With a seamless blend of plentiful comedic scenes, heavy action duels, and culinary prowess, you’d be hard-pressed to find anything similar.

What to expect from episode 16?
Delicious in Dungeon premises on a fantasy world filled with dungeon exploration. The story opens up with an adventure turning south on a group of adventurers, as the leader’s sister, Falin Touden is eaten after an unsuccessful attempt to slay a dragon. The group manages to escape, but a few, led by a swordsman Laios Touden, a locksmith Chilchuck Tims, and a spellcaster Marcille Donato, are prepared to go back into the labyrinth to rescue Falin before she is completely digested.
Episode 15 saw our adventurers entering a couple of skirmishes with the monsters living in the labyrinth. The most prominent of these was the Cockatrice, which bit Marcille, turning him into a statue. Episode 16 will see the crew stumbling upon another party. While they are set to battle another mysterious creature, its identity will be a major plot twist.
A teaser trailer has also been released for the next episode, so viewers can have a peek at what’s coming. Overall, the upcoming episode is expected to continue the series’ signature blend of fantasy adventure, culinary creativity, and comedic interactions.
