Now the title comes into effect. Leo is technically Quitting Heroing to extract vengeance on the Human race to which he can eventually fix. Giving him reason for living but now Echidna and the crew need to stop him. Actually makes so much damn sense and I think that's great writing.

That episode was powerful. I thought the Discussion with Echidna and Leo up the peak was really well done. And then Leo basically turning heel to see if they are worthy was pretty damn cool. That ending music was fire.

Need to know that song.

Damn,that went south fairly quickly!!
Really loved this ep,from Leo's reveal right through to Leo's challenge!!
Have to say I wasn't really expecting him to be the final boss,but it was really well done!

Funny to see how Leo and Echidna got along so well after Leo revealed his identity even if it was just for a short moment. Her reaction after the reveal was amusing and expected considering she has been fooled by him and the other Generals for quite some time.

The conversation Leo had with Echidna was compelling and foreshadowing the plot twist at the end. I understood that Leo fears he will eventually lose his mind because he is trapped in the perpetrual cycle of protecting humans, while waiting for another catastrophe to repeat that process and that he cannot escape it because of the programming he received, but why would he suddendly threaten to whipe out humanity? Is it because he wants to plunge the world into chaos so that he can "save" it since this is his only original purpose?

Anyways, the episode ends on a big cliffhanger and I'm thrilled for the next one to find out how the others will deal with Leo.

man that was a cool Twist.. BUT, for me LEO is the show, I really do like Echidna and have liked her more and more, but if they kill him and then it's just them, it's going to be jumping the shark for me. Not only is he a great character, great voice actor, but his power, his back story and lore they could explore is FAR more interesting.

What I want more than anything is for Leo to find out there is more DH series, or a new version that the humans are going to use to wipe out the Demons and he HAS to fight on there side. It was fun seeing him fight robots but I want to see him challenged and get a T-800 vs T-1,000 situation

When someone lost his purpose, He can do anything to find a new purpose. Leo lost his purpose if the world becomes peaceful, then He will become the evil one to make humans think that they need him as a hero. But how can He become a Hero if the hero itself becomes the evil one? That's why Echidna the Demon Queen must fight the Leo (Real Hero) to become a hero for humanity and bright out the peace. Then what will happen to Leo? Must He sacrifice himself to realize all of that? It was really sad if that happen...

I don't want Leo to die, I'd rather see him go to the demon world together with them but that seems impossible if they want the philosopher's stone.

The ED really slaps btw.

So Onyx a.k.a Leo is finally integrated into Echidna's Demon Lord army, but that Last Supper symbolism with the cast's omission means that they must act fast to progress to commit to their objective of claiming the Philosopher's Stone before the humans do.

But disbanding the Generals at this stage seems like a hard-fast difficult decision for Echidna to even mention, and Leo choosing to reveal himself to her now at this stage with the other Generals looking onward is also a decision not taken lightly. It may look like a case of deception, and that definitely infuriated Echidna to be fooled by Leo's tomfoolery with the other Generals benefitting from Leo's inclusion, he's definitely the Rejected Hero whom Rebuilt the Demon Lord's Army.

To pass the torch from human to demon, both Leo and Echidna defintely got well with each other (I might as well think of them like a potential ship) for an unlikely fate. Unlike an actual human, Leo acts like a robot, yet talks like a human, only to serve commands and be withdrawn when humanity has no longer any need in it until to unleash chaos, and restart the cycle over and over again.

To think that Leo himself is a Philosopher Stone, to kill him would be asinine, but given that he's a bioweapon made to save the world, that really makes sense at the end of the journey. To save the world by killing humanity, what a twist to have the character roles be twisted and have Leo be the final boss.

Makes you think that this journey is not just for naught.

When this episode dropped I already guessed that Leo had the philosopher stone as his heart. I was 3-4 episodes in when I made that assumption.

The anime’s story line is very well done but a tad predictable or at least gives pretty good hints about Leo having the philosopher stone in his possession before episode 9.

Goddamn, it's honestly not that surprising given what we've seen so far of Leo's life, but it's just executed so well, it's great. Well, his actions are not that surprising, but I didn't expect the philosopher's stone to literally be powering him. So if there's 2 philosopher's stone, I am guessing there's an intact body of a demonheart series member somewhere or they just took it out of the body.

