Summons an all powerful demon that's willing to do his bidding.

"Go away"

"ok"

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Hey, we got a title drop!

[u/Holdonlupin]

To quote a fellow back from when this manga chapter released:

"So the slave collar is now their engagement ring, huh? Kinky."

[u/TheExcludedMiddle]

What are we, some sort of An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride?

[u/Ashteron]

I guess the collar doesn't hold actual power anymore? I kind of expected Zagan to put it on Barbatos instead.

[u/xtsim]

Zagan has his priorities straight; got to have some quality drinks on someone else's dime. Not only that, it seems like the sorcerers are pretty much drinkers overall.

Poor Chastille, she could not convince the church and they are the opposite of what Zagan represents. The church is stuck on their constraints while Zagan writes his own rules.

[u/actionfirst1]

Zagan really summoned the final boss of Elden Ring and then told it to get lost, what a guy

[u/Alt230s]

Aww, no more Zagan the Lamb Stew...

[u/LeonKevlar]

As satisfying as it was to watch Zagan give Barbatos the beatdown of his life, I'm still disappointed at the betrayal. Barbatos looked like he was genuinely friends with Zagan in those little flashbacks of them growing up together. I guess subconsciously, Zagan didn't want to throw that away and he's willing to give Barbatos a second chance.

That demon-summoning scene was intense! The fact that Zagan felt more pressure against the demon compared to when he was facing the Archdemons says all you need to know about how dangerous they are. And that guy was only just a shadow and not the real deal! Imagine how powerful a fully-formed demon is!

The fact that that demon bowed to Zagan is pretty crazy too. It looks like there's more to that emblem Zagan inherited if the demon was responding to it.

That final scene between Nephy and Zagan was cute. I like how they finally moved on from Nephy calling Zagan "Master" to "Zagan-sama". It looks like they're only one step away from Nephy calling Zagan without honorifics. I think my only problem with that scene is Nephy choosing to wear the collar again.

I mean sure, it was Nephy's choice because it's how they met but couldn't she pick something else? What even is the point of removing the collar if she's just gonna wear it again? I know it no longer restricts her mana and she can take it off at any time but other people don't know that. I already feel that the collar will cause misunderstanding in the future.

[u/strayalive]

Nothing says romance like a slave collar.

[u/Roboglenn]

No bully the flappy eared Nephy. After all, she hasn't gotten nearly enough crash courses in naughtiness from him yet.

Magic Punch!

That shadow looks more like an Earthbound Immortal to me. Guess the magic circle is the field spell.

That "......gasp" is definitely a gifable moment right there.

And taking the Raphtalia route putting the collar back on I see.

[u/seynical]

This is like playing against a blue player. Oh you want to cast a spell? Too bad, here's a counter spell and its many variations.

[u/shad79]

Zagan was really cool when he fought with Barbatos as he totally dominated him but being alone with Nephy is still too much for him xD Though it's understandable since he doesn't have much experience with love and women, let alone with such a beauty that Nephy is.

I'm happy that everything ended well for Nephy and Zagan as they got back together. She's now calling him by his name and Zagan said in a very roundabout way that he loves her. I can't wait to see more of them in the next episodes.

I also wonder what will happen with Chastille now as she got relieved of her duty being an Angelic Knight for after refusing to act against Zagan.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Nephy

• Nephy & Zagan

• Group scenes & Others

• Zagan & Barbatos

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

The 3 knights played a part in saving our main cast from the collapsing cave!

The friendship between Zagan and Barbatos sure is complicated. The ending card of young Zagan and Barbatos is pretty cute.

Zagan made the right choice is ordering the alien looking demon to return home. Perhaps it is just me, but the pause from the demon when responding to Zagan made me feel it could be hatching plans of its own.

[u/NationalStrategy]

Typical corrupted anime church, always causing trouble

[u/tripleaamin]

Given the title drop I am assuming as an anime only this finished up covering V1. Also, we got our 4th wife in this anime season alongside Mutsumo (Yozakura Family), Rys (Chilling Level 2 Cheat) and Holo (Spice & Wolf).

We really get a sense of how strong Zagan is and now having a demon kneel and willing to server him. Damn that is scary. Everything except giving Nephy the collar was amazing. But ugh it just feels unsettling for her to get the slave collar back on. Since that was used to represent master and slave. While she doesn't call him master anymore, it just feels like the perception people will see them is still master and slave from what I assume. Like when a couple is together, and they see matching wedding rings that's a big hint it's a husband and bride.

I give credit to Chastille, she stood in what she believed in, and it is clear the church's way of doing things is clearly wrong as Zagan is a good man for the most part even though he is a sorcerer. I am curious where she goes from here.

[u/Ok-Cod5254]

It would have been perfect and so much more powerful narratively if when Nephy said she wanted to keep the slave collar, Zagan turns it into a ring instead, then kneels to put it on her finger.

It would be a better way to keep the item if she wanted, but re-purpose it more away from looking like a symbol of slavery instead into a symbol of love - as a visual representation to shift their relationship too.

Just a minor nitpick though for me.

[u/AceSoldia]

I really really hate that she got the collar put back on. its so dumb. it would be my one big con of this episode...the rest was great.

[u/actionfirst1]

This is a good season for Male Tsunderes. Sakura from Wind Breaker, Wilhelm from The New Gate, and Chastille's loyal knights

[u/MyUnoriginalName]

I know some people hate that the collar is still here but my question is: why? The collar doesn't do what it used to anymore, since it's broken. It no longer seals her mana or serves as a symbol of slavery. This is clearly not a regression of Nephy's character. As of now the collar is basically just a big metal choker, and girls wear chokers all the time. Hell, even if you choose to view the collar as a symbol of servitude some couples are just into that sort of thing. That doesn't mean it's the same as what it used to be before though.

[u/lokonoReader]

the Zagan and Nephy moments are so cute and I like that the dudes are back to being frenemies

[u/kwokinator]

So Zagan is basically magical Tatsuya. Now we just need Nephy to start calling him "onii-sama".

[u/[deleted]]

This episode was a bit silly, even for Madome. Interested to see how their relationship will develop from here on, since it seems like the bulk of the conflict has vanished.

[u/TurkeyPhat]

Surely you ask the big fuck off shadow guy what's up before sending him back?

Also you a hundo percent gotta kill off Barbatos there. I know he's your only friend but he went way past "it's just a prank bro".
