I like Suzuno's confidence in this and it looks like Maou is also ready to finally get the work done.

This however felt like another buildup episode again as we see narrative perspective from Emi and Maou's side. Emi realizes that he might forgive her but is prepared to face him anyways. Big climax coming soon!

Been a while since we've seen Miki.

Back in the human realm, Miki Shiba, the landlord of the Demon Castle, appears. She asks Chiho if she is prepared, and Chiho responds with determination, stating that she doesn't want to run away. At that time, Emi was carried as the banner of the volunteer army and engaged in battle with the Maleblanque army, whose general was Ashiya. Maou heads to Ente Isla to end this situation, but is unable to use the holy sword. Will it be possible to prevent a clash between Emi and Ashiya?

Man this season just keeps getting more and more intense. We get a lot of info about the bond of Alas Ramus and Acieth, and how the demons have been doing since Maou's absence. Seems they're not just following him and killing people for no reason. tehy're somewhat good people I guess you could say. It was obvious that the pervious season was a set up season for the greatness we're getting right now. Though I'm inserted in seeing how they'll tie all this up with just two episode left. A cliffhanger is the last thing I want right now.

With Maou on his way to save Emi, Ashiya preparing for this battle, and Emi waiting for Maou, I'm wondering how this'll end.

For as long as Chiho loves, learning the truth from Amane and the landlord might not change the current landscape, but it's either you live with, or not knowing about the truth at all.

With no access to his power, Maou is at a standstill, though Albert lingers on Adramelech being a civil demon who wears Maou's heart on his shoulders, being convninced that Satan is not all that bad. Though, seeking answers on the Sephiroth brought them nowhere. But Acieth did bring up some legitimate thoughts of how Maou treats the girls, espeically Chiho and Emi. As more time allows, Emilia doesn't feel good that she has to face him like an enemy, not like someone whom she has an affection for.

A letter coming for Emilia, and that can only mean one thing: Maou is nearby, and Alciel is waging war, that puts her heart at ease somewhat. Save people for love, I suppose.

1:40 Holy damn we finally learn the landlord's identity lmao. She's been acting like she knows everything about Maou ever since season 1.
Emi is in a really rough position.
20:30 冷奴 (hiyayakko) - cold tofu, Japanese dish made with chilled tofu and toppings. 茗荷 (myouga) - Japanese ginger (the characters are chosen just for their pronunciation, so "luggage" isn't relevant).
Maou x Emi FTW!

Amane and Chi chan making themselves at home lol. The landlord makes her long delayed entrance. Maou sure has become a lightweight in this world. It was sad seieng Emi be forced into such a corner by the church but the code from Alciel sure provided her with one hell of a creative comeback using items only she and her allies know off. Looking forward to seeing the gang rub the church once more.

Probably one of my fave hatamaou episodes ever ngl. You know it’s funny cause a lot of people wrote off the series after s2 which was pretty bad, but this season’s story is actually the best in the series imo. Lot of cool lore, character interactions and emotional moments like today.

Cool to finally learn about Amane’s backstory. Being half Sepiroth and half human is interesting. Of course the land lady of all people finally makes her first ever appearance and interrupts Chiho and Amane’s convo lol.

Ashiya’s just naming days and Maou’s work schedule and the other demons are like wtf is he on about 😂

Aw, Maou planning out Chiho and Emi’s birthday party for when they all make it home is really sweet. He’s become a lot more considerate lately. Too bad Acieth had to go and literally puke them into the sky lmao

Wow that Emi breakdown there towards the end was the biggest vocalisation of her feelings towards Maou. This isn’t just a “rivalry” anymore. He’s become someone very important and irreplaceable to her.

“The devil is coming for me” love that ending! Excited for next week’s episode

Emilia just can't accept that she likes Maou. Alas Ramus adorable as usual and Emi's definitely glad to have her with her. Maou and Acieth flying while she was puking was hilarious. Where did they end up though? Also nice reveal about Amane and the landlord.

I'm glad that Chiho made the choice of wanting to know everything after being asked that question from the landlord herself. It's better to know about something you can't change compared to being in the complete unknown, after all.