I just realized as well as I am typing this that they're called demonheart, and where's the philosopher's stone? Yeah, exactly lmao.

I am glad the new ED is not just a 1 time thing too, cause it's a fucking banger. Can't wait for the next episode.

Wow really not expecting Leo also owned the stone as his heart. Ed change now makes so much damn sense. The stone is actually an Akashic engine and its also have the manual book of it. So to make everything worse, the situation getting dire for the demon side, when the portal slowly close itself. There's no time to waste to get the stone on the city. Because Leo was there to giving the most fastest solution to ever make.

Now choose what's better, Echidna...

Can't believe all of this just happened in a single episode!
-portal closing
-Leo reveals his identity
-Leo shows the place of the magic stone
-Leo tells Echidna to kill him to reach her goal as he completed his mission

Damn! The whole ending was insane, and the music made everything much more tragic and traumatic. But we'll see, i feel like only Echidna can "save" him.

I've been warming up to Echidna ever since the first episode, but will she get the coveted title of being Star's waifu? Her development has been consistently good.

Anyway, what a plot twist!~ Leo is the final boss! If they want the Philosopher's Stone, they have to kill him! And like in the Pokémon games, Can't escape! This has been a role reversal if I've seen one.

That ED is a smash hit!

HOLY DAMN!!!!! Such a good episode! That ending with the music swelling up and Leo's plot twist were perfect!

I LOVE how Leo has twisted this for him to become the villain. I love this type of drama that makes everyone concerned for the MC. The build up for that scene was soooo good as well. Echidna's puzzled and cautious expression as Leo explains more and more then turning around with that twist. SO GOOD!!

Leo is such an interesting MC. He has the appearance of a generic isekai MC but he's one of the most interesting MCs I've seen.

Can't wait to see the next episode and Leo threatening humanity.

I'm extremely puzzled about low score of this series which seems to drop further as time goes.


I don't! Because I know why the score keeps going down, fyi I did my part to help out by giving it a score of 2.
Now let me explain why, you see I and many, many folks around the world watch anime, play videos games etc to escape for a while RL. I don't know if you have noticed but right now RL is a little bit of a b!tch/full on woke bs and all the pandering to certain demographics isn't helping at all, I and many more saw that pandering in episode 8
and said, nah fam not on my watch and decided to send a clear message to the maker of this show that woke bs doesn't belong in anime and we gave this show what it deserved, a low score.
Now if episodes 10/11/12 keep up the same quality has the last two I may end up giving the show a 3 or even maybe a 4. Let's see what happens.

Looks like I was right all along back in an earlier episode of Leo talking about the stone.

There are multiple Philosopher's stone, and apparently Leo was able to survive the previous Demon Invasion (while all other super Humans and previous Human world/ Tech is destroyed) is due to Leo being fused with the philosopher's stone.

Not to mention the stone is just advanced science that can be mass produced... that's if they still had previous world tech, which is all but gone... (only the stone left)

___ ___ ___

Echidna is actually pretty cute, wise and caring, she would give up on the invasion so that no more Demons will be hurt and unable to get back home. While having a chance of losing her throne to one of the other Demon Lords.

She was in so much shock after Leo's reveal, LOL

___ ___ ___

TBH... I really hope this series doesn't end with Leo literally sacrificing himself and dying so the Demon world can be reborn... but then again... that's the plot most past series with this type of scenario used... so it probably will be used again.

And then we got epic ED just as Leo hypes up the battle to fight him.

Oh damn that end, the 2nd stone is actually Leo's heart and they need to kill him to get it :o At least he could finally reveal himself to Echidna but now that the portal between human and demon world is almost closed they really need that stone otherwise they'll be locked here, but I doubt that they'll take Leo's heart for sure

Finally is Leo going to expose himself to Echidna, also little Shutina and Echidna are so cute they're learning how to take over the world one little step at a time

Bro got stunlocked thinking Leo can't be Onyx her reaction was so blank and slow

I was afraid it has come to this but It's been like that from the start or Leo has been like that from the start now how will this story end 3 episodes to go from this to god knows where.
