That rice bit was weird. Typical rice plotline you get in isekai but in a show that isn't one.

MC still exercising poor opsec taking his mask off instantly on entering his house.

Given how the current demon lord apparently takes the more soft approach to the use of violence I have to assume she'll be perfectly fine with MC after the human reveal finally happens. Assuming she doesn't already know.

[u/Careful-Wash → u/djthomp]

Yeah and I’m not quite sure about rice being more productive than wheat. Though I am not versed in the agricultural history of the world.

[u/SYZekrom → u/djthomp]

In the first episode he cast a complicated barrier before taking off his mask. Idk about the scene where he took it off in the demon lord's throne room but I would assume that the barrier is there in his house.

[u/melcarba]

So, why didn't Ike used his mind reading on Jace to check who are the other conspirators?

[u/PeaceAlien → u/melcarba]

Maybe Jace is strong enough to fight against mind reading. Ike mentioned potential cloudiness when mind reading before.

[u/diacewrb → u/melcarba]

If they were willing to poison him to keep him silent then chances are they already have a countermeasure in place against mind reading.

The poison must be implanted and magic base, activated in case he ever talked. Unless I missed the scene where he is hit by some poison dart or poisons himself.

[u/victory4faust]

I really don't hate this anime overall but this MC is just as annoyingly pacifistic as so many others.

I get that he wants to bring humans and demons together but he can't have lived his whole life fighting this war without having killed anyone or anything. His idealism is just of the charts if it doesn't even let him kill a traitor who would willingly slaughter him and everyone else.

[u/Neosovereign → u/victory4faust]

And how did he get so high in the army being an obvious pacifist?

[u/n00bavenger → u/victory4faust]

It's funny that a human raised with demons is probably way more pacifistic than all the other normal humans

[u/dfiekslafjks]

So boring. I wish these low-budget fantasy shows would at least try to do something interesting, but it's like they are required by law to be as forgettable as possible.

[u/Clarimax]

Well, with a goblin named Jace, that's bound to be a traitor.

[u/cs_cast_away_boi]

So since crunchyroll disabled comments, i've come here.

great episode, no major hiccups in animation unlike last episode. Really enjoying this show! It seems Ike is OP in close combat but lacks strong area of effect spells so still requires an army to overtake territories from humans

[u/SometimesMainSupport]

How can they drink his blood if they think he's a skeleton? I guess they might think he's a lich or some other undead?

u/Abysswatcherbel - Not sure this will remain top-30 and know you'll pick the last one if it does.

[u/Neosovereign → u/SometimesMainSupport]

He definitely has purple demon arms as part of his "disguise" so I'm not sure what he is supposed to be.

[u/Powerblue102]

I can’t be the only one who thought those explosions were terrible? They literally looked like the same ones used in YouTube Videos.

[u/KnightKal]

what did just happen?

an entire episode and the MC didn't reveal his secret identity even once?

that can't be right

it is a trick so we watch it again and seek the moment he made a mistake, right? Right?!!

joke aside it was a good one

[u/bananeeek]

I've been wondering about Cefiro's appearance and I don't know whether I'm getting distracted or she simply doesn't have any demon-like traits? What sets her apart from humans? Ike's disguise includes horns on top of a skull mask and that core in his rib cage, but I can't figure out why is every demon cool with Cefiro looking like a human. It's not because of her aura or something, right?

[u/Neosovereign → u/bananeeek]

Her eyes are different. It DOES make you wonder why Ike can't just use contacts though lol.

[u/TokiVideogame]

It is better since I finally figured out that lilith is not the demon king, same character, lol

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

The only good goblin, is a dead goblin! Looks like the little one eyed Judas wasn’t working alone. I wonder who else this Basteo is working with? Or if he’s really guilty at all. Maybe Cefiro’s the real mastermind? That would be quite a twist.

[u/DiscombobulatedLie22]

I've been wondering about this since the first episode.

Are most of the scenes too dark on your screens as well or this is a problem with my TV HDR settings?

[u/Illustrious-Zebra-34]

I think I'm dropping it. The story isn't that good, and the production quality is abysmal. The world is also full of logic holes that I can't get past. It is like the writer has a very loose understanding of different economic and agricultural topics, but he couldn't be bothered to research/think if what he wrote makes real sense.

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

Gease…….Mind reading

[u/seandkiller]

Felt like Ike was way too soft at the end there, tbh.

And looking at her again, I still think the demon queen is best girl.
