THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The curse of the 15th Birthday, for "doll" Misha and other-sister half Sasha, all because of a magic power of fusion. And all that, is about to be unravelled through Arnos.

More of the controversy spanning within Misha's life, and having Arnos as a dear friend kinda saved her life from diminishing memories and such. A miracle, indeed for the kuudere.

Meanwhile, Sasha continues her challenge with the reincarnated Arnos as a test of his Demon Lord strength, however the bond between the Necron sisters being the sacrifice on all of this. Jealousy and feud adjustment aside, only fate can carry both of them forward.

Despite this, Arnos's straightforward approach to save both sisters is a given really, and having to fight against an invincible Guardian God of Time in the body of Ivis Necron, nothing is impossible for this OP Demon Lord, none. To put it simply, angels or demons cannot break Arnos apart, as I've said it from time and time again, his OP-ness, despite bring SO broken, knows no bounds.

The plot itself takes a shift for the worse as Arnos begins to discover the true reasons behind the manipulation of history when he was gone. That, by itself, is only at the beginning.

Heh, the OP song sang by Arnos's VA though this episode, I'd say it ain't all that close to CIVILIAN's style, but it's all good.

What an episode though. As tired by the cliches and all, I'm very thoroughly impressed.

It really happened, the fifteenth birthday, as I said before. The miracle that happened between Misha and Sasha. After all the demon is the best. It was a amazing magic, Sasha could do magic like that I thought it was awesome, somehow called it. Isn't Anos taking sides with Misha a bit, lol.

The reason behind Sasha's actions was just to save Misha as expected but Anos overturned that thinking

I wonder how far does Anos' OPness reach. Even a God is nothing much

All I can say is wow, this was fucking epic. Amazing episode. “No, being me is being Demon King” gave me chills.

Anos can literally defeat time, he’s so OP and broken but it’s awesome

I can’t decide who I like more between Misha and Sasha, I’m pretty sure it’s a dead tie, I normally hate tsunderes, but Sasha is really likeable for some reason.

Loved the little ring he gave Misha at the end too. Can’t wait for next ep.

A happy ending. Now that's something I wanted to see.

Anos is just too OP that even the guardian of time is nothing for him. Him taking down Ivis was awesome to see.

I wonder who is impersonating the Anos. I'm curious to learn more about that.

I believe in Lord Anos! Hot damn this show gets better every week! I seriously enjoy the hell out of this. My mind was racing during the beginning of the episode. learning about Sasha and Misha backstory made me tear up. Sasha reasoning for why she was mean to Misha makes so much sense! In the most tragic was possible, broke my heart how Sasha wanted Misha to live instead of her. willing to give up her life so Misha could have her own. So beautiful, selfish sacrifice like that always gets me. I really love those two as characters. They've both grown so much even in this short time, coming to trust Anos and stand behind him in true belief.

The action this episode I gotta say was great. Anos taking on the literal God of time who used Ivis as a vessel was dope. Each episode Anos gets cooler and cooler, his nonchalant attitude always gives me a smile. Like he takes it seriously but still knows he's gonna win cause he's the demon king. Utter confidence in his own abilities. Favorite line is when he explains what makes a demon king. Not power or status or anything dumb like that, Anos being Anos is what makes the demon king who he is. Idk if I've ever seen that in this type of show.

The battle to end this initial arc was awesome! Anos pulling out his demon sword looked dope. Killing him of course wouldn't be enough and stopping time of course not enough to stop him. Love his attitude in those moments. Being all like come on did think that was it. Now that Anos has saved the ladies and proven to one other elder demon kings who he really is its time to investigate who this Avos person is and what they're planning.

Good episode again.

A little out there in terms of solution to the twin/fusing sources problem but I guess it makes sense. I'm curious how strong the Gods are, why didn't the God of Time want to fight Anos himself? I'm also curious if the Gods would recognize Anos for who he is since the realms were split off. There might have been an error in the demon realm's history with Anos's name but surely there should be someone in the other realms who remember him.

Misha and Sasha believing in Anos was pretty nice.

Anos is way too OP, he just wrecked the "fake" Ivis. I also gotta say that Anos's charisma is really carrying his OP protagonist trope for me.
I don't think I followed exactly what happened to Ivis, so he was killed and his source was fused with some other kind of demon and then ripped of his memories? Does that sound right?

Final shot with Misha smiling was so wholesome.
Sasha being flustered after Anos gave Misha the ring that was great too.

This episode was honestly weird for me personally. Why? Cause while I can find a reason to commend the attempt for decent pathos, it just felt too fabricated, especially when Anos is like the "all-solution" keypoint of the series. That's why I can't have positive impressions of the current dynamics between the main characters.

