Ha, this show/episode really wants Max and Maou to bond more with their latest trip. Hot springs and table tennis...lol, typical anime tropes. Max's diguise this episode looked silly. 

On the more slightly serious side, there's also some drama between the Kingdom and Republic. We really can't have an episode in this show without drama these days.

Leo finally met max and leo is still strong as before but same applies to max. And looks like between the demon lord and the hero looks like something is blooming but not 100% sure about that.

Man, this honeymoon episode felt too short, I need more episode of Max and Maou just flirting around. Despite the obvious budget constraints, the action animation was quite impressive. Bonus points for the sound design, especially the faltering background music when Leo still couldn't recognize Max – that was great. And the ghost at the end? Just hilarious

It was a good blend of comedy and romance or something. I felt "Urusei Yatsura" vibes.

Interesting (and kind achill/funny) episode seeing more of the conflict.

In the manga, the sex of the maou was never mentioned. It could be male, female, or no gender. I consider maou more of a loli tbh.

So Leo appears to be more brawn than brains as even without the disguise he couldn't figure out it was Max he was fighting until Maou blurted it out lol. But now that Leo knows that he encountered Max with a demon I'm sure he has questions so I'm thinking he may have his people (or he himself) pay Max a visit soon.

At this point I'm thinking Max may be forced to pick a side but he, with Maou's help, may figure out a diplomatic solution but probably not before more fights/violence.

No fanservice but the fight scenes and animation made it up. That it took Leo so long to finally realise it was Max was pretty funny.

I've never witnessed such an intense game of ping pong before. Lol.

The moment the petite Demon Lord emerged from the shower in his tiny demon form provided quite the amusing spectacle. Max seemed to have anticipated catching a glimpse of the Demon Waifu, but luck wasn't on his side, it seems.

The individual with the sharpshooter fingers demonstrates notable skill, yet he pales in comparison to Leo and his Tarzan-like agility. Leo's initial failure to recognize Max due to his outrageous disguise adds an element of humor. Those two possess remarkable strength. Despite Max's seemingly unfit appearance, his abilities are still intact.

The ghost's envy of the camaraderie between Max and the Demon Lord adds a humorous touch. I'm intrigued and eager to learn more about her backstory.

The look of disappointment on Max’s face when he walked into the shower expecting Mali’s JK form only to get loli maou 😂

Another really fun episode. Personally would’ve liked to have seen more episodes in this vacation arc. It’s really cool to see a post fantasy adventure world with modern technology and stuff. Exploring the border between the two countries was nice.

Leo still not recognising Max is pretty hilarious. Only one person alive would be able to hold his own against Leo like that and he still ain’t get it Lmao.

Criminally underrated show.

Yay Capybaras! Onsen seen was pretty funny. Ghost girl got hurt and it compelled her to speak...well mutter.

Another funny episode, pretty underrated show 

Also find it funny how they have modern amenities such as cars, multi-story buildings, TV, internet etc, but the kingdom's army has a commander dressed in a WW2 era looking uniform, and the troops are firing 19th century (Magic) cannons and dressed like they came back from a crusade an hour ago. It's like that one unit in a game of CIV you forgot to upgrade.

Ouuuuuuh I like this line



Ofcourse she's my wife (gonna be) and no way I'm giving her to you. I know I'm the hero who killed the demon lord but now I love her. Even if you're my friend you'll face consequences.
That's everything this line means (>_<)

This show really reminds me of the stuff they would play on toonami when I was a kid. It’s familiar but it’s not the same story in the same repackaged fantasy world. I’m having fun!

Pretty sure the wikia says he's a dude, read this:
Level 1 Demon Lord and One Room Hero Wiki

Also this from chapter 1 implies he he is still male, though it's not direct, anyone can read in-between:

Yes and that's just it, unless they cleared things up in one of the newer chapters "implications" that can be interpreted either way are all we have thus far. Max asked about it back when they were at the mall but Maou gave an inconclusive answer and that's pretty much it.

Wouldn't you say unless they say he's female now he is automatically still male? If as you say it's hard to say for sure if he's male, then by not saying he's female, his previous gender is most definitely still the same, plus let's not pretend this isn't a DK trope in anime or manga, DKs always comeback same sex and in most cases same body.

the show keeps showing DK in a feminine way while he's basically a dude, like blushing and talking in a cute way or how he's interested in him as a person but nonchalantly showing feelings toward each other (no homo) and that can be described as bromance (still no homo though)

Whos DK? If you mean demon king I think your attempting to put human gender stereotypes on something supernatural which has no gender and can be what it wants to.

Demon King is the English translation of the Japanese word Maou and it's not a human gender stereotype whatsoever lmao, it's more of a demon's stereotype than anything else, and i specifically said no homo to specify they have no sexual feelings for each other no more no less, also i said DK because as far the manga and anime is concerned his gender is clearly being sided as male and if he was indeed female but looks like a child, why take a form of a female that looks nothing like him instead of changing into a a female that looks like him but older? the only reason he's dressed up as a girl is because of Zenia which she seems to have a fetish for children's outfits, it's obvious that she's a freak like that from her choice of clothes.

Whys everyone losing there mind in the forums then about gender identity? It just dosent feel right and takes away from the comedy aspect of the show. Im liking it, but im starting to lose it watching so many people obsessed with gender identity when its clearly a demon. Grrrr. Annoying. But you response is six stars out of five. I feel calmed

I'm glad we reached common grounds, I can't stand it when i see some ppl try to input "female" in Maou just because of his attire and demeanour, it's all a pseudo excuse to justify a romance they want that shouldn't even be there, they're pals, rivals even and they're anything but love interest to each other lol.
