| Lol, Emi always draws her sword when she's angry. However in this case, she's also protecting Alas Ramus. This episode also shows how powerful Alas Ramus can be when she's angry. She is very protective of her new parents. I wish the animation of the fight was better though..as the chereography looked lazy compared to the previous season. Glad they got her back. |
 |
| Gabriel and his archangels have sought for Alas Ramus, and this is an emergency enough to put Maou, Emi and Co. on guard, except to make sure Chiho is avoided as a 3rd party of sorts. This unfortunately also means that Alas Ramus a.k.a Yesod the 9th sephira, birthed from the Tree of Life that is Sephiroth (something like your usual horoscope kinda things), it's like God bringing down His judgment, but based on one child that got loose descending down towards Earth. And this means that both Maou and Emi are sharing a room for the night together with Alas Ramus, and they really act like parents towards the unknown child that is of their utmost importance from the enemy. I'd like to think that this is where the Maou X Emi ship actually got its base even if there're hints in Season 1 and the LN. Pretty sly for Gabriel to show up covertly in their house to claim either Emi's scared Yesod sword or Alas Ramus, but Maou has an even better plan: use himself as a sacrifice to spare both. And what Alas Ramus did...most certainly is a child in rightful anger issues powered by magic, while the adults have their usual memorable battles...if only not stifled by the limited animation on the action. Alas Ramus definitely got swiped away by Gabriel from the looks of it, but thankfully she's fine...by integrating herself into Emi's Yesod sword and armour. Though the mystery of what Gabriel told her definitely is this fact, but to bring the Demon King's Second Coming of Calamity onto Earth, if this happened, it will be worse than the entrety of Ente Isla's war. Yeah...the animation already fell apart on the action, which looks hideous at best. But sadly even if we called White Fox back, they're not the same now, compared to back in 2013. |

| How sweet for Emilia and Maou sleeping together with Alas Ramus. As usual, Gabriel's personality is quite amusing. I hope it will never change. Alas Ramus using her powers huh. Quite fantastic. Maou getting depressed after Alas Ramus disappeared... I feel for ya, but she's back so yeah. Cannot wait for the next episode. |
 |
| this episode looked terrible |
  |
| this episode almost had me crying đź’€ |
 |
| My eyes genuinely hurt the entire episode from the ass animation. I firmly believe that Season 2 should have never come out unless White Fox animated it. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| I'm terribly disappointed. What's with the nosedive in quality? The episode makes my eyes hurt. |
~ May all the beauty be blessed ~ |
| Okay let me get this out of the way since its the only bother...ehem damn that animation is fucked and shit, my goodness. Alright and with that out of the way, I guess things happened in this episode. Aww look at them three looking like a family, Maou telling a "revised story of his" to our cutie child, and though Emi is reluctant as always, they did had a nice sleep...just in time for Gabriel to sneak in. He is powerful, it's just that Emilia is weak which kinda make it one-sided, also is Maou thinking alright by making him the sacrifice, I mean it was a nice offer but Alas Ramus was just beside you. And though this whole fiasco is unresolved, Emi did get that warning and she got her daughter as a sword...ngl that made me laugh, I guess that upcoming Sword Isekai anime is not original after all. But hey it's important that the child is safe and for now we all are at peace. And then Mitsuki came in with the spoiler that I already know, thanks you obese bastard. Anyways aside from the you-know-what in my first paragraph, this ep is good, and when Lucifer came out with that taunt to Gabriel's henchmen, that made it more legit. |

|
| It's a real shame that the animation is THIS terrible. |
| lmao Emilia's sword is basically only for show at this point and holy what happened to the production during this fight, I don't know what that was but it still was a good episode in my opinion. At least my boy Ashiya got some more screen time, that's all I care about honestly and he delved more into the Demon side of the invasion which is more interesting than what's going on now. Bedtime story was the highlight of the episode though and bruh Dio I mean Gabrielle appearing out of now where made me laugh.  |

| So much for saving Alas Ramus, she ended up saving them instead. I'm glad she wasn't taken away and is still with them. So the one who stole Yesod was Emilia's mother. |
 |
| Holy fuck, I'm not usually someone who pays much attention to bad animation, but this episode was horrible to look at. It felt like the faces were off-model far more often than they were actually correct. If things are looking this bad by episode 4, I can't say I have the best of hopes for the production's future. Oh, and Alas Ramus' name is still annoying. |
 |
| Plot was decent today, some interesting world building things particularly with emilia’s mother being the original one to steal Yesodd. But so man missed frames and rough animation today. Really tough to watch. |
 |
| 40 seconds in episode and my first thought was wtf happened to their faces? Are they facing production issues? Tf were those faces. It sure had a bad impact on my enjoyment. The night-time story part was cute also the ending part was good. Liked the Alas Ramus fight scene. I knew Alas Ramus will come to rescue at the end and that's what happened, didn't expect her to become part of Emi's blade and armour. 3/5. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Must be a tense time for them given whats going to happen in the morning. Its always fun to see Emi be surprised at seeing how much Maou has changed as a result of his experiences here. It was cute seeing the three sleep together like a family. Gentlemen or not appearing like that sure is creepy of Gabriel. Alas Ramus repelling Gabriel was hillarious. Though brief its nice to see Emi take to the field. Its good that Alas Ramus wasn't taken though its curious that she's always going to be with Emi now as part of her gear. Though Gabriel may be repelled for now going forward looks like Emi has some things to figure out. |

