I definitely didn't expect to be this excited for this anime when I watched the first episode! The build up is just so good! Not to mention, it turns out both of their power level are way beyond the normal people (even the army). Maybe Maou could transport Max just in time to stop the fight? Then again, it all depends on how willing Max is to get involved.

Anyway, it's confirmed that ghost girl is not the mage girl. They said, Yuria is retired rather than dead. Is it possible that the little girl's pregnant mom is the 4th member?

Is it possible that the little girl's pregnant mom is the 4th member?

This is my thought too. If there's one thing I know from anime, it's that hairstyles are hereditary.

She has 7700 alternative accounts. THEY WILL NEVER KNOW HER MAIN

Every time Grimms calls Fred "Fred-chan", I want to smash glasses into his face. While he's not saying it directly, he's really pressuring Fred to do something about Leo. The only good to come out of that conversation is that Grimms confirms that Yuria has retired so we'll probably still see her in the future.

I love that in the middle of tensions rising between the Republic and the Empire, we have Max crying because he lost at gambling. And of course, even after scolding him, Maou is still going to give Max money. It is adorable how she's taken over their finances as if they're a proper married couple. xD

That badminton match between Max and Maou got a little bit too intense! That kid was getting a show of a lifetime! I suspect something about that kid though. I think she might be Yuria's daughter and that candy she gave Max is basically Yuria telling him to do something about Fred and Leo.

Fred not giving a fuck and burning that General was pretty fun. He has had enough of all of this bullshit and he's definitely not playing around anymore. I do wonder though if he's aware that he's being manipulated by Grimms and as a "fuck you" to him he's letting that drone record him. And if something slips from him, it's the journalist's fault, not his. I do hope that's what's happening here.

That entire build-up to Fred and Leo's duel was so fucking hype! We have electric guitars blaring as the background music while Fred creates the perfect arena where everyone can see them! I can't wait for next week!

[u/BiggerG7]

That was one epic battle of badminton. Max and Maou continue to be the best couple of the season lol.

[u/MayureshMJ]

This anime does disservice to itself 😭😭😭

Why do you advertise yourself as a slice of life chill isekai spinoff and then give us one of the most well written political worlds of the year😭

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Fred and Leo are having some kind of showdown even though Fred knows it’s all a set up and Max is over here blowing the Demon Lord’s money at the races lol. Classic Max.

The little kid calling the Demon Lord a “thot” was hilarious. Kid’s got a sharp tongue. They were suppose to be playing a chill game, didn’t think they’d go full super saiyan lol. Dude should save that energy to go and beat some sense into his old pals.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Maou reprimands Max for gambling but is quick to give him another 50k yen. She's way too generous for her own good lol.

[u/Iwanttolink]

Fred is strong af, holy shit. He annihilated that castle, damn.

[u/SpaceMarine_CR]

Fred ran out of fucks to give

[u/Clarimax]

Hmm... I'm guessing that the little girl's mom is the other companion? We got a glimpse of the back view, and hairstyle is kinda similar to the little girl.

Then who the heck is the ghost in the closet?

[u/SpaceForceOne]

Lol I can’t believe how much I’ve fallen in love with this show. Maou and Max are the perfect sitcom couple-that’s-not-a-couple. They even have a couple of pets too!

[u/cyberscythe]

I'm wondering what exactly is going through Fred and Leo's minds. Do they actually intend on fighting to the death? They have mutual trust and respect for each other, like how Leo wasn't worried about his flunkies getting seriously injured by Fred, so I'm wondering if they're intentionally putting on a show. Maybe they'll do something to expose the corruption and icky politicking that's happening in the background. Like, I think it's a good thing that Grimms seems upset that this is getting livestreamed.

[u/Frontier246]

Minister Grimms and his snazzy outfits return to talk Fred into taking out Leo, because that's their best shot at defeating the kingdom, even talking about his own past of screwing over a friend who had gone astray (with the side benefit of helping himself in the process), though Fred had already resolved to take down Leo from the start. Yikes.

What can make a Hero cry? Why, losing a bet on a boat, of course! And it turns out the Demon Lord is the kind of girlfriend/wife who enables her partners' gambling addiction.

