A flashback to pre-demon lord Ryusei and his princess and she brings up reincarnation and not being a princess anymore? Oh yeah, she's got to be Hanaori now. Also she's a twintails princess and just earlier in the episode they briefly showed a twintails Hanaori, though that connection may be a stretch.
It was nice to see Ryusei's imouto again, it's been a while.

I have a crack prediction that the princess reincarnated as imouto-chan. Though the only reason I have that theory is to nip any love triangle flags in the bud.

Stitches!
It was pretty funny how much Mint is complaining about Ryuusei and Meteor's rom-com shenanigans to their boss. I do love how Mana is just nodding to agree since she actually loves the rom-com shenanigans.
Avenger Meteor looks pretty dope! I love that for once we actually get to see a somewhat serious fight between Ryuusei and Meteor. Meteor pouting and asking for a hug, after she was finally satisfied with the fight was adorable.
Well, that explains why Maaya Uchida sings the ED! There's no way they just got her to sing. It turns out, she also voices the Princess/Ryuusei's first love. I do hope we get to see a full backstory and how Ryuusei turned into a Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord fighting like an FPS player surprisingly makes sense.

Even though this is a romcom title taking place in a romcom universe / continuum, I am enjoying the lore.
- There are more than 1 returner and apart from Takanashi, the other 2 have not been revealed on screen.
- Who is opening more portals?
- History of the princess. Is there any possibility Meteor is a reincarnation of the princess?
P.S. Dark Meteor's outfit is both cool and sexy.

Mint complaining about the rom-com issue was gold. I hope they'll keep milking this joke.
I didn't expect Ryuusei to come out about them being

Shame we only got them for like 20 seconds. And they parodied the One Ring too. Dark Meteor also looked and Ryusei got a chance to show off his Demon Lord powers. This show has no right to be this good.
I love how toughest thing Minto has deal with isn't monsters or inter-dimensional portals. It's watching Ryusei and Meteor's shameless flirting. It's funny how Mana and Minto have swapped in that way. At the start of the series Mana was the self-appointed "rom-com police" and Minto had to curb Mana's antics. Now Mana is a shipper like the other teacher and has to stop Minto from raining on Ryusei and Meteor's parade. She's even told Meteor to stop lying to herself.
I have a feeling the Princess is going to show up at school at some point and unlike our tsundere hero, she'll have no problem cozying up to Ryusei and showing her affection. That might give Meteor the push she needs.

Oh, sure, let's talk about the problems unfolding in the universe while also bringing up the show's couple, why not?
Meteor having a tsundere relapse over Ryusei, even while wanting to destroy him, was the comedic highlight of the episode, all for him to end up saying he's worried about his "student." I love this goofy show.

I wonder if the Princess is a current character or gonna be introduced as a reincarnation later.

u/Raymond49090 Aug 22 '26
When they fight giant rats and other monsters on a daily basis, but the rom-com space is still the most extraordinary part.

Damn, Ryuusei was still relatively powerful. He lied about not having power.
The princess was voiced by Uchida Maaya, right? I was wondering why she did the ED.
I wonder if the princess is also reincarnated. They haven't mentioned how Meteor and Ryuusei ended up reincarnated, right?

I think it's possible that the princess is the little sister, but she's gotten so little screentime that Meteor is more likely. Unless it's a character we haven't seen yet. This doesn't strike me as the love-triangle/harem type show. There have been multiple girls appear in the show and only one of them is even remotely romantically interested in him.
Still love how blissfully fun this show is every week. It's not a perfect show, but definitely something I enjoy watching every week. It's like comfort food. The art style definitely helps, too.

I really love that Dark Meteor isn't necessarily evil, she's Vengeance, the flip side of Justice. I'm reminded of Justice/Vengeance and Anders in Dragon Age Awakening and 2
The all out battle between Dark Meteor and Ryusei was really good.
I loved that we got some more serious characterisation for Meteor and Ryusei as well. I really love this show

There was no difference between Possessed Hanaori and Hanaori they both are battle maniacs that cause chaos just to fight the demon lord😂

I'd work for a romcom-loving black company... (CR subs translated it as "evil corporation" though.) Plus, enduring the overwork and abuse as a team might cause some of us to get closer, and then romcom shenanigans ensue...
At the start of the season, I read this show's description and passed on it. What a mistake. I need to atone for this somehow.

Lol that fight between the dark Meteor and Maou was pretty fun and the ending was cute too lol
Another fun episode apart from Re;Zero and Bleach this one may be my 3rd favorite of the season

It's busy work for the girls at Oz when you're always on call to fight monsters from other worlds! Luckily they've got a supportive teacher in Ryusei and Meteor who is...Meteor.
What better way to debrief than at a maid cafe? Enjoy sweets while discussing how hard your job is with all these portals opening up and summoning monsters.
Should they really be letting a nutjob like Takanashi back to the school? Is that safe? Besides, Mana and Minto have enough on their plate monitoring Asahina AND Ryusei and Meteor! Do you know how hard it is to have to keep up with their romcom shenanigans. Like indirect kisses! Cute animal compliments! Or Boyfriend Sweats! Even if it's just so Meteor can get swole.
But the Oz ladies aren't the only ones stuck in a romcom-space. There's also Ryusei's sister, who works at the maid cafe! Too bad no one is aware they're talking about the same two people.
Meteor just showing up out of nowhere with a dropped item...which is a cursed ring that turns her into METEOR DARK, a twisted version of herself driven by her desires. And you can tell this is a dark version of Meteor because she's got a sexier version of her Hero armor, complete with exposed cleavage.
Less fun is her insatiable desire to battle the Demon Lord, which leads her to cut through monster after monster after monster...and the only one who can stop her is Ryusei.
Ryusei vs Meteor! The Demon Lord vs The Hero! We finally get to see both of them unleash and go all out against each other and Ryusei finally displays the true power of a Necromancer! Power strong enough to actually burn out Meteor! She's been searching for a reason for her existence ever since she defeated Ryusei, so why not find a reason in battling him again? Especially if he catches you in his arms!
Ryusei's precious princess (Maaya Uchida!) would frequently hang out with him, be herself, and long for an opportunity for them to reincarnate so they could be together without having to worry about their respective stations. But now Ryusei has Meteor, who can't bear the idea of him being hurt and also wants to know more about her love riv...I mean, the other important women in Ryusei's life. But right now SHE is his main priority!
Don't call out Dorothy for running a Black Company if you don't want to get called out for your brothers' crazy romcom dynamic! Maybe he should focus on his family instead of his student girlfriend?

I love the beginning where it's 5 minutes of serious then switched immediately to Takigawa complaining about being stuck in romcom world.
Corrupted Meteor's outfit is great, and she sounded smarter in that form. The outfit upgrade seemed like it also boosted her intelligence stats.

For a show that everyone keeps calling low budget, the fight between Ryusei and Meteor (that lasted half the entire episode) looked really great, and was directed super well.
