I am getting fucking old, that also got me tear up a bit.
I guess the power of double cream is just too great
Trying to make Princess skip breakfast was actually more torturous for Totura and the Kobayashis lol. Pretty funny how they caved in the end. They’re professional torturers, not monsters!
The double cream cookie in milk straight broke Princess’s brain lol. Total double KO. Maomao making papa Demon Lord proud lol.
1. As mentioned, some machines are set up so that it requires a few attempts to win the prize.
2. For other machines (i.e. some of the Japanese claw machines in those claw arcades that started to appear in America), the secret is figuring out the proper way to get the prize to stay hooked to the claw (for instance, some plushies are easier to win if you try to grab them while they're laying in a horizontal position).
Wait a minute.....
Starving her, I think this was the first genuine "torture" technique we've seen on this show!
(if they kept up with it for more than 5 minutes!)
[](#watashiworried)
[](#bigthink)
[](#hikariactually)
Edit to add: This is also what I get for posting before finishing the episode as they show the futon and comfy sleeping in this very episode. Ah well, I am reassured.
The Hell Horde has provided their prisoners with some decent basic amenities.
Yeah I can see them teasing their first encounter through this season and use it as a cliff hanger
Or - given she was shown to be a bit more serious than the others - perhaps she'll realize they aren't really torturing her!
(If she does refuse to torture her, perhaps they'll flip things around and torture Sakura to get Hime to talk? Because surely at some point they'll address the conflict and all!)
[](#schemingsaten)
They finally did something that was actually approaching "normal" torture this ep, how could they leave Ex all alone while they went to the arcade! Surprised he didnt confess just out of pettiness for being left out!
Just doing stuff around their apartment, driving cars, going to the mall, like it's no big deal.
There is never a scene showing them traveling to and from, no transition. They're just suddenly in Japan when not in the castle as if they teleported.
It sometimes almost feels like they’re all just actors on a studio set.
Not that different to driving up to Disneyland for work or so.
Also interesting that the country from the princess is also always shown with the big castle and medieval old towns, but then we get her at family restaurants or dagashis
I do love how nice the demon countries lives are though.
Good work conditions and I think they mentioned health insurance and stuff too
[](#justright)
I've never really been fond of Oreos dunked into milk, but twisting them apart and making a homemade double stack is a classic.
Super Saiyan Hime-sama confesses with great vigor.
I'll never get tired of how the demon realm is just basically modern Japan. We have [Hime and the girls](https://i.imgur.com/HKD5eaO.jpeg) hanging out in this world's version[ of the famous Sega Arcade Building 2](https://i.imgur.com/7Z7mn4c.jpeg), while Torture and Sakura are [on a food trip in a mall.](https://i.imgur.com/W87Sja3.jpeg) I bet that mall is also based on a real location.
[Not giving Hime breakfast](https://i.imgur.com/sNYpJ1f.jpeg), is definitely the cruellest torture idea Torture has come up with. [How can you even deny this adorable creature her breakfast?](https://i.imgur.com/T9pNlU0.jpeg) Thankfully, Torture broke after hearing Hime's growling stomach. [Just look at how happy Hime is!](https://i.imgur.com/PzBBrPr.jpeg)
[Hime really thought she had a chance after Giant's head massage.](https://i.imgur.com/blB20T2.jpeg) All it did to her was [confess to Torture more energetically.](https://i.imgur.com/NVyGfRS.jpeg) I can't blame her. Head massages are awesome. xD
[After this episode, they really should get Maomao to endorse Oreos.](https://i.imgur.com/CCfGF7H.jpeg) I love how she blew Hime's mind by [introducing her to the concept of double stuffed.](https://i.imgur.com/DLQrJpq.jpeg) And just look at [how proud the Demon Lord is of his daughter.](https://i.imgur.com/O7kG9ib.jpeg) <3
[And Hime's morning routine!](https://i.imgur.com/gFhs871.jpeg) I can definitely relate to her just doomscrolling on your phone instead of actually waking up.
yeah, that mall area feels very familiar; i feel like i've been to places like that in my trips to Japan, like a fifth floor of a building where they have these paths flanked with restaurants on both sides like a Seizeria or something
it also reminds me of that restaurant in Otherside Picnic (a slightly less comfy show)
Love how on her "off-torture" days she just goes to the arcade and stuff hah.
But Sakura had the better deal, [going on a little date with Tortura!](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/61356388aa89.png)
[](#delighted)
[So she doesn't know... How will she take it, that is the question!](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/3a53e6b5427e.png)
If she didn't have it in her to kill her, what will she think of 'torturing' her? Well, she seems to be a bit more serious a character than the others, so perhaps she'll be the straightman/voice of reason and realize "It's not torture at all"?
