The last few episodes have been quite disappointing in my opinion, it feels like it's become the Chiho show, I mean where was Maou for most of that episode?

It seems kind of ironic to me how Chiho was questioning whether Suzuno had met Maou back in Ente Island and accusing her of not knowing him personally like she does, and constantly saying that "he would never do that". But Chiho didn't see all the suffering Maou caused back in Ente Island. Although I really like Maou, it seems like everyone is forgetting that he is actually the Dark Lord and he was evil for crying out loud. I mean has he even said that he isn't planning on taking over the world anymore? Nope. I think Chiho and especially Emi brush off all the evil things he did way too easily.

So I was swaying more towards Suzuno's side in that argument.

LOL at Lucifer shouting to them can't stop laughing...

so finally James reveals his true self...an angel...

so that's why the Sacred Sword of Emilia is always shrinking it's because of the power of James in his eyes...

Maou's gonna save Emi and Chiho using "The Dark Broom"

Orba's return what will be the reaction of Lucifer if he saw Orba again...will he team up again to him to beat Maou?

next episode will be action again...

can;t wait for it...

Next ep would be a rumble. Orba and Ashiya is at the same place - that thought itself is funny as heck.

What you wrote is true, people have forgotten, so Suzuno's actions are completely understandable.

But you are making the same mistake with Chiho. She freely admitted that she didn't know what happened on Ente Island, but in her world she does know that Maou saved thousands of humans from the "earthquake" and Orba's attack on Emi. She also knows that the Church wanted to kill Emi because they no longer needed her. Based on her experience she is right in thinking that there may have been something the other side did to spark the war (and I think we will find it closer to the truth). Suzuno's side hasn't acted like heroes.

Emi's reaction I think is the most interesting. Emi is using Chiho to decide Maou's fate, Chiho is her litmus test. Emi knows that something isn't right, and she is waiting to see what happens. That is why Emi is the "hero" and not the Church. This is also Suzuno's major fault (she is rushing judgment in large part because she is afraid if she waits longer she will lose her nerve if the time should come, where as Emi will always do the heroic thing).

In watching the episode I noticed that Emi did not use her full power against the angel. She didn't bring her armor out, and she implied the last time she thought she could be able to use her Robe.
I think she didn't want to waste her power realizing that the Angel had the ability to nullify it, so she deliberately laid low. I think this was why she could dematerialize the sword so that the angel couldn't take it (he seemed pissed that it disappeared).

We will find that out next episode I am sure, the preview made it seem like Lucifer teamed up with Orba again, and they were doing something that will kill a bunch of innocent people (based on Maou's face) (maybe to force open a gate). I have a feeling that these next two episodes are going to be awesome.

Evil? Well, then the Roman Empire was evil because they killed in cold blood most citizens of Carthage (and enslaved those that remained alive, destroying in one fell swoop a vibrant culture), also then all conquerors in the few thousand years of human history were evil. All of them attempted to conquer the (known by them) world, all of them caused suffering to innocent (and not so innocent) peasants, can you really think one reason why Maou's conquest is supposedly different?

But the simple truth about Suzuno's assassination order is that Maou lost the war and those who won the war want him out of the picture so they can distribute Maou's kingdom among themselves, they are not even attempting to bring him to a court of law so "justice" can be served.

In a world like that, there’d be no need for love anymore either. If everyone were perfect, there would be no need to look out for others. Sympathy or love is needed because people are imperfect. A perfect human cannot love anyone.

Poor Ashiya. He's still sick, boxes fell over him, and now he's in the hospital with Olba, who just woke up.
Poor Lucifer. He's a NEET. At least he's helping Maou track Emi down.

So, Suzuno was under Olba's orders before she went to Japan. She also has a big hammer.
Too bad they weren't talking in Entean.

Chiho VS Suzuno. Good thing Emi stopped that battle.
Oh no, I hope Suzuno just knocked out Chiho and not erase her memories!

So, James was the masked man with the scythe. Not that surprised though.

I'm excited for the next episode.
Maou will defeat everyone with his broom!

Chi-chan was really pissing me off his episode. Sometimes I feel like she'll only there to provide the big boobs..

Other than that, I really enjoyed this episode! Yay for the plot development!

But seriously Chi-chan is annoying. Hopefully, she'll develop into a character that doesn't give me a headache as the series progresses.

Ok, this was a good non-comedic episode, I liked it. But Jessy is really getting on my nerves. Not to say that he's soooooo gay in his "angel" form.

I think the Church leaders in Ente Isla were speaking Japanese in this episode. It was a lot of dialog so it made sense to do it that way but it renders the made-up language from previous episodes pretty useless.

I definitely do not want that one to happen. Rather have no pairing at all then Maou being paired up with her. She is just so irritating to watch (for me at least, opinions differ of course).

Good build-up episode, wonder what the next one holds in store.

Great episode, I love it.
Suzuno has been bounded by harsh past, but she still stands against her past and James by declining to say going by James.
Yusa comes to grips with harsh reality to save Chiho as a symbol of happiness.
They are very glamorous because all of them have their own belief and background.
I'm hard to wait next ep.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I usually dislike characters like her as well, but this time I actually really like Chiho. She amuses me to no end. Plus I was impressed by her confession, despite the fact that it won't go anywhere.

I prefer Emi, but Chiho ain't so bad.

All comes down to initial impressions. When they first showed Chiho everyone assumed she was only going to be the "big breasted loli", and they will keep that impression regardless of how she develops as a character.
