Well, that escalated quickly. Blade got into a pretty rough fight with Mao, a demon with strange abilities.

I'd say it was definitely one of his toughest fights in the show so far. Didn't surprise me much that she'd come to that school after that fight. I wasn't expecting a night "date" between them though. Got to see more of Mao's background story this episode and tbh, I find her character more interesting than any of the other cast so far.

Seems like other people other than Ernest were effected from the Ku fight eh? And Maria is suffering because of it.

The confrontation between Ku and the school students had extensive consequences beyond just affecting Ernest. Among those affected was Maria, who participated in the battle as a member of the magic unit. She approached Blade with an unusual request: "Put an end to her life." Little did many know, Maria had a mixed demonic lineage and struggled to control the inner demonic entity within her. Unfazed, Blade embarked on a daring endeavor to draw out this creature. However, when Maria unleashed her suppressed power, what emerged was a dangerous being shrouded in an aura reminiscent of a blade. This manifested as Maria's alter personality, Mao.

Maria has the main spotlight this episode it seems, glad to see that they're focusing on more characters than just our main trio of Ernest, Ku, and Blade. Maria's alternate personality is dressed well very demon-esque I guess. I'm guessing she fashioned herself to escape from reality, a reality in which she was scorned by those in her vicinity due to her inheritance of the Demon King's lineage. 

Now that we've explored Maria's alternate version, it of course brings up the fact that somewhere out there, the Demon King resides.

Blade gets introduced to Maria, and she's a clusmy one, though in need of him to kill her...?

In truth, Maria's a demon girl who can't quite control her powers, and everyone chimes in to help a fellow classmate. Maria feeling the restraint against everyone encouraging her to do so, Blade's plan must work, and with the release of all of her equipment, she is reborn as the Demon King's daughter. Feeling the sense of danger, not even Sophie and Cu can stop her, and it's all left to Blade, which he can only use up to the 30% limit of his powers. Earnest entrsuting Asmodeus to Blade, and at the very least, he managed to subdue her.

Maria, awakened in her devil self, brought into the school by Gilgamesh, is nicknamed Mao, and she finds trouble with Blade being attached to him, both in spirit and heart. With Maria's consciousness still deep within her, her friend of Eliza finds that her pendant is not a sealing item, but rather a recording device that could bring back Maria. The Demon King's family facing a crisis, and despite his death, he'll continue to love her unconditionally, though that brings her body back.

A rather compelling story for Maria / Mao.

A romance between a demon and the hero, that would be something new..

Maria wanted to get help but then everything got out of control and Maria became a demon. Everyone had a hard time fighting her. But even demons have a heart...

that was really touching. Not a whole lot yet in the sense of an overarching story, but a lot of character development.

Pretty good episode with Maria being introduced as having a Demon King inside of her. Blade almost died in their fight and towards the end the message that Maria/Mao's father left them seemed to have helped Maria out.

I enjoyed the comedic/silly bits and the fanservice, and now it seems Maria coexists with her demon side. Side note, the female doctor is kind of hot, I mean kind and caring.

the girl who saw the demon king and then immediately said he's hot is so real tbh.

glad maria decided to coexist with mao, because ngl i think i like mao more than her. i just don't really like super shy, nervous, overly apologetic, and awkward characters like maria that much.

Hottest 5 year old ever. Best episode so far.

😩 I’m glad they didn’t get rid of Mao completely and she can switch with Maria at will. That’s going to be a really fun dynamic. Honestly seems like the whole thing went by a little too fast to get as emotional as they wanted to at the end of the episode, but I still enjoyed it.

I like that Blade has kind of a nerf where he can’t use his full power. That will pave the way for his friends to be useful in the story. When you have a super OP MC in these types of settings (Strongest Demon Lord typical nobody anime) the show gets boring after awhile.

Lot of good fanservice today as well. Solid story, solid episode.

Honestly I don’t care if it’s “different for magical beasts” or whatever the justification in world is, I thought it was weird as fuck that they had to stress multiple times that Mao is 5 years old when talking about mating 🤮

If you're going to raise the existential question of personality personhood, at least have the balls to resolve it meaningfully. It's cute that some ambiguity is being shown Blade's way. Maria's arc is kinda his fault for having killed her dad and all. Sure hope this wasn't a case where all the other characters were interesting and cognizant of the scenario but good ole Oblivious Righteous MC ended things.

Also, very gross to not allow Maria/Maou to view the contents of the pendulum in private. The character consented but I don't like the concept; I'm criticizing the author.

Also also, fun to define Mao's power level. She gets one shot by 30% but finds 15% unworthy of fighting.

I’m fully convinced this anime would have been at least three times better if the only characters were Blade, Maria/Mao, the king, the nurse and Ayanami Rei (mostly because she’s such a blatant parody that it’s actually funny).

All the rest of the characters are just such useless NPCs, frankly. They just waste time and make the entire thing seems generic with the whole power of friendship shit.

This episode was probably the single actually good one so far. It wasn’t even that good lol, but it was still easily the best.

Just delete the rest of the cast. Especially Cu. Fuck Cu. All my homies hate this annoying little shit.

And now suddenly we have a Demon Lord. Who is gone. Wait no, she's back, nice. Man, the plots in this series move pretty fast.

The fight left us with some nice shots of the girls.... It seems like it's become a habit to see Earnest naked xD. And that shot of Maou's big ass, damn.

I thought the nurse was just a nurse but she seems to know Blade well huh.

De-mao is such a weird translation lol. Anyway, it's going to be fun to have Maria and Maou coexisting in the same body.

Why the heck did Earnest want Blade to lose? What the f did the guy do to deserve that. If anything she should be eternally grateful for all he’s done. Blade should just ditch these kids and get hitched with the nurse already

I really love this anime, unlike ecchi anime from previous season ( megami no cafe terrace), ( Yuusha ga shinda), this anime are doing justice in viewing girls completely naked with focusing on the butt without any dammen censorship.
I don't really care about the nipples as long as they show some good tasty naked butt 😌

So let me get this straight Mao is a magically and psychologically created split personality of Maria right? Her alter is more appealing to me, Maria seems so far lacking personality though she hasnt been shown much so could be wrong.

EP 5

Well the anime wasnt that popular to begin with so I guess its not surprising.


So yeah uhm. cant say im an expert, but a strange episode. after some dorama, it seems both of them are sharing the body now. they even had to skip the ed, and the OP too, just to cram everything in.
Maria barely had any screentime at all this ep.
No idea whats gonna happen next, there's still one more character in the op who hasnt shown up yet I think.
