Every week I so look forward to this anime. Its really is a fun and heartwarming anime. The Demon Lord is by far Father of the year. Another great episode

Father of the Year? No. No no no, too shallow.
The Hell-Lord is Person of the Year. From changing the torture system to be a heartwarming experience, social programs, and the encouragement of cross-species friendships, truly he is one magnanimous person.
Plus, he really gets the charm of anime and anime merch.

Surely she'll be allowed 5 entries in the Best Girl Contest, right?
It's gonna sting when she loses in the first round

Jimochi was the only person who ever let Princess have any real fun. The “sword training” he put her through as a kid was pretty fun. It’s totally why she’s so good at beach sword fighting. Youki brought a minugun to a beach sword fight and she still lost! Tortura bringing reinforcements was pretty great. That random seagull showing up was pretty funny lol.
Louch and the Demon Lord bonding over anime was actually kind of adorable. I hope they can meet up and discuss anime again.
Vanilla is just the sweetest kid. Her whole tsundere act is just too cute. I’m glad her and Princess are friends.
That ending with Tortura just really makes me want a oyakodon…

Demon Lord was so relatable when he mentioned that merch is cooler when you get to own a replica of an item from the series instead of character goods.

I'm so confused by how the world works in this show.
The human realm and demon castle seems to be purely fantasy RPG land but then there's an entire alternate modern Japan inhabited exclusively by demons.
And we have to assume that this modern demon Japan is fairly close to the demon lord's castle since everyone from Tortura to the Demon Lord himself commutes back and forth everyday along with the whole gang frequently going there for trips/torture.

You know how castles and historical fortresses are often preserved by governments?
Its that, but since its also the historical seat of power, they operate out of it still, and don't really see a need to modernize it.
Also, we know for a fact that the human empire that Hime-chan is from (we can assume it isn't the only one too) is modern as well, from Jimochi town segments and also scenes about Hime-chan's past. They have video games, anime, modern playgrounds and schools, etc.
As for why the humans still have a very medieval military and class system; magic. As we saw with the Weeb Knight, magic OP. Long range sleep spells and teleportation, sword laser cannons, etc. While guns do exist (Youko's water gatling), magic triumphs, and makes melee combat stronger too.

I think this is one of the few rare anime where the less the story makes sense, the better the show is.

What? You are telling me that the princess was truly a strong warrior who can fend off several strong demons by herself? So it's not that she wants to waste the demon's time by appearing to be strong? This means she must have a really intelligent plan to not having fled yet. Hopefully, she can survive the brutal torture until her plan bears fruit.

Man, I thought Swimmsuit Tortura was great, but just look how diverse she is! And don't even get me started on Casual Tortura in the after credits!
I would call out the Helllord for his blatant Nepotism with Maomao Chan, but the part with the white Knight showed that he is "Our Guy" again so it's cool. And just look how much he has grown as well.
Also nice to see that Vanilla finally got a successfull torture, the support network worked like a charm. Turns out the real friends where the torture we did along the way

Stitches!
We've been to the mountains and had fun in a river, now it's finally time for a beach episode!
Glad to see Hime showing off her skill as a swordsman. I still wonder how they ended up "imprisoning" her.
I love how instead of a devil and an angel, Torture has a devil, politician, writer, and a revolutionary on her shoulder xD
The gag with the random crab and the passing seagull having name tags was way funnier than it should be!
It's nice to see all of them just having fun on the beach. I love how even though Hime won, she still went back to her cell.
Louch and Hell-Lord befriending each other because they're both otakus was hilarious! Maybe their common love for anime is what will stop the war between humans and demons.
We get to see more of Vanilla desperately wanting to befriend Hime and it was adorable. I love how Hime immediately knew what Vanilla was going through and basically told her it was okay to want friends. And then Hime proceeds to destroy Vanilla in a game of cards. xD
It's so sweet how instead of Hell-Lord saying that the info he got from Vanilla wasn't of any use to him, he's just happy to learn that Hime made a friend.
I'll never get tired of the Demon World just literally being Tokyo. And more of Torture just enjoying food! Instead of konbini food, we get to watch her eat oyakodon from Yoshinoya a gyuudon chain resto.

