Whoa, Emi decided to go back to her parent's homeland, or at least for the time being. 

It turned into somewhat of a tense episode when she didn't return as she said. This does goes to show that Maou and the others cares about her a lot. Really interesting to see Acieth show up, almost like it was fate.

Oh, I've wanted to see this girl ever since I saw her in the trailer.
This was the most exciting episode so far imo.

Fireworks season huh. Always the highlight for summer. Hard for Emi really when your main motivation for being the hero doesn't apply anymore. The Ente Isla as of now sure is a complicated place. Emi going back now really was ill advised. Things sure escalated quickly though. I feel that Emi's vanishing act and this storm is connected somehow. Gonna need to do a lot of explaining to Rika though.

Things are ramping up! Emi going off to Enta Isla to trace her mothers footsteps seeing if that could find some answers. Taking the precious Alus Ramus with her to the other world since she's part of the holy sword. Emi leaving has left somewhat of a void in the group dynamics as they all looked rather sullen during the days she was around. Making it worse by Suzuno not hearing a word from Emi the entire time she's gone, the silence is truly deafening. Things must be very serious if Emi can't communicate at all, Suzuno said on Enta Isla their messaging could be intercepted. Emi has proven many times to be a capable warrior so if something is preventing her from responding it must be serious. Maou tried to act indifferent but Chiho brings our his human side too much for that. Maou couldn't really get to Enta Isla even if he tried since Emi isn't there to overload him with Suzuno to bring out his magic. At least training to get his moped license kept his mind occupied. On the way there he meet two people whom look a lot like an older Alus Ramus and the other a lot like Emi dad. Maou couldn't quite put things together however before something is approaching with this sudden storm.

Damn Lowkey one of the best episodes in a long time. Who would’ve thought that Emi’s simple trip to see her family would result in all this.

It really goes to show how big a role she plays in the group dynamic. She’s basically the mom of the group because as soon as she left, Maou, Suzuno and the rest look depressed and lost as hell.

Despite his act, it’s obvious Maou is concerned about Emi and Alas Ramus and for good reason. Gone an extra week without any way of contacting her in the midst of a lot of unrest in Ente Isla.

Was that Emi’s dad and a future version of Alas Ramus on the bus? I’m very much looking forward to getting answers next week

Rika has finally entered the fold, sparking my concern for Chi. However, her newfound connection with Ashiya opens the door for a closer bond between them.

Equally surprising is Emi's father's presence, yet the fate of Alus Ramus remains a curious enigma. Was she the sole one subjected to the accelerated passage of time, or has Emi also experienced years away? And why did Emi solely establish telepathic contact with Rika?

The plot seems to be taking meaningful strides now. While the previous season hinted at an impending development, my assumption was more of whimsical escapades across Japan. It appears the story is genuinely embarking on a new trajectory, promising exciting revelations and turning points ahead.

Last two posts are folks dropping the show when it was this episode where the plot started to ramp up lol, you chose a weird time to drop but honestly it’s better to drop a show you don’t like than forcing yourself to watch it.

And the plot did indeed get shaken up this episode, Emi Yusa going to Ente Isla again seemed like no big deal at first but it quickly became a big deal lol, there was some tension amongst the main cast too which goes to show how much Emi Yusa impacted them all. We also finally met Tsubasa who looks suspiciously like Alas Ramus but older, not sure if she’s a new character or some weird time stuff is going on but I’m very interested in finding out!

And now the secret is out for Suzuki, her reaction was pretty good when she saw Suzuno and Urushihara shoot out the window like Red Bull actually gave them wings lol, this could be good for her to get closer to Ashiya tho since she’s in on it now.

