I do wonder why Maou did what he did back on Ente, I highly doubt it was all for shits and giggles, I wonder if the demons were being oppressed or some such.


I think that is a distinct possibility, we know that the Church used the war to secure its position in Ente among the other human countries, so they may have created the war with Maou to present a common enemy to fight against.

At the same time Maou has admitted that he didn't know humans as well back then, "young and foolish" was how Ashiya described "Maou Inc". So Maou, who still desires to "rule the earth" may have been all too willing to attack the humans, not fully understanding the evil he would cause. The major difference with Maou on earth is that he wants to "earn" world domination instead of taking it.

i also am really wondering how Emi, even with all her sacred powers and gear, was able to corner Maou...

My opinion is that even then Maou was not the bad person he was made out to be and that he was never gonna go all-out on Emi at Ente Isla. Though that would have made a great first episode!


Maou admitted to mistakes and in that Lucifer was one of his generals and before his discovering the "joys of NEET" was an ass, Maou was evil to some extent. But you are right that there is a lot more to discover here: Maou knows a lot more than he lets on (he knew what Olba was all about), Emi at the same time knows more than she lets on (she warned Suzuno about "cheap tricks" stating that Maou wouldn't fall for it).

As for Emi's strength. Emi is a whole lot stronger than she has let on, the Angel just happened to be the one person who she matched up poorly against, particularly at her low power level. I have been toying with the idea that Maou decided to leave because he didn't want to have to fight Emi (who he was obviously well aware of), but that seems to contradict he reactions when he first got to earth. But at the same time he knew that Emi was out there, so he may have been playing possum. But I think the real answer is that Maou now is stronger than when he was on Ente. Remember now he knows how he gets his power, he didn't know this before.

Emi is the one that can cancel out Maou's power. If, as I believe, that Emi is powered by hope, when the hero stands firm, those who follow the hero have hope replace fear, so Emi becomes more powerful as Maou becomes weaker. During the final battle Emi would have been at her strongest, because all of humanity was united in hope, and the demon's power source would have been drying up. That was why she could win.

its just that demons are depicted as bad or evil and angels as good or justice lol, who says which way round they are......


If angels MUST be good and demons MUST be evil then they have no free will and are no different from robots. IMO it is more interesting if there are atypical demons like Maou and atypical angels like James. Ashiya is 100% dedicated so he does not care if his lord is not your typical demon and Lucy does not care as long as he gets to do what he really likes, do nothing and surf the net all day (getting a better laptop would be a plus, but he is in no hurry).

holy crap that was awesome. Thank you Maou for beating the shit out of that shitty angel. The look on whats his face before he got obliterated was priceless . And holy crap Lucifer redeemed himself! O.o
Also all the scenes of the girls getting flustered about Maou wearing just his underwear were very funny.

After seeing this episode, I have a feeling that people will have more respect to those who work in fast food shops like McDonald's ;-)
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.

This episode is a prime example of why I love this series so much. An action filled episode that still had some fucking great comedy packed in it.

Emi was just the best and I lmao'd at all of her reactions about her busts size and insults toward Maou. I love it when her voice gets high like that at the end and when she gets angry at Maou. It was hilarious to watch Dullahan get destroyed again and haha Alsiel nice way to end it off by arriving late to the scene like before.

I tend to forget way too often that this show is primarily focused on comedy and romance. If I judge it by those factors only and add a little action every now and then, mostly Maou acting in his true form, it's quite entertaining.
That being said, having this week's episode mostly focus on the action part made for a really good episode. I'm satisfied.

I think he is "wise" about the girls as well. Maou has several times shown that he knows far more about what is going on than he appears. That is one of the good things about this show. Both Emi and Maou aren't stupid, they both figure out what is going on, and then both don't reveal all of what they know. In short they act like the powerful, charismatic, leaders they are supposed to be.

