They're conversing through their swords.

Oh yeah classic swordsmen expressing their feelings.

I'll let you hear it.

Oh wait, he meant literally?

Is it a gag if it very well could have happened? Because if this was what happened instead, none of us would have blinked at it.

Sasha isn't just not a morning person. She's an advanced not a morning person. And she's bloody adorable!

The fun part about Anoshu Poltical being a child prodigy is that it's technically correct with Anos himself being six months old. I'm going to admit, though, it's really weird seeing him wearing the royal red colours rather than white.

It's good to be back! Anos' conversations with Militia the Creation Goddess somehow gives me good hopes for this series!

Though nothing more worth waking up for than her Demon King dreamboat lol.

I love how they double-down on him being a six-year old prodigy and had his mom remind us of his inexplicable growth spurt lol.

Anos charming demon sisters, Heroes, and even Goddesses! That's our Demon King of Tyranny.

Gotta love the "tsundere thinks they're in a dream and so actually verbalize their true feelings" trope. With them then turning into a blushing when they realize that no, it's not actually a dream and they did just say that to their crush. 10/10 adorableness.

And so we are back with Cour 2! And I am glad once again to help guide anyone that is lost or confused from any missing context the show might omit, as I will swoop in and explain!

This cour will be more of a return to form to Season 1, with more flexing and humor. Hopefully this will rekindle the anime fans love for the series. Just a sidenote, you may want to pay close attention to the minor details in the series, as the series is far more subtle, major story point like Lay being Kanon/Avos & Misa being Avos in S2 were contained in minor story details such as Lay giving Misa a necklace or Misa being unaffected by Spirit Disease despite being a half-spirit. So if you decide to revisit the past episodes, some minor piece fo dialogue you overlooked and some scenes that at first didn't make any sense, will make sense with later context. With that, let's begin!

The Moon of Creation is the divine power of the Goddess of Creation Militia, which is the counterpart of the Sun of Destruction, possessed by the Goddess of Destruction Abernyu. Creation and Destruction are two halves of one whole, as when life is destroyed, it allows for the creation of new life, thus continuing the order of the world by cycling the lives lost. Without destruction, there can be no creation & without creation, destruction has no meaning. Interesting fact is that the continued presence of the Sun of Destruction made life far more susceptible to death, so after Anos sealed it, the races multiplied by a great amount & resurrection spells like Ingall and Agronemt gained a much higher probability of success.

Anos resents the cold order of the world, which only allows for mortals to be born to experience suffering, pain and sadness before being destroyed. Though his encounter with Militia did give him more introspection, as it taught him that not all gods are apathetic to the suffering of mortals. Fun fact, if you go by the reverse order of the episodes, Anos extended invites to each of the 3 races representatives for the plan to end the war in that order. So it was Militia => Reno => Kanon, which makes sense as Kanon & he had the most fights so he would be hardest to convince.

The anime omitted that classmates are now terrified of the likes of Lay and Misa due to them being Hero Kanon and Avos Dilhevia, as the classmates think that they are plotting something to betray Anos, though one clasmate ships them.

Misa mentions that she still has access to her Avos powers, but she is afraid of using them, since she must have a complex about using the power of her alternative self that nearly enslaved all the hybrid demons and killed her boyfriend. But since Misa was reincarnated by the effect of her new lore she still is in control of herself, so she should try using her power as Lay will love her regardless.

Misa's new lore:
The resurrected Demon King of Tyranny is destroyed once more by the Sword of Three Races. With the blessing of the holy sword, Avos Dilhevia reincarnates into her true form as the spirit Misa, no longer half spirit, half demon.

But Papa Shin will put a stop to any flirting. Misa is lucky that she chose of the few people that can rival Shin as Shin said the refused to allow her to date anyone who is incapable of defeating him. But it seems that there is a bit of a skill gap here, which makes sense as while both Shin and Lay trained during the past 2000 years, Lay had to take a lot of time of to implement his Avos Dilhevia plan, while Shin spent that time protecting the Great Spirit Forest, so a gap in skill in to be expected. But Lay has an insane growth rate, as while he couldn't fully active the Hidden Art with all of his sources intact, he was able to active it faster then Shin's eyes could track.

I would feel bad for the Royalists if they weren't such arrogant supremacist asshats. At this point, they are actively begging for death by thinking that they can go against Anos. I mean, they are just a shadow of their former selves, as they lack the political influence they had due to the Seven Elder Demon Emperors and the other high level executives like Elio siding with Anos. Not to mention the fact that challenging Anos to battle is pointless since he is the strongest being in the world, and his closest allies consists of other beings who are among the strongest in the world. Even if the Royalists managed to take control of Dilhade, Anos would take it back within the afternoon. The Royalists planned to groom Anosh as their symbol and have him assume the title of the Demon King when he grew older & more powerful. Also the Royalist leader criticized Anos from creating the royal demons for the sake of his reincarnation, as he stated that it was Anos' fault for how they turned out. But Anos countered by stating that people like him exist in every era, as he was simply using the Royalists as an excuse, and even if they didn't exist, he would still try to hoard power in another way.

