Even when Akuto strove against expectations and tried super hard not to cooperate, they backed him into a corner, and he had to fight. In Akuto’s world, the church and even god were against the Demon King. It was my favorite scene in this episode. But do you want to know what’s really funny about how Demon King Daimao approached their critique? We stand apart.” YouTube had a good clip with that scene Nero says the line around 00:51. As Nero said in a recent Star Trek movie, “I do not speak for the empire. I do not speak for the church in any way. I have a degree in Roman Catholic theology.
In this episode, Demon King Daimao skewers that idea. Even Hiroshi Miwa, Akuto’s best friend, fell in line. Yuuko Hattori, Junko’s sister, bought into the lies. Whether it be as extreme as a stoning, as middle of the road as a public shunning, or simply as admonishments from the pulpit, leaders of organized religion often use social expectations as a weapon. By that, I mean that I’ve observed that religious institutions will use social pressure to keep the flock in line. Now, social expectations and organized religion often go hand in hand. For now.Īnother of my favorite aspects of the show, an aspect I haven’t talked a lot about, is how it takes aim at organized religion. The last two episodes dramatized Akuto’s battle against those expectations, and with Keena’s help, he won. For most of the season, Akuto fought to free himself of the expectations society placed on him because a strange demonic beast said his job would be Demon King. One of my favorite aspects of Demon King Daimao is how is skewers social norms and expectations. In a single paragraph, Akuto demonstrated more faith than anyone else in the series. I’m going to miss this show! Well, at least until I rewatch it again next year! Best in Show Moment for Demon King Daimao Episode 12 It almost seemed like she didn’t want to further burden him.
Her heart had to be breaking, but she still kept her statement light. As he strode towards his mount, Keena spoke up, a troubled expression on her face. Akuto expressed determination to fly Peter Hausen into a battle that would likely end both of their lives. My favorite quote from the episode is a perfect example of that. Whatever she is, she had a tendency to understate. Is she just a ditzy redhead? The driving force behind the divinity in this world? Or something more? And smack dab in the middle of that core stands Keena. Demon King Daimao, at its heart, beyond even the fanservice and ecchi elements, is a work of philosophy. There’s a fascinating discussion of Keena as the Principle of Identity (or the Law of Identity) over on VS Battles Wiki. Keena, in the Crunchyroll sub, said, “Don’t ram it!” I like the Blu Ray translation (see below) much better! Capture from the Crunchyroll stream.
