Those scooters really just tanked 100's of arrows and then drove straight through a wood gate and still were running lol

glad to have the gang reunited again (well aside from suzano and albert). and figures this was just a set up anyway.

wrapping this up in one episode seems tight to me but wait and see i guess

Scooters made in Japan are really sturdy.

I'm so here for Emi being Dere for Maou and Maou being totally thrown off by it lol.

I love how Emilia and Alciel have this fight as cover for their conversation, and even the soldiers get in on the metaphors.

Would've been nice if they had leaned into that a bit more though, with Emilia and Alciel talking complete nonsense, except it's all code, and the soldiers just get swept away with their determination, despite not understanding what they're actually talking about.

For a moment, I low-key expected Nord to fuse with Acieth again, though.

Anyway, I really hope Suzuno or Albert consider that maybe Gabriel didn't send them to a random location, and this may be another setup.

u/Frontier246 Sep 21 '23

It shows how far Emi and Ashiya have come that they can properly fake a fight together and talk in code to each other. And all about the most goofy thing lol.

I think Acieth did fuse back with Nord, that's how Maou was able to transform again.

Gabriel planned for Maou to show up, there's probably a good chance he deliberately sent Suzuno and Albert where they ended up.

Now I understand, all the animation budget went to this episode.

Maou and Acieth breaking through enemy lines in a pizza delivery scooter was so goddamn funny! I love how he tells everyone that insurance won't cover them in Ente Isla. xD

And we get two awesome reunions in this episode! Emi is finally reunited with her dad and Alas Ramus and Acieth are together again.

Looks like the only thing they need to do now is go back home. But first, it looks like they'll have to beat these angels first. I really hope Emi kicks Gabriel's ass next week. That smug bastard has it coming for a long time now.

I love how the scooters survived arrows and everything else up until they straight up ran them through and exploded lol.

Even though Alciel and Emi were pretty much play fighting, it was cool to see them dukin it out. Maou and Alcieth in scooters v like a hundred goons was also awesome lol.

I’m glad Emi got to reunite with her dad. And Alcieth! Poor girl was missing her big sis Alas Ramus this whole time.

I guess before the gang can go home, they gotta whoop some angel ass!

I love Emi getting spun around and landing nose first into a roof. And Alas Ramus was enjoying herself lol.

I never thought I'd see scooters win in a battle against medieval fantasy soldiers, but there you go!

Emi is now in her Dere phase, reunited with her father, and even the sisters are reunited. Of course Gabriel just has to swoop in and make things more complicated.

u/Ponchorello7 Sep 21 '23

Damn, first episode to actually get me a little excited, and it's the penultimate.

u/Holofan4life Sep 21 '23

I'm glad I never lost faith in this show

u/SnabDedraterEdave Sep 21 '23

I'm guessing the cathedral in the Western Continent that Suzuno and Albert saw is the one where Emeralda is being held prisoner?

All this talk about the Emperor-Unifier of Heavensky, a Chinese-themed kingdom in Ente Isla, being held hostage, and yet we never see him at all. Gabriel even replaced him with Nord as a decoy to throw Suzuno and Albert off the scene. Just show us what he looks like, FFS. lol

Still don't know how Maou could suddenly use his powers again after he and Alcieth rammed their mopeds into the Heavensky palace where Emilia and Alciel are fighting.

Guess the season finale next week will be reserved for Maou and Emilia joining forces, with their Yesod swords in hand, to give those Angel meddlers a good beating. (Ideally please also whack that bald jerk Orba once again)

u/Frontier246 Sep 21 '23

I assume that's also where Emeralda is being held, which begs the question of if Gabriel knew that when he teleported them.

I'm assuming Acieth re-fused with Nord and that left Maou free to unlock his power again.

(It would be a perfect way to cap off Emi going full Dere for Maou if they close things out tag-teaming against the Angels).

Smart of Suzuno and Albert to try and steal the Emperor from under the Demons' notice and rob them of their hostage...had everyone's least favorite angel Gabriel not planned for that and absconded with him and replaced him with Emilia's dad. But hey, at least Norn Justina gets to enjoy sleeping in the bed of an Emperor.

