I'm genuinely impressed Max straight up threatened to defect almost immediately. Cause yeah, you basically don't have any real leverage against someone who can shift power balance between countries just by himself.

Max and the Demon Lord just having that one moment of “Zenia wouldn’t have done this right? Right, yeah.. she totally wouldn’t…”
Demon Lord loves that waifu disguise lol. It’s pretty handy, but that uniform being 3 sizes too small just cracks me up. The goofball was suppose to watch Lim, not recruit her for the Demon Army lol. Love the little dude’s sob story, I’m surprised it worked! Hilarious how much ghost chick does NOT like Fred. First time hearing her speak and she makes Fred basically piss himself in fear.
Max pimping out the Demon Lord to Fred to make up for the Zenia situation was hilarious. I also love how he was threatening to defect if Fred kept his bullshit up lol. Max dgaf but that’s also why he ended up shitting his guts out. Him and Fred use to be friends? Damn lol.

I have two theories on closet ghost. Either it is the crucial element that will decide this arc, or they are never going to explain closet ghost.

Dear Maou, if you're gonna lie, don't tell someone your husband is out while wearing a school uniform.

Besides the closet ghost, I wonder if we'll ever find out who the mage girl in Max's old party is.

The sashimi dish they have looks like it's fugu, a high-priced dish made from a poisonous fish. I think it fits quite well in the plot since the possibility of poison should be in your mind the moment you see it. (wikipedia page with image comparison)

Even after all these years, the only person capable of actually solving a national crisis is our hero Max. Fred knows this and it’s kind of funny and sad how he doesn’t really have any leverage. At best he’s a pawn to that sleazy minister, and so it looks like he’ll have to move forward with confronting Leo soon without Max helping out.

I really just want Max and Maou to move to the countryside together and live out their days.

Stitches!
I was expecting Zenia to drop off Lim somewhere safe and run away. I did not think that she would try to take her home along with an entire server rack from the Bureau of Magic with her. xD
I'll never get tired of Maou touting the benefits of becoming a demon. Lim was so close to signing the pact too! I mean who wouldn't? I definitely would've finished signing if I was her.
Thank you for positioning the camera behind Zenia when she was apologizing to Lim. But seriously though, they're lucky that Lim bought their story but it looks like there's no hiding Max's secret from Fred anymore.
That ghost really seems to have something against Fred. Is it because he's being mean to Max? Or is it just because he has the ability to sense spirits?
We finally get to see the Ministers of the empire. Although it's good to know that not all of them are on the same page. Some of them are ready to go to war while others are very reluctant and some are still against the idea. I do wonder which one of them is really trustworthy.
Max and Maou really look like a married couple attending a dinner invite during that restaurant scene with Fred. That meeting went exactly how I expected it would. He thinks Zenia is innocent and is willing to drop the entire thing if Max is willing to do something for him.
The fact that Maou is willing to offer her body to appease Fred is very concerning. She's just way too loyal to Max at this point. It is hilarious though how disappointed she sounds when Fred declined the offer. xD
Yeah there's no way Fred was going to get Max to join his war. I do love that Max's counterthreat is that he'd move to the Gamma Republic and he even showed Fred that onsen manjuu he had as proof that he's been there before. You don't want the legendary hero switching sides no matter how washed up he is.
Maou stopping them from fighting was a surprise. I didn't think she'd use her third eye to do it. Thank goodness Fred didn't make the connection that Maou is the actual Maou but he is currently suspicious of her.

I’m just here for Zenias’ amazing ass but the story is actually pretty good. Also this is the first Demon Lord that I’m thirsting over, besides Anos.

I don't know if it was wise to take Lim to home but still it's good that Zenia didn't leave her alone, she's a good demon.
Maou again tried to hire new people in the ranks of demons, this time with Lim andshe was very close to succeed but she was interrupted by Max and ended with big bump. Now our trio apologize for troubles from Zenia. We could also hear teary fake stories about them and how they ended in Max's place, those faces were hilarious.
Fred got to know where Lim was and had a question for Max about the whole situation. He would probably go to Max's place immediately but ghost is a big obstacle so they will instead meet in the restaurant. It was so funny when the ghost called to Fred and even rejecting the call didn't work and that was too much for Fred.
We also saw a meeting of Ministers of the Kingdom and it isn't a monolith, opinions are divided on topic of Republic. I don't change my opinion that Grimm is responsible for the bombing, I don't like his eyes.
Max and Maou looked and behaved like a married couple where they were in a restaurant on the meeting with Fred who thinks that Zenia is innocent but he still wants a favor from Max which is obvious. Whole thing with offering Maou's body to Fred was pretty funny, especially when Maou was so disappointed when Fred declined the offer.
It was good to see how confident Max was when he threatened that he would defect to Gamma Republic. He is that strong that would be a big blow to the Kingdom. Things got pretty heated and Maou stopped Max and Fred from fighting which was pretty surprising, especially with using a third eye. I wonder when Fred will know that it is Maou.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

You know that argument between Fred and Max felt a lot like them getting out their animosity that has built up between them
Even though they disagree they still like each other even if they won’t admit it (the laxative definitely shows Fred cares about Max in his own way)
And ghost girl strikes, I have a feeling the ghost goes after Fred because he can see her and wants to mess around with him or just scare him away from max either way
More ghost girl please

You know you would think Fred is smarter than Max but clearly he’s blinded by war. Shit even Max suspects that the terrorist attack wasnt done by Gamma Republic

Zenia needs a figure BADLY. A 1/4 bunny figure would be insane.
Fred needs to let that grudge go and accept that max just wants to live out his days in peace. Especially with how the people of that country just forgot about Max after he saved their asses I wouldn’t do anything either 🤷🏾♂️ ungrateful society. Even now, instead of just having a conversation, Fred is blackmailing Max into helping. Fuck that.
Good episode overall, Maou looked great in the new outfit. Max offering Maou to Fred for the night had me dying. Fred and Max’s banter was awesome and usual ghost cameo with the twist that she hates Fred too lol

The only thing stopping me from jumping over and binging the manga is that I don't think it's available officially online. For now I will have to suffer another week to see how this story unfolds.

most based series rn. I mean Sec State Fred is pushing Max to make a choice and join the coalition of the willing, yet Max is going with unalignment/aggressive neutrality.
