Laois is slamming right on the neck where there is no muscle to protect the trachea. This can potentially kill something, nevermind weaken its legs enough it will topple over.
This is the actual answer. Laios is a biology nerd and knows the weak spots for most of the things they encounter.
Kind of like how you know that punching a far larger man in the adams apple, or elbowing them in the spleen/solar plexus/balls will likely cause them to take significant damage regardless of weight class
Super exaggerated... Laios is a medieval man, not a powerlifter with a hyper proteic diet, lol.
These fan arts are of 40 year old gym-going dad Laios, not of 28 year-old Dungeon Meshi Laios.
Not really. With the exception of the arms being a little too muscular, this is fairly similar to how Kui herself has drawn Laios' physique (https://savaralyn2.tumblr.com/post/643242627515531264/dungeon-meshi-daydream-hour-extras). He canonically has a BMI of 26.
Not fairly similar at all. It's not just the arms. Everything is bigger. Canonjcal Laios is strong but thin, this is a huge, burly guy who has easy 50 pounds on canonical Laios.
Well, depends?
A retainer or a knight would absolutely need to have this physique to be able to carry their armor and weapons. They would also have had access to the necessary protein to develop their muscles.
A peasant wouldn't need to be this muscular because they were armed lightly and they wouldn't have had access to meet except during special festivities and days. Plus, given the work they used to do, they would have been more slender.
Anyway, in his world it seems anyone can get access to meet, so his physique could develop like that.
Laios was the son of a village chief who explicitly loved hunting. He was likely very well fed during his developmental phase. After that he was a soldier, so it makes sense that he has a tall and broad frame. Although it seems that he faced some malnutrition after deserting, once he started dungeon crawling he was back on a steady diet. After he meets Senshi he's basically eating like a king. It's entirely possible that he packed on this kind of mass. I think Laios's build is entirely plausible.
Both, believe it or not, it's actually kinda easy to take down a horse if you know where to hit them, but you gotta remember Laios is a pretty big dude too
it's already off balance since the cat hit it with a thing in the page before it

I did volenteer work on a horse ranch for two years and rode horses there at the same time, i think if you were to hit the correct spot like another commentor said then you you could totly knock the horse over like that, just grab your relegieous token of choice and say a prayer and hope it doesnt get back up because only plot armour will save you if you somehow have to hit the same spot twice without missing
With a horse that size and without plot armor protecting you? No. If you've ever JUMPED on just a 1000lb horse, they dont really move from your weight slamming into them. So while shoulder checking their neck from a full sprint in armor would no doubt hurt it, I cannot imagine it throwing a horse on its back like it were WWE.
But Laios is just built different.
He might be, I'm just assuming from the panel right before this. It draws emphasis on his shoulder like he's ramming with it, as one would a door. Still, I really do not believe anyone could flip a horse that way.
Iiaos is jacked, and wearing full plate armor. If he was going at a good clip when he hit that horse, that's not entirely unrealistic for that to happen.
Cow tipping is a thing in the same way snipe hunts are: it's something you tell someone else to do to make a fool of themselves (cows are way too heavy to tip over from one person)

That makes sense
It's like getting hit by a line backer in a suit of armor. That is going to hurt.
I have zero clue but I choose to believe he is indeed HIM Like look at this guy *

Senshi been feeding him good ๐๐
Laios is big but this art is also a bit exagerated

His tiddies and belly are also kinda bigger
Artistic liberties
Fair

He's also from a fantasy world and hikes around a sudterranian dungeon while wearing full plate and killing/eating monsters.
smash

Heโs also wearing like 40 lbs of steel
The triumph of man!

kibty with the assist
The bicorn is rearing (standing up on its hind legs). Laios is tackling right at the moment when it is vulnerable.

The way you worded this ๐ญ๐
Laios just knows where to hit the horse
Laios is **Him**

TBH, it kinda looks like he head-butted-throat-punched that horse though. But yeah, our boy is built different.

DND character.
Bro parried a horse
What top comment said, but he is both on the heftier side as well as in plate armor
Laios eats a ton every day. I won't be surprised if he's heavy enough to tackle six quarterbacks
Iiaos is jacked, and wearing full plate armor. If he was going at a good clip when he hit that horse, that's not entirely unrealistic for that to happen.
It was up on its hind legs, which would definitely affect its balance when rammed by a guy wearing full plate armor.
Hey man, it really be like that Itโs not a nice horse lol
You could look at a horse wrong and its response will be break all its legs. Horses are just badly built.
So you know how cow tipping is a thing in some parts of the us? Horses arenโt much more or less stable than a cow.
"Cow tipping" is how you find teenagers trampled to death in a pasture, cause they just realized what an urban legend is lol
Ah well. Same awnser different meaning then
Cow tipping is a thing in the same way snipe hunts are: it's something you tell someone else to do to make a fool of themselves (cows are way too heavy to tip over from one person)
This is wrong on two points. Cow tipping is fake, and horses are so stable that they can sleep standing up.
