| I kinda had the same question as Emi this episode too...about how long their quiet life can last. Not going to lie, this was a bit of a boring episode. While I like the overall chemistry, plot was moving slow and seems like it's attempting to dive into the final episodes without too much development. About time Emi remembered that woman from in the early episodes of this season. |

| Emilia's mother Lailah is on her way...and Maou wants is having an argument with Ashiya...to buy a TV??? Sure, the concept of TV is important to the Devil, but there's a lot of hidden fees, and it would be yet another massive spending if the limited budget is overspent. A good thing for Maou is that he anticipated this, and his rewards card is impertinent to that purchase in points. To Suzuno though, even if the events in Choshi made it clear that the Devil is pretty much well and alive, it isn't bad to live an alternate life in Japan, that's for sure. Emi's close friend and colleague Rika who still wants to impress Ashiya, Emilia clearly has a grudge against her, but it was a surprise learning that she is going out with Ashiya to get intel, or rather insipidly have a date altogether. It's funny thinking that Maou's MgRonald's kids Happy Happiness Meal reference is akin to a Pokémon rip-off, and that's saying much. Gabriel casually inviting himself to the Devil's apartment with Urushihara just lazing on the internet like a true first-class NEET, and "talk about important stuff" as much as their interactions in Ente Isla. And just as Emilia had danger signs about her mom apparently being in Japan, an outbreak of war brought from Ente Isla into Japan (as seen in Season 1's finale) would be a big problem. Just as Kao imaginatively thinks of Rika and Ashiya together (with that roughness of a botched blushing face), Chiho getting blinded by a bright light into unconsciousness is definitely a bad omen, more than anything. Invasion from Ente Isla? I would like to think so. And yeap, this is the episode that felt pretty much like the old days of yore. An entertaining episode nonetheless that's as close as it can get to Season 1's standards. |
 |
| Maou REALLY wants his TV lol, and TV are cursed in this show Emi is jealous because her friend is going to buy the TV with Ashiya and that end with Chiho's TV I wonder what really happened... anyway there's a lot of teasing for the next characters that will come especially Emi's mother |
 |
| I like how maou wants to buy a tv and he has points on his card of the shop. Tbh i feel that their life would not be so easy for so long but no emi maybe meet his mom. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Well that was an abrupt way to end the episode. We see Gabriel again and it seems he's still plotting somrthing. There's this issue of some "watcher" now. And Emi wants to find more Yesod shards and the woman from that day at the park could possibly be her mother. Decent episode overall. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| It's quite surprising to see Gabriel just talk to them casual, he also mention someone is watching them. Maoh is so prepared for buying tv in the score with his point card. |
 |
| Well they didn't even show us them buying the television lol, that's just how turtle paced this episode was. Not sure what to expect in the next two. |
 |
| That cliff hanger with the tv! Ive not seen an eps more focused on suggesting we need a tv. I have one, but its attached to my comp only. They Live!!!!! Still, I cant but help love this show, I need to see some decent action for the close though or its gonna feel like a damp squib |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Well, the plot has me a bit interested now and I actually chuckled a bit in the beginning. Yay, I guess. |
 |
| OMG i cant wait till next episode!! WILL THEY BUY THE TV OR NOT?!?!?! |
 |
| They don't have a TV? I guess I never noticed. This TV debate was probably the funniest thing to happen all season. Too bad it seems too little too late, we really needed more scenes like this throughout. Other than that, nothing really happened again. I am disappointed we didn't see the TV shopping yet -- I guess they are building towards something for the finale though. |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| it's alright, curious to see what's going on with emi's mom. gabriel was definitely trying to provoke and got provoked instead. |
 |
| The toughest arc yet, the buying a TV arc lol, so many choices and so many price tags, what will our heroes do, Maou’s plan was funny tho because of the points he saved up, Ashiya was soundly defeated. The fact Ashiya invited Suzuki too will make for some great moments. I especially loved the conversation between Urushihara and Gabriel, I guess when you think about it the angels are NEETs lol, and I didn’t expect Gabriel to adapt to human life as well, he is fun tho so I’m glad he’s not really a villain for now. Also Chiho’s friend Kao is cute but she made a wicked face there at the end lol, looked like she was melting. And lastly all of Emi Yusa’s rage regarding Suzuki going with the lads to buy a TV was great as well lol. |
