Summary
[NON-FICTION FANWORK] Dungeon Meshi is full of vivid and complex world-building. When you take all the information in the manga as a whole, there are clear and consistent patterns in what real world cultures the author was inspired by, and how she arranges them on the Dungeon Meshi world map.
In this essay, I will catalog and explain every real world cultural reference I was able to identify in the manga, including character and location names, historical and mythological references, clothing, and of course food!
WARNING: This essay is full of spoilers for the entire Dungeon Meshi manga, all the extra materials, and the anime. Disturbing and violent moments that happen in the series are described, discussed and analyzed. The essay also discusses real-life world history and mythology, which contains sensitive subjects like war, death, slavery, abortion, child killing, sexual assault, incest, and bestiality. These topics are mentioned in an academic context, and not described. Please proceed with caution if this concerns you.

Summary
"Stop looking at me like that," Satomi mumbles.
"Like what?" Kyouji asks evenly, because he very much needs to know how he is looking at Satomi right now. He's usually pretty in control of himself, perfectly locked up behind his mask of professional semi-indifference spritzed in vaguely paternal concern. But he thought Satomi died a minute ago. He's still pretty shaken up. The sick fuck is probably showing through, at least a little.
"Like you care about me," Satomi says.
Or, five times Satomi faints plus one time he...still faints, but it's different?

Summary
Doc should ask him to leave. Kick him out, slide a wadded handful of cash into that deceitfully big, capable-looking hand (or maybe the pocket of his Levis, close to his scrubbed-clean skin), but instead he asks, “Want a beer? Bet I could find some F1 to watch,” because he wants to get hurt, maybe. Because he’s never gotten good at saying no before.
Or, Doc's an ex porn star making amateur gay4pay videos out of his home studio in the valley and drinking too much. He picks Lightning up thinking it's a one-off thing, but then he comes back. And then he comes back again.

Summary
In a world where magic and machinery must work together in the name of progress, a lone steamship crosses the ocean with a humble mission. The S.S. Hermit, piloted by Captain Xisuma, carries her crew with one goal; to rebuild and repair abandoned places around the world so they may become thriving cities once again. This year, Xisuma and his team have their sights set on the isolated ghost Island of Fernill, but the challenges they face grow greater every day. The world’s nations are on the brink of war, and clues begin to appear as to why this island was abandoned to begin with…
In chapter 1, Xisuma and his foreman Doc asses the new recruits, the latest of which is a young elf named Scar.

Starbound: Scavenge for Survivors by Spindle_Fizz, Theonedudewithadoor

Summary
Humans are largely an undocumented species in the greater universe. All who had ever tried to reach the outer cosmos had not survived; all but one, that is.
X, also known as Xisuma, found himself on the other side of the universe with nothing but what he had on him when he was taken. He decided that this was a prime opportunity to screw around and find out. One by one, Xisuma assembled the crew of the Hermitcraft, a ragtag team of misfit aliens from all across the cosmos. He showed them kindness and compassion, different than anything they ever knew, and they became stronger together.
This is how the crew of The Hermitcraft came to be.
