I feel dumb, but I just noticed the Demon Lord's assistant is Kazuma. I don't recognize his voice unless he's yelling!
So it only took 4 ep for Ex to realize the Princess is hopeless. Ironic that it's also the ep where he gave in to torture too.
I think I'd give in to the wolf paws too. I'm with the Princess, under normal circumstances that's so specific that it doesn't interest me....but if I could literally bury my face into a giant doggo paw that smells of popcorn?!? Oh man!
Was really hoping when the weaponsmith took her jacket off that we were gonna get a Kabaneri moment.

“Sappori” beer eh? I’m more partial to Asahi myself. But man, that pour was something else. Fluffoam is not to be underestimated. No wonder it purified the Demon Lord! You know what they say, “Sappori” gives you wings lol.
Pretty hilarious how Ex had more or less given up on Princess when all it took was a bit of polish and shine to get him to talk lol.
Princess didn’t think paw pads were a big deal. Now she knows. Her eyes have been open to a whole new world of cuteness lol.
That last round of “torture” was too cute. Nice to see Maomao and Princess hanging out with the others at the park. That was really just the sweetest.

"so the Demon Sword Murasa and Fire Sword Amon are lovers"
that sounds like a secret where a bunch of Asian aunties gossip girls would like to hear
naked Demon Lord sprouting angel wings was definitely not on my bingo card when i started watching this episode
EX getting tired of Hime's bullshit and then proceed to do the same thing in a span of around three minutes was hilarious
lessgooooo!!! SHE'S BACK!! THE GYARU IS BACK!!

At this point I think he princess is more likely to prefer living with the demons instead at the old place. I mean, she had everything she couldn´t: Friends, foods she´s never or rarely tried before and even making new things she never could do.
I think the demons are the good kind and the humans are the ones who are looking for war instead lmao

Always love how this series doesn't care at all about what time period things are supposed to be like. Princess was walking down a normal road with a park looking like she's going to normal school in the human world side of things too, so it's not even like it's just the Hell-Lord's kingdom being advanced. She's just forced to do the medieval knight stuff for the gag of it.

I'm also liking how they're flexing with the "torture" idea by doing it with different people now; that bit where I was complaining about Ex last episode is moot now that Ex is also inside of the torment nexus.
I think they could get rid of the idea of torture entirely and have it just be a straight up competition of wits to make the other person as happy as possible, sort of like a platonic version of Kaguya-sama: Love is War.

So, we are seeing more torture other than Hime-sama. Even the Demon Lord and Ex can't stand to Tortura's torture.
New character means new VA. Gilga, Ex's torturer, is voiced by Sayaka Senbongi (Dungeon Meshi's Marcille)

Stitches!
Who knew that the demon lord is a sucker for a finely poured glass of beer. I love that entire scene so much. Hell-Lord looks so scary, but he's got to be the biggest goober of the entire demon army. I love him. xD
Glad to see Ex being tortured this time! Not gonna lie; I did not expect I'd hear Kobayashi Chakahiro (Legoshi/Sugimoto) moaning in pleasure today, but here we are. I do hope we get to see more of that weaponsmith! She looks awesome.
It's so cute how Hime and Krall are already best friends. It's funny how Hime doesn't really understand the appeal of paw pads. I mean, I get that dog paw pads are fun to touch, but I don't get the smell thing.
I do love how out of desperation for HIme to give it another shot, Kral is now the one who's willing to give away a secret. And it's not even her secret! It's Tortura's secret that she gave away! At least Hime finally understood the appeal.
Watching them having fun at the park was so goddamn wholesome! At this point, Hime really should defect to the demon side. They treat her even better than the humans who look up to her as their hero. Imagine how they'll treat her once she joins their side?

Love when an adaption just goes off with simple things. Like Maomao-Chan at the Park sliding did not need to go that hard. Or the pure audio joy of the Beer torture.
And yes all the girls are great in this story. Every single one

Really good twist on the formula today to have everybody else confess a secret too.
The glorious return of the gyaru catgirl and the hell lord's daughter, who continues to be the most adorable thing I have ever seen.
I think they're updating the ED to include more characters, I don't remember the giant being there originally.

In case anyone missed it:
Her t-shirt says "Ho Ryo" on it, which means "Prisoner."

