| Man, this episode just gives off an ominous vibe. The storytelling and lore with Reno being part of the focus is chilling enough. But more so, this whole drama between humans and demons seems to have no end. Also noticable is the coloring of this episode that contrasts with others. What an ending, damn. |
 |
| So Reno finally confesses her feelings onto Shin. The colors and format of this episode was kinda chilling and added on to the eeriness of this episode. Seeing how Shin has changed, Reno realizes she loves him, and proposes marriage to him! Aharthern is abuzz with excitement over their wedding ceremony. Meanwhile, the day of Shin's reincarnation, who has done his duty, is also approaching. Wow. Just Wow. Had to rewatch just to dissect everything and it was worth it. Although we have only been following them for a while, I feel connected to Reno and Shin and feel bad for my boy Shin. Fuck NousGalia. All my homies hate NousGalia. The way the entire episode was locked into 21:9 ratio and went into 16:9 at the end was beautiful showing how Shin’s love was restricted like the ratio, and when he finally feels like he’s a real person and feels love towards Reno as her demise comes, the ratio is also gone back to normal and is free and not restricted to the black lines. Beautiful ass episode man. With now having thë knowledge of the past, it’s up to our present heroes to finish what was started a millennia ago |

| 00:15 Aharthern is the Great Spirit Forest Aharthern where Leno and Shin are. Thanks wiki. They sailed! Leno🤝Nasa *Getting married right away* Daaamn that aspect ratio change was really cool. This whole scene is really nice. What are they gonna do now that they know Misa's origins? Also where is Shin right now? Really looking forward to it. |
 |
| They ruined this anime just like the pacific ocean. |
 |
| Man!!! Damm it!!! Ending was heart breaking 💔. Ruined like a cards castle |
| “ I love you enough for both of us” damn they really cooked with this episode. The best Maou Gakuin has been in a long time. The letterbox effect and black and white aesthetic really added to the drama. Seeing Leno and Shin gradually fall in love, get married, conceive a child and even come up with a plan to meet in the future only to have it ruined by Nousgalia is just heartbreaking. For a “heavenly God” he’s more of a demon than anyone in the story. Shin was even willing to betray Anos for Leno, there’s no way that wasn’t real love. When we first met him during this flashback, he wouldn’t even speak or move unless it was an order. Leno taught him not just about love, but that it’s ok for him to exist. To think, have emotions, be himself, etc. just as he’d reached that point it was snatched away. Think the girls’ crying reaction is all of us after that episode. Time to take the fight to Nousgalia. |

| A very sweet and tragic story of love... I was kind of expecting that ending for them, but I still cried a little. The best episode of this season so far I think. I hope the end of the season will bring us a good ending :) |
| Strangely enough, I'm not at all surprised or saddened by what I've seen, because I think everyone expected it, but more importantly. could someone explain to me why she died and am I the only one who doesn't understand this story when I watch it, is the source material really like this! xD every time I see Reno I feel like someone is going to come out of nowhere and stab her, and broke every 2 min!!! AAAAH oups 🤦♂️ |

| What an episode, I love it when it is monochrome / grayscale with a hint of colors to emphasize something and they did a great job with it, I specially liked right at the very end when Leno was touching her belly and there was a bit of color but then it was all gone when Nosgalia showed up. I'm not going to lie, they almost made me cry. The show has gotten so much better after the "break". |

She’s the mother of all pure spirits and she gave birth to half demon so that betrayed her lore.

| @Mattinator95 I don't get how that contradicts her lore, if she is the mother of all spirits, she is also the mother of half ones by that logic. |
| i really enjoyed this episode so many things to say |

| Holy shit, I teared up. This was defo worth waiting half a year for. Damn them feels. Peak anime story telling right here |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Who will like this episode are the crybaby react youtubers haha. Jokes aside, great episode, this season is much more interesting than the first. 🍷🗿 |
 |
| Well I definitely wasn’t expecting this twist but I feel like I should have lol, so Misa aka Avos is Shin and Leno’s kid and they sent her to the future so she could live after Nous Galia forced Leno to give birth to her, this god really is a true blue asshole lol, it’s a damn shame what happened to these two but now we know the truth, I wonder how they plan to deal with Misa now, and also how there’s a Leno in the present unless I’m wrong about the person that’s definitely not her being her lol. And I’m ngl I wasn’t the biggest fan of having most of the episode devoid of color, the whole time we’ve been in the past it has had color so it didn’t make much sense to me why it doesn’t have any all the sudden, I get it could be to set the tone but I felt it would have been better with color for consistency sake. That being said tho, I loved the moment when the color returned after Leno died at the end, I had a feeling that might happen at some point and it was done very nicely. |
| You've got three episodes to fix this tragic drama, Anos! |
| I can’t lie I’m starting to enjoy misfit of the demon king academy again. I was a bit confused this episode because I was getting misha and misa mixed up because of there names being so similar. But I cleared the confusion up by checking there names on mal. So avos (misa) is meant to be the child of Leno and shin if I’m not mistaken. |

| But if I've understood correctly, it's that in fact, she would still have disappeared whether there was the event of the attack or not, it's sad! |
| Fuck, this episode was beautiful. Say whatever you want about the pacing overall for this season, but I definitely loved Leno and Shin's story and it's easily the best part of the season so far, dare I say the whole series. I always like it when shows uses 21:9 aspect ratio and they made this episode black and white, to top it off, they did it for more impact with Shin at the end, bringing back the colors and the normal aspect ratio, let's not forget the ballad version of Esoa as well, shit got me emotional. Nousgalia better get the best ass whooping I'll ever see by the end of this season. Now if you'll excuse me, I will be listening to Esoa, the normal and ballad version for a while. |
 |
| Leno and Shin's story was tragic and beautiful. Made me teared up at the end. I feel like this episode reminds me of how good this anime was. Let's see how it goes. |
 |
| This is the only episode where I can confidently say managed to be on par with S1. I hope it keeps it up from here on out |

@TheColonel76 based on information provided. It's Fran, love spirit. But it's has a power to lend physical bodies to the dead. But they lost their memories, only with true love they can remember and conveys those memories. So sometimes in the next couple episode, i bet it's gonna turn to Leno. That's why this girl right now seem lost.
| @LittleBoss69 Understandable, I figure we’ll probably see it happen soon too |
| ohh whole ep of Asumi Kana's voice *_* |

| You're crying, I'm not crying... |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| An part happy part sad episode, damn... Why can't they just let my favorite fictional characters to be happy? |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