| Man the last few episodes having so low % of 5s, I'm amazed. I know this show has been so mediocre to watch but it hasn't sunk in when seeing the poll results how flat this actually is for everyone. Only a couple more episodes to go but damn, this show went from people begging for a season 2 for many years, to forgetting about its existence really soon and not caring while it's actually airing. |
This will be a very good meme.  |
| Oh my god, will they buy the TV? I'm so anxious for next week now. |
| I wanted to see them argue over TV's at the store this ep lol. Seems like they're building up to something this episode, with Emi going off to find the other shards, Emi's mom, and some odd cliffhanger with Chi at the end of the ep. I'm excited for some action. |
RioFS said: Well, the plot has me a bit interested now and I actually chuckled a bit in the beginning. Yay, I guess. I know, right? With an actual laugh and a cliffhanger that means something this is the high point of the season. |
| Nothing really happened.. seemed like a fluff episode. |
  |
| I remember the hyped when Season 2 was announced. But look at now, all the hyped was gone... Episodes become boring, the joke didn't hit like Season 1. |
 |
| After all this time, I don't blame Maou for wanting a T.V in the small apartment. Not seeing a T.V in there at all does look weird in this age, so I thoroughly enjoyed watching his debate with Ashiya on the pros and cons of getting a T.V at all. Maou being very smug after whipping out the points card and taking the morale high ground over Ashiya was pretty funny. =) Same goes for Urushihara's NEET talk with Gabriel when he decided to pay a visit (along with raiding the fridge freezer for barley tea and an ice lolly. Their talk did bring up someone who might threaten the peace that everyone is having now, so I do see Gabriel playing an assisting role this time. Hopefully we'll see him again soon. Another funny moment was with Emilia at work, where she couldn't stop thinking about how Rika hanging out with Ashiya to help with the T.V shopping, making her lose her rag every few seconds. Her boss letting her go home early was a blessing, so she put her extra time to good use with the yesod shard that she has on her. Chiho's friend pulled off some wacky facial expressions when she envisioned Maou and Ashiya living together (definitely a yaoi fangirl), although it felt a bit ironic that Chiho lost consciousness when a bright light appeared on her own T.V at home. Along with Suzuno's thoughts of Maou and how she wants him to stay in Japan, as well as more dialogue into Emilia's talk with her friend about her mother, things are shaping up for an interesting last two episodes of this season. Considering how mixed this season has been with plenty of users here, I can only hope that the last two episodes can end on a good enough note. |
| So I guess now something is going to go down once they're at the store. |
 |
| What just happened at the end? Chiho got possesed? |
 |
| Does Gabriel work at a manga café or library? He doesn't know Maou's tressure and in this episode, Maou want's a television? Does the ending imply Chiho has a magic television? Emeralda suspects Lailah is Emi's mother, and if she's alive, Emi has no reason to avenge (at least one) of her parents, her grudge against Maou is meaningless (especially if Lailah approves of Maou). |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Actually had a few chuckles this episode. This episode actually wasn't too bad building into the next arc. |
| Emi going crazy because Riku's gonna hang with Ashiya is a bit too much, no wonder she got sent home by her boss lol |
       |
| Good episode as always. Curious for next episode. |
| Lucifer and Gabriel talking so causualy... how weird. And to think Alas Ramus' mother is Emi, but I guess it explain why she called her "mom" when she saw her first. And I wonder what the thing with the TV though... Would they be able to properly finish it by two episodes...? Let's hope |
 |
| without lucifer this show is nothing! also watching the animation get worse and worse each episode is kind of a funny game. alciel looks like hitoshisan from nyan neko sugar girls in one frame XD |
 |
| The Rika X Ashiya ship is kinda cute. It is a shame that Ashiya is ignorant |

 |
| Emi's reactions to that phone call with Rika were hilarious. And then her freakouts at work, poor her coworker xD. Coworker voiced by Aoi Koga btw. Suzune also wanting a tv was cute. I love how Gabriel just walks in, helps himself from the fridge and casually chats with Urushihara while the others are gone. Urushihara's NEET pride is amazing haha. What the hell with Chiho's fujoshi friend lmao. The ending was weird. |
| Why do I have the feeling that Chi chan got possed again. |
| I always enjoy the episodes of this show. Seems like accurate depictions of young Japanese adults living modest lives. |
 |
| Looks like things are gonna get interesting from here on out. Chiho is out cold. Let's see what happens now. |