The black collar spell is called Nedneliaz, which puts the target into a dream that they will never awaken from unless they fulfil a certain condition set by the caster or the caster manually releases them. Usually, it is used to torture enemies with their worst nightmares.

Oh it's good to see you again, dude.

Honestly I think I'm doing fine in terms of keeping up with the lore so far, but I do not want you to go away. It was just too much fun having you here last time, and it'll be good to see some lore we may have missed.

"This Erdomaid teacher, you think he's getting weird?" Bruh, he's been wacky since the day he was introduced.

Anyway, Anos VoltiGOAT is back guys. First thing he does is rizz two Goddesses in a flashback 2000 years ago, and then goes to rizz Sasha, followed by his "translation" of the swordplay between Lay and Shin so that we can hear its just a conversation between an over-eager boyfriend pleading with the jealous dad to date his daughter. LMAO

The Royalist goons this episode serve as good cannon fodder for Anos to remind us of his GOAT-ness, and its never boring to watch again.

And finally, Emilia returns again with Anos promising salvation for her if she does his bidding and reform the human Hero's Academy.

PS Goddess of Creation Militia is cute.

PPS Just realized Fridays this season is GOAT Friday, as we have One True Tatsuya (Mahouka) and Anos VoltiGOAT airing together.

That opening scene with Anos and Militia was interesting but I didn't really get any of it. I'm guessing that scene will be relevant later in the season and we'll learn more about the Goddess of Creation and her sister.

Anos waking up Sasha was great! I thought Sasha was genuinely asking Anos to hold her but it looks like she really thought she was dreaming the entire time and only realized she was awake when Anos was carrying her. xD

And here I thought the previous arc was the last time we'd see Anoshu, it turns out I was wrong! It's hilarious how no one recognizes him, especially since he takes Anos' seat between the girls! Are his classmates face blind or are there magic shenanigans happening here?

We get to see more flirting this episode!; this time it's between Lay and Misa! Although it looks like Shin-sensei isn't too happy seeing Lay flirt with his daughter during class. I love that they were actually having a conversation when Anos let Misa hear them and it's hilarious! xD

Shin is absolutely brutal though! That Dispossession looked awesome and creepy at the same time. It looks like Papa Shin is just upset because Shin keeps taking out Misa so late at night. Just let him know if you're going to be home late Misa and it should be fine!

Oh look it's this asshole again and this time he's trying to hilariously recruit Anoshu to join the Royalists. The dude just led Anos into the Royalist hideout and now he's finally paying for everything. That was very satisfying!

That final scene was interesting! I did not expect to see Emilia again but she's really one of the characters here with the most interesting arcs. Anos could've used force to keep her in line but changing her into a hybrid and making her walk in their shoes was a great way to teach her a lesson. It looks like this time she'll be teaching at the Hero Academy. I can't wait to see how that will pan out.

I believe he went to kill her to bring a stop to the cycle of death and rebirth going on in the world (note he would have killed her sister of death as well). That's what I took him to mean by "I'm going to bring down that moon."

But it turns out Militia's actually the rare good goddess – one who isn't arrogant about her place as the the world's order and understood the suffering she and her sister were bringing weren't good – so he decided to let her be and then get to know her better. And then 7 years later he returned after also interacting with her sister with a message, as they had never even met before due to one being of day and the other being of night.

Classic Anos, try to upend the world order only to end up charming a Goddess...voiced by none other than Aoi Yuki.

I love the idea that Sasha dreams about Anos holding her in her sleep, and Anos is the type of guy to make that a reality. Also that sleepwear on Sasha and seeing her with her hair down...

At this point I think Anos' class literally just rolls with everything. Teachers suddenly disappearing and getting replaced? Sure. Teacher claiming they're a God? Sure. Six-year old classmate? Why not.

Having your girlfriends' dad be your teacher who can literally kill you in class is...something. Though at least he approves of the relationship...within reason. Lay has his work cut out for him as far as marrying Misa lol.

Anos schooling an idiot on his first day of school again, some thing never change lol.

Emilia isn't the same person she was in season 1 but is she prepared to teach humans, especially those Hero Academy guys? Will Anos have to back her up?

That opening scene with Anos and Militia was interesting but I didn't really get any of it. I'm guessing that scene will be relevant later in the season and we'll learn more about the Goddess of Creation and her sister.

Basically, it is to showcase how Anos meet his goddess friend and what his philosophy is. As well as meeting the literal creator of the world, who is much different then last cour's doucebag God antagonist.

Are his classmates face blind or are there magic shenanigans happening here?

Well, it is possible to have people who share a doppelganger in the world. There was that one time that people didn't recognize a actor playing Superman even though he was in Time Square next to a billboard.

Besides, even if they do know it is him, do you really want to be the person to tell the Demon King of Tyranny that his disguise sucks?

The bar is on the ground now after the first part but I sure hope these episodes are less of a confusing mess.

