Azazel and Maguro happen to do funeral services, but they might be more pale than she is.
She is just a teensy bit older than him at 200 years, she did 'live' with her parents for a lot of that though.
I imagine being a single parent might be a bit of a handful for her, she probably deserves a hand for being so patient, waiting for Kaisar offer his hand in marriage. Triple dumb hand joke! |

Mugaro appeared in a skirt in one of the early episodes looking off from top of a cliff. Other episodes show him or her wearing pants. I was surprised when it seemed that Nina definitively stated that Mugaro is female, but maybe others here are right, and she doesn't know any more than we do.
This is one of those instances where we have to rely on the translator, I suspect, though the writers could be playing with the lack of gender in the Japanese language. That would probably be difficult to convey. |

Fixed for the elusive quad, though with a brief touch on the landing. |

I'm wondering if this show will do anything with how Azazel's word choice basically made it sound like Nina is just a tool to be exploited by him. There's a lot they can do there narratively. That kind of thinking is how the demons got to where they are at this point after all. Then you have the romance angle and redemption arc if he realizes he only treated Nina like a weapon. I'm secretly hoping his actions ruins that ship because a several hundreds year old demon hooking up with the cute teen dragon girl creeps me out a little

Actually she did know he was investigating Mugaro, who she thinks is a girl, and she's pissed at him for being a pervert toward her friend because she doesn't know what he was really trying to see. The dance scene is just more fuel on my crazy-ass theory about Nina spoiler[actually being Amira. It was clearly a callback to Amira's drunken dancing with Favaro in Genesis. She even wondered out loud how she knew how to dance like that.] But the spit-take scene for me was this: 
Not just the expressive "body" language, but I love the little outfit she's made up for it.

So Nina's old crush wants to use her for killing her new crush who just happens to be the king she loathes for his enjoyment of torturing and killing everything that isn't human - i guess "terrible taste in men" doesn't even begin to describe her predicament...
I have become rather curious about Charioce's backstory now, though. Who's grave was that he visited for example? Also, Kaisar's words seem to have left a more lasting impression than expected. |

The next few episodes are going to be fun....
We already know quite abit about the new king, he is the son of a concubine, is quite determined to have humanity at the top of the food chain, loath the angels, despises the demons, has a ruthless streak a mile wide and is rather shrewd. About the grave, we don't know much about his mother but given that Bahamut was a destructive SOB in Genesis it would not be all that unreasonable to guess that she died in the fires. Especially given the fact that the only reason that this Charioce is king is the simple fact that every other candidate to the throne died in the destruction. |

I think Charioce himself had something to do with his rise to succession over his siblings. He even suggests that fact during, as I recall, the conversation with Kaisar. Bahamut's destruction could have hidden deeper crimes. |

And as if it wasn't clear already, Nina is the Facial Expression Queen. God damn.

Well with Charioce's rise to power, we know that the king did not have any official children, the mummy boy seemed to only have the image of being noble while also being jealous of Jean. Charioce must have been an illegitimate and had to work to be realised, we don't know if it was bloody. It does seem clear though that the time he lived amongst the people is something he enjoys and thus goes under disguise.
One of the mysteries in general is where Charioce is getting his power from, it seems to go to him being super strong that he was giving Nina a hard time. |

The latest episode really displays masterful usage of silence or in more musical terms, "rest". A lot of shows tend to forget that with BGM sometimes less is more. Sofiel's encounter with Bacchus and Mugaro really centered the focus on character expressions. And despite there being a grand parade only moments away, the town is surprisingly quiet almost as if everyone knows an ambush is coming. The tension was deliciously palpable. Reminds me of a good old western right before the final showdown, and just like your typical western, things don't often end well for lead characters.
Behold! The face of a man who has just realized his entire plan which hinged upon the horny urges of a young maiden, has utterly crumbled. 
Priceless. XD Also, I can't believe it took me this long to realize but: S1: Kaisar: FAVAROOOOO!!! S2: Azazel: CHARIOOOOCE!!! |

RIP Belphegor. Death by character assassination. At least Shadowverse portrayed you right.

S2 Ep.7
I was a tiny bit let down by the cliffhanger and yes I wanted the show to get much further along than it has. On the other hand, I feel the show has maintained quite a bit of fun and energy over 7 episodes while being strongly consistent in its story. Really its been chugging along solidly on all eight cylinders week after week. I'm a little impressed. I'm now expecting Mugaro to probably get captured and maybe Azazel too which should bring Jean more into the story (maybe? Hopefully.) thereby requiring a rescue by Nina with help from Kaiser plus maybe a hand ( ) from Rita.

That's not what the scene was about. Bacchus (who was never set up as a bad guy or anything) doesn't want to hand Mugaro over to Sofiel because he has a bad feeling about what they're planning with the kid. This was a little foreshadowing about what's going to happen to Mugaro once the angels get their hands on him.
Considering that he's Charioce XVII and the king in Genesis was Charioce XIV, there were three other Charioces in 10 years who were, well, dealt with...
I'm getting the feeling that Charioce is probably not 100% human, which would make his Humans First quest a bit ironic. |
