(Mostly) Daily Thistle

Manga panel of (chimera) Falin and Thistle. Falin is stuck in giant-spidernet, looking in complete surprise and/or confusion, while Thistle is sitting on Falin’s dragon part, looking pretty small and hugging the magic book, and irritated and confusedly saying “What exactly is going on…?”.

[Chapter 66]

Thistle summoning Eyes of the Magician to attack the party.

A manga pane of Thistle and Delgal when they were younger with Thistle still having shorter hair and Delgal not having facial hair yet. Thistle is focused on creating some type of magic that's floating just above their hand, the spell looks somewhat like fire. Delgal is beaming beside them, one hand on their shoulder while saying “Woah! [Thistle], you should be the court magician!”

[Chapter 66]

Screenshot from the Delicious in Dungeon anime. Thistle’s face is the focus of the frame, they have their eyes closed and seem remorseful, their elf ears are sadly turned down. They got small scratches over their face and ears, and got their hair ruffled up.

[Episode 24]

Manga panel. Thistle is holding the magic book towards the lower part of their face, covering most of their mouth. They’re nodding and visibly happy while saying “It’s so simple. Why didn’t I pick up on it? If I do this to everyone, it will solve all my problems.”. They’re humming in either thought or agreement.

[Chapter 71]

Two manga panels. The first is a closeup on Thistle’s face, the eyes are slightly open but not really looking at anything, they’re laying back against Yaad (in Delgal’s body) while Laios (out of frame) has a spoon close to their face. There’s a dialogue bubble from Laios saying “Here! Smells great, doesn’t it!?”. The second panel has them all being drawn pretty small at the bottom of the panel with someone unseen screaming. Yaad and Laios are both surprised at the scream, tensing up and having their eyes wide open, while Thistle doesn’t have any reaction.

[Chapter 96]

A manga panel, a flashback to before Thistle became the dungeon lord. They’re destroying a winged lion statue with a wooden sledge hammer, Delgal is watching on in horror while screaming “Aah! That’s blasphemy!”.

[Chapter 68]

Zoomed in picture of the cover image for chapter 70, Thistle is in a circle, shoulders up, that itself is zooming in on a place on the cover. Thistle is looking very infuriated, drawn with two veins popping out, deeper eyebags, small pupils and they’re clenching their teeth. Behind Thistle are the two magic books floating, popping out of the circle slightly. There’s a text box next to them saying “[Thistle], Status: Mad”.

A manga panel of Thistle unsteadily crawling up a giant tilted tree from the second floor of the dungeon, with a winged lion cub walking behind them. In the background can you see more giant trees and two basilisks on another giant tilted tree.

Thistle at Delgal's birth.

A manga panel. Thistle is sitting on a bed with a bunch of pillows, their hair down, while they’re looking unhappy. A winged lion cub is snuggling up to them. There’s text in the left top corner, which reads “When the dungeon’s lord is feeling lonely or uneasy, he adopts a charming shape that can nestle close to them.”.

[Adenturer's Bible, Winged Lion Extra]

Two manga panels. The first one has Thistle looking at the viewer, the magic book floating before them while they’re making the (unseen) dragon’s blood and meat float behind them with their hand. Leed explains “She creates monsters, controls them, changes the layout of the land…”. The second panel is a close up on the book, Leed continues, “She can kill anything, just by paging through a book.”.

[Chapter 30]

[Clip From Episode 13, Japanese]

Leed reveals that Thistle is the lunatic magician.

A colored drawing of Yaad and Thistle playing suikawari. Yaad is blindfolded while holding the bat, which has nails on it. Thistle is behind Yaad, pointing and trying to guide him towards the winged lion's head, that’s popping out of the magic book, that’s right beside the watermelon. There’s no background drawn for them but they’re presumably on a beach considering they’re wearing swimsuits. Beside them is a note from Ryoko Kui saying “Summer vacation drawings.”.

