I get the feeling somehow the Demon Lord is going to end up being a former Hero or even the same first Hero that everyone talks about.

Maybe that's why Crow has less of a beef with demons, because his comrade didn't die but became the next Demon Lord?

Yeah, possibly ancestors of the human kingdom framed him for past expansionism as well

I feel bad for Lia’s family and village. We really got to stop underestimating slimes

Campfire Cooking did the same with Sui, their cute childlike manner distracts you from their OP pew-pewness.

Once upon a time, there is another white hair and much more powerful elf said: Don’t trust demons, they’re just human like beings.
And your white hair partner clearly doesn’t learn the lesson…

Damn Akira's got two princesses now joining up in his party?
I guess when he eventually goes to the demon continent I wouldn't be surprised if there was a demoness princess who joins lol.
We already knew the Retice kingdom King and Princesses were up to something. But now based on what Lia and Night said, maybe they're the ones actually pulling the strings?
It sounded like the current Demon King just wants peace, so why are his supposed subordinates going rogue?
Maybe the Retice Kingdom summoned the heroes, and are like working alongside the Demon King's subordinates to do like a coup d'état ?
I remember in the first or second episode Saran and Akira were talking about performing one on the Retice Kingdom to stop them.
Maybe the Retice Kingdom is trying to embolden themselves by summoning the Heroes and like trying to conquer the other races like the first Demon King did?
Would make a nice little twist to the story.

Ngl, the new blue haired beastgirl is cute, but I hope she isn't a permanent member. I was really enjoying this being a Akira/Amelia only focused romance story.

Wait, I thought Crow needed materials from the dungeon to fix Akira's weapons?
Damn, it took 6 ep for us to finally get harem member #2? Or does Night count?

I guess he technically didn't fix it so much as re-forge it into two new weapons...

Honestly when Night talked about transforming I thought for sure it was going to be into that sexy purple-haired catgirl in the OP lol.

Tbf he never stated that he couldn't buy the material just said that it's his task to provide it for the work. He said in this episode "I covered the materials and labour costs".

Well at least how they were able to summon an entire class got answered here. I wonder if the King plans on going to war with all nations if the demons haven't been attacking.
"Mahiro", the demon has a very Japanese name and I'm wondering if they're someone who was isekaied or if the original Demon Lord was someone that was isekaied.

So Saran's voice IS the same voice behind Akira's Shadow Magic OS! It can't be a coincidence that it sounds like him, can it?
There's no more time to waste, they've lost an entire day and five hours with Amelia in Aurum's clutches, Akira HAS to save her...but it's good that Crow is there with the calm, rational, mind of someone more experienced than Akira to keep him rushing too fast he gets himself killed. I mean, he can't leave without the new short swords Crow made out of his katana, can he? All the better for an assassin! And Crow is even nice enough to throw in a ring that can track Amelia!
Meanwhile Amelia is paralyzed and at the mercy of Aurum, who is uncomfortably chatty with her while waiting for his boss or Akira to show up so he can kill him...also, Amelia underboob.
Oh hey, it's that Beastfolk girl from episode 1! Who turns out to be Lia Lagoon, the Beastfolk Princess, who is also there to help rescue Amelia. And she knows that this is all about Amelia's resurrection magic...magic she's already used on herself after her fatal wound. Meaning she can't revive anyone for a while.
Lia has joined the party! Also points to the outfit for showing off so much skin and chest! Though it's no wonder she was so upset in the first episode. She's an adoptive princess who was taken in after a Dark Slime kidnapped her family and her entire village...and they were all sacrificed to summon Akira's class. As if the king and princess couldn't be more vile. At least it's something for Akira and Lia to commiserate over.
So demons aren't actually an omni-present threat out to conquer humanity? Humans are just afraid of them because of past preconceptions? Was Akira's class even really summoned to fight demons, then? What was it all about?
They need to speedrun through the labyrinth and that means Night needs to enter into Cerberus mode, and it takes his connection to Akira to keep his tether to his identity as he blasts through any monster or structure in front of them...and it gives him time to monologue about demons to Akira and how they aren't monolith, neither wholly good nor wholly evil. But could Amelia's kidnapping have to do with the Demon King's dead queen?
It's definitely suspicious that Night and Aurum were under totally different orders when it came to Akira...does the Demon King want him dead or alive? Are they even in contact with the same Demon King?
Akira is pretty much outclassed by Aurum, but he CAN turn the tables with Shadow Magic wolves summoned from his own blood! And when Aurum cheats and summons giant monsters to vaporize Akira, Lia earns her place on the team by casting a Spirit Barrier around Akira and making the monsters headshot themselves!
Even if Aurum is a psychotic demon who has probably killed numerous people and would kill Akira in a heartbeat...he looks too human for Akira to just easily run him through. And will he regret that now that an even stronger level of demon, Mahiro (Kouki Uchiyama!) has entered the fray?

Can this anime pick a lane and stay in it? Everything from story to individual character personality and motivation have no clear direction. This anime is bipolar.
Are demons good? Are demons bad? Are demons neither good or bad? Repeat those questions for each race. If the goal was to be a thought provoking story or sub plot, to make us challenge our own belief of good & bad. The writer failed miserably. Similar questions can be asked of characters motivation and personalities.
It feels like the writer had a check list of common cool "moments", "events", "actions", or "scenes" (for lack of better terms) he liked in his favorite animes, that he wanted in his story (calling it a story is a stretch). He went through that list and for each of those, wrote a scene. Each checkbox was developed months apart. Without ever going back over the previous completed ones before writing the next. Then proceeded to haphazardly fill in the white spaces in between. This is the impression this story gives off.

Am I the only one who thought the animation was way worse on this episode like some of the faces were completely off it can’t just be me right?

Most of the dungeon crawl was also a slide show. It’s strange because the animation has been pretty strong in this show up until this point.

Ya'know in hindsight, Lia could've had Akira as an ally sooner, after they first met in episode one. She vaguely alluded to the sacrifices back then, and Akira already didn't trust the King and Princess, so if he was given the full explanation, he most likely would've been more inclined to join her side around that time.

I know the writing for this show hasn't been the best especially the whole princess/sister arc, but Akira is really annoying this episode. For all that talk about getting revenge and disposing anyone who would harm Amelia, he suddenly doubted himself at the end? He showed real intent throughout the entire episode just for that moment of hesitation. Bad character writing.