Speaking of which, Maou's powers aren't coming back anytime soon, so he had to be left behind with Alceith while Suzuno and Albert went ahead with their plan. It did give us some amusing moments between the two, the highlight being Alcieth puking a rainbow after eating too much food, which unleashed her powers and sent her and Maou into a nearby lake. XD

As for Emi, she did hit her mental limit of what was going on around her, so it was nice to see Alas Ramus give her some words of reassurance and comfort, which did help Emi. What also helped was the letter from Alciel, which has him waging war. It does have me wondering how things will end with two episodes left, unless there's a cliffhanger ending, but here's hoping that things will improve for the greater good for our main cast. =)

I thought things might boil and explode this episode but looks like we’re not quite there yet, there were some big moments in this one tho. Emi Yusa breaking down over her situation and feelings about Maou felt like a long time coming, sad to see tho lol, and then there was the scene at the end when Emi was really happy to find out Maou was coming to save her which was nice to see after she was so down before that, and Emilia using Olba and the soldiers’ lack of knowledge on Japan to fool them was clever as well lol.

And one thing I wasn’t expecting this episode was a flying Acieth while projectile vomiting lol, that was hilarious, as well as Ashiya forming battle plans based on Maou’s work schedule lol, it’s one of those things you could only get in this series. And man, Maou seeing Emi as a rival kinda hurts but perhaps that could change? I think I am more in that boat than Chiho.

Emi is all torn up about how she should be feeling in this situation. Being used by Heaven and the church to kill more demons and suppress them. After all the time she's been living in Japan seeing these so called demon leaders act like normal people. Emi has grown close to them especially after Alas Ramus entered the picture. Her and Maou spending even more time together being her parents. All their daily antics have accumulated into Emi being torn of what she should do. Other people like her friend here in Enta Isla and her dad are being held hostage but she can't bring herself to kill more demons. After learning so much about them, how they can be noble and honorable just like people can. Maou himself is gonna have to sit things out for a minute, Suzuno and her friend going off to try and free the people being held hostage against Emi. Maou having to stay behind with Tsubasa, her excessive appetite leading to an over filling that then leads to projectile vomit light beam. Tsubasa wisking both her and Maou away maybe being drawn towards Alas Ramus. Ashiya sending a message to Emi that Maou is indeed coming to save her

I like how comic bits are sprinkled in like Libicocco and Maou's work schedule.

Devil is coming to save the day like Kirito!

This expedition to their world has been boring as shit, damn. I'm so fkng grateful for Acieth to have been introduced just before all of this, because she is carrying this shit ass arc with her cute & dumb silliness, I swear.
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.

Amane's and the landlady full identities are revealed.
Emi having a crisis RN, she still hasn't met Nord yet and still has the firm belief that Satan was responsible for his death in her mind.

Not into any ship in this series anymore, as both Emi and Chiho are kind of insufferable in their own. But for the time being, since they're pushing Emi and Maou together, we'll see how this whole conflict in Ente Isla would end. By the way, thumbs up to Ashiya, man really knows his way with the words lol.

Also, if it wasn't obvious yet, both landlady and her niece Amane are NOT normal people.

So for whatever reason, Satan can’t get back to his original form and as a result, Suzuno and Al must go forth with this operation all on their own. But in the meantime, it seems that he and Acieth will get some training in to prepare for the upcoming battle? Also we’ve learned a little more about who and what Ameno is exactly.

Not completely following the lore, but I understand that for whatever reason, Olba wants to exterminate the demons to build his own empire and he’s using Emilia as a pawn to get that done. However, Alsiel has written a letter in Japanese to send a message to Emilia and it seems things will heat up in these next episodes.

Not following along completely, but I guess things will wrap up soon…

Damn, Sadao's work schedule is hell. Only people with a fetish for working can appreciate that. The average person would become depressed and would rather die if they had to spend most of their lives working and making others rich. Human society is so stupid it pisses me off just thinking about it.

Emi was able to trick Olba about that Hiyayakko. Haha!

Oba-san is back too, i feel Maou living there is not a coincidence. Ashiya also give a sign for Emi that Maou will come. I know Ashiya is smarter than i know. It is the time when Achieth also throw her power out maybe Maou will get his power. They are all will be in one scene soon.

She said! Suzuno said it! She accepted her new role as demon army general. And Emi accepted Satan in her life. (Weird sentence out of context).

All according to Satan's master plan.

Btw, did you notice, show was pretty consitent with separating Ente Isla and Japanese language so far... until now, when they have full episodes so they jsut speak Jap.