| That was a nice action and and emotional episode. Emilia slept with maou between alas ramus cute. So Emilia must be the one to prioritize what matters more. Glad Alsa ramus came back. |

| I'm more or less used to this artstyle so it didn't bother me much but the fights still looked pretty awkward. Apart from that, its fine. |
 |
| that pre-OP scene was just depressing to watch. the drawing on the eyes was just painful... Also nice post-credit scene, hope people don't skip on that. |
| It really annoys me when little bitch says how her Papa and Mama should love each other forever, Maou being her Papa is somewhat understandable but it makes absolutely no sense with Emi as her Mama. |
 |
| “I don’t get it. Boil it down to like, three sentences.” Lol Lucifer. I really relate to that lazy NEET. Although the way he handled those angels reminds you just who Lucifer is. So is Alas Ramus like a fruit that’s part of the Tree or Life? Like the embodiment of Yesod? I guess if that’s the case, Gabriel does kinda have a point for the sake of the balance of the world. But “If” though. I also didn’t think Emi’s sword was made of a shard of Yesod too. But man, Alas Ramus was so cute snuggled between Maou and Emi! That bed time story was totally about Maou right? Him and Emi really were like a family for one night. It was pretty cute! Gabriel had to show up and ruin everything but Alas sure whooped his smug little ass. Emi was great too! Didn’t think Alas Ramus would become part of Emi’s gear. Glad she’s safe for now! After this week, I got lots of questions though. What’s the legend about King Satan and what’s that whole calamity thing? What happened to the rest of the Yesod things that Emi’s mom stole and why did she steal them in the first place? And what’s Gabriel’s actual game? Dude is definitely up to no good. |
| So people are now noticing the bad animation lol what did you guys expect? It was already trash in the sol scenes there was no way its not gonna get worse when an action scene happens. Enjoy the "modern anime artstyle" lmao |

| A third rate studio will be a third rate studio, so no surprises here. Anyways atleast the deal with that Gabriel guy is over for now, and they left us with some huge revelation too. So fine I guess. |
 |
| the animation in this episode was pretty horrible, especially during the entire gabriel confrontation sequence. not only was the art style changed but it looked like someone produced this episode using capcut and imovie. unfortunate, i thought the animation was decent this season up until now and i was just getting used to the new art style too. |
| Faces and animation were horrible even outside the fight scene, which seems to be the only thing people is focusing on. The story is subpar in comparison with S1 which was simpler but worked well with what it had, so what could make the animation stay aside can't hold it. 9 years for this, could someone that read the source material confirm me if Alas Ramus is here to stay? |
| Waifus only represent ideals |
| Still enjoyed the episode but still, can't lie to myself the terrible animation really distracting me to enjoy it fully. Seems like the budget went down pretty fast.. |
 |
| My reaction to this episode: |
 |
Shinuki_n_Reborn said: Dont watch the show, just went to watch the episode to see if was really bad and man, anime fans like always stupidly overreacting like the world is ending, outside the clear off model faces here and there it was a perfectly well watchable anime, saw like dozen of way cheaper looking anime than this xD It's not even that though... the source material was frankly bad and White Fox did miracles with S1 (and this was their peak era with shows like Steins;Gate). Of course from the PV I knew this was going to suck but nobody listens to me these days do they. |
| |
| THIS SUCKS. satan was very epic and stronk last season, but this season he's pretty pathetic and i feel like the story is getting unnecessarily complicated |
 |
| This one went by really fast for me, while there were some animation and art hiccups the fight did look nice and it was nice to see the gang fighting again, Gabriel has also been a fun villain so far, I’m really enjoying his remarks and personality lol. And it appeared Alas Ramus was gone but she actually became Emi Yusa’s sword, who woulda thought lol. And it looks like Gabriel is in cahoots with the KFC guy, interesting plot we got here. I’ll also say I enjoyed seeing Maou get so emotional over Alus Ramus, he really got attached to that ray of sunshine. And wow, people are losing their minds over the animation it seems, I didn’t think it looks as bad as y’all are saying lol. |

| Animation is literally melting. WTF |
 |
| Ahhh man, it's so lovely seeing Emi, Sadao, and Alas Ramus together and the story Maou told was really nice. Finally some real action this season, there was a certain charm to it from the last season and I'm glad that it's still here. |
| I have to praise those who were able to watch this and take it seriously with this terrible animation...Good gravy |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| Alas Ramus is so unnatural. Maybe it's the animation but her lack of movement until the "be cute now" button is pushed is creepy. You can replace her with a doll! That fight scene though. New lows... |
 |
| I defended the last 3 episodes because it has redeeming qualities such as good humor and whatnot, but this episode is just infuriatingly bad. The pacing, the animation, the drawing, all bad. No funny humor to back it up either. 3/5. |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
| I don't like where this is going. 2/5. |
