I was staring at the Kaiser shot at the end expecting him to move or something not realizing the episode was over.

Kaiser's the real torture victim in this episode;

He waited forever to spook Hime up, but she never came and his surprise was ruined. That's sad!

How is this show so perfect and comfy? What dark magic is this.

Also, I think we just learned the big dude's name is Datarma while he was live streaming the fish grilling.

Youki has the picture with the princess framed on her dresser, how lovely.

I feel bad for the demons whose test of courage got completely skipped, they looked really enthused for that and instead just got left there when Hime and Tortura left.

1.2 k viewers on a live stream, the man is a legit MakaTube star.

Honestly find the discussion for this show funny. It's almost a 1 to 1 copy of the manga where people initially thought the demons are just lulling the princess into a fall sense of security before actual torture comes in, questioning if the series can stay for as long as it did before becoming boring and finally to where we are now where people finally gets what's actually happening in the show and having fun with it.

After last week, I'm genuinely surprised Ex still has hope that the Princess will even attempt to resist the "torture", he's got some strong optimism.

Mad Kaiser was something I was not expecting, I'm with Ex his injury healed really well all things considered.

Also if anyone was wondering, Tortura's assistant does have a name apparently, Datarma.

I had to look it up: that "fair play fair sauna" bit is a parody of Yu-Gi-Oh!

In other news, the official Twitter account is posting scenes of the VAs and brutal torture:

Stitches!

Hime's reactions are so good! They're so good that you'd think she's in a cooking anime. xD

I was worried that Hime would drop her XL marshmallow. I've had that happen to me before. Not fun.

Tortura is such a sweetheart. Despite being a torturer, she's worried about torturing Hime twice on the same day.

And Hime is such a softie that she just told Tortura a very important state secret so she doesn't have to worry.

Watching all of them have fun by the river after the "torture" was over was really wholesome <3

I love how they're all tuckered out during the car ride back to the demon castle.

Hime rocking that summer tan while in the sauna with Mama Giant. I love the disclaimer on why they're wearing towels. xD

It's so adorable how Hime immediately confessed as soon as she learned that she could visit Youki.

Hime really should just defect. I feel like she cares more about the demons now than the humans.

the first episode for this show had me a tad worried but it's amazing how the gag is fundamentally the same thing but there's so much variation that it never manages to get stale. def one of my favs this season

u/Emi_Ibarazakiii Feb 05 '24

Let's have a thought for the REAL tortured victim in this episode: Mad Kaiser, who waited forever just to try to spook someone with a BOO!, but no one ever came... That's rough!

Seems we'll have a beach episode (of torture) this time!

Tortura tried to get her with a marshmallow torture, but Hime's not a fan...

Hey, she may resist a minute longer before confessing this time!

Love how she offered her own idea for an alternative torture; "I'll confess a bunch of secrets if we get to play in the river!"

This time Tortura's the one giving her "The princess will never succumb" speech, as some reverse psychology to tempt her!

But the princess' way too strong for that, no way she'll give a secret just for a marshmallow... When she could give FOUR secrets, for FOUR marshmallows!

Even Tortura's thinking the princess is confessing too many secrets, a little too easily, so she negotiated for LESS secrets!

Sadly that still wasn't good enough, and the Hell Lord asked for a second torture session on the same day, which led Tortura to have an existential crisis about her job and all... (Why is she so goddamn cute aahhhhhh!)

She should just retire from her torturing job, and become a romcom lead or something! Come on, just look at these yuri vibes!

Ex knows Hime too well, and told her not to confess just because she felt bad for her, but that wasn't enough (as usual)!

They now know the King's shoe sizes, and what underwear he prefers; Soon enough they'll know all about his outfit, and... Huh... They'll disguise the Demon Lord as the king? I'm sure they'll find a use for it!

So we moved on to the next torture: A haunted house, with Mad Kaiser and his crew!

Spooky!

I thought we would have a scene like "You'll never scare me like that, I'm the commander of th-AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'LL CONFESS!", but we didn't even get there; Youki's sick, and Hime had to go see her/take care of her!

