Delicious in Dungeon is not a romance series, but that hasn’t stopped fans from pairing characters together, whether hinted at in the series or not. While there are plenty of pairings, here are the biggest Delicious in Dungeon ships in the fanbase.
Take note that these ships are based on fanart and discussion from English-speaking fans online, meaning this is not a definitive list of the biggest ships in the anime.
What’s more, as romance isn’t a major theme of the series, these ships aren’t exactly canon. Here in this list though, we also explore if these ships could work based on the characters and their established relationships.
Spoiler Warning: This article includes spoilers for Delicious in Dungeon, so proceed with caution.
Laios x Shuro
An unlikely pairing that has gained some traction recently is Laios x Shuro. This is a bit unexpected given how their relationship is portrayed in the Delicious in Dungeon anime.
To be exact, while Laios sees Shuro as a close friend, Shuro is often annoyed by Laios as he always comes at an inopportune time, blocking Shuro from getting closer to Falin.
Despite this, many fans have started to ship them, as shown in discussions and even fanart on platforms like X (formerly Twitter).
It seems that in some fans’ minds, while Laios and Shuro don’t get along at first, there are potential sparks of romance there. Or at the very least, it’s fun to think of the relationship dynamic between the two.
Kabru x Rin
Next is Kabru x Rin, a ship that might just have the best shot at being canon in this list. After all, it’s pretty clear that Rin has feelings for Kabru.
This ship may not be the most talked-about online, but there are definitely fans who love to pair these two together as proven by the various adorable fanart of the two.
Sadly, it seems that it is one-sided as while Rin clearly has a crush on Kabru, it seems that Kabru doesn’t share the same romantic feelings.

Lycion x Fleki
The Canaries may have been introduced fairly late in the anime, but many have already been shipping the two members Lycion and Fleki thanks to the manga.
These two elves are the closest among the Canaries, with the two often confiding in each other. Because of this, there are many Lycion x Fleki shippers in the fanbase.
A big part of their appeal likely lies in their contrasting personalities – a hallmark of most popular ships. While Lycion is aloof and quiet, Fleki is energetic and loud. This makes for an entertaining and thoroughly shippable dynamic.
Laios x Marcille
Laios isn’t exactly a romantic as monsters are what usually occupy his mind. That hasn’t stopped fans from shipping him with characters in the series like Marcille.
As party members, Laios and Marcille have plenty of scenes together in the anime, leading some fans to ship them. Yes, that also means there’s a good amount of Laios x Marcille fanart.
Some fans also think that there are hints of romantic feelings, at least for Marcille. For instance, she blushed and seemed to hope for a compliment from Laios in episode 21.

Laios x Kabru
The other Laios ship is with Kabru. This is a surprising pairing as there’s no hint about any sort of feelings between the two. Then again, their opposite personalities mean there are many shippers between the two.
In fanart, it seems that many have latched on to Kabru and Laios’ contrasting personalities and interests. After all, Kabru is an expert at reading humans while Laios’ field is monsters.
Thanks to how different they are, it’s easy to see why many have started to ship the two.

Falin x Marcille
Perhaps the biggest Delicious in Dungeon ship (at least online) is Falin and Marcille aka Farcille. This is proven by the fact that there are tons of beautiful and creative fanart of the two.
In flashbacks, Marcille and Falin are shown to be incredibly close. Then, when Falin was revived, the two took a bath together, leading to the delight of many shippers.
It’s not clear if Marcille and Falin’s feelings for each other are romantic canonically, but it’s undeniable that the two care for each other deeply.
Many shippers also think that series creator Ryoko Kui has implied this ship in various official illustrations which show Marcille and Falin being close to each other.