[*The real torture is not waking up to this cutie every day*](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/6b3dcf8d9653.png)
[Well if they had been serious about it, THIS would've been a bit closer to actual torture, starving her (for like 5 minutes)!](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/7ca61247103f.png)
[Something tells me that Tortura kinda forgot what torture was about, sometime along the way!](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/b77c33b043ca.png)
[](#azusalaugh)
[Oh no! Will they bring her in to "torture" her while Hime watches?](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/cf9cd9d918a3.png)
She's been pretty resilient so far, but the sight of her sister being tortured could get her to talk for the ~~first~~ 1001st time!
[Love how chaining herself up is part of her morning routine hah.](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/409e54dc2934.png)
[That might be relatable to some!](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/7e6c97a25a2a.png)
N-Not me of course...
[](#spooked)
(Insert "Poochie" joke here)
[it was kind of like ten dates in a row](https://i.imgur.com/scHRmB1.png)
what a workaholic
[](#towel)
[**It should've been meeeeeeee**](#itsnotfair)
[](#cup7)
"We will give this delicious-looking dessert... to your sister!"
"You monsters!"
Just like any other nine-to-five job, both Princess and Torture needs a little bit of rest after a long week of torture.
I did notice that Sakura’s face has already brightened up a ton. She looks so much more happy!
Her methods are highly effective so maybe we're the misguided ones.
I think if she DID try to torture her for real, Hime may actually resist! Pain and fear don't mean much to her.
So she personalized the 'torture' to the victim, and found something that really worked!
Each torturer has their own specialty and tortura just so happens to be the perfect fit for hime (no, its actually vanilla peschutz. Where the hell is vanilla!)
Maomao's wouldn't work on me, though. Double stuffed Oreo's give me a stomach ache.
I thought it was funny how Torture thought making Hime skip a meal would make her torture go better but she and the chef couple were the ones made to go through torture lol.
Ex's concern for Hime's image as she got more and more comfy was funny, the icing on the cake was the actual censor when she 100% lol. I like how Hime stayed in that 100% form and even confessed without Torture needing to torture her.
Maomao's torture definitely was the most unexpected, she proved she should not be underestimated. She's a force to be reckoned with.
Overall, [this was such a fun episode](https://imgchest.com/p/pg736rx8v7r), I loved it! Denying Hime breakfast was so cruel that [even Datarma couldn't stand it](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/53519f757563.png), not to mention [Mr. and Mrs. Kobayashi](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/e19522daf0c2.png). Thank goodness that after hearing [Hime's stomach growl](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/8b5690e5eb16.png), Tortura stopped that cruelty.
[Hime's reactions were, as always, so hilarious!](https://imgchest.com/p/n87wql5q37x) That [pixelated face](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/a83be9b6f7ef.png) after the Comfy Face-o-Meter broke during [a head spa treatment](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/10e3e0fc33b6.png) absolutely cracked me up xD
[Maomao seems to be a much better torturer than before](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/3de0bffc3277.png), as even [Hime was shocked](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/a40e955a31f3.png) by [her torture](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/e643e3931dab.png) today. I'm so proud of her; she's grown so much!
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

that scene with Maomao's face on the samurai sent me
Making Princess skip a meal. That's very torturous. I'd have given in immediately seeing how sad she is.
I'm envious of Princess. I wish Giant would give me a head massage.
MaoMao's torture completely obliterated Princess. We're all proud of her.
like, some of these production pics on twitter is like looking at technical documents from NASA or something

Characters wise, a mixed bag between the both of them ... maybe its slightly more positive for torture than sleepy?
[](#longday)

[Thought for a brief moment that Hime was gonna piss herself](https://imgur.com/pjIt6AO)

Maomao stealing the show at the end. Her torture comes from how wholesome and adorable she is. Though I doubt she realizes how precious she is.
Also never really believed in pressure points, but if they work half as well as shown I am in.
And its gruesome how they make her wake up at 0730, god I wish I was tortured that way every day.
Oh yeah and the demon lord tearing up on his daughter's first perfect torture, just too relatable.
I love that dude
It was adorable how just had all the expressions of a dog waiting for the owner to bring it breakfast.
I hereby petition this community to start using the word "Surrendable".
I laughed so hard at the depiction of her morning rituals lmao
I was also eating milk and cookie as I watch this episode. You can't beat milk and cookie.