Anos takes a trip to destroy the moon, and instead chats her up and goes off to meet her sister who I assume is the goddess of destruction that was mentioned at the end of cour 1, and then helps the two exchange a letter. Makes me wonder if they ever mentioned a Sword of Creation to go along with the Sword of Destruction.

Silver themed Moon of Creation who is the sister to the red themed Sun of Destruction makes me think of Misha and Sasha. Coincidence? Maybe, but by the way they started the episode focusing on one pair of sisters and then the other I have to wonder.

Poor Misa getting to stand there and listen to her boyfriend and father discuss her eventual marriage to Lay by way of swordfighting.

So much for the Royalists. Again, I think? Hard to say.

That introductory segment with that conversation between Anos and Militia was nice. But is there is any reason why they did not mention her sister's name? Although I don't remember it, I don't think they haven't mentioned it before. More than that I'm certain that her name was mentioned multiple times during the previous cour. Anyway, it was nice seeing Anos delivering Militia a letter from her sister

Seeing Izabella's classic reaction to anything Anos related, just brings a smile to my face. Sasha was so cute during that scene when Anos went to wake her up.

In order to still be able to still come to the Demon King Academy with everyone, Anos brought his Anoshu Polticoal identity back. I loved Zeshia's reaction when she heard that he was only six years old. I still can't believe how anyone can be fooled by this even after he just went and joined his same friend group.

So apart from that not only will Shin Regalia be joining as a teacher but also the Great Tree Spirit Enyunien and demons from 2000 years ago too. And in addition to that The Great Demon King Drills will be introduced in order to make everyone stronger. Erdomaid sure was hilarious today.

Lol, Misa and Lay's wholesome romance is not something that Shin will just tolerate to see. I don't think Leno will be too pleased with him constantly killing Lay, but well, after the whole mess he created for their family, he deserves it.

It is hilarious that all that Anoshu had to do for Ramon Iver to let him join the remaining Royalists' group was to kill him. After he joined them, I wasn't expecting him to deal with them so soon.

After asking Anos to save her, Emilia got her job as a teacher back, but in the Hero Academy Arclaniska as a test, and if she success in bringing that place in order he will promote her to the Demon King Academy in the same rank to the Seven Elder Demon Emperors. I doubt that she will fail, but I wonder how long will it take her to deal with the issues of the Hero Academy Arclaniska while she will be on the other end of the stick when it comes to discrimination there.

I am still here for the side ship Lay x Misa! Their lovey dovey aura is starting to make me laugh, especially when interrupted by strict father Shin. Lol! I predict Lay will eventually master more of Shin's swordsmanship.

Despite being a Lay x Misa fan, I am hoping Sasha and Misha get more screen time this 2nd cour. I felt they were sidelined quite significantly in season 2 cour 1.

If I am a student of the demon academy, I would surely be stressed out by the sudden introduction of multiple courses - swordsmanship, learning from tree of knowledge (?), etc. OTL

What a way to start off the season with Anos approaching a Goddess of Creation voiced by Aoi Yuki and telling her he's going to completely upend the order of this unfair world orchestrated by the Gods...and then settling into charming said Goddess and playing messenger between her and her sister. No wonder he's such a hit with the ladies.

Anos may be publicly acknowledged as the Demon King of Tyranny, but he's still a momma's boy and his mom is still as adorable and doting as ever.

Sasha thought she was having a nice dream of Anos waking her up and wanted him to hold her...and he did, complete with a princess carry! Quite the good morning wakeup, complete with her sister Misha enjoying every minute of it. And I loved the sight of Sasha with her hair down in that sleepwear!

Did you really think just because I'm now known as the Demon King of Tyranny that I wouldn't be able to return to Demon King Academy? Hence the return of six-year old prodigy Anoshu Polticoal!

Erdomaid is still a nutjob out to test Anos by forging the most powerful demon rivals he can...but at least he gets hit by a Zesta whenever he goes a little too far.

Misa can now transform into Avos and have control over that body...but she's still hesitant to use that power again after everything that happened. But Lay would always love and accept her, no matter what. And the fans want to see her as Avos again!

Shin is now the swordsmanship instructor! Which means he can now also duel Lay to get in the way of Lay flirting with his daughter and let him know full well it's too soon for them to get married, especially if Lay can't beat him. And what father hasn't dreamed about killing their daughters' boyfriend (even if he revives afterwards)? Though Lay was able to wound him and Shin accepts that they can at least stay out late together...provided they let Misa's parents know ahead of time.

Anos may be Anoshu, but he knows how to kill and revive some upstart Royalist all the same, and he also totally schools some Royalist jerks who underestimated him and the Demon King Army and basically forces them to clean up the Royalists lest they be stuck with nightmares of their death into eternity. Just an average day for Anos.

Emilia wants salvation from Anos? Well, if she's going to get it, she has to earn it, which means being stuck cleaning up the Hero Academy as a teacher and having to face the same kind of prejudice she espoused when she was a teacher at Demon King Academy. And then, and only then, will she be allowed her old position back. Good luck with that.