Now my turn! Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Emi was laying a bit low against the Angel. I know that he was the worse person for Emi to fight, other angels don't have the ability to cancel out the sacred sword, but even so, she recovered fairly quickly from the "torture", and she was extremely calm when Maou was fighting the Angel, particularly after he rescued her. Maou actually did her a favor in killing the Angel. Heaven's best weapon against her is now gone. She knew exactly how Maou would respond in both circumstances. Though doubtful, wouldn't it be funny if her and Suzuno actually planned that entire sequence. Suzuno just happened to know all about the Angel, let Chiho call Maou, had the same basic plan as Lucifer, Emi had a peculiar reaction when Maou went full power.

If this show was a drama, I wouldn't put it past the writer, however I think it would be a little too deep for a romcom. Still it would explain a lot.

And that epic face as Maou wield that Demonic Sword!

I saw two different subbed versions. One said "she'll get killed without it" and the other said "she'll kill me if I don't give it back to her". I don't know Japanese but the latter seems to suit Emi's character more. She already knows that Lucifer is a purse snatcher after all.

This episode was awesome and funny!
All the characters are just so interesting and fun to watch!

Orba/Olba got out of the hospital. I hate him for punching Ashiya! He then recruited Lucifer, which wasn't a smart move. He also tried to help Sariel (James), but that too was a stupid thing to do.

Lucifer, being the awesome NEET he is, was recruited by Orba, but he still chose to follow Maou by causing panic and giving Orba an uppercut. I guess he learned his lesson from a few episodes ago when Maou punched him.

Oh thank the Dark Lord that Chiho was only knocked unconscious and did not lose her memory. And her uppercut-kick combo was amazing! Even though it wasn't her. She still got colleague-zoned though.

Suzuno's hair clip is her giant hammer! And she returned to the Maou side! I guess she couldn't resist Maou after seeing him half naked. But she also killed Dullahan. Suzuno's really cute with her hair down and when she's blushing.

Speaking of blushing, that's what Emi did when Maou told her that he could see her front wide open. She also slapped Maou shortly afterwords. Sadly, Emi was tortured by Sariel in this episode.

Speaking of the perverted angel, Sariel, other than being perverted, got his ass kicked hard by Maou and his Broom Sword of Destruction.

You know, Maou really has a thing for punching. He punched the barrier and did an uppercut on Sariel as Chiho. He really does care about his uniform that he just wore boxers instead. And he saved the day again.

Ashiya, on the other hand, arrived late. What a disgrace for his Dark Lord.

tl;dr Each character is unique and interesting in their own way.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Lucifer said "(I)'ll be killed(by Emilia).", () were not said in original text. He didn't say who will kill or who will be killed clearly in original text, they are often omitted in Japanese.
However, I understand that "Lucifer: I'll be killed by Emilia." as a Japanese native speaker.

Lucifer: By the way, as for Emilia's bag, would you mind if I ask you to give me back already?
Orba: No problem but what are you planning to do with this?
Lucifer: Huh? I just give it back to Emilia.
Orba: What!
Lucifer: Because I'll get killed (by her) if I don't.
Orba: It can't be true or ... Curse you! You tricked me!

Lucifer's frank or rather somewhat indifferent way of speaking was as if it had been the quite natural and obvious consequence even to Orba to begin with. But, I must agree with him. If you borrow someone's belongings, you should return them soon after, when you don't need them anymore. :-)

Great episode. This episode seems to be coupled with ep.11 and ep. 5.
Everyone wanted to change reality for their own ideals, and they approached their ideals, except Olva.
Lucifer reminds me that mandane and peaceful life has special value, and such a NEET life depends on Ashiya's housekeeping.
Ashiya couldn't play active role in this battle, but his actual battlefield is maou-jou.
Great anime, I'm sad that this has only 13 episodes...

The Japanese is pretty clear. The first thing that Lucifer says is that he needed to return the purse to Emi. In that sentence the verb is in the regular form, so Emi being the person who the item is returned to takes "ni" as the particle. Lucifer then says "kill" in the passive form, which means that the noun using "ni" becomes the agent, so even though he didn't specifically say "Emi will kill me", the conjugation of the verb implies Emi would kill him. A literal translation would be "I have to return this purse to emi because if I do not she will kill me."
