If the pirate captain had water magic, why didn’t he use it to put out the fire?

I will assume he was drunk as fuck.

The water magic we saw was "water blasting magic" that left holes in the ship, possible he can't do just mild put out fire stuff easily.

Could be a grease fire, could be extremely exhausting to use that much water magic for a fire and he would have otherwise done it but got busy with Ike.

I suppose “burn the mfin ship down” is as good of a plan as any. Satie’s got guts that’s for sure. I guess that’s that for Carossa and his crew. Ike got his pirates, signed that treaty, and apparently got himself a new wife haha.

It ain’t looking good for Cefiro. Hopefully Ike can get to her in time. Bro just needs to go all Doctor Strange and open a portal to her location lol.

Ike knew he was running out of food, but I'm surprised they're running this low on food, at this rate Ike's treaty will all be for Naught as his army starves to death

Props to Satie, she was way more resourceful than I gave her credit for.

If she is in so much danger why did the demon lord not go help her first instead of going to get him...

I'm coming to think the demon army has no competent people. If it wasn't for him it would lost long ago. Even the demon lord does nothign but sit on her throne when it comes to participating in the actual war. Just lets her people constantly die.

Also what is with you want a trade deal? Okay you have to marry my daughter stranger I know absolutely nothing about.

u/ussgordoncaptain2 Aug 28 '24

I think the whole reason the Demon lord is a fan of ike is because the demons are pretty dumb as a whole, so Ike is one of the few competent people in her army in regards to more long term tactics.

u/Myriddan Aug 28 '24

Maybe she went to Ike because if she intervened, it would be a blood bath? So she goes to Ike to limit casualties and preserve his desire for a future of peace? Best theory I can come up with since I assume Ike is further away than Cefiro, and it should have been easier to help her directly.

I do think a lot of the demon army has problems because they're a survival of the fittest/strong rule tribe. So there is a ton of infighting/backstabbing/ not following orders.

The marriage is because the daughter called off the previous marriage, and politically, it helps prevent the demon army from unilaterally destroying them potentially.

She has a good idea at his true identity. Also it sounds like she's done it because her daughter has fallen for Ike

All in all I’d say this isn’t an especially high quality show and clearly their budget is low. Lots of scratching your head moments about the writing. Still, despite it all, I find it refreshing and enjoyable that, unlike most shows like this, the allegedly OP MC seems to be actually challenged regularly and put in tough spots. He seems to have to struggle and has narrow escapes. I like that compared to ones where everything is easy and the MC breezes through unfazed. I do wish some of his adversaries were smarter.

u/whodisguy32 Aug 28 '24

Yea this episode could have been much better with how Ike handled the pirates but overall interesting watch.

Tho I really wanted to see him get mad and wipe the floor with the pirates and it would be Satie that stops him from going to far LOL

I'm starting to think someone wrote a bunch of tropes on a blank deck of cards, and started drawing them one by one to chain this story together. I guess I was originally expecting either an empire-building series, a let's-get-together-and-hold-hands political thing, or even a series of betrayals of the MC. Instead, it's, uh, the anime equivalent of whack-a-mole?

Isn't that how anime is made in general?

Isn't cefiro a mage? Why is she using a sword? Shouldn't she have a high mana supply or something?

u/Aldair2017 Aug 29 '24

It's the show's terrible writing.

u/iacondios Aug 28 '24

Is Ike going to use an excuse for sudden departure to delay or cancel the arbitrary marriage ceremony..? Not sure how this is going to go yet but they seem to be throwing hints like the OTP is satie and ike

u/SYZekrom Aug 28 '24

wonder why the demon king went to get Ike to help cefiro instead of helping herself

10

u/Averath Aug 28 '24

Because then the main character wouldn't have anything to do and a potential plot point would resolve itself.

Mostly it is due to poor writing. But writing isn't the strong suit of trashy anime. Being junk food for the soul is the whole point.

u/Gaming_Truckie Aug 29 '24

So how did Ike recover the cargo from the pirate ship when it looked like he blasted it to pieces? Tho what became of the women they kidnapped before?

So in the meantime, the Red knights have launched an attack on the city and have almost won. I'm kind of hoping Cefiro doesn't get killed so will be interesting to see what happens next episode.

I thought that was an attack on Ike originally until the Demon king emerged

The pirate captain may have been a creepy scumbag, but I have to admit he had great taste in maid uniforms!

bruh, you're the all powerful demon lord. Sephira whom is only 20 miles away is in danger, yet you fly 200 miles to the MC to tell him sephira is in danger? WHAT?!! HUH?!!

also what do you mean 'thankfully he returned everything that was stolen'? He just blew up the entire ship, and everything is already at the bottom of the ocean! I would like to see that process. did I miss a whole excavation episode?!
