Delicious in Dungeon Creator Ryōko Kui Responds to Theories About Laios' Neurodivergency

As a devoted fan of anime and culinary delights, I find myself utterly captivated by the unique blend of adventure, humor, and gastronomy that is “Delicious in Dungeon.” The series, with its unconventional protagonist Laios, has managed to carve out a niche for itself amidst the plethora of anime offerings.


Before being animated by Studio TRIGGER, “Delicious in Dungeon” had already achieved notable success. The show follows the journey of Laios, Marcille, Tims, and Sensi as they delve into dungeons, combining magic and cooking in an unprecedented anime narrative. The anime’s popularity can be attributed, in part, to Laios, a character known for his affection towards monsters and the unique cuisine they provide. Recently, the creator of “Delicious in Dungeon” has shared insights about Laios’ personality and intriguing aspects of the series.

In an interview with ANN, the creator of the anime franchise didn’t only delve into Laios’ character but also discussed the aspect of fan service in Delicious in Dungeon. Interestingly, he noted that Laios shares some traits with Ryoko, particularly their disregard for others’ opinions. The creator admitted feeling awkward around Laios, yet from his perspective, Laios didn’t care about what others thought. He found this indifference intriguing, and as a result, Senshi, another character, was also depicted in a similar manner. The creator explained that Laios may have some resemblance to himself when it comes to feeling a bit awkward around others in their underwear. However, he found this quirk amusing and interesting enough to depict Senshi as such.

Delicious in Dungeon: Laios’ Journey

When given the opportunity, Kui assessed Laois’ personality by sharing his observations. He described Laois as an ordinary individual, dealing with personal struggles within the dungeon. In essence, he believes Laois is someone relatable to many, including himself. As a result, he feels he isn’t writing anything extraordinary about Laois. He thinks people can empathize or appreciate Laois for these reasons. Some may compare Laois to someone on the autism spectrum, but Shuro too has his own challenges. Everyone faces their unique difficulties, and it’s not just Laios or Shuro who experience problems – we all do. It’s essential to try understanding one another in order to learn from each other. There may be instances where we unintentionally hurt others, but that’s part of the process of empathizing with others.

If you want to catch up on Delicious in Dungeon’s first season before season two arrives, don’t worry as you will have plenty of time. The entirety of season one is streaming on Netflix and here’s how the platform describes the anime series that has taken the world by storm, “When young adventurer Laios and his company are attacked and soundly thrashed by a dragon deep in a dungeon, the party loses all its money and provisions…and a member! They’re eager to go back and save her, but there is just one problem: If they set out with no food or coin to speak of, they’re sure to starve on the way! But Laios comes up with a brilliant idea: “Let’s eat the monsters!” Slimes, basilisks, and even dragons…none are safe from the appetites of these dungeon-crawling gourmands!”
