Well, that play at the festival sure is popular even with Ard playing the role of devil.

What I didn't expect to see is Sylphy turning against Ard and actually fighting him for real with those special swords. That went South fast but it looks like she still misses her big sister very much. Feels like Sylphy is still rather immature and got brainwashed.

Episode 5 of The Greatest demon lord is reborn as a typical nobody was decent.

It was a fine episode, the battle was average, and the backstory is OK.

I give this episode 5/10.

Good to have more of Lydia and I wanna know what actually happened to her. It'll proly be something cliché but still.

Damn the villian got taken out real quick, or at least he appeared to. Now I wonder what the threat will be in the next episodes, maybe it is still him somehow or maybe they'll just focus on more storybuilding.

I actually wonder whats's the whole reason for Ard to "kill off" Lydia, which of course was not in bad faith or because he's secretly a villian". Anyways I guess it's pretty cool seeing more, or should I said, that it was finally revealed how Lydia truly acts and thinks. Until now there wasn't much to go off.

A very average episode. lol
I'm a bit upset as to why there's no explanation of why Lydia became what she is today. What did Ard or Varvatos done to Lydia in the past...
He used magic but what kind? there's still a lot of mystery that wasn't explained in the anime adaptation up to this point, hopefully, there should be in the LN/Manga...

P.S. That clown's VA really reminds me of Roswaal, was it? 😅

Man, that animation was really, lackluster. Especially, the stage play's animation was terrible.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Lmao no only is this anime censored as fck for a harem ecchi anime.

They don't even do the action properly, the animators also seem to have given up on this show.

Lmao, feels good to see a show fail so hard, when they censor it and expect that it'll do well with removing the best parts of the light novel.

Like 3/4 of the light novel's are jus ecchi harem shit bits, the action is not even part 1/4 of the light novel.

Whoever thought it was good idea to remove all the fan service in a show like this will now know better, that the only thing left is garbage like we got today.

Lmao I’m just confused as to why fake roswaal thought he was gonna fight Ard 1 on 1 and win after the much stronger Sylphy couldn’t do it?

Is the fanservice quality? I may peep the LN

Huh, Mask Face really went down that easily even though he had two of those swords. Oh well, he discovered the hard way that messing with Ard's harem is akin to signing your own death warrant.

Also, the way Ireena reminds Sylphy of Lydia hints that Ireena might be Lydia's descendant.

Lol what a funny way to end the war, Sylph. Just bombed them all in, friends and foes. Then the way Lydia finished him off by surprise like that. Kekw, poor man. Never know this damn series had such a humorous take. Nice play y'all.

Then, hmm? Is that all you wanna tell? I feel like the masked dude have more of it and will be coming back again because no way he's just begone just like that, right? Rather than Roswaal, I'm thinking him as a very low copy of the clown villain from isekai slime that also getting destroyed in the latest previous season. Here he also get rekted too.

Ardo-kun should've told the truth faster. But the arrival of Lydia to ease Sylph directly by calling her dumbass also a not so bad path to go through. So, yeah, let's see next....

Well, that flashback was just as stupid as the play. Not sure why diet-Roswaal thought it a good idea to go up against Ard 1-on-1.

I liked it because the episode shows Silphy wanting to find her sister again and a guy in a mask manipulates her to make her kill Ard using the sword she won in the tournament and Lydia appears

Great episode! Ireena was very nervous about the play xD. Sylphy was troubled by something it seemed and she one shot Ireena...
She also wants to kill Ard as she proclaimed...but she doesn't seem to be herself.
It seems that the fake Roswaal guy has a part to play in this by showing her the truth of Lydia...who is dead.
Ginny and Ireena together didn't stand a chance against Sylphy...
And Ard transformed into his true demon lord form!
The fake Roswaal guy then appeared and he says that he longs for the revival of his master and for that, he needs to sacrifice Sylphy.
He was no match for Ard of course though and got absolutely wrecked by him since he wasn't chosen by the holy sword.
And Lydia was inside that sword!

Looking forward to the next episode!

The play was just as utterly boring as Ireena's way of speech with her nervousness, and the flashback as sputtering and stuttering, and unsurprisingly the Roswaal-cutout, not even he can avoid Sylphy's childish traps that still wrecks scores of enemies.

But back to the modern day, and the whole festival was just an immersion for Sylphy to go loose being brainwashed by the Roswaal-cutout Mask Guy to force Ard's true colours as the reincarnated Demon Lord Varvatos, after losing her older sister, the champion Lydia. And to think that he had even a sliver of chance to face against Varvatos, such a fool.

I'd probably think that the episode's highlight is Lydia's soul manifested in the Holy Sword reignited to call her dear sister Sylphy "dumbass", yeah that's fitting, why not.

It's not like they can kill Ard just like that and since they controlled Silphy, he already took it upon himself to free her, it's not the last time they could show up to finish him off.

none of this makes sense. the characters just dont folow their own values. theres barely character developpment when theres supposed to and the storuline just doesnt hold up. its not even well paced. like everything is out of order. so anoying. fuck that succubus too. shes actually so annoying. and the white haired gir. i cant be bothered to remember her name is just ''ard this ans ard that''

the only actually ok character was the redhead and they ruined her

it was forged magic video this guy created, it was obvious, showed her what he wanted and not the truth, and maybe half truth, like take just 1sentence out of some1 post this way o can take it out of context and make some1 look bad and this could be same thing, did it show the hole event? no only the final part so we don't know what lead to that

Ultimate chad move by Lydia there by materialising from the sword, calling Sylphy a dumbass (well-deserved) and just vanishes.

Sylphy gets on my nerves and so did that strange figure who brainwashed her. We see that Lydia came out of the sword to smack some sense into Sylphy but that left so many questions as to how it wasn't Varvatos at fault and the flashback showing him consuming her.
