Both perfectly valid forms of negotiation .

Well, Shera definitely isn't shy, or at least she is enough of an airhead that she doesn't understand that in some situations she should be shy. I hope for Diablo that Rem won't learn what happened during the bath.

Why? The worst that'll happen is Rem trying to upstage Shera.

[Tenzen12]

Because if Rem lowered herself on same level, party inteligence average would be effectively halved.

episode 2:

glad the poor kid was healed.

that's a "hot" bath scene with Shera.

and looks like things will be heating up more next week, with some torture and combat. lol

[Frontier]

So, to the surprise of probably no one, Batutta is corrupt and has secretly been running an underground sex cult turning virtuous people sinful to create a curse to infect the populace and bring down Laminitus (for reasons). Guess you can't trust anyone in the church other than Lumachina .

I appreciate Lumachina's outfit for the fact that her fainting can expose those luscious legs .

Horn seems like a good kid, going out of his way to let Diablo know what was going on and then backing them up by freeing Rem and Lumachina .

I see Batutta's maid also moonlights as his dominatrix, with a sexy outfit to match, and she sure knows how to feel girls up with that long and sinister tongue of hers .

It seems like Diablo's weakness in this game is experienced old men, though Batutta could never overcome Diablo with his great equipment and willingness to push forward with only a little health .

Shera actually did something! She saved Rem and petrified Shiliu, giving Diablo the chance he needed to finish Batutta off. We even got a brief panty flash from her when she landed to greet him! I'd say that more than earned Diablo Princess Carrying her .

So there's a general of the actual Demon Lord of this world making trouble for Laminitus, and basically forcing her to become part of his Harem, and I'm assuming she'll ask Diablo's help to get out of it. Have to say though, seeing her fend that guy off in nothing but a towel was pretty impressive .

They may have stopped Batutta, but now Lumachina is cursed with the Death Knell, and the only chance to save her is by beating Diablo's dungeon and...becoming idols ?

[FlareKnight]

Batutta was bound to be corrupt, but I figured he might be slightly less evil than this. There was some decent logic in what the church had to do when cornered by the Lord. Although I guess this is also a logical (and absolutely horrible) result. The confrontation between Church and State going right up to Batutta creating a deadly curse to try and kill Laminitus. Of course he was so far gone that even if he killed her he wasn't going to get the Church back on track after...

I'm not going to give Laminitus a whole lot of slack. She's just been cornered as well, but the state of the town is partially her responsibility. Nothing she did had to do with the Demon Lord general she was ambushed by. She picked a fight with the Church and hasn't done much about the gang Batutta formed nor the curse that was going around town. I suppose we're supposed to feel bad for her because she was cornered by that guy in the bath. But she's still an antagonist at this stage. Luckily for her she should get the same kind of 'redemption' that Alicia got so she'll come out of this alive.

There's a lot of Demon Lords hanging around these days though. Did this guy literally just awaken in the last week or so? Otherwise it seems weird that the Fallen were going through all that effort to resurrect Klem. Although that could have led to an amusing Demon Lord showdown between the awakened powered up Klem versus whoever this other Demon Lord is .

This was absolutely the tightest pinch for Diablo. Up against someone who had a very effective strategy. Makes Galford look downright safe by comparison...It's a good reminder that you don't live to be powerful and old in that world without being very smart as well. Diablo has great experience in the game and knowledge about matchups. But fighting in a fragile space on stairs just isn't going to be represented in the game. Diablo's level gap is narrowing with the threats coming at him and his combat inexperience could cost him as well. This time he was saved by his gear, but even he might need to raid his own dungeon to gear up a bit more.

Good job by Shera. She did get a handy new tool, but also stepped up when it counted. Of course it also makes me hope that Rem will get a moment herself since at this point she's only had the chance to get motion sick and turned into a hostage...again.

[thundrakkon]

So when Diablo stated that his dungeon is here, does he mean that he created that dungeon from scratch? Or that he conquered it before and now it belongs to him? If he created it from scratch, then that would mean that this world is definitely connected directly somehow from the game he played. If it is from conquering the dungeon, then it is still connected, but just not as directly. He just needs to reconquer again.

[Tenzen12]

It's his own dungeon. He build it with himself as final boss and he would do especially cruel things to challengers that came as couples.

[thundrakkon]

Interesting. That means that this world and the game are directly related. Also means that if he had any special gear and equipment from the game, they would all be in his dungeon. Diablo might be in for an upgrade then, with equipment that is.

[Liddo-kun]

episode 3:

"losing your weapon and your arm is also a part of your plan?" Diablo is badass.

looking forward to next week.

[Frontier]

Just as our heroes are off to save Lumachina and the village from the Death Knell Curse, Laminitus and her forces ambush them and are prepped to kill them via firing squad...and Diablo just can't drop his character for five seconds even when he shouldn't be saying he's a Demon Lord because he thinks it makes him a better conversationalist .

