Glad I am not the only one who thought of this. Emi has been extremely possessive of Chiho, wanting to show her she was the hero, pulling her close to her several times (if she had been a guy, the intent would have been clear, but since Emi is a female it isn't), losing it not when she is being tortured, but when the Angel threatened Chiho. I discounted the possibility because of the genre, but what a hoot if this series actually made Emi the harem MC (Suzuno as well), instead of Maou. I would buy every single issue for this reason alone. Talk about original.

cause its another hilarious Yuusha expression XD

Fireego said:


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



I found it hilarious how she's too tired to even overreact (as usual) about being in his arms "iam way too tired for this today". and you cna feel it in her voice too that she's exhauted and worn out after the torture. She cant even quickly cover herself up.

Oh and i totally saw that hand imprint on his face and didnt realise that she'd slapped him, thanks for pointing that out XD

The bit where she interupted his pre-asskicking line to tell him to just let her down was funny to. He didnt even let it phase him, he just went back to it when she left.

Judging from the opening title, i hope next season reveals why Yuusha has angel wings (maybe its just an ability that comes with a high level of sacred power?) and i hope we get to see chi use her archery skills.

Refer to episode 4, Emi is half-angel, thus why she can even use Better Half (her sacred sword).

I can clearly see Suzuno having feelings for Emi without making any changes. We have clearly seen how in in at least one successful anime (Chūnibyō Demo Koi ga Shitai!) they have added yuri elements not found in the original light novel. Since Maou has ATM no feeling for Chiho (seems he is monre interested in Emi's DFC) and since even at the end of a second season there might be no advancement in Maou's feeling for Chiho, it would make sense to make Emi a bisexual harem MC who could potentially gain over Chiho's affection.

Now I just suddenly feels blue when I think that tomorrow's episode would be the last.

Btw, I just rewatch from eps 1, and I think in the earlier episode emi is quite chubby. I didn't notice when the change occur, but now she looks taller and slimmer than she is in the earlier episode.

Well, that was one heck of a nice showdown. Liked how even in the heat of battle there were bits of comedy mixed in. The combatants involved are powerful enough to play around, anyway. Especially Maou who upon powering up singlehandedly won the boss fight... clad only in his underwear. Laughed at how in between shots Emilia managed to squeeze in a slap on Maou's face. Dat love-hate relationship. Maou posing as Chiho to beat the crap out of that de facto fallen angel is also worth mentioning.

I guess both Sariel and Lucifer do not really know each other though they never faced off either... might have been interesting for former colleagues from Heaven. Had a laugh at how he had become addicted to the NEET lifestyle to even think of betraying his master - who was paying for all of it.

Emi was unable to do anything as Emilia this time, though to be fair the opponent was a hard counter against her, the half-angel hero who only had sacred powers to rely on.

Lol at Alsiel being fashionably (too) late for the action. And the realization he was sick due to Suzuno's cooking - deliberately meant to weaken or harm demons, I guess.

Hmm I agree, she looks better there than now but I think its because of the stress of her work and spying on Maou hehehe xD

Before I come to my discussion about the unresolved questions and problems of the anime, I really like the anime and really looking forward for season 2.

Now, I know it's foolish to say that angel is good and devil is bad but even if you set that aside, Maou is still the person that make the lives of Ente Isle a living hell filled with demons. So can I ask you, can we just forgot maou's past actions just because he is doing good things? It's like robbing the people, raping, murdering and I'll just go to somewhere I'm not known and just forget everything that have happened and live my life with full of goodness. And not to mention, its Satan were talking here. Even a mere human(scammer) is much more evil than him(episode 13). What's with that?

I am only looking for justice like being sealed forever in some dungeon or something. It just pisses me off when the story never resolve this problem and keeps it hanging for the rest of the series. AHHHH!

EXCEPT if Maou is just scheming someting much more sinister by acting good in the eyes of the people around him. I really want Maou to be the Maou of the G-senjou no Maou(visual novel). I want an ending like Maou will be evil again and tell them thay he fooled them to lower their guards and at the end, he realizes his mistakes and the goodness of a human heart before unleashing a portal that will teleport all demons in the human world, but in order to do so, he uses all his life force in the process just to close up the portal. THE END

Why people can't come to terms with the fact that Maou is no different from conquerors human history has by the handful? Why no one talks about how evil were Julius Caesar, Iskandar, Rurik and many other conquerors? I will tell you why, the only difference is that this particular conqueror is called Satan and has horns <sarcasm> wow, now that is evil</sarcasm> Maou waged war and terrible things happen in ALL wars (done by both sides, but only the losers get to go to war tribunals), there are no such things as good wars (if you think otherwise you have be thoroughly brainwashed by the state propaganda machine), saying that some war was not as bad as other wars is just trying to avoid a simple truth, war is glorified ransacking and murder.

That's what I'm talking about. But for me, whoever may they be even if you are a hero, a crime is a crime. Justice must be made regardless of who you are. But what I'm always piss about is that he just suddenly change his heart to goodness. It's annoying how the anime didn't resolve, I'm looking forward to how this will be resolve in season 2.

As someone who has read the light novel up to vol 5, I could assure you that your concern won't be resolved in 2 season (if any). Unless the studio decide to stray from LN.

Uh just so meh, Maou's speech was so lame, I mean honestly, the whole "I'm doing this for my part time job" thing just isn't funny nor cool at all. Chico is freaking annoying and why the hell is she suddenly so powerful, enough to kick an arch angel down? If she'd done that sooner they wouldn't have needed Maou ._.

Idk but I think it's a really lame episode and everything is way too predictable

DISCLAIMER: I do not follow the source material so any speculations made might very well be invalidated by someone more familiar with the source. Moving on...

I would agree with you if it were not for the fact that we don't actually know what Maou was trying to achieve back in Ente Isla. Was he waging war simply for its own sake? It's not made clear, but I'm having a hard time looking at this through black and white lenses.

Pure evil doesn't exist. It's the same as any other simplifications we make as humans. Sure it's nice to think about a spherical cow just to make reasoning about it a tractable matter, but reality is imperfect. Pure evil is as unreal as an ideal gas (i.e. one that has literally no attractive forces between its particles).

I'm willing to bet that there's more to the Demons vs Humans story than the old stories where having horns implies being evil incarnate.

Nigga, you dense.

Episode wise, was a nice episode, I thought Chiho got a powerup from shizuno or something.

Eh, this episode was full of corny lines...I have no idea if any of that fight was supposed to be funny, because I think the script writer could have done a shit load better than "I'm doing this for my job, and my co-worker!"....kinda sucks the strongerst episode at least to me turned out to be the weakest one in terms of comedy.
