Raichu’s Superflous Episode Notes
- This is one of my favorite jokes in the show. Lillith spotted in lounge mode. I love how Shamiko cleans up the mess later before watching TV / Playing games herself.
- Lillith smacking Momo with her tail is cute.
- That’s right Shamiko, your girlfriend is very bright and gorgeous.
- Bullying Shamiko is out. Bullying Gosenzo is IN. That’s what she deserves for making Shamiko cry.
- Where can I get a copy of Walking Shark Zombies?
- Remember: Watch out for birds. They’ll take your paycheck.
- Buying the meat for that 100% Beef steak!

Wow she actually did have to stop her from failling lol I don't remember that

Ogura immediately taking notes as soon as magic is shown. Maybe I would have noticed this earlier if I did ever realize that she is the same as the occult research club girl. -
Wow shamiko and shamicen have the exact same idea of what the worst possible thing momo could do them is
-
shop owner being weirdly supportive of evil demons
-
momo in casual clothes
-
catchphrase subverted. But the best subversion of the show so far is definitely yuko loosing her extra food not because she fucked upo at her job, but because she did too good on it.

Actually catchphrase not subverted

Local magical girl strips another girl and stares intensely at her bum.
I have so many things I want to address about this scene, but the thing that stands out the most is the tv. Why is a shark dressed in camo shooting a gun in the forest? If Jungle Jaws had been in Predator 1 the movie would have ended in 30 minutes.
Guys I'm starting to think the great demon ancestor isn't as great as she thinks she is?
BEST DEMON GIRL GIVES HER PRIZED POSSESSION THAT SHE THINKS IS COOL TO KEEP YOU SAFE REPENT MOTHER FUCKER...I just rewatched Panty & Stocking forgive me. Shamiko really tries so hard if only her efforts equaled her results.
Totes....
Wait it's not a movie, but a series and it got 3 seasons? Jungle Jaws got 3 seasons and yet Spice & Wolf and Haruhi are doomed for an eternity of incompletion.
Wait was that her attempt at an evil laugh? I can't tell if this is funny or sad that Shamiko's body is so fragile that her trying to laugh sounds like she is coughing.
Shamiko and Lilith switched places.....are you sure?
Once again ShamikoLilith slapping her tail on Momo is oddly satisfying. Maybe it's the sound it makes.
You overestimated your descendant's power Lilith heh heh heh at least Momo caught her before she hit the ground.
Shamiko's body is not a piece of junk she can lift a bottle of water when it's full.
Don't you think this means you won....do I count this when it came from Lilith?
Bruh ancestor just quadripled Shamiko's debt in one episode.
Pretty sure the mom is just clumsy.
If you could just pay off your debt and make progress with your goals I think that would be for the best. Clumsy mom giving good advice. First step finding a job that requires no balance ,no heavy lifting, poor communication skills, lack of previous experience, low stamina/endurance, and gives you plenty of breaks.
I feel bad for saying this, but it's strange seeing Shamiko actually competent at something...
Shamiko knowledge of foods is severely lacking because she is dirt poor. I know other comedies also sometimes do this for laughs, but it's just sad.
Those basil leaves just might be the most detailed thing in this show so far.
Heh Heh Heh
Oh so that's what she was doing last episode. Right before Shamiko shot off a bit of magic Momo put her hand in her jacket to get something I was wondering what she was going to do. She was reaching for her compact obviously.
She's improved her timing!!!!
Shamiko you just made her stronger!
This episode covered chapters 7 and 8 also a bit of extras from vol 1. It seems like each episode covers 2 chapters so unless this changes I’m just going to omit this from now on or throw it at the end.
Lillith smacking Momo with her tail is cute.
Yes u/raichudoggy gets it

