| Yay, there's finally some action! The plan's not bad either. |

| I loved how the knight jumped at Yuusha as soon as she saw him, good episode, rushed as hell though. |
| Lol the old guys hilarious xD |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| And so ends the battle for Aurora Island. Good strategy to force the occupying demons to retreat or face encirclement by two human armies (one was actually exhausted). Their general fought the sacrificial rear-guard action so that the remainder of his forces might make it back alive. Female Knight got her chance to shine in the showdown. Not liking how rushed it was, but it can't be helped with the number of total episodes. |
| Best episode so far! 5/5 |
| All's well that ends well for this fight. I love how the hero just pops up out of nowhere. xD |
 |
| a very brilliant plan on their step to bring peace and prosperity to their world. The liberated Demon city can become the example of a city where demons and humans learn to live together, also the Demon city can become a trade outpost where human merchants and demon merchants are able to interact peacefully in their pursue of trade and profit. Plust, Aurora Island becomes the focal point of trade that will help Winter Nation become a more self sufficient and independent kingdom, reducing their dependance with other states and take away a motive to continue the war, they would have an invested interest in maintaining the new trade route with the gate that leads to the demon city. All of this trade and interaction will also motivate the Merchant Alliance to profit from the idea of peace. Just as war is good for business, peace is also good for business. Using economic means to create the incentives to maintain peace and social harmony between demons and humans is brilliant but also dangerous. One mistake and it could backfire. |
| Books are gateways to new worlds... |
| I totally want a fairy. |
| well decent episode 4/5 |
| Mm, really good episode! It's finally the battle time ... smart how they built "land" so they wouldn't be at a disadvantage when fighting the sea demons ... and nice play by Knight to battle the Sea King! :O EVIL LELOUCH I HEAR?! LOL at how Hero was scaring the people with fairy illusions omg lol XD So Hero and Old Man catch up again ... yeah, seems like being separated for strength happens a lot, doesn't it? Got a little more insight as to why he left his companions though ... |
| I'm suprised by how many timeskips this anime has. Makes me wonder what we're missing, but whatev. |

| I am really wondering about Maou's motivation. It's kind of crazy how she doesn't seem to mind seeing her own people get slaughtered. You'd think it'd at least be difficult for her to be out there on a battlefield operating in favor of the side that's killing her people. Especially given that, if the wrong people found her identity, she could find herself in a situation like Dragon Princess's.... |
| Ich verstehe nicht |
| good episode... RIP ice general! |

gregthemaniac said: GateLambda said: radle said: GateLambda said: This series makes a very interesting parallel to the Crusades era. Gateway City is Jerusalem taken by the Christians, and both Maou and Yuusha act as the Saladino of Islam, taking back the city but making it a place were both religions (races in this case) could coexist. That explains why Maou and the Demon Realm have such advance tech in comparison to the Human Realm. In their time, the Arabs were ahead of the Christian world by a large margin too. What a horrible and awful comparison.. One set of thieves, Catholics of those days (why call them Christians too? I don't think so see the first 4 commandments then read their doctrine) over taken by other thieves of those days (Islam)? That just doesn't make any sense plus the other factors that are obviously misleading to give such a illusion of the contrary.. What? I was wondering the same as you, the best comparison is the crusade... I think you are seeing a prime example of the sort of feelings that give rise to conflicts and ultimately wars although I can certainly empathize with anyone who doesn't like militant and militarized monotheistic religions. To respond to Stringed's comment: I think that Maou is one of those rare individuals who can see beyond tribal (national) boundaries and recognize that the other side is human (or another sentient being in this case) too. Generally one of the first tasks of domestic propaganda is to totally dehumanize the enemy so that your citizens will accept the desirability of your side firebombing their cities and causing "collateral damage". |

| 3some? |
| I know earlier on Maou said for Yuusha not to kill anyone or something like that, but why let so many soldiers die in the battle when he's said to easily be able to beat many, many enemies by himself. Maybe I missed something. Was he fighting off screen or is he just sticking to the no longer fighting rule and getting others to do it for him? |
 |
| This was epic, but seeing the fairies was kinda strange seeing as everything so far felt really realistic even though there was magic involved. I want to see the country develop and I want to see more inventions as well. The art is also something I've fallen in love with. I'm looking forward to more. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Lol @ Old man, he want to examine Maou's chest and I thought Onna kishi is 'pettanko'?? But when she wearing gown, she's not flat @_@ That Yuusha & Old man conversation XD |
"Signature removed"   |
| Nice little battle! Wished they had more though. :( |
 |
| Goo goo g'joob! |
| Great episode quite nice in action and pretty funny especially that perverted old man! |
 |
| dat boodies talk :)))) |
 |
| Wow that fight scene between the knight and ice demon was pretty epic, also that squid was pretty scary,those eyes. O_______o |
| Female Knight was pretty cool this episode defeating the Ice General and it looks like the Hero succeeded with his part of the plan. |
| Liked the change of pace. And I like the ending. |
| After half of the show we get some action, though I also would've been fine without it. |
| can Maou do anything?? like highkey shes a DEMON KING, can't she do any like cool supernatural stuff. |
| Xtina is my mother! |
| I won't lie, this one was pretty cool, much more then previous episoes. It don't really make sence demons sunk 200 invading ships before and now they just let them build a bridge, but, fight was pretty cool. |

AioliaDeLeao said: Can anyone tell me what was their plan? I didn't understand :( MorningGlory said: AioliaDeLeao said: take the island, improve the trade.Can anyone tell me what was their plan? I didn't understand :( Axxen said: The plan had two sides, first off they needed to have the humans reclaim the island so as to improve trade and have the southern countries able to be more independent. On the other side, they needed Hero to get the crusaders out of Gateway city, this would help the plan to reclaim the island succeed easier (mostly it involved a lot of proper timing, hence why Scholar asked only for a full day before they invaded). Important_Nobody said: Was he fighting off screen or is he just sticking to the no longer fighting rule and getting others to do it for him? I think it can be much simpler: they (Maoyuu and Yuusha) wanted to exchange two cities with as little bloodshed as possible in the process: a demon held human city, for a human held demon city. Yuusha didn't fight because terror tactics allowed him to achieve that goal more effectively. The fact that Gateway city shows potential for human and demon coexistence is just a bonus, as is the fact that human possession of Brigth Island facilitates economic thriver of the southern regions.

I wonder how much pad she uses xD It's called a "push-up corset". |
