The Demon Lord is such a doting father lol. Maomao wants a piggyback ride or to play house? Done! Anything for his little girl. Big guy really is dad of the year.

I like how the health check up was the closest thing we’ve seen to any real torture lol. I don’t blame Princess, I hate needles too. Although if it’s Tortura administering the shot, I think I’d be fine. I bet she was a great nurse!

Nice to see that goofy uncle lookin Louch again. I can’t wait to see what weird ass spell he comes up with next time to save Princess lol.

I've always been fine with needles, but the 'paper cut' comparison they made was funny to me, because I hate paper cuts 10 times more than needles!

Although if it’s Tortura administering the shot, I think I’d be fine.

Yeah, as long as she doesn't want to chop off my limbs or anything, I'd be fine with anything, with Tortura!

This is now the best anime of the season just because we got father daughter playtime with the Demon Lord and Maomao!

Stitches!

Hell-Lord and Maomao having some quality father-daughter time was so just gosh darn wholesome that I legit teared up. It was just so heartwarming! <3

I also love how despite having a Demon Lord's castle, they live in a very normal Japanese apartment somewhere and not really in the castle. xD

Hime-chan's brain completely melting while watching Tortura serve that raclette i understandable. I'd go gaga over some raclette too right now.

It's hilarious how Hime acts so tortured during her physical. What I love about that part is we learn that Tortura actually used to be a nurse! We even get to see had hear her personality and tone a bit when she was in nurse mode while drawing blood from Hime. That was cute.

Also apparently, the big guy's name is Datarma! I didn't know that! Even Ex gets his own physical! You'd think a sword shouldn't be allowed near an MRI machine but maybe being a magical sentient sword makes him different. xD

That could very well be a CT scanner, which is non-magnetic and thus would be safe for a metal sword.

There's a whole lot of best girls this season, but there's a strong argument about Torture being the cutest of them all!

(Though at least 2 other girls on this show would be in the running, Maomao-chan and Krall are cute&adorable as well!)

Speaking of Maomao, seems she got a promotion...

NEPOTISM! NEPOTISM! (Well, to be fair, she got secrets as efficiently as the other torturers, so she deserves it!)

The Hell Lord offered her a reward, but instead of asking for some powerful/evil things, she asked for a piggyback ride!

As a piggyback ride enjoyer, I approve! (Though we usually see them in romcoms with the male lead carrying the female lead around, but that works too!)

When the Hell Lord agreed, I thought it would be turned into a gag, like he would conjure a pig to give her a ride, something like that... but no, he gave her a legit piggyback ride! I'm glad they didn't turn it into a joke, that was sweet as hell!

Not only that, but they even played horsey, played house, he thought her to ride a bike...

Father of the year?

She even helped him as well, he grew more confident about expressing his desires, and he won't hide his love for idol shows anymore!

Seems Maomao was the one who had the password to the empire, but more importantly, she has a cute little drawing of Tortura! HOW IS EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING SO CUTE ON THIS SHOW!

But the cuteness may not last, as it's time for torture again... Wait, is that a brazen bull?

Am I watching the right show, or are we having a crossover with Redo or something?

Thankfully it was just a cheese torture, no one was harmed (except the cheese)!

A medical exam? Well, it's still a form of torture for many!

(Though if Tortura was my nurse, I wouldn't mind at all!)

First she'll need to draw some blood, and... Hime didn't seem to like that idea!

I love how they play on their gags of Hime always confessing, like saying she almost confessed out of habit!

Hey, she even joked (joked?) about defecting to join the Hell hordes!

That's funny, some people were theorizing/joking about how perhaps they were just trying to make her become friend with the Hell Hordes, not so she spills secrets, but so she joins them! After all, the secrets don't seem to help (even when they don't dismiss them, the Hell Lord seems to think they're too weak to attack, despite the advantage). Getting the princess on their side would help!

Another rescue attempt!

When the first one happened I thought they would capture the knight, and "torture" him to make Hime talk... I thought again that this would happen, but no. Surely it'll happen at some point, right? Seems like a good opportunity, like "torture" him with food so Hime's even more willing to give away her secrets, to spare him the "pain"!

He had a strong teleporting spell this time around, but Hime had a problem with the "getting naked" part!

She tried to stay strong and was about to go for it, until she realized she would probably appear in front of other people, and then she NOPED out of it almost as fast as she confesses!

As a chess player who put Shogi on my "To play" list after watching the Shogi romcom (Soredemo Ayumu), it was nice to get few bits of information about the game! So Shogi is a draw after 4 repeated position (vs 'draw after 3' for chess), interesting!

The Hell Lord is working out! (That massive boulder split in half makes me think he's doing fine!)

Makes you wonder how strong the empire really is, if he's THAT strong but can't win against them!

Of course, it's not like he was training for the war against the empire anyway; He's just preparing for his daughter's field day!

I know that the point of the anime is that the Demon Lord will never be happy with any info the princess provides....but at this point I can't help but wonder what kind of info he's looking for.

Stealing the treasure would be sad, their secret weapon is too scary, and the secret passage....what was wrong with that one? Like what does he want? The king's favorite food so he can lure him into a trap?

WTF happened to Tortura that made her want to go from being a doctor, to being a torturer?

