I wish he made the neck collar smaller into a ring. We were so close to greatness.

I'm actually kind of glad Zagan didn't kill Barbatos. He definitely would've deserved it, but he did always hang out with him, so at least there's a "friendly" connection between them.

Nephy is just the cutest little thing!!! Imagine if someone from our day and age wholesomely proposed with a slavery collar... Oh the drama that would unfold...

If I were Zagan, I'd confer with the other Archdemons about what just happened, because that seemed rather important.

I'm enjoying this one more than I expected. I think that my seasonal pickup wasn't that bad after all. Chastille is gaining my respect. I admire people who stand for their principles.

Zagan social hability is 0. I love scenes where Zagan and Nephy are alone.

What's with people hating the slave-collar thing. Nephi doesn't look at it as torture/submission tool, and that's all that matters.
(not that it matters, but same thing has been done in other anime too. Like Raphtalia willingly becoming SH's slave after she was freed forcibly). In both cases the choice was made in a good heart, not because the characters are weak-willed or wish to be dominated or some masochistic BS.

Anyways,

I applaud Zagan for sparing Barbatos. It's admirable when an OP character doesn't kill a harmless (to them) opponent simply because they can. It's always much harder to spare your enemy, therefor I commend him for not choosing the easiest path.

Sucks to be that demon though, lol. Getting summoned and then told to gtfo immediately :(

Great episode tho using the slave collar as an engagement ring is kinda crazy lmao.
Thought snake head was gonna be introduced as another angelic knight but guess we'll see.

Snake head was introduced in ep1 at the auction, Valefor the Apparition. All I will say is that with most things involving this show, nothing is precisely as it appears.

Weird to put the collar back on, after declaring that Nephy is not a slave anymore... He could have transformed it into a ring or something.

Happy to see Chastille leave the church!

i liked this episode and the previous one way too much compared to how little pretention this anime has šŸ˜³

it's funny, the buildup is so strange and random, high stakes moment when i don't expect them, out of nowhere, then it's cute again the minute after, this is unusual and manage to surprise me

also, digging that title drop, just like in the spice and wolf episode


“Read as little as possible of critical or aesthetic works. They are either products of a close-minded spirit, petrified and devoid of meaning in their lifeless hardening, or clever verbal games [...]. Works of art are of an infinite solitude; nothing is worse than criticism for approaching them. Only love can grasp them, keep them, be just toward them. Always give precedence to your own feeling against these analyses, these reviews, these introductions. [...] You must let every impression, every seed of feeling, ripen within you, in the dark, in the inexpressible, in the unconscious, those regions closed to understanding. Wait with humility and patience for the hour of the birth of a new clarity. Art demands of its faithful followers as much as of its creators.”

Damn, another lovable episode!
Nice conclusion, but there's a new problem in the midst. How can they overcome such problems?! OwO

Chastille's knightly appearance as she denounced one the higher-up's sickening and unreasonable demand of her, she was so stunning.

The main two lovers, or whatever Zagan will name their relationship, I can't wait what will he come up with.

Lastly, they did a better job, but not quite, at portraying how the summoned entity—of how creepy it really is.

making a slave collar to be their engagement ring was rather sweet in that bit.
@CrazyButNot4U Yes, especially to the last part. Normally that'd be anywhere from a hell no to a loud groan for me. But it works here because Nephy is the one who wanted it back on, and she wanted it back on because she views it as a connection to him. Zagan is not socially ept enough to have believably countered that. Had he tried to, it woulda been a mess or not been in character. So him stating it's their engagement ring or w/e allowed him to convey his feelings and to honor what Nephy wanted--which is really important because this is the only time we've ever seen Nephy ask anyone for anything that she intended for herself. It's still a broken thing, sure. But it's a step in the right direction.

Ring > Collar, oh well...

Also, that scum Barbatos should have died painfully for all his malicious deeds.

The collar does seems weird, curious if that was a publisher recommendation or fetish ect. I do know they are both socially inept especially considering how they grew up and have epxeirence of life so far that I can see this moment as wholesome. I would have loved him turning it into a ring or necklace in that moment though.

Zagan outmaneuvered Barbatos so well he even finished his demon summoning for him. Glad all that ends well and Zagan gets to have more peaceful times with his elf wife.
