Oh my, seeing all these demon lords together gave me some slight chills.

Juulia had to really take on the leader role for her party. Definitely felt like a RPG video game this episode. Gotta give credit to Juulia for showing no fear though.

So it seems setting things up was effective in a way and the princess learned a few things about the party and the hero.
But i guess she will be a bit wiser from now on when doing things like this.

Maou-chan being bribed was funny.

Finally the princess notices how she's been viewing Yusha all this time as well. Only took a fake battle with a fake demon lord played by the real demon lord to fix this. :D

So Rona decided to stop calling Julia Yuusha because she didn't want to call her Hero anymore, and ended up calling her Yuusha anyway because it's her nickname...? -O-

Anyway, this episode was as cute as previous ones~. And Mao-chan was super hilarious >.<

For maybe three-quarters of the episode I legit thought Rona was going to awaken as this generation's Demon Lord now that Mao-chan had resigned, just so that Yusha would have something to fight against. Like, she'd be chilling in her throne room fangirilng over how cool Yulia looked coming to stop her, setting extreme-difficulty traps so that the party could overcome them, and generally being the most hellish Demon Lord possible so that Yulia could be the greatest hero.

The show didn't go there, but I was super ready for Endro to become the first couple seasons of The Flash.

I can't believe how rotten the government is with that bribery, Rona even brought her royal guard.

I was thinking the same, specially with the very first trap that everything was going to be super real, that Rona would get corrupted from her own obsession with heroes, what a better Demon Lord than one who knows everything about their enemy and wants her hero to become the very best. Just like

I really like the friendship this girls have and Rona is so happy to be friend with her dear hero.
How shocking it was to see how the glutton of Fai shared her beloved meal with Rona.
It gave me a lot of laughter as they bribed poor Mao Sensei to help Rona with her plan so that Yulia and her friends act like heroes.
I still laugh at how Rona had everything prepared, although the castle of the demon king was not a great challenge, even had a hot spring to recover energy.
The fight with the 4 generals I liked a lot, because the girls fought with all their strength and we also saw Seira using the bow and her adorable glasses, in the end the fake generals give up the fight when they see that Yulia and her teammates care a lot about the princess.
The fight with Mao "disguised" as a demon king I liked a lot, because in the end Rona is sincere and this makes their friendship more beautiful, besides Rona begins to call her Yulia and sounds very cute when the princess says it.
In short, a beautiful episode where the girls tried to have the courage to rescue their dear friend and their friendship became stronger.

A heartwarming episode. The princess realize that Yulia cares about her for who she is, and is not after her money. Mao don't want to hurt Yusha and friends, so she just summon those friendly looking blob monsters. And the short flashback with the princess 4 bodyguards, they all want the princess to be happy.

I like that the power level is somehow consistent.. it took the entire party to defeat the red spider boss at the cat search episode, they cannot defeat the evil god - it was Chibi who defeat it-, and Yusha party cannot defeat the princess 4 bodyguards 1 vs 1. They all need to level up first. :D

Now... with 4 episodes remaining what things left to do. Maybe there would be a real villain at the last episodes?

This anime has entertained me enough. Ordered the OP cd at CDJapan. :)

The princess built an evil overlord castle, juuust in case? Are we sure she's not really the overlord in the making? hahaha!
The "costumes" for the four generals were hilarious, Rona apparently doesn't understand silhouettes.

I think she is really reformed. I'm just hoping that there is no greater evil somewhere in their world that can make Mao do bad things again.

I also laughed at the 4 general costumes, Rona copied exactly how they are colored in the book.
Well, let's just consider them the dark versions.. stronger than the originals. xD

Another real life problem explicitly mentioned again. This episode... Bribery.

Seeing comments up there, I think there is a chance that Rona will do twist on the ending. Mao-chan really change now, she's very kind and tried to stop what Rona do, very cute demon :3

No, Julia Charldetto's nickname is Yusha, with a short 'u'; "hero" is "yuusha" with a long 'u'. The narrowness of the difference might have influenced her decision to call her Julia until told otherwise, though.

I'm not sure she was ever truly in need of reforming: her flashback episode suggested she was only ever out to fulfill the role out of obligation; take two was probably personal, but my impression is that this is simply who she's always truly been.

@Polycell:- That's what I thought at first too, but I saw on Wiki that her name's written in Katakana ユーシャ (Yuusha) and ユーリア (Yuuria) with a dash, ahaha. And yeah, the decision thing could be the case too~.

Mao-chan is once again the best girl in the series, and Rona got some real character development. We made good progress here... Mao is great.

Hmm... I can definitely hear a subtle difference going back over the episode, but writing it in katakana is as far as it made it in writing, I guess.

I love how every development in this series is about straying the characters more and more from their destined path as RPG tropes.

Rona-hime basically tested the Yuushas and she has proven that they'll do beyond their limits to save anyone from Demon Lord Mao sensei! lolz

I'm honestly surprised extras, of all thing, got their own flashback.

And wait, that Castle/Lair/Whatever Rona made built, is that the one that Mao actualy used in the first episodes, since time travel shenanigans? (Saving on budgets for both the characters and set designers lolololol)

Also, Rona, stop bribing Mao >_<

After all, even if it is not an anime of some kind, with its too simple narrative, in this episode it has succeeded in conveying a nice basic message: the important thing in the end is not the form but the content. The character of Mao is always excellent, her presence is vital in the narration because there is the success of it.

Decent episode but it wasn't that entertaining to me since Rona is my least favorite character. That said, the flashback scene with her royal guard talking about her was something really heartwarming to see.

Evil Mao is completely gone. She cares so much now and has no ambition of fulfilling her role of demon lord.

That flashback moment was cute when the royal guard was talking about Rona.

The last minutes made this feel like a final episode.