I'm worried of what happened with Emi and Ala Ramus! That girl Tsubasa looks like and older Alas Ramus, even saying Maou seemed familiar, I heard they're sisters so I hope they'll explain that. Oh wow Suzuno and Urushihara exposing themselves to Rika! Looks like they'll be adding another person in their group. XD

It looks like things are getting more serious now. Emi and Alas Ramus going back to Ente Isla seemed like a normal visit back to her homeland for a while, but everyone is becoming really concerned for her after being away for a lot longer than expected. Hearing more from the main cast about how unstable Ente Isla is, with Emi's safety not guaranteed anymore, does make me worried for her, which added to the tension on everyone.

Emi's father making an appearance was a bit of a surprise when Maou went to take his moped license test. What's more interesting is Tsubasa, who looks and sounds incredibly similar to Alas Ramus. Whether she's actually is Alas Ramus, but effected by time or a relative, hopefully the answer to that will be revealed soon.

With a storm approaching and Chiho's safety at risk, Suzuno and Urushihara didn't waste time in taking action, even though it did mean revealing their secrets so openly to the visiting Suzuki. I couldn't help but laugh at Ashiya face-palming at this. Good luck explaining this to Suzuki, Ashiya! XD

Either way, this episode was pretty good, with how the plot of shifting is definitely making me interested in what might happen next.

Kinda odd episode.

Maou would never say stuff like that, it has been shown over and over again that he do likes humans so that was weird af for his character.

That girl, that I'm sure it must be Alas, was weird as fuck, smelling people out of nowhere, and Maou is the fkng Demon King but he really couldn't feel anything weird from her? Big L.

And we didn't see a single scene of Emi back in their world, not even when she teleported and arrived there, how boring.

Also wtf was that at the end, Lucifer has wings and I was waiting for him to use them, would've caused a bigger shock for Suzuki lol
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~

cant wait for the people who despite this being the final nail in the conffin to show them that no
maou sama isnt some parody/subversion take on "isekai" or op mc shit
and just plays the shit so straight

but theyll blame the studio or wathever and insist its not their fault for having shitty expecations cause they dont have basic literacy


because yes a novel from 2011 before the isekai boom fully happened and even before the op mc of maous lvl totally existed in dozens that maou sama is subverting and parodying it
totally ofc
and its also totally not just a begone from its time which shows 
nah
studio and anime staff fault


reiwa weebs will unironically tell u they want a remake or sequel but when they get it ,its suddenly souless and a cashgrab cause they dont like the thing anymore and cant fathom they grew out of it and must mean the show somehow became bad

Emilia going back home along with Alas Ramus, though the one hardest hit is most likely Maou. Furthermore, Chiho's birthday falls within the time that she is gone, so Sept 12th it is to celebrate together as one community. But both Emilia and Emerada not being able to be contactable in Ente Isla, it's her own affair that he should not be indulging in. But the fact that Chiho's around and no longer a minor character, the fear that Emilia, Emerada, or anyone affiliated with her would turn into trouble, though their concern is warranted as Maou takes his moped license.

A father and daughter pair that captures Maou's attention as he's revising for his license, though he got a shock from Tsubasa who started touching and groping him unwillingly. Even worse, Emilia isn't back yet from Suzuki's work reports, and Chiho's SOS can only mean one thing: Emilia's in danger.

Emilia be safe and sound...

What is going on?!

Obviously Emi decided to leave in the previous episode, so that’s not a surprise at all.

Mao trying to get his Moped license makes sense. It’s clear that Mao can’t afford a car (nor does he seem to need one at the moment), but if MgRonalds does their deliveries using them, I’m shocked that he has yet to have gotten this license. Who is this Tsubasa Satou and why does she look like an older version of Alas Ramas? Why is rainfall happening way before it was forecasted? How is it that Emi contacted Rika after she was supposed to return? What is going on at Chiho’s school?

Lots of questions will need to be answered in the next episode.

This is all sudden. A grown-up Alas Ramus appears to have come to Earth with Emi's father adapting to society as Maou is doing taking a moped license test, did Emi had to stay behind in Ente Isla to fight as the hero?
Ooh Rika got revealed more secrets.

So now we have a more grown up version of Alas Ramus... the focus on her is really dragging down this show even further, isn't it?
