Forgive me for my limited attention span and short term memory loss...

iceland didn't do any of that

He fights for demons because they're being persecuted. Ones hero is anothers villain.

Without that, hes just left as someone that's naturally inclined to act good, but without the responsibility of fighting for his kind.

Heart of gold? He lived in a horrible dystopia where it was common for children's bodies to pile up in the streets, you had to wear a mask because the air was polluted and he never saw a tree/grass outside of old pictures. One of his friends also got assassinated for pissing off an evil megacorp.

Suzuki Satoru's circumstances shaped him and the effects of his new undead body didn't help. He is an extremely fucked up individual given ultimate power. Certainly not an average salaryman with a heart of gold.

There isn't any other way to fuel demon society except with scream energy.

Why didn't he make the laws in this world nor follow the human laws in his old world?

Energy crisis. Demons literally feed on negative emotions so he needed some sort of conflict after the unification of the demon realm

>Mcdonalds wageslave indoctrination/pacification system is stronger than the demon lord
How many people did Maou kill in his world? A few dozen heros that actually got to him? Even Lucifer who's the worst wiped out like 1 village? His organization as a whole didn't even control all the continents.

Meanwhile Mcdonalds is in just about every country in the world. They are able to somehow make humans suffer as their slave labor while serving other slavelabor who pay them for """food""" that causes a lifetime of diabetes and obesity before a slow painful early demise.

Demon are simple beings. They fall in line to those who are stronger. Mcdonalds is way more powerful and evil than he ever was. The amount of pain, suffering, and death such an organization spreads upon earth on a daily basis is more than anything Maou could do within his entire lifetime in his old world.

His race would die.

Living in a horrible environment doesn't turn you into a villain. All evidences indicate that he never harmed anyone before and just wished the best for everyone, it's his subordinate who did bad things.

Can't he just make his demons fight each other in arenas? Like the Romans?

I think you could call him force of nature back when he was in his old world, just doing what he was meant to do.
Then when he was removed from that role he decided to live a normal life in his new world.

He can still play a force of nature in his new world, guns or even gasoline is more than enough.

It is like asking if wind energy can replace nuclear power plants

It's a very Japanese mindset.
When he came to Japan he found a role to fill. By fulfilling a role he found his proper place in society. Because he was in his proper place and acting accordingly, that made him a good person, and so he acted good.
When he was in the other world, he was fighting it, trying to force it to conform to his desires. By not fitting into society he became evil and did evil things.

true, but on the other hand each world has its own rules, his original world was ruled by magic and supernatural, with clear division between "good" and "bad" at least on surface, maybe he was kind of bound by fate to play the role of ultimate evil and when he went to "our" world he was that was no longer the case and he was free to do what he wants

>asking if wind energy can replace nuclear power plants
It can...

medieval iceland was a fucked up ancap fantasyland, so it doesn't count

There are also good and evil in this world. Why didn't he pursuit the path of evil and become a terrorist?

Maou is likable because he is a self made man who treats his subordinates well and ultimately wishes to be left alone in peace. The race war between humans and demons did not start with Maou, he was only one in a long line of participants in a cycle of revenge. Notice that he brought none of his quarrels with humanity to Earth, and instead seeks to be a model employee and leader just as he was in his original world.

A man should not be judged by his past sins, but by how he acts when given the chance for a fresh start.

you think wind energy can sustain a country with population bigger than 10 people?

It doesn't explain why he doesn't try to fight the status quo in Japan.

Chiho’s feet are the best.
Emi Yusa a shit.

But a man doing a 180 to his past life for no reason means a very bad writing.

>i wanna make another generic slice-of-life show about normal people doing the same dumb shit you see in every generic slice-of-life show
>but how will i convince people to watch it over others?
>how about an interesting premise that we will completely drop and forget about already halfway through the first episode
>that'll do it
it's literally just generic anime + 1 cool scene

what does an mean? What does cap mean?

It just means he hasn't shared the reason with anyone.

You're better off not knowing.

as I said, he might have been bound by some divine force to play the role of bad guy, without even knowing it, and it ended after leaving his original world
it was magical world with angels and demons battling each other after all, might as well been just playground of some fucked up gods with him and everyone else just being pawns, and he stopped being a pawn when he left

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho-capitalism

Because he initially needed resources, thus getting the job. One employed he became fulfilled and fighting against society was unnecessary.

Because Japanese anime hit the point where they began to question authority so we had a series of anime where
>good=corrupt
>evil =misunderstood
In the LN I think it explains that the church was going to genocide the demons, and pushed them back to an area where they would starve to death, so Mao led an uprising against them to save his people, gain farm lands, and take revenge on the church.

The church I think staged the attack on Emelia's home. Her dad is still alive and Mao's forces never really attacked her village. The church just did it to motivate Emelia to fight the demon lord.

He generally wasn't that bad of a guy, just one who got kind of carried away with climbing to power. He didn't realize that he was playing right into the hands of the jews who were escalating the war for their own gain.

He started life as a weak demon and climbed his way to the top within the system to become the demon lord. He's enjoying having to start over so he can climb through the ranks again.

He didn't know what humans were or how they were "living." To him, he was just taking down some blockades that were on the way to his destination

It means violate the nap at your own risk

>180 to his past life
He lost everything he worked for, got kicked out of his original world, lost his magic ability, and had to rapidly adapt or die to the rules of modern Japanese wage slave labor. If he didn't do a 180, he'd have ended up in prison.

No it fucking cant

Woudn't there be a lot of negative emotions in a prison though? He can basically be the shadow king of the prison.

So basically the anime doesn't cover enough of the LNs for the main character to make sense.

>A man should not be judged by his past sins, but by how he acts when given the chance for a fresh start.

t.Hitler

Doesn't he also remark about how surprised he is at his own callousness in his new body, until he decides it's simply because his new undead body has removed all significant emotion, meaning no sympathy/empathy for anyone he doesn't have strong memories of?

Had it gotten another season they may have covered it, but I doubt they'd have gone too deep into things aside from the church corruption and emelia's dad still being alive. I doubt Maou being given more depth would have happened at this point.

Looking at the replies I think I am literally the only guy in this thread who is reading the lns, so I'll give you an answer. [Spoiler] Everything is explained in one of the greatest scenes in the light novel in volume 10, which also made me a suzuno fag. Go read the light novel.[/spoiler]

the key here being that he did a 180, when in reality Maou was always like this. Just never bothered to properly look at the humans he was at war with.

What would Yang wen-li be doing if the war between the FPA and the Empire ended amicably before he could join?

It was fucking disappointing. I was super excited after the first episode shenanigans, only to be let down as it progressively became just another generic slice of life anime

I wanted it to be a short series about two demons doing retarded things while trying to infiltrate the human world. Accidentally picking a cab while trying to shoot a magic spell and shit like that. It probably wouldn't stay funny for very long, but it wouldn't have been nearly as disappointing.

Do you still read it? Is Maou x Emi a thing yet in latest volumes? Or it is still the same tease when Emi acts like deredere but Sadao does not know how to handle her