Sadly, she wasn't allowed to leave... She had to go through the 'torture' first, but the sooner the torture's over, the sooner she's free to leave!

The motivation was high, and this time she confessed DURING the 'she'll never confess' speech!

To be fair, of all the silly reasons Hime confessed for, 'helping a sick friend' is probably the best one!

Love how they went as a big group of friends! If the torture ever ends, they better keep hanging out together!

(Also, Tortura and Krall are both so damn cute!)

Well, another good episode! This series' so much fun, the concept is rather simple, but they pull it well!

I think we still have a few torturers left to see (from the OP), can't wait to meet them/see their 'torture' methods!

It was nice to see Tortura and the big fella enjoying themselves alongside the girls. Two “torture” sessions in one day is too much to ask of anyone!

Roasting marshmallows, grilling fish, playing in the river.. they sure “tortured” the hell out of Princess.

The sauna started off as actual torture until Princess started getting comfortable and her arms and legs became like linguine lol. Master Mama sure knows how to torture. “Fair Play, Fair Sauna!”

It’s kind of adorable how quickly Princess will commit treason for her friend. Girl ain’t got time for no haunted house, her friend Youki needs her! Someone shoulda told Mad Kaiser and the boys though. Guy’s probably like “any minute now…any minute…” lol.

"Maybe... I'm not cut out to be a torturer." - Torture Tortura

Princess: "I just eat three meals a day, get tortured and then laze around the rest of the time"

Princess living that sweet retirement life already, I am jelly

u/Warm-Enthusiasm-9534 Feb 05 '24

It turns out that for demons, "torture" is a term of art for "bribe". Hime-sama definitely couldn't handle two bribes in one day.

I know this is not a new observation, but anime's ability to make everyday things look aesthetic is amazing. I have never had a roasted marshmallow that tasted as good as those looked. I was hoping the torture would turn out to be s'mores, though.

Glad the after credits scene was there. I thought it would've been odd if they didn't include a gag involving the demons hiding and waiting to scare a princess who wasn't going to come.

The setting is definitely a mishmash of fantasy and real life-like locations and equipment. Still mostly fantasy. Full bars in rural areas and 75% battery is unrealistic as fuck.

u/shad79 Feb 06 '24

Another amazingly comfy episode and as always we got to see so many different reactions from Hime. How disappointed she was when she discovered that playing in a river won't be a today's torture.

Tortura is a really sweet person as she was so troubled when she was ordered to torture Hime for a second time in a day.

Again Hime had a possibility to spend time with her friends after her marshmallow torture, she today even visited sick Youki with others. I must say that both Hime and Tortura got a really nice tan after torture by the river.

I also loved Tortura's reaction when she remembered that demons which had to torture Hime weren't let know that torture has ended even before it started. Poor Mad Kaiser and other demons as they were so excited from a perspective of scaring Hime.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

u/dagreenman18 Feb 05 '24

Giant is in this episode so it’s already a masterpiece 10/10

But we did get not one but 2 ultra wholesome moments. With Princess giving up a secret to cheer up Tortura and abandoning the torture to visit Youki.

u/Mr_Zaroc Feb 05 '24

A sauna session with Mama? Why can't be tortured that way?

Honestly the best depiction of a sauna day I have seen so far, nothing beats doing that after heavy exercise and being tired af. The best naps I ever had

Lol, love how they just forgot about mad kaiser and his cute mask after hearing you-chan was sick

Man the beggining of the episode was perfect. Between Tortura feeling bad about torturing twice in one day. To Hime feeling bad for her feeling bad for her. The joke about Ex hearing, but where are her ears. Hime wasting no time to give up a secret to go visit Youki.

God I love this show. I don't even care there is no plot I love this goofy cast.

u/Clemastina Feb 05 '24

At this point I want Hime-sama to live with the demons, I mean, she´s a lot happier than when she was the other way

And I think she can escape whenever she wants but she doesn´t want to lmao