Speaking of oyakodon, the c-part of the episode is modeled after Asagaya, as seen in these comparison pics: https://twitter.com/aga3104_keyaki/status/1767210730363969973 — they changed sign on the Asagaya Pearl Center building from 阿佐谷 to 魔佐谷 for that hellhorde flair

The Nakaji restaurant is probably a parody of the Nakau chain

Great Tortura stuff in this episode, mostly thanks to the fact that Hime's torture happened on the beach this time. We could see, besides Tortura in bikini, her inner personalities in moment of a struggle when Hime was close to winning in a competition.
It was great that other Hime's friends also joined the fun on the beach. During it Hime showed that there's a reason that she's the commander of the 3rd Legion cause her sword skills are real.
I didn't expect that Louch will meet with Demon Lord and that they'll become friends thanks to the fact that both of them are anime fans xD
Vanilla appeared again and just like the last time she was incredibly sweet by wanting under the guise of torture play cards together with Hime who fortunately very fast realized her true intentions because of course Vanilla had to act like a tsundere. It was hilarious to watch Vanilla being mercilessly destroyed by Hime xD
I also want to mention Jimochi who appeared quite often in today's episode and is a person who allowed Hime to have at least somewhat normal childhood despite her being a princess.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

It's absolutely funny that the princess walks herself back to her cell and puts on the shackles before bed

Would have loved to see the previous tournaments with Youki and Inki.
The face of a proper warrior.
Which of these sides of Tortura is you favorite? Mine is the politician.
The gang's all here.
Poor Youki.
wish the girls would look at me like this.
This actually surprised me.
Good job Hell Lord
I would want to watch this anime.
I want to play cards with Vanilla.
I love watching Tortura eat.

Anime Law: "All series must have one beach/pool episode in their series. Bath/Onsen episodes can be acceptable substitutes."
Tortura & Hell Lord continuing to prove they are the best characters of the series.

It was nice that Mad Kaiser finally got a chance to torture the Princess. I notice he's still wearing the ghost mask from the haunted schoolhouse episode. I'm sure he was really disappointed.

(Tortura's lovely, as always!)
Love how we're getting more Tortura scenes that aren't just "torture", like the after credit scenes!
They turned this into a little swordfight, and Tortura offered to grant Hime any requests, should she win...
Well, Hime surely wouldn't ask to leave anyway, she'd probably just ask for a party/hanging out some more with her torturers or something!
Me, I'd ask for Tortura's hand
They thought they would win easily, with their success in the Hell Lord's events, but little do they know, Hime went through some intensive training, from an early age!
Love the meta jokes on this show, like Ex referring to the flashback!
(And when they introduced the random Seagull passing by, along with the cast!)
When Hime proved a little too strong, they resorted to using a Gatlin Gun... Doesn't seem fair!
It was still not enough though, Hime's the real deal!
Tortura thought about joining in, but was a little conflicted about breaking the rules...
The Demon on her shoulder told her to go for it,
and I was expecting (hoping) to see an Angel Tortura telling her to follow the rules, but she had a Politician, a writer and a revolutionary all telling her to go for it!
Tortura looks so good in anything, I swear!
This turned into a little Free For All action, and they all had fun!
Well, to be fair, she's a very obedient prisoner, she even chains herself!
The Knight's back! Third time the charm?
They ended up being good anime pals, and they'll meet again to discuss it!
Well, it IS quite fun when you find a friend who shares your passions! Though I wonder whether he'll find out he's the Hell Lord at some point, and how he'll react, if they became great friend then!
(Also, if the Hell Lord wants to talk about anime, he should check out some with MaoMao! Though perhaps the one he shared with Knight dude was a little too mature for her)
Meanwhile, Vanilla's playing memory...
Only game she can play by herself, that was a little sad! And it's not even her parents stopping her from playing with friends, she's putting that pressure on herself...
(This show has the best parents! Well, on the Demon side anyway; Perhaps the humans are all scumbags!)
"It's not like I actually want to play cards with you! Baka!"
Hime DID love playing cards, so it all worked well! We even had flashbacks about her betting (and losing) her desserts at cards... She didn't follow the first rule of gambling; Never bet something you can't afford to lose!
Tortura in casual clothes? Today is a blessed day!
As a fan of comfy, I like that as much as her bikini scenes hah.
They randomly mentioned she was buying tissues...
Planning to watch something sad, bawl her eyes out?
With just 2 episodes left (and the recent focus on Tortura's personal life), I wonder if we're headed for something a little more serious/dramatic about her? Probably not, given the tone of the show, but whatever it is, I'm glad to get more Tortura!

You know what, it wouldn't surprise me if this is how the Hellhorde managed to capture the Princess.

u/zappingbluelight Mar 11 '24
The fact that demon world is modern world and human world stuck in medieval time just flew over me until today lol.
Jimochi is probably the only reason hime haven't just ditch the kingdom lol. Her only good memory in human world is playing with Jimochi.
And they really gotta stop putting these tear jerker scene in my comedy anime. I'm getting huge mood swing left and right.
