| Hmm, it looks like Leon is really bonding with Melnes in these latest episodes including this one and helping her improve social skills through their 'interviews'. Leon display his sense of justice as expected as a man of his personality. Tbh, it feels like Melnes is very lucky to have a friend like Leon, probably the closest friend she has right now. |
 |
| Leon's reason for joining the Demon Army that's instigated by Mernes instead of Shutina, Mernes shared some sentiment for being a human-demon hybrid sold off from young to be fatally trained into assassination. From an assassin, then raised into the Demon Army to become one of Echidna's Great Generals together with the other Generals, until Leon's interference as the Hero set his dream to exterminate humanity fleeting, I think I understand Mernes's psyche better now as opposed to just giving up after losing heavily to Leon (when he was the Hero at that time), because it's all empathy for people whom suffered the same. Leon's story about a Japan thwarted by demons that spread globally like wildfire, and his creation of being an human bioweapon in a stoic "hero series" who's the only one left alive made just to exterminate demons, the sense of depth of Leon's character as a tool is a 50-50 litigation of being sideswiped by humanity and being accepted into his own soul to do what he wanted to: join the other side. A slow episode, but one that breathes life into Leon's past and who he truly is. Honestly, this episode may feel boring, but give it some thought and it can be life-changing, I will admit that this has heart. |
 |
| Damn our boi Leo is secretly an old hag |
 |
| Great episode! It was nice to see Melnes giving his backstory as well as his motivation for joining the demon lord's army as well as Leon's... it seems he was designed as a weapon by the humans to beat the demons and he is also over a thousand years old! Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| That escalated quickly. Still, not enough depth for me to care about it. |
 |
| Wow, what an episode. The visions of the past finally makes sense now, even though I'm pretty sure I've seen the modern-to-magical setting done elsewhere before. I wonder if Echidna and the other generals will eventually hear Leo's story as well, I'd love to see their reactions. |
| It's nice they already explained those future (or actually past) dreams. I like that idea, it adds some depth to Leo's strength. Now I wish to see reaction of other generals when they learn about that. |
| Well as a mere anime watcher I judging by how the episode started y really didn't expect that story. I guess is good storybuilding for both characters. Who would've guess that he was one of many weapons created more than a thousand years ago. |
| Alright, finally those strange dreams are explained. Leon narrates his backstory as a someone who was protected the world for more than 1000 years and finally liberated himself by quitting heroin'. Now he just wants to see the world for himself and what better way than from the perspective of the humans. |
 |
| Leo has gone through a lot, he more than deserves to do whatever he wants now. |
 |
| Damn, Leo’s back story is actually pretty cool. A rather unique take on the fantasy genre. It must have been so hard carrying that burden and secret for thousands of years. No wonder the first opportunity he got to talk to someone about it he did. Being with the demon army is really the first choice he’s ever been able to make on his own. |
 |
| Leon's backstory is kinda...tragic, a common thing villains want is immortality but its not as fun as it seems |
| Interesting episode. I'm glad that he's actually just over a thousand years old and not an isekai character. Makes him more interesting. I hope the demon queen finds out about this backstory for the hero but probably not. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Wait... so the previous "our normal" Human world was destroyed by a sudden invasion of Demons? are those the same demons our current MC is interacting? either way... doesn't this mean the Demons technically already won once cause the previous world is already gone, even if the Demons were repelled in the end, all previous world knowledge is already lost (only the "Hero" knows) and the invasion this time was ALSO ended by the Hero, except the current world didn't die as the Demon Queen is a good girl. ___ ___ ___ Too bad the previous world didn't have "Doom Guy", otherwise the world wouldn't have ended. LOL Interestingly... the "spread" is literally the same as in "Doom" where portals opened up and Demons came out and the Demons were way stronger than Humans and captured majority of the world within days. AND... the original "Doom Slayer" was also a regular human til he obtained "Demon Tech" that turned him into god mode. Which is exactly what the Humans in this world did with Leo. Except Leo wasn't as god mode enough like Doom Slayer and previous Human World still died, lol. I wonder if the author of this series is a fan of "DOOM" series... LOL ___ ___ ___ BTW... so... do we technically count this series as "Post-Apocalyptic" and "Sci-fi"? Cause it's not an Isekai nor a Reincarnate cause the MC didn't do both, rather he lived through it. And Sci-fi cause Leo is technically the byproduct of advance science and not "magic". |