Laminitus doesn't broker any fools, but she seems to know an opportunity when she sees it, and if Diablo and his party can cure the Death Knell Curse, it'll probably work out for the best on her side. It's just a shame she had to bring Gewalt with her to find them .

Raw or not raw? Indirect kiss from Rem or Shera? So many difficult choices .

Gotta wonder who flashes their panties more, Shera or Lumachina :P?

Poor Diablo tries to comfort the girls but comes off as lashing out at them or uncaring because of how he acts in-character, making all the girls feel like they did something wrong. Poor Rem even cried .

Nothing quite like a Q&A session over magma to get the girls to all strip down to their underwear, and I guess we have to thank Horn for getting that question wrong to the point where they took their bra's off. Diablo certainly got lucky with some nice, intimate, body touching .

Then it's time to cool off with an impromptu idol performance for some yeti's as Diablo becomes a producer and manages to make the girls into a solid idol unit within a short training session. We even got a fairly solid song and dance number to boot, led by Shera/Yuu Serizawa. It was also kind of fun seeing Diablo join in on the dance number as well .

Welp, Gewalt caught up to them and almost nabbed Lumachina, but Horn got in the way and saved her, but then fell into the water with Gewalt. Luckily Diablo dives in after them to save Horn .

Next week: Aoi Koga finally becomes Hayasaka ?

Seems like the dance scene is so good that the production company release this on their youtube account

[thundrakkon]

My issue with this episode, even though I absolutely expected it to happen, was that Gewalt just caught up to them like it was nothing. The team had to endure quite the journey full of trials, and Gewalt just comes to the exact spot deep in the dungeon like it was nothing.

I saw a theory online that Gewalt used one of his creatures to tunnel through into the dungeon to catch up to Diablo and company.

I did consider that aspect, but there a few things going against that. Mainly, how did he pinpoint exactly where they'll be? The ground and dungeon must be a huge place, not to mention finding a spot like that. If he is capable of cheating his way through a dungeon, then every dungeon is a piece of cake for him, which means he can get to the end in most dungeons instantly, claim all their prizes, etc. Also, wouldn't a dungeon have a defense mechanism where if he tunneled to a particular location, a ton of monsters would interfere? Or maybe even a barrier?


It's a bit too convenient for Gewalt. If it was this convenient, then shouldn't Diablo already have a spell at the beginning to immediate teleport to his treasure room? It is Diablo's dungeon, after all.

[FlareKnight]

There's no doubt that Gewalt catching up was a bit questionable. It's possible he tunneled his way through the dungeon and just set a trap at what figured to be a convenient spot. He may not have known where they'd be, but if he managed to get ahead of them while they were messing around with the stupid gimmicks of Diablo's dungeon then the odds weren't terrible that he could catch them. Plus even if they had gotten ahead of him they'd likely have to go back through the dungeon to leave so it would still work.

This was a rough episode for Diablo's communication skills. Normally leaning in on the Demon Lord stuff works out fine since Shera and Rem either interpret things positively or they can read the subtext. This time it just wasn't working and it lead to both Rem and Shera getting a bit depressed. Despite both of them mattering to him it came across more harsh than anything else.

I do wonder if he needs to pretend like he doesn't know about this dungeon. Couldn't he just say that his dungeon was summoned with him? Rem and Shera summoning someone as powerful as him was beyond the expected logic of summoning in that world anyways. So would it stretch things out any further to explain things like that? I suppose it worked out on some level since Rem thought the dungeon was rather childish so his reputation is protected.

Honestly his dungeon appearing in this world raises several questions. Is he inside a game world? A world based on the game created by some supernatural being? A world that just happened to be similar to the game he was playing? The last one seems to be negated since his dungeon is there. But the first one doesn't feel right either since there are no other "players" and the characters in the show are far beyond any NPC programming.

[The Green One]

It's long been a cliche in games that the Antagonists, as well as NPCs, can travel anywhere in the world within a moments notice as long as it's plot relevant.

What's that? This is an anime? But ah it's an anime about a world based on a game which runs on it's tropes and workings.

Hmmm? That still doesn't make sense? Since when does this series follow logic anyway?

And yes, I did consider this possibility as well, but then it raises other issues. What if Diablo was done with the dungeon? What if he took a different path? Diablo can also teleport, so he doesn't have to go back to this location. Also, Gewalt must know the exact layout of the dungeon somehow to figure out that the spot is good to set a trap.


But yeah, The Green One's point about bad guys going wherever is what happened here, and it is what I expected in the first place. Doesn't mean I like it, but it is what it is.

episode 4:

"Producer" Diablo made me laugh. That song and dance is so good.

looking forward to next week!
