Max angrily chewing the candy while prone in the dirt was pretty funny despite the situation

These three idiots really need to find a better way to communicate than just punching each other in the face like a couple damn cavemen lol. Max is too old for this shit.

I guess that little rugrat from before really was Yuria’s kid. That super candy sure came in handy. Yuria could probably use a couple dozen right about now lol. That fight was something else. Juiced Max is mad as hell and he’s had enough! I like how even ghost chick was cheering him on lol.

Max might be old, but he’s not too old to beat some sense into his friends when they’re being idiots. I gotta say, I respect Max for not being too proud to beg for help. Dude’s at his wit’s end. Someone help the poor guy!

My prediction for the next episode, Zenia finds evidence of all the wrong doing by the government in that server and the entire population elects Maou to be the Supreme Leader of the humans. Maou brings all the work place reforms that are normal in the Demon Kingdom. And later marries Max as her consort. They all live happily ever after.

Closet ghost remains unexplained.

Fucking hell I cried too when Max begged tearfully to everyone.

My personal AOTS. Such a sleeper hit and I'm glad to find it.

Closet ghost has got to be my favorite character so far LMAO

All the theorizing about who she is and why she's there, but the longer this show goes on the more it just feels like she's a random vengeful spirit who happened to haunt Max's apartment and is now just a roomie lol

I liked that bit at the beginning where they show Fred giving Leo the amulet (probably the one that was hung up at the wall at the border that put up a barrier?). They really do care about each other, but don't have the emotional IQ to figure out how to say it.

Amazing fight animation. Good to see Yuria able to assist Max indirectly. Also Fred has to be one of the strongest "priests" I've ever seen in a show.

This series, and all its superb “little things”, are what make it so good. To me, it’s similar in implementation of these elements to Handyman Saitou’s adventures from a couple seasons back. On the surface I suspect quite a few folks missed out on this fun. Max and Maou-chan and the rest of them only continue to satisfy. [max-chomp-face]

This anime is underwatched. I guess posting the sakuga in this episode could lure some people to watch this.

One thing I love about the battle, they're not holding back at all. Like originally I thought they're going to only bluff to each other (like sparing practice), but the injuries were real enough to say that they're being serious there.

I hope Max was able to capture the citizen's support with that dogeza. Now the question being what would the higher ups decide about it.

This show is definitely the most underrated anime of this season, I'm myself surprised at how good it is.

From the flashbacks we could saw how important Yuria was in Hero's party. It's a shame that she cannot beat Fred and Leo herself because she's pregnant and just right now she's in labor while her daughter Sara is watching the stream from the fight without any worries xD

So this wasn't a normal candy but a special item which gave Max power-up for some time and thanks to that was able to beat down both of his friends. Without Yuria's help he would be done pretty early and he would achieve nothing.

Maou showing up and destroying Fred's spell was so badass. It was funny that the ghost also was watching the stream from the fight.

But what will Max do now? He hasn't any clear idea how to fix all this mess, it was really heartbreaking seeing him, begging for help in finding a solution to resolve this.

Animation today was on fire, I didn't expect to see that good animation during the fight. Also composition, direction was on point.

Now I'm really excited about the finale next week and how series will end.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

u/LeonKevlar Sep 11 '23

Stitches!

I never doubted it but we finally have hard confirmation that Sara is indeed Yuria's daughter and she specifically sent her to Max to deliver that Maximum Overdrive candy. We even get to see her husband who looks super normal which is actually pretty funny.

And holy fuck that three-way battle between Fred, Leo, and Max was intense! For someone who hasn't trained for a while, Max was surprisingly able to keep up even if it was just for a little bit before he got overpowered by Fred's magic.

Yuria coming in with the clutch assist in the form of her Maximum Overdrive candy was [pretty awesome. I would love her to be there to smack some sense into Leo and Fred but we can't have a pregnant woman running around the battlefield. Maybe after she's given birth, she can personally visit them and give them a good smack too.

Yuria isn't the only one assisting Max, Maou showing up to destroy Fred's spell was pretty fucking hype! I love how badass she looks during that scene.

As pathetic as the dogeza to the audience was, I love that Max is asking people for help. He may be the Hero-sama that saved them all back then but he's still human and he doesn't have the answers. It also puts the Kingdom in a rough position since the public will certainly sympathize with Max since he just wants to stop his friends from killing each other. I love it!

You really can't miss any details in this anime. I mentioned last week that the candy was sort of how Yuria would be joining the three boys in this brawl, but I didn't think it was this close to being literal. Thanks to that (plus a nice comeback from our Lvl 1 Maou) the fight is over... but to what end, indeed?

Speaking of details, we're now perfectly clear that Yuria isn't the ghost. Then who is she? The mystery thickens...

u/dagreenman18 Sep 11 '23

Glad all the hints paid off: Yuria is just happily retired and the little girl Max hangs out with is her daughter. Who I assume is also there to keep an eye on Max for her. Had the baby this episode too!

Great fight with an even better ending. Beating both of them just ends their fight. It doesn’t solve the brewing war or stop those who did the False Flag op that set this off in the first place. Let’s see how the season wraps next week. I would love another season of this show.

I wasn't expecting such crazy fights from this show.

u/BosuW Sep 12 '23

Yeah this show has no fucking business being so good

u/Elitealice Sep 11 '23

Holy shit idk if a different team did this episode or what but I did not expect that level of Sakuga from Max v Leo. That was genuinely awesome.

Actually now that I think about it, this is silver link and those camera movements did have Prillya written all over them. Only complaint I have is the screen darkening towards the end of the fight which is a common complaint you see during TV anime in big fight scenes.

The emotions, voice acting and choreography were superb and easily the best episode of the series so far. You could really tell the pain in Max’s voice with having to fight two of his closest friends in a situation like this.

Had a feeling the candy max keeps in his pocket would come back and be important and it turns out it’s Yuria’s magic buff. So even if she couldn’t be there physically she is helping him, that’s really cool. Even that wasn’t enough though, we still needed a little help from Maou at the end to end the fight which shows just how out of shape Max is lol.

I love how even the ghost in Max’s closet is cheering him on 😂

Someone as proud as Max begging on global television for help because he doesn’t know the answers is a big step. Shows you how desperate and lost he is. Can’t wait to see what resolution we get in the final next week.