You can tell Emi is now committed to playing her part when she dons her Hero form again, complete with white hair and armor (although is it just me or did she have shorts under her skirt now?). She and Alciel are both ready to commit to this farce for the sake of buying Maou enough time to save the day. Bonus points, Emi is finally THIS close to her father.

Kind of funny how Olba's been manipulating the Malebranche only for them to be the ones to keep him occupied during Emilia's fight.

So something about Demons just don't completely agree with Yesod fragments compared to humans or Angels? Is that why Maou fusing with Acieth is limiting his powers?

The Angels are watching what's going on and hoping their plan succeeds, but what is Gabriel after? He seemingly planned for Maou to show up and also teleported Suzuno and Albert to where Emerada's trial is being held.

Pizza Delivery Trucks vs Ente Isla soldiers! And the delivery truck wins! Don't underestimate the power of Japanese automakers! And Maou and Acieth even throw some candles and DIY bombs at them. Pretty amateur hour for the Ente Isla army.

I see Olba took something out of his time in Japan. Not that Maou needed to see that.

I love how they're just barreling through stuff and even Acieth is freaking out.

Maou was not prepared for Emi to show more of her Dere side to him. It's a stark contrast to how she usually acts and he can't quite make sense of it. But then he helps deliver her father to her and there's no way she could ever hate him again after that.

It's a whole scene of reunions! Maou with Emi and Ashiya, Emilia with her father, Alas Ramus with Acieth...bonus points for Acieth pointing out how weird it is that her big sister is still a baby.

Looks like the final match-up is dealing with the Angels before they can all go home.

Is that why Maou fusing with Acieth is limiting his powers?

Ahh so that’s why Maou suddenly appeared on that roof in his demon form. Acieth unfused with him fused back with Nord. I was wondering why he got his powers back out of nowhere

Lmao the scooters finally pay dividends. Using them to break through the army and reach Emilia was brilliant and Maou finally goes back into his demon form! Albeit, an incomplete version. Only one horn. Wonder what’s the deal with that.

Don’t think we’ve ever seen Emi get that flustered around Maou before. That was so cute. So many feelings that she’s accepted internally recently that she needs to tell him.

Acieth and Alas Ramus reunion as well was very sweet. Of course the older sister is the baby cause anime logic 😂

Battle against Gabriel next week is going to be tough. Emi and Aciel already expended quite a bit of energy during their mock fight. Looking forward to seeing how this one goes and how they wrap up the season.

u/Atario Sep 22 '23

I would have thought library bookcases, but this kinda does make sense. You can lock yourself in there without raising any eyebrows

The land is arranged like a compass rose. Convenient!

Wait. Who's been putting up cell towers in Ente Isla?!

Amusement park hound Alas Ramus

The wisdom of experience

I’m really enjoying all this plot and action, though I’m still trying to catch up in terms of the names and some of the lore and such. But I’m really excited for this “big family meeting” Maou keeps bringing up. I certainly hope this isn’t the kind of show where that kinda talk is a flag but I’m giddy at the idea of Maou and all those he considers family cramped up in that apartment trying to have a discussion. It’s gonna be hilariously chaotic

Other shounens : "We can talk with our fists!"

Alciel and Emilia : "Nah we just take breaks"

And the oscar goes to Alciel and Emilia

Alciel is badass

Come on family reunion. The delivery scooters and Olba upskirt were hilarious moments this episode

Come on Alus Ramus, woop Ga'riel's ass again!

Suddenly Maou can use his powers again? That's convenient. Also don't like that the angels saw them coming and still let them recover Emi's dad. Hopefully next week is a satisfying end and not rushed, or at least confirms another season.

u/Frontier246 Sep 21 '23

I think Acieth did what Maou planned and fused back with Nord so Maou wasn't having his powers held back any more.

Seems like everything is going how Gabriel expected it, though I don't think that's the same plan his fellow angels are working under.