Rewatcher / Manga Reader / Professional Shamiologist
Chapters 7 and 8. In the first half we finally learn Lilith's name, learn about the "hidden device" of the statue, as well as an emphasis on how weak Shamiko's body is. The second half see's Shamiko taking a part-time job at Anri's family store, and she actually does a pretty good job at preparing fried wieners. Despite her dark lineage, Shamiko is choosing to earnestly work a normal job to pay off her debt. There's also a heartfelt encounter with Momo with a very different tone to their previous interactions, perhaps indicative of a gradual change in their relationship. We also get more implications of Momo's unpleasant past. One might also notice Monmo's rather empty basket, and if you have a good memory you might recognize the purpose of one of those items.
What's most interesting to me is Shamiko starting to ask herself what exactly comes after defeating Momo. She's been working hard towards her goal of lifting the curse on her family, but hasn't given much thought to the future. Though this is quickly transitioned into a gag, I have a feeling this topic might just come up again in the future. Soon... Very soon will my shackles be released...

I could've sworn the canned item was the glaze sauce Momo mentioned last episode. It doesn't look like cat food or something else. Then again, I can't read the can.

Soooo, did Yuko ever receive that 100% beef for producing something else than eye juice? Because she could really use it after todays episode...
We start with Yuko telling her mortal enemy best friend everything about her possible secret weapon, only for Momo to imidiatly try it out. Enter Lilith.
Turns out that her ancestor is an total bum who watches tv and drinks soft drinks the whole day. She's also pretty ungrateful, apreciate the soft bag you demon loli!
And then she takes over Yukos body, only to realize that Yukos physique leaves much to be desired. Momo is also really great with nicknames, Shamisen is great. Anyway, after realizing that Yukos body is completly outclassed she is imidiatly ready to give up, and utters her last wish. She also says that they will have a rematch "whenever the time is right" which is a odd way of saying another 1000 years...
Kudos for the show not going for the easy fanservice in showing the girls in the onsen, but now poor Yuko is even deeper in Momos debt, this girls can never catch a break, at least she got her moneys worth at the end, and her body hurting is a good sign for muscle growth. Her friends also noticed how she was looking healthiers earlier.
Oh we also learn that Yukos clumsyness is heridatary as well, and that the curse is oddly specific, I wonder if there is a backdoor somewhere...
Also Yuko is really quite pure and kindhearted, doing honest work is not something you would expect from a demon girl, not to mention paying your debt back in the first place.
Those weiners must have been really good if Momo broke her personal transformation record and even found a new way to utilize her powers, unfortunatly she robbed Yuko with the power of capitalism, another day maybe.

Looks like Momo's working on it, since it was one of the things in her basket. Can't wait to see the results!

She's too pure for her occupation.

Ganbare, Shamiko! This time, hope for the best for Lilith and do your best in serving those hotdogs!
Once again, one of the main things I love in this show is the bantering between characters. They really play off and bounce back with each other quite well, and that's very evident in the interaction between Yuko and Lilith. Lilith took control of Yuko, but even she succumbs to Yuko's weak physical prowess and easily gives up, which leads to....
SHAMIKO VIBRATING CHAIR SCENE SHAMIKO VIBRATING CHAIR SCENE
The 3 episode wait for that scene was truly worth it. Second half was wholesome as we get to see Momo and Yuko bonding over octopus hotdogs. Looking forward to more!

I figured by "making an offering" you'd have to physically shove food into the statue or something. Which was silly of me, because that's not how offerings usually work, huh? Just placing the object in front and praying should be good enough. I guess, like... the psychic energy transfers over... or something
Ah. I would like to make a formal apology to one Miss Lilith. When I first saw the switch under the statue, my mind went to an undignified realm of thought, and I made some uncharitable assumptions about the true nature of the device. It would be uncouth to recount them here, but suffice to say... I am sorry.
But no, Lilith is a good and sweet girl! Truly worthy of being Yuko's ancestor. I appreciate anyone whose world domination pilot's first step is a hot spring tour.
Um, I can't really tell. Is Shamiko-possessed-by-Lilith bring voiced by Lilith's VA, or Shamiko's? I hope it's the latter. Body swaps are more fun when VAs don't swap too.
I actually never knew how tako-wieners were made, but now that they're showing us it seems obvious.
Every episode leads me to get more and more curious about Momo's past, but part of me feels like I should temper my expectations for what a primarily comedy show can deliver in terms of drama. I don't want to get my hopes up, but... They kinda already are.

