i don't think the current demon lord's actually defeated. basteo's celebrating way too quickly thinking he already won when in fact he hasn't won the war yet. oh well, guess we'll find out next week exactly what the fate of the current demon lord is.

I wish the demon lord walking in on Ike had more of an "oh shit" moment. It was like "yeah yeah I know you're human, just do good in my army"

which is fine, but dude was almost naked and the demon lord popped in lol. I would've shit a brick the size of Rhode island if I thought the LORD OF MY COUNTRY found out I was the enemy race...

oh well, decent episode overall. bumped from a 6 to a 7. the guns were a fun touch, I'm guessing blameo or whatever is going to get his ass handed to him next episode

I personally enjoy the story but the animation is terrible. Reminds me of Kingdom season 1.

Meh.

Watched episodes 2-4 back to back and the little hope I had from episode 1 to at least be as charming as Yuusha Yamemasu died so quickly.

Everything is so drawn out, from dialogues to "mansplain" the most obvious plots. With a decent storyboard and better writer that would have condensed all the yapping from the LN into proper dialogue for TV format, these 4 episodes could had easily been reduced to 3 or even 2.5.

There's the cheapness of almost every female being into the main character. I was kinda expecting this to happen sooner or later anyway like most LN do, but really not this cheap. The random scenes of Cefiro taking a bath or just frolicking in a pool is just dumb, and not even funny dumb.

This last episode was just utterly stupid even looking at it with the most anime beer goggles. The demonlord acknowledges there's a traitor among her ranks and she decides that 2 of her commanders should fight each other with puppets to prove their value as commanders? Why not let them use their actual magical skills and also command small groups of actual soldiers? These puppets aren't going to be of actual worth in a real battle. She also pops out of nowhere firearms in a world filled with magic and medieval tech and no one is going to question why?

Why would you let your shields get slaughtered instead of having them actually defend while the guns fire and reload? Episode 4 and the only impressive thing about Ike so far is how literally everyone finds out he's a human. The series keeps telling us how great he is while not showing us any reason to really believe that.

It was hinted the Demon Lord already knew Ike was human when saying she wanted to see under his mask, but having that moment be she walks in on him... kind of underwhelming and felt like a waste.

Dealing with traitors is important, but sort of feels like at this rate the Demon Army's going to wipe two of its own big armies in the process. I hope there'll at least be some consequence or interesting result of this infighting, but probably not.

basteo is dumb as fuck for not checking if the demon lord really is dead before self-proclaiming he's the new demon lord. anyone can figure that much out lol the demon lord calmly walking in on an almost naked ike with a straight ass face and guns while ike's all "????????" to her unexpected presence. and then there's cefiro being just cefiro lmao

Huh... so they actually have "Guns"...

Also... Swimsuits + Sunglasses + Floaters... this MC can become a master inventor of this world if he wasn't focused in being a Demon commander...

(tho the guns are fairly low level, this is like a old European single bullet rifle that requires one of those long-metal-rods to load bullets. Also Ike's using the old British formation)

(what's real interesting is... is this "Gun" pre-existing? or did Maou somehow read Ike's mind and created it?) (also... why old European Rifle... why not a more powerful Gun that isn't single load?)

.

And... Well...

it's kinda obvious that the Maou knows MC's a human...

I mean... MC sucks at hiding he's a human... really... dude's like "I've stay hidden for years" when in fact... bunch of ppls already figured out he's a human... only the low rank demons don't know, LOL.

Not to mention... this is a fairly generic "Pink haired Female Maou" that's used in a lot of other series.

And Maou is sorta fairly balanced, she gave both side OP weapons that they wanted. She didn't favor one over the other.

.

And yea... "Don't bring swords to a gun fight" (unless OFC, you can deflect bullets)

But also... why are these "traitors" keep on thinking they already won without checking... it's the same as the Goblin dude that think his arrow killed Ike... LUL

This might have been the worst "duel" I have ever seen. The whole reasoning behind why it is taking place, that you are testing the command skills of the two dueling commanders, is stupid. Also the concept is not even followed through upon. It would have been genuinely interesting to see an even battle of wits. It showed that scene of Ike pouring over books of battle formations, and then in the duel they just go straight at each other. No need for commanding skills or tactics. Preparation is important in war... but bringing guns to a duel is not what that means! LMAO. There was no point for this "duel"