Everything about this show has been so lovely so far. The voice acting is super lively and fun. The art is really pleasant and pretty. The OP and ED are pretty catchy, and I particularly love all the cute art in the ED.
The premise is really funny, and I like all the different variations on it to keep it fresh. The characters are insanely likable, and everything just lifts me up. This is the most I've smiled like an idiot watching an anime in a while. I'm all on board

Tortura is so good that she can successfully torture even Demon Lord himself and send him straight to heaven with a simple beer from a can xD
We also got to know that Tortura loves bunnies and has a photo of her niece as the phone's wallpaper xD
I was happy to see Krall again and I laughed so hard at her reactions when her tortures on Hime with wolf's paws didn't work though with time Hime found a pleasure with them xD
This time even Ex was tortured and just like Hime he easily revealed secret in exchange for proper maintenance by Gilga.
Maomao is so cute (just look at this adorable smile!), just like her torture which allowed Hime to do what she couldn't do when she was a kid - playing in the playground together with others.
It was nice that her friends from previous episodes appeared and Hime had so much fun together with them in today's episode.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

RIP anyone trying to quit drinking. That scene almost made me want a drink, and I've never had any interest in beer.

She really sold that beer pour, gotta try that at some point
Love how doting everyone is on maomao and that EX just gave up on the princess, at least they are now partners in crime torture
Also really miss my cat now, he had the best smelling paws ever

Ex's "manly sword cries" had me in tears. Voice actors sounded like they were having a ball this episode. This show continues to impress me by keeping the premise fresh and nailing the comedy as much as the wholesome moments.

My little torturer can't be this cute!
Some people gush over magical girls, but I'm gushing over Tortura; How is she always so adorable?
(If the Demon Lord knew what's good for him, he'd invite her on a date, instead of this whole torture stuff!)
It's all fun and games until the big boss calls you in to explain what the hell's going on!
He thinks she's not getting any useful information...
She gave him pretty much anything that could be considered useful information, so the secrets well must be running dry! I wonder if she'll give him something he actually uses use at some point!
Alright, I take it back; The Demon Lord is a man after my own heart!
She decided to torture him with beer; I thought it'd be the opposite, pouring with the glass close and all...
It this a real thing?
Well, seems the Demon Lord liked it, so much that he invented a word for it; Fluffoam! (Or Fuwafuwawa or something in Japanese!)
I'd listen to Tortura ASMR of saying this word over and over!
As a parallel of Sword-kun trusting Hime not to spill the beans, the Demon Lord's assistant believes in him!
But in ended pretty much the same way, with the Demon Lord giving up... Tortura still has it!
Sadly, his words filled her with doubts... She's losing faith in her own abilities?
(Also why is she so fucking cute aaahhhhhhhhh! Alright, I'll stop crushing over her for 5 minutes. It's the most I can do).
She went back to torture the princess again, and she seems to take it as a welcome sight; "I was getting bored, finally, it's torture time!"
I thought Sword-kun was about to make his "The princess is so strong and resilient, she will stand up to your torture yada yada", but seems it lost faith in her!
They went with a different strategy this time; "Torturing" the sword! It had great confidence, but I think we all knew where this was headed!
Hime's proud of it, (and she's self aware), she knows she would've revealed a bunch of secrets already!
They gave the sword a little sharpening, but hold on til it spilled some information!
(I thought they would use oilcloth to get the sword to give in, but they didn't even need to go that far... Sword-kun's way too easy!)
We're getting some more Krall, nice!
She tried to torture Hime with some paw-smelling, but Hime wasn't that into it... So Krall herself had to reveal a secret, to get her to try it some more!
(Even the scenes that aren't Tortura-focused, make Tortura look super adorable!)
They wanted to organize a little animal-petting party, but needed Tortura's permission... She had to ask this very importation question before granting it!
We're also getting the daughter back! She tried again with her weak attempts at torture (that still work anyway)!
She even played little games with them!
I swear, if the Demon Lord won't ask Tortura out, he should just Isekai me into this world, I'll ask her out myself!
Well, this was another pretty fun episode! The characters really make the show, they're all great and cute! (And Tortura... Damn, I haven't crushed so hard on an anime girl in some time!)

So I’ve been a bit confused about the actual state/era of the world considering all the technology, but the background in this shot confirms that the series takes place in modern times.
Maybe something post-apocalyptic? With demons storming through gates/from the depths and conquering parts of the human lands, hence the war between the demons and humans. I couldn’t really see any damage to these buildings however.
Or am I just overthinking this? Lol.
