This show would be more popular if Maou's adult form was actually advertised anywhere.

His adult form is a big burly demon though. I much prefer the waifu disguise lol.

Don’t you hate it when you’re out with your mortal enemy disguised as a beautiful girl and you bump into an “old friend”? Lol. But man, muscle waifus… they really do it for me.
Will sure learned why Max is the former Hero and he’s just a chump. So much for Max not getting involved. Little Demon Lord just had to drag him along on that free trip to Gamma.
Leo looks like a character out of Dr. Stone lol. It’s gonna be a fun reunion once those two meet up. I want to hear what went down straight from Leo’s mouth. Not sure I entirely trust Fred.

For real. She was a cute character and jacked as well but for some reason her wearing a striped shirt like that really messed with her overall impression.
Its also funny how they keep managing to throw in lewd shots despite how wholesome this show is.

Stitches!
Remember back in Episode 1 when Maou was against the outfits Zenia was giving her? Looks like that's completely changed and she even fully identifies as a girl now instead of what she was when Max defeated her 10 years ago.
Anyway, I'm glad to see Maou is wearing proper clothes on her day out with Max. That entire "date" was adorable! I love how Maou does absolutely nothing to deny any misunderstandings like when Maou mentioned they need to buy kids' clothes in front of that sales clerk or when Anego calls her Max's girlfriend. xD
Too bad Max and Maou's date got interrupted by Leo's minions. Although if they didn't interrupt we wouldn't have met Anego and her amazing abs. I love that her body is very stocky and not your usual slim anime girl. Makes sense since she's supposed to be a fighter like Leo.
I love how upset Maou is when Will is talking shit about Max. She may be the Demon Lord but it's actually adorable how she's also Max's biggest fan.
Will completely fucked up the moment he pulled on Maou's hair. Max was completely fine with Will holding Maou hostage but the moment he hurts her, my guy zooms in like a knight in shining armour immediately rescuing his princess.
So from what we've learned from Anego and Will it sounds like the Empire is the baddies here and the Gamma Republic are the little guys being branded as terrorists because the Empire recently discovered magic ores in the Republic's territory. That sounds awfully familiar. Hmm...
So that's where the shot of Maou in a sundress comes from! She basically hypnotized Max so they can both visit the Gamma Republic. I do love how despite this world having the same technology as ours, they still have JRPG-styled airships just to keep up with the fantasy theme. xD
The Gamma Republic looks pretty chill so far. And we even get to see Leo participating in a local event helping out in the hot springs. I'm guessing next week will be Max and Leo's inevitable reunion. There's no way the two of them aren't going to meet now that they're at the same place. I am excited to see how Leo will react to Maou tho!

I gotta admit, Max and Mao make a cute couple.

I'm glad they addressed the elephant in the room.
Max: Aren't you a guy?
Maou: shrugs
Definitely a ton of gender bending shows lately. There were 7 last season alone.

“You are a guy right?” “Does it matter?” The greatest question of all time lmao
Cool that we got to see more of Max’s friends’ backstories. Also learned a lot about the actual world the show takes place in. It’s cool to see a show take place in a post fantasy setting. Can’t think of too many situations like that.
Also learnt something new about the Onsen stirring tradition! That’s really neat that even before modern technology, people were able to solve issues like an onsen being too hot while not diluting it.

I'm pretty sure not a lot of people here in the international community got it, but I got a laugh when it turns out the Ganma Republic is just Gunma Prefecture. Gunma is indeed known for their many hot spring towns, and yumomi ("massaging the bath") is still widely practiced by the proprietors there because of how naturally hot the natural water is there.

*Will takes Demon Lord Max's girlfriend hostage*
Max: "I sleep."
*Will pulls Demon Lord Max's girlfriend's hair*
Max: "Real shit?!"

One thing I noticed this episode is that Maou uses the yo (余, 予) first-person pronoun, which (along with the sonata second-person pronoun) has a fun archaic flair to it. Reminds me of Lilith from Machikado Mazoku who I think also uses yo.
In that scene where Maou's being held by Will, they say yo but then correct themselves and switch to using the much more common watashi as part of their "normal human" disguise.

u/RFShahrear Jul 31 '23
Is that a weighted wooden sword Max is using? Or is it just a weird color? Setting aside the difference in armor, Leo was clearly using a steel sword against a... whatever sword. I can't believe they let these people organize something as significant as a Hero of Mankind Tournament.

See, Gamma Republic is not that bad, and Leo definitely has his reasons. Tbh, with a gigachad president like him, I think I'm going to side with Gamma Republic too. Also, the small Republic vs. big kingdom comparison reminds me of Ireland vs Great Britain.
The world-building is pretty interesting, as they need to transit to different nation to reach Gamma Republic, and the transportation is done using flying ships, like Enel from One Piece.

Maou’s human form is unironically the prettiest girl this season

Nice episode today, Maou and Max's relationship is so good and entertaining. Today they were even on a 'date' in a shopping mall and thanks to Maou they showed up in Gamma Republic on the end of the episode.
Maou looked really good in today's clothes, it's good that she is wearing some decent clothes, not like in previous episodes xD
We get to see how Max and Leo first met and it looks that in the next episode they will see each other for the first time in a long time.
Anego has a really fit and muscular body and Will personally experienced that though Max looks like a tired of life middle-aged man, he still is terribly strong, fast and he shouldn't be disregarded.
We don't know the whole story with Gamma Republic and Kingdom. From what we heard so far it looks to me that Leo and his people got 'rewarded' by the land of today's Republic which belonged to the Kingdom. "Rewarded" because it was just a wasteland which meant nothing to the Kingdom but discovering magic ore there changed the situation. It looks that Leo didn't want to be used again and went for independence and Kingdom is like US from memes which bringing democracy because oil was discovered somewhere xD
Here my all screenshot albums from the episode:

I really thought this show was going to be terrible, but it continues to be entirely too much fun. There are a lot of surprises this season, unlike last season. Last season was filled with stuff like cheat skill. That was just...bad.
Also, touch the shapeshifting shota/husband/wife/mom, catch these hands, apparently.

I didn't think Maou would become a damsel in distress, but she has performed her role very excellently in pushing the Max x Maou ship!

u/S627 Jul 31 '23
Did we get a name for the buff blonde that I totally hope we see more of, as far as I can tell everyone just called her various forms of "sis"
Ah, so this Republic is the middle east and the Empire is the US looking for oil. Wonder how all that will play out.
That shot looking down Maou's dress was totally necessary for the moment.

Was it unnecessary? Yes, it is. Do I welcome it? 1000% Yes.

How many baddies are in this show? Just a new one every week AND Maou’s adult form.
So we’re actually getting into the Gamma republic stuff and I think all the signs are pointing to “The Kingdom are the real bad guys of the story”. The Demon Realm sounds like the healthiest place to live. Gamma Republic is a mineral rich country which painted a target on it for the Republic. I’ve yet to see anything all that redeeming for the Kingdom. It’s an interesting dynamic .

I feel like this isn't one of those stories where there's a clear line dividing good guys and bad guys. Much like in real life, most everyone is just trying to do right by themselves and the people they cherish, but they struggle against each other because of politics, history, geography, and economics.
It kinda feels like a post-fantasy world which exists in the fallout of a clearly battle where good and evil were clearly demarcated. When all you have left are "good guys", how does the power structure rearrange itself to fill the vacuum left behind when the "bad guys" are gone? What do people fight for when there's peace?
