About time. It took this long but we got the beach episode LOL

This wasn't all and games as we had competition on the beach, monster fighting, etc. Some of Youki's scenes were comedy gold but it looks like everyone got some screen time. We also got the Demon King's confrontation with the white knight and Vanilla playing with Hime.

This episode fed us good with all sorts of content.

Youki might be the best tomboy this season.

Hime has arrived at the beach. Today's "torture" is a beach sword fight between the Youki and Inki. The condition for Hime to win is that they can make any wish come true. Even if that wish is for "parole" — Against them are Youki and Inki, champions of the Demon Lord's Beach Sword Fighting Tournament Tag Division for two consecutive years. Where will victory lie? Meanwhile, at the Demon Lord's castle, Louch, who came to rescue Hime, stands prepared as the Demon Lord suddenly appears behind him. The pinnacle of the kingdom's Holy White Knights and the entire demon race finally meet. Additionally, we see Vanilla employing new methods to "torture" Hime.

Hime's sword skills were surprisingly good, considering what we've seen before. Tortura is really evil with her devil and political tricks. I didn't expect her to win. It's nice to see everyone together, even the guy she hurt is back. Louch making a friend is nice. Anime always brings enemies together and creates new friendships. The war between humans and demons might just be because of differences in culture now. I'm curious about Hime's past; they keep dropping hints. Vanilla is lonely; maybe her parents should give her a sibling. Not with Hime though! There's a post-credit scene, just food, and of course Tortura eating it.

Awww. Maou kept the anime's charm.

OOH look, the torture session, finally in a beach episode!

The first torture: beach sword fishing with Youki and Inki to pop the balloon on their heads, though against the fated Hime who is trained in swordmanship by Jimochi (or in rather unkempt ways), this is nothing for her. And the rest of the reinforcements called on by Tortura in order not to fulfill the wish of setting her free, it just turns into a party lols. Hime treating the prison like her home, it's natural given this point.

For the 3rd time, Louch is back, but he gets interrupted by the Hell-Lord who thinks that he got lost. And Louch spares no favour in trying to defeat him, though Hell-Lord is rather empathetic to his plight. Both are otakus deep in heart, though Louch is a hidden one.

Vanilla wanting to play cards with someone, and tortures Hime to her game, though she has experienced this with Jimochi as well. Her desperation is so obviously read on her face needing friends, and Hime was once the same way as well. Both playing cards and Vanilla making a friend, it's a win-win solution, just like the Hell-Lord himself.

Tortura's off-day for a roasted beef gyudon, it's sweet bliss.

The friendship game is really strong this episode.

Tortura's inner selves are amazing XD
6:19 There are so many funny frames here that you won't notice unless you watch frame by frame. The production of 'tis anime keeps surprising me.

9:56 This shot actually looks so cool

Why did they make the whole scene with the knight looks so good, holy damn.
There is a scene after credits!
21:34 魔佐谷パールセンター (Masagaya Pearl Center) is a parody of a real Asagaya Pearl Center Shopping Street (阿佐谷パールセンター 商店街) in Tokyo.

Wholesome episode :)

What a perfect wholesome anime.

Just loving all the characters.

Especially demon king is a great father and anime fan ♡

Hime is having fun with everyone. Torture's plan to stop her was also so great and fun.
I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

My mind went blank when Tortura said she needed tissues before going to bed.

Do they actually call cards "Trump?"
Interesting.

For such a gimmicky series, they really do emotional moments well. Like the Hime and Vanilla “I just wanted friends” conversation was so cute. Vanilla is such a massive tsundere, but just like Hime, she just wants to connect with other people. When you see the flashbacks to Hime’s time as a knight, she just looks so empty and aimless. Like yea she’s good at her job, but clearly unhappy. She finally has a family now.

Speaking of knights, the Brittan clan knight who showed up to rescue hime had me dying. The demon king is just there trying to have a normal conversation with him and buddy is putting all these attacks on him that are doing ZERO damage lmao.

