Diablo rescues Horn. They reunite with their party at the final level, finding the most dangerous guardian in Diablo’s Dungeon.
Episode 5 – “Black Dragon Clash”
Hmm.
Takuma as Diablo in Demon Lord Ω has many facets of social awkwardness from which the comedy flows. One gets the spotlight this week – his inability to react to the moods of other people properly. As an introvert, Diablo can read the room. His problem is how to change the mood to make people feel better.
We saw in last week’s episode how he made Shera and Rem feel worse by saying and doing the exact opposite of what should comfort a girl. That comes from his inability to predict what motivates a feeling. Demon Lord Ω is all about putting Diablo in a situation where he recognizes a bad emotional situation and then makes jokes about how he deals with it as a role-playing Demon Lord.
All Diablo can do is guess at why people feel the way they feel. Sometimes the guess works to salvage a sticky situation, like how Horn believed him that he wasn’t a horny old sorcerer trying to get into her pants. Sometimes the guess is off, like how he hilariously sympathized with the Black Dragon for not wanting to die a virgin. I hope Demon Lord Ω shows us Diablo empathizing with people better as he interacts with his ever-growing harem, but I think we’ll just keep seeing the humor-generating device. It works!
Heh.
Uh oh. Continuing from Demon Lord Ω’s last episode, Shera, Rem, and Lumachina initially panic about Diablo diving into a river, but then they remember: He’s Diablo! He’ll be fine. Diablo lost his fast-casting scepter, though.
Har. EX rank equipment burns the best! Diablo will need a new cape. Oh, right. Diablo thinks Horn is a boy. Not anymore! Diablo is not a molester! Haha! His haughty Demon Lord voice talked him out of that sticky situation.
Shera and the others comfort themselves that they’ll meet Diablo and Horn soon enough. Aw. Horn wants Diablo Daddy. “Papa,” she called him. She explains that it’s safer to pass as a boy when she lives by herself. Awkward, but sweet moment. Diablo needs to use his backup scepter. It looks like a scythe.
Demon Lord Ω shows Diablo explaining to Horn what all the levels of the dungeon look like. Shouldn’t she wonder how he knows that since it’s his first time here? Diablo is confident the other girls can handle the challenges except for the twelfth and last level. Foreshadowing! The episode title relates somehow…
Uh oh. Gewalt arrived at the final level before everyone else. His fighting style is so annoying. Ah. Here’s someone who can handle his crap. That Black Dragon! What! Gewalt summoned an Ifrit (fire demon) to fight a dragon. This happened in TenSura (Slime Isekai) too. They became best friends over there. That won’t happen in Demon Lord Ω. Suddenly, it’s Godzilla versus Ultraman. How heretical is Gewalt to summon an Islamic Jinn even though he’s a Church Paladin?
Well, he tried. Black Dragon let Ifrit get some punches in, but it was only to demoralize Gewalt for one-shotting his ultimate weapon. Ouch. Gewalt got a gut full of the tail too. Not a good look. Lumachina healed him, of course. Black Dragon finds the Lumachina, Shera, and Rem interesting because of their gifts from God, a Demon Lord, and uh, being a Demon Lord’s mommy? Rem has a complicated story. Still, Black Dragon says they need to die.
A Demon Lord from another world always arrives right on time. Wait, that’s not right. Anyway, here’s Diablo! Diablo’s spellcasting is slower, but he still managed to complete the charging for mortal blows on Black Dragon. He chopped off his arms and wings! He’ll feel that in the morning. Ahahaha! Diablo thinks Black Dragon needs to live to get rid of his virginity!
Uh oh. Here’s Demon Lord Ω’s genuine final boss of Diablo’s Dungeon. A robot maid! She has a trigger for people calling her a puppet. Those arms coming through a dimensional gate remind me of Asura Cryin’. Eep! She sliced Black Dragon up! Diablo remembers her. The Magimatic Maid he placed on the thirteenth floor, Rose. Hoho. Takuma’s username was “@Diablo-13.” Rose is so happy to see her Master again.
Diablo’s hoard. He did need a dragon guarding a Demon Lord’s piles of gold and loot. The girls only learned right now that Diablo created this dungeon. Uh oh. Rose is a jealous yandere robot maid. The item Lumachina needs to lift the Death Knell Disease curse is a white ox. Thank goodness it’s not a golden calf. “Clicking” on an item in this world means touching it. Good to know. Oops. Innocent Lumachina learned what an orgasm feels like. Those death marks faded away. The white ox works. Um, what happened to Gewalt?
Time for gear and armor upgrades in Demon Lord Ω. Horn doesn’t want to wear a miniskirt. Rem needs to wear something underneath her new armor. Uh oh. Shera chose a ring to wear, but Diablo didn’t see which one it was. It’s a future plot point! Aw. Rose wanted something too. That’s a nice hairpin full of sentimental value.
More action coming up next time. That Varakness fellow attacked Zircon Tower City before his deadline. Diablo relishes the fun he’ll have while saving a city.
Artist kekocha smothers Diablo with the combined boob might of Lumachina, Shera, and Rose in the end card.