[Daydream Hour]

A picture of a manga panel where Thistle is walking towards their house. The door to their house is already wide open. They’re half turned around to look at (Chimera) Falin, making their face visible to the reader, they are holding the magic book under one arm and gesturing towards the house with the other. They look serious while telling Falin “Wait for me here!”, to which Falin gives a determined nod while smiling.

[Chapter 67]

Image of one manga panel, relatively close to the characters. An unnamed tall-man is getting kicked back by a walking mushroom, Thistle -who’s standing behind them- is pushed into the wall with “Clonk”. There’s another unnamed tall-man who’s watching it happen with worry.

[Chapter 55]

Close up panel on Thistle, only their head except the chin is visible. They look bothered while saying “So what if I am?”.

[Chapter 71]

A panel of Freinag hugging a young child Thistle. Freinag is crying happy tears, screaming “[Thistle]! You’re like a son to me!”, while Thistle is looking very happy. Two of Freinag’s servants/advisors (?) looks exasperated. There’s a box near the top right corner, explaining “He got attached.”.

[Adenturer's Bible, First Thistle Extra]

A manga panel. Thistle is in the front, holding the magic book while looking somewhere between determined and annoyed, letting out an “Hmph!”. Behind them are (chimera) Falin, crouching down to have her face visible in the panel, looking curiously at the same direction as Thistle.

[Chapter 66]

Two colored panels. The first panel is of (chimera) Falin against an orange(?) background, looking slightly down, while a speech bubble says “Hey, dragon!”. The second panel reveals it was Thistle who said it. They are pointing angrily at the water at the fourth basement floor while saying “Go take a bath and wash off that dirt.”.

[Daydream Hour]

Cropped panel showing Thistle, Freinag, Freinag’s unnamed wife and Delgal. Freinag is lifting baby Delgal up in the air, his wife happily watching from the couch, with Thistle also throwing their arms up in the air happily. They’re all laughing.

[Chapter 12]

Screenshot from the Dungeon Meshi anime. Thistle is sitting with their back towards the viewer, their hair is down and they’re reading a book. The room is dark, the only lightsource being a tiny lamp that’s on the table in front of Thistle. The room is full of books.

[Episode 22]

Full body image from the manga. Thistle is sitting in an armchair made out of wood with a pillow on the seat, they got their eyes closed and looks troubled. Beside them is there laying a winged lion cub that’s nuzzling into one of their legs, looking pleased. There’s a speech bubble for the next panel, which is mostly cut off, that says “Another tiring day…”.

[Chapter 68]

Zoomed in image on a Thistle. They’re looking stressed and have their thumb close to their mouth, which they seem to have recently bitten on because there’s a small injury on it. Beside them is a speech bubble, that’s also hiding a lot of the side and back of their head, that says “An ideal world…”.

[Chapter 84]

Cropped panel from Kabru’s nightmare in chapter 61, zoomed in to focus on Thistle, only their head is visible. Laios, who’s not really visible in the image, is holding Thistle under one of his arms. Thistle seems to have a small smile on their face and have X’s where their eyes should be.

[Chapter 61]

[Episode 13, English]

Thistle explaining that Delgal owns everything in The Golden Kingdom before trying to get rid of the so-called “thieves”.

Like usual am I just guessing which Merini it is based on Thistle’s hair, it could also be Delgal or Eodio for all I know but I will guess it’s Yaad.

Colored art of Thistle and Yaad. Thistle is sitting on the ground, playing a biwa while looking at Yaad and smiling. Yaad is laying on the ground, on his stomach, while propping his head up with one hand and holding an apple. Yaad doesn’t seem to be smiling. They are both on a little drawing of the ground, with grass and some flowers, the background is white with a few very light colored dots that sorta looks like confetti.

[Daydream Hour Cover]

[Episode 22, Japanese]

Thistle surprises Yaad and asks who he talked to.

A manga panel, Thistle is seen shoulders up, their face being closeup in the panel. They’re looking up at something behind their shoulder, sweating from fear and shivering.