Plus the demon king being a massive otaku is so funny. Who would’ve thought the power of anime would bring two people together like that 😂

Goes without saying that the beach scene at the start of the ep was great. Lovely bit of fanservice

Jimochi is the best, I’m always a fan of seeing him interact with the Princess when she was little, it’s absolutely hilarious 😆

I love that she’s so used to life there now that she checks into her prison like a hotel room and casually chains herself back up.
And the Hell-Lord trying to help the knight like he’s a lost little kid
“Why did you save me? I’m a human.”
“Your life has value, just like mine. You also have good taste in anime.” 😂 I’m going to be sad when this ends, this show is so wholesome.

Yes “Trump” as in “Trump card” is how you’d call card games in Japanese

I still can't decide if Jimochi was a good or bad influence on Hime and it is easy to forget how hard her life was until now, it was nice how we good to see Hime and Maou's cool sides, Hime being incredibly talented with the Sword and Maou just being a force of nature. It was a super fun beach episode and we even got to see Krall on a swimsuit, nice.

The beach episode is here to provide us with some fanservice, and give the princess a chance to show off her sword skills! Tortura is absolutely stunning! Afterwards, Ugly Bastard Knight and the Demon King bond over anime, and Vanilla finally accepts that even a high and mighty vampire can still make friends. Oh no, the "social propaganda" got her! XD

I think this is the first time I've ever seen oyakodon (the food) in anime. I'm used to it meaning something else.

It was time for the beach episode.

So many times Hime ended up ruining him by revealing some secret, that he had forgotten that she was a warrior, and it seems that Toture had too.

Louch returned, but this time the demon king stood in the way of sharing his love for anime. It's nice that they have become friends. And I am surprised by the action that was carried out; I didn't expect that from this anime.

It was sweet to see Hime agree to be friends with Vanilla. And seeing Torture again outside of work.

This anime follows Vinland Saga's ideology of having no enemies.

This episode was soul-healing. I just love how ridiculous the whole plot is, in the surface it'd seem to be "the evil demons vs the righteous humans in a medieval world", and it's actually just modern Japan and demons are the most normal people imaginable, even more so than humans.

It's all so good lmfao
Pretend there's something flashy and cool here.

Hell Yeah!!

Maou-sama and Louch bonding over the power of Anime.
Also Maou-sama commentary on Anime merch was a hard Facts!!

That Oyakodon looks so good.
Thank goodness I'm always watching this Anime while having my lunch.

yay beach episode, got to see all the girls in swimsuits
the fight with the sword was fun for sure, no way the kids would beat her lol
Tortura was scared of having to release Hime, but no way Hime would want to leave anyway

i thought seeing the knight guy would be another boring scene but was funny that Maou found him, knight had no chances of winning lmao
now they are somewhat friends, thanks to anime, but i wonder what will happen if knight learns who Maou really is

Vanilla always pretending she doesn't need friends but then cries and has fun with Hime, she is too cute lol

lastly, Tortura once again "torturing" herself with good food, good thing she doesn't need to reveal secrets to eat well haha
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons

Torture should have been the MC of this series.

Imagine following her, a former nurse that wanted to become useful for the demon army and wanted to be torturer, but her tortures are silly and wholesome.

This is just my opinion but I feel she's a far more interesting and charismatic character 🥰

I thought Hime won the "torture" in the first half of the episode but they didn't show what she requested. I guess Torture's way of avoiding freeing her (assuming Hime would've picked that) was to make it a free for all so that she would forget the deal.

The 2nd half was pretty wholesome with the topic being about making new friends.

Beach episode, Tortura in swimsuit, peak. That was really fun watching them having fun. That knight came back and met with Maou lol, he'd be surprised to know that. Though the power of anime is real, breaks all barriers.

Vanilla's back and she's just so precious, adorable. We got more of Tortura eating, I can watch her eat all day and not get bored, love her. Btw the two sitting behind her in the joint, were those Youki and Inki's mothers?