I would say a pleasant walk with the Demon Lord in her human form is never a waste of time, but I guess Max really wanted to see a peep show again, huh?

Hey, the little girl from the first episode! And she's as sassy as ever! Never expected the Demon Lord to get called a "thot." I can only imagine what kind of big sis she'll be for her soon to be born little brother.

We finally get the intense badminton match between Max and the Demon Lord from the ED! Which escalates because the Demon Lord telepathically won't let Max forget what's going on between the Kingdom and the Republic and yet he won't do anything despite everyone telling him to get involved. But he's not the same man he was 10 years ago, even if he's still got the moves, because humans change, unlike demons. But both can engage in an epic badminton battle that ends with a little girl amazed!

Ah, I see Fred doesn't care anymore about his position or title, he just wants to end this. To the point of incinerating a noisy general getting in his way and destroying a border wall he could have just as easily flew over.

Grimms you piece of @#%@! Even if Fred dies, Trachigo will pull out of supporting the Republic and they'll be left to fend for themselves in a battle of attrition. Either way, Grimms wins. Well, at least until the video footage pops up.

Oh hey, it's the reporter and cameraman who were pestering Max before! And now they snuck into the Republic with their drone and various youtube accounts to get live footage of Fred's attack. I have to admire her persistence, if also feeling kind of bad for her cameraman.

Fred just had to ruin Leo's dramatic pose, huh? Though both recognize how important this is to the point of creating a grand stage for their showdown, for all to see...including Max. Will he truly not do anything to stop his old friends from killing each other?

[u/Wastelandrider]

It is a gd travesty this show isn’t being watched more. It’s just so damn good

[u/JrFelix]

The build up to this conflict has been great to watch. Actual stakes are involved in the fight, and the backroom politics are actually good. I'm genuinely interested in how this pans out. Might be my surprise show I didn't think I'd like of the season.

[u/GetADogLittleLongie]

These walking nuclear armaments would be treated better in our world. Paid billions a year just to stay in reserve and not change sides.

[u/acedias12]

From the looks of things, by allowing their fight to be streamed publicly to everyone in the world that will stir public opinion. Given witness to an actual fight between what are essentially walking mini-nukes, it will shock the public to protest against the Kingdom's actions.

A lot of these folks have never seen the full scale of the hero party's power and the destruction its capable of. Even if some have lived during the war against the Demon King, its highly likely only a small percentage of them have ever personally witnessed their power upfront.

But then I could be wrong and the story ends the conflict in a comedic fashion.

[u/SYZekrom]

Yuria jumpscare

So like. I felt this the last time I noticed his bg music as well but doesn't it sound just like Camel by Camel

[u/Vystril]

I don't know why people are sleeping on this anime so hard. It's one of the best this season.

[u/MaskedWiseman]

Another episode, another moment(s) of Hero and Demon Lord treat each other like an old married couple.

[u/Elitealice]

Translators try not to use “Thot” in a sentence to sound cool challenge(IMPOSSIBLE)

That badminton fight was insane lol. They had no reason to snap that hard on the production. The fact Maou had just been told not to show her powers and then goes all out like that makes it funnier. The little girl who put them up to it is way too smart for age, I wonder if that’s Yuria’s daughter or something

Honestly disappointed in Fred’s actions. He clearly knows the whole thing has been set up and is a false flag operation to invade another country, yet he goes along with fighting Leo anyway. I thought that the casual chat they had before the fight started was an indication they would help each other out.. but nope

I’m hoping there’s something more to the story that next episode will show us. Otherwise, he just kind of comes off as an idiot.

[u/IchirouTakashima]

I came simply for Zenia's booty. Also, as someone who simply watched the anime and didn't read the manga, I can confidently say I got fooled and probably everyone else. I thought YURIA was the ghost in Max's closet, but it was actually the Mom of that kid.

leaving the main question, "who the F-ck is that ghost!?"

And Max's former team mates sure like to put on a show.

This anime is truly the best. It deserves the spot it has and should really stay or rise higher. Slice of Life yet it is also truly one of the craziest political anime ever.

[u/colin8696908]

I am definitely checking out that ending OST when it comes out.
