It wasn't clear to me how Maou looked when the light went dark but I felt suddenly he was all bishified and the glowing red eyes looked kind of secshy. Or maybe I just saw it wrong. Regardless, the moment when he turned around with the glowing red eyes saying he would save the world (or something along that line) made him look secshy.

I really like the music in the show. The piano playing when Maou and Chiho were talking about the quake was great.
The quake caught me by surprise. I thought it'd just be a tiny shake. I'm interested in who the other guy attacking them last week was. |

I like the part where Maou got more buff than he ever was in that flashback when he ruled as the demon lord. Also, I think it's pretty obvious at this point who the culprit from episode 2 is. (The only other remotely humanoid demon general briefly introduced in the flashback) Hopefully I'm proven wrong on my suspicion and it turns out to be one of the hero's allies, because that sounds pretty neat on paper.

it seems maou is never the bad guy after all..its just like the state of two country in the war in each other, there is never a bad guy, each side is just as "sinful" as the other side, beside who knows the fate of demon race to make maou to attack the human, are they being oppressed? or the human attack first secretly?chastised them like every good church do? is the decision is pure maou's will or is it the will of the masses, he just basically being "forced" to as the leader?
as the murderer of the yuusha's parent, in war casualties always exist, no leader can fully control each of their soldier like a chess piece, there will be always soldier who pillaged, kill, rape civilian, since in this case demon have a lot of animosity with human, kill any human they can find...regardless of the order...it;'s basically just wrong to solely blame it all in the hand of maou's, when yuusha dont even know the reason of war, and just assume he's some kind of mad tyrant like hitler |

It's really more like Japan finally caught on to the fact that the straight Evil Demon Lord archetype is overused especially in the realm of fantasy stories and games (something which Japan loves way too much), and so now they can do something different by having the Maou's actually be misunderstood good guys instead.

I have to admit before watching anime I wasn't very familiar with seeing the Demon Lord/Satan in any story good or bad.
A most I saw him in possession/horror stories like the exorcist. I was terrified of being possessed as a kid. I also remember a really scary devil in the movie Legend (with a very young Tom Cruise) Now maybe if Satan looked like this I would not have been so afraid.

What was it that someone else said? To understand the perspective of a human, you have to spend time AS a human. And that's exactly what happened in this case; in his time as a down-in-his luck bum, Maou's now experienced what it's like as one of the people he likely didn't even give a thought about. Rather than get bitter and angry about it, he's picked up sympathy and a bit of compassion. Unrelated: Wouldn't it be funny if Chi-chan turned out to be a better overlord than Sadao?

I doubt he has the compassion. He does less damage due to his reason. I think his logic is: He doesn't believe causing damage has the benefit. As some people point out in episode 3, he does something very noble. He does it because he concerns about economy(resource scarcity) and the cost benefit analysis.

So, basically as his bible is the rules of his workplace; he was taught to care. He is not helping anyone based on economy, numbers or profits, but merely is an extension on what he has to practice every day; he is basically taking his work ethic outside the job. He is planing to use work ethic to climb the ladder as a worker & conquer Japan after all