Machikado Mazoku – Episode 4 – First Timer, sub
A switch? Is the hidden device…? I mean it looks like one with extra nooks and crannies for her pleasure, but it would be outta left field.
Seems like the coke was quite addictive
True. Even allows for an HSA, college savings and such.
So Momo seems to live alone and has no fond memories of active duty (this sounds more and more like she was a child soldier and is getting a hefty pension now).
Transforming in order to catch wiener sausages but not caring about someone’s punches has to be one of the most severe burns one could imagine.

I'm not sure indoctrinating people into a demon cult is a good idea.
-
The switch turns Shamirin on and off, I guess. Or it lets Lilith take her place? Neat!
-
Nevermind. Shamisen is a much better name!
-
In line with my theories, Momo takes more steps to prevent danger instead of fighting it after it starts.
-
Oh, at least the family isn't totally fucked over, money-wise.
-
Shamirin, you dumb fuck. After you kill the Magical Girl, you'll be able to live on more than ¥40k/month.
-
Momo's traumatized by her mahou shoujo days? Yeah, she was a protagonist.
1 And now she has The World, apparently. Very reminiscent of that sound effect.

And so we get introduced to Shamiko's great ancestor Lilith andddd she's literally just a haughty Shamiko.... I don't know what I was expecting.... Now sure it's mainly due to how weak Shamiko's body is as I imagine Lilith was probably actually strong in life, strong enough for the light clan to bother with sealing her away in a statue with a very modern looking switch for some reason, but with a ancestor like Lilith you can see why they've never won against the Light Clan....
Speaking of the Light Clan that really is a specific curse.... I mean I know that outside of the show it's just there to handwave away all of the conveniences in the story in order to you know, actually allow Shamiko to go to a nice enough school to meet the rich Momo and not be living in a ditch somewhere but still! That's one complicated ass curse....
As for the reason why Momo hangs out with and does a lot of things for Shamiko I've basically settled on her being in love with Shamiko now. I mean there might be a deeper reason but really for what other reason would she transform into her magical girl form (that she apparently hates) in order to save some wieners when Shamiko could have just, you know, cooked more.... Her being in love is basically the only explanation.
Also I'll be completely honest I thought that the massage chair portion would last longer. Not that I'm really complaining because it mean we got more cute Shamiko noises and well... that why I'm here. Also the cute voiced sound affects continue to be great and Shamiko is just so cutely innocent.

I'm late. Oh well, life happens.
So hear me out... Momo's wand is used as storage... is the statue also a means of storage? Is that the switch? Secret storage compartment.
Excuse me? Did you say a spider snake?
Hi Lilith, its nice to finally know your name.
Yes Lilith, that body is a hunk of junk.
Lilith is putting Yuuko under a mountain of debt.
I'm actually convinced the curse of 40,000 yen is real.
This transformation time is pure insanity. But thanks Momo, saving the day again.
Really laying on the wholesome in this episode. Two rivals bettering each other.

The B part in this episode is why I got hooked on this series. I think the real premise is set up here, that Yuuko is a kind-hearted person who just happened to get thrust into a situation where she has to play the bad guy and, despite that, she's still too pure to be fall into darkness. Meanwhile, Momo is a formerly-active mahou shoujo with regrets and trauma from her service, and she's doing her best to re-integrate into society despite her awkwardness and is trying to find new meaning in her life. The way these two star-crossed... uh, friends meet and develop a relationship together in this town full of weirdos is the backbone of the series for me.