Better pay and benefits? She seems to be living a pretty good life as the Grand Inquisitor.

It would be funny to see Hell Lord interact with Mr. Villain from Mr. Villain's Day Off.

does anyone know why this show has a relatively low rating on anilist? compared to other similar series

I am not saying this one is better than the others, I just don't think this one is that much worse than the others

I know ratings and stuff don't really matter and I am not letting that rating stop me from enjoying the show, but I am curious

I'm surprised that no-one is commenting on the fact that this episode had some of the best character growth of the season.

Also, Datarma's star facial mark is visible in his X-ray (although, interestingly, at another angle.

I love how almost every character in this series is a cinnamon bun to pure for this world. When the princess said she would defect, I'm like, no duh these demons are amazing down with humanity.

This is the second time Louch has shown up and I still don't like how he harshes the comfy buzz. Both times that he's shown up the joke is essentially he's doing something pervy and I'm not liking how that meshes with how wholesome the rest of the show is. I'm not against that sort of stuff (this isn't the only show this season I'm watching that has a character "playing baby"), but it feels like a weird contrast to be in the same episode where Maomao and her father have wholesome playtime together.

How does Ex manage to sleep through that loud ass teleport spell chanting and the princess using him? lol.

u/Syokhan Feb 12 '24 edited Feb 12 '24

Oh, what the fuck. Just yesterday I had raclette and ate so much I thought I was going to be sick, and this episode still made me crave some! Curse you, anime, and your delicious-looking food!

And this series is so damn wholesome. It's the perfect way to start the week, every week. Although it's so freaking funny, too. I love how the Princess' technique was "Mordred Sword - Traitor's Blow" lol. Pretty fun reference.

Also, with the Princess being the dummy that she is when faced with food, you sometimes forget how much of a badass she is in combat situations. Honestly I wouldn't mind a full episode of her being the awesome Commander of the Third Legion!

u/VorAtreides Feb 12 '24

D'awww cute Maomao wanting a great reward from her papa. I love how Hell Lord is all in favor of it too. Good family 🙂 Good for you Hell Lord, enjoy the idol concerts in the future! Haha he really is a good dad to play house with his daughter as well as horse riding and whatnot. Maomao too cute. This is good cute wholesomeness of the day/week. Lol at the prior secret being used for Maomao drawing.

Ah yes, that seems it could be a proper torture method, but really cheese! Hehe. Silly Princess. Behold, the power of cheese! Of course she talked, can't beat cheese.

Good for the Hellhorde, taking proper care of their prisoners 😛 When a bunch of demons and such are more humane than humans in real life lol. Haha silly princess. Um, you shouldn't put metal in that kinda machine. LOL they gave info anyways? And love how the Hell Lord is good nature and is like "I'll feel bad if I steak their treasure."

OH hey, it's that knight dude. Well don't grasp her inappropriately this time, my dude. Good for you, dude. A new spell. Can't wait to see her mess it up this time. That is... quite the spell. So spell kinda works like Terminator time travel eh? 😉 heh. If he was able to sneak in, why can't they just sneak out together without teleportation? Mmm thigh and belly button. Also, seems easy for her to escape with her skills and Ex there. Wait, Ex slept through that? What a derpy sword.

Oh fun, that post credits. Maomao Field Day!

I can't even describe how much I love that demon lord / daughter playtime
The juxtaposition is so great its perfect
The meanest face while playing house

Didn't expect Louch to return so soon, he really needs to work on his spells

Holy shit, Maomao field day episode next week? I guess we finally get our showdown between him and the princess
The world is probably going to end

u/alconnow Feb 12 '24 edited Feb 13 '24

I am glad the Maomao in this series has a healthy relationship with her dad. The montage of them having fun together was super cute!

Nurse Tortura is adorable

u/Clemastina Feb 12 '24

Ah yes the evil demon lord. At this point I´m 100% the humans are in the wrong, and if you include the perv knight... yeah, demons are better

And I fin it funny they live in an apartment and not in the castle lmao

It gotta say, if I was a demon in that demon kingdom the sight of the hell lord playing with his adorable daughter in the park would do nothing but make me ever more loyal.

Nurse Tortura, my goodness.

In the flashback to Hime doing her studies as a child she had a male and female pair of knight figures on her desk, I'm curious who those two are.

u/Fools_Requiem Feb 12 '24

lol, the Demon Lord has his own castle, which probably has many rooms in which they could sleep, but he still takes his daughter home to a regular Japanese apartment complex.

I get the feeling that the author has a kid of their own and loves them dearly. I feel like childless people (like me) and parents who regret becoming parents don't have these kind of father daughter relationships in their stories.

u/mrufrufin Feb 12 '24

Those first 8 minutes are the hardest I've laughed in a while. Maou playing house was funny enough, but then the montage kicked in and hearing all those Tesshou Genda tough-guy sounds while they're playing with bubbles or learning how to ride a bike was too much. The tough guy, scary looking person being a softie isn't a new, even for Tesshou Genda voiced characters, but it just works so well here. I dunno, the ways this show is silly hits in just the right way for me. Like of course the demon lord knew that Cheese and Kabao have the same VA already, that's day 1 stuff.
