You know, it might just be time to bail on the hyumans and let them cook while having a far better time working with the demons. There are some good hyumans in the show......but those few are a very small minority in a sea of scumbags.

Hmmm, the demons are the ones looking a lot less trustworthy this week so at this point neither side seems all that great to be honest. The city is probably going to get demolished judging by the end of this week's episode, seems like a dozen or so mutants are going to emerge and start going ballistic.

Yah, not a lot of obvious good options here. Be a shut in, or try to figure out the lesser of two scum bags. That said, Makato has already formed relationships with his students and some former adventurers, so I'd hate to see him abandon humankind. Or hyumankind I suppose. And I'd like to think that when he's packing that much raw power, with magic as flexible as it is, he can't really be without leverage or options in dealing with a merchants guild.

Well, depending on how those 49 or so mutants left in the city go apeshit there might not be much left of anything (let alone a guild). It does represent an opportunity at the same time though, the students get to show off their progress and the Kuzohana company can show of how strong they are by cleaning up the mess.
That leaves the heroes being set up for defeat but I am having difficulty caring for them (especially the rapey one). There is also the prince/princess and retaking the territory issues for later. |

I kind of liked Mio's "Oops, how sad, another one of those merchants who was in our way got killed by a "demon" during the rampage idea.
But it looks like Makato wants to reclaim the sister's homeland from the demons and turn it into a kind of port for the demi-plane. Meanwhile the demons want to claim another human nation that Makato wants to protect. That means a double loss for the demons if Makato succeeds on both counts. |

Mio was also rather vindictive this week. The fleshy blob could have gone to the hero and helped her on her quest making for a fine redemption story but nah no dice. Meanwhile multiple cities are getting wrecked and the Kuzohana company now has a prime opportunity to shine (no thanks to that idiot of a headmaster). I do wonder how his visit to the merchant guild will go though.

I'm not sure I understand Makato's hesitation in stepping up directly in a "Lives are being taken every second I stand here with the power to stop it" kind of way since he's already decided to go against the demons for tricking him in this particular case. He seems to be spending a lot of time standing around waiting instead of actively sending his people running through different parts of the city toward every sign of smoke or carnage and blasting mutates left and right. If it's a calculated move to make hyumanity reach their limit so they'll value him more, he's being pretty cold. If it's some ideological "Let hyumanity have a chance to act with their own agency first" stance, it's pretty abstract to me.
I take it the king knew Makato's dad? And the greater dragon's desire that Makato become strong enough to kill the goddess ruining...I mean, "running" the world was a reminder of the series' ultimate direction. The Mio scene is a reminder that she's still an engine of destruction at heart, even if that's been somewhat mitigated by her capacity for affection. I'm not feeling too bad for Ilumgard though. Since he basically took a desire to apologize and somehow turned it into doubling down on acting like an @$$hole, playing dirty in a tournament, and making a pact with forces of darkness, I'm not convinced he would have taken his desire for revenge against demons and done anything productive or sensible or noteworthy with it. He seems like one of those people who, if you gave them lemons, would try to make a weak kind of pepper spray. |
