What's with all the whalefags in this thread shitting on DD with incorrect information.
>They only kill them for the meat
Clearly haven't read the manga, because they eat the meat, collect oil, use the scales/hide for tapestries and presumably other things, bury the remains to clean the bones for later use. "Ambergris" substance for perfume. I'm pretty sure they also use the dragon's flight organ to literally create their aircraft, as well as a lot of dragon hunting for nuisance/dangerous dragons. Equating dragons to whales is just an easy comparison and the widwits way of justifying hating a series that goes pretty far to show you the nuances of why the dragons are hunted, what's done with them and the surrounding world building that makes the justification for hunting dragons quite different from whaling. Can't say some of the characters aren't one sided (mika) but people claiming the entire cast is one-noted clearly haven't read Vanabelle's arc, pic related arc with Takita or the various small side-character things that happen throughout the series. Just sounds like a bunch of butthurt whalefags refusing to read a series because muh whales are too precious.
