The man, the myth, the legend, Anos Voldigoad has returned! And he's already casually slaying Gods to save fairy spirits from getting raped like it's just another Tuesday for him
.
So...am I catching vibes from Great Spirit Mother Leno (Kana Asumi) and Anos' loyal right hand man Shin? Anos assigns Shin to be her bodyguard, his stoic demeanor contrasted with her energy and cuteness, and their companionship seems to have meant a lot to Leno in the end even after Anos pulled his sacrifice play. Also, there's a young Anos with a different name? Huh
?
I guess we need to talk about the elephant in the room which is the voice change for Anos...as much as I love Yuicihiro Umehara, he would not have been my first choice to replace Tatsuhisa Suzuki as Anos, but this isn't his first rodeo as a Demon King and I feel like he's doing his best to acclimate and capture Anos' character in his own way. His silky smooth delivery does fit well in its own way
.
Anos back with his fangirls and the Necron Sisters, two Best Girls back! And Sasha is still a bit of a tsundere wanting the guy she likes to notice her new ribbons which Anos does...but overexplains and analyzes it to the point of ruining the moment. Still a charmer, but still doesn't have quite the grasp on the right thing to say to a girl, but luckily he's got Misha
.
Ah, I see everyone's noticed what's going on between Lay and Misa. We even get to see that developed more as Lay tries to protect Misa and Misa wants to protect Lay and accepts both Lay and the Hero Kanon (even saying she loves him!), and Lay gives Misa the kiss she wanted back in season 1! Great progress
!
That's cool that Eleonore and Zeshia have transferred to the school! It's like we've got the whole gang together now
!
So now we're just going to basically and definitively tell the class that Anos is the true Demon King reborn and that everybody needs to bow and worship him...although that's not really what Anos is after and he'd rather just live his peaceful life as a student with the rest of the class. Although I did notice one girls' panties when they put everyone back in their seat
.
Okay, so we've got Rikiya Koyama playing a demon and new teacher for the class...who turns out to be the God Anos defeated in the opening of the episode...and then threatens everyone and plots to kill Anos...and then Anos defeats him (did you really think threatening the world would be enough to stop Anos?)...and then they're back to teaching the class like none of it happened. And this was our first day back too
.
So looks like they're after a Child of God who is destined or plotted to destroy Anos? And it might be one of Anos' people? I'm also interested in the lore behind that Goddess that Anos slew
.
Who needs a professional choir when you have the singing talents of the Anos Fangirls
?
So Anos is engaging in a battle of wits as the rest of this team end up in their own battles as an alliance of four royal demons to take down Anos leaves their subordinates to try and break Anos' team...Misa getting stabbed by Kouki Uchiyama (?) by Shin's sword (?) (poor girl thought she was getting to meet her father) and leaving Lay to protect her, Sasha and Misha trying to save poor Menou-sensei, and Eleonore and Zeshia having to save the trash trio from the Hero Academy. Really coming out of the gate with the action in this season premier
