Honestly, the pacing feels way faster and a bit rushed in this episode, and the villain's sudden appearance is definitely the reason why. They just popped out of nowhere without a clear motive or proper foundation, so it felt lacking in depth and just created new plot holes. On the bright side, we finally get to explore more about Hiroshi—now that the Demon King is here, the Hero finally rises too. It definitely feels rushed now, but anyway, the comedy is still fun, and even with the mid-animation, the fight scenes are somehow still enjoyable and good to watch.
