Why is Maou three syllable's? isn't the 'ou' in Maou not separate syllables? cmiiw, it's called the 'long o', often written with a dash above the o. Same thing with 'uu' in Yuusha. Also, 'Demon King' four? De-Mo-N King, is that right? Seems strange if we leave out 'n' alone but not 'ng'.

I have to admit, this anime thus far has turned out way different than I had thought it would. My first exposure to it was in the Laugh a Day thread, with a manga post involving the Hero lying in bed with two other girls at his sides and arguing over him.
Needless to say, I made... assumptions. But so far, it's been a pleasant surprise.

Also bear in mind that different romanization schemes treat vowels differently. It's hard to be sure what's going on without knowing the kana readings for the words involved.
If this sounds like going in circles, well sometimes it is. It's much easier to read a Japanese phrase when you already know what it means

Technically speaking the o and u are two syllables here.
But it's a technical issue raised to avoid the practical issue of concern: Namely, in practice, the sound おう has the length of a diphthong and needs to be treated as such when dubbed (Tokyo is technically a 4 syllable word for the same reason Maou is 3). Hence, Demon King/Queen does not work.

Hero was really keen on having his party.
Also keen on showing his friend that demons and humans can live in peace. Maou was having an adventure of her own. Knight was being weird again... I really don't get what's up with her. The church and the whole potatoes thing is ridicules.

It's both. Kō Ōtani's name (a composer) can also be written "Kou Ootani".

______ Really good episode this week, possibly the best so far. Things are getting very complicated. What can Hero possibly do without Maou?

Was it really safe to tell the merchant all of that. Hope the sisters don't get hurt. So the Maou knew the Yuusha's friend, though it was weird that there were 3 of them in 1 body. So the Maou might not return as herself, does that mean the older maou's take over her body?

The church is starting to feel the sting of loosing thier grip on the Southern kingdoms. An ill wind is blowing and frictions are starting to build. Those in power seldomly willingly give it up. In time such as these all that is needed is the right spark to change the world. I AM HUMAN

Hopefully things go as smoothly as possible with this plan. I feel like that Older Sister's life just keeps getting more dangerous. Bad news all over. Will have to see how everyone gets through this.

Looks like all that foreshadowing about the anti-demon conservative cardinal becoming the new Pope did have an impact when he declares Crimson Scholar a Heretic and her teachings and crops blasphemous.