| That was a total mic drop moment for me. I thought it was an isekai of some kind!!! Luckily its not a US show otherwise I'd assume he was grooming. Phew. Love it, and pretty wild plot twist this episode!! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| What a great episode man, his backstory was indeed interesting, and both of them just speaking made their talk even deeper. Judging from Echidna's book, that guy can't be a good deal. But we'll see. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Since the name of Leo kinda giving me such a strange impression, this episode finally revealing all of it. At the end of the day, the twist of Leo backstory still took me out of surprise. Its not isekai, nor generic fantasy with demon-human grudge every once in a while and op af mc as the walking plot driver. Its post-apocalyptic situations where magic become a matters to the whole world. Because of Leo too who thought them all the magic. Finally yuusha yamemasu had its enlightenment moment, even if i must be honest, its quite lost its big momentum. Not to mention its all started with emo assassin like Mernes which kinda logical why Leo decided to spill the secret. Since Leo objective now kinda already clear enough and then his backstory. Though i am wondering if Echidna father actually still alive on the demon world? What happened if they meet again but with the different situation and Echidna finally already on a good side with Leo after they both manage to get themself the stone? As interesting as its sounds, unfortunately there's still a problem ahead. Not even related to the stone. So, lets see how well Leo solved that big warrior problem... |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| so basically this was not isekai in general, the concept was same like Gate, when the MC didn't die and just go through a portal/gate to go to another world. Personally i think the story would be more interesting if Leo really wanted to exterminate the human race. |
 |
| Well well well, we have a lot of surprises this season, this episode made this show so much more interesting. And people who thought it was trash are missing out. |
 |
| Damn, who would've thought all that teaching of communication skills to Mernes would lead to this. Great episode! It was nice to see Leon's backstory. It's now confirmed that this world is indeed a post-apocalyptic one, though I expected something like a philosopher's stone to be the reason for Leon's strength and immortality, but nah, he's literally just built different lmao. If Leon could say this much to Mernes, it's only a matter of time before he tells Echidna as well that truth. But first, we have one more general left to get to know, looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Leon backstory is pretty crazy, is different but sounds more like preposterous |
| No hate or anything I'm quite enjoying the series but why is there an action tag on it? lol |
 "Only one with the courage to shoulder the burden of their own fate can be called a hero.." |
| Nice episode, I liked getting his backstory and this also has a "justifiable" reason for him being so strong. Though, he mentioned there are 12 Demonharts, and by the principle of Chekhov's gun, I believe some are still alive or may come back. Edwald next episode it seems. |
 |
Who would have thought that... What a huge surprise! No isekai this time, guys. |
| Quite an interesting episode.. no doubt about that.. Leo backstory can be written by anyone but is executed extremely well here.. A Hero who's 1000+ and is now officialy resigned from his task.. Ya know.. all of a sudden I have extreme respect for our BOI Leo.. his motivation makes sense.. Dude just wants to protect the people he WANTS too.. and not be forced by any duty burdened on him.. |
| they took some good time to make interesting characters. seeing it from first person perspective is good. i love this show |
 Maybe watching, maybe reading, probably living |
| Wtf, it was genuinely good. |
| Finally, we know what is his motivation and his age :) |

| And we got here Leo and Mernes gae moments. Well, I was wrong about my suspicion before that Leo is a reincarnated hero. It was a good backstory to clear things. Didn't expect that Leo is a biological weapon. He's somewhat like a god in his case, being alive after thousands of years and not aging. |
   |
| So we finally get the Hero's backstory. It's much more depressing then I would have imagined honestly |
 My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu |
Polvo_Aranha said: Wait, do people actually think this episode was boring? It ended so fast to me. I really enjoyed Leon's development in this episode. Sim, só valeu pelo plot twist rsrs |
| A bit dismayed by the plot. We are unable to fight these magic primitive beasts due to???? Reminder of Humanities Arsenal: .50 BMG Tanks Attack Helicopters Gunships Anti-Tank/Ant-Air Missiles Artillery FAEB MOAB FUCKING TACTICAL AND STRATEGICAL THERMONUCLEAR ICBMS. Seriously a war of that size would piss off most countries to consider Nuclear weapons. |

Seriously a war of that size would piss off most countries to consider Nuclear weapons. As I mentioned. Think about "DOOM" (if you've played or seen it) DOOM Eternal opening That's what happened to Leo's old Human World. It happened so fast and the portals appeared everywhere, you would have to literally nuke the entire world, which would also end all Humans while at it. So Nukes was purely useless at this point. Similar to DOOM, the Demons possess natural armor, did you not see 90% of bullets bounce off those Goblins? It took 3 guys with like 300+ ammo to kill 1 Goblin... LOL |
