What to Expect in Season 2: Dungeon Lords, the Winged Lion, and 2027 Wait

Recent posts on r/DungeonMeshi highlight community speculation, fan art, and lore questions surrounding Season 2, including the roles of Dungeon Lords, the Winged Lion, and a fan-mentioned 2027 wait.

Imagining Season 2 and the 2027 Wait

As the community waits for the next installment, fan discussions on r/DungeonMeshi have turned toward imagining how Season 2 will play out. One November 2026 Reddit post shared original artwork depicting what Season 2 might look like, imagining a scene where Marcille flies toward her teammates and tells them, "I've been waiting for you."

That same fan post expressed impatience for the year 2027, asking why 2027 cannot come any faster. An official release date or broadcast window is not known yet from the cited posts, as this mention comes strictly from a fan post on Reddit.

Dungeon Lords in Community Art and Humor

A major focus in recent r/DungeonMeshi threads is the concept of Dungeon Lords and Dark Lords. Multiple November 2026 posts showcased fan creations credited to OddOnion and OddOnnion centered on the theme of Dungeon Lords.

One of those threads took a humorous approach to the idea of Laios and Marcille becoming lords, joking about how the two characters are portrayed ever since becoming lords. Another post simply paired "Laios and Lion" as a topic of focus for the community.

Lore Speculation: The Winged Lion and the Dungeon's Power

Beyond character scenarios and artwork, fans are debating the mechanics and limits of the dungeon itself. A theoretical discussion on r/DungeonMeshi asked whether a Dungeon Lord could use the dungeon's power to create an entirely new race.

The theory notes that using this power comes with immense risks, specifically pointing to the Winged Lion devouring a Dungeon Lord's desire, which the post describes as their soul in all but name. Whether the dungeon's capabilities can stretch to creating a whole new race remains an open question raised by fans.

Two sides of the debate

Focus on Unlimited Dungeon Capabilities

  • Fans question whether the capabilities of the dungeon's power are vast enough to allow a Dungeon Lord to create a whole new race if they set aside the risks.
  • Community posts frequently envision dramatic and powerful transformations for characters like Marcille and Laios as Dungeon Lords or Dark Lords.

Focus on the Winged Lion's Toll

  • Using the dungeon's power involves immense risks that cannot easily be ignored by whoever becomes the Dungeon Lord.
  • The Winged Lion devours the Dungeon Lord's desire—described by fans as their soul in all but name—making the connection between figures like Laios and the Lion central to the danger.
