Heh, maybe Echidna and her drinking habits. Leo himself is also getting more attention for his feats in recent episodes.

It's kind of weird how they spend a decent amount of the episode with a toasting party. Nothing really special but seems like it's this anime's way for a breather type of episode.

Leo's nightmare about both his past life and that Echidna is inching closely towards his real disguise, that's a double whammy if it truly happened.

And what ended up happening...is a scrumptious feast between both Echidna and Leo in his Black Knight Onyx form that thankfully with her drunk state isn't able to recognize him. And as is with earthly formalities, he uses every tip and trick of the trade to try to render Echidna drunk till she drops...and that's not quite enough for her as a drunken stupor heavyweight.

This "drinking party from hell" sure doesn't stop, and both Leo and Echidna traded blows especially when his topic comes up to talk trash. This Philosopher's Stone stuff ain't all that interesting, but when used for propaganda then it serves a purpose, other than it being a case use for the Demon Army to cleanse their lands and be rid of conflict a.k.a the reverse Realist Hero way.

It's rare to hear a demon acknowledge heroes like Leo whom have a duty to save humanity from demons, that's their calling if they were outright to be labelled as evil anyways to carry out their own calling as well. And boy was Leo about to reveal himself to Echidna when both Mernes and Edvard left just like that to train themselves up, a bummer lols.

A back-breather episode, but still really interesting nonetheless...of how this failed hero rebuilt a demon kingdom. Genuity in simplicity.

When I saw the start of this episode, I was like wondering if I was watching the wrong anime lol. Suddenly, Leo was like isekai-ed or something?? lol. That nightmare might have something to do with the later part of the plot, and I'm definitely intrigued now.

Also, I love the interaction between Echidna and Leo in this episode even though Echidna doesn't know who Leo is yet. This episode I'd say is a lot better than the previous episodes as there is actual progress.

  • Hero joining the demon lord army,
  • "My goal is to save the Demons who live in Netherworld, because its a hell. Survival rate is nil and demons fight and kill each other to live",
  • "To achieve an existable place for the demons, I united them and invaded human world, in an attempt to co-exist by finding the philosopher's stone",



Where have I heard these lines and scenarios before???

Hmmm.....


Oh yes.... This is the plot of "The devil is a part-timer!!" with gender reversal in the main cast.

This episode was a tutorial of how to get your boss drunk for a bigger position.

So the real reason for the demon queen to make war is actually a reasonable reason, to protect her subordinates.

I'm wondering if the Philosopher Stone's true power is it can move you to another world, for example, it moves our MC from the world in his dream to the current world.

Funny how echidna sounds more human than most humans. Very kind person in truth. Was nice to get a glimpse into her mind and motives this episode, hopefully she fully accepts Leo without any disguises soon, lol. One of the underrated waifus of the season for sure.

Nice episode. Good mix of comedy and seriousness. We learned very little about Leo's past life giving him some more character development together with thoughts about Echidna's motives. That gave her some good character development even though we haven't seen her in 3 episodes. Anime-style interruption and lines at the end.

Ya know.. I really think the anime would be more interesting if it was executed better..

The start of this episode had me checking if I was watching right anime xD..
Tho its making plot interesting..
A fairly bit comedic episode with some serious tone world building..

The anime is still 6.5/10 for me..
But good waifus.. and the MC isn't dumb dumb..

I mean I would also be like that but it wasn't the first time. There was a time before when a goblin shouted something at him at that world so I already knew there was something weird.

Bru whats up with those double birb-bat scene? Then, wait a minute, there's a helicopter? So its not your typical fantasy setting of world after all! Perhaps ... But look at all those looks. No wonder Leo left them, but ofc its too late from the later event, right? There, another working mode 101 tutorial. Ofc its ended fail to Leo xd. But wait, Leo can even changed his face? Damn, too op man. Well, at least i could hear Echidna motivation to invade, retriving those stone from the op to save her own world. I feel like this can be easily done when Leo can steling it away from the capital, since Leo still at least had an access to the stone, right, if i am remembering it correctly. He even already thinking about to tell her right the plan! However, something happened to the other general. Sounds like a mere sulk, since both are a just a teenager and one old man. Still dunno man, and their union reaction kinda me at this point xd....

i give you a clue :



hmmm that's kind of cool actually





anyway, I'm continuing to enjoy this, but it's definitely clear it could be handled better by a more competent studio. Dialogue scenes are framed in the most bog standard way, with less energy than they could have. Also, Leo seems upset and stressed, but the scene doesn't adequately communicate why he should be so uncomfortable. This show is honestly worth watching as a clinic in how a mediocre studio can fail to elevate its source material. I think to whatever extent it's succeeding it's because the source material must be solid, and the studio isn't quite bad enough to totally fumble everything. It is just so obviously on a low budget done by people who aren't especially passionate about the production.

Echidna Goated drinker lol.

Great episode. It was nice to see Echidna open up about her true goals. I like that it took a few episodes and was not an immediate scene.

I like how it was serious and then BAM back to pure comedy at the end. Waiting for the Day Leo opens up as well.

I still get confused whenever the Hero does his flashbacks (or nightmare, same either way)

Still can't keep up with how everything we're looking at is a fantasy world with castles, kings, villages and magic... then the flashbacks keeps on showing us modern world skyscrapers, vehicles and next to no magic, etc etc... LOL

___ ___ ___

And then we got the Hero showing us examples of how to be smooth at parties or escape parties, LOL

But met with unexpected resistance that Echidna's a heavy drinker.

Kinda funny how all the Hero did was change his hair and fooled Echidna, LOL

Also, we now know the Demon Queen's decision to invade... to get the stone, cause the Demon World is literally SHIT.

Tho... I wonder if they could just find another one... since the Hero literally said he also "used another one" before... meaning there's most likely multiple philosopher's stone lying around the Human World.

Which would mean if the Demon Queen and Hero both knew about each other and the reasons... there would be no need for any invasion or fighting... they just needed to work out a trade between each other.

___ ___ ___

Meanwhile... the other tops seems to be having some trouble...

2 of them apparently decide to go full EMO, where 1 runs away from home while the other one /wrist

and 1 of them seems to be constantly thinking about the hero... hmmm....

the other little furry is still just running around having fun, so innocent...

Man in Leo's past life he was also a black haired swordsman that was OP. Dang dude... is he like a constantly reincarnated hero or something.

We finally found the Queen's true intentions and as expected she's not really a bad guy.

Can't wait to see the next episode to deal with the runaway and the suicide happy guy.

.


reminds me of BokuHero's "One For All" where skills are passed down to next carrier.

In this case, maybe the hero got so strong is cause he was constantly reincarnated with all his past skills, and over time it racks up until he become OP.

Tho, I really doubt that's the case, I think the hero was just born with talent.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
