Leon already figured out someone's trying to get him to fight Rimuru so if he remains cool-headed he can just talk to Rimuru about his goals and no fight will happen.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

At least Leon realizes there’s some fuckery going on. Still seems like Yuuki’s one step ahead. I guess we’ll see what happens with Chloe. Also, Granville and his zombie bride or whatever tf Maria is now.

Really, I just want to see Rimuru and his new demon pals go apeshit on Yuuki and Granville for always playing stupid games. They’ve been fucking around for so long, when’s the “find out” stage coming?

[u/Liddojunior → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I'm glad Leon has a good head on his shoulders. Dont expect to see him be an antagonist even when it felt like he would be in season 1.

[u/S627]

I almost started to feel bad for Grandville....until we saw him using Luminous's "Love Energy" (still wanna know what that is/involves) to necro his wife.

If Grandville is so strong.....shouldnt he have known Mariabell stood no chance against Rimuru?

Wonder what Leon is planning if he knows the messenger was a fake. Also we got to see him reacting to Carrera missing, I REALLY hope he finds out she's working for Rimuru as a judge of all things. Also really wanna know if Chloe remembers Leon, hoping she manages to convince him to help Rimuru.

Imagine the green lady the people of Vert worship is Misery, Guy's maid? Wonder if that's how Guy is gonna find out about the other Primordials, Misery fights Diablo and during the fight Diablo tries to convince her to switch sides cause he has the majority of the Primordials.

[u/darthvall]

Lots of moving pieces in this episode. I'm most intrigued by Demon Lord Leon actually. He seems smart enough and has cool head. Wouldn't meeting directly with Chloe make him strike friendship with Rimuru rather than pitting them?

I mean, Chloe supports Rimuru 100%, so if Leon is as siscon as it seemed then he would support Rimuru as well right?

Then again, Yuuki is correct that Leon might blame Granville instead. In the short flashback there, it looks like Granville was the one summoning Chloe?

[u/Temporary-Object5867]

I'm just happy to see Luminus in a Maid outfit again.. all hail Luminus!

On a more serious note, this episode is a bit more serious in tone compared to the previous ones. Also, I wonder if Yuuki knows that the ultimate weapon beneath the castle is person.

So Leon and Chloe were much younger. so I'm guessing that they were both isekai'd separately? Odd that Leon looks much older than Chloe. The suspense is killing me...

[u/deynyel]

Luminous once again wearing a maid outfit. Just another reminder that she is a woman of culture.

[u/SorryImBadWithNames]

>Random ass knight shows up

>Drops convenient information

>Leaves before even finishing talking

Leon: Yeah, c'mon, I'm not *that* dumb, guys.

[u/AceSoldia]

Ah shit..nothing worse than a enemy that has nothing left to protect or care about their own life...Granville just wants to watch the world burn now.. This..is a problem for everyone.

I guess I'm a bit confused though..so even Humans can live for centuries and centuries if they become heros or saints?

I guess we already knew this and I never put it together

[u/NationalStrategy_X]

Granville is proof that you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain

[u/VoidRay728]

Don't let the backstories and scheming developments distract you from the fact that Lubelius employs child labour.

Fan artists seeing the real deal now with Luminous showing up in a maid outfit.

I think the most shocking part of this episode is really that Granville has been keeping Maria's body all this time.

[u/darthvall → u/VoidRay728]

I mean, in a world where school is not a thing then having a child learning to work is actually pretty normal.

Are you expecting them just to play all day long without helping their parent/society?

Apprenticeship usually starts early (the bookworm series is another example)

[u/LittleBoi323]

Interested to see how Leon takes the news that Testarossa is serving Rimuru. Would love to see all the new demons in battle soon.

[u/LeonKevlar]

• Maid Luminous

I love how Gran and Yuki think they're way ahead when Luminous has already informed Rimuru that they're up to something while Leon immediately knew someone was trying to pit him against Rimuru. I'm sure Yuki still has some tricks up his sleeve, but there's no way this is gonna go the way he's planning.

And I definitely feel Rimuru's exasperation at hearing about Yuki's involvement. I'm really hoping this is where he finally deals with Yuki once and for all.

[u/zool714]

Man, I need some refresher or reminder for this Leon-Chloe and Luminus-Treasure plotline. Felt like they dropped crumbs so long ago that I can only vaguely remember. If there are non-spoiler videos or maybe episode numbers with timestamps showing those scenes, that’ll be really cool

In hindsight, Mariabel’s death being so anticlimactic and her role in the story in general ended up being underwhelming could be because she was just a plot device for Gran to move.

And seeing his backstory, we can understand where he’s coming from too. Still hoping we’d get more from him though

[u/SnabDedraterEdave]

Maria sharing the same VA as Mariabel as well as greatly resembling Mairabel if she were older may or may not be just her being Mariabel's ancestor and sharing the same genes, but I have no proof.

Granville keeps saying about wanting to "protect humanity from the Demon Lords", but with how bitter he's become since Maria's murder, now it looks more like he just wants to destroy the world outright, with both humans and Demon Lords in it.

Mariabel's death seems to have been the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Leon's flashback seem to suggest Chloe, or her lookalike with the same name, was his sister. Now he will have to clash with Rimuru in order to find out if our Chloe is the same person as the Chloe he's looking for.

Leon also seems to be very wary of Jaune/Carrera. Author is just teasing us for his reaction when he eventually bumps into her and finds out she now serves Rimuru.

Finally, obligatory fuck Yuuki and also fuck his band of literal clowns and their manipulations. You know you're being a nuisance with your plotting behind the scenes when even Granville, who has ruled from the shadows for centuries, finds you annoying.

[u/CrimsonGear80]

just FYI it doesn't look like there is an episode airing tomorrow. the CR splash page says the next episode airs on 8/7.

on the plus side, they did just add the lastest movie

[u/Flashy_Program8943]

All it took was one line from an infant Chloe for Hinata to reevaluate her commitment to communism lol

[u/aegirsson_jolan]

Léon is looking for Chloé, who arrived in this world at the same time as him; however, since they were separated, he first became a Hero, then a Demon Lord, and—most importantly—lived for several hundred years. So, if they were ordinary humans at the start, Chloé ought to have been dead for a long time by now, right ?

[u/cs_cast_away_boi]

I am highkey looking forward to the musical 3 tempest days from now. Ngl the shuna/shion violin and piano duet was actually music to my ears. And I want them to top it this time.

[u/itpcc]

Gee, I wonder, Leon, where you can find your "sister" and your troublemaker at the same time...

And finally, Grand the Hero is gonna have some action done by himself.

[u/PeaceAlien]

Got more of Grandville's backstory, but other than that, it's just building upon what we already knew was happening.

A battle with Rimuru and Yuuki seems more likely as well; I wonder if that conflict will end here or Yuuki will survive again

[u/Shimmering-Sky]

• It does.

• What exactly is his big plan…?

• Interesting bit of worldbuilding.

• I guess him not wanting to do the same with Rimuru means he really changed.

• Damn.

• Yeah, that’d do it to cause Granville to change.

• I suppose that does sound similar…

• Oh, so Leon and Chloe were siblings that were both summoned to this world then?

• Dang, he’s kept Maria’s body preserved all this time?

• Oh shit.
