin is my soulmate #confirmed

[ID: The first image is of a young, smiling Falin and a hesitant Marcille walking through the woods, then Falin suddenly dives towards the floor while saying "Grasshopper!", then proudly holds out a Grasshopper towards a screaming Marcille.

The next two images are of Shuro and Marcille in sleeping bags. In the beginning, Falin is fully sitting up and looking at her hand, while Shuro looks at her. There's text, reading: "One day, after we had made camp and were sleeping, I woke up. Farlyn was keeping watch, and I saw that she was looking at something on her finger.". Next is a closeup of her hand with a caterpillar on it, the text continues: "I was wondering what it could be... Then I saw that it was a strangely-colored caterpillar. A normal woman would be looking at it in disgust or screaming...".

Then there's a closeup of her face, looking at the caterpillar more closely, with the text reading: "But she was staring at it, enthralled, almost like it was a precious jewel.". Lastly we see Shuro looking at Falin in awe, as she's gently holding the caterpillar in two hands to look at it's underside, noting that it's female, with the text: "In that very instant, as I gazed upon her profile, I fell in love.". End ID]

#thank you Falin for bugs!!!!! #the more I see her the more I love her. I understand why everyone went back in the dungeon to save her #I too would have used forbidden dark magic to revive her. I get it Marcille. #doddie redet #dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi spoilers #<- maybe idk #falin touden #falin dungeon meshi