"Did you really think that killing me would be enough to make me die" : well mate, normally that indeed does the job

Loved this episode, I blinked & noticed almost all the 24 minutes were overpassed. Seems like a traitor or a 3rd party person made a mess 2000 years ago : we're slowly getting a glimpse of what happened previously. But for now, the two sisters are safe & alive, with a new saviour/protector who's always their friend.

I didn't bought Sasha's drama since she's a very bad actress, oh well as long as we're over this hullabaloo.

I like this Demon King, he can f*ck with the gods, even time itself but he's taken this very long and arduous way but it is his way no less... to get back his power (magical power which he didn't seem to have lost it actually), title (well there can only be one!) and authority (only because the entire Demonkind is looking at the wrong direction) by just being himself, heck he defined the Demon King as him being himself, and he seems to be enjoying it along the way!

The first part was so obvious... I could see it from miles. Maybe not the exact wat it's done, but still. About the later part... I pretty lost it. I think this time thing was the one who was controlling the body rather than Ivis, though he talked as Ivis. Or maybe someone else.

I don't know it to continue or not, as it feels like everything is solved too easily and all supposedly thrilling stuff is quite obvious. And the man who saves the damsels in distress (Yeah, I know they're not powerless, but in front of an OP like that, what more can they be?). But maybe the mystery of what happened can be interesting enough, who knows..

It was cool but I laughed a bit all the same.

For the show itself, I still don't know what to think, seems like a very long introduction and no real plot so far, not sure what to expect later on. The way Anos is so op can get boring very quickly, I'm afraid.

Anos chadness is so completely over the top that I cannot help but enjoy this. His combination of swag and having the show not taking itself so seriously makes it such a relaxing watch. I

You would have expected for Anon there at the end to take the two ladies to a secluded place and have his way with them, but nope, our demon lord is a good wholesome lad who always takes people home to enjoy his momma's delicious cooking.

I really like Anos he isn't your usual wimp who just got lucky to be op or someone too op who acts all smug and full of himself, bored of everyone's attempts, he just ask for the respects he deserves and as long as you are cool with it he can help you change destiny or to get a good grade on your test, whatever, it was specially funny that final bit "yeah I have changed timelines and shit but I never got a good grade" lol, he still finds pleasure with the simple things in life.

Man, that was great! This show is so much fun.

Anos is such an awesome and likeable character :D

I like that Sasha's bitchness towards Misha was not out of resignation, accepting her fate and making it less painful for Misha as I thought, but that it was an important part of her plan to save her.

Hard to pick a best girl. On one hand there is Misha who is an absolute angel and who even got a ring on the right finger. But on the other hand there is Sasha who is such a cute tsundere and I love my tsunderes... and I love that she keeps insisting that it was a kiss between friends xD.

Anos singing the OP hahahahah.

I don't know about this adaptation, the whole Sasha-Misha drama feels like something that should have come in at a later date and to put it in now feels rushed with maybe the best of the story past and done.

Even though the fight with time itself looked really great, it's too big to not have serious consequences. I hope to see what happens with this later on.


I noticed that the OP was sung by Anos's seiyu. That was a nice touch, but I wonder if it means anything serious. I'll need to see more of the show to know.

Pretty great episode! I just don't get tired of Anos pulling anything overpowered out of his bag of tricks, that being said, some of his powers are incredible!! To overcome even stopped time is pretty impressive!

Loved the magic being used today, just looked amazing in some scenes! Action between Ivis and Anos was pretty great too!!

Now I can say for certain, I am pretty much sold on these sisters, they both cute as fuck!!!

People: We want an anime with a badass op chara.
Also People: The Protagonist is way too powerful! And we like it! o3o

This whole thing feel like a prologue after seeing ep 2 where link to all the realms get cut off.

Light Novel peeps, does this series ever get to the point where the Demon, Human, Spirit and Godly realms clash at each other again? Like for example, human realms go invade both god/demon realms and a war broke out again similar to Rage of Bahamut.

The OP nice guy is back at it again...still with barely any personality

The scene where Sasha was casting the spell was kinda cool, since it was really nicely animated. I felt like Sasha loving Misha all along was a cheap way to avoid having to write a long-term conflict though.

I think I need to take a step back and try and let myself go while watching this. I'm admittedly taking this a bit too seriously...but also the show is trying to be serious so I want to give it the intended respect.

Wanna stick with this until the end though, since I hope it will get better.

This has the same energy as artists saying non-artists can't criticize their craft. I think if you've consumed enough media, you can generally pick up on what's good, layered writing, and what's really bad.

There would've been much better ways for main dude to say "ah you can't kill me"

I would have enjoyed the whole Sasha wants to save Misha ordeal if there wasn't the 'I hate you, now we are suddenly besties, now I'll betray you before you disappear' part in the previous 2 episodes. Simply having Sasha hate on Misha until this reveal would have been better imo.

But minor details aside, it was a fun episode. Misha is so adorbs :3 Looking forward to more new characters.
